Better Prospects
From many sections come en-
couraging reports and evidence
that folks are regaining their nor
mal sanity and that business con-
ditions are slowly but gradually
improving.
One of the most encouraging
events happening lately from a
National view point is the over-
whelming defeat of Big Bill
Thompson in Chicago mayor’s
race.
Thompson for years has stood
for everything that square deal-
ing and decent living folks op-
p o s e; corruption, debauchery,
gangs, and pelf.
Thompson met one of the worst
defeats ever administered a can-
didate for mayor of Chicago, the
second city of the United States.
Another encouraging sign is
the persistent and insistent de-
mand being made by an ever-in-
creasing number of people in
New York that the rotten condi-
tions existing in New York city
be cleaned out.
Many educators state that the
young folks are getting over
their jazz craze, and are getting
to be normal youngsters again. It
is true that the young sheiks are
still addicted to wearing panta-
loons that reach to their arm pits
but that is just a fad, is harmless
and only an indication of growing
pains. They will get over it when
their sprouting whiskers quit
hurting.
The noisy wets have been suc-
cessful in arousing the dry work-
ers to a renewed effort to sup-
press the booze business. More
and more are clear thinking peo-
ple coming to realize that prohi-
bition is here to stay and that they
had just as well adjust themselves
to this condition.
It is true the Eighteenth Am-
endment is being violated flag-
rantly, but so are many other
laws.
We have had a law against
murder since the days of Cain, yet
murders are still being commit-
ted and the law against murder
broken.
Commercialized booze is doom-
ed. Another 50 years will see the
legalized liquor traffic banished
from every civilized government
on the globe.
As conditions improve spiritu-
ally they improve industrially
and commercially.
Some day the truthfulness and
potency of the assertion made
two thousand years ago by Jesus
of Nazareth:
“Swk ye first the Kingdom of God, and His right-
eousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”
will be realized and men will learn
that if they would prosper they
must live righteous lives.
For many years the policy that
the physically weak must be pro-
tected against the physically
strong has been accepted as the
TOE HEBBRONVILLE NEWS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15. Ill
fixed policy of all civilized people.
The better policy: that the fin-
ancially weak shall be protected
against the financially strong is
gaining ground year by year and
the day is coming and much soon-
er than many of us expect when it
will be considered just as crimin-
al and just as wrong for the fin-
ancially strong to take advantage
of the financially weak as it is now
considered criminal and wrong
for the big bully to jump on and
beat up the little shrimp.
Government reports disclose
that millions of dollars are now a-
vailable for road building and
one of the greatest road building
eras in the history of the Nation
is fast getting under way.
In South Texas people are get-
ing over their panicky feeling
and many are planning improve-
ments and an impulse for a for-
ward march all along the line is
becoming more evident each day.
There is more building under
way in Corpus Christi at this time
than there has been for eight or
ten months. Farmers are adjust-
ing themselves to changed condi-
tions and are fast realizing that
they cannot farm by hanging on
to a steering wheel and let JuanjZ7T. 2
and Pedro do the work.
Merchants are coming out of
the doldrums and many of them
are crowding on sails. It is hard
for some of them, especially the
dry goods and clothing people to
realize that it is better business to
sacrifice on old stock and get rid
of it, put in newer and lower pric-
ed goods than to allow their trade
to go to the larger cities.
Grocerymen as a rule have rea-
lized this and grocery sales have|whm he „ld: „ eoming 1o

