Gaining hundreds of friends daily the cam
pagn of Miles Poindexter for United States
senator is assuming aspect of certainty. The
many west side votes are swing ng to him be-
cause it is logical that senator come from
the east side and friends of Senator Wesley L.
Jones scent the danger to him through the selec-
ton of another west side man, for, of certain
ty, should the east side fail this year it will bend
the efforts of the next four years to secure the
senatorshp regardless of the esteem in which it
holds Senator Jones' and he would have to go
into the discard despite his service to the state
and his friends in the ranks of the forward look
ing citizens who apprec iate the work he has
done. The prohibition fight will last several
years and Senator Jones will be needed in the
senate. Mr.. Poindexter's election assures the
reelection of Senator Jones.
Mr.. Poindexter voted on Prohibition Is times
while in Congress and every time he voted in
its favor Even before Washington went dry
he went to Olympia to urge prohibition. His
past record shows that he will do the RIGHT thing
should any attempt be made to weaken the 18th
amendr'ent With a nat'oral and international
reputation for craftsmanship he is leader WIN
will bring recogn ton to Washington which will
aid in securing the development of the Columbia
BASIN and other big activities of the state.
Thomas Cookery, candidate for Congress is
taking little tine his busy campaign to pro-
rota practical idealism. He does not want the
children of the district which he hopes to repre-
sent in Congress to grow up ignorant of what
virgin timber looks like and is urging that where
ever possible big trees, especially on the out
skirts of the ety. be preserved. Along many
of highways timber which would add so
much to the beauty of the landscape has been
ruthlessly slaughtered and he believes that wo-
men can do n far reaching work in their clubs

the strong support gwen French by organized

The nomination of French is entering the
final weeks of the contest stronger better organ

French carried 2G counties in 1924, but lost
King county by a large vote. He will win in

Political Mail

Oi -o'ooo'oOo pieces Of political mail. the bulk Of
""en emanated from ~anti-smith headquarters. has
- sent to Texas voters. according to an estimate
rom democratic state headquarters Friday. The anti.
smith headquarters at Dallas and Houston are said 10
:" distributed over 100000 pieces, the republican
'"e headquarters approximately 100000 and demo.
cratic headquarters has distributed something like
100000. ~ -
= close scrutiny has been maintained BY democratic
managers over opposition literature, and about fifty
inherent samples Of that distributed in Texas has
peeh sent to national headquarters, which some time
ago requested that all such literature bearing anti
Catholic animus be sent them. Photostatic comics 81
thia literature j. being distributed by the democrats
IN the North to prove to democrats and republicans
alike the Kind Of campaign the republicans are wariny
IN the South. Hundreds Of thousands Of copies Of the
antl-Cathclie pamphlets distributed in the South n
behalf Of the Hoover campaign have been placed where
they will do the democratic party the most good in the
North ard East, and in this respect the anti Catholic
campaign Is expected to prove something Of a boom
erang.
According to Leonard Wilmington. republican cam
paign manager for Texas, about 100000 buttons
posters. Lapel bars and thimbleS have been sent out
Approximately 100000 sample ballots Of the straight
republican ticket have been distributed, and approx
mately 100000 sample ballots OF the ticket split for
republican presidential electors and democratic state
officers Estimates were also made that the amount
Of literature produced and distributed in Texas had
been tripled by literature produced outside Of the
state, but sent into il. Such literature would include
that emanating from national headquarters Of the po-
htcal parties and mainly from prohibition forces and
anti-saloon organizations.
The closest approach 10 the present paper flood with
which Texas has been covered. was during the Butte
gubernatorial campaign when about 4,0OO,0 900 pieces of
literature covered the state, a mere shower compared
to the 1928 deluge.

