- The one thing which the

republicans here made evil
dent is that an amazing
change has taken place in
American politics since last
winter.
The change is best summed up
BY saying that the republicans are
hopeful again. More than that;
some. Of them are downright com

A year ago the average republic
can would have sold his party's
chances in the 1885 presidential
campaign for a slightly worn dime.

AS Texas builds highways connecting the far flung
points OF the state. bringing East Texas nearer to
West Texas and putting North and South Texas
within easy travelling distance, Texas Is not neglect
ing the vital requisite OF making these highways
roads Of scenic beauty.
Through the greater part OF the state and along
the main designated state and federal routes. the
natural beauties and resources Of the state need but
little prompting to produce the muchly to be desired
scenic effect.
A road can be just that, a road. a piece Of dirt or
concrete. leading from one point to another. just a
plain old transportation facility.
Or a road can be the means OF bringing pleasure to
the thousands who traverse its surface. a route
through beauty that brings Joy TO the eye and peace
to the heart.
The American Legion, Department OF Texas, has
taken for its own the development OF the natural
beauties Of the territory traversed by Highway &C.,
which enters the state at Byers, north Of Wichita
Falls, and continues on down through the Valley.
Highway So is widely travelled. Tourists who enter
the state from the north use at least a portion Of
the highway In getting to all points in Central and
South Texas.
State parks, small and large. shrewdly located along
the route will do much to create the impression that
aH Texas wants to make on tourists. and viii do much
to delight the thousands Of Texans who annually
travel this highway.
Work Of the American Legion, in Its efforts to CO.

mended, and no project OF wider civic interest could
be adopted by Valley posts OF the organization than
the pushing Of highway Identification In this sec
ton, working in line with the program OF the state

on this matter Of identifying the highways Of the
Valley. certainly little has been accomplished In pro-
portion to the amount Of printers ink devoted to the
subject.
