JANUARY
END OF A GREAT SCANDAL
What is probably the most im-
pressive lesson the country has
ever had in the punishment
likely to be visited on grafters
has just drawn to a close The
remaining court cases involving
the frauds in the building of the
magnificent new state house of
Pennsylvania were settled last
Tuesday by the payment of the
commonwealth of $1300000 and
the surrender of unpaid war-
rents on its treasury amounting
to $200000 says the Cleveland
Leader
The state capitol cost the tax-
payers of Pennsylvania about
$13000000 Of this at least
$5000000 was graft The ex-
posure of the fraud came about
through the political upheaval in
the state in 1905 when the newly
elected state treasurer a Demo-
crat was given a hint that some-
thing was wrong and made an
investigation
The treasurer’s office had long
been in the hands of the corrupt
Republican machine organized
by Boss Quay and the political
revolution which turned it over
to a Democrat was entirely un-
expected For that reason the
thieves did not cover up their
tracks as carefully as they would
otherwise have done
The revelation immediately
forthcoming startled thecountry
The stealing had been conducted
on a wholesale plan and men
whose character was supposed
to be beyond reproach were in-
volved in it From that time to
this the hand of the law and the
hand of fate have fallen heavily
on the boodle rs
The former state treasurer
and the contractor for furnish-
ings died after being sentenced
to the penitentiary while on bail
The auditor general had the
superintendent of grounds and
building are serving terms in
the penitentiary The architect
of the capitol is under sentance
A congressman and two form-
er state officials were compelled
to make restitution Several
other men implicated went to
their graves while their cases
were in court and one defendent
was sent to an insane asylum be-
fore his case was called
It is plain that in many of
these cases the disgrace of ex-
posure and arrest and the fear
of the penitentiary constituted a
heavier punishment than any-
thing that could have been in-
flicted by the law There is no
doubt that indirectly this caused
the death of so many of the
criminals before justice could
take its course The warning
afforded is a most impressive
one It is needed sometimes by
those who are put into public
office where they are entrusted
with the handling of great sums
of money for the first time in
26 1911
their lives without the seasoning
in business morality which
comes of strict training in the
commercial and financial world

WHAT TEMPLE NEEDS
Unfortunately at present Tem-
ple is without a credit concern
a mercantile establishment that
is able to acconfmodate our farm-
ers at a time when money is
scarce and just before crops are
ready for market Just now we
have but two general mercantile
houses in our city one of these
make no hesitency in announcing
to the general public that during
the year of 1910 they did the
volumous business of over $250-
000 in other words over one
quarter of a million dollars was
spent in this line with this one
establishment during the year
just brought to a close Both of
these houses do a cash business
the question then arises what
will our farmer friends do when
the time comes for credit
Everyone knows that there are
certain times of the year when
most every farmer needs credit
and when that time comes will
Temple be ready to cope with
the situation or will these farm-
ers be forced to go to a neigh-
boring town in order to receive
this accommodation credit The
fact that our city has to depend
on the agriculturalist for its ex-
istance should be a pointer to the
citizenship of the city who ought
to make some effort at an at-
tempt to locate with us some man
who is financially able to conduct
a successful credit business
Some farmers who live in close
proximity to our city are already
going to other towns because
they cannot get the proper ac-
commodations in our city and it
is time that our people wake up
to existing conditions Here is
work for a business organization
SENATOR OWENS’ FUTURE
Just what effect the speech of
Senator Owens before the legis-
lature last week will have on his
political future is a matter of
conjecture but by many of his
party it is stated that his denun-
ciation of Governor Harmon of
Ohio will prove his political down-
fall Whether or not Governor
Harmon is directly connected
with the election frauds of his
state remains to be seen but
from present indications he will
be the Democratic nominee for
President in 1912 in which event
this state will necessisarily want
a Senator who is in accord with
the possible nominee and this
man in all probability will be ex-
governor O N Haskell
Temple needs a business or-
ganization one that is up and a
coming Will you lend a helping
hand in perfecting such an organization?
“LOOK OUT
FOR THE
CARS”
V
you know of any-
one who is old
enough to read who has
not seen that sign at a
railroad crossing ?
If everyone has- seen it at some
time or other then why doesn’t
the railroad let the sign rot
away ? Why does the rail-
road company continue to keep
those signs at every crossing ?
Maybe you think Mr Merchant
“Most everybody knows my
store I don't have to adver-
tise” Your store and your gooJs need
more advertising than the rail-
roads need do to warn people to
“Look Out for the Cars"
Nothing is ever completed in the
advertising world
The Department Stores are a very
good example— they are con-
tinually advertising— and they
are continually doing a good
business
If it pays to run a few ads 'round
about Christmas time it cer-
tainly will pay you to run adver-
tisements about all the time
It's just business that's
all to advertise in this
paper
Oklahoma is looked to for the
production of the man to wrest
the championship from Jack
Johnson Carl Morris of Sapul-
pa a Frisco engineer who has
cleaned up on his rivals in six
different fights is picked on as
the shining star
El Progreso
El Progreso met out in the
country with Mrs A Lee Sat-
urday afternoon The usual
number present Boll call quo-
tations from Evangeline Mrs
Bertha Reece read a paper and
Mrs Robbins also both on the
poem Evangeline Mrs Craw-
ford was leader of the lesson
The last part of the poem Mrs
Powell asked why Gabrial did
not make search for Evangeline
thought if he had searched for
her as she for him they might
have found each other sooner
We do not know what conclusion
they came to
The invited guests present
were: Mesdames Hickman Geo
Smith Mrs Skipper and Mrs
Etzold Mr Harve Powell was
so nice he brought his wife and
a load of women in his aut6
He took lunch but could not
be persuaded to eat in the room
with the ladies says he is a
member now Many thanks Mr
Powell for your kindness
Adjourned to meet in two
weeks with Mrs Perkins
Reporter
