While this route would lead to Shreveport, it is not recommended as the best way to go. The roads in the section of Timpson and Garrison are reported bad. East Texas Route Open. The East Texas route via Conroe and Huntsville to Crockett and Palestine is in fair condition, but rough in places. From Crockett, Nacogdoches and Rusk may be made via Alto.

In the Palestine sector some rain fell during the week and the roads will be found heavy there, especially to Jacksonville. To make Texarkana Qf Shreveport it is advisable to go from Palestine to Tyler via Frankston, then to Longview, going to Shreveport through Marshall and to Texarkana and points in Arkansas and to Memphis via Pittsburg, Gilmer and Mount Fort Worth, Dallas and points North, East and West from these two places are made via the King of Trails through Hempstead, Navasota, Bryan, Hearne, Bremond, Marlin, Waco and Hillsboro, going via Cleburne from Hillsboro to make Fort Worth and ia Waxahachie to make Dallas. This route is in very good shnne at tnis time and fair running time can be made. From Hearne take the route via Cameron to Temple for Brownwood and points West; from Bremond go via Kosse and Groesbeck to make Mexia, from which place Dallas may be made via Ennis and Corsicana, though to Dallas this way the roads will nok be found as good as via Hillsboro. The San ntenio route and points West via this highway are made through Rosenberg, oetouring from in the most picturesque of college sports well over a month beyond the normal conclusion of the season at Thanksgiving.

Sale section this year were ashington nf tickets has already gone over Jefferson and Centre. The for- qqq and the demand continues, acceptance of the Pasadena in- vitation precluded them as a possibility. And little Centre, the team that defeated Harvard 6 to 0, accepted. The surprising ability of the two great stars, McMillin and Roberts, even more than the great record of the team itself, has served to thrust Centre into the limelight. Roberts, who will play left end today, is regarded as one of the greatest football stars of the age, while the field general, McMillin, still ranks as one of the most remarkable of running backs.

The unbeaten record of Centre, its powerful offense, carry it in game a heavy favorite. Against it Dana Bible sends the old fighting spirit that has done spirit sustained by a team of native sons. When the idea of playing the New game was broached to the Aggie team and left to them they vot- unanimously to play here. They were not only eager to play Centre, but confident that the team could hold the Kentuckians. On the eve of tbe.

Notify Jno. Fick at MeCullooch-Gordon Co. (By Associated Press) Omaha, Jan. cannot exist without law and law is useless unless actively effective Judge Kimbrough Stone, of Kansas City told the Nebraska State Bank Association here today. great agency which makes law effective in.

a republic is respect tor the law by everyone. This respect can be compelled from such as do not willingly accord it. There now exists, in this country, the need to enforce respect for the law and also enforce the laws. Too many officers and judges do not enforce the laws. Laws are enacted to control existing or apprehended conditions.

Unless they are enforced they control nothing. An unenforced law is not only a vain thing, it is a dangerous thing. are recent happenings evincing a disrepect for law and defiance of it which urge watchfulness and action. Your sister state of Kansas enacted the so-called Industrial Court Law. I am not now considering the policy of that law.

It may be very gootl or very bad. The fact remains, that the legislature of that state enacted it and the highest court of that state sustained it. As such, it should be obeyed by all within that stae. Alexander Howat and his followers, among the miners of Kansas, do not find this law to their liking. It is entirely within their legal rights to test its validity hi the courts.

But they are openly advocating, and practicing, disregard and defiance of it. This action is a direct challenge to the will and power of the State of Kansas to enforce its laws. An instance of semi-organized defiance of law occurred a few months ago in Wisconsin, where a settlement, mostly foreign born, forcibly resisted the enforcement of the National prohibition law. Several men were shot before the situation quieted. There are open violations of the lawv everywhere, and officers are ignorant.

thoughtful Americans should concern themselves with the problems of immigration. There are classes of immigrants we can well do without. They confound license with liberty; they are not willing to accept our institutions; they often seek to substitute their own ideas and ideals of government, by fomenting discontent and advocating defiance of and resistance to existing law. They herd to themselves with no desire to mingle with the American mass. They come foreign and remain foreign.

Wherever you find a sore spot there they are sure to be. In Kansas and Wisconsin, were some of this character of immigrants. It is very fine to regard America as the asylum for the oppressed of all lands, but it is about time we transferred some of our solicitude for the oppressed of other lands to the untainted preservation of those ideals and institutions which have protested our own people from oppression, and we need not hesitate to do so because foreign owned ship lines may lose some money thereby. But a more dangerous kind of violation is a subterranean sapping. The most pronounced existing instance of this latter kind is the violations of the prohibiting statues.

There can be little doubt that those statutes are not being effectually enforced. It is high time that they were. It is in no sense a question of prohibition or anti-prphibition. The policy of prohibition it be good or be not involved. Congress has passed laws lor the purpose of executing and making effective the amendment.

A man who violates them is a.
