' It will be a hard matter to en

cause it is the history of "love
affairs that love will always find

The showing that Shattuck
made in 1913 is not to be growled
at It has forged to the front
notwithstanding the so-called
dull time and opens the New
Year with better prospects than
it ever had ’ 1914 ought to be
humdinger
The establishment of these re
gional banks will be a process of
making bankers by law which
becomes from now on out the
function of our Uncle Sam
Probably party service and po-
litical prestige will have a hand
in the game at any rate we look
some to the playing of favorites
—the payment of political debts—
the handling of the money itself
amounts to something even if the
law does specify the rate of
terest to be charged etc
in
Being at the head of the Com
mittee on Agriculture in the
United States Senate we have
expected to hear something from
Senator Gore on early planting
and how to conserve our moisture
for the coming spring crops As
a theoretical farmer Gore is
rank failure as a political boss
he is rapidly losing out and as
member of the United States
Senate he is being lost sight of
The merchant or business map
who will endeavor to get business
without advertising-is trying to
get something for nothing and
we all know what the public
thinks of a man who is eternally
trying to get something for noth
ing He is a common "tight
wad" This is a day of advertising
we have to do it The public
looks for it and it is he who ad
1 vertises that gets the trade If
you will keep your eye on the
persistent advertiser the man
who keeps his name and business
before the public all the time
we’ll guarantee you’ll see a sue
cessful business man
! War is horror' liie precipita-
tion of two great nations into
war is a terrible thing to contem-
plate If there' is a difference
between nations and individuals
the time will come when
those differences can be
settled more amicably than to re
sort to force or arms It is the
proneness of the world to get out
of the narrow path of rectitude
that causes war Licentious-
ness of the people and a desire to
pilfer brings war When the
rulers and heads of governments
are just right and actuated by
motives that are solely for the
moral uplift of their respective
peoples then war will be forgot-
ten and universal peace will pre-
vail upon the face of the globe
President Wilson’s policy thus
far suits us fine and with Bryan
as Secretary of State we are not
likely to have any trouble unless
1 it is absolutely forced upon us in
1 which ejerit we can lick any na-
Vtioapon the face of the earth
A pace has been set by the
American people that will be
bard to follow and now that the
1914 wheels have begun to turn
time is not going to wait for any
of us some of us if we are not
careful may let the vehicle get
ahead of us and may have to run
to catch up but we must keep up
or lose out There’s nothing
doing by the wayside we must
keep up with the proce ssion or
lose out in the game We must
therefore be up and doing Don’t
let the New Year get too much
the start ot us without "beating
the trail”
Time stops and waits for no
man and in consequnce is fast
flitting by Boys living in Shat
tuck end yet in their teens
youngsters all over Ellis county
can remember when antelope
roamed at will on the prairies in
the vicinity of this town they
can remember when the music
of the night was the howl of the
wolf and yet we Are long since
past that stage We are living
in an age of fast development
Yesterday with its crude ways
are gone today with modern
ideas and conveniences is meet-
ing the demand and tomorrow
will put us in a strange land
How fast are we spinning
through the space of time?
This has been one of the bus-
iest weeks in town we have had
for a long time Lots of transi-
ent people were here looking
at the country some of them
with a view of locating others
prospecting The business men
have broad smiles and business
in all lines look very encourag-
ing More development is in
sight more improving is going
on and in faot everpthing looks
so promising that we are all
about to begin to shout Hallelu-
jah! Praise the Lord
Do you want a FARM
IN A COUNTRY WHERE CROPS ARE SURE?
where the winters are mild where the sum- -mer
heat is tempered by the gulf breeze
where there are no floods where there is suf-
ficient rainfall to mature all crops where
there is a fine black loam soil that needs no
fertilization where there is plenty of timber
where the climate is particularly healthy
especially for women where crops are grown
theepr round with facilities to reach the
best markets handily where the settlers are -happy
and prosperous? Then come to Hasima
Hasima is located In the Bernard River
Valley 75 miles southwest of Houston and 17
miles from the Gulf on the main line of the
St Louis Brownsville and Mexico Ry Our
farm land Is all close to the town of Hasima