Selected
Mercury Herald, San Jose Calif.:
,We are coming to know that God
vorks with those who are striving
o make the world better and to
nake men’s lives purer and more
odlike. We are also coming to see
hat it is a great mistake for men
o wait in inaction for God to do all
he work of purifying the world.
While it is true, that God does the
/ork, we are coming to understand
hat He works through those who
ave the will to work with Him, and
hat without this co-operation of
man in His work not much is ac-
complished .... We are coming to
ee that if man will cast out the
.atred, the love of power, the greed,
nd selfishness from his life indi-
'idually and collectively as nations’,
war can be ended ....
This is an age of demonstration
ather than of promise. . . . This is
n age when men follow leaders
vho say that what is right to be
done can be done and who call for
t is in the other activities of men.
There is a rising tide of determina-
ion in the hearts of men to end
war, and this is accompanied by the
urpose to find the way to do it; and
he man or organization that at-
empts to interpose obstacles in the
path of this accomplishment will be
1 brushed aside as a troublesome en-
umbrance.
Professor J. Y. Simpson, Massa-
chusetts: It has often been stated
hat man is a pugnacious creature
nd that he always wants to fight.
But I think that former President
Coolidge came nearer to the truth
months. Grocerymen are adver-
tising their goods and making an
effort to stimulate and encourage unate'iy, fronted are becoming in-
trade and they are getting a sat- ®je“in*,y important- Non^ of
isfactory response. In times like re greatly worked for. so let us

The Runaway Tax Collector
It begins to look as if taxpay-
ing Americans will have their
hands full during the next year
or so trying to keep taxes from
getting beyond all limits.
In many states measures have
been passed whose inevitable ef-
fect must be to place a greater
burden on businesses, property
owners, workers. Levies have
been shifted from one type of pro-
perty to another, on the suppo-
sition that this constitutes tax re-
lief. New and almost unknown
forms of taxes—state income tax-
es, intangible taxes, etc.—have
come into being.
Too many public officials are,> God-nor in **»• divine *phere of

few are seeking ways to lower their f0ny.r*

States, New Orleans: It is plain
hat whatever has been accomp-
ished for the world’s progress has
lot been done in the spirit of fear,
ut only in the absolute faith that
he good desired is right and pos-
ible. If evil in any of its phases
were right, it would be real and
ndestructible. But while nobody be
ieves it to be right (except moral
diots who have no sense of either
ight or wrong), yet, almost every
ody thinks it is more powerful . . .
han good. So it is magnified and
’headlined” and succumbed to, af-
er the logic of “to whom ye yield
ourselves servants to obey his ser-
ants ye are to whom ye obey.” On-
y this constant exaltation of evil
eeps us from recognizing the truth
bout it, as expressed by Epictetus:
As a mark is not set up to be
nissed, so the nature of evil does
ot exist in the universe.” And Cle-
nthes, too, in his great hymn to
7eus (which Paul quoted to the
\thenians), said:
Nor is aught done on earth with-
out Thee,
peak of others as in our acts to-
wards others. Unfortunaely, this is
.ot recognized in the full measure it
ught to be. We have to recognize
he evil that is done from want of
thought, and this is the evil caused
y idle gossip. James, no doubt, felt
he need of emphasizing this when
ie said: “Behold, how great a mat-
er a little fire kindleth! And the
ongue is a fire, a world full of in-
quity.” He did not emphasize the
iature of an unruly tongue too
trongly.
The little things in Christianity
natter much. Chief among these is
he consideration of others. We can-
ot be too careful about making
tatements about others in those
hings which are apt to hurt and
vhich for all we know we are not
ble to substantiate. If we arrive at
his understanding we shall learn to
iridle our tongues., People are so
pt to take “tithe of mint and anise
nd cummin” in the outward obser-
ances of Christianity. There is no-
hing to be said against this, pro-
vided they do not neglect “the wei-
htier matters of the law,” the law
f good will, of kindliness, not only
n deed, but in word, of consider-
tion of others, which is the out-
tanding virtue of those who endea-
or to follow the simple Christian-
ity which Christ (Jesus) cnunciat-
d.
The profession of Christianity calls
or much fore than the mere out-
vard observances, which is the re-
igion of the easy-going. It calls for
hose inward virtues in the practice
f that Christianity, which is not
een of men. This is a true Christian
ty, because it is an instinctive Chris
ianty having its origin in the best
mpulses and the influence which
uides the Christian to seek to live
ip to what the Master taught. “I am
he way,” said Christ (Jesus). No
ne can fail in his or her Christian-
ty if he follows in that way.
