THE PANHANDLE MIRROR.

The first number of The Pan,
handle Mirror is just off the
press and the News acknowl-
edges receipt of the paper. 1t
is a monthly journal devoted to
the upbuilding of the entire Pan
handle county. The makeup of
the paper is good and the read
ing matter contained therein is
to the point and this new journal
will fill the one vacant place in
the journalistic line needed.
An excerpt from the saluta-
tory of the Mirror follows:
With this publication it shall
be the constant purpose, and en-
deavor, to seek and publish facts,
and to reflect true conditions,
noting the progress in all lines
Of industry and effort of what
Soever character. No advance
claim shall be made as to results
achieved, but faithfulness of
effort and zeal, and a never wan
ing fealty to the best interests
Of all the plains country are
pledged. 1t shall never lend its
utterances, columns or influence.
to things misleading, speculative
or visionary, striving always and
only for the highest standards,
and best ideals and ira
ditions. intending thereby to
become a modest unit, and an
abiding instrumentality of in
creasing strenth, and usefulness
in promoting the common good,
and all things else tending to the
early fultillment of the destiny
marked out for the great Pan
handle of Texas.

HAVE YOU ANY SENSE?

You may think you have, but
really have you any sense? | dc
not mean that high faluting book
learning but that oldtime horse.
sense which taught our fore,
fathers to take care of their own
interests. Now not much of that
commodity has been shown in
this town lately and this editor
wants to make you think about
it. Do you not think it would
be exercising very ordinary good
Judgment for the city to protect
its property from fire:
Don't you think the town
ought to take steps toward the
installation of a small water
works and sewerage system? If
this town ever amounts to any
thing in this wide world we will
have to have these things and
why not have them now so that
we may enjoy them as we'll as
have the protection to property
and health, which is essential to
our well being:

Say. this editor thinks that it
was "a dad blasted shame that
Randall county did not have an
individual exhibit at the Dallas
fair this year. The county could
have the best exhibit shown
down there if the people had
been up and doing as they should
have been, and right here this
editor says that Randall county
will be represented next year
and represented right. He is
going to keep after the Randall
county people and have an ex-
hibit there or make the people
acknowledge that they are quit
tiers of the first water. Don't
get mad now if he gets after you

RAILWAY TIME TABLE.
MAIN LINE, WEST BOUND.
SHANE ON Y0U!"

This town has not energy
enough to wake up. Now don I
dodge the question, for if you
are citizen of the town YOU
know it, This editor has, from
time to time, been trying to adj
vocate such things as he saw was
for the best interests of all the
people and | have made it
especial business to find out
whether or not | have been adj
vocating anything that was not
for the advancement of those in
tereStS.
The editor has decided to put
his thoughts on some of these
matters in just such language as
the time requires. He has found
that there is no further use in
trying to induce the people of
this town to try and wake up to
some of the necessities which
abound here.
Among other things that this
editor has been trying to arouse
an interest in is some sort of fire
protection. Now you cannot, in
any possible manner, say that
we do not need a fire department
with something to fight fire with.
You know we need it and there
is no use in trying to deny it.
Now we are certainly in the
past tense and there is only one
way to have any future now and
that it to WAKE UP. Now the
editor does not mean to wake up
and then drop quickly off to
sleep again. Wake up and stay
awake stay awake before it is too
late. Many a dollar is daily
risked in this town to the ravages
of the flames. Why, we have
even let the little progressive
city of Tulia on our south out
strip US in this respect. That
town this last week received an
equipment which would be a /
credit to a much larger town,
and if they continue showing
such forwardness it will not be .
long before it will be much .
larger.
This editor certainly does not |
know what to do to raise your
sleeping soul to the necessity /
that confronts US. If he did he /
certainly would make you think
you had been eating mince pie
and having bad dreams, for if /
there is anything that We ought .
to do is to protect our property.

Some people may have reas
ons, and very good reasons at
that, as to why they do not be-

| ldtloil III lew years anu where
another's population has de-
creased one half in the same
length of time, the question will
come to their mind y why these
changes? You have seen towns
spring up and grow to a popula
ton of several thousand with
very little developed country
surrounding it. 1t was once
thought that in order for town
to become city it was necessary
for it to have several natural adj
vantages; this, however, has
been shown to be not an absolute
necessity. Natural advantages,
it is true, are a benefit to a town.
but in this day and age if the
town has the right kind of men
behind it they will see that adj
vantages and inducements are
put out for the new settler: in
other words they will see that
he is located in their town. \
good up-tO-date town can be
made in any new country so long
as it has reasonably good rail
road facilities, plenty of country
to draw trade from and an intel
ligent class of citizens who have
push and energy and who are
not afraid to spend a dollar once
in a while where it will do the
town good as well as themselves;
and above all they must be unit
in all their undertakings. Here
at our little town it is not neceS-
Sary for us to make many adj
vantageS or inducements to the
new conner as we have already
several natural advantages which
under ordinary circumstances
who would make a town of four
or five thousand population. We
have a large farming district, as
rich as the sun ever shown upon:
we have vast area of grazing
land outside our farming district
over which thousands of cattle,
horses and sheep Craze. Hager-
man is entitled to trade from
the Cap Rock to the Texas line;
on the west eighty miles we are
entitled to one half the trade.
With all these advantages Hager-
man is a small town compared
with what it should be. What is
the cause:
We believe that the cause can
be traced to this one thing. We
lack that essential unit. We are
kicking and knocking at one an
other all the time and act at
times as though we were afraid
somebody else will make dollar
and would not give us ninety
nine cents of it. How can we
expect to make a town with one
half the citizens bull and the
other half bears: Every last one
of US needs to take a dose of
liver medicine and forget the
little petty grievance we hold .
against the other fellow. become .
a unit, every man shoulder to .
shoulder in our undertakings.
Take the old Ratchet out and /

not leave the handle sticking out
