AFIne Boarding House

DIR. John Norris has just com.
pleted one of the best and mosl
modern boarding houses ever
built in this part of the country.
IL is a large two story building
and is fitted with hot and cold
water in every room. IL also
mas a hot air furnace for heating
the entire house, so arranged
that each person can easily ad-
just the temperature of their
own rooms. This furnace is SIT
uated in the basement and is one
of the newest inventions or this
class.
There is also a bath room on
both floors and the finish of the
entire house is very skillfuIly
and tastefully done.
The Doctor has looked very
carefully to the sanitary effects Of
his building and there is nothing
in the house that will have a
tendency to harbor germs or
dust.
The dining room opens from
the sitting room and is connected
by an open door made with old
style column effect.
Lubbock should feel proud Of
this enterprise and do all in their
power to make it a success as
the Doctor has shown great faith
in the future of this section in
his expenditure and the outlay
would do credit to a town Of tif-
teen or twenty thousand people.
He invites the people to come
and see this building and 1t will
surely be worth while for all to
avail themselves of his invita-
ton. Read his announcement
adj in this issue.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Representative
Tribble of Georgia, and Martin Dies of
Texas, both Democrats, vigorously at
tackled the Sherwood service pension
bill in the house today. Mr.. Dies de-
nounced the bill as IAN attempted
campaign contribution of nearly $50
0O0, ,000.'
He declared there was cowardice in
both parties, as advocates of the
measure feared to vote against the
bill because of the possible effect on
the election. Mr.. Tribble said the
country had contributed to Union SOL
diers without protest in the past, but
that the time had come for all sections
of the country to object to further in
creases.
The Democratic house cut its ex-
penses $1S6,000" said Mr.. Tribble and
now proposed to add nearly $50, 900, 900
to the pension rolls.
Both speakers protested against
giving the veterans of the civil war
mors than they had asked for.
Il think decapitation for a good
many cowardly statements here would
do the republic good" declared Mr..
Dies. He told members to go back to
their districts anG tel! their constftu-
ents that legislation is game of bun
eccfnbe'' =
Somebody's got to be brave enough
to risk his hide to stop some of the
nefarious legislation that is being
passed in this country" he added.
If President Taft is the man, and
he decides to veto the Sherwood bill,
l say more strength to his arm -
Dies declared that members are not
voting their convictions on the pension
subject. but were supporting an in
crease in the pensions for fear of losing
their seats. Flannel mouthed oratory"
on the tariff question, said Dies, will
not save the Democrats of the charge
of having increased the federal appro-
priations by passing the Sherwood
pension bill"
THE Democratic party abounds with
just as much cowardice on this ques-
ton as does the Republican party"
said Deis.

ENTER PROTEST
COMMITTEEMAN OF THE SOUTH
FEAR THEIR REPRESENTATION
IN NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
WILL BE REDUCED.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Twenty-f five
members of the Republican national
committee will meet here Monday
night to protest against the old threat
to reduce southern representation in
national conventions. A resolution
will be presented calling on the ma
tional committee to forbid the election
Of federal officeholders as delegates.
Protest against large southern dele
cations to national conventions is
based on the fact that most Of the
delegates are federal officeholders who
generally. 1t is charged, support exist
ing administrations in order to retain
their positions. The leaders Of the
movement hope that by barring office =
holders all danger of reduced represen-
tation Will be eliminated.
Election of Taft delegates from Ala
bama several months ago at a meet
ing called by the Mobile postmaster
has suggested to Col Lyon of Texas,
a movement to nullify selection of any
delegates made prior to the call for
the convention by the national COM
mittee.

Alabama Conference, which has been
in session here since last Wednesday

Practically all of the business of the
conference has already been disposed
of, about all now remaining being the
reading of a few formal reports, the

Importance now before the conference
is the reading of the appointments.
