TOWN AND Cin PLANNING
It heglns to look like’ the railroad
strike Is going to lake place. It will
lie one of the greatest ealumltles the
United States has ever known, and
should tie avoided. If 400,000 men
walk away from tlielr Jobs and all
traus|«irtatlnn la stopinsl there wl’l
lie much suffering. It would lie well
for all people who are awny from
home to Ik* getting in. or they may
have to walk or use a jitney.

Glenn .1. Harlow of McKinney has
been nominated hy the republicans as
a candidate for congress. Here Is
what the McKinney Daily Courier-
Gazette, Mr. Barlow’s home pajier, has
to say about him: “Col. Glenn J. Har-
low. big Collin County Republican, big
laud owner, and a clever man, was
nominated liy the Republican conven-
tion assembled In this district last
Saturday for congressman from the
Fourth district, to run agulnst Con-
gressman Sam Rayburn. Mr. Harlow
has plenty of the “filthy lucre,” which
makes the mare run fust, and he will
make an dative campaign for this well-
paying and high office. He Is well-
llked In this county and will poll the
full republican strength, which is
about 25 iter cent of the regular vote
of the entire district."

was paid In most of the towns of Tex-
in resiionse to an Inquiry made by
the county attorney of Johnson coun-
ty, Attorney General Ben F. Looney
iwlnts out that under the law sheriffs
of Texas may appoint o#ly three dep-
uty sheriffs in precincts where there
is a county seat and one in other pre-
cincts, aud can appoint none
to whom the county judge
does not approve, and any in e
cess of the number mentioned have no
right to carry pistols. The request
for the ruling grew out of the threat
eued railroad strike. The sheriff of
Johnson county gave twenty men com-
missions as deputies. They were ap-
pointed to guard the Manta Fe rail
road property at Cleburne and are to
he paid by the railroad company.
Many had characters who do not now
have a job and who do not want n job
will take advantage of the situation
caused hy the strike and give much
trouble. The railroad people have
passed resolutions to the effect that
no brotherhood men will engage in any
rough stuff, hut there will he plenty
of others to start this sort of busi-
The people of Sherman can take to
themselves the lesson that was in-
tended for 111*- people of Madison.
VVIs. From the following hy John
Nolen. Inmlscn|ip architect, who said:
■Madison, like other cities should
aim not at a scries of detached or
Isolated parks, each separate from the
other, lull at a park system. Just
as the city has a school system, a
connected street system aud a water
system, so It should have a park sys-
tem. Such a system should provide
for each section of the city, for each
class of iMipulatiun. for each proper
hut varying iaste. Last Madison, for
example, needs parks as much as
south Madison or any other section
Children amt youug people and the
working classes should he much more
fully provided for. Then convenient
aud agreeable parkway connections
should Is- made, not merely ordinary
streets taken and marked boulevards.
That action of itself renders them
not a whit more attractive. If they
are to serve the newer and larger
demands on them, these streets must
Is- freed from nuisances, properly
planted with g<ssl trees, and In some
east's widened. Before, it is too late.
Mudiseu's measure for parks should
lie taken. Comparison would lie made
with the |Mirk systems of such pro-
gressive cities as Hartford. Kansas
City, Brookline, Harrisburg and Okla-
homa City. It should he asked what
are Iho present park requirements m
Madison? , Wlmt will the future re-
quirements he? These questions need
to la? 'seriously put and the answers
to them attempted. At the present
rale of Increase, according to the
oplnioh of an expert engineer, Madi-
son. In 1925 will have a population
of 50,009. and in 1040. hut thirty
years from now. 190,000. If these
figures should prove true aud they
are likely to lie exceeded—how many
acres of parks would this larger
Madison require and justify? Certain-
ly the present acreage must lie in-
creased many fold. Where is unplitt-
ted, unimproved and Inexpensive

HOW NOT TO GET THAT JOB.
The need for an extension of the
Gray's Hill street ear line to Shertnan
Hospital is more apparent every (luy.
This matter should lie taken up hy tlm
city and the Texas Traction company
should he asked to make this exten-
sion.
Editor Henry Ellis of the Denison
Herald Is disconsolate. Some one has
stolen his office Bible. This is not
saying that Editor Ellis needs tha
Good Hook any more than any one

