them, and have the offices filled by
men who are either less able, or by
those wpo seek the office that they
may further their own nefarious arts
and wiles. The State of Texas does
not pay its officials a sufficient remun-
eration for their services. We have
always felt that this was true. The
PATRONIZE HOVE INDUSTRIES.
The Herald has had much to say in
nation for their services, or else lose times past afbout the duty of the citizen
not 'written as an advertisement. Nel-
governor is not paid enough. Neither
is any other public officer. If we are
to keep the right kind of men in office
we must compensate them as well as
private business institutions are wil-
ling to do. or else they will quit the
public service and who can blame
them? The Governor of Texas is en-
titled to a salary of $10,000 per year,
and by ail the "safe and sane reasons
imaginable, should have it. Some will
doubtless say that our ideas are extra-
vagant, but we will submit that it is
better to pay the higher price and get
the right kind of man able to fill the
office, than it is to pay less and elect
some cheap skate who is corruptible,
or who has an axe to grind. And the
same thing applies to the legislature.
The idea of asking men of any ability
to serve the state at the price paid
legislators is preposterous — abso-
lutely silly—and is itself an in-
centive to graft. A pure man of abil-
ity can hardly he induced to seek the
office at all, unless he has an axe to
grind, some hill he wishes passed, or
expects to use the office as a step-
ping stone to something 'better in a
political way. The other who seeks
the office expects something in return
for his time and services, and lie is
going to collect too much in the wrong
way if you do not watch him care-
fully. Texas is too grand a state to
ask her public servants to serve her
for the salaries she offers. Of this
there can tie no doubt. And soon it
will be impossible to get an aide man,
who is pure, to offer for a state office.
toward home industries, and we desire
to call attention Jo same again, for
along this line too much cannot be
said. In this way only can a town,
county or state be built up.
Every dollar spent with the home
enterprise remains at home, and
ther oF the ooncerns mentioned know
anything ^bont what we are doing
along this line. -/ It is written because
the writer realizes the importance of
the patronizing of -home institutions
to any town, and would urge the home
people to put^the theory into practice.
Along the same line, we would also
suggest that the Herald Publishing
helps to (fund up home enterprise, „

while when it is sent away from home | \ 1
. , i plete printing plant ip this city, in

. ii „ ........ iwhich any one can get anything from
and usually goes toward the upbuild-] j .
iug of some other community.
........................................
For instance: We have in our
midst a number of home enterprises i
which deserve the patronage of the
people of this town and county. Take
the Weatherford Broom Factory. This
institution turns out a good article. If
every housewife in the town or coun-
ty who uses a broom, and most of
them do, would call for the “Made in
Weatherford" article, every time they
were forced to buy a new broom, soon
the proprietor, Mr. Barnes, would be
enabled to enlarge his 'business and
employ other men to carry on the
work, men who would make their home
here, and who would buy other “Wea-
therford made” goods, and so an end-
less chain would be established, if we
would only pay some attention to these
things. The next time you go to buy
a broom, tell your grocer you want
the “Made in Weatherford” kind-
And this refers to the product of the
Crystal Palace Folur Mill, the local ice
plant, and every other product made
in Weatherford. It is your duty inso-
far as possible, to buy only the home
made article.
This article is not inspired and is
a card to a two-page circular, or a
large folder, pamphlet or l>ook print-
ed, and that it is altogether unneces-
sary to go out of town for printing.
But some do it. We feel that we de-
serve the patronage of the people of
Weatherford for we labqr constantly
in their interest, and if occasion re-
quires, we are always willing to scrap
their scraps. By all the laws of reas-
oning, the home institution is entitled
to the patronage of the people among
whom it is located, because the major
iwrtion of that which is spent with it
reverts hack to the local channels of
trade.

I)U NOT PUNISH THE INNOCENT.
There are many pathetic tilings in
the world, but none of them appeal
so strongly as the wife and children
of a convict, in want, and penury,
struggling to earn enough to keep
from starving and freezing. The con-
vict, deprived of his liberty, the most
priceless thing in all the world. Is
punished enough without extending
the punishment to his Innocent little

law. hut whom the law oppresses and
deprives of support. We are plead-

can earn more than $0 a month to,

for Ills time, in octets an hour for ov-

THE LOWEST FARM VALUE OF THE TEXAS COTTON CROP
DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS WAS $144,000,000.
Cotton has ever sought diligently the friendship of man and
by the stability of the market, the endurance of the fibre and
the many uses of the product, it has won the heart of mankind,
until today it meets him at the cradle, is his closest companion
through life and goes with him to the grave. It is the Rock
of Gibraltar of products. It is the most reliable of staple crops. ,
The Texas Welfare Commission is investigating the cotton
industry. W. T. Loudermilk of DeLeon is chairman of the sub-
committee on the Production of and Methods for Marketing Cot-
ton. 0. E. Dunlap of Waxahachie is chairman of the committfee on

do this, but nevertheless it should be
done. In many counties we are paying
county treasurers from $600 to $1800
and more per annum for doing a work
which could be easily handled for $25
per mouth, and in one county, that of
Fannin, the treasurer, who is a crip-
ple, has the work of the office done
for $10 per month, while he draws the
salary.

should be conducted as such. What

ing $100,000 or more per year that

We say it is not an expense, but a
wise investment, the bltory of those
counties having such an official, show-
ing the affairs of the county in much
better financial condition than when
the office was created, and that said
official has Iieen enabled to save the
county much more than the expense
of maintaining the office.
The Herald takes the position that
the salary of the treasurer la all coun-
ties should be cut, and dhe office of
audKor created, the law being so
amended as to permit this, at the same
time leaving it optional with the peo-
ple or commissioners of each county
as to whether or not the offices shall
iie combined, or as to whether the of-
fice of treasurer shall be abolished and
that of auditor created instead.
