Woman Suffrage Act
Is Sustained by Court

Austin.-Answering certified ques-
ton from the first court of civil ap
peals at Galveston in the case of Mrs.
Alma Koy VS.. William Schneider, tax
collector, from Fayette County, the
supreme court Wednesday in a ma
jority opinion, written by Assistant
Justice Thomas B. Greenwood, up
held the constitutionality of the act
of the Thirty-Fifth Legislature, grant
ing to women the privilege of voting
in primary elections. Associate JUS
tice William E. Hawkins concurred in
the opinion Chief Justice Nelson
Phillips dissented in a written opin-
ion.
The court also refused the applica-
ton for writ of error in the case of
Tom NJ Hamilton VS.. Lee R. Davis, tax
collector, from McLennan County,
which in effect sustained judgment of
the third court of the civil appeals at
Austin, which declared the woman's
suffrage act to be valid. Chief JUS
tice Phillips also dissented In this
case. Practically the same question
was involved in the two cases decided
by the supreme court Wednesday. In
other words, the constitutionality of
the woman suffrage act was upheld
twice by the highest court of the
state, it being the first time that the
court has spoken on the question.

WOMEN AND CITIZENSHIP

ENOR clever women the realm of politics
is a newly discovered country filled
with novelty and wonder. They look
around them, for the time being at least,
with eyes that, being unsophisticated are
therefore discerning. Unlike men, who
have been accustomed TO the vote, they
are not bored. They are not blase. Their
perceptions have not been dulled through
familiarity nor hardened in the weary
acceptance of things that are evil, or
hagrantly inconsistent. So women who
talk of politics talk critically.
Congressman go to sleep during ses-
sions. Many of them are dull. They flee
from the floor when speeches are being
made. The ward systems are corrupt.
Both political parties are dominated from
below by self-interested groups. Men
accept these sad truths. Women are be-
ginning to worry about them.
The school of citizenship established
here by the suffragists has been, there
fore, something of revelation. Women
like new things. Their zeal for politics
may diminish. Now their intelligent ap-
proach to the duties of citizens challenges
respect A little while ago some people
were disposed to smile tolerantly at the
suggestion of woman's school of pol
itics. Since then a good many people
have been wondering whether similar
school for men who vote would not be a
good thing for the community-if men
could be induced to enroll as students.

MTHEN the sad bells toll atShidnight
w the nation will be, in theory at least
bone dry. Wartime enforcement laws
were not always obeyed even in the liquor
trade. But all people interested in the
business have been manfesting whole
some respect for the rules laid down in
the prohibition amendment. The clause
which forbids the transportation of in
tpxicants is the one which S likely to
have the most general effect.
1t is clear already that the troubles of
prohibition will not be exclusively among
the friends of the frisky demon. The
agents charged with the duty of en-
forcing the law will have no easy time.
Yesterday the Internal Revenue Depart
ment demanded S2,000,000 of Congress to
pay $500 watchmen, who, the amazed
committee was told, will be required to
guard vast quantities Of whisky still held
under bond. The whisky is outlawed. 1t
cannot be shipped, AS a basis for COM
meTcial spirit it is hardly worth elaborate
outlays such as that now proposed. This,
perhaps, is only the first note of COIL
fusion. Vast expenditures by the gov
ernment will be necessary to sustain the
new law.

This Shall Be the Bond

THIS shall be the bond between us, mate
l. of my heart
Stir of willow branches where the saplings
start,
Out of sedgy meadows by the downhiIl
Where the air lies deep in dream.
This shall be the bond between us, winding
In and out from yesterday till all our days
are done,
The free, onward flowing of the full hearted
Past reeds Mat rustic and CULVER.
Ache of throbbing heavens torn by bursting
storm,
Tang of bitter wood smoke where our food
waits warm,
And the dear, broken music of the hard
driven rain.
And the cold-or thirst-or pain
These shall be bond between us unto the
end.
And the unknown venture where the singing
rapids bend
To the clean, white danger of the foaming
rip,
W mere our DOdt lHuSJ uuuCe anu UP
Ringing of the pebbles where the rifles are
shallow,
Pleasant quip of quail in the fields long
fallow,
And the dawn's quaint chorus out Of old
delight,
And the sweet scented peace of night;
Blowing of the merry buds rosy, blue, and
yellow,
Flushing of the wild fruits until they are
mellow,
Strawberries, raspberries and saucy winter
green,
All rich things heard and seen;
For the love of all wild things is warm upon
our lips,
The old earth is answered in our clinsins
finger tips,
We are growing full hearted as the rivers
grow great
This shall be the bond, my mate.

