 Eenea1e

New York. Feb. 21.-R>-1he modern woman is stumbling over herself in her haste to- be, modern. but soon she will realize that ''the best way is to stand up straight and pick her course slowly and surely"
 That is the statement of Dona Isabel de Palencia, leader among women in Spain, who Is in this coun- try for lecture tour. She has im- plicit faith in womankind, but de- plores it's haste.
 "Women today and particularly the women of America are so eXcit- ed about having their independence. their vote, their business jobs, their political appointments, that they forget that they have other things 10 do also.
 And they arc apt 10 forget that, after all, only q woman can be q mother and a homem"ker." Sonora dc Palencia sees in the fu- ture q well-regulated woman who can have her children and also keep abreast of the times intellectually and politically. She herself is respon- ,, sible for the establishment Of the first woman's club in Spain, which is now concluding it's first year. The club idea has taken a great hold up- on the women Of her country, slo says. and the movement is gradually spreading to cities other than Mad , rid.

SELF SERVICE.

Many good folks are lament .ng the passing of the era when men and women conse- rated their lives to unselfish ;ervice and prepared them elves to become ministers, mis- ionaries, teachers or country doctors that they might ad- minister to the spiritual, men, al and physical needs of hu- nanity without thought of arge worldly gain. They are lot in error when they charge hat modern men and women Ire chooisng vacations today n which they can do the greatest service to themselves. People today are coming to he belief that the best way hey can help others is to pro- luce much that their profit hall be large and that they hall never become dependent lpon society. The old idea of :ervice was direct. The new ervice is indirect. Twenty ears ago it was still thought hat only ministers, doctors md teachers served humanity. Today every workman who ;arries his whole days wage nome is known to have earn ad that wage in service to so- ,iety.

LEADERS IN NAME ONLY.

There is a continuous obligat. ion owed by every individua. to the community and especial ly by those most favored by fortune. Enlightened self-in- terest should quicken accept ance of the obligation. There is hardly room for argument that what is good for the com. munity is, broadly considered good for the individual in his work. Conversely, what k good for the individual in the best sense is good for every other man, woman and chile in the community.

Politicians and of ficeholders, regardless of wha they may say in their cam paigns, are mostly concerned with getting into office anG staying in. That is why they are in politics. They are il politics to get into office or to have a hand in putting others in office, as other men and women are in business or pro fessions to make money or a career, or both.

that trunk line railroads were en-
titled 10 increases Of Is per cent over
the present compensation 70 become
effective August !.
The petitions for the increase hav-
ing been filed in July, 1925, the COM
mission ruled that the carriers would
be entitled to collect the new rates
from that time. Independent short
lines operating over distances Of un-
der 100 miles were granted an in
crease az 80 per cent over their pres
ent compensation, but the commits
sion refused 70 allow n change in the
system Of making mail rates and de-
MED a railroad proposal to group
such charges By territory. Some
minor changes were made in the
present methods Of calculating tht

scented in part or in whole from the

Must Get Court Order
For Place or Run
Off Ballot

The name Of Thomas b. Love of
Dallas, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, will not be printed on the run
off ballots in Cameron county unless
the decision Of the fourth court OF
civil appeals is reversed by the su-
preme court.
A statement to this effect was made
Monday by Judge Nolney W. Taylor,
Cameron county democratic chairman,
following the announcement that Bar
~ Miller was leading in the race for
the lieutenant governorship, with
Lovei n second place.
Cameron Co~-+- unofficial returns
show that SIS voters wrote in the
name Of Love on the ballot in the
Saturday primaries.
"The decision Of the fourth court
Of appeals still holds" Mr.. Taylor
said. "anud the same of Mr.. Love will
not be printed Cn the ruH-off primary
ballot unless ordered by the court"
Mr.. Taylor express ed the opinion
that similar action would be taken by
a number Of other counties in the
event the state committee should
certify the name Of Love 20 the ccun-
" committees.
J. d. Parnell Of Fort Worth Is third
on the list, according TO the unof-
fetal returns, and it is understood
he will inaugurate a contest 20 elm
mate Love from the run-off, and In
the event this succeeds he will be
Barry Miller's opponent.
While the legal phases are not
clear, it is probable that the state
committee will be called upon to take
action. II is believed that in view OF
the decision in the Cameron county
case, the state committee may refuse
70 certify Love as a democrat. Re
ports prior 10 the election were ~

Of the state committee would oppose
