Civic League Meeting.
The board of directors of the
Lampasas Civic League met at
the Library Hall Wednesday aft-
ernoon at 4 o’clock. Mrs. B. C.
Greenwood, president, in the
chair. On account of the inclem-
ent weather the attendance was
not large. Mrs. S. J. Smith made
a report on the library park. A
number of minor matters were
referred to but the matter of
most importance was the lighting
of the park. The Twentieth Cen-
tury Club assumed the responsi-
bility of paying for the light sev-
eral months since and has dis-
charged this duty up to the pres-
ent time. Since their meetings
have been discontinued for the
summer, this expense will fall
upon the Civic League again,
and it was urged that the city
should pay for this light. Mrs.
Skinner who had been appointed
a committee of one to request the
city council to have trash remov-
ed from private premises, report-
ed the refusal of the council to
take action.
Mrs. Ed Parker and Miss Be-
atrice Guerrero, of the Catholic
church, and Miss Mattie Labbaite
of the Methodist church, were
added to the board to supply
vacancies. Mrs. Skinner and
Miss Lallage Hughs were ap-
pointed a committee to collect
delinquent dues.
The matter of private drinking
cups at the city school and other
public places was discussed. It
developed in the discussion that
the cistern at the city school had
not been cleaned out for five
years. It was urged that steps
be taken to keep people off the
grass at the park. It was stated
that application had been made
for the use of the Library build-
ing for a moving picture show.
The board was unanimous in re-
quiring the lessee to put on a
high class of pictures, such as
would not only appeal to refined
tastes but be educational. The
matter of an entertainment for
the purpose of raising funds was
discussed and it was decided to
hold one in the near future, but
plans were not matured.
The ladies who compose the
board say that they have ac-
complished something and hope
to accomplish much more in the
matter of improving the appear-
ance of the town as well as sani-
tary conditions. They have made
a study of civics which has be-
come such a broad and compre-
hensive term that it cannot be and thy neighbor to swear when
discussed in a brief newspaper passing over, fill thou it with a
article, but it may>e embraced few spadefuls of dirt. Thy neigh-

orphans sent out from that home drajn ditches along thy farm, go

sion that they are entitled to the 0 tby neighbor’s son, that good
co-operation and assistance of , roads are never a ha,PPen-so, nor

men of the town and of the city a single night; but that they are
authorities. A campaign of edu- a natural result of mortal man’s
cation in civics is much needed ^ untiring efforts. And remember
and it would appear useless to thou these points:
undertake much in the matter of
improving conditions here untill
a sentiment is created in favor of !
the work in which these noble
ladies are engaged. We have the
Cemetery Association to care for
the resting place of our dead and
the people contribute toward it
liberally. Shall we give less care
to the living?
Open ditches at each side of
the road will perfect the drain-
age. The drag will smooth and
work the dirt to the center of the
roadbed. Sun, wind and travel
will aid in completing the re-
quirements by drying and pack-
ing the earth in place.
See that all these conditions
exist wherever the road touches
thy farm, and the traveling pub-

nothing discourage thee.
II. Tack thou a board over
those treacherous holes in bridges
and thereby save the bones of
both thine and thy neighbors’
valuable horses.
III. Thou shalt trim out all
brush and hedgerows bordering
the roads, that the sun and the
wind of thy Creator may keep
thine highway dry, and that
passers-by may not be suffocat-
ed untq death.
IV. The noble drag being thy
handiest and most efficient weap-
on, thou shalt wield it twice a
week at the very least. Blessed
is the man who useth the drag
for his fellowman’s sake.
V. Thou shalt open all drain-
ditches at the side of the road
bordering thy farm, lest the wa-
ter collect in low places and form
a mire in which thou or thy
neighbor may get “stuck,”
whereupon the recording angel
listeneth with great pity to wick-
ed words and snapping of the
whip.
VI. Toss thou those aggravat-
ing and damaging stones from
the track of thine highway; for
thou grittest thy teeth in anger
and thinkest wicked sayings
when thy vehicle striketh them.
And they do knock the “stuff-
ing” right out of thy buggy and
wagon wheels. Likewise do they
trouble and injure thy noble
horses.
VII. If thy neighbor be a I
shirker and doeth not his fall
share of improving the roads, let
not this put a damper on thine
enthusiasm, but rather set a
good example and show by thy
works that thou art truly an
honest “booster” and not a hang-
er-on. Then shall thy neighbor
blush with shame and feel con-
strained to follow thy shining
example. The Man—No, I don’t suppose I

The Helm committee of the
Illinois Senate seems to be stir-
ring up matters at Springfield.
The daily papers are publishing
some important revelations and it
is highly probable that -the fact
will be established beyond ques-
tion, that Lorimer was elected to
the United States Senate by thd
use of a slush fund. The Illinois
Senate has ordered warrants is-
sued for the arrest of Edward
Tilden, a Chicago packer, and
Geo. M. Benedict and William C.
Cummings, Chicago bankers,
who will be brought before the
bar of the Senate forthwith to
answer whether or not they will
give the testimony and produce
the papers and records desired
by the investigating committee in
their search for the fountain head
of the $100,000 Lorimer corrup-
tion fund. Walter Clyde Jones
of Hyde Park, flour leader of the
Senate, declares that the Lorimer.
case was as great as the Dreyfus
case in France, so far as the ex-
tent of public interest is concern-
ed.
