VOTE FOR THE ROAD TAX.

A good number of people who have
talked to the writer have expressed
themselves as being opposed 10 the
proposed special road tax. and favor.
ing something else, many OF them a
bond issue. On every public question
people hold different opinions, but
just now this is the only road propo,
sition before us for a vote. We are
all convinced that the old plan of
road making is a dismal failure and
we should all be wiling to try some
new plan, or some plan different from
the one now in vogue. And on this
basis, at least, we should support the
proposed lax levy. If Judge Funder-
burk and his court can make good we
will all benefit to the extent that the
roads are improved. If the plan does
not work satisfactorily we can vote
it off and try something else. The
Herald gives the county officials
credit for wanting to do the right
thing, and believes in giving them a
fair try at the road question. II the
increased tax will lead the way to
improved county roads it will be
money well spent Go to the polls
tomorrow and vote for the tax, and
then give your cooperation in making
the plan work successfully.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO.

The author of the following edito,
rial, Mr. T. A McNeal of the Farmers
Mail and Breeze, of Topeka, Kas. has
evidently been there and knows what
he is talking about, for no man who
has not could so concisely sum up
conditions as they actually exist in
the misnamed republic" of Mexico.
The Herald men know, because they
learned through two years of expert
ence, and as the fruit of that expert
ence left printing plant and other
property there as the toll of greed,
avarice and corruption, and from
which they never realized cent or
ever got a hearing in court. The last
heard of the plant the deposed despot
and tool of Diaz, Governor Reyes,
(banished from the country through
the acts of his fool friends in trying
to urge him for the presidency, was
using it in printing political propa-
ganda.

conditions prevailing in Mexico that

A PAPER WITH A BACKING.

One paper, more especially than
any other that comes to the Herald
exchange desk, <eXcites the envy of
this office. The paper referred toris
published in a town even smaller
than Palestine, but it shows on the
face of it that it has the solid backing
of its town and people. In it's col
umns the year round will be found
the advertisements of all the banks
of the town, all of the wholesale
houses, and it carries eight or ten
grocery firm ads, number of drug
store ads, and the dry goods and
clothing people use its columns con-
stantly. 1t is well patronized, solid
ly backed paper, and as result goes
out as a strong advertisement for the
town. If the Herald enjoyed such a
universal patronage from all branches
of business in this town it would give
Palestine a real city paper, and make
a much better showing for the town.
This is not complaint, nor a plea
for charity patronage, but jusra long
ing to be able to give the town such
a paper as it could easily support

The Herald has no personal knowl
edge of the case of Lieutenant Manley
of the National Guard, sentenced to
life Imprisonment at Dallas for killing
a man while on duty in that city. The
only phase of the question that inter
ests the state as whole is as to
how much authority member of the
guard has. If he has no police power
and if he is not the kind of soldier
that needs gun for defense he is not
needed in the scheme of things in
in law then the volunteer soldier has
no place.

Army Wanting in Marching Ability

that the field army is wholly UMPIRE
pared for field service. He says tho
new regulations are almost entirely
theoretical or dependent upon the ex-
p%erience of European armies. Our
transportation is the same as at the
beginning Of the civil war, for
army has so far failed to make uSe
of automobiles. traction engines and
other modern appliances in the field.
The weaknesses could be quickly de-
veloped If the present annual mansu-
vers could be replaced at least onc
by the march of a complete army
corps. Very few of our officers have
yer marched with more than a reHi-
ment.
To remedy these conditions. Maj.
Gen. Wood, chief of staff, has issued
orders which will change materially
the training of the army. The inspec.
tors general will be required to sub
nit the troops to an annual inspection
in the field, in addition to the present
inspection. which Is described in some
quarters as being little less than an
inquiry into the accounts and garri-
son work of the troops. The new in
spection will be designed to show the
efficiency Of the troops in the theoret-
ical work taught army officers in the
various schools and provided for In

Physiognomy of the Salesman

The nose of a travelling salesman generally
bears the appearance Of breadth just above the
wings. This is the nose that indicates the ability
to acquire property, make good sales, secure re.
turns through bargains and fine talking, and
get large orders even when persons have indi.
Gated that they did not wish to buy or make a
bargain. The thickness of the nose above the
wings is the true facial sign of acnuisitiveness
and a travelling salesman and a good business
man have generally this characteristic strongly
developed. We find 1t large in George Peabody,
Andrew Carnegie and the Rothschilds, all OF
vi 49," made large fortunes.
The lips Of a good salesman are regular and
fit appropriately together.
The chin and jaw of a successful salesman are
indicated by their squareness and roundness com.
bined. The roundness gives the power of appeal,
and the squareness gives the capacity to clinch
the bargain.
The voice of a successful salesman is bright.
CHEEKY, optimistic. Its infections arc hopeful and
airy, not heavy and dull. The salesman possesses
q silvery toned voice which is so oiled to it's sub
feet that 1t knows exactly what to say, and says
1t without hesitation.
The handwriting of a good salesman Is neat,
regular, connected, but shows frmness. force in
the lines that cross the is and ambition is mani.
tested in the tails OF the gs and In the height Of
the his, Is, etc.
The eyes of the honest business man who IL
engaged as a salesman or a credit man are gen.
orally small, piercing and keen in expression.
The ears Of a good salesman are broad, and
give to the person vitality, strength, good diges-
tive power and comradeship. Such a person gen.
crates life readily, and is social, genial and q

First Report on Infantile Paralysis

as a cause of death has been made
heretofore, but the increasing import
ance of the disease and it's wide prev
alence throughout the country in the
form of local epidemics render q
statement OF the mortality important.
Many outbreaks have occurred In
this country. the most important of
which were those in Vermont in 1894
and in New York and Connecticut in
1907.
The 500 deaths compiled for the
registration area for 1909 we're widely
distributed, and indicate endemic or
epidemic prevalence in many parts Of
the country. 1t should be remem-
bered, the bulletin points out, that
the census data relate only to regis
tration sources. and that for the nom
registration states the deaths are
only those returned from the regis
tration cities contained therein.
Pellagra is a new disease in the
mortality statistics, the bulletin
states. Only % deaths were returned
from this cause for 1908, and no
deaths for any previous year except
one for 1904. Such deaths undoubt-
eddy occurred, but were not recog-
niged and were consequently returned
as due to other causes or as of un.
known cause.

more than half the unavoidable" accidents could
be avoided If the cars were run slower and more
attention was paid to the rights of others in their
use of the public streets. The automobile almost
monopolizes the country roads and has become q
positive menace. 1t looms large in the annals
Of accidents as reported by accident insurance
companies. The secretary Of state Of Indiana has
recently found that the automobile Is also a men
ace in a financial way. According to his report
covering the months Of April and May, he issued
1854 licenses for automobiles for the two months.
Assuming an average of $1,000 for each car, it
would of course appear that SO, 1854. 900 had been
spent for automobiles in Indiana within a period
of sixty days. The statement has been made that
