MATRIMONY CHEAPER
IN CAMERON COUNTY
COUNTY Clerk Webb Charges Less for
Q License than ANY Other County
Clerk In Texas.

IL is probably not a generally
known fact in Cameron county that
young people who are f~avorably in
clined toward matirmony may COM
bine their fortunes, for better or for
worse. at a less expense in this coun-
~ than any other in Texas. In two
hundred and forty-fye of the twd
hundred and forty-six counties in
this state a young man must invar-
iably PUNK down a bone and a half
currency, 10 "Mex"-in order
to obtain the necessary certificate
that Will allow him to take unto
himself as a wife, some maiden,
young and fair.
No so in the county in which
Joseph Webb holds forth as the
clerk and the one whom all must
visit before they may legally go into
holy wedlock here. Every day is a
bargain day in Mr.. Webb's Office.
and he will deliver TO all who desire
to purchase them, marriage certifi-
Gates at 81 per. No more, no less.
He promises to deliver the goods
promptly upon the payment of that
sum. 1t is stated that one OF the
of the cheap price of mar
rage certificates in the county Is
that the county clerk desires to do
all in his power to keep down the
cost Of high living.-or rather. II

The Assembly,.

There SCENE to be the impress
sion that the assembly provided
for in our primary election law
is only another name for the old
county convention, bnt this is not
true. The assembly is an insti-
tuition created by statue, that is
to organize, and take one vote
for eacn office to be filled. 1t
can go no further. 1t is prohibit
ed from making a platform, en-
dorsing candidates, or performing
any Of the functions of the old
county convention. Therefore,
it is necessary that every man
seeking Office should clearly
state his position upon all ques-
tions before the people, and every
voter should see that every can
didate clearly defines his position
before he gives him support.
We are glad the days of the
boss who wrote the platform
and dictated the candidates are
passed. We are glad that the
days when a man may be elected
to an office and then violate the
platform on which he was elect
ed on the grounds Of party reg
ularity or at the dictation of a
boss" are ended. Now every
man must stand upon his own
platform, and is responsible to
the people for the stand he takes.

Why is It that when people who are
rather superior or distinguished are
mentioned that phrase "a great friend
of mine" is attached to them? Turn
your thoughts to the best-bred people
you know, the people in whose society
1t is a real privilege to be included;
do you notice how seldom they refer
to people whom you don't know?
After all, their intercourse is with you
