ALetter From the
Texas W. c. I. u.
Cor. Secretary

Ms dear Prohibition Friend:
have before me copy Of a let
ter sent out by our former President,
Mrs. Cora b. Megrail. endorsing
Hon. Earle y. Mayfield. as candidate
for the United States Senate.
Thinking this might put our wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
In a false light, think IL justice 20
our cause and the principles ~
which we have fought all these years
% give answer 20 this.
The W. c. T. U. as you doubtless
know, has never taken part in par
tisan politics, further than TO stand
by the men who have stood by the
principles for which We have labored
and prayed. This we have always
done and will continue 20 do.
The record shows that Mr.. May
field has not rung true as n Prohi-
bitionist. In the "Breweries and
Texas Politics" Volume /, page ii5
and ii6. we find that Earle b. May
field is listed in a secret report as
favorable 70 the brewery interests
and that they counted on him TO heln
defeat Constitutional Prohibition.
Furthermore, during all the years
we worked So strenuously for Pro
hihition. Mr. Mayfield was little
heard from upon the stump against
the open saloon
We are informed that among his
associates he is looked upon as a man
who does not practice the principles
for which the W c. T. L. has al
WAYS contonded.
Having these facts before US, the
W G. T. IT, Of Texas cannot sup
port Mr.. Mayfield in his candidacy,
and feel that we owe this explanation
20 the public
Yours for the strict enforcement 81
the Nolstead Act.
Mrs. c. X. Porter.
Cor. Sec, Texas w c. T. u.

EXIT KNOCKER-ENTER BOOSTER

To see the old sign, Patrons will please re-
port any inattenton to the management. tackled

the booster a chance is quite relief.
So general has become the use OF these signs
that an observing person might come to the con
cluson that the management was trying to get IN
touch with all of its patrons inclined to knock
and the most-wished-for event was an oPportu-
nifty to give someone a jacking up
In view of this universal condition it is re
freshins to see tackled up in Beaumont street cars
a new sign which has taken the exact position OF
the old one, reading follows;
Reporting unusual attention the part of
employees render valuable service. as we wish
to recognize efficiency in our organization.
Clearly the management OF the Eastern lexas
Electric Company believes that it is more import
ant to itself and to the public to seek out the un
usually efficient and properly reward 1t, than 1t
is to fire somebody and break in new man.
There is a philosophy in service and it seems to
have found it,
institution will receive more strength from the
act of rewarding some faithful service than it will
from dischargng someone. II is nothing but hui
man for a man woman TO take pride IN the fact
that they have discharged their duties well-done
a little more than expected Of them, and recog-
nized accordingly The employee who does not
possess this human instinct will find himself
sooner or later In position which does not bring
him in contact with the public.
TIE man who does merely enough to keep
from getting fired is a poor employee and Will
sooner or later. find that he has been passed by
Others and become liability to his employer.
The man who does little than his duty
is not only an asset to his employer and the pub
lie as well but will find himself entrusted
with greater responsibilities with corresponding
increase in emulation.
The Eastern Texas Electric Company has
done public service in inviting the oPtimist to
come in and have an inning Beaumont Enter
prise.

The cities in Lubbock county not the only
places where education is appreciated Last week
Woodrow a school district South OF Lubbock ten
miles, voted on a tax raise issue for school pur-
poses. There were eighteen votes cast and seven
teen were in favor of raising the tax rate to 90
on the ST. 90 valuation of property; in other words,
seventeen to one. The South Plains people be
lieve in education and those East Texas people
who want to give their children advantages of real
schools will have no reason to be afraid to bring
them to Lubbock county. Here the children have
better chance of education than back in the Alb
solute Cotton Counties. Come to the South Plains
folks. where the climate is fine, ard the people
think more of their childrens education than they
do of the cotton bos.
