Especially when on the winning side we have always tried to be guarded and considerate in our attitude towards the losers. Under our American system when the voter is handed a ballot on election day- he is, or ought to be, the sole judge as to how he will cast that ballot, and so far as we are concerned his decision will be respected, even though we believe he is mistaken. So far as we recall, we have never taunted or gloated over the losers when the battle of ballots has gone against them. We have not always received this consideration from those who have triumphed over our way of thinking, but this has not changed our attitude towards those who fought honestly and lost. We are neighbors and have other problems to work out, outside the issues of any election, and any animosities which the campaign has engendered should be forgotten, and all get together for the common good.

FERGUSON'S MASTER STROKE BIG DAILIES TAKING THEIR TIME Two weeks ago The Kerrville Times attacked the big daily newspapers of this country for encouraging the entire nation into the NRA movement, bludgeoning the small merchants to put on more men and women, raise wages and generally bulldozing the public to BUY more of everything. The country weeklies, like the country people, always respond FIRST in a national whether it is a war or a depression. The weeklies entered the NRA. The Kerrville Times, for instance, had four employes we have seven. We told of how the big dailies were using the NRA advertising of their in thousands of dollars in'revenue.

Yet these same papers did not have the STILL have not the right to use the NRA insignia, because they have NOT JOINED NRA YET! The International Typographical Union (the organized printers of the nation) has opposed the code offered by the American Newspaper Publishers' will the big dailies join NRA? THE LITTLE FELLOW In the working out of the NRA plan for the industrial recovery of America, it is to be hoped that our national leaders and their lieutenants in the various localities will deal carefully with the situation, so as not to eliminate worthy firms which are struggling for existence. If the plan results in driv- 4 4 1 Use Texas Products! "WHAT TEXAS TEXAS!"

A small grocery store owner remarked to me that he was in the business in order to stay out of the unemployed class and make an honest living.

His business depends upon a little neighborhood trade largely early and late trade, and the shortened hours' meant a decided loss of trade to him. It may be that the final code will adjust some of the injustices and a misunderstanding of the temporary codes may exist, but certainly the small man should not be crowded out, and customers inconvenienced, when finally the plans are mapped out for the various businesses. We are always in favor of giving the little fellows a chance, and when given a chance many of them make good. It will not be to the permanent welfare of America to allow big business to swallow up' all of the little fellows, and the greatest care should be exercised to prevent any such a calamity. H.

A. Moos Has Wonderful Books While in San Antonio, recently, visited the book store of 11. A. Moos, 1017-1019 Broadway. This visit was an experience that was hoth ful and instructive.

It was delightful, because never before had we seen such a large and varied assortment of hooks under one roof, and it was instructive because ono absorbed knowledge from just going over were in so many different languages and on so many different subjects, all of them Interesting and educational. There were thousands of them, all thoroughly classified and sub-classified, HO that any book in the store could be easily and quickly found. There were the current books of the well as rare incunabula before the year l.fiOO and manuscripts centuries old. There are whole rooms devoted to foreign languages, metaphysics, literature and other interesting subjects, and large sections of books on art, biography, commerce, entertainment, fiction, history, education and in- H.

He may not have originated the bond issue, but he undoubtedly did become an outstanding leader in the campaign to put it over on the tax-burdened people of Texas. And all in the name of a humanitarian move. That will make good campaign thunder on the hustings next summer, in his campaign for the United States Senate. We, who have known "Farmer Jim" so long, know that he knows more about campaigning, perhaps, than any man who ever took the stump in Texas, and feel sure that he intends to use the advantage gained by championing bonds and other policies which he advocated during the campaign just closed. In a statement, after the results of the election of August 26 were determined- Governor "Ma" Ferguson gives her husband a boost after felicitating on the defeat of prohibition and the passing of the bonds by saying: "I hope I will be pardoned if I say my husband had an important part in this election.

I never saw him more interested in any campaign than he has been in this one." The chief interest in the campaign was repeal, beer and bonds, all of which were championed by Jim Ferguson, and so evidently the Fergusons believe they are in a position to appeal to voters who upheld these three. But we do not believe Jim can win over Tom Connally for United States Senator, even though Connally did exercise his right as a voter and cast his ballot against the repeal of the 18th amendment.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT ON NRA The San Antonio Light apparently is the first large Texas daily newspaper to adopt the NRA, to hire more men, and to raise payrolls. This week The Light has added seven reporters in the news department, and 13 persons in other the payrolls $400 per week. What are the other big dailies going to do about it HAYS KANUKKS SAN ANTONIO The ranker scouting expeditions were largely in West Texas and San Antonio was their headquarters.

At that city the rangers were recruited in 18-10, to the number or 70, at first of which Jack Hay.s was Captain. The Indians were very bold at that time sometimes coming rin'ht into the town and some battles were I'nURlit on the streets with the red men. San Antonio was tlie first objective of Mexican invasions of Texas, several of which occurred dui'inv the time Texas was a republic. So naturally the early operations of the rangers were in and around San Antonio. Mrs.

Mary Maverick, who came to San Antonio in 1838, In her mentions Captain Jack Hays several times, and had the highest respect for him. quoting from her book: "Jack Hays came from to Texas just after the battle of San Jacinto and when he came to San hoek and charged Antonio he was nineteen years of age, at which time he was appointed a deputy surveyor. "The surveying parties freiinetly had "brushes" with the Indians, and it was on these occasions that Hays displayed such rare military skill and daring, thatVery SHOO by consent of all, he was looked upon as the leader and his orders were obeyed and he himself loved by all. In a figln was utterly fearless and invincible. There were many remarkable young men at that time who were attracted by Hie climate, by the novelty, or by the all-absorbing spirit of land speculation.

They volunteered from almost every slate in the union to and fight in Hie short but bloody struggles of '30 and lor the fr-edoin of Texas. Many came too late, ie. after San Jacento, but were drawn west by the wildncss and dangir and daring of the tnmtler. They were a noble and gallant set ol as they styled eaeh other and soon the Indians -grew less agre.s- sive and finally Hays band drove ihein farther out west and made them so much alter eaeh ol Iheir raids lhal they of peace and thus ii nl lor siAei.il years. -On June 10, 1831) a parly ol Am- eiieans under Hays and a Companj oi Mexicans under Captain Juan Is Sequin sei olf in pm-Miii of Hie who JUM lhl il ami ueiv constantly and in dm-e- ed and W'-i.

Mays fell back out of range and witnessed Wolls army retire in order and resume their march to the Rio Grande. Mrs. Maverick says: "Hays' gallant spirit was wounded by this unaccountable and ignomlni- scene and his feelings found utterance in tears of shame and rage." The Texas army finally came up, jut it was too late, the enemy had escaped." The Texans were so disgusted and mortified that all disci- was lost and they returned to San Antonio in angry and humiliated Mrs. Maverick goes on to say, "The blame of the failure was east principally upon Col.

Caldwell, and he felt so humiliated and outraged that lie became restive under the heavy burden and from a condition of excellent health he sank into despondency and died of chagrin two or three months later.
