HOW MAYFIELD WAS ELECTEl

HOW MAYFIELD WAS ELECTED
Be ones opinion of the new Ku
Klux Klan what it may, the Klan's
preference for Earle Mayfield to
James Fergusan, in the contest for
United States senator in Texas, is
undeniably to it's credit. Ferguson
was governor of Texas, but was not
allowed to complete his term Of Of
flee. Despite the exceeding difficulty
of impeaching governor, once he is
elected, Ferguson's behavior was 20
offensive to decent public opinion IN
Texas that the legislature did i'm
peach him. If the Ku Klux Klan wa
to be opposed, it was most unfortu-
nate that Ferguson was projected as
the foremost champion of those 10
whom its principles and policies are
repugnant.
Mr.. Mayfield's candidacy had the
Endorsement of the Anti-Saloor
League and it is highly probable that
the influence of that organization III
his behalf was more effective thar
was that Of the Ku klux. Ferguson
advocated amendment of the prohib!
ton laws to permit the manufacture
and sale of light wine and beer. Per
haps, to most of the better people Of
Texas, that meant light covering fo1
bootlegglng. A light wine and bee!
platform will not command respect IN
political contest in a Southern state
unless its defender shall be q man
above suspicion Of sympathy for an
affiliation with bootleggers and moon-
shine distillers. Seriously as many 4
good citizen might believe in modif,
ing the prohibition statutes, not ore
would espouse the cause with Fergu-
son al the head of movement in its
favor.

League and the Ku Klux klan hav I.
been in luck. Opposition to them could
hardly nope for. success so long as it
was connected with the candidacy Of

Gas Systems
Would Save Waste

Toxic, July 15.-The people Of To-
kio, according to Baron Goto, the pro-
gressive mayor Of the city, waste ap-
proximately 100000 yen yearly in
fuel which might be saved by the es-
tablishment of an up-to-date gas sys-
tenn. This was explained by the
mayor at the Inauguration meeting Of
the Toxic Municipal research bureau
which has been organized with a view
of securing an Improvement in mu-
ricipal utilities, and, in the words of
the mayor, "make Toxic the model
city cf Japan
T he present gas plants, according
to the mayor, are not giving the ser7'-
ice which the people have a right 70
demand and he proposed that all of
them be taken over by the city. "If
anyone" said Mayor Goto, discussed
the adjustment of high prices without
studying the volume and cost Of fuel
consumed by the people of Toxic, he
would be making the mistake Of put
ting the cart before the horse.
According to the estimate now
available the people Of Toxic annually
consume at their homes: .17,420,000
sacks of charcoal valued 42,600,000
yen; 81 100000 kwan of wood, valued
at 5,850,000 yen and producing $780,
3O0,00O,OO0 calories Of heat; 100000
tons of coal and 10000 tons of coke"
This, he claimed, could be replaced
by gas at a cost of 33,75O,0OO yen
while the forests of the country would
also be saved from the charcoal burn"
