at recent term examination: Some
OF the chief inventions of the last $50
years are having an act so that no per-
Son under fourteen years must 20 into

that no person under the age of six
teen years must smoke cigars. pipes

that age can be served with any. My
brother Bill is now all right for this
invention. He was sixteen last week."

The murder mills IN Dallas

Scarcely an issue of the daily pa.
pers but contains story of kill
ing and often two or more. When
Dallas has more murders than a
city like London it is time to call
a halt. And the "best governed
city in the state" viz. San An
tonic, had eleven murders in nine.
teen days. What are we going to
do about it?-McKinney Gazette.
Why, enact state prohibition
law and send every outlaw caught
bootlegging the Internal stuff tc
the penitentiary for at least ter
years. Then, and not till then
will the work of murder and the
making of widows and orphans
stop. Only last week a Dallas