CLEANING UP

TIE Is apparent that dirty streets were
4 not the sorriest legacy left behind by
the faction recently ousted from author
ity at City Hall. Director Cortelyou's
program of reorganization in the Police
Department, like Chief Daviss plan for
cleanup in the Water Bureau, is sig
nificant, not of a new series of political
maneuvers, but of the extent of the de-
terioration brought about in the munic-
ipal service by the most reckless sort of
factional jobbery.
Mr.. Davis, who has always been known
as an able official, is acting like man
newly liberated. No one can question the
< <propriety of his desire to get all dead
Il, ood out of department which, because
of its physical limitations, is most acute
ly in need of an efficient personnel. The
Water Bureau appears to have been
weighted down by men who drew wages
for political toll alone. So far as it is
possible to Judge at this time, Chief Cor
telyou, in the general reassignment of
minor police officials, is striking at the
root of corrupt politics.
When there has been graft or crim-
nality i'll the police districts or indecent
relationships between the Police Depart
ment and lawbreakers, the rank and file
of the men in the service knew little of
what was going on and benefited less.
rhe offenders were the men higher up.
And yet captains and lieutenants in the
police service wAre often helpless. They
were sloughed in the morasses of petty
intrigue created about them by profess
sional heelers.
1t is unlikely, therefore, that all the
officials moved by the new police admin
istration will regret the change. Some
of them will. In either case the general
Encouragement in police districts where
politics and crime were in one way or
another associated cannot but have "A
beneficial result.
Meanwhile the grip of ali antagonstic
faction on the police service is being
thoroughly shaken. No one can blame
the Mayor and his associates if they play
politics in self-defense. You have to fight
the devil with fire. But the present and
prospective shake-ups seem actually in
tended primarily for the good Of the pub
lie service. And if Cortelyou and Davis
and other executives in the new admin
istration have to cut deep it is chiefly
because factional inetficiency was pretty
deeply rooted.

homa as southern states, fourteen Under
wood votes came from the South.
Senator Smith, of Georgia, a southern
er, who is understood to regard the can
didacy of Underwood favorably, did not
vote, and Carter Glass, who has been ap-
pointed to the Senate from Virginia, was
not present. He has not yet taken his
seat. Glass is said to regard Underwood
as the proper man to lead the minority.
The caucus will meet again when the
two candidates can agree on date. I'm
less there is change in the situation in
the meantime, it looks very much as if
the southerners would elect their candi-
date, as they ought to do if the party is
to be directed by man representing the
group of states in which the Democrats
are in the majoEity.

KANSAS SETS THE PACE

THE lower house of the Kansas Legis-
! lature has passed Governor Aliens in
dustrial court bill and it is announced
that the upper house is likely to follow
the lead of the lower body.
This is a good beginning, and it is es-
pecially good for the reason that they are
calling the governors bill an anti-strike
measure. They are not mealy-mouthed
about the matter at all, because they
understand that the purpose of the bill
us to prevent the stopping of industry by
strikes and to substitute negotiation and
adjudication for violence in settling labor
disputes.
Kansas is setting the pace. The other
states cannot afford to lag behind in the
procession that is moving toward the
achievement of justice for the employed,
the employer and-best of all-for the

nounced ''life-ong" Republican, is not at
all dismayed by this recent record. He
proclaims that Mr.. Hoover's scintilla of
political preference inclines him to the
party which produced Taft and Roosevelt
and defines his Candidate" as a Progress
sive Republican who would have pre-
ferred Wilson to have been defeated in
1912. Later advices insist that the
former food administrator spells his
progressivism with a small "p," which
means that it is dispassionately large and
dispassionately liberal.
His PLATFORM" if political convention
compels us to use the word, is explicitly
expressed in his recent "Some Notes on
Industrial Reconstruction" written for
the Saturday Evening Post There is
great deal of sound economics in this ad-
mirabe treatise and particular emphasis
on his cardinal "plank" of "equal oppor
tunity." But of partisan politics not
glimmer is revealed!
To cap the climax, Mr.. Hoover is re-
ported, and probably correctly, to be ex-
ceedingly averse to entering the pres
idential race. His attitude does not sug-
gest the mock shyness of some previous
aspirants. Indeed, it is apparently so
sincere that not only the political leaders
but the people are forced to consider
themselves somewhat rebuked.
What will be the outcome cannot be
prognos+ic The hardshell elements
in both parties are doubtless both op-
posed to the nomination of Mr.. Hoover,
should popular pressure move him to
change his present determination. Much
depends on the keynote which the Repub-
icans will strike in their convention, the
first of the pair.
Should the "Old Guard prevail. Mr..
Hoover, according to Mr.. Barnes's horo-
scope, might be found in the rival ranks.
On the other hand, Democracy with big
I'D" would be likely to accept Mr.. Hoover
only with considerable pain.
In truth, should either party elect him,
its entity as Republican or Democratic
would be hard to outline. Politically, he
will "make' neither party and would be
apt in the partisan sense to complete it's
demise.
The air is charged with potentialities of
political paradoXes and sensations. For
the injection of novelty into the presiden-
tial contest, Herbert C. Hoover, who
hasn't lifted finger to advance his pros
poets, takes the amazing prize.

OF love and of laughter, of sorrow--all fiavors

The scent of the wild waves, the fragrance of
What sounds and what odors, and none of
them doled
Are blent with the romance of long vanished
That frightened Il world that is now grow
ing old.
THE wine of the Wind from the vineyard
Only the favorites of Fancy may drink -
And swift with its quaffng the bubbles of
rhyme
Leap to the brain from the charmed COB

The magical cup holds a wonderful vintage
Poets have drunk of it early and long.
Void of color a marvellous tintage
1t gives to the dreams of the children of
song.
The Wind hath distilled them and treas
Though lost in the silence they may be to you
For the singers of songs they are all in
the cup:
The shrieks of the drowning, the signing of
lovers.
The cry Of the new born, the laugh of the
bride.
The rattle of battle, the Poet discovers
And rawlings of lost souls within it abide.
A ND starlight and moonlight in islands
n afar,
And flowers that blossomcd and shattered
unknown:
| And fancies that merely to speak is to mar.
| That enter and dwell in.the heart all alone :;
| Prayers that only are uttered by tears,
Love that's too sacred for vowing to bind,
| And longings ineffable only God hears
A poet finds all in the Cup of the Wind.
