an increased tax rate; we are not
concerned about that feature right
now, but what we do protest against
is that such an increase should have
been ordered until time under the new
charter had elapsed so as to give the
new and better way a fair, square
chance to show its merits: If the
commissioners had gone ahead for
say two years, doing their very best
to live within the income of the old
rate, and made the best showing
with the means at hand, and had then
shown us that an increase was ne
cessity, we would have joined them in
saying let the increase be made. But
at this time we are not prepared, and
we doubt if the commissioners are
prepared, to show that such an in
crease was necessary. The new plan
has not had a fair chance to demon
strate what can be done under it. The
time allowed is sufficient guarantee
that the above is true. The increase
may be all right; it may be for the
very best interests of the city, and
we may all applaud the change later,
but right now we cannot see it. And
we repeat again that the time was in
suspicious, in our mind, for such an
increase. For that reason, and on
that ground, we are opposed to the in
crease. In a final word, the Herald
wants to make it clear that when it
gave the people of Palestine its as
surance that these changes in the
form of the city government and the
vote on the bond issue would not call
for an increase in the tax rate it did
so in all good faith, and is now will
ing to admit that it was talking
its hat-relying on the prom

"order Is Heavens First Lawu

"order Is Heavens First Law"
So many mothers find it very hard
to teach children to be orderly, put
away their belongings and keep their
boxes neat. "The way to begin is at
the beginning" when they are old
enough to have playthings they should
be taught to put them away when
done with them. A child under two
years can learn to do this. AS they
grow older the habit is formed of hav-
ing place for everything and put
ting it there. The school books and
wraps should never be allowed to be
dropped anywhere We all know
what a saving of nerves and temper
a well-ordered household means For
in the hurry of starting to school
there is no time to hunt for mislaid
articles.
One mother is trying now to over
come some bad habits already formed
by inspecting the belongings of her
young hopefuls each day. If she finds
everything in order she leaves a small
piece Of money on the dresser; if it is
not there the aforesaid hopeful knows
why.
1t isn't always easy to put thing
away directly we are done with it.
We want to do so many other things.
but how glad we are that we may be
able to put our hands upon our be-
longings in hurry, only those know
who have tried both ways.
Years ago there was story pub
lished of young lady away at
house party for few weeks. In the
party was young man who was very
much interested in this young woman
and had made up his mind to- ask her
to share his salary and travel on his
pass, but he happened to pass her
room and looking in, saw such disor- |
der and confusion that he changed his |
mind about wanting her. Whether |
true or not the moral is plain: BE
orderly"

THANKSGIVING AND OFFERING.

One of the most substantial ways to
show thanks is to give part of the
gifts of Providence to those in need.
At the union Thanksgiving service at
the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning an offering will be
asked for funds to be used by the Or
ganized Charities, and every man that
has prospered should feel it a privi-
lege to give to this fund We are ad-
monished that the poor we have with
us always, and one of the greatest
proofs of religious life is the recogni-
ton of the law that L am my broth
er's keeper" This is true as to the
comforts of his body, as well as the
betterment of his mind and spirit.
The work of one is necessary to the
perfection of the other. The Herald
hopes the report from this thanks of
fering will be good one, commend
able to the goodness of the manhood
and womanhood of this sanity little
city.
But here's a precautionary sugges-
ton: If for any reason you should not
be able to attend the service tomorrow
do not let that fact deter your good
right hand from going deep into your
money pocket and digging up the size
of handful you feel able and inclined
to give. Just send your check and
good wishes to the Organized Chart
ties and know that the money will be
expended in making the way lighter
and brighter and better for some I'M
fortunate.

amendment was to limit the sub
divisions for which a stock law cleo
ton might be held to such as are
defined in the amendment. Previous
to the amendment, Article 1878 had
been construed to permit elections to
be held in such subdivisions as might
be defined by the order of the com
missioners' court.
I think the purpose of the IegisIa-
ture was to enact law whereby in
the future elections could only be held
in the subdivisions defined in the.
amendment.
The rule is given in the 18th Amer
lean & English Encyclopedia of Law,
page 746, to be:
THE repeal of statute has no ef-
feet on those rights and interests;
which have accrued under it and
which are passed and closed, nor are,
any liabilities incurred during the.
repealed statute affected by the re-
peal, unless they are either released
by the repeating statute or the repeal
includes the remedy for enforcing the
liability"
have found no case where a ques-
ton of similar character has been
passed on by the higher court, but
feel reasonably certain that tn.
would not be construed as
affecting the validity of elections al
