The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1910-01-27
A Niger" IN THE WOOD
PILE

The Recorder is in receipt of a
moral law" document, that is,
it covers that amount of terrific
~, from Don II. Biggers, secre-
tary federation newspapers and
commercial clubs, with head
quarters at Lubbock. Mr.. Big
gers gives it that the three most
important propositions concern
ing every citizen on the Plains
are. first. the broom corn propo-
sition; secondly, experimental
farms: thirdly, extensive land
ed interest" problem, and how
one big concern is dealing with
1t. On the first proposition he is
much exercised over the fact
that too many people will plant
broom corn; that il will not be
given the proper attention, and
as a consequence many farmers
will lose in the end. The propo-
sitions enumerated by Biggers
are all good, if he had stopped at
that, but his comments are OF a
pessimistc nature, except the
one relating to the big landed
interests. Here is where the
niger" showed his head from
under the woodpile. A long eul-
ogy Of the local land company is
INDUCED in they never let a
good farmer get away he must
put improvements on the land.

ROMPING ON THE EDITOR

We have heard considerable
criticism on the page ad the Lub-
book business men had in the
Lynn County News last week.
As this criticism was unfayora-
bic and unjust to the manage
ment Of the News, we will try TO
show the public that we were
entirely in the right. We will
further say that we welcome
criticisms either favorable or un-
favorable at all times. We are
running the News in the interest
of Lynn county and our pocket
book. while most of our adverse
critics are running their business
in the interest of their pocket
book only.
The advertising space in the
Lynn County News is our stock
in-trade. just like a merchant S
goods or lawyers knowledge.
We venture to say there is not a
merchant in Tahoka, but what
would jump at the chance 10 sell
fourth of his goods 10 Lubbock
people, or a lawyer who would
not gladly devote a fourth of his
spare time in serving a Lubbock
man. nor is there a real estate
man in Tahoka who would hesi-
tate for single minute TO sell a
Lubbock man a section Of Lynn
county land even If he knew II
was wanted for speculative pur-
poses only.
The amusing thing however is
to have the man who has told US
that il would do him no good 10
carry an ad in the News. tell US
that we ought not advertise
Lubbock. If il would do
him no good to advertise in the
News. what good would II do
the other man? Or what harm
would it do. looking at il from
ms standpoint. if we fll the
News with outside advertis-
ing?
Another argument our Tahoka
non-advertisers use, is that 1T
will do me no good 10 put an ad
in the News right in a column
with three or four others. Last
week we had y ads scattered
through the paper. and in one Of

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
FAVOR NEW RATES
Train Operators Fear That
Otherwise Wages Will
Be Reduced.

Railroad employees are coming to the
front in support of the increased rates
which the railroads desire to put into
effect. The men who operate the trains
are fearful that unless The Interstate
Commerce Commission permits the new
rates to go into effect the railroads viii
endeavor to increase their revenue by
reducing the wages Of their employees
This view Of the situation was pre-
scented today in two petitions fled in
the Senate by Senator BUrkett, Of Ne
braska. Two thousand railroad men
Of that state signed a memorial 10
Congress setting forth the necessity Of
Increasing rates because OF the inc
reased cost Of operation
These men say that unless the new
rates are allowed hey VIII be com
peUed to submit to i cut IN wages or
else resort to a strike. The 1000 men
who signed the petition are employed
on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad and on the St Joseph and

according to Principal Ely. was highly
satisfactory.
The lowest per cent made by the
pupils Of any one school was g per cent,

The fact that or Washington
schools are more effective In teaching
Vocational geography than those Of other
cities was shown by the fact that In
