around, people from other counties,
and the railroad builders turned out
in force for the dance. There were

all the successful city schools
were under the management of
the municipal government.
He disclaimed the right Of a
board of aldermen to control the
school affairs, calling attention
TO the law that makes provisions
for the selection of a board of
trustees for this purpose where
the school is operated by a NUM-
cipality.
The Judge then referred to the
outstanding Indebtedness of
SO, 900, an obligation that
honest men desired to see liqui-
dated and which in justice to the
creditors should be paid. He
quoted from legal authority to
prove that the only means by
which the amount could be col
lected was through re-incorpora-
ton, the supreme court having
held that the commissioners
court could not levy a tax for
that purpose.
He urged the necessity of in
corporation. 1t would at least
improve sanitary conditions, and
as a city we could secure funds to
make necessary improvements.
Mr.. Metcalfe raised the point
of order that this was a political
question, and as such, the consti-
tuition would not permit an eX-

of trustees for maintaining the
school, which would insure ample
building facilities and a salts
factory school term.
He called attention to the fact
that with an independent school
district, municipal incorporation
could be voted without etfecting
the school management, whereas
if the city government was first
adopted, there would be no pos
sible chance to provide for an
independent district for schools.
He urged that the school ques-
ton be kept separate from NUM-
cipal government and unhamp-
cred by city politics.
Judge Wright in reply to Col.
Baker, asked for the legal author
ity for u soc levy for maintain
ance of schools, and contended
that the law referred to applied
to schools, of cities and towns
and not to Independent districts,
reading an extract from the
school law to sustain his posi-
ton.
III claimed that experience
had demonstrated that schools in
incorporated cities and towns
were much more satisfactory than
those in independent districts
and cited in proof the action of
small towns in Northern Texas,
where independent districts had
been abolished, that the advan-
tages of municipal control might
be substituted.
In discussing the question of a
bond issue, the Judge called at
tention to the fact that an indie
pendent school district could
only issue bonds for twenty

A CONVERT TO ANTI-CoRPoRATIoN
Editor Press: Colonel A. J.
Baker made a really magnificent
speech last night ut the court
house, and disposed of the Pro-
Corporation argument so effect
ually that many who attended the
meeting said corporation decided
to vote the other way. The mans
sincerely and earnestness was de-
clnred by his every word and
gesture, and the specious argu-
ments of the following speakers
fell flat as dish-water. He turned
the spectrascope of logic upon the
financial star and determined the
constituent elements lie anal
yzed the economy of the situa-
ton, and the corporates argu-
ments vanished into the air. He
discussed the plea for city and
found it ridiculous. The Colonel
carried all with him and saved
the day. *#*

A Word to the Public.

The Salvation Army, an organ
lzation founded by Gen. William
Booth 81 years ago is based on
true christian principles.
The object of the Army is to
help the poor, and by so doing we
reach the heart of many poor
man and woman. 1t brings the
Army workers in contact with
people that do not go to the diff
terent places of worship.
There is many poor man and
woman that is the object of cir
cumstances. Many true, pure
heart beats under an old ragged
coat of some wandering boy, and
the same will apply TO the wander
ing sister and mother that thinks
her clothes not good enough to 90
to church. 1t was this object Of
our Gen. Booth to reach this class
of people as we'll as the richer
classes.
Therefore in order TO carry on
this work we find the collections
taken up at the different meetings
is not sufficient to meet the de-
mands; we therefore ask the good
people of San Angelo TO help us
in organizing what is known as the
Helpers League. Mr.. C G. Kirk
patrick. n we'll known citizen of
orr city, has consented to act as
treasurer of the League for the re-
naming ten months of this wear.
We are in receipt of n letter
from Staff Captain Andrews, the
divisional officer of the South
western Province to this effect,
viz: ~ am pleased to say that
San Angelo is a permanent APP
polntment for yourself and Mrs.
Horton.
Signed: WIN. ANDREWS,
Staff Captain"
We have been wonderfully
blessed III the few DAYS we have
been here. We have had four
souls with three bright CONVEX
slOns ana VIII enroll four soldiers
and several junior soldiers, halle
luiah,
This plan of the Helpers
League has been tried in several
towns and has proved great
success. All money ard checks
are paid to the treasurer.
Hoping this plan will meet the
approval of tine good people of
San Angelo and that the Lord
will abundantly bless you all,
we are yours in this good work,
CAPT AND Mrs. Horror,
Officers in Charge.
