gate the rel; of terror"
Following a quiet Investigation. the
governor shocked the country by hay-
ing it announced from his office that
more than 1000 flogglngs had occurred
in the state within two years, and. if
there were any more, he would give
the local authorities an opportunity to
prosecute, but, if they failed, he would
assume control.
Floggings occurred in Okmulgee al
most Immediately and. after an ulti-
matum to the local officials to get ac-
ton, troops were sent to the county.
The governor, on obtaining guarantees
that there would be no more floggings,
withdrew the troops.
Woman Kidnapped by Mob.
A month ago, despite warnings, fog
gings took place in Tulsa county. A
woman was kidnapped and brutally
treated by a mob. Troops moved into
the city, ard have enforced the strict
est military rule since.
A ragid military court OF inquiry
was established to get to the basic
facts and the "higher ups" in the
whippings.
Although the Ku Klux Khan denied
any knowledge of the whippings and
has yet refused to take any response
bility for the situation in the county,
several men who admitted membership
in the khan confessed to participation
in whipping parties" Each was SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment.
The governor then demanded the Of

and who, he declared. were dominated
by the khan, resign. They refused,

other community, he would place the
entire state under military rule.

opinion of the governor, were COM

out his threat. he placed that city
and Greek county under absolute
martial law tonight, extending the

JUNIOR HIGHS ARE
CREATING INTEREST
AMONG PUPILS HERE
Radical Reorganization Of
Public Schools Nearly
Completed.

With one week of the fall term hav-
ing elapsed, the seeming chaos from
the viewpoint of the pupil and the
teacher, that has been wrought by
the radical reorganization of the San
Antonio public school system, has
been transformed into order or near
ly SO. as the pupils and the teach
ers have become accustomed to the
change, according to reports made by
school administrative officers. Tabu-
lation of enrolment figures has been
delayed by the unusual amount of
shifting about of pupils and the be-
lated enrolment of others.
Since they are an innovation in San
Antonio, the junior high schools are
receiving the largest measure of in
terest. By the introduction of the
junior high school plan, the public
school system is now divided INTO
three divisions, each division of which,
school board officials say, will be con-
Quoted along lines that progress IN the
educational world has revealed are the
most efficient for the handling Of pu-
pills of those ages that fall within
the respective divisions.
One of the chief innovations for
which the junior high school idea is
responsible, is the offering of the
course in social science. In this
course. the individual is regarded as
the center, and as he becomes familiar
with himself and his community, the
interest grows until it includes the
nation and the world. In the social
science course, geography, history. for
NAL and community civics are taught,
not as separate subjects, but as an
incorporate part of the general course.
1.-THE theory of the social science
course" Walter Cooking, director of
the junior high school division. ex-
planned, lis that the interest of the
pupil should be cultivated in San An
tonio-that he should know something
of the history, geography and COM
and formal civics of this city,
before he studies OF other lands or
even the nation. As he learns some
thing of San Antonio, the interest ex-
pands to include the state, the ma
ton and, finally. other countries"

RANGER LAW INVALID,
! SAYS AN ATTORNEY
CONTINUED from page one.)

use of the state militia, and not other
wise. 1t is indeed hardly possible to
conceive that the voters, who adopted
this constitution, being jealous of their
right and deeply impressed with ira
ditional antipathy against irrespon-
sible power, would have done so on
any other understanding. Our consti-
tuition cannot be understood or carried
out at all, except on the theory or To-
cal self government, and the intention
to preserve it is quite apparent. The
constitution itself provides for local
peace officers, and they are to be elect
ed by local action and not appointed
by the governor"
Involves Fourteenth Amendment.
Taking up the question of the Fed
eral Constitution, Mr.. Chaplin declar-
ed: Il maintain that the law author
izing the organization of the ranger
force violates the equality clause of
the fourteenth amendment, in that the
Texas laws require the sheriff to give
{ bond for the faithful discharge of his
duties, whereas the act of the Legis-
lature in question confers on the rang
ers co-extensive duties with the sheriff
and requires no bond"
Granting that the Legislature is
omnipotent, unless restrained by some
express provision of the constitution,
or some clearly implied restriction"
Mr.. Chaplin said in conclusion, yet
it occurs that we not only have a
strong implied inhibition against the
appointment of rangers, but out con-
stitution furnishes express prohibition
as against this authority. 1t must be
remembered that the governor is a
mere executive officer and his author
ity is narrowly limited by the consti-
tuition with no underlined or disputable
prerogatives. In other words, the gov
ernor has no power other than that
granted to him by the constitution. 1t
is true that it enjoins upon him the
duty to see that the laws are faith
fully executed. but it outlines to him
the mode and manner by which he
shall carry out that duty"
Duties Are Defined.
1T empowers him TO call forth the
militia to execute the laws of the
state and the Legislature of Texas
placed its legislative construction on
that constitutional mandate when, it
enacted Article 5S31 of our Revised
Statutes, which reads:
Governor may call militia, when
When an invasion Of, or an insur-
rection in this state is made or threat
ened, or when the governor may deem
1t necessary for the enforcement of the
laws Of this state, he shall call forth
! the active militia, or any part thereof,
to repel, suppress, or enforce the same,
and IL the number available is insult
ficient he shall order out such part
of the reserve militia as he may deem
necessary
"That. and no more, is the power
Of the governor of this state in re-
gard to the enforcement of the law"
