apparently the McCune people did
have cause to desire relief. At the
board meeting, however, the entire
matter was fully gone over and the
opinion prevailed that the McCune
company should properly have re-
course on the plumbing company, but
that the board was not at interest in
the matter, except so tar ae to

PROUD OF HIS RECORD
, SAYS HE WAS BORN A THIEF
In a statement made to the police,
Walter Novak, twenty years old, ar-
rested with four co inflap Iona la Chi-
cago Tuesday, after they had fatally
wounded one policeman and
another, admitted to having
part in more than thirty robberies
in two months and boasted of his ca-
reer, saying: ”1 wm born a thief And
I’ve been a thief ever since; 1 sup-
pose I’ve committed 600 rottberics. I
don't care whether I go to thWgallowa
or riot. I started when I su nine
years old, stealing pennies from kids.
I have been put in all kinds of in-
stitutions to reform me, bnt they only

may decide to remove elsewhere,
though m yet be hM not announced
such Intention. We hope that he may
not and that he may decide to en
gage in some other line of business
here and tost Dublin may continue
to benefit by his good works. Mr.
Brite came from Pierce City, Mo.,
though directly to Dublin from the
city of Mexico, where he had gone on
a prospecting trip sixteen years ago
with an idea of locating In that re-
public or In California.
The new proprietor of the Brite
store, Mr. Denver ,ie also well known
in this locality as a Christian gent-
lemen of the highest order and as
careful business man who recognises
no other outoome but success in his
business ventures.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
WERE BADLY. DEFEATED
The three constitutional amend-
ments voted upon last Saturday
throughout Texas wm bo badly beat-
en that it is hardly worth while to
quote any figures. Suffice to say
throughout the state went from four
» to one against each of the
three amendments, with the-Univers-
ity amendment the worse defedted of
the tlu-ee. The vote in Dublin wss
some 36 for this amendment to some
156<A«kinst.
The Progress editor has no apolo-
gies to offer Mr favoring and voting
for all three of the amendments. In
fact the actual reault of the vote was
about ae we expected from the start,
except that we did not expect the ma-
jority of the vote cast to be so large
against toe amendments. It is assert-
ed by some In view of the small vote
throughout the state that had the
vote been larger the result might have
been different, at >:ast toe opposing
majority might have been less. The
Progress takes little stock In this
view, rather believing that the vote
cut was a fair sample of what

INFANTILE PARALYSIS PREY-
ALENTIN THIS COUNTY
A number of children In Dublin
have recently suffered light strokes
of infantile paralysis. In- some of
these cases one arm wm slightly af-

limbs. In toe latter case the child
would limp and stumble and fall at
the slightest effort to move about
fast or to pass over an uneven sur-
face. The .*as*s were usually pre-
ceded with a nes'-v fever and in two
