Legislative Applause.
lRutland Herald

One of the prolific causes OF legisla-
tive delay is speeehmaking and one of the
chief inspirations of speechmaking is APP
plause. 1t is natural to applaud good
speech, and it is done even in court, but
it is not good form, and it is always sup
pressed by the court officers. legis-
lature is a court in the sense that serious
public questions are before it for deci-
sion, and it hardly becomes deiibera-
tive body to applaud one side or the other
of matter on which it must finally pass
as legislation Human nature loves APP
probation. but applause and laughter. no
tier what the provocation, are out of
place in a legislature.

who had any idea where the basket was
located. Betterley injected few foot
ball tactics into his play. A good sized
cheering squad was present Next Fri.

by forcing him to four pages printed
at home. Every cent invested in a
paper like the one Mr. Smith would
print if properly patronized would be
worth dollars to the man investing

chants of Lockney will soon realize
their mistake and rally to the sup
port of the Beacon in such a way that

LUBBOCK ALWAYS HAS GOOD
PREACHERS.

Bridgeport is just now shy on
preachers-the Methodist and Baptist
pulpits having no regular pastors
but this difficulty will be obviated as
soon as suitable men can be procured
TO take charge of the work. In the
meantime both pulpits are supplied
by pastors from other points. Bridge
port is entitled to the best there is TO
be had, in preaching as well as other
things, and the congregations Of these
two churches will each secure pas
tor who will be credit TO them and
TO the town Bridgeport Index.
The Bridgeport Index has on sew
eral occasions printed unkind things
about West Texas. Its editor seems
to know nothing about the Western
part of the State, and knows nothing
more about the Staked Plains than
the old geography taught. that it was
an arid-desert country. Uncivilized
and unfit for white. folks to live in.
But there Is one thing sure. The edi-
tor of the Avalanche has been here
little over thirteen years and we have
seen development here that means
much for Texas. This section of the
country. we dare say is now helping
to maintain some Of the schools in
Dear Old Wise County. from the tax
es we pay. Our teachers are paid
better salaries out here, our commun-
tiles have better school buildings,
and the Methodist or Baptist church
es here have never during that time
been without pastors. and we have
never had TO call on our neighboring
towns to send preacher over to
preach for US. The Index possibly
meant that Bridgeport people needed
the very best preachers. but we doubt
under the present conditions that
they are entitled to the best. Things
has to get pretty rocky when preach
ers can't stay

Each year the local newspaper
gives from $500 to 81 900 in free

located No other agency can or will
do this. The editor in proportion to
his means does more for his town
than any other ten men. and in all
fairness he ought to be supported
not because you like him or admire
