Candidate Lane has reconsidered
his determination to attend the Dal-
las pro conference. He now says:
"What's the use?"
The international dry farming
congress wa~ rained out at Tulsa the
first day of the meet. The managers
of the affair should have been more
particular.
Mrs. Paukhurst bais been given op-
portunity to talk to Americans and
so far as reported, no brick-heaving
squads have organized to practice
her system of campaigning.
The rymor that a cabinet officer
might resign his post would not bring
half the protest which accompanies
the rumor that Home-run Baker is
contemplating a divorce from base-
ball.
Galvestou had a twelve inch raiu
Wednesday and anybody who has
U»ep»^n Galveston can imagine how
much of the island was showing
above water. No wonder the wires
were down.
To be called a highwayman in
these days and times is to be com-
plimented. Temple has a lot of the
gentry and they will he on exhibit at
the mass meeting in the opera house
next week.
Felix Dial has landed In Mexico,
.pgalwst the advice of friends who fear
that Huerta will make way with him.
Felix is nominatlly a candidate for
ihe presidency, and according to the
rules which are supposed to govern
In such cases, it is his turn.
Information comes from Mexico
that two Maderos, brothers of the
slain president. haTe been arrested
charged with conspiring against the
present government. The report may
Dot be true, but it is plausible, and
the prospects are that the charge is
well founded.
The inhabitants of the rural dis-
i tricts of Precinct 5 will govern them-
! selves as they see fit, with reference
i to meeting in primary conventions
i to select delegates to the good roads
'convention to be held in-Temple. It
I is not to be expec ted that the pro-
I posal to make a bonding district of
ithe precinct will meet with unanim-
jous favor. It will not bo unauim-
i ously voted in Temple, itfid in both
j country and to.wa the subject is de-
batable and should be debated. The
!calling of neighborhood meetings is
j for the very purpose of discussing the
| proposition and of registering the
i will of the people.
Whether cne favors or disapproves
of the taxing of property to build
good roads, it must be admitted that
the proposal now made, to create a
bonding district, is fair. If good
roads in country and good streets in
town are to be obtained in any way,
they must be paid for by the citizen-
ship, and the long-time bonding sys-
tem is the only one feasible by which
the burden may be equitably shared
and by which those who are finan-
cially unable to meet a sudden obli-
gation can come in on the deal. The
load is distributed among the many
aud over a long period of years.
If Commissioner Dickey or any of
his predecessors in office had in the
past heen given $250,000 in cash all
at one time and told to go make good
roads in his precinct, he would have
delivered the goods promptly and the
users of country highways would
have been for years driving over
smooth pike roads instead of bump-
ing along or dragging through mud.
As it is, the commissioners of Pre-
cinct 5 have spent very much more
than $500,000 in recent years, in
piecemeal doling out, without having
been enabled to make a single mile
of good road. They have accom-
plished much in the way of making
the black dirt roads better, in plac-
ing bridges and culvert*., but their
efforts have brought no further re-
sult than to secure partial drainage of
the lanes. The rains continue to
make black t irt sticky and no amount
of rounding up will change the na-
ture of the black dirt. Nothing less
than a perfect drainage and a top
dressing of non-stick'.ble substance
will create the permanent good road.
With the securing of funds for
permanent Improving, and with the
amount available all at once, the pre-
cinct can be lifteo out of the mud
and at less expense than under the
present system which secures nothing
first-class and which gives no per-
manency t-> the work which is done.
The subject is worthy of serious
and fair consideration. It is a busi-
ness proposition and it should be met
in business way.
Let every man think on the sub-
ject and let him express himself,
either in neighborhood meetijij..or in
the general conference to be held in
Temple. It is a subjtct on which
the vote of all property owners in the
precinct will be taken. There is no
desire on the part of any one nor of
any group, to rush the matter
through by any other than full and
free co-operation of all interested.
Give the proposition a fair considera-
tion—that is all the promoters of the
plan ask.
cotton has been storm-wasted to
have paid for the picking of the crop
which was open before the bad
weather set in, and another loes in
price on sample has almost been suf-
ficient to have paid the cost of early
picking. Who, of the men now hir-
ing pickers at big rates, did not i e-
| fuse to hire pickers early in the sea-
|son, for less rates? The pickers left
! for South Texas because they paid
j better prices .there and Bell county
1cotton was beaten intp the mud by
! rains and wrapped in strings about
the burs by winds.

