A DIsGRACEFUL INCIDENT.

The name of Representative Ford
ney was known in connection with
a long opening tariff bill. u Is now
more widely known in connection
with a disgraceful incident. On the
floor Of the House the other day Mr.
Fordney called ex-President Wilson
"a darned old fool,9 or compared
him with the schOolteacher the
schoolboys so described. which
amounts 10 the same thing At this
Characterization Of the man who fig
ured foremostly in this country's
greatest historical events members
on Mr.. Fordney's side Of the House
laughed and applauded before they
stopped to think. Happily the APP
plause was not general within the
ranks OF Mr.. Fordney's party Even
among political partisans, when not
lacking in intelligence. il is recog-
nized that there are limits which in
common decency the campaignes'
must observe or which he can over
step only at his own peril
The Philadelphia Public Ledger,
for instance, says there was an i'm
preston that FOrdney was respect
able and decent" but now in one
day he has torn il 10 pieces and scat
tered il TO the winds adding
president Harding, a far better pol
itician than Fordney. has had the
tact TO praise his predecessor. II
F0rdney finds many imitators. the
Republican vote next fall is likely 10
be diminished. for the number Of
citizens who vote their disgust in
stead Of their joy is always large.
And disgust is the only sentiment
Fordneys 'livcry-stable converse
ton. as Mr.. Connally aptly called
II, is likely 70 awaken. However
that may be, Fordney's coarse-mind-
ed Glowing has enabled his revolted
fellow citizens 20 take his measure,
and II il has any effect on ex-Presi-
dent Wilson, viii tend 20 create sym

EXTREMISTS REBUKED.

Il is said that Bishop Manning Of
New York has never been a prohibit
zionist and has no personal or moral
objections 20 drinking in moderation.
He does not speak an a partisan but
merely as good citizen and an &C.
clesiastic Of high standing when, re-
ferring 20 the common report that
the Volstead law is widely disre-
garded, and especially by those
whose wealth and position in the
community give them greatest in
fluence," he says:
prohibition Is now the law Of our
land Thise who disapprove this law
have the right 10 do so and 70 work
in lawful ways for its repeal. But
no citizen has the right 70 eyade or
disobey this law, and no one Of US
can do this without grave harm 70
himself and to the life Of our coun-
try"
This timely and exact statement
Of the truth Of the matter is an in
direct and needed rebuke 10 the ex-
tremists on both sides-those who
in action IL not in words, take the
position that they are not bound 10
obey a law Of which they disapproye,
and htose who denounce disapproval
Of the law and agitation looking to-
ward It's repeal as a sort Of treason
that should be punished The first
are wilful lawbreakers; the second
are advocates Of tyranny and des'
potism.

Swat the flies. The best way to swat them is
to prevent them coming into existence. You can
do that by keeping the premises clean. Do not
throw the scraps from the table in the back yard

that you can commit against your neighbor and you
should have respect for your neighbor than
that Keep the premises clean, prevail upon your
neighbors to do likewise and there will be no trouble

The people of Texas going to have to get Out
of that old rut. in matters Of education If they
ect to cope with the big educational institutions oil
the north and east The people of Texas are boost
ers of the free school system they have, but it is
falling down on what ii was intended to do, and
there is going to have to be money spent IN
building up the schools of this State if children
get what they deserve without having to be sent a
thousand miles away from home to get it. There is
enough money spent in the schools Of the East and
North to maintain mighty good school in Texas,
and even take our own little city How much mon
ey do you suppose is spent by people OF Lubbock

people would spend as much money the children
as they do on their fine horses hogs cattle and
automobiles, we could have a splendid educational
institution here aside from the free schools of the
city and county.

WHAT OTHERS SAY AND
HOW THEY SAY IT


on hand. most OF us would prob.
ably say yes. But when Secretary
Wallace tried 20 answer the question
In recent address before the Ma
tional League Of Women Voters he
made the statement that ~ u we're
possible 20 bring up prices Of every
thing 10 about 90 percent above the
pre-war level that would benefit
most Of our people and the nation
AZ large" Now there Is occasion for
wide difference Of opinion on this
point, the New York Evening Post
notes in discussing Mr.. Wallace's re-
mark And. In fact, the Secretary
OF Agriculture readily admitted this.
II seems 10 The Evening Posts fin
ancial editor that 10 bring prices up
to the level advocated by Mr.. Wal
lace would involve "a considerable
amount Of readjustment.
In the first place average prices
would be higher than they now are;
for nearly n year wholesale prices
have been fairly stable, Mt about so
percent above the pre-war level.
Again. the suggested plane Of desir-
able prices would mean a consider
able rise in prices Of farm products.
food and metals, and a considerable
drop in the price Of clothing, house
hold goods, fuel, and building ma
terials. Ones views as TO the desir-
ability of these changes will natur-
ally be governed largely by the de-
gree TO which they may promote 20
retard his own economic welfare. As
n general proposition, II may be said
that individuals with fixt incomes
from salaries and investments will
not welcome any suggestion Of a
higher level for average prices, while
farmers and producers Of metals and
any others whose prices are below
the general level as well rs the debt
or class generally, would welcome a
higher level. What is really needed
now is not higher prices or lower
prices, but more uniform prices as
between different groups, and then,
after uniformity. stability.

The diversified farming sections OF the State has
it on he one-crop folks in many ways, and that is
the reason that the South Plains section of the State
is so much better than any other section. II one
crop fails there is something else to tall back on.
n the wheat crop nunks there s still many other
things that will take its place, and make just as
much money for the farmer If the cotton fails
there are still other crops that make good We do
not have to wait year for the crop season to come
around again to get busy, and to make money OIL

some crop in the South Plains and then there is
the chickens and hogs and the dairy cows. the

The Court of Criminal Appeals has ruled that
the State Law holding that il is unlawful for motor
vehicle to be run more than 8 miles per hour over
public highways is indefinite and vague and there
fore cannot be enforced. We have often wondered
why in the world laws are written in such language
that they cannot be understood 1t seems to us that
the laws of the State should be written in such plain
and simple language that any person who can read
at all can understand them.
