admits the possibility OF unjust judg-
ment on the part of the attorney general,
but expresses the conviction that an ac-
cused officials alleged misconduct would
be so fragrant, and his guilt so nearly
obvious, that the chances of injustics
being wrought through the medium of
the proposed laws enforcement would be
minimized almost to the vanishing point.
In that case-if the attorney general
would act only in cases wherein the
accused officers guilt was matter of
common knowledge and the degree there
OF was rather extreme than moderate
wouldn't the people OF his own county
proceed against him long before the mat
ter had reached the attorney generals
attention? To contend that they would
not file charges against him, and thus
bring him to trial under existing sta
tutes, would be to question their fitness
for sclf-government
Who would file the charges? Why,
the same people who, under the pro-
visions OF the quo warranto BILL would
furnish the attorney general with the
evidence upon which he would proceed
Then why should the attorney general
be rung in at all For no reason--cx-
cept to interfere with the natural pro-
cesses of local self-government. AS a
matter of highly practical fact, a vitality
important facility of sclf-governmcnt is
afforded by the very process which the
quo warranto bill would place under the
control OF the attorney general A COM
munity cannot be sef-governing in the
practical sense if it surrenders the right
of prosecution to a nonresident. When
the people OF a county elect their Off

trials and to assess punishments. If
they do not do those things-all OF them
but must run to some nominallv su-
pcror official who is not one OF them
selves. every time they want to accuse
any of their local officers of malfeasance
or worse, then they are not really self
governing.

but he was a handsome figure of a
man, slim-hipped, tall, easy as a youth
born.
As Val wove in and out among the
dancers her keen eyes were taking in
all there was to see-the dresses of the
women, the good dancers among the
men, the prettiest girls.
Like a flame. like a flower, like
something full-charged with life and
beauty, Lolo Sanchez swept and drift
ed this way and that, brilliant as fire
IN her scarlet and black, and she, too,
wore a deep red rose behind her lit
tie ear. For some unaccountable rea-
son, half unconsciously, Val Harmon
raised hand little later and pulling
the bud from her own * hair,
dropped it unseen in a corner.
A polka followed the waltz, and a
schottische the polka. and once more
square dance, and Val parcelled
them painstakingly among her own
cohort-after which the Texas boy was
promptly at her elbow with his soft
eyes and his softer voice.
Perly and Rosy and Stiff and Dirk,
all in the full tide of the celebration,
each had him a lady and went to it"
with the vigor stored from six months
hard work on the range.
Rosy and Stiff were known to "cut
it high, wide and handsome" upon oc-
casion, but when John Harmon sent
his daughter forth in their midst they
neither looked at. smelled nor tasted
the customary refreshment of the re-
gion.
After the first number Briston had
gone back to the horses and sent Dirk
to the merrymaking. The boz had pro-
tested but the foreman pushed him out
with a friendly hand on his shoulder.
Late in the night, in the cool short
hours, a group of horsemen rode in
from the open levels and tied their
mounts well out among the cotton
woods at the west. A little later new
faces appeared among the crowd that
surged in and out of the door at Hun
newell's. Sharp, alert faces they were,
every one. their keen eyes moving un-
der their hat -brims with quiet watch
fulness.

THEY EXPOSE THEMSELVES

In attempting to show that the quo
warranto bill, one OF Governor Neff's
pet measures, is not subject to the ad-
verse criticism which Representative
Hardin of Kaufman county recently
made OF it, some Of its advocates have
argued themselves into a weaker posi-
ton than the one they formerly occupied.
Representative Hardin is quoted is
saying that the bills authors and SIP
porters are trying to maintain the propo-
sition that "the people should have the
authority to put a man in office, but
that some man in Austin should have the
authority to put him out OF office"
ITO attribute that purpose or effect
to the bill" says one of its friends, as
to make one OF those distortions which
reveal the want of adequate reason for
opposing it." Apply the same test to
the opponents of the measure-or LET
them apply the test TO themselves, in
their own language.
First, though, recognize the fact that
the provisions of the quo warranto bill
are not. as drastic as were those OF the
first measure of that nature WHICH Gov.
ernor Neff demanded that the Legisla
ture enact. The one which failed o.
passage at the recent regular session
and which the governor is expected tc
resubmit at the special session beginning
April 10; does not, indeed, provide spe
officially that any imam at Austin" shall
have the authority to Gust from office
any person elected thereto by the voter,
OF his county. What it docs propose i
that the attorney general be authorize;
to institute suit for the removal OF Off
GERS if he should be convinced by evi
dence presented to him that they hat
been or were wilfully or corruptly con
niving at the violation of any law o
laws in the penal code. In other word:
it is the ostensible object OF the bi

WHEN MEN ARE DEAD

Press reports recently have carried
extensive notices of experiments with
adrcnalin, substance from the adrenal
glands, which. when injected directly
into the heart with hypodermic needle
is said TO restore life to dead men.
A number OF cases are of record
where use Of this substance has revived
patients apparently lifeless for as long
a>pcriod as one-half hour. Likewise il
has raised the question OF. whether il
is possible really to restore life aftei
death.
All of which leads to complication
that ought TO prove highly interestNp,