AT THIS OFFICE
Today the 8th day of Jauuary
is the 99th anniversary of the
Battle of New Orleans which will
be celebrated throughput the
length and breadth of our coun
try The ' occasion ‘ should
arouse all of the Jacksonian
spirit left in' those who are avow
ed advocates' 'of the policies 'of
"Old Hickory" True Deinoc
racy is in evidence in every act
and deed of the immortal Jack
son Not every man however
who sails under the colors anc
name of Democrat is Jacksonian
but those who in deed and in
truth practice his precepts Ok
lahoma has one United States
senator plaiming to be a Demo
crat who in practice is on the
other side of the fence and has
been continually Gore-ing the
people by sailing under the name
of Democrat ignoring the party
organization and rewarding Re
publican ‘‘pap’’ suckers to the
detriment of the Democratic? par
ty in this state and the inconven
ience of the public service This
day in which the people of Am
erica are commemorating Jack
son’s victory over the British at
New Orleans would be a good
time to resolve to get rid of him

BY BUYING GOOD
Dependable Merchandise
The squak of J Pierpont
Morgan indicates that the bigin
terests feel the effect of the Wil
son administration An honest
confession is good for the soul
and likely “J Pierp” is endeav-
oring to make some good New
Year’s resolutions by doing his
soul some good at any rate the
acknowledgement shows that the
administration at Washington is
doing the common people some
good and that popular govern
ment is once more in the ascend
ency If the credit of our gov
ernmenthas to get behind the
business of the country to make
it go it had just as well get be-
hind the little fellow as the big
fellow We are all a part and
parcel of the general make up of
this government and the Demo-
cratic idea is to play no favor-
ites We believe in the religious
idea of one God one faith and
one baptism One country one
flag one nation America for
Americans and the government
administered in the interest of
the whole people
The Monitor in 1914 has de
termined to do business on ab
solutely business principles
We have found by experience
that a newspaper is no more en-
titled to give away its space
which is its stock in trade than
merchant has - to give away
wares which is also his stock in
trade There are few people
who would have the nerve to
step into a store point to some
article upon the shelf and ask
the merchaht to give it to them
Why should a newspaper be ex-
pected to do so? Every item in
the paper costs the newspaper
something either - in labor or
money and usually both Why
then should a newspaper be ex-
pected to donate? A newspaper’s
columns are made up of little
things but it is the little things
numerously mentioned in a news-
paper that count for bigger
things-and the real life and ex-
istence of a newspaper in the
sum total of its business A
newspaper is a commercial en-
terprise entered into by those
who engage in it for a livelihood
just the same as any other bus-
iness and should be considered
such by the public While the
Monitor will continue t® boost
the town and do all it can for the
upbuilding of the country filling
its columns from week to week
with wholesome news and good
reading we expect and are en-
titled to your patronage and no
newspaper can survive or do a
community any good without it
Let us all get together on a “Jive
and let live” line in this begin-
ning of a new year and see if we
cannot close it with the brightest
prospects for Shattuck we have
ever had

