PROTECT THE HONEST MAN
Recent fiendish murders by highwaymen have stirred the

legislation is too often left in the hands of extremists.

TtfR STATESMAN’S SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY
t Oiettatlng the sixtieth anniversary or Its establishment
Austin Statesman last week published a sixty page special
edition that in itself serves as a most interesting history in
IfMbf of the capital city. Photographs of the Austin of other
and the splendid modern city of today give a graphic
to show the great era of progress through which the
utiful ‘‘violet crowned city” has moved in the period.
ThCptutestnan was founded on July 26, 1871 by the Demo-
tfcn Vent ton of Texas; and messages from leading
ts congratulating the paper and its publishers on its
nts, reiterate the fact that the democratic
on which it was first founded have been courageously
tained throughout the sixty years.
Among those sendihg congratulatory messages are E. M.
use, Governor Franklin Roosevelt of New York, Alfred E.
th Of New York, Will Rogers, Albert Burleson and Gover-
Bterllng—all outstanding democrats of the nation.
"Whfit can we do to make France
disarm * asks Oswald Garrison Vil-
lard in The Nation of August 12.
And in five points he answers the
question
“First,” says Mr. Villard. “we can
organize public opinion behind the
governments which, like those of the
United States and Great Britain,
are determined that Europe shall
not collapse and that the disarms-,
ment conference shall succeed.
"Second, there must be increasing
outside public pressure brought to
bear upon France.
“Third, there should oe pursued
by this other governments a steady
peUcy leading to the isolation of.
France, especially with regard to
tt» disarmament conference. If the1
rebt of the world is ready to die arm
radically, could any French govern-
ment defend itself to its own parsi-
monious citizens if it refused them
a glorious opportunity to lift some
of the tak burdens from their backs
“If France should then still re-
the other natiohs go on with their
fust to disarm r Then, fourthly, let
outlawing of battleship, submarine
and airplane, peoples who would
refuse to fight back in kind.
Then as a last resort Mr. Villard
suggests “a moral boycott and tM
placing of an embargo upon ship-
war.”
“All this has to do with the fu-
ture,” continues Mr. Villard. "how-
ever, one cannot ; but feel that
something like an economic em-
bargo must ere long come to pass
if France should menace th« whole
future of the world and fcliberate-
ly block the way to that disarma-
ment which is one of the most vllal
steps toward recovery.”

Better MOUSE-TRAP
BUILDER is
.J If
Producing a Crop of
WEEDS!
UEEN MARY of England herself recently told a .
charity organization in which she was interested:
Ivertise! It pays to advertise.” Indeed times have
changed. When Queen Mary must talk of advertising,
what must the poor mouse-trap builder do? No longer
will the world make a beaten path to his door,, however
wonderful his mouse-trap. Because his competitors are
out telling the world all about their products in advertis-
ing. The world is listening. And buying!
For Best Values read the RECORD!
There’s the situation* sad as it may be to some. The
most direct, effective, time-tested, economical way of
reaching the public is through the medium of a daily
newspaper. In Cuero, the buying public reads the DAILY
RECORD, and uses its advertising columns as a shop-
ping guide. Therfore, if vou are trying to sell what the
public needs and wants, be it a better mouse-trap or a
better pound of cheese, let Cuero’s modern newspaper
be vour salesman.
