At IT AGAIN.

Another OF the spasmodic and
periodic seasons of agitation for the
removal OF the A. and NJ. College
from College Station has sprung up
in certain quarters in North Texas
and some have taken the sugges-
ton seriously enough to contend
that the governor should call a
special session of the Legislature TO
consider the matter. This old
straw about moving the College
has been thrashed out time and
time again and never amounts to
anything. If those indulging in
the agitation would take the trouble
to inform themselves they would
learn that it would take a consti-
tutional amendment to move the
A. and NJ, submitted by two
thirds vote OF the legislature at a
regular session, and subsequently
adopted by a majority vote OF the
people. There is about as much
probability of the removal of the
capitol from Austin as Of the re-
moval of the College from its pres
ent location. Moreover, removal
campaign, to ever gain any head
way among fair-minded people,
will have to be based on something
more than either misinformation
or Misrepresentation. Those de-
string the facts regarding the
healthfulness OF the location, which
has lately been under discussion,
are cited to the statement just is
sued by President Harrington
wherein he says in the opening
paragraph: mo community in
the state. or out OF il. can during
a period Of more than thirty years,

than College Station"

1t may be that men do not at
tend church because ministers in
their sermons so constantly an
tagonize them in everything they
do. The busy business man in a
city who passes through an un-
ceasing grind of work, worry and
responsibility from Monday morn
ing until Saturday night, might
be willing to attend church Sun
day morning if the preacher
would refrain from basing his
discourse on the sin of Sabbath
day base ball which the man ex-
poets to attend that afternoon.
Men want a little freedom, op-
portunity to relax; they must
have diversity. The ministry
cannot win men by opposing them
at every turn of the road. Oppo.
sition creates opposition.
The Delta independent., 1907-05-03

The saloons are closed. Why
not have a Y. M. G. A? The
money spent for whiskey in one
year would put up dandy build
ing. Seems like Delta should be
able to raise $4,000 or $15, 900
for such purpose if Grand June
ton can raise over $50, 600, and
that is what they did. If the
temperance people are in earnest
about saving the boys" they
can exemplify their sincerity in
no better way than by providing
some place for the boys to go
where the atmosphere will be
clean and wholesome. Give the
boys of Delta a Y. M. G. A. Or
ganization with a nice building
and up-to-date gymnasium con-
nections and you will really be
doing something for the moral
and intellectual welfare of young
men, besides talk.

vanced but what it advanced the
interests of the community in
which it was published.
The financial strength of the
Business institutions of any COM
munity is evidence of that pro-
gre5s or deterioration which it is
making and in this failure OF the
railroad mems cooperative store
at Salida is added additional proof
that any business to succeed must
be established on a profit making
basis greater than the mere cost
of operation.
The Delta independent., 1907-05-03
Another Coop
erative allure

posed the store had its original
inception in the idea that Salida
merchants, were charging too
large a profit on goods and that
the railroad men by having their
own store would be able to secure
goods at actual cost.
This enterprise went on the
rocks and met it's ruin the same
as hundreds of other cooperative
schemes have done before, be-
cause the theory of securing
something at cost is not practical,
and even were it possible to keep
a business going by merely MAX
ing enough profit to pay actual
expenses, the enterprise would be
detriment rather than a benefit
to the community. The individ-
ual, firm or corporation which
does business without profit be-
yond actual expense can be of no
benefit to others except in the
small savings individuals are thus
enabled to make and these indi-
viduals would be far better off
were they willing to pay a profit
beyond cost of actual operation
on account of the financia |
strength such individual. firm or
corporation would thus be able to
acquire on account of such profit.
1t is strong institutions that
benefit a com munity. Two
STRONG banks in Delta will be
of far greater benefit than three
or four necessarily weak ones.
The bank that is making money
can, on account of the strength
thus acquired, get behind legiti-
mate public enterprises in a SUBJ
stantial financial way and make
something of widespread good to
the community possible, where a
weak bank would of necessity be
compelled to keep its hand off
and thus, something of great
benefit to the whole community
is hindered from becoming a
reality. 1t takes money to make
things go and the money that
goes out into broad working
channels of a community is profit.
Take any merchant in Delta
for instance, if he is making a
profit, if he is getting ahead, his
subscription to a public fund is
much larger than if he We're
barely able to pay rent and insur-
ance and keep the family table
supplied. The merchant who
makes money eventually ceases
to be a renter; he becomes a
property owner. If he constructs
a new building his "profit' is
invested in the structure. This
profit" goes to the brick manu-
facturer, the carpenter, the ma
son; it goes for lumber, a heating
plant and all the other things
which constitute modern struct-
ures. The merchant continues
to make a profit and he erects a
modern home, he enlarges his
stock of goods and reaches out to
a wider territory for trade. This
profit" is used in the community
and is a constant and growing
benefit to all the people.
When we speak of profit"
reference is not made to exorbi,
tant or illigitimate pro fit, but our
idea is to show the folly, un-
reasonableness and actual harm
of the theory that business can
be done with benefit to a COM
munity at cost.
1t must be admitted by fail
minded persons that no institu'
tions in a town are of as much
widespread benefit as the news
papers. But it is not ALL news
papers which benefit the com.
munity. A STRONG newspaper,
one which makes money and is
enabled to enlarge it's equipment
