THE AMERICAN PLAN
Lamar's Leading Contractors Decide
to Run Business on American
Plan.

The building situation in Lamar was
placed on decidedly different plane
the past week when the two leading
contracting building firms, The G. II.
Brown Lbr. 4 Mfg. Co. and The w.
F. McCue Mere. Co., came out with the
announcement that in the future their
firms would work on the great Amer
lean plan now rapidly being adopted
in all the large cities of the open shops.
All good workmen whether union or
non-union will receive an equal show,
merit will be the standard for wages
as well continued employed. Men who
are faithful and do good work will be
employed regardless of whether they
belong to a union or not. The closed
shop is rapidly becoming thing of
the past now in all the large cities
erations, which have been seriously re-
tarded everywhere, are taking on new
life. In Lamar the situation has been
extremely acute because the demand
for more houses has been overpower-
ing yet the drrgging out Of contracts
and high prices of the closed shop re-
gime has scared capital out of at
tempting to build. Already in the few
days since the announcement Of the
new policy the building boom is taking
on new proportions and contracts are
being made and many new plans
being drawn. The next year will most
likely be Lamar's banner building
boom in both business and residence
houses.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GREETING
With Intermountain Company
TAT Means Great Things
in the Future.

"A The city council has at last reached
formal agreement with the Inter
.ftnntain Railway, Light & Power Co.,
which m cans that Lamar is in realty
the owner of the light plant, but the
company viii continue to run the plant
for the city until the latter raises the
necessary funds to complete the trans
action. The deal provides that the
city is in reality possessor of the prop
erty as of date January /, 1920. and
there could be no greater boom Of
fered our citizens as n New Year
greeting. Our people must. however,
be prepared for period of patient
waiting until such time as the new
plant and machinery can be installed,
as no management can give satisfac-
tion with the present machinery equip
ment.
The agreement finally reached calls
for the payment Of 1863 900 for the two
sites-one where the plant is now To-
Gated and the other on the railway
switch near the mill-the machinery,
Office furniture, distributing lines both
in this city and Wiley and in the coun-
try. and all other local property of the
company. It is regarded as first
class deal for the city, and removes
all possible future litigation and COM
plications. On the completion of the
deal the city Immediately doubled its
order for turbine machinery and will
be equipped to manufacture a load Of
1000 l<ilowats instead Of 500 as orig
inally planned.
The definite arrangements for the
future have not yet been made, but at
present It is generally favored to build
a complete new plant at the site near
the mill. This will necessitate the
shandounnent Of the steam heatjng by
the city, and II the latter is continued
IL will probably have TO be done by a
company Of business men. The city
win be able to continue and extend
the service TO Wiley and the farming
districts around Lamar with the in
staliation Of the splendid new machin-
cry which has been ordered.
Experts who have carefully gone
over the equipment say that the city
could not replace the property they
are buying at the price even leaving
the old machinery entirely out Of ques-
ton. and Of course IL will bring a
considerable figure after It is finally
junked. Lamar has waited long for
this boon and all will be thankful that
the night OF waiting is giving way to
dawn of hopes.

D-C-D Highway Extension Dallas to
Galveston

In accordance with the action of the
Ardmore Convention, w. A. Palmer,
Secretary and General Manager of the
D-C-D highway has inspected routes
between Dallas and Galveston and has
selected the official route of the D-C-D
highway as follows: Dallas TO VIII
mer, Ferris, Palmer, Ennis, Rice, Cor
sicana, Richland, Streetman, Fairfield,
Buffalo, Centervillc, Madisonville.
Huntsville, New Weaverly, Willis. Con-
roe and Houston to Galveston. This
il the shortest route between Dallas
and Galveston and il crosses no rivers
and minimum Of creeks; the people
along the route pledged al THE cooper
alton asked, financial and otherwise
Gnd promised to build and maintain the
best possible road with their means;
there is great deal of work to be
done on this line before it will be spec
tally advertised to tourists, however.
there is much work in progress NOW.
The extension Of the D-C-D high
way from Dallas to Galveston means
great deal to the future of this popu-
lar route and it will be worth great
deal to the towns on the line thru in
creased tourists travel that will come
rs the years go by. In speaking Of
the matter. Mr.. Palmer says: "The
D-C-D highway bids fair to be one of
the best and most popular highways
in the southwest and it will be worth
great deal more to the towns than
they are asked to give to its support;
our organization keeps up campaign
for good roads and spreads good roads
propaganda. We are helping people
to help themselves thru a united ef-
fort from one end Of our line to the
other. The present year will see a
very large tourists business over the
p-c-p,"

administration there were $1,000 busi-

administration there were $1,000 bust
ness failures and not one prominent
trust among them. On the contrary,
it is pointed out that during the de-
preston the so-called trusts were able
to buy out their weak competitors at
depression prices. The Democrats,
therefore, helped rather than hurt the
trusts. The Democratic party has
many times made great promises of
performances for the benefit Of the
Common people" but the perform
ances have never been fulfilled. The
chief promise on which the Wilson ad-
ministration came into power in 1912
was reduction of the cost of living,
but there has not been a day since
the first Wilson Inauguration when the
cost of living has been lower than it
was before. The cost Of living went
up even before the war began.

