Editorial
of the Day
A WORD TO OUR ADVERTISERS.

From Cotton County Enterprise
We desire to cali your attention TO
the necessity Of getting your copy
into the office on time. Copy for ad'
vertising for the Tuesday issue OF
the paper should be in the Office not
later than Monday noon. 1t would be
better for all concerned. however. II
you could arrange TO get your copy
to us on Saturday. Copy for inser
tion in the Friday issue should be IN
the office not la;er than Thurfday
noon and it would be an accommoda
ton II you would bring it in Wednes
day afternoon. We trust that all VIII
take notice Of this request and try 70
cooperate with US in this matter.
We have a we'll organized mechanical
department now and can give you
the very best of service. Our shop
foreman, Mr.. w. f. Snyder, Is high
class workman and has held some or
the best positions in Texas aui Ok
lahoma. We secured his services in
order to be able to be IN position to
give our customers the very best pos
sible service. We had TO pay
premium to get the services Of this
man. We believe that you will ap-
preciate this effort on our part
enough to at least cooperate with
US in the request made above. The
first two months and half the
present management has been in
charge, it was very difficult for US TO
get the required help and both the
editors had to do quite lot OF
work in the mechanical department,
thereby taking time that needed to
be devoted to the office work and
the gathering of news. Under those
conditions we failed sometimes to
give all the news. But with the new
arrangement we promise you a newsier
paper. You can help US by being
prompt in getting advertising copy
to us as we have asked you to do.
If We have to call on you two or
three times and then are told that
you have decided that you will not
want an advertisement, it works a
hardship.

COX WILL BE WOMAN'S CANDI'

(By Edith c, Johnson


WAS Governor Cox really the pop

asked me upon my return from Can

Unquestionably, Governor Cox was
"the peoples choice Claims TO the
contrary, Notwithstanding Governor
Cox was nominated by sheer force OF
personal strength and merit Not all
of the delegates went into the CON
vention, armed with any considerable
knowledge Of the various candidates
But when they began TO look into
their several records, Governor CoXs
could and did stand the test. There
was absolutely nothing against him
There was no Grown Prince slogan
to hang like a mill stone around MS
neck. There was no packing OF the
convention by his employees ana olhce'
holders of his administration, as in
the case of McAdoo. There was no
echo of popular disapproval such as

he was unfair to labor as was
launched against John W. Davis, our
ambassador to the court of ST. James.

around him and defend him against
all comers, for his record Of con-
structive craftsmanship in Ohio Is al
most without precedent He has fair

| Of both capital and labor, and the
welfare of women and children in
Ohio during his six years of Of

endeared himself TO the women of
the state. The compulsory workmen's
compensation law means Uust as
much to the woman and the children
as TO the husband and father, and
very often 1t means more. Women al.

Telegraphic news stories carry, every day.
almost, something about some law enforce
ment officer meeting with misfortune in at
tempting to arrest some fellow who is bent
and determined to disregard the laws of the
land and make Intoxicating liquors, in spite
of the provisions of the Vostead act.
The latest story comes from Kentucky,
and tells Of sheriff's officers being killed in a
battle with makers of moonshine whisky.
The battle against national prohibition is
one which the law violators cannot hope to
win. Prohibition, nationwide, is an estab-
lished fact. 1t is law printed into our stat
ute books, affirmed and held constitutional
by the highest court in the land. 1t is a law
which must be respected and enforced.
And the sooner the officers of the land
become imbued with the knowledge that this
law is not plaything, and the sooner the
courts of the land begin dealing out justice
with hard and uncompromising hand, the
sooner will this law be respected by all.
The man who makes booze and the man
who sells booze is just as much lawbreaker
as the man who steals your horse, robs your
bank, pliers your money drawer, picks your
pocket or murders some member of the COM
munity in which you live.
Such man engages in an ilegitimate
business, knowing it is illegitimate and repre-
Ohensible, just the same as any other kind of
