Matinee Girls Coming.

A press notice says:
Discriminating patrons of the the
atre and those enjoying a happy com
bination of music and frolic will have
an opportunity of satisfying their de
sires along this line next Wednesday
December s, when the Matinee Cir
Musical Comedy company presents
McKennes' Filtration, at the New
Temple Theatre.
The Matinee Girl company is now
in its fourth and most successful sea
son, for everywhere that the organi-
cation has appeared its work has re
ceived the highest praise.
Composed of a bevy of beautiful
maidens and an insuperable cast, with
a musicality that is built distinctly
along fun lines, they have succeeded
in winning the grace of all of the, audi
ences by furnishing an entertainment
that is unparalleled.
A prominent feature of the show is
the elegant and tasy costumfng of the
principals and the quaint conceits fur
nished the chorus.
The engagement of this company is
something out of the ordinary and
one that should not be missed.

But for persistent, consistent boost
ing for the advancement of its state
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram mer
its the blue ribbon.
The news and editorial columns OF
the Star-Telegram are teeming with
inspiring reports and comments on
Texas development activities.
Here is the keynote of the Star.
kilograms philosophy:
The towns steady persistent ad,
vertiser is its newspaper.-Waco
Times-Herald.
And the work it does for its town
and section day in and day out is not
always fully appreciated.-Denison
Herald.
The newspaper that is true to itself
and its people never tires in advertis-
ing its town and, so far from getting
its just due, is often condemned for
not doing what this or that selfish cit
izen thinks it ought to do and, too
often, not word is said by anyone in
it's defense. But human nature is a
perverse thing and no newspaper
should worry about it, but should go
right on doing its duty to the public
it serves.-Town Development (Chi-
cago).

OVER IN ALABAMA.

Many of the papers here in Texas
are throwing large and attractive bou'
quets at Alabama for turning down
prohibition, and are trying to leave
the impression that prohibition ~
ceived knockout in that Sta
this -tisaas= Certain 5zas papers want
very much to make a bad case against
prohibition You understand the rea-
son. But the truth is Alabama re,
pudiated number of constitutional
amendments offered in the name of
prohibition, but we suspect not by
the friends of prohibition. It looks to
us very much like what is known in
common parlance as the double cross.
The fact is this: Alabama is still as
dry as it was before the recent cleo
ton, and it also remains a fact that
if the ants secure control of the legis-
lature and repeal the present prohi-
bition laws, the fifty-four counties now
dry would remain dry until such time
as the people of each county voted
wet. In other words the fifty-four
counties are still dry and will remain
so until the people say by their votes
that they shall be wet. And we are
thinking that will be a good while. If
these papers would they could tell the
whole truth about the case in Ala
bama

Hon. Cone Johnson believes in the
power and dignity of the law; he
thinks state law should be enforced
throughout the state. That is the
Herald's platform, too. Mr.. Johnson
also expresses the same sentiment the
Herald has been preaching regarding
the convict question. His views on
the school and road question are also
our views. These are some of the
reasons why the Herald is for John
son for governor. Another reason is
because we know the man; know he
can be depended upon.

mWho,s Your Friend ~

Only an average sized audience was
at the Temple last evening to witness
Harry Beresford and company in the
comedy who's Your Friend?" If a
play is to be judged by the number
of laughs or heart throbs it pro
duces, then the comedy of last night
must be given a front rank, but the
credit is mostly due to the authors
of the comedy, rather than to those
interpreting it. The plot of the com
edy is an absurdity that appeals to the
funny side Of the auditor, regardless
of the merits of the actors. The story
is Faust up-to-date, and from the ri
diculous viewpoint, and yet not with
out its pathos in the undercurrent of
its argument. Mr. Beresford does not
make the character what its possible
tiles offer him, and the rest of the
supporting company is only medium.

Let's get hold of two essential
truths: Before we can ever attract and
hold the right kind of new people, we
must improve our public roads and
public schools. People from states
where these things are the rule, rather
than the exception, will not stand for
anything less. This is a work to be
done at home by home people. When
we have accomplished these, people
will come on their own invitation.
Keep in mind the special meeting of
the Board of Trade to discuss these
things
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1909-12-04

of Trade. Palestine must either so
forward and take care of its opportu-
mites or it must rest on what it has
and take chances on its life. We have
the men and the means to do big
things, but we must get together and
work together A few men cannot
handle the problem, but it is one for
every man and all men who are in
terested in Palestine.
