BUYING BREWERY STOCK
We understand that there is
among certain classes-'of people who
either think themselves ‘‘investors,”
or who want to make some “easy
money,” a wild orgy of buying brew-
ery stock. First, let us say that pro- nucleus of
hibition hasn’t been repealed — not
yet. Second, you had better consult
some old hard-headed banker before
you part with your, money in a
scheme of this. kind. You can always
emerge.
Americans are coming more and
more to despise pussyfooting sol-
diere—and within the next few
years, .while this battle is being re-
shaped and re-fought, the pussjrfoot-
ers and fence-riders will go down
and disappear from the picture.
Past history confirms and will con-
firm this prediction. :n
IS THE BATTLE LOST—OR
MERELY WAVERING?
K
John Garner wants the Eighteenth
Amendment submitted for repeal,
hut not'submitted to a vote of the
people, nor even to the legislatures
of the various States, as has always
been done heretofore. He wants con-
ventions now to ratify repeal. If he
has his way, doubtless he will want
Boss Maury Hughes to have the
management of the conventions in
Texas. The rest of the people are
not qualified to do the work right.
Of course, Jim Ferguson will be
needed to help Maury “keep regu-
lar.” They are two of the staunchest
“regulars” there are. , Both have
learned how to be regular by bolt-
ing the party and bolting instruc-
tions.—Bonham Daily Favorite.
Sometimes in the conflicts of car-
nage and bloodshed, where empires
ace the stakes and where human be-
ings of flesh and blood are the mere
cannon fodder, the battle wavers.
Sometimes the battle is quickly de-
cisive. Such a time, it now appears
to us, confronts the prohibitionists
of this country. They may lose the
battle—if they win it would seem
at this particular juncture that they
will do so aa by a miracle.
But men and women throughout
the ages have been sustained by the
thought so happily poetized by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, that no question is
ever settled till it is settled right.
It may be that the whole issue of
prohibition, not alone in the Nation
but in every state and smaller sub-
division, will have to be fought all
over again. Personally we were not
a “Nation-widec” back when prohi-
bition was incorporated jnto the
national constitution — and it took
the force of practical results to con-
vert us back twenty-five years ago
p- from the .position of local-optionist
to that of a State-wider. However,
when the national-prohibition amend-
ment was submitted as prescribed by
the national constitution—and when
« that amendment was ratified so
quickly by all of the states of the
Union except two—then we became
a nation-wider to this extent: Na-
tional prohibition became a funda-
mental law, and it .was recognized
and sought to be enforced as such
by statutes duly passed by Con-
gress. We recognized all other
amendments to the Federal Consti-
tion and the laws passed under suchf ejaiiam
amendments—then why should we
not recognize, and as a people strive
to enforce, the 18th Amendment and
laws enacted in pursuance there-
S0CIALI8M AND “CAPITALISM”
Writing in the Daily Maroon,
student newspaper of the University
of Chicago, Norman Thomas,' soci-
alist candidate for the presidency,
said to the students:
No political op economic theory of-
fers you automatic salvation. But so-
cialism offers to you the only hope
of controlling machinery for life and
not death.
' Th® one certain thing about the
future of our society is the plain
fact that capitalism as we have
known it here -in America is doom-
ed. I do not venture to predict the
exact time when historians will date
its final collapse.
I do affirm that no order of soci-
ety which, equipped with all the
means to give us abundance (to con-
quer poverty and to banish econom-
ic insecurity, which has instead given
us 13,000,000 unemployed, a host of
boys of 15 years of age, and up-
ward, no fewer than 200,000 in
number, who roam the roads of J
America, live in hobo jungles and
sometimes in jails because (hey have
no homes at all—that civilization, T
say, is doomed. *
We know of nothing in the record
of socialism to justify such supreme
faith in * its efficacy. Its record is
that of criticism more than con'
struction. Yet this system called

biographies of this Nazarene whose
name we cpll Jesus. Suppose that in
preparation for that celebration we
read the life-story of this character
by the scholarly Dr. Luke. There
are several other excellent life-stor-
ies of this man Jesus—Matthew,
Mark and John—and also that emi-
nent evangelist and writer, Paul,
presents a mighty interesting pic-
ture of the man. But Dr. Luke, we
think, tells the one story of the life
of this man Jesus that will serve
best for reading just at the Christ-
mas period cgmen^on. Dust off’ your
Bible tonight—and read the story.

and gloated over how ' they had,
through some unknown or irrespon-
sible stock broker, “trimmed Wall

several months’ salary—made jt in
paper profits? Do you remember
that?
Well, our idea is that y*ou, are not

