ALL ABOARD FOR A CLEANER LUBBOCK

Keeping the moral atmosp here of place clean
and untainted is one of the greatest things that
can be accomplished for town. The fact that
a town has a reputation of this kind has tendency
to bring people of the higher class while on the
other hand vice versa. A town easily get
reputation for being tough. but it is much more
difficult job to maintain its reputation the other
way In order that may keep Lubbock in the
HIGHER class; we should be very careful what kind
of people we urge to come here. Choosing citizen
ship is a privilege that most towns have. II the
business men of community will show a strong
disposition to encourage only the higher type of
business associates and rather frown upon that
class that is likely to dscredit the highclass bust
ness standing in the community keep it
thus and the is true OF the citizenship in pr
vate life The city authorities like wise be OF
great help in keeping the moral atmosphere pure
council is making efforts along this line We have
learned that of late a number of men and women
have been given to understand that their presence
are not only desired but it has been frocibly i'm
pressed upon them that their actions in Lubbock
is not going to be tolerated, and a result
CITY has been rid of several very undesirable char
acters within the past few weeks Our officials
should certainly have the wholesale backing of the
citizenship OF this city in this work, and not only
back them up in the work but assist them in every
way possible to carry out the program OF clean
ing out this class Of folks few putrid spots still
exist in and around Lubbock according to reports,
what is generally considered the hgh-class homes.
and these too should be handled without gloves
and in an incorporating way. AS long this
high-class set is allowed to operate, unmoested,
il will bring reproach upon the name of the city and
community and certainly the report should be fer
reted out by the officials Of this town, and such
rottenness brought to abrupt end If there is
any way in the world to rid the town OF such
characters or straighten them up. let's have the
remedy applied

PROFANITY ON BALL GROUNDS

In our opinion there is entirely too much pro
family on the ball grounds. Language that should
be used in the presence OF ladies and children
and which a great number OF do not appre-
ciate. is freely INDUCED in the Lubbock lot
In the last game that played here between
the Hubbers and an opposing team there seemed
to be an unusual amount of sui hur and birthstone
in the air. and the dirty oaths and my slang Of
various and sundry brands being hurled back
and forth among the players, and relayed by some
of the fans till the atmosphere was dense with its
vleness. There is no necessity for this. Most all
Americans enjoy base ball and attend the game
for the purpose of seeing it played; and Just why
one has to be forced TO listen to such fusilade OF
stuff we cannot understand. II common decency
and a desire to be gentlemanly will not control a
man. then there should be pressure brought to bear
that will eliminate the practice. No gentleman will
remain as such to their minds who will swear in
the presence Of ladies. a few will listen
to it and smile. Put stop to oussin on the
ball grounds il you want to hold the respect OF the
decent people of the community.

PERITY; they have given it ADVERSELY.
They promised to stimulate agriculture and
business. they have given an industrial panic and
destroyed our foreign markets. Foreign trade de-

They promised to reduce taxes they have
shifted taxes Of the multmllionare and profiteer-

$450000000 in taxes; reduction OF the highest

that the government must refund
