OFFICE PUBLIC TRUST.
The judge sharply rebuked those
who regarded a public office as a
private snap" declaring "a public
office is a public trust, and. when men
look upon public offices as private
snaps, they are betraying their trust.
A public officer should handle the
business of the public as carefully rs
he would his own. weighing every con-

officers fail to regard a public office
as public trust, our government eau
not function properly"

G.0.PC0NTROLs
CONGRESS-
! OPENING Fl

WASHINGTON. Dec. Z. - up
Congress came back.into session today,
after its longest races in years.
With the opening ceremonies at
noon the Big Republican majorities
rolled mp in the Coolidge landslide of
1924, took the saddle in both Senate
and House but kept weather eye on
the Democrats and insurgents who
again were threatening a coalition
against some of the pct projects of the
administration. ~-,
With almost a m,d-session momen-
tum the House put the new tax redis-
count bill OF the head of its calendar
and prepared to go to work at once.
Meantime the Senate, after its Gus
tomary manner, was organizing leis-
urely ana putting off its day Of deci7
sion regarding the recognition to be
given Republican insurgents on its
big committees.
In the House that issue had been
set down with the revolt of the Wis
consin delegates against the party
slate of House officials. ~
VOTES TO SPARE.
But even without their help. the
Republican organization had votes to
spare for election to the. speakership
of Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, SON.
in-law of Theodore Roosevelt, and Re
publican floor leader in the last ses-
sion.
Introduction Of big bills was not in
order in the Senat. during its brief
session, but hundreds Of legislative
proposals were showered down on the
desk OF the clerk Of the House.
Among them were suggested solu
tons for most of the major issues now
before the country. including the prob
lem of prohibition. Representative
Hill, Republican, Maryland, proposed
in formal resolution, to dispose of
the prohibition question by repeating
the eighteenth amendment.
WOMEN PRESENT.
The three women members of the

Z ODGE also conveyed an appalling
Il idea of our own suns bigness,,
Small in Size compared with other
giants in space, our sun is big enough
tho throw off into space 100000
tons Of its substance every second"
And so gigantic is the suns size, one
million times greater than our earth,
that after throwing off 100000
tons of weight every second for one,
hundred and fifty billion years, the
sun will have lost only one per cent
OF its substance.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-07

TO meet the weight Of the sun,
i according to Lodge, multiply A.
900, 900 tons by the number of sec
onds in $50 billion years and add two
zcroes to the total.
It's big universe, and man, small
and insignificant, may be proud TINT
he can even look at it,. and under
stand little about it.

THAT settles that. and the Alice

into the big closet for skeletons, and
some other skeleton will be brought
forth.
A gentleman from Mars where
they may all be Of ona breed, might
be amazed at the public interest lin
such a marriage, showing that race
prejudice is more powerful than any
feeling, except international hatred.
But natures wisdom is in it, Of
course. 1t took thousands of CEN
turtles to produce a white man. The
white man sincerely appreciates him
self, wants to stay. white and it's
we'll for the race that he does.
The betting was five to one that
the jury would decide against the
woman "anyhow," but the decision
went the other way, and those that
bet to OH an unfair decision lost.

After comforting here, Mr.. Klasins
left for Mexico City where he will
meet government and railroad Off
Gals to negotiate a deal to equip
freight cars on the Mexican railroads
with his brake.
Extensive repairs and overhauling
of Mexican rolling stock. he said, will
begin shortly and he feels confident
the remodeled cars will be equip
