Quite a number OF important mat

with other suggestions said
During the last yeas the Federal
Land Bank at Houston has loaned to
farmers In this State total OF more
than 5000. 900, and this at a time
when these farmers would hardly
have been able to borrow hardly any
thing al all through the ordinary
channels open to farmers. You have
been asked TO make reports TO Wash
lngton Of the transactions in your
local associations and fear that
you have not realized fully the I'm
portance Of making these reports,
the reports have not come up as
promptly as we have desired We are
maintaining at Washington u Bureau
Of Farm Loar Statistics, and this bu-
reau needs full reports from asHoci-

J. ID. Ferguson showing how As goy'
ernor, he betrayed the confidence Of
the people and manipulated public
funds to his personal profit He gave
reasons for believing that Ferguson
could not become governor. even
should he got majority vote. He
cited points to show that Ferguson
has contributed influence against
this country In the war with Ger
many. He showed that Germany has
been seeking to destroy the higher
institutions OF learning not only IN
Texas, but in other American states.
He sees in the Ferguson crusade the
most destructive conditions Of hate
and predlcts that should Ferguson
receive a majority vote II Will result
In a socialist or republican govern
or in Texas He considers that eYen
a respectable vote for Ferguson
would be a. second disgrace 10 the

Ignored by Speakers,
Says John A. Ste,vart

join \. Stewart, chairman of the
executive committee of the Britain Day
celebration said last night:
"There are throughout the country
1000 or 5000 so-cailed four-minute
speakers who have heen addressing au-
dirnces at theatres in the drives for
the Liberty Loan. the thrift stamps and
charity organizations. These speakers
are under the direction of the Commit
tee on Pub ic Information.
"While preparing FOR Britain Day we
wrote to Mr.. Creel. king that these
speakers be requested to speak for
Great Britain. Mr. Cree wrote bacl;
declining to 90 this, because. he said
the speakers on a previous occasion had
spoken for our British allies. We then
went over Mr.. Creel% lead and asked
Secretaries Daniels and McAdoo to help
Thev compiled. The re ult was that
although we did not have Mr.. Creel's
sanction, many of the four-minute men
did speak. Z. f. Albce, chairman OF the
theatrical committee. reported this fact.
We also received reports that 2.1O0
tons helped us ceebrate."
Judge Alton 3. Parker. who was
chairman of the national committee
said he had not been Informed that

Marquis of Crewe Wants
Slayers of Miss Cayell
and Fryatt Punished BIZ
the Proper Tribunals

LONDON, Dec. Responsibility
for Furnishing the former German En-
peror and other high German officials
for crimes committed during the war
must rest with governments and not
with jurists, according to the MARQUIS
OF Crewe, former Secretary of State fol-
the Colonies, in a letter published in
The Westminster Gazette"
The atrocities in Belgium, the i'll
treatment of p isoners and the execu.
tons OF Captain Fryatt and Miss Edith
Cavell are acts that can be brought
home to the individual persons CON
cerned, and punishment can be inflicted
by tribunals" he says. when, how
ever, we go beyond these persons, re-
sponsibility is altered. The former
German Emperor and the higher Ger
man politicians must be surrendered d
hrst and then punished by executive
acts: For this procedure there are
most ample precedents.
These criminals can be nut awav
where the. will have no further chance
Of bringing mischief on the world. or
they can be executed In other words.
1T is important that legal technicalities
must not be allowed to divert the hands
or justice, as they we'll NAV do in a
field in which there is no basis of
previous law to govern procedure. The
responsibility must not rest with
jurists, but with governments"
= Friedrich Ebert, Socialist Premier of
Germany, declared in an interview YES
Ierday that he did not know of any
legal method by which William Hohen,
zollern's surrender could be forced.
Il cannot think of any provision in
law upon which the former Emperor
YOU'D have to be given up" he said.
But that is not a question which
close y concerns us. We have separated
ourselves from him, and now desire
only that guilt for the outbreak of the
war should be finally fixed, so that he
may be exposed, once for all"
-, Asked as to his view of the future.
