Just as expected by his host of
friends throughout the state, Hon.
T. NJ Henry, state insurance com
missioner, has won out in his con-
tention that the governor had no
cause or right to deprive him Of
Ills office and appoinS a successor.
In the lower court, the chancellor,
decided that the governor had this
right. and an appeal was taken to
the supreme court by Commissioner
Henry The supreme court has just
handed down q decision in favor Of
Mr.. Henry, the verdict being unani-
nous on the part of the higher tri-
blnal all six of the members agree
ing that Judge Potter was wrong
in his ruling. Commissioner Henry
won out on every point presented,
and justice still prevails. Russell
and other political prosecutors of
Henry can again take back seat,

ard then they will be put where
they have no more power in affairs

A Wise Suggestion

The proposition of Hon J. F.
Thames, the member of the prison
board trustees from South Mississ-
ippi, now that the prison population
is growing by the hundreds yearly,
to establish q sugar and syrup re-
finery in that section of the state,
seems almost an inspiration.
1t would afford the people of that
section, where the lands are said
to produce better sugar cane than
even those of Louisiana, an oppor-
tunity to have their syrup all Of
the same density which has been the
drawback because Of the different

What the Country Needs

What this country needs is not a

lie interest above their own selfish
personal interest.
What this country needs is men OF
vision who are willing to go forward
and not backward.
What this country needs is more
tractors and less distractors.
What this country needs isn't a
lower rate of interest on money, but
the higher interest in work.
What this country needs is more
paint on the old place and less paint
on the young face.
What this country needs isn't more
young men making speed, but more
young men planting spuds.
What this country needs isn't
more people planting cotton, but
more people giving attention to the
dairy COW.
What this country needs is better
road maintenance, and less of roads

SAYS USE HOME MADE
GOODS AND RELIEVE
MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT
Develop Factories Already
Established and City
Will Grow, Says Leel.

1T is part of human nature to de-
plore unemployment, and yet, when
we dig deep into the question it is
really ourselves who frequently con-
tribute largely to that unemployment
says c. c. Leel, secretary of the San
Antonio Manufacturers Association.
How so? Why it's simple enough,
we are not in all instances using the
products Of our home factories. Many
of us are using New York or Wiscon-
sin-made goods. when our own prod
ucts are as good or better.
ITO provide work for every man and
woman in San Antonio who is not at
present employed, would be as easy as
falling off the proverbial log if the
people of San Antonio would make an
additional effIrt TO demand the prod
-<n~s of the factories here, so as to
make it possible for the manufacturers
TO give employment to additional
hands.
1T has been generally admitted that
In most instances, cities have grown
more rapidly through the development
of the factories and the resources al
ready established there. rather than
through the securing of new indus
tries, though of course it is impossible
TO over-estimate the value of new fac
tories to any community. The pros
perity of the factories already located
and doing business in San Antonio
cannot fail to attract other enterprises
TO locate here. Most large concerns
contemplating locating in a city do
not need nor desire assistance of any
kind.
MANY long established small local
concerns, on the other hand, need as
sistance and in most cases are entitled
10 it. Through many long struggling
years they have probably made little
money and have gained through hard
experience a thorough knowledge OF
the business in which they are en-
gagged. These are the industries which
| every San Antonian should encourage
to grow and develop. There is but
one way to do this and it is only neceS-
sary to exercise little forethought in
order to do so. Every man and wom-
an in the community can do this by
making point of using the products
of their own home factories.
"Nothing could be more valuable to
San Antonio than the loyalty of our
citizens in the realization of the great
economic Importance regarding The
consumption of locally made products.
1t is reasonable to assume that the m
creased sale of home products enables
local factories to increase their out
put. employ more labOrers, both male
and female. and thereby promote the
industrial development to the whole
community. This in turn tends to
hold unemployment to minimum. 1t
is therefore important that San An
tonians should continue to bear IN
ArAnd that articles manufactured To-
cally should be given first considera-
ton, quality and price being equal.