And Wilson Lost the Handle

President Wilson is supporting him

to George Washington by Lafayette.
There was another staff which Lafay-
eeet aided materially in securing to
this nation. 1t was the staff Of indie
pendence to which G. Washington fit

That staff has supported US along the

Still Muckrakers

What this country needs is less ag-
itation and more repose. The evils
which seem to exist-alleged profiteer-
ing. the high cost of living. so-called
industrial unrcst"-will continue just
so long as the majority of the people
are engaged in making it continue.
When we bring ourselves to a state of
national reposc, then will the things
which seem evils disappear-and dis
appear quickly. We have become a
nation of scolds, fault finders and ma
tural grouches. Good cannot come
from such a mental attitude. You all
know that. Adjustment cannot come
with every one defying adjustment
Fairness cannot come with every one
fighting against fairness. Stop scold-
ing. stop finding fault, stop grouching
and when you do the real troubles will
settle themselves. This is not theory.
1t is just good common hard sense.
Let's try it.

Making a Record

Roy King Of Prowers county and his
attorneys. Gordon e. Gordon, are about
to make a new supreme court record
in criminal cases. Twice now King has
been convicted in the district court of
cattle stealing and on Monday the gu
preme court for the second time re-
versed the finding of the lower court
and ordered the case back for new
trial. The case WIS originally one Of
the large number of arrests made in
a general roundup Of those alleged to
be selling beef in the south part of
the county. A number plead guilty,
but King stood trial and was convict
ed. He appealed and secured new
trial, and was again found guilty by
the jury and sentenced by the court
to three 70 five years in the peniten-
tiary. Again his attorneys appealed
and have secured another trial for him.
Whether the case will be tried again
or dismissed is not known yet.

In his now famous letter to Secre-
tary Daniels, Admiral Sims said: "The
commanding officer of a vessel that is
sunk by a submarine should not re-
ceive the same reward as the COM
manding officer of vessel which
sinks a submarine" A direct and fit
ting rebuke for Mr.. Daniels who be-
slowed the distinguished service med
al on his nephew, Lieut. David Worth
Bagley, whose ship was lost during the
war, while officers whose ships assist
ed in clearing the high seas Of the en-
emy submarines, go on, "unhonored

There's a Difference

The promptness with which Cover
nor Shoup sent troops to Pueblo TO
prevent disorder, has been applauded
by every right thinking person in the
state. 1t is because me Governor has
taken drastic measures that Colorado
has been spared open rioting during
the past year. Instead Of waiting for
trouble to break out he took steps that
prevented disorder. The unearthing of
a plot TO kill a number of Pueblo citi-
zens who were active in a campaign
to eradicate the /. w. w. from the
state, was nipped in the bud by the
action Of Governor Shoup. 1t is not
pleasant to make comparison, but at
the same time, when one recalls the
policy Of ShGfroth in 1901 in allow
ing sore to grow until it spreads
over the whole state and caused the
loss of many lives and millions Of dol
lars worth of property as the result
Of tho coal strike of l9l3-14 and con-
trast this with the policy of Shoup in
1919. one cannot help but admire the
backbone and determination shown by
the present Governor.

WASHINGTON NOTES
No Parade" At Jackson Dinner

No Parade" At Jackson Dinner
When the jackson Day dinner of the
Democratic national committee is held
in Washington there will be no parade
of presidential candidates. Rumor has
it that it started out to be a parade
but the national committee seems to
have contracted chilly feeling in the
region of the feet. 1t may be that the
power of the ill ruler is still so great
that no action can be taken during
his absence. Or it may have some
thing to do with the sudden appear
ance of Bryan The Silent" who has
suddenly become very laxative. A
word picture will be presented by Mr..
Bryan expressing his idea of the per-
feet candidate and the i'll chief may
send a memorandum setting forth
what shall be the platform for 1920.
All in all it should prove an interest
ing session for the innocent bystand-
er but more than likely q nightmare
for those who must listen to the spout
ing of nine candidates surrounded by
as many more non-presidential spout
ers.
