worthy recommendation by cleaning up tine
town. T'hcfc Is no doubt but that the
town has been stirred from lis former state
Of Iethafgy, and we believe thar broader
field Of effort toward civic improvement is
not shown on the map OF Texas than
Bryan presents. A mere handful OF pat
riotic. resoIuie women can not carry ON
this work. but we know that the Mayor
and the other city officials can; and just
this suggestion from MIR. Butler will atune
a note of Joy In many a woman's land
man - heart. Every true citizen OF Bryan
will heartily endorse IL. but we want them
TO prove their endorsements by their works.
Now Is the time for us 10 read Mr.. X. ..

tions and see IL some of them cannot be

through; don't let the people Ego to sleep
again while the town Is IN this condition.
Some one-any one-who has an idea, or
suggestion to make, write an article for the
papers. The editors have kindly offered
TO publish any reasonable article II the
