They can urge there with plausi-
bility that their supply of
whiskey is ordered from other
cities of the State and beyond
the State, and the money is sent
away, and that they have all the
evil consequences of whiskey
drinking. and yet collect no
revenue to assist in defraying
the expenses of the courts, and
upon this showing the great
probability is that in very few

SOME PUMPKIN

The Avalanche reporters at

play in the show window of the
Thomas and Bullock land office
this week. They have a mag
nihcent display of pumpkins, the
big juicy, yellow variety. the
kind that makes tallow stick to a
fellows ribs in the good old
winter time. These pumpkins
were raised in Mr.. Bullock's
garden patch and are a credit to
any country. He had two vines
and the Avalanche man went to
the spot where they were grown
and in the presence of Mr.. Bull
lock counted the number grown
on these two vines. and found
that % was the correct number,
and they were all big ones too,
the one in the show window be-
ing one of the largest ones but
by no means the only one that
was of that size. We noticed
some black Land" prospectors
viewing this display, and the
sight made their mouths water.
1t made them hungry for good
old baked pumpkin, and silently
lament the fact that they had
none at home that looked like
these. The Avalanche editor
turned his back on the scene.

Mister editur. | want to noe
why hit is that you use so in

little ole paper. Me an my
folks has bin visltin' haf duzin

Messenger.
This is merely another case of
ignorance coupled with narrow
ness making a bad man.
Though the above is a manufac-
tured story, and possibly never
occurred, it illustrates exactly
the point that the editor wishes
to bring out. II shows the
sensitiveness of some people,
especially the uneducated, and
prov es that their imagination
goes a long way toward making
fools of them. They imagine
that the editor knows how many
relatives each family in the town
or community has, where they
live. what their names are.
when they are going to visit
sister Sallie, and when sister
Sallie is coming to see them,
what she is coming for, and all
about it. They think when the
newspaper reporter fails TO make
mention of their goings and
comings that he shows Partially
to the "well-to-do" class, when
it is a mistake from beginning TO
end. II is quite likely that the
reporter will overlook people
who are not subscribers for he
is likely not so well acquainted
with them, and then people who
are as ignorant as the above
squib would indicate usually
think they are smart" and if
news reporter should approach
them to find out who they are.
where they are going and who
their pa is and if he fit" in the

their illiterate way tell him ii

then borrow a paper the next
week TO see what was said about
them. This is the kind Of people

LUBBOCK COUNTRY BUM (?)

J. Smith and Bob Kvker motored

The Avalanche man failed to
see this distinguished party. and
we regret very much that we did
not. We would like to have
seen what they looked like.
They evidently came in the
dark and left in the dark in
order TO make such report
as it seems they did on their re-
turn home. If they had taken
time TO look around a bit they
could not have conscientiously
called the Lubbock country
bum" Some of as fine crops
as a man ever looked at can be
seen in this country and one
does not have to hunt to find
them. We have as rich dirt in
this county as a crow ever flew
over. We have as much water
in this country as any section of
the state. and we have q much
better town than Texico and in
fact we have the Texico country
skinned" in every respect,
Judging from the newspaper
that that town supports. And.
well it is a pretty good
barometer. We are glad the
above named gentlemen live in
Texico and not in Lubbock.

QUART LAW PLANK

In the Democratic platform, as
gotten out by the State conven-
ton in San Antonio, there is a
quart law plank, and on its face
is very plausible, but under
the surface it is dangerous and
revolutionary. No Legislature
with majority of real local op-
ton Democrats in it can afford
to consider that quart law prop
osition for a single moment 1t
is the old Willacy bill fallacy
more insidiously drawn and pre-
sented. And let prohibitionists
at once begin their opposition to
it. We want no such a law as
that on our statute books. Ii
would result in the repeal of
local option in several of our
leading counties now dry and
substitute for it the quart law
subterfuge.
The Hon. B. @. Evans, in his
monthly paper called The Free
Lance, points out the danger of
this proposition. and we cannot
do better than to quote an ex-
cerpt from his editorial and give
to it our hearty and unqualified
endorsement. Read what he
says and ponder its truth:
The proposition to establish,
by local option elections, quart
houses in Texas is an innovation
npon and a death blow to our
local option system, and while
those who have urged this propo-
sition claim for it as substitute
for the open saloons in the larger
cities. and L this could be ac-
complished there would be some
excuse for such a law, but the
result of this proposition. as con-
tanned in the platform. If placed
upon our statue book. will be to
increase the territory within the
boundary of Texas where whis-
key will be sold. In the cities
open saloons will continue, but
quart houses will be open in
many of the smaller towns of
this State. There is a provision
in this platform that it shall not |
apply TO territory where local OPP
ton is in force. but this pro-
vision means nothing more than
what the law is now. but the
great danger lies in the fact
that in any counties and districts
in this State where the vote Is
close counties will be induced to
vote of local option in order to
substitute m some Of their larger
towns quart houses. Every ar.
rument that Is offered in favor
u anti. prohibition can be offered !

New Years Eve-He Saws:
My dear,
AS the old year is departing
am thinking
OF what the new
May have in store for us,
FOR you and me and Ethel.
I sit here smoking,
Burning up money needlessly,
Depriving myself and family
Of life's necessities
And possibly luxuries.
Let's add and multiply
These nickels destroy;
Let us figure interest and compound
&c.
Why, they make dollars
They make bank accounts.
Without the weed
=! should have been a millionaire.
| quit it now.
This night shall be my last
OF useless waste.
These nickels shall make of me
A Rockefeller, Morgan or Car
negie.
They mean an automobile,
A powerful, big red car
Oh! such comfort as it will bring
With summer nights.
So smoothly gliding
Beneath the twinkling stars!
There IS a college course for Ethel
In the nickels I will save.
And she shall pick the best
No common boarding school
Or female seminary for her.
But one in keeping
With the standing of her old dad.
And. too. that trip to Europe
We have often dreamed about.
That's possible now
With smoking out.
You'd better begin planning for it
soon.
And then, just possibly,
We might conclude
To keep right on and circle this old
globe
Won't that be grand?
And just to think
These things will come
From cutting out useless habit.
And now, my dear,
Let's go another step.
There's candy for yourself and Ethel;
It's needless waste.
Just figure what it means.
SEQ what life would be without it.
Why, in a year or two
[ could quit the daily grind
And tell the "old man" to "go hang"
And with the interest compounded
We three would live at ease.
Well call 1t done right now
And candy will be barred.
If only all the world
Would stop and think.
Would just apply little sound horse
sense,
These New Year resolutions
Would bring the millennium.
The cost of living
Would no longer be problem.
Old age would have no terrors
For the poor.
Hail to the year nineteen thirteen.