SEEKING FUN AND MISSING IT

A cartoonist, inspired by reports of
the endurance records that have been
rapidly made and as rapidly broken by
dancers, has drawn some pictures repre-
senting few of the pertinent questions
which many old-timers, no doubt, have
been turning over in their minds of late.
The characters are of the sex whose
members used to be regarded as indis-
pensable to home-making, but whose
proper sphere is regarded nowadays by
some as anywhere but home.
In one of the pictures two women are
washing dishes in whirlwind fashion--;f
it was the fashion for whirlwinds to
wash dishes. Their occupation is sug-
gested as good field for aspirants to
championships.
In another picture a woman is cleaning
house as though her life depended upon
it. She is participating in contest the
winner of which-so one reads between
the pen scratches-will get medal or
something.
Baby-bathing is another task that
might excite the ambitious to friendly
rivalry. Who is the fastest at that great
Indoor SPORT"
Still another of the inexhaustible pos
sibilities/for those who can't live with
out rivalry is recommended by cartoon
of a woman who is sewing buttons on
a pair of trousers as though she were
competing with wartime riveter.
The concluding cartoon of the series
bears, as caption for a superlatively
spirited scene, this innocent, simple ques.
ton: "And why not a sock-darning
race?"
Why not? Old-timers can answer
that. They will say that the kind OF
rivalry represented by the pictures is
not the kind in which the prize is cheap
notoriety. There are certain sports that
are wholesomely stimulated by offers
of awards for the greatest proficiency
4 But they are true sports-games and
activities which within themselves arc
stimulative of qualities which make men
manly and women womanly.
1t does not require somber, crepe.
hanging disposition to recognize and
appreciate the distinction thus indicated
One does not have to be abnormally
seriors-minded to prefer things that. are
worth while to things that are not, or
to define the former in terms of objects
and achievements which are the products
and expressions of purposefulness.
Frivolity has its place in life, but il
is easily overdone and carried to ex-
trcmes. Whenever it becomes the domi.
nant factor in ones life, it is extremely
doubtful if that person can get as much
enjoyment out of existence as do those
who resort to frivolity to give variety
and consequently spice, to human affairs

| it. As an abstract proposition, man
is not dead until he is dead and when
he is dead he is not alive. Hence il he
is really once dead, assuredly he can not
be resuscitated by adrenalin Nor any
thing else. If he can be so resuscitated
then he never was really dead although
he might have died eventually it not
resuscitated by this method.
That seems to be a simple enough
proposition but it then raises the point
what is death: 1t is on that score that
argument will wax furious. Just when
person really is dead. is something
that has been defined incidentally and
legally, but with the use of such stimu-
lants as adrenalin may have TO be re-
vised both by the doctors and by the
courts. Death usually is held to be
present when there is suspended ANNA
ton, complete loss of control of all func-
tons of the BODY and absence of heart
or pulse action. Yet there is no question
that if that constitutes death. then by
use OF adrcnalin. men have been restored
to life Likewise it is not impossible
that il that constitutes death. very
large number of people at one time
or another, have been buried alive. as
proven by the adrenain treatment Not
that they ever knew it of course. because
in due process the condition continued
until all life was extinct.
Usually a person is not buried until
rigor morris has set in. a stiffening of
the muscles and hardening of the flesh.
coagulation of the blood and non-flcxing
of the joints of the body. But at least
one authority on the subject holds that
the person is not really dead until dis
indignation of the tissues has begun
which usually is preceded by discolora
ton OF the skin.
Much depends on the nature of the
cause OF death. Most assuredly a man
shot through the heart with bullet
is dead, almost instantly and for all
time. A quart of adrenalin wouldn't
revive him. Likewise the man who dies
from some chronic ailment which para
lyzes heart action and circulation OF
blood is also dead beyond recall. But
adrenalin may restore bodily functions
in such cases only, as arc not entirely
devoid of all life and where no violence
or chronic ailment has brought about
death.
While there arc numerous cases no
doubt, wherein adrenalin may prove the
sole method OF saving the patient from
death, the probabilities are that in gen.
eral, this powerful heart stimulant will
be chiefly interesting to the medical
fraternity from the standpoint OF expert
mertation.
In so far however. as ability to put
life back in the corpse, once all life has
departed. the medical profession is not
likely to waste much time with adrenain.
The cases being cited however, bear
with them a warming to the average
physician to be very cautious in signing
a death certificate until he is positive
that all life has left the body. 1t not
infrequently happens that after all bodily
functions apparently have ceased. there is
still infinitesimal life present for as much
as half an hour. The tiny spark flickers
and wanes but sometimes it holds on
pitifully long before it finally goes out.

YOUTHFUL AT EIGHTY-FOUR

Even anticipation of old age ties the
hands OF some people. They cross the
bridge of lifes decline before they get
10 it. They exaggeratc the importance
OF youth, and vet do not take full adj
vantage OF youths opportunities. They
magnify the obstacles of post-maturity,
and do nothing to overcome them when
they actually appear-and in such cases,
naturally. they appear carly.
All the world loves person who never
drives from his nature the spirit of
youth. To remain youthful in spirit
throughout ones life is to retain some
illusions, OF course. But without some
illusions life would be mournful. indeed.
So, the world will take off its hat to

this Wyoming homesteader is not a man.

Mrs. Rebecca Wood was "a years old
when she turned her steps westward in
search of home. In the comparatively
new country that has been suggestive
OF youth and youths dreams since other
sections became densely populated. she

West'-and claimed it. under the law
as her own. She would raise cattle on
that grazing land. What! at "a? Rather
late it was for her to establish home
especially in such an undevcloped re-
gion. But the prospect pleased her, and
she had the ambition and the enthusiasm
to follow it. Perhaps she would not live
TO see the land transferred into a smiling
garden. but she would know content
