A Silent Drummer.

Did you ever think what your
ad IN the newspaper was doing
for you: When you close your
store in the evening and go home
to your family and tireside, not
thinking about your business at
all, then it is that the paper is
being pored over in hundreds of
homeS-the homes from which
your trade is drawn. And there
is your ad doing its work silent
ly, but surely, and if you have
taken the pains to make it at.
tractive its work will be all the
more attractive. This is repeat.
ed over and over again and is
no doubt what inspired some
writer to call newspaper adver-

CHANGE IN EDITORS.

With the last week : edition of
The Wheeler County Texan, the
former editor, Paul Lass, issued
his valedictory as the ramrod of
that paper, and the journal will
hence forth be issued under the
guidance of a. NJ. Hilburn.
In his valedictory Mr.. Lass
says, in part:
With this issue of the Texan,
the present management will lay
down its shooting stick, get off
the tripod, and step down and
out and turn the management of
the Wheeler County Texan over
to another. We are loath to do
this, because we love Shamrock
and surrounding country and
We love her people-and best of
all we love the Texan.

kill with his ballot the votes of two
men voting for the levy. This is
grossly wrong to allow one voter
twice as much power in an cleo
ton as to another voter
Do not get confused and con
clude that IA vote for this pro-
posed amendment means that
you will have to pay an additional
tax. 1t is only proposed to give
to country school districts the
same privileges that city and
town districts enjoy, namely
that country schools may vote
80 cents special tax if they so
desire. 1t further proposes to
do away with the undemocratic
custom that prevails in our con.
stitution only respecting educa.
tional affairs, of allowing a min
GRITTY to rule.
With the constitution changed
as proposed, if your school dis,
trict wants to levy special tax
up to SOC, as city schools may
now do so if a majority of the
voters 50 desire. 1t might be
that your district would never
care to vote on the proposition,
but if it should don't YOU think it
ought to enjoy the same rights
as to the amount levied up to the
SOC limit as do city schools; and
don't you think the majority
ought to rule in elections? If so

FOR THE YOUNG MEN.

This editor has a warm spot in
his heart for the young men and
boys Of this community. Taken
as a whole he has never seen a
brighter, more energetic or
capable set Of them in any place
he has ever been. Many Of
these boys have arrived at an age
when the proper kind Of training
cannot be enforced by the father
and mother in the home for the
reason that, like a young bird,
these boys desire to spread their
wings and fly. In other words
they desire the companship Of
people Of their own age and
rank.
The editor has noted, from
time to time, that some Of these
young men, after business hours,
wander around aimlessly. When
such a condition exists trouble
begins to brew, for the old
adage AN idle brain is the Devils
worship" is as true now as ever.
1t is high time some arrange
ments were made in this town
for this class Of the coming
rulers Of our country,
The editor thinks that if
gymnasium with a reading room
were established it would develop
the boys not only mentally but
physically. He has had actual
experience in this matter and
knows that if a reading room
were established it would result
in much good, but if a gymnasium
were also attached it would re
suit in greater good besides at
tracing those who do not care
so much for reading but who
would eventually become more
and more interested in their own
training.

The Proposed Amendment.

An amendment to section 3 Ar
ticle : of the State Constitution
is to be voted upon at the coming
general election for state and
county officers. The Banner re-
CARDS the amendment as pro-
posed of greater importance
than any other public measure
submitted to the people within
the last ten years.
The constitution as it now is
provides that common school dis
tricts may levy "A special tax not
exceeding zoe on the 500 valua-
ton for maintaining their school
or for the erection of buildings
therein. But even this tax can
not be levied unless two thirds
of those voting on the question
vote in favor of the proposed tax.
The proposed amendment will
change the above above constitu-
tional provisions in the following
respects;
(a) 1t will allow country school
Gf they so desire) to
levy special tax in any sum not
exceeding 80 cents on the 500
valuation. The taxes thus de
rived can be used not only for
maintaining the schools for a
longer term, and for erecting
new buildings but also for equip
ping school buildings with desks,
globes, maps, charts, black
boards etc.
(b) 1t will allow a majority vote
on such proposition to levy the
tax. Under the present conSti-
provisions a minority
can dictate to the majority and
override the will of the majority.
Only a short time ago, the school
district of Goliad sought to levy
a special tax and "a voted FOR
the proposition and Is AGAINST IT.
The proposition lost although
there We're lacking only two
votes of being twice as many for
it as against it. This was a case
where the will Of f. overruled
and defeated the will of "a
citizens. This is very undemo-
cratic and if there were no other
reason than this, the proposed
should have your
\ local tax to build a
court house, to build or maintain
| bridge or for any other par
pose will be levied and collected
f a bare majority favor it; yet
lnder our present constitution,
n the all important matter of
Educating our children, and in
hat alone, it is permitted to one
nan TO have twice as much voice
n the matter as TO another. In

The main feature of the debate
at Bristol Monday was declara-

swer to Senator Carmack, that he
would accept the nomination for
Governor even though he obtained
minority of the popular votes in
the June primary. This DECLARE
ton was received with faint evil
dences Of approval, and its recep-
ton was in striking contrast to the
thunderous applause that greeted
Senator Carmack's manly declara-
ton that he would not take NOM
nation from ANYBODY upon earth OF
accept an honor from nyauthority
against the will of majority OF
the Democrats of his State. As at

audience was three-fourth for the
