The Texas Troubles Waning.

1t begins to look as though Gov.
Ma" Ferguson would not be i'm
peached by the Texas Legislature for
alleged malfeasance in Office in connec-
ton with the letting OF State road
contracts. Although a sufficient num-
Der Of legislators have signed de-
mand for an extra session. and the
Speaker Of the House declares his
willingness to call such a session un-
summon the houses, there is doubt as
to the subscription Of the funds neces-
sary to finance the meeting. The fact
seems to be that the attorney general
of the State, who is emphatically op-
posed to the governor and her marital
power behind the throne. is doubtful
Of his ability as prosecutor to prove
such derelictions as to justify i'm
parchment. And 1t further appears
that the Senate, which would try the
case in the event Of impeachment. is
too strongly pro-Ferguson to promise
success in the venture. So as the
days go by and no call for the extra
session Is issued, the feeling increases
that there will be no trial. Some
hints are given of a disposition on the
part Of the Ferguson family to com
promise. Gov. Ma" will. 1t Is limited.
not continue to take orders from near
Gov. Pa" and the latter has prom
ised to be less active in the real work
of State administration. But, OF
course. nobody expects the Ferguson
family to be disunited on the subject
of State rule. Jim" as he is best
known throughout the State, will
probably continue to occupy a desk at
the statehouse in order to help Ma
with her work. The f1are-up has had
it's effect, however. 1t has made
known to the country at large. and.
Of course. intimately to Texans, the
true situation at Austin. Many Texans
who have not been partisan on the
Ferguson question have come to feel,
and have so expressed themselves,
that the election of the wife OF the
impeached and dismissed governor Of
a few years ago was a serious political
mistake The next election will be
held in November, 1926, and this pres
ent controversy, which IS now waning
from it's acute stage, will without
doubt be a material factor in the cam

A Back Yard Coal Mine.

Charles B. Zimmerman, a resident
of Shamokin, Pa. being in need of
fuel, decided to hunt for it on his own
premises. Shamokin is in the anthra-
cite district, and there is always a
chance of striking coal almost any.

yard and struck an outcropping of the
celebrated red-aSh vein. Now Mr..
Zimmerman is sitting pretty" quite
Indifferent to the question of how long
the strike will last or how high the
market goes. There is one thing in
his favor. 1t so happens that the
mineral rights in Mr.. Zimmerman s
section are owned by the lot holders.
This Is not the usual situation. Ordi-
narily throughout the anthracite re-
gion the mineral rights are separate

New York Traffic Deaths.

A New York bureau Of safety re-
port states that during the last IL
months 939 persons met death from
automobile accidents in that city,
compared to 96S in the same period
last year. A striking feature Of the
bulletin Is that the decrease in num-
Der OF fatalities is largely confined to
deaths of children. While only three
less adults have been killed during the
last eleven months, 26 fewer children
have been concerned in accidents.
The automobile is yearly exacting
huge toll in American lives. New
York, the largest city in the world.
with its 6,5Oo,OO0 population. is ex-
pected to have the highest death rate
but 1t creates a sickening sensation
when cold figures show that an aver
age Of almost three persons a day in
that city meet death through the me-
dium of the motor car.
Some comfort may be taken from
the report when the decrease in the
number Of children's deaths is consid-
more children We're registered in the
schools and the number Of automo-
biles have increased from 3S6. 900 TO
447 900, twenty-six less children were
killed.
If this decrease was brought about
through the public safety education
which is being taught throughout the
Nation in schools Of every character.
ii should be an indication to educators
that even more stress should be laid
on this important subject.
Motorists are prone to forget that
children of school age are not blessed
with the traffic judgment possessed by
their elders. Consequently a great
many accidents occur because children
run heedlessly into the street and au-
tomobile drivers are taken unawares.
However, Il steady policy of educa-
ton for the child during his school
days on the dangers of street traffic,
ist on careful driving where children
are concerned, may bring about an
even larger decrease
1t Is a tremendously important
problem and one that should have the
studious attention of every citizen in
every city in the world.

Russell H. ConWell.

A valuable life closed yesterday in
Philadelphia when Russell H. Con-
well died at the age of eighty-two. For
sc years he had been speaking be-
fore the public. with some inter-
ruptions, and probably in the course
of those years he addressed more peo-
pie than any other man. He had
memorized for his platform work no
less than % lectures, in the delivery
of which he used no notes That in it.
self was a gigantic mental task His
most famous lecture, Acres of Dia-
monds." he delivered 6,152 times, the
first time when he was sixteen years
old. In the course of his long career
as public speaker he had, It is esti-
mated, earned s11 ,00O, 900, practically
all Of which he spent upon philan-
thropies. He founded a university
which now gives instruction to 1000
students; he established two hospitals
and helped finance them. Though at
the age of seventy-nine he was still
earning $4,000 a year, he lived in the
most modest manner and was known
as the "penniless millionaire" His

which stipulate that pillars" Of rock

are apt to decay and yield to the pres

said that there is only one surely de-
pendable pillar of coal left underneath
the City Of Scranton, and that lies be-
low the chief church of that commu-
nifty. In the case of Mr.. Zimmerman
Of Shamokin, he. with his ownership
of mineral rights, has nothing to fear
from sappers and miners, unless his
rich vein of red ash is attacked from
below by trespasser. Mine robbers
have been known to ignore property
rights and lines. going boldly out in
all directions beneath the surface, fol-
lowing veins and trusting to luck to
get away with their operations. Just
at present Mr.. Zimmerman Of Shamo-
kin is probably not worrying about
trespassers so long as he can keep his
stoves going throughout the strike

which Mr.. Parks gives voice that
| much, perhaps most, of the support
for American adherence to the Perma-
| nent Court of International Justice is,
as it should be, "debunked." The pro-
! posed Hughes Harding Coolidge reser-
Vations are, as Mr.. Parks says, quite
innocuous. To favor adherence to
the court with these reservations and,
at the same time, to oppose such ad-
herence without them or even to op-
| pose full-f1edged membership by the
United States in the League of Ma
! tions Is entirely inconsistent. All true
| friends of the league, who favor Amer
| lean membership in the league, should
and do, therefore, support the pro-
poSal TO join the court with these res
ervations, for we all know, or ought
| to know. as Newton d. Baker has
siad, that when we have entered the
court we shall next, by the very
force of logic, enter the league. Any
| advocate of American membership in
| the League of Nations who cannot
whole -heartedly support these reserva
/ tons, 1t seems to me, is not conscious
of how really innocuous they are.
| AS for the independence of the
! league court, Mr.. Root, whom Mr..
Parks quotes, is quite right. The court
| IS independent OF the league in the
same way that the United States Su-
| preme Court is independent Of the
Government of the United States. No
| one will or can deny that our Supreme
Court is absolutely independent of our
! Government, and that in no way is
| 1t subject to control by the Govern
| ment. 1t is dependent only upon the
Constitution and the law of the land.
| The league court is dependent, not
upon the league, but upon the cove
nant of the league and upon the
| statute under which it was created by
| the league. In adhering to the court,
! the United States does not, at the out
| set, adhere to the league, Dut simply
| TO the covenant of the league and the
| statute upon which the life of the
| court rests. But membership in the
| league is the logical and inevitable
| next step, and pro-league Americans
| who are disposed to quibble over SO
| innocuous thing as the Hughes
! Harding Coolidge reservations do not
well serve the cause of American par
| ticipation in the affairs of the league.
