A Picture of Moody

Dan Moody not only led the field
in his race for the Democratic gu
bernatorial nomination in Texas, as
1 suggested. II but he did better. 1t
now looks as though ne had obtained
a clear majority and that there will
be no need of a second primary.
In this connection I wish to cor.
rect an insinuation that I have seen
in several eastern and northern pa
pers. Dan Moody is not, and never
was, the Ku-KlDx Khan choice for
Governor. He has no sympathy with
that organization.
AS a matter of record he won pop
ularity and became attorney general
of Texas by his vigorous and sue
cessful prosecution or Khan out
RACES.
Neither is he wild and little" as
one headliner puts it, btu Fl two listed
siX-footer, with red hair and the
rugged faith, deliberate courage and
charming illusions Of country boy.

THEY STILL ARE BROTHERS

They tried the Scott brothers, Russell and Rob
ert in Chicago for the murder of drug store clerk
during robbery. At first Robert Scott pleaded
guilty, then he fought the case and in open court,
denied that he had fired the shot that killed the man
Russell Scott was tried. He was sentenced to
be hanged. Robert Scott, following his denial and
trial. was sentenced to life imprisonment With that
sentence pronounced, Robert the other day issued a
statement saying that it he, after ALL who had
fired the fatal shot.
Russell, thus, under sentence to hang, is thrown
upon executive cemency Under such circumstances
just what is Governor supposed to do? The man
who says he is guilty of the murder is under life
sentence; his brother, whom his statement exon
crates, is doomed to hang.
These Scott boys are not bit like Cain and
Abel

The ViIeSt City

Speaking of civic righteousness,
the Rockefeller investigation finds
that Detroit is the "vilest city in the
United States
If this is good news for the Rotary
clubs and chambers Of commerce in
other towns it is bad for the reform
ers in other towns.
There is a professional complex
on both sides Of the picture.
Uplifters have to proclaim that
each town is the worst in order to
promote their business, while com
merciail organizations are inclined to
see II 'the other way.
Fifteen thousand blind pigs. 500
disorderly houses and a bucket of
dope each day is Detroit's contribu-
ton to the evil side Of life-I think
we may look for speedy denials.

Tracy
There Is PathoS in Being
z the Son of a Great
Man.
BY N. e. Tracy

Robert T. Lincoln, who died yester-
day, had been secretary of war,
minister to England and president of
the Pullman company.
The average man would be re-
garded as having made a name for
himself through the attainment of
such honors, but not Abraham
Lincoln's son.
His fathers overshadowing great
ness was more than enough to OBJ
literate them.
1t followed him through life and it
will cling to his memory as long as
that memory lasts.
II am not great man." he used
to say, when asked for a public ex-
preston Of his opinion on any sub
ject, but only the son of a great
man."
If your first thought is of how
wonderful such a heritage must be,
your second will reveal its pathos.
Sons Of great men are never per-
mitted to grow up. That is one rea-
son and the chief reason, perhaps.
why so few of them ever become
great on their own account.

George Bernard Shaw was seventy vesterd

George BERNARD Shaw was seventy yesterday.
In describing his arrival at three score and ten
the newspaper correspondents stress the fact that he
has been much mellowed by the years.
Where the flaming radical once scoffed and
rallied, they say he smiles indulgenty
At 70, however, Shaw is not changed in one
tremendously important particular He still insists
upon the privilege of free expression of his ideas
of which he has abundant and sparkling supply
AT his birthday party it was proposed that his
remarks be broadcast. The British Broadcasting
Company which controls that activity in England,
liked the idea. Shaws remarks are almost sure to
be interesting. The company, however, set down

Hold Your Temper

1t is natural, of course. for us to
resent Europe's attitude. especially
as it is being expressed by hoodlums
and politicians, but we have every
thing to lose, and nothing to gain,
by display of equally ill-considered
temper.
The most of us refuse to believe
that our Government has done
things to merit such childish out
bursts, of, if it has, that there is any
justice in visiting them on helpless
tourists.
But if any people can afford to be
patient, we can, and If there is one
way more convincing than another

ship at this time, it is by display Of
Superior poise.

Bernhard never played this role,

great theatrical acting and made it
