Decorate Your Store.

The Carnival Association re-
quests The Press to give the widest
publicity to their request for mer-
chants, banks and all business
houses of the city to decorate their
places during the carnival. Ar
rangements, it is hoped, will be
made to have the business portion
of San Angelo well lighted at
night not only during the Carni-
val but throughout the fall season.
In case this is done the decora-
tions will afford pretty scene by
night and by day. The cost Of
putting bunting and flags on the
store fronts is comparatively small
and is we'll worth the expense and
the trouble.

He got tired of farming one

note of warning which the whole
state will do well to heed. II
points out the daDger-which
seems i'm minent-that the board
of control will become but a foot.
ball in the politics of the state.
The board of control idea cannot
succeed unless the board is en-.
tirely independent Of politics
The experience of other states
has repeatedly demonstrated
this. The men who have com
posed the board of control have
been men who have held office
with an eye single to the best IN.
terests of the state and it is for
this reason that the board of con-
troll has grown steadily in popu.
larity. Nevertheless two re-
cent appointments as chairman
of the board, counting the one
Governor johnson is about to
make, have been appointments
in reward of political services.
Thus a dangerous PRECEDENT has
been set, which if followed will
make the board of control, in
time, merely a body Of politicians
drawing pay from the state for
their partisan political servi-
ces.
Appointments to the board
should be made from men who
are entitled to the place by
reason of their services to the
state rather than to the party.

Official County and City Paper
SUBSCRIPTION So PER YEAR
Diaz. The Perennial.

Diaz. The Perennial.
General Porfrio Diaz has just
been inaugurated for his seventh
term as president of the Repub
lie of Mexico.
That any man should con-
constantly be reelected to the
chief Office in the government is
an idea that is utterly repugnant
to the American mind-we can
not tolerate such an idea for a
moment. Had General Grant
boen finally nominated for his
third term at the close of that
memorable fight in the republi-
can national convention in Chi
cago in 1876, it is probable that
even he, in the height Of his pop
ularity would have been beaten
at the polls. Certain it is that no
man, not even Roosevelt with his
two and one half million plurality,
could today be elected for third
term as president of the United
States.
Yet Diaz meyer has any oppo-
sition, and under present condi-
tions could be elected for his
seventy times seventh term as
easily as he was elected for his
seventh, could he live that long.
And it is probably we'll for Mex
leo that it is so. Under the en-
lightened rule Of Diaz, Mexico is
making progress, while the other
Spanish-American repu blics are
too busy with revolutions to find
time for progress.
Porfrio Diaz will probably be
president of the republic Of Mex
leo to the day Of his death.
