FAVOK BOND ISSUE
Petitions have been circulated
in the McGregor precinct for
signers for the road bond issue.
The committees in making the
rounds have found very few op-
Ilosing the issue. Whenever the
bond issue is properly under-
stood it is always approved. The
movement for good roads in
Texas at present is statewide.
The most progressive portions of
the state are now voting or pre-
paring to vote on the matter.
With a very smart additional tax
the people are enabled to build
first-class highways. There is
no reason or excuse for opposing

advancement.—The McGregor

The Palestine Herald thinks
that “when a newspaper reaches
the point where it is afraid to
speak its own mind and is ready
to eat out of some one’s hand it
ceases to be of value.” And a
paper without a well ..defined
policy is unquestionably in this
class.
The theory that the man who
disagrees with you-is a fool and
that the one who votes against
you is a scoundrel may be all
wrong but it is going to take

A certain degree of unpopu-