Away back before the election,
but when the campaign had pro-
gressed far enough to indicate that
Roosevelt and Garner would win, we
thought of a certain very prominent
Texas whom we wanted to see in the
Cabinet .of the new administration.
But we suspect that (to speak
frankly and honestly) that Texas
will be deemed to have her share of
the honors by virtue of the fact
that the State has Garner as Vice
President. Texas has plenty of men
able enough to form the entire Cab-
inet—if that were necessary or ex-
pedient. But We must content our-
selves to see the ■ honors, passed
around to other states—and possibly
to see at least one cabinet post as-
signed to some one of the insurg-
ents, “the hateful independents,”
who Kave hitherto consorted with
the other major party; for had not
these men had the hardihood to quit
the Republican party, it is certain
that the Democrats could not have
won. B^it there’s a doctrine, partic-
ularly in the South—and we say a
very erroneous doctrine—that is is
treason to change your political
party affiliations, or not to vote aa
party masters dictate. It is a pernic-
ious doctrine—arid had the Republi-
cans hitherto not held to^it so rig-
idly Iheir defeat this year might
not have been so overwhelming. :p
The quail season opened in this
part; .of Texas on Dec. 1 — and the
ammunition dealers are disposing of
their stock. It requires on an aver-
age several shells to fetch in a bird.
But the main thought is this: Don’t
you Niiprods so dispose of your
ammunition that some farmer will
come into town red-hot and say
“Some durn city hunter killed the
only cow I had and filled the hide
of my only work horse so full of
bird-shot that the brute can’t
move.” It happens that way every
year-several times in- every East
Texas county. :p

SPOILS TO THE VICTORS
system
“capitalism” must find better ways
of justifying itself than by merely
denouncing socialism. Whatever it
is that jhas caused the world-wide
woe of the last three years, unem-
ployment of millions, able and anx-
ious to work, and controls society
and industry while similar conditions
recut periodically—whatever that is
needs something done to it. Our be-
lief' so often expressed is that the
basic cause of the world’s misery is
just plain human selfishness, greed
for power and money. Now, do We
find human greed commoner under
one system than another, or easier
to control under one than under an-
other?
• The one effectual answer our so-
called system of “capitalism” can
make to socialism is to establish and
maintain conditions under which the
masses can live so comfortably that
they won’t want to shift to any oth-
er system. They do not now, appar-
ently. But simply railing against so
or communism won’t do.

There is no assault which socialism
or communism can make on capital-
ism half so disastrous as assaults
which capitalism can make upon it-
self.
The systems of government and
economy which have been followed
in the United States have proved, we
think, their superiority. Yet it is
possible to make these systems fail
to do their best by letting greed and
avarice control them. The system of
government conceived and developed

(From The Dallas Morning News)
Spoils to the victors and woes to
the conquered are principles that
have been used in war from time
immemorial. Politics is war and the
members of the State Democratic
Executive Committee will follow a
time-honored policy if they decide to
permit offices in Texas to be held
only by regular Democrats, who vote
straight at every election. This of
course bars from office those who
occasionally cut party tickets and
discard party collars. Honors go to
the winners and ostracism to those
who can not conscientiously take
“the oath of allegiance” and ghe
strict obedience to party orders.
Naturally, under the circum-
stances, many of the "irregulars”
will hasten to make their peace with
the powers ^hat be by taking their
punishment ’without protest and
promising in the future “to be
good." These, when restored for fa-
vor, will out-regular the regulars
and may even throw away the keys
to the party collars that will hence-
forth adorn the it necks.
There will always be others, how-
ever, like the Gallic chieftain told
of by Caesar, how preferred death
to servitude, saying that he had liv-
ed a free man and would die -free.
The large Democratic and anti-Fer-
guson vote cast for Bullington at
the last election seems to indicate
that there are many Democrats in
Texas who prefer a reasonable de-
gree of freedom in their party re-
lations. Many of these, perhaps
may feel inclined to organize with-
in the party a liberal wing in oppo-
sition to the stand-pat faction now
in control.
It really would be a good thing,
for Texas if' the party organization
had a stiff opposition, forming its
own platform and advancing its own
candidates for office. A dominant
party in -a one-party State tends to
become supine and indifferent to
public interests. It is In and there is
no Out. Texas is large enough, with
its many diverse interests, to justi-
fy a vigorous contest between the
Ins and the Outs, each with differ-
ing platforms,
