WHEN WILL IT CHANGE?
We are tempted to bead line it "The Slaughter of th*>
Innocents,” in describing the cruelly deplorable death 01
the little girl at Dallas last Saturday uigbt, but that u>
not the right spirit or just—even If it is the ninth violent
death in that city since New Year's day. We know many
people at Dallas personally and feel competent to size up
the city as a whole. The representative element of citi-
zenship there is dominant in Influence and control and
we fee! sure that men and women of that element deplore
the reign of violence and resultant fatalities just as earn
estly as would the same element in Waco or any other
Texas city. But we do doubt if in Dallas -or in Waco anu
other Texas cities there is the fearless and determined
public sentiment that ought to exist and be potential in
determination that the slaughter of people by men who
carry weapons and defy law and justice shall cease, or
ni least be gradually lessened. Do we ns a people hold
murderous violence in horror and come out and condemn
it as we should do? We fear not.
There is some excuse for apathy or lack of determina-
tion, and that is the popular distrust of our courts ns a
moans to proper dealing with the spirit of murder. Just
recently one man, in n Texas city, shot another man dead.
We heard this comment: "You say he can command
Plenty of money? Well that settles it. He will go free.
You can’t convict a man who can command plenty of
money—not in Texas, any way.” And the listeners acqui-
esced. And what is more the group of listeners—as welt
as the man who spoke the words—were intelligent law-
abiding. representative men and citizens. Who can won-
der at the words or the assent? Who must not feel regret
that such a spirit of distrust and despair should exist?
Men arraigned for murder and who have money do
xot buy judges. Jurors or witnesses. We do not believe
that. But they can hire lawyers who can point out the
loop holes the law leaves for the murderer's escape, and
(he law does have the loopholes. And thus we have vio-
lence and murder and society distrusts the courts and
despairs. Remedy is available and is jointed out, but not
utilized. Not Dallas alone, but all Texas may well say:
How long, oh Lord, how long?”—Waco Tribune.
The local cattlemen are planning for a big time at the
annual convention which meets in El Paso this month.
Llano never fails to send a full representation to these
conventions.
MILLINERY OPENING
/"I
While this is a good season for everything else, we
might remember that it 1* a fine time for working the
roads of Llano county, and like the streets in the town,
they surely need It.
The bright spring days tell us that the planting season
is here. Already many of the farmers are planting corn
tnd within a few more days thousands of acres will be
turned over to the corn field.

MRS. HEARD, MILLINER
Still the State law makers are hammering away in Aus
tin, accomplishing some good results we suppose, but n
seems most of their time is being devoted to what we
might term purely nothing.
With the Irrigation stopped on the head of the Llano
river and the lake cleaned out, we can expect the kino
of water we use to get in the good old days before the
war. The Mexican war we mean.
The Interstate Liguor bill, prohibiting the shipment of
intoxicating liquors Into dry states was passed over the
president's veto last week by a safe two-thirds majority
in both branches of congress. This was one of the most
imoprtant measures, which has been under consideration
during the present session.
With five candidates in the race for presidnet of Mexico
the average voters will never know one day where he 1b
going to stand the next. The war with ballots promises
to be almost as interesting as the fierce battle with bul-
lets in Mexico City only a few days ago. At any rate
conditions will continue lively in the old Republic across
the Rio Grande.
With two Texas men in the cabinet, we can rest assured
that the new president will at all times receive the most
thorough advice and council that American statesmen
can give. All President Wilson lacked in completing his
cabinet in the proper manner was placing Congressman
Bob Henry from the Waco district In as his Attorney
General.
RESOLUTIONS
Of the Daughters of Confederacy
un the Meath j( Mrs. Job: C. Oatn.au
who died at her home In Llano, Feb-
ruary 19, 1913.
While not a member of our Chap-
ter, she .was always an earnest sym-
pathize: and her daughters are ou-
faithful co-workers and to them and
her husband we take this method of
expressing our deepest sympathy.
Whereas our Heavenly Father has
seen fit in His wisdom and love to
take from our midst our friend and
neighbor.
Whereas in Mrs. Oatman were all
the attributes to make her beloved by
all who knew her; a gentle, devoted
mother, faithful wife and true friend
Patient and uncomplaining in her
long and faithful illness, resigned to
the will of the Master whether His
pathway lay through midnight shad-
ows or noonday effulgence, she stead-
ily maintained her Christian course
until the gates of the celestial city
swung open to receive her gentle
spirit home.
Therefore be it Resolved:
1. That we bow in humble submis-
sion to the infinite wisdom of God.
2. That though in her death a
great loss is sustained still we thank
our heavenly Father for her faithful
consecrated life, her Christian influ-
ence and her work which she so will-
ingly performed when among us.
3. That we convey our sympathy
to the bereaved husband and daught-
ers and commit them to the One who
alone can comfort them in their sor-.
(row. s
4. That a page in our minutes be !
dedicated to her memory and these |
resolutions be recorded therein.
5. That these resolutions be pub- j
lished in our county paper and a1
copy be sent to the sorrowing fam-
ilies.

THE CLEAN-UP SEASON IS HERE.
Spring time has come again. The season of the year
len every town in Texas should be given a thorough
Mining In every respect. In many of the Texas cities
d towns their mayors are issuing proclamations, set-
tg aside certain days, as "Clean up Days.'' Through this
sane the people are brought into closer touch with
e work and the importance it bears.
Llano should not be behind in this matter, hut should
one of the first towns to take up the work and make 1
ano one of the cleanest and best appearing towns in
e state.
We can all well remember what a few hours work did
one vear ago. and there is every reason why
The penitentiary system, viewing the matter in broad-
est light, seems to be the "Uoodo" of Governor Colquitt s
official life. The destructive firp at the Huntsville plant
is now matched by the disastrous blaze at Rusk—and
there are memories of other disasters. And yet, to be
just to him, it is the truth that Governor Colquitt has
sought earnestly to make the management and general
conduct of the penitentiaries of wise and creditable na-
ture. And we believe, too, that Ben Cabell, as chairman
of the Penitentiary Commission, has not failed In efforts
to co-operate with the executive to an end so desirable.
The situation that has developed is grave and unfortun-
ate. In considering it citizens should be deliberate and
fair-minded and not reach conclusions too hastily. The
earnest and honest efforts of the executive and the man-
agement call for sympathy and intelligent judgment
That Is our opinion now, at all events. It can be modi-
fied, but only on the basis of demonstrated facts show-
ing neglect of duty and incapacity.—Waco Tribune.

The Senate the other day struck out of the agricul
tural appropriation bill an item to pay for the free dis-
tribution of seeds by congressmen, and if this action
withstands the opposition of the house we shall see the
end of a practice that has come to be very properly call-
ed the “free seed graft.” Once this practice shall be
nbandoned. we are quite sure it will never be resumed,
for the reason that nothing can be said in defense of It.
It is probable that these seed have cost the country
more than what they produced was worth, and that, as
s measure of economy, it would have been better to buy
’ and distribute fruits of the seed rather than the seed.
Maybe congressmen have not harvested as many votes
' as is popularly supposed from the distribution of these
seed, but they have harvested more votes than the peo-
I pie to whom they have been given hav e harvested veget-
ables and crops from the planting of them. Most of \bem
jhave fallen Into the hands of the people who didn’t went j
: them, and who, If they had wanted them, were abundant-
jiy able to buy them One result was that the quantities!
1» was possible to send to those who might make good
use of them were too small to make the gifts of any val-
, u<!. The free distribution of seed has been merely a pet-
1 ty trick of the politician that wmewbet affronts the pop-
jular Intelligence.—Galveston Nrrs.
