FOR SOME THE UNHOLY SEASON

The Christmas season is over with,
and we are glad of it. 1t is an un-
pleasant season in many ways from the
tendancy of many people to get on a
debauch, and even this small COM
munity was not an exception. More
whiskey was shipped into this place
this Christmas season than for several
years. and there is no doubt that it
was consumed, by men who should
have more respect for themselves and
the occasion. While they were slip
ping around behind counters and down
cellar ways, and tipping a bottle to
their lips, we will bet cooky that
they had no thought of the ChristChild
that lay in the manager 1910 years ago
We are glad to say, however, that
there were no serious outbreaks, but
the stigma is on these men for having
committed an unholy action, and one
not warranted by the time and season.
Several young men were also concern
ed in the drink fest which means a
perpetuation of mean, sneaking,
dirty habit.

Tennessee's Govsrnor-EIec

The Post takes unusual pleasure in
welcoming to Houston Capt. Ben w.
Hooper. Governor elect of Tennessee.
The Post is not Capt. Hooper's politi-
cal friend. In this campaign it could
do nothing but beg the Democrats of
Tennessee to quit their foolishness and
defeat him, and, the Lord knows, any
Republican candidate for Governor of
Tennessee ought to be defeated by
practically unanimous vote. But
outside the fighting realms of politics
Capt. Hooper is man who commands
by right the respect and admiration of
all good people, and we cannot deny
him this merely because the Tennessee
Democrats became so quarrelsome that
the people had to elect a Republican
to sit at the helm of the ship of state
for season We can say even more
than this. All his life from youth up,
Capt. Hooper has exemplitied those
virtues and qualities that make for
leadership, that constitute the basic
elements of good citizenship, that
build states and give fiber and sub
stance to civilization, that illumine,
prove and strengthen the great doc
trine of individualism.
If we were called upon to select one
man whose career stands out as an ex-
ample inspiring to the youth of the
South, Cant. Hooper would be that
man. Not even Andrew Johnson or
Abraham Lincoln began life confront
ed by more discouraging obstacles. He
fought his way even through the
struggling years of infancy and he
found difficulties at every step. But
he showed grit and character from the
beginning and with the intelligence
and experience which came of later
years, he landed at the top of the heap
in great state, and all with sound
heart, clean hands and a clear con-
science.
We do not intend to forgive him for
being a Republican. What unlucky
stars sinister rays fell upon him in
those early days in the ''mountings"
of Tennessee to divert him from the
pathway of a godly Democracy we
in these cases.
know not. We know it was not de-
liberate malevolence nor innate de-
pravity. 1t was merely some great
overpowering misfortune that the
Lord DEGREES that strong men must
bear now and then.
We welcome him to Texas and to
Houston and assure him that he has
our best wishes for successful admin
istration Of the government of our sis
ter commonwealth More than that,
we have an abiding faith that he will
make good in meeting the exigencies
and responsibilities of the great Office
to which he has been elected, and that
at the end he will quit the job just as
be entered tia good citizen and pa
triot, and a man from the ground up.
