6ood Time for Public Improvements.

In order to get the best results
for the least expenditure all COM
munities needing improvements
in the way of water works. sew
erage system or extension of ex-
isting plants, public buildings,
streets and road building, should
get to work Immediately. For
tunately, there is a widening de-
mand for city. town and county
securities, so that every honest
ly managed community with a
good financial history has no diff
ficulty in being able to sell it's
bonds to advantage. The fnan-
cial situation at present makes it
feasible TO secure better prices
for bonds that would be possible
if the whole country was enjoy
ing a great business boom as it
did prior 70 the summer Of 1907,
because as business increases
capital is in greater demand and
higher prices must be paid for
money. There is thus a double
reason why municipal work
should be taken up promptly.
On the one hand, it can be done
TO much better advantage and at
a lower cost than when business
is rushing, and on the other
hand, bonds can be sold at a
higher price than they would
probably bring if there was a
great business activity. There
are thus two points Of saving to
be considered in favor of doing
work now.
No growing community in the
south need expect TO get its full
share Of the progress and pros
perity of the near future unless
it does its full share Of work in
making every provision for the
comfort Of its inhabitants and
the protection of their health.
Good streets, good roads, COM
plete and comprehensive water
works and sewerage systems are
all essential. They are invest
ments that pay for themselves
many times over. The south is
already doing very considerable
work in these lines, but it ought

Panhandle and Money.

~ tAAANsA Ns'' NoAlICs
out with the following surpris
ing statement:
\ few days ago a loan com
pany placed an agency in Chill
dress and will be in a position tt
begin business about the first OF
August. The agent wrote the
company asking permission 70
take some other towns in the
Panhandle, but the managers OF
the company said that Childress
and Amarillo were the only
towns in the Panhandle in which
they cared to make loans on city
property. This shows what the
financial interests on the outside
think OF Childress. When the
agent is ready for business he
will have plenty of money to loan
upon business houses. He also
will make loans upon desirable
residence property. Heretofore
several parties have not built
business houses for the reason
that it was impossible to borrow
money upon the same at a rea.
sonable rate of interest.
\ loan company which will
name Childress and Amarillo as
the only towns in the Panhandle
which are worthy to receive loans
on real estate can be classed as
PECULIAR and the management
of such company, which will
make an arbitrary ruling of this
nature is more peculiar still.
What of Memphis, Clarendon,
Quanah, Dalhart, Hereford, Can.
yon City, Plainview, Lubbock,
Tulia. and other hustling, per.
manent towns of the Panhandle?
Are all Of the cities named Of
such class that they are not
worthy TO give proper security
for loans? This thing smacks of
foolishness; either that or the
Childress editor has mixed his
facts. Childress is good solid
town, but when that is said it
carries no more important state.
ment than can be applied to
other Panhandle towns.
The Panhandle country needs
more money for development
purposes as does every other
live region in the Republic, and
while this is being said, it may
also be put down that the inter.
est rate should be less than pre-.
walls in Texas. Ten per cent is
a load that is heavy TO carry
Business men and homebuilders

vantage with other states where
other loan companies and indi-
viduals are content with u per
cent and often at a less figure
than that. A blessing that could
come TO the Panhandle country
and all Texas, for that matter.
would be for a few millions TO
come in demanding only a rea-
sonable rate of interest. Then
a few institutions and few men
would not absorb so much of the
general wealth Of the commun-
ity. The talk about bad Texas
laws" is bosh Of the rankest
character. The man Tor corpor-
atom, who obeys the law is pro
tected in every particular The
criminal is always glib to con.
denim the king and the state.
The Daily Panhandle hopes
that other loan companies will
not follow the precedent set by
the company operating exclus
lively in Amarillo and Childress
in claiming that the two cities
mentioned are the exclusive re-
positories Of all that is safe and
honorable in the Panhandle.
Such procedure is a libel on the
best country and the most pub
lic.spirited cities and men in the
Southwest. Daily Panhandle.

conception at every turn. and with the
heavy weight OF fits own authority seeks
TO bring every thought into obedience 10
this idea Of divine authority. The earliest
and lowest expression Of divine authority
is in the savages custom Of taboo. The
local deity was assumed 10 act on GER
tain conditions. II those conditions were
violated he would be unfavorabie and
would not act In favor OK his clients.
Any local deity was as certainly sup
posed TO live in one particular spot as
was his client. Like his client. he might
occasionally take a Journey to see the
sights, but he had a definite habitation,
some particular spot which was rendered
holy by his living there. and his author
ity in that particular spot was so abso-
lutte that his wishes must be regarded

Ethical Idea Basis.
This notion Of taboo Is the basis OF
the ethical idea Of sin as being displeas-
ing to God. and as being the occasion of

from the idea Of taboo. and from the
higher idea OF sin as the negative side
OF the idea OF conformity with the will
OF God. we easily gather universal data
indicative Of the conception Of divine
authority in the commonplace affairs OF
life This authority, according to Chris
tianity. is not something imposed from
the outside, or supernatural. but is in
herent in man and his environment, and
IS one aspect Of the laws governing all
phenomena with which man has to do.
