Amarillo does things with the FL

down on a special train and they
brought their wives and daughters to

for those Amarillo fair ones are ir-

sort OF a convention. Like FL Paso
Amarillo is a considerable distance
from the rest OF the state, and she
wants the delegates to come out to
this side OF the great commonwealth
again and learn some more about the
state they are trying to boost. They
are learn'ngs lots that they never
knew before about Texas, on their
trip to FL Paso, and they will learn
lot more when they go to Amarillo,
for they are going If boosting does
any good. ,'

Is FILING COMPLAINTS.
Commissioner Proceeds Against
Abusers Of Dumping Ground.

commissioner BrOCeeuS Against
ADVISERS Of Dumping Ground.
In accordance with the determine
ton he expressed in the last council
meeting, Commissioner Warren is
making a strong effort to get the city
dumping grounds west Of town kept
according to sanitary requirements.
For some time the city dumping
ground has been used and abused by
all garbage and refuse haulers in
the town and many of these have dis
posed of their loads Of refuse utterly
without regard to the ordinance gov
erning the use OF the grounds. This
has given rise to well grounded OBJ
jections on the part of people who
live in the vicinity of the dumping
grounds or who have to pass the
grounds in coming to town or return
ing. Captain Warren stated at the
last meeting that 1t was the improper
use OF the grounds that made the
trouble and lately he has been CIV
ing special attention to the matter
In spite OF the warnings he has
repeatedly given, however, lately one
of the men regularly haul refuse to
the grounds violated the rules and
yesterday Captain Warren filed COM
plants against him in city court.
Just what will come OF the complaint
In the city court is no yet decided
but complaints may also be filed in
the Justice or county court against
the offenders. Captain Warren is
determined that abuses of this kind
must stop and in his work he has the
active support OF the council and OF
all the interested citizens.

GOOD FOR lands.

The Commoner has the following
to say of the decision OF Judge Ian

Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands is a
conspicuous figure at this moment
conspicuous because, in a proceed
Ing pending In his court, he had the
courage to Impose the extreme pen
atty against history's greatest pirate
on the sea OF commerce.
1t is true that fines are not ade-
quate to meet the situation for the
reason that the criminals can often
afford to pay the fines for the priv
llege OF continuing the violation OF
law. Some have expressed the hope
that Judge Lands would not impose
the maximum fine because they
feared the oil trust would merely in
crease the price TO the consumers
and make them pay the enormous
fines even as they have been required
to pay the generous" contributions
made by Mr., Rockefeller to educa-
tlonal funds. But Judge Lands had
nothing to do with that theory and
II is well he imposed the maximum
figure,
II is more than likely that the oil
trust will shift the burden to the con
sumers, but this will only aid in
the crystallzation OF that public sen
'timent that will be expressed so
forcefully that men in authority win
cease to trifle with the violations OF
antitrust laws and will vigorously
enforce that criminal law which pro-
vldes for the Imprisonment OF the
arrogant monopollst even as the
common rogue is imprisoned

This is no age for slug gards in the business world. The man who succeeds noWa- days must be up and doing early in the morning, or he will find out when it is too late that success does not come without hard work and plenty of it.