An Eleventh Hour Pledge

When Governor Smith proposed a tariff commission
or board with broad powers, Mr.. Hoover promptly
branded the proposal AZ not feasible and tending to-
ward Socialism" stating that the American people
would maintain all tariff making powers in congress
However. the commission plan proposed by Smith
vas not 50 "socislistic" that Mr.. Hoover has not pro
rostd to emulate it in respect to farm relief. In an
eleventh hour effort to save some remnant Of republi-
can prestige in the agricultural states, Mr.. Hoover has
come forth with the proposal to create n farm board
with broad powers. which would function for agricul-
ture the same as the board proposed by Smith would
function in connection with tariff revision. II one
is socialistic, the other certainly is.
However. Mr.. Hoover's belated effort to align the
agricultural interests with the G. o. r. will not prove
successful. The American farmers have repeatedly
been promised relief. and the republicans have failed
to extend il. The party went to the extent Of including
in their Kansas City platform an arrangement Of the
M~cNary- HauEen plan. though il had met the approval
or every congressman and senator from the agricultural
states.
Governor Smith early in the campaign promised the
farmers that if elected he would Immediately Organize
a commission Of experts to handle the farm relief
prcLlem and would be prepared to carry the fight t.
congress Immediately after the next session convenes
on March :. In addition to farm relief he promised
equalized tariff protection. without which any form Of
relief would he virtually useless.
The republican standard bearer is greatly %perturbed
over the s~ituation in the agricultural states and Is
making frantic efforts to retrieve the losses sustained
as a result Of the party's agricultural policies. How
ever. the memory Of most Of the farmers extends bach
over the past eight years. and they will not be inclined
10 place much reliance in any promise the republican
party may make. and certainly will not be swayed BY
any eleventh hour promise such as Hoover issued
Friday.

THE MOVIE IN SCHOOL
Dallas News J.


Experiments conducted by Or. Ben D. Wood Of Co.
Chicago over a period of ten weeks with the Corpora
tion OF the schools of twelve cities and the practical
use of II, 900 school children reveal an interesting con-
clusion as the efficacy of the use of motion pictures
in instruction. So the Literary Digest quotes a sum-
mary given by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
School authorities selected as far as possible teach
es and classes Of approximately the same ability, half
using the motion pictures and the others studying
without them. The two educators summarize the re-
suits as showing that where the child learns the sub
ject partly through motion pictures he will make a
SO per cent greater gain in geography and Is per cent
in science over the student unaided by visual instruc-
ton.
Partly that may be due to stimulated interest. II
IL more fascinating to watch wheat made into bread
than to read how it is done. and the mind probably re-
tains q clearer imprint Of the actual picture Of the
process. than Of the one it has had to visualize from
the printed word. Even the difference in gains made in
geography and in science would seem TO support that
theory. for the one presents natural facts TO which
the child mind takes readily and the other changes in
chemistry or physics or growth development not al
ways of general appeal.
valuable outgrowth is the possibility Of reducing the
amount of failure in the schools. If this is achieved
by arousing the child to real interest in the studies, il
would be Of unquestioned benefit. But IL the pictures
merely make school easier for the lazy mind, il would
not be a permanent contribution to the cause Of edu-
cation.

The World and All
COURTESY WHERE IT'S NEEDED
By Charles r. Drisecil

Recently in travelling northward, | had the good
fortune to step into a diner on tbs Canadian National
railway when ! was very hungry. Il was an hour past
breakfast time. and the diner was deserted. except for
the steward and the cook. But I had boarded the train
at a junction. and | certainly needed food.
SO there found a plump and joyial old-fashioned
steward. one Harry Oden Of Montreal. I congratulate
his employers. Harry is the kind Of fellow who can
make a deserted dining car seem like the dining room
back on the farm when the fatted calf wa, killed.
Could | get breakfast? Well. ! certainly could. II
was past time. of course, and things might not ~
quite tasty. but would | mind? He'd see what he could
do for me. SO he did a lot, setting a table, going back
to the kitchen and helping the cook, and making all
merry with a fine smile and good conversation.
The breakfast was fine. | don't know what il con.
sisted Of, for Harry was taking my attention off the
food by pointing out the excellent features Of his new
dining car. You would think he bad made 1t all with
his own hands, he was so proud Of the dust proof win
dows, the perfect lighting, the radio connection and
he comfortable chairs.
Somehow. I can think or a lot Of good Jobs for q
fellow like Harry Oden, the steward. Almost every
day I meet some person in a situation that places him
IN constant contact with the public. and marvel that
the %icbholdsr can do hs work 20 incompetentIy.' n
Harry were general passenger agent Of = railroad that
have TO ride 2 great deal, I'm sure there would DC
less cause for complaint on the part Of patrons Of the
road. Anybody who takes such good-natured pride in
a stewards job Is competent to handle some Of the
much higher jobs that on some railroads arc ~ badly
managed. There are employers straining their eyes
aud ears to find men and women who will take interest
in their jobs and treat patrons eourteously. There IS
room on the North American continent for at least one
million more workers like Harry Oden.
