REPORT CARDS.
\ N.
The pupils of the various rooms
^received their report cards Wed-
nesday of this week. The report
is intended to be a monthly let-
ter to the parents from the teach
er. It contains a statement of
what the teacher thinks your
child is doing in school.
In some respects, you will like-
ly find a few of these cards real
low in grade, below C, or 75. If
so, the student is likely to fail in
the year’s work, unless a change
is made within the next three
months. *
Whose fault is it that the grade
is no higher? Is it yours or is it
the teacher’s? A little investi-
gation might rhean for your boy
n completion of his work here
and a course later in some good
university. Remove the hind-
rance and help us pull fora
greater success in school work.

H. BASCOM THOMAS
FOR CONGRESS.
J** Mr. Thomas is a native of Hop-
kins county, is about forty years
of age and is by nature strong,
persistent H and vigorous. His fa-
ther a minister, his mother an
ideal gentlewoman—their quali-
ties and graces having been trans
mitted to their son.
His younger years were passed
upon his father’s farm near Sul-
phur Springs and it became his
lot to “rough it” for several
years, about as the usual country
boy of similar circumstances.
Plowing, wrestling, hoeing, box-
ing, scrapping, hauling, now and
then, an occasional load of wood
to town, with fishing and the
neighborhood swimming hole as
a pastime for Saturday evenings,
he grew to the estate of man-
hood. Later he took a course at
old Central College, and leaving
this honored institution, h e
launched out upon life’s sea.
He became editor of the Sul-
phur Springs Gazette—and no
newspaper in this part of the
cou ntry was ever conducted with
keener and clearer blade. Sell-
ing the Gazette, he went into
business, and succeeded as a busi
ness man and to whatever trade
or calling he turned his hand he
was keenly alert in forensic or
political agitation. He has al-
ways been a democrat, and one
who has intensely believed in the
dominancy and supremacy of the
masses as against the classes of
his fellow citizens. Unyielding
in his devotion to [duty, open-
minded and ^obsequious, he has
endeavored to ^be fair and equa-
ble in those who oppose him.
For years, while in private life,
he cried out from hedges and
housetops against corruption in
public iife and rods of oppress-
ion.
Feeling he could serve his
country better, he was elected a

member of the State Senate.
# * * * *
Speaking one^ day to the ques-
tion of submission in tlie senate
chamber, without mincing words,
without flinching, without wrig-
gling, he called a spade by it-
real name, and intimated, if he
did not say as much, that all
i members claiming to be demo-
crats and refusing the peoples’
demands was guilty of treachery.
This casus belli, being argument-
ed by other clear-cut anathemas
against the lobby, finally ended
in his expulsion from the seaate.
Returning home, the Governor
proclaimed a special election for
the purpose of having his suc-
cessor chosen. Bascom became
a candidate, and an on-rushing,
ungovernable tide of public opin-
ion swept him on and on, back
through the very doors through
which he had made his exit in
the dark hour of his humilation.
In 1910 he became a candidate
for Lieutenant .Governor and
was declared by regnant authori-
ty, to have been defeated by
something over 1,400 votes, and
there are thousands upon top of
thousands of “people in Texas
who believe but for frauds and
irregularities Jin the election he
would have been declared the
nominee of his party. Coming
home from the convention, he
did not skulk, he did not become
acrimonious, but took up the
oven tenor of his wav, holding
himself ready for any immergen-
cy where the peoples’ cause was
(at stake. He entered the pro-
hibition contest due to culmi-
nate on the 22nd kof July, 1911,
and went far and wide, and with
might and main, without remu-
meration he contributed a .large
modicum toward the success of
the pros in North East Texas.
It has never been difficult to
get Bascom’s bearings w’hen
questions of morals or temper-
ance have been at issue, and if
he is elected to congress from
this district, the people may
sleep soundly, for they may be
assured “That the greatest good
to the greatest number’7 will be
the line of political Holy Writ
lying deepestain his heart.

THE ADVERTISERS.
To our desk there come from
seventy-five to one hundred ex-
changes each week. From tbfese
we can j udge very accurately the
life and prosperity of a town.
If the paper is full of good live
advertising, then that town is ac-
tive, people are spending their
money at home and the farmers
drive in from miles around to do
trading. If the advertisinging is
rather meager and the merchants
are afraid to let the people know
through the colums of the paper
what they charge for their goods
then is that town dead, the far-
mers and town citizens as well
are sending away their cash mon-
ey, while the merchants sit down
and kies because the people are
not loyal to them. People do
read advertisements, and no one
knows it better than do the mail
order houses. There is no way
to meet them but ^on their own
ground, if the cash ..expenditures
are to be made at home.—Bon-
ham News.
If people did not read adver-
tisements there would be no mail
order houses. If kthe mail order
men did not believe in advertis-
ing there w-ould be no mail order
men. So it is with local stores.
Those^whose owners do not ad-
vertise lead but ephemeral exist-
ences. Theyr are open today and
closed tomorrow. The great
mercantile establishments that
attract the bulk of the public’s
business and go on from genera-
tion to generation, constantly
building up and widening out,,
are those that keep the people
informed as to the merchandise
to be found upon their shelves
and counters. There are many
little retail stores that do not ad-
vertise in the newspapers, but no
large ones. An d the little ones
that don’t advertise are constant-
ly giving way to the big ones that
do. It is the inevitable trend.
The public wills it so. Aad the
public is the final arbiter.—Dal-
las NewTs.
