TheTribune
And News
FRIDAY. FEB. 12. 1915
What's the uso of worrying
over the war the moving pic-
ture shows are still operating.
The Tribuno is indeed gratified
.at the manner in which our sub-
scribers are paying their due?.
This is a year in which dollars
are a little hard to get hold of,
buta a family can't hardly do
without the home paper. We
shall try our utmost to make the
paper worth a good deal more
than $1.00 a year.
From different parts of the
'country come stories of a swin-
dle successfully worked on farm-
ers who thought they were going
to get cheap groceries. Two
smooth strangers are going thro
communities taking orders for a
a northern house, pretending to
sell standard brands of sugar
and flour so cheaply that every
farmer visited took from $10 to
J$5Q worth, and other things be-
sides, Because of the low prices
quoted, the flour and sugar had
to be "paid in advance," It is
said that in one community alone
$3,000 waa procured and no
goods delivered.
1 A proposition is now before
'the legislators at Austin which
' suggests the separation of this
state into two commonwealths.
Gentlemen, two is not enough.
We have room enough for four,
aad a superfluity of political office-seekers
to fill every state
position with a lusty overflow.
.Texas needs no additional states,
but a few of the old-time states-
men might help clear the politi-
cal atmosphere. If the matter
comes to a vote, however, sif?ht
us to the cities suggested as the
capitols; to toe men who seek
the governorships, and then we
will .register either our vote or
our objection.

Question of the hour: Who
is the president of Mexico today?
Is it divine inspiration that per-
petuates a bloody war? Why is
it that good brain 8 are orJered
to stop cheap bullets? Why do
nurses begin to prepare bandages
every time they hear the nation-
al song? Why is it that men
should be slauehtered to gratify
a royal desire? Why should
mothers, wfces and babes be
compelled to suffer hunger or
distress becavs j of the inhuman
desire of man for the possession
of wealth, no matter how it is
acquired; for glory, honor and
praise? Either of the above
queries are easy of solution, If
you fail to solve them, address
any theologian or sociologist and
in case they fail to satisfy you,
address the Tribune office with
stamp enclosed for reply.
The affairs of an Ohio brew-
ery were put into the hands of a
receiver the other day. The
president of the company ex-
plained its predicament by say-
ing that the spread of prohibi-
tion had curtailed the demand
for its product. Meanwhile, if
we recall correctly the assurance
of recent statistics, the consump-
tion of whiskey has increased.
If this phenomenon a decrease
in the demand for beer and an
increase in the demand for whis-
keyis a consequence of the
spread of prohibition, then it
seems to us that some excuses
are forthcoming from our prohi-
bition champions. Either they
have accomplished too much, or
not enough, and there may be
another alternative. Ex.
The tailors who design the
fashions for the ladies with each
change of the moon have decreed
that wide skirts will now be fash-
ionable until the next full moon.
If the tailors will now decree
the old-time "hoop" with its ac-
companying "bustle" the wire
factories will double their forces
and the joys of man will be un-
limited and unconfined.

LOUIS
The Maa Who Dees.
Say, do you know the kind of
fellow who's just to the world's
mind? The kind the world can't
lose? The kind that folks en-
thuse oyer and take off their
hats to? Why, it's the man who
does.- He's the fellow. Not the
one whose grandpa got there;
not the fellow who would if he
could; pot the fellow who's, go-
ing to some day but the man
who does it now today. No
sitting around waiting about
him; no expecting something to
happen; no looking for some-
thing to turn up, No sir! He
calls. the turn and turns 'em; he
takes off his coat and doesn't
care if he starts a sweat; neither
does a policeman have to tell him
to move on. He keeps the pro-
cession humping to keep up with
him; he is hustle from his toes
to his head; he is not only in the
push, but does the most pushing.
That's why things come his way.
He oils the wheels that keep
progress spinning round. Ex.
Some wise gazook once re-
marked: "The world do move."
Quite so. Swiftlv backward.
Don't be afraid to do your
duty because some one ridicules
or opposes y( u. A man who has
opinions of his own and the cour
age to advocate them will be
sure to -have opposition in this
world, because he runs across or
contrary to other people's opin-
ions, but just keep right ahead
if your cause is right and your
conscience clear. Don't worry
about what other people say;
life is too short for that. Some
will abuse you through envy,
others through the want of prin-
ciple and some because they hon-
estly differ from you; but if you
keep right on openly, manfully
and intelligently, ind with a
proper dignity of character, hon-
esty of purpose and self-respect,
those who differ from you will
respect your opinions. Denison

CATTLE DISEASE (f
IS NOT SERIOUS
Washington, Feb. 8th. -While
the reappearance of the foot and
mouth disease in stock yards ot
nine cities admittedly is a set-
back against the plague, the
Department of Agriculture offi-
cials say that the new outbreak
did not present as grave a situa-
tion as the original infection,
because it has not attacked stock
held on farms.
In the opinion of the Federal
authorities, the renewal of the
plague emphasized the necessity
of adhering for some time longer
to the quarantine regulations
that prohibit the shipment of
any stock from the quarantined
area for any purpose except im-
mediate slaughter, and to pro-
hibit its shipment at all to points
in free area,
The government also holds
that cattle purchased for slaugh-
ter, and found to be infected
with foot and mouth disease
shall not be paid for, but may
be condemed under the federal
meat inspection law, like any
other condemned stock.

Resolutions of Respect.
Since our Heavenly Father
has seen fit to call to his eternal
homo the spirit of Dr. G. C.
Rankin, we, the members of the
Bartlett W.C.T.U., feel impelled
to give utterance to the follow-
ing resolntions:
1. That in the death of Dr.
Rankin we have lost one of our
staunehest and most fearless
heroes in our fight against the
saloon with its kindred evils.
2. We herewith resolve to
take up Dr. Rankin's slogan:
"On with the battle)" and will
never, while God gives us life,
cease to work and pray for pro-
hibition, until its soul destroying
influence has been banished from
the state, the nation and the face
of the earth.
3. We humbly petition our
Father to comfort those who are
mourning the death of Dr, Ran-
kin, and that many more may be
consecrattd to this just and
righteous cause.
4. Resolved, That a copy of
these resolutions be placed upon
our minutes, a copy sent to the
Christian Advocate, Home and
State, Dallas News and the
Bartlett Tribune.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. T. P. Robinson,
Mrs. John White,
Miss M, Wacher.

Unwritten Law Sustained
Georgetown, Feb. 9.- A grand
jury today freed D. P. Bell of
Goldthwaite, who was under
bond on a charge of murder four
weeks ago.
Bell came to Williamson coun-
ty, secured an automobile and
hunted Sidney Browning with a
double-barreled shotgun and shot
him to death. It was alleged
in the evidence that Brown had
ruined a daughter of Bell.
