' 100 Years Hence
You often heanthis said: “Oh, what’s the difference? One
hundred years from now things will be much the same for
all of us ’’
All right. Admit it. By that time we will all surely be
out of the running. But how about 10 years from now? Or
20 years from now? Then what? Well, at that time the
person who is saving, and carefully deposits and invests his
money, will be on “Easy Street,’’ that’s all. We can’t well
look forward a hundred years, but the shorter period de-
mands the attention of all thoughtful persons.

Dallas Scottish Rite
Reunion Dates May 15-19.
Dallas, Texas, May 1. —Scottish
Rite Masons of the Valley of Dal-
las will hold their Spring Re-
union in this city May 15 to 19,
inclusive. The committee re-
ports over 500 new petitions re-
ceived, and with the holdovers
from the last reunion prospects
are good for a large class.
The Dallas Scottish Rite bodies
are exceedingly anxious for every
Blue Lodge Mason who can pos-
sibly do so register for the May
Reunion and help make the class
one of the largest in the history
of the Dallas Scottish Rite or-
ganization A letter to J. L.
Stephens, secretary, Scottish Rite
Cathedral, Dallas, Texas, will
bring to every applicant a blank
petition to be filled out and re-
turned to the secretary. Half of
the fees derived from the Re-
union degrees go into the Scot-
tish Rite educational fund for the
building of the dormitories at the
University of Texas and other
educational projects in Texas.
The sum of $700,000 is being
spent on the building at the Uni-
versity.
The class committee is work-
ing daily. “The degrees are a
part of Freemasonry and are
priceless,’’ said Walter C. Tem-
ple, chairman of the committee,
“and every Mason in Texas
should be proud to participate in
a small way in the building of
the Masonic dormitories and aid
in the many educational projects
sponsored by the Scottish Rite
bodies.”
Mr. Temple is a member of the
Scottish Rite Educational Board
of Texas. Sam P. Cochran, 33rd
degree, and inspector general of
Scottish Rite Masons of Texas, is
president of the board and also a
member 6f the University Board
of Regents.
Evils of Constipation.
Perhaps the, most serious of
the diseases caused by constipa-
j tion is appendicitis. If you would
avoid this dangerous disease,
keep your bowels regular. For
this purpose Chamberlain’s Tab-
lets are excellent, easy to take
and mild and gentle in effect.

What’s the Matter With
America?
Lastly and perhaps the most
serious thing the matter with
America is the small value we
place on religion and religious,
education.
The average American church
has apparently lost its power to
make disciples of the nations
We too often go to church, not to
bring someone' with us we have
led to Christ during the week,
but to hear the minister preach
or the choir sing.
So many churches have become
a one-man institution in many
ways. They expect one man to
be a preacher, a money-raiser, a
mixer, a financier, a pulpit ora-
tor, a good dresser, a wondrous
student of human nature, a re-
former, an expert on public
questions, an educator, a family
caller, and a favorite with young
people. He must possess an un-
limited amount of personal piety
and tact, and above all he must
fill the church with new and
well-to-do members or he is con-
sidered a failure.
If the minister and the Lord
could bount on you and me fifty-
two weeks in the year to stand
four-square for what we know to
be right the world would be con-
vinced that we have something
it needs and a great ingathering
of souls would not be difficult.
Perhaps the most astounding
comment on the fact that Ameri-
ca does not rightly appreciate her
religious education is found in
the meager support given by our
best people to the Sunday school.
Many a father takes, often
without so much as thanks, and
often with criticism of some little
defect, the choice gift of the
Sunday school’s religious train-
ing for his children which may
spell the difference between
eternal defeat aptUyictory.
Would anyone wno loves Amer-
ica dare say that there is nothing
the matter when materialism
outweighs religion?
“We are in the Biggest Busi-
ness in the World.” Can the
Lord count on you and me or will
we fail Him?
There were 208 present at the
Methodist Sunday school—9:45 is
the hour.
“Don’t bother ’bout the latest style,
Be good and wear a cheery smile,
And if your clothes seem old or new
They won’t discount the worth of you. ”
Don’t let the devil cheat you
out of Sunday school attendance
because you don’t happen to have
good clothes. What you really
are depends solely on what’s on
the inside—so come on.
Roy G. Robinson, Supt.
Prominent Lawyer of Bonham
, Is Dead.
Bonham, Texas, April 29.—
John Wesley Gross, aged 54,
died suddenly at his home on
West Fourth street at 7:30 o’clock
last night following a stroke of
apoplexy. He was formerly as-
sistant county attorney and one
of the best known lawyers in
Fannin county. He is survived
by his wife, four sons and one
daughter: Olvin, Prentice, Thel-
ma. Thomas Earl and Barney
Jean Gross. He has two broth-
ers and two sisters living, T. H.
Gross and Mrs. S. J. Allen of
Honey Grove; W. H. Gross and
Mrs. Bettie Montague of Mineral
Wells.
Whooping Cough.
/This is a very dangerous dis-
ease, particularly to children

