me proposal Of the Southwestern Game and Fish
CONSERVATION Association. which met in San Antonio
enis week, that an effort be made to coordinate the
game conservation laws Of the Southern and South

sportsmen. The association appointed a committee to
formulate plans for coordination. and it is probable
tnat the matter will be referred to the legislatures of
several states and also to the federal government.
There is much conflict in the game conservation

ton, and as a result Of this condition the laws are to
q great extent nuIlified. Only by close cooperation Of
all Southern states can the conservation of wild lif.
be made effective. representatives at the meeting

sons are not scientifically adjusted, mad the result has
been a gradual decrease in the wild life of the South
ern states, a decrease which threatens extinction Of
many varieties Of game and fish formerly very
plentiful.
Texas is particularly interested in the coordination
plan. This state. formerly the haunt Of practically
every variety Of game, bird and animal indigenous TO
the plains and coast countries Of the United States,
with its streams and coastal waters teeming with fish,
is just awakening to the necessity Of conserving this
Wild life. Texas game laws are more rigid than those
OF other Southern states, but the maximum benefit Of
these laws cannot be derived until similar statutes are
enacted In adjoining states.

Southern Fight Amazes
New Workers

Tn. democratic women Of New York City have been
given an opportunity to see the kind of literature that
is being distributed throughout the South in connec-
ton with the anti-Smith campaign. A display, includ-
ing scores of leaflets. pamphlets, circulars and other
propaganda, all designed TO arouse religious prejudice,
was collected BY the Southern Women's Democratic or
raniration in New York City. Some Of the leaflets
were loaned BY Senator Pat Harrison and others were
collected By Mrs. winifrcd Nonidex, president of the
club, who made a tour through the Southern states for
that purpose. Many others we're supplied by Southern
friends Of the organization members who had received
them through the mails.
While practically all the propsg nds was devoted
"a attacks upon Governor Smith as a Catholic, some
Of the leaflets devoted a few paragraphs to a discus
sion of "white supremacy asserting that. Smith Is
pledged to appoint a negro member of the cabinet IN
return for negro support in New York. Chicago and
Philadelphia.
New York women profess to be amazed at what they
term absolute ~falsehoods and brazen efforts to arouse
religious prejudices."
"There can be no logical basis for protesting against
Governor Smiths well known stand on the prohioitioa
question:" one Of the organization leaders said. "Inat
/. a question Of public policy. and therefore Is open
n public discussion; but it is astounding that any or
SANITATION composed Of men and women claiming
American citizenship would wilfully circulate such
propaganda designed for the sole purpose Of arousins
religious prejudice"

New Orleans Times Picayune).
Texas is on the alert regarding the toll bridge prob
lem that, as is we'll known. In one of the Legislative
"actualities" in many commonwealths of our Union.
Just now the future Of toll bridges over the Red river
is prominent in our neighbor state, a recent dispatch
from Sherman reading in part as follows: Owners of
toll bridges over Red river face the alternative of sell
ing their property to the state, at replacement values
set at the recent hearing in Dallas, or seeing the state
install its own bridges" County Judge Carter said to-
day on his return from Austin. unless the toll bridge
owners agree to sell. the state will delay the construc-
tion of concrete highways from Denison to Red river
until its own bridges have been installed. The high
way department appropriated $4,000 to be used in
making surveys for new bridges in the event that an
agreement could not be reached
At the mentioned Dallas hearing. replacement value
of each of the Red river bridges was set at si25. 77907.
which figure, II is understood, the state is willing to
pay 10 the owners. The two highways from Denison
north to the river are the most important gateways into
Texas, mo. s. being a national highway.
Those sound like stern but promising methods ~
which Texas may recover control Of the freedom of her
highways. but we see no mention Of threatened harm
thereby to the states financial credit.

The World and All
A PIRATE WITH SWANK
By Charles r. Driscsll

Sir Francis Drake is a figure with universal appeal.
He is almost as popular among students as Sir Walter
Raleigh, who put his cloak down in the mud 50 that
the Vain Queen Elizabeth might not get the soles Of
her shoes muddy.
/ have just been reading "sir Francis Drake" by
Z. r. Benson. This Benson is a very talented and YER
satile Englishman. He has written some Of the most
entertaining novels and biographical books. The
Drake biography is one Of his most serious undertake
ings. II appears asfs worthy number Of the Golden
Hind series. published by Harper's.
Drake was a pirate all right, but when an English
man writes above Drake you can hardly expect him to
emphasize the piratical quality of his hero. Yet, why
not? / can't see any good reason for putting the
mufflers on the piratical character Of Drake, Frobish-
er, Hawkins, and other great British national heroes
who really were pirates.
Benson has done a scholarly job and a good writiag
job in writing about Drake. He has g~lorified Drake
at the expense Of Queen Elizabeth. IL you enter into
the spirit Of the Benson narrative, you love Drake, but
you don't think much Of Elizabeth, who IL revealed as
a dishonest, small-souled, selfish, grasping, ~two-faced
vacillating. incompetent woman. Elizabeth took shares
in brakes pirate expeditions, and demanded her share
Of the spoils when there were any spoils, but she was
always ready to r~epudiate Drake and lie out Of her
share in the piracies.
A pirate can be nobler than a queen sometimes. and
certainly Drake appears as nobleman OF high quality
when you stand him beside his queen. But the trouble
is to discover either the true queen or the true pirate
under the innumerable coats Of vhitewssh and varnish
that have been applied by historians and story-teilers
during three centuries. Id like to see some varnish
remover s~killfully applied to Drake and Elizabeth.
Here's one more job awaiting a good modern
biographer.