it aud read it.
• It seems that South Carolina Is to
have four more years of Cole I*
Hlease. us he Is leading the other can-
didates for governor of that slate by
a safe plurality- Hut if the people of"
South Carolina want Cole Hlease that
is their business.
Sherman business men should take
note of Fire Chief George Hamblen's
suggestion to clean up tlielr hack
yards and get alt of the boxes aud
other trash out of the way. A gen-
eral movement of this sort will keep
down fire insurance rates. —
Now that Commencement Day has
come and gone and Labor Day looms
(in the horizon, a lot of guod-as-new
college graduates are reflecting more
or less cheerfully that they will have
to Ht-glii. They will have to prove
tlidr worth, A horrible example of
l ow not to do it is afforded by this
one sentence from a genuine applica-
tion for a real job In a living railroad
president's office, as reported hy one
of the technical journals:
A competent and qualified sten-
ographer, experienced in charting
statistics, possessed of the taci-
turnity ami discretion necessary
to association with executives,
broadly read on matters germane
to railroad operation, a student
of unity aud clearness in compo-
sition, with an acquisition of that
uncommon knowledge of Eugllsh
--Including the study of word
differentiations—essential to the
highest grade stenographic work,
an omnivorous though active
reader with a vocabulary suffic-
iently large to meet the. require-
ments of both your vocative and
evocative correspondence. I am
fitted to give such service as
would be demanded hy one in your
CfipflOit}'.
Our polysyllabic frleml did not get
the place. Probably the railroad peo-
ple were afraid that his “sufficiently
largo” vocabulary would have to be
sent by freight whenever the president
went on a trip. Moral: However it
is ljt college, If you want something In
business, don't talk yourself out of it.
—Collier's Weekly.
From flic state capital comes the in-
formation that Gov. Ferguson will rec-
ommend to the next legislature the
creation of a state highway commis-
sion. The need of such a body 1ms
long been recognized, hut as nothing
had developed until recently to make
the need so apparent as in take class
us a necessity, no action has been taken
toward writing it among tlie laws of
flic state, hut now that it has been
decreed that no state shall he eligible
to participate In the #75.000,000 appro-
priated by the federal government for
good roads, unless that state has a
highway commission, It lieeomes ob-
vious that now is the time to call Into
existence such a body.
Despite the fact that Texas has had
no road commission remarkable pro-
gress has I it-ell made in the construc-
tion of good roads during the past de-
cade, Almost every county in the
stute lias recognized the necessity for
having better roads and millions of dol-
lars have been spent In bringing these
highways into existence: hut we have
only touched the outer rim of the prop-
osition ; there is a present need for ad-
ditional roads, ami at the rate the
state Is growing in population aud com-
mercial Importance, there will Is- a de-
mand for better hauling and traveling
facilities for many years yet to come.
To properly look after this matter,
Texas needs a highway commission.
This slate will participate In the dis-
tribution of the #75,000,000 from the
United State treasury to the extent
of #3,000,000; that Is to say that for
every dollar put Into good roads by
this state during the next five years
the national government will invest
,. like amount There are some other
conditions; all roads exiiecttng to par-
ticipate in this appropriation im,st be

tenance must henceforth !>e borne by

retary of agriculture, and obtain his
approval before any of the money
will He available: a limit of #10,000
per mile is made a maximum epst, and
while the roads are not required io be
“permanent” they must he substantial

In giving notice of his intention to
bring the matter of a highway commis-
sion to the attention of the next leg-
islature. the governor has taken the
first step In a most desirable cause.

Up to midnight August 15, a period of lx/z
months, we sold and delivered more United States
Automobile Tires than we sold during the entire
twelve months of 1915—last year.
By August 16, we had passed, by several thousand casings* the sales total
for 1515,—itself a year of steady sales increases.
^knd day by day these phenomenal 1916 increases are heaping up.
Besides—'there were still left of this year 115 selling days—4'/a months.
This almost unbelievable feat of equalling, in'71/* months, the sales record
of last year, proves the unequalled merit and actual economy of

THE MULE WALKING CONTEST.
A man who knows stated to a Mir-
ror representative today that \V. \Y.
Porter had a team of mules, a gray
and a black, that conul walk away
from the YV. R. Kiiumoiis team with
such ease that It would lie a shame
to take tin' money offered as premium.
They do even better when hitched to
a big load. They set-in to fairly enjoy
(lie simrt of walking with a big loud.
He said it would do a man good to
sec them go down the road keeping
time with the flop of their big ears,
Imt they ui^t look quick or limy will
not get to ™v them paxs.—Hillaboro
Mirror.
This reminds us that we ought to
have a mule walking contest nt the
Bell County Fair. There must lie
some teams in this county that can
walk fast enough lo class as radars.