PRES. W00DR0W WILSON'S
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
WASHINGTON Oct. 23.—President Wilaon today designated Thurs-
day, November 37, as Thanksgiving Day and issued the following—his
first—Thanksgiving proclamation:
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
"The season is at hand In which it has been our. long-respected cus-
tom as a people to turn in praise and Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His manifold mercies and blessings to us as a nation.
"The year that has Just passed has been marked in a peculiar de-
gree by manifestations of His gracious and beneficent providence. We
have not only had peace throughout our own borders and with the na-
tions of the world, but tha< peace has brightened by constantly multi-
plying evidences of genuine friendship, of mutual sympathy and under-
standing, and of the happy operation of many elevating influences both
of ideal and of practice. ,
"The nation has been prosperous, not only, b»t has proved its
capacity to take calm counsel amidst the rapid movement of affairs
and deal with its own life in a spirit of candor, righteousness and comity.
We have seen the practical completion of a great work at the Isthmus
of Panama which not only exemplifies the nation's abundant resources
to accomplish what it wiil and the distinguished skill and capacity of its
public servants, but also promises the beginning of a new age, of new
contacts, new neighborhoods, new sympathies, new bonds and new
achievements of co-operation and peace.
" 'Righteousness exalteth a nation," jind 'peace on earth, good will
to men,' furnish the only foundations upon which can be built the lasting
achievements of the human spirit. The year has brought us the satis-
faction of work well done and fresh visions of our 4uty which will make
the work of the future better still.
"Now therefore, X, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States
of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the 27th of November next,
as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer and invite the people throughout
the land to cease from their wonted occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship, render thanks to Almighty Ood.
"In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the City of Washington this 23rd day of October In the
year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and of the
Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred and
thirty-eighth.

A receiver is to be appointed for

A man named Solomon has been
convicted* in Houston on a white

should come to Houston" order?
462,379 pensioners are still on the
rolls, drawing money from the gov-
ernment for alleged services in a war
which closed nearly fifty years ago.
That number represents one-fifth of
all the enlistments in the federal
armies, during the five years fighting
and the pay roll is probably greater
now than at any time during the con-
flict. In other words, the tax payers
have been supporting the entire
jarmy, In its salaiy list, ever since
j the war closed. Except for the sup-
I plies which would have been required
] in the maintenance, the expense is
equivalent to having maintained a
standing army equal to ths average
army of war times. The weakest
feature of the democratic leadership,
including president, Bryan and all,
is that they fear, for political rea-
sons, to attack this monstrous evil
of the abused pension service.

■how that in great majority of Buita
filed a "blonde woman" is the dis-
turbing factor in marital felicity.
Another delver into statistical pre-
sentations now comes forward and
asserts that the records show that
fcrown-eyed men are the Lotharios of
the male sex. There is more wool
on white sheep than on black ones,
lor the reason that there are more
white sheep than there are black
*heep. The same line of calculation
tpplies to brown-eyed men getting
Into trtiuble more often than the

accounting for the blonde women
performance. Blondes are compara-
tively scarce. And the man might

does look good.
The city of Houston is to abolish
grade crossings, if the Mayor can put
it over. About 100 such crossings
are maintained in that bustling city
and the number of accidents is
alarming. The problem is one of
magnitude, yet the safety of the pub-
lic demands a change. It is cheaper
to build overhead crossings than to
kill people and pay their heirs dam-
ages, even if the proposition be con-
sidered in a purely commercial light.
There is gradual realiziug of the
fact that the cotton crop is short.
They may be doing pretty well over
east of the Mississippi river but when
old Texas falls down the crop is
short. Texas had only a moderate
yield this year to commence with
and the storms and rains have de-
stroyed bo much of that until there
is a big shortage, proLably of from a
million to a million and a half bales
from what would have been saved
had the fall weather been ordinary.

note payable October 15, 1913,
for the balance of ona dollar.
Each subscriber who took advan-
tage of this unusual offer has b<*ea
mailed a notice of the date his
note matured. Nearly all have re-
mitted promptly upon receipt of
this notice, but, as there «re still a

The question of changing the name
of the Methodist church from M. E.
Church, South to M. E. Church of
America, is to come before the Cen-
tral Texas conference in session at
Temple early r.ext month. The gen-
eral conference at Asheville acted
favorably on the charge in name and
the subject is referred to the district
conferences, three-fourths of which
' must approve in order for the new
name to be substituted. There are
indications that the proposal will be
defeated when all the returns are in
and counted.

