DINERTI<G PUBLIC ATTENTION

The WAYS oi the willy politician
are much In evidence In Texas just

attention from their own mIscon-

both directions. In such emergencies
1t behooves men with responsibilities
to be upon their guard and not be
diverted from the solution of those
problems which lie at the core of
the evils
