NO RECOUNT
SAYS DURAND
DIRECTOR OP CENSUS DECLARES
TEXAS GOT SQUARE DEAL.
CAN'T BE THOUGHT OF
State Made Big Gain, He Point* Out,
and Texan* Ought to Be Sat-
isfied With Showing.
Washington, Dec. 9.—"Texas will
not get a recount," said Director Du-
rand of tbe census bureau today, re-
ferring to the complaint* regarding
the census figure* on Che population
of that state.
"I confess that I am myself some-
what'disappointed over the result,"
he continued, "but a little thought
will explain the situation to anyone.
"There has been a very rapid
growth in the Panhandle section of
the state, but that is the thinly pop-
ulated region, and while there may
have been a large proportionate
growth there, it has comparatively
little Influence on the figures for
tbe entire state.
"The same conditions prevail in
tbe eastern part of tbe state that
have been noted in other southern
mates in the Mississippi valley. In
a number of counties there was an
actual falling off.
"Tbe gain recorded, almost 28 per
cent, Is large for so extensive an
area as Texas and there should be no
reason tbr dissatisfaction. Tbe cen-
sus was taken by Texas people and
there is no reason to suppose th.it
they would defraud themselves.
"Another count would Involve the
Fame possibilities or error, and would
probably afford no relief to tbe feel-
ings of the inhabitants of the state.
"Moreover a recount would stand
In the way of the reapportionment
for the house of representatives and
can not be thought of."

BIBLE ON BALLOT,
ELECTION IS VOID
EZNTUCKY COURT OF APPEALS
HANDS DOWN DECISION.
Opinion Say* There I* a Statute
Against Using Bible as an
Emblem in That State.
Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 9.—Because
the "drys" of Powell county, Ky., us-
ed the Bible as an emblem on their
ballots in a recent local option elec-
tion and carried the county the state
court of appeals yesterday declared
tbe election void. On each ballot was
the picture of an open book with tbe
words "Holy Bible'' underneath.
The "wets" for an emblem used
the picture of a whiakey bottle and
a glass out of which protruded the
head of a snake.
At the first trial, witnesses testl-
fiel that they were told that If they
wanted to go to heaven they should
make their mark under the Bible.
One said he wanted to vote "wet
but feared if he did not vote under
the arlgn of the Bible the Almighty
would wreak vengeance on him.
In the opinion handed down yes-
terday it is said that a statute pro-
hibits the use of the Bible as an em-
blem on election ballots.