Since the birth «f the republic, since the
election of George Washington. th» first
president of the United States, men of the
pen have never received the political rec-
ognition that has been extended them oy
President Wilson. "President Wilson has
selected his foreign corps with the frre&test
care and he has given men of the pen the
choice of foreign posts. He is the first
president since the riava of Washington who
has selected to dignify the press and men
of letters. He has not done this with the
hope of gaining favorable crlticisn* but ho-
rause he has recognised the ability of the
men he has selected to represent the Unit-
ed States In the most Important courts of
Hurops.—Mike Harris In Waco Horning
News.
' The spirit of commercialism will
not be the dominant inspiration con-
trolling the activities of our foreign
diplomatic service under' the newly
established governmental policy, for
these men of letters and of the press
have not been trained In that school.
Perhaps a better feeling among the
nations of the earth will be fostered
by these men for the United States
and her institutions. The policy of
our government formerly was to ex-
ploit the Philippines and the com-
merce of weaker nations in the In-
terest of American capital, thereby
engendering a hatred and a belief
that we as a nation were interested
only in the making of money—and
not in the propagation of the great
principles of justice and liberty, of
which we so proudly boast. Perhaps
we shall now see our government take
its rightful place among nations as
the foremost exemplar of high ideals
in the maintenance of national hon-
or and in advancing the common
prosperity of its people, a friend of
all nations, an enemy of nfflie.

A range In prices of cotton from

range prevailed Wednesday, in actual

nobody wanted the dirty, wet-ginned

The Cleburne Review reports the ease of

ed by those from whom report* are re-
quired. Them Is a strict taw requiring these

vere. but when It is kasam that fallarea to
report births and deaths are largely if not
wholly becauas of partisan uas. the tinea pi-e-

but their completeness.—Denton Record and
Chronicle.
The physicians msy feel that they
are not bound to serve the govern-
ment In gathering statistics unless
some provision Is made to pay- them
for the work of reporting births and
deaths. Since ordinary mortals arc
compelled to serve the state on Juries
regardless of their desire to do so, it
would seem but fair that physicians
who sre exempt from Jury service
should accept this form of public
service as their part in the govern-
mental scheme and perform it gladly
without asking for pky—they get pay
from thefr victims anyhow in each
Instance.
Facets are the little flat planes oa
the Diamond and other pi-ecioua
stones that draw and reftect the Light
and give Value and Fascination to
the stone itself. Experts wilt tell you
that the Diamond in the rough is
worth but from five to about fifty dol-
lars a Karat, whereas after being cut
—and polished—each Facet brilliant',
ly blazing its light, the Diamonds be-
comes worth from one to five hun-
dred dollars a Karat, or thereabout.
It is the Cutting and Polishing that
jumps Diamond values.
A Human Being is often likened to
a Diamond in the I to ugh. And those
who stand out above others and draw
others their way and who demand
aud command Respect and Honor are
those who have cut and polished ths
largest number of Facets from their
natural Human Worth in the Rough.
All excellence results from Sweat and
Kffort—from the warming of healthy

That nan's life is worth most who
realizes his Possibilities most.
For the concealed, uncut Facets
are the Possibilities. The larger ths
number of Facets, the greater la tho
brilliance of the Ktoae aud the larger
Is Its Value. Human society is asads
up of men and women whose Facets
are at various stages of development.
Some hardly get away from the
lteugh. Others get as far as to Urn
cutting of ths Facets—but never got
down to the polishing business, while
there are others whoss Facets show
out Into the world with marvelous
sparkle and wonder.
Ask yourself If your Facets look
brighter with each added day.
Your Talents, your Abilities, your
possible Deeds are your Facets. list
If they are not cut. evenly planed—
Polished, their Value, sk far as ths
world is concerned might as well not
exist. Do and Bs and "Hump Your-
self" if you want your Facets to leap
in Value aad your life to count. Also,
bear in mind that the best cut stone
is ths one that most clearly shows
forth the Inner Worth of the stone.