At appears that on the eye of
another campaign the breach
between the old standpat Repub
licans and the progressives is
still widening out and that there
is no poSSible chance of the once
united factions ‘ of the g o p
ever coming together again
Control of the organization has
been the bone of contention in
Oklahoma and up-to-date it ap-
pears that neither faction have
grabbed the thing The home
for the progressives will more
than likely be in the Democratic
ranks while the other fellows
will remain scattered
Oklahoma has the proud dis-
tinction of having more news
paper women than any other
state in the Union about twenty
that are actively engaged in
running newspapers not count-
ing the girls who are doing rep
ortorial work and working in the
mechanical departments So
far as is known the Oklahoma
women make good in the news
paper field They are energetic
hustlers and the newspaper men
are all lending them all the encouragement-
The niggers down in New
York under the lead of Big
Nigger Villard are resoluting
against the Democratic adminis-
tration at Washington for -firing
a few "coons” out of office and
filling their places with white
people The “big cheese” says
there is no place for a "colored
office holder in the South”
neither should there be any place
for him in the North East or
West The ban should be put on
this nigger proposition every-
where else just like it is in Oklahoma
“Our old time friend Kirby
Fitzpatrick an attorney in the
school laDd department a
staunch supporter of Senator
Gore in the last campaign a
prospective appointee of Gore a
man whose honesty and integrity
we would never question and a
man who will not down by the
other fellow yelling "liar” is out
in a letter telling the attorney
general of the United States
where to head in on the Senator
Gore charges Kirby it seems
was an eye witness to all that oc-
curred in the drama Senator
Gore staged wherein that dis-
tinguished gentleman is said to
have gone Shakespeare’s “Lu
crece” one better and when they
threatened to haul Kirby onto
the carpet he heard about it and
proceeds to jump onto the carpet
and muddy it up considerable
Kirby Fitzpatrick is from Ten-
nessee — God bless ’em — and
come from a breed of pups that
won’t down The Sulphur Post
will wager a copy of "Sappho”
to be awarded to the Senator
should he prove Kirby Fitzpat-
rick unfaithful in the alluring
terms in which he tells of the
Senator’s hugging proclivities”

In ElJiSi county Candidates for not vulgar if we are really true
the various county offices are to our convictions! Intimations
that are misleading and that are
said and done for the sole pur-
pose of drawing an immoral pic-
ture is repulsive to the high-
toned lady or gentleman who
perchance happens to read such
stuff in a sheet that above all and
for the sake of th community in
which it is published should be
a clean paper : I —
beginning to groom themselves
Prospects on a fat county plum
beats ' “hot sun” work any old
time and these "soft hand” fel-
lows don’t care anything about
working in the wheat harvest
anyway The chances are in
Ellis' county that ’there will be
plenty of' 'candidate for every
job’ In looking over the field we
can sight the fello vs who' are on
the anxious seat "just waitin’’
for the time to come to throw
their sombrero in the ring
Some of -them are pretty good
fellows and are capable but the
people in this campaign are going
to be the choosers As the cases
ripen we will present them to
our readers for their inspection
When they 'et too ripe and rot
ten ’specks appea? we will also
present the speckled side so that
the voters will make no mistake
Watch for the dope its the only
balm for the people
Some newspapers insist on
getting just as near the vulgar
line in their columns as the post
al laws of our country will per-
mit them to get without laying
themselves liable to prosecution
for obscenity It may be ' that
they expect the plaudits of the
public in response to their imag-
inary wit and their success at
getting ty with suggestive stuff
in their paper Not so how-
ever and the newspaper man
who is leading off on thoughts of
this kind continually breeds a
contempt for himself that event-
ually puts him in bad with the
public There is a newspaper
standard a3 well as a character
standard and the day is fast
coming when he who engages in
the business will have to ap-
proach that standard Speak-
ing the truth in all instances is
There is nothing that will help
a town more than nice streets
and good sidewalks Shattuck
is in need of both add we must
have them The people are en
titled to better improvements
than they have and it is up
to us to seek soipe way of get-
tiilg them' ‘ This age is too ad-
vanced for people ”in a modern
town like Shattuck is supposed
to be to walk in the mud we
can’t do it until we get on a high
er plane by building sidewalks
and fixing our streets Let us
start in at the beginning of the
new year on an improvement
line and see how much we can
beautify our city in the course
of twelve months
Other relaxations are peculiar
to certain timfs' places and
stages of life iut the study of
letters is the nourishment of our
youth and joy I of our old age
they thdow an additional splend-
or on proseeritj and are the re-
source and consolation of adver-
sity they delight at home and
are no embaarassment abroad
in short they are company to us
at night our fellow travelers on
a journey and attendants in onr
rural recesses