no paregoric, codeine or other
stimulant is given, is easily cured

The Gtet of the Strike Trouble
The business of striking seems
to grow in strength and favor
with every year.
Almost every strike is for just
one thing—more wages. The
laborers have discovered that
there is just one way which is
surest to get more wages, and
that way is the strike.
Strikes do not fail, as #*ole.
On the contrary, and in the long
run, they succeed.
We have only to carry the
strike idea, however, to its logi-
cal conclusion to discover that it
has in itself the seed of destruc-
tion, and that it contains that
same spirit of tyranny and class
privilege which is the most an-
cient enemy of democracy.
It may be true that the worker
needs a larger share of the prof-
its, and also that the strike is
the only means by which he can
secure this.
But if that is to continue to be
true it means that the only way
in which men can get justice
under our free institutions ia to
form some kind of private<^rgan-
ization which shall hold a pistol
at the head of government
It means that government has
collapsed and can no longer se-
cure justice for its subjects.
It means that democracy is
played out.
It means that we must go back
to the system of a former age
and each class organize itself into
a hostile band and fight every
other class, to see which shall
get the most of the spoils.
It makes no difference who is
to blame. It may be the capital-
ist. It may be our capitalistic
system. It may be the labor agi-
tator. But the question that
presents itself to the law-abiding
citizen is not who is to blame,
but how are we going' to sjSop a
condition of things^th^f^ope^o
land us in anarchy, sure to create
a fruitful field for the germs of
mad bolshevism, and sure in the
end, unless it is checked, to de-
stroy all those fruits of civiliza-
tion which our institutions have
grown through the years.
In all this we do not blame the
laborers, nor their unions, for it
is not any morally , destructive
motive that actuates them, but
simply a normal and legitimate
desire to get the most possible
for their work.
Neither do we blame the em-
ployers and owners, because they
also have no wicked and cruel im-
pulse, but, like the laborers,
want to get the most profit pos-
sible.
It is an economic conflict, not
a moral one.
The gist of the whole matter
is simply this: What share of
the products of human activity
ought to go to labor and what
share ought to go to capital?
And that question, we submit,
is not a question that is going to
be settled by violence, destruc-
tion and oratory, but is the kind
of an issue that can only be ad-
justed by competent experts
working under a public opinion
which exercises a constant force
upon them to compel them to be
strictly just.
‘ Sir Auckland Geddes said the
other day that the average gov-
ernment official was below the
level of intelligence of the aver-
age official in business. It is
only too true that the electoral
methods of democracy tend to
produce second-rate lawmakers
and governors. — Dr. Frank Crane
?Put Your
To the Wheel”
Our shoulder at the Wheel of Prog-
ress will start millions of other
wheels to moving, carrying us for-
ward by sheer momentum; out of
Hie vale of uncertainty; out of the
ruts that have been made by the
narrow wheels of habit in their
passing; onto the smooth high road
that leads onward to sound pros-
perity.
We must remember that the great-
ness of our nation lies not alone in
our fertile fields and valleys; our
forests and factories and mines, but
in our ability to co-operate with one
another; in the work of our hands
and the confidence that is in our
hearts.

Trenton Defeats Wolfe
City High School 3 to 0.
(D. David in Wolf« City Sun.)
Errors, errors and more errors
lost a good ball game for the lo-
cal high school team Friday af-
ternoon, April 21. Wolfe City
had previously defeated Trenton
here but repeating on the ene-
my’s own grounds proved an en-
tirely different matter.
Havens did the pitching for
Wolfe City and did not allow a
the pride of Trenton, tossed for
the opponents. He allowed sev-
eral more bingles than Havens
but was given airtight support
by his teammates.
Trenton broke the ice in the
first round. After Connelly had
flied out, Wallace got a life on
Vaughan’s error, stole second,
and took third on Whittle’s over-
throw of second. He scored
when Setzler muffed a wild peg
from Whittle. Trenton annexed
a couple more tallies in the
eighth. Crawford singled for
the first Trenton hit. Jones
grounded to Vaughan who miss-
ed. Atkins singled to right,
scoring Crawford, and Jones
scored on Whittle’s overthrow of
first. Butler rolled to Setzler
who tagged Atkins and then
doubled Butler on first. Connelly
out to Whittemore.
Rases on balls—off Havens, 2;
off Jones, none. Hit Batsman —
Vaden by Jones. Struck out—
by Havens, 5; by Jones, 10.
Double plays—Monroe to Whitte-
more; Setzler to Whittemore.
Time of game, 1 hour and 48
minutes. Umpires — McMillin
and Fowler.

Miss Rappe Left Estate of $134
Los Angeles, April 29.—Vir-
ginia Rappe, motion picture ac- ’
tress, in connection with whose
death Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle
was tried in San Francisco three
times for manslaughter, being
acquitted the last time, left an
estate of $134.
This was revealed here today
upon receipt of a letter from Carl
E. Swanson of Trevington, Ala.,
a claimant of the estate.
Swanson’s letter, addressed to
the judge of the probate court,
expressed the writer’s belief that
Miss Rappe was his cousin, the
daughter of a brother of his
mother’s, whose maiden name
was Rappe.
The announcement as to the
value of Miss Rappe’s estate came
from probate court officials in
making public the Swanson let-
ter. _____