The Closing Year Has Been One of Achievement in Which Rapid Strides
Forward Have Been Made—What May Be Confidently Ex* ' *
pected During the Twelve Monhts of 1911.
"Watchman, what of the hour?"
"Eleven o'clock and a'll well."
What of the "all's well" In Temple,
In this, her eleventh UoutT
Has all gone well through the year
now drawing to close—is the outlook
for the dawning%»f another year-day
bright?
The "all's well," as It Bounded from
the colonial guardian making hi*
rounds with his lanthorn, 1* echoed In
Temple today.
All 1* well in Temple's last year of
achievement*. "Health, wealth anJ"
happiness" have been bera.
A wonderful year it has been, tor
town and country- The dreams of a
lifetime have been realized. She ha*
accomplished ao many great under-
taking.9 and realized on ao many big
hopes, that enumeration with explan-
ation is not here attempted, but In
only a brief way, there are named
some of the big *ucce*ae* to the
credt of 1910.
The municipal water system ha*
been constructed, almost to final com-
pletion.
The Santa Fe has "demonstrated'
her intentions regarding Temple as
the operating headquarters of the
transcontinental lines, and a product
of the year is the splendid new, pas-
senger station, one of the finest in
the entire country. Rearrangement
of the yards and occupancy of the new
yards purchased the year previous,
are other heavy investments made by
the road.
Street paving—that bugaboo, which
bad from the beginning been recog-
nized as bound to come if the town
should ever grow to proportions of
a city. Is another of the acquisitions
of the year.
The Temple-Northwestern railroad,
conceived in the- latter months of tbe
year 1909, was given being this year,
and from Just a mere conception,
more of a dream of a promoter than a
probability. It la now an actuality,
owned and con trolled by local people,
and with the end of the last Up of
construction ip sight.
The fine five-story bank building,
a child of confidence In Temple*a fu-
ture, and a model for subsequent
structures, was completed and occu-
pied thla year. The Santa Fe hos-
pital was alio another big institution
•building to be' completed and occu-
pied.
A number of snbatantial brick busi-
ness house* have been built during
the year, aad the residences which
have gone up all over town have been
the wonder of all observers. Sidewalk
building has taxed the capacities of
several contractor*, who have been
behind on their contracts from the
beginning until now. The electric
light plant ha* completed Its instal-
lation a, and the streets have been
lighted as never before.
These are only some of the visible
issprovemeats aad realization*. Many
more might be Mentioned, aad In the
tbe optimists,
who have had part and parcel In
bringing about tbe era of municipal
progress. Business baa been good
with^fhe merchants, crops have been
good and prlees high, for the farmers;
health has been good; educational
progress has been made; many plans
for future consummation have beeu
perfected.
It has been a good year—Temple's
banner year.
THE COMING YEAR
And now we approach 1911. Over
Into the new—year are carried big
projects, it should be even a more
marked year than has the past and
there are in sight undertakings which
guarantee that Temple will be a city
of progresslveness.
Of the known big improvements to
be Inaugurated early in the year may
be mentioned:
The $70,000 federal building, for
which the excavations are now being
made.
A $100,000 school building expendi-
ture, most of which will be put into
a high school structure and for which
tbe bonds are issued and ready for
disposal
A $200,000 Harvey eating house, to
be built by the Santa Fe, and which
will be provided for in the January
budget, the detail plans having been
drawn and approved.
A $42,000 addition to the machinery
and tools of the Santa Fe machine
shops, the appropriation having been
made.
The completion ~bf "Peach Tree
Farm," the big dairy now being built
QUALITY
Style, fit and pattern catch a
man's eye, but quality is the
magnet that holds hi* trade.
Quality means your money's
worth for every dollar you
spend, and that's what you
get with every purchase at
this store.
We've suits as low as $15,
and some as high as $35.
Every one represents more
quality than you usually get

These are things decided oa, and
ready for touching the button, or al-
ready begun. It is a list from mem-
ory, rather incomplete than over-
drawn, and it represents only those
things which are planned for th* first
of the year consummation.
Going farther, and dealing In proba-
bilities, which, some of them at least,
will develop before the year 1* out,
there 1* talk of two fine new church
building*—Methodist and Baptist-
partial completion of arrangements
for a big bank building, probably a
skyscraper—a freight aad transfer de-
pot for the Santa Fe, which Is to be
a monster when it Is bull!—probabili-
ties of a gas plant—probabilities of the
starting of another new railroad aa a
local enterprise, and depending on
the sale of the Temple-Northwestern,
for which offers have been made-
probability of an lnterurban electric
or motor line to Waco, thla being a
Waco enterprise so far—building
of several business houses, which are
nnder consideration now—the contin-
uation .of residence and sidewalk
building—possibility of a Stag auditor-
ium—installation of municipal
toi>—se many probabilities and
stbllltles, all of which are In process
of development of plans, that the list
grows almost wearisome. Aad of
those things which are yet to be
evolved, no mention may be ventured;
sufficient to state that it la hardly
probable that all the developments
for thp coming year have already been
planned and made public. Other build-
ings and other enterprises are to be
expected, and rumors of som* very
important ones bavs been heard.
It ia not probable that every im-
provement here enumerated will reach
fruition the coming year, but many
of tiem will, and most of them are al-
ready arranged for, the only doubt
being that they will all come wlthl*
the succeeding twelve months. They
are all oa the way aad mors with
