The Joke of the Highway Law

For some reason, probably largely political, the
headlight laws Of Texas have been permitted to be-
come the "joke" Of the highways. With good intent
and solemn mien the 1925 legislature announced that
the menace " glare lights would be eliminated from
the highways 81 the state, and then proceeded to pass
a law that would doubtless perform the function for
which il Is intended-if it we're enforced.
The highway department has a few special agents
who cover large territories and are expected to assist
local officers in enforcing the law. much the same a.
prohibition enforcement officers are expected to all
other federal offcers-and with much the same re-
suits. The special officers cannot he criticized; they
have a wide territory to cover, and generally receivs
little aid from any source. Their arrival is heralded
BY a few arrests. a sudden "run" on the light adjusting
stations, but as soon as they pass on to new territory
the law is forgotten, except in a few sections where
the local officers are zealous IN the performance Of
their duty, and receive the condemnation Of motorists
for performing it.
The average motorist is generally highly incensed
when the glare from the unadiusted headlights Of an
approaching car force him to seek the ditch TO avoid d
collision, but overlooks the fact that his own head
lights are probably as irritating to other drivers. He
is conscious only of the inconvenience he experiences;
not Of that he causes. As a rule the motorist rails at
those who have glare headlights and then blithelv
goes his way without regard to how seriously his own
lights may glare others. II he is hailed before the
court he almost invariably Is assessed a small fine and
treats the matter as a joke.
Texas expends thousands Of dollars in preventing
spread Of infectious diseases among humans and ami
mails; in preventing or controlling plant diseases and
pests. and in teaching the people Of the state how 20
take care Of their health; but has only a few dollars
to spend in Graduating the deadly glarelight which IL
q menace on every highway IN the state. Other states
have succeeded in controlling this menace to life and
property, and there is no logical reason why Texas
cannot do the same.

A Los Angeles court certainly started something by
deciding that a Nevada three months'-old residence d.
vorce is no good in California, which will be news TO
hundreds Of remarked couples.
In effect, tho decision is that three months Of resi-
dence in Nevada, solely for divorce purposes, is not
bona fide residence. 1t is simply q temporary proceed
ing to beat the laws of the party's home state. PROB
ably, not two in one hundred of such residents"
would reside in Nevada a day longer than three
months, if they could possibly avoid it.
As to parties remarrying after such worthless d.
vorce and the children from such renarriages, their
misery, doubt and, possibly, shame are 20 be charged to
the lack Of national divorce legislation.
Nevada is entitled to her states. rights. But a
states rights end where the rights and common good
Of the country begin. It is pretty faulty government
which permits one state to broadcast husbands, wives
and children who aren't legitimate everywhere.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
The Battle In the East

To Senator Moses is credited the statement that
the Atlantic coast states, from Maine to Maryland will
be the FLANDERS field Of the presidential campaign"
Just what the republican leader intended to imply
is not clear, but apparently he is convinced that the
main battle in the presidential campaign will lie in
the states Of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New
Jersey and the New England states, all Of which are
normally republican.
Democratic leaders are asserting that the majority
of the Atlantic states will fall into the Smith column
at the November election, and the republican leaders
in those states frankly admit they will have 70 wage
a strenuous battle to hold the voters in line.
Many leaders Of both major parties state that for
mer political leanings Of the various states, especially
in the East and Northwest, are no indication Of what
may be expected at the November election. SO many
issues have been injected, many Of a purely local ma
ture, that political observers are at a loss to analyze
the situation, declaring that in many Of the states, and
probably including some Of the "solid South" there
will complete "upsets," so far as political alliances are
concerned.
In the East. as in the South, prohibition is the
main issue, with the East clamoring for repeal or mod
ification and the South demanding adherence to and
rigid enforcement Of the eighteenth amendment and
Volstead act. Eastern republicans are endeavoring to
make their party appear in its "wettest" garb, whereas
in the South the C. o. P. leaders are endeavoring to
wiring all vestiges Of anti-prohibition sentiment from
their party and its candidates, apparently with some
success.
Experienced political forecasters assert that the
South will probably remain fairly solid" sufficiently
SO at least to prevent a heavy G. o. P. gain, and that
the democrats will not make extensive gains in the
West or Northwest. But so far as the Eastern states
are concerned they admit that any prediction would
merely be a wild guess, stating that no one should be
astonished il many Of the Eastern states perform po-
litical gymnastics heretofore never exhibited.

For some reason or other we have been led to be-

they shouldn't have very many gray hairs at that. And
pilots, Of course, should be under 25 il possible.
was surprised, therefore, to learn that one Of the
best pilots in the marine corps was over 40. OF course
he was killed recently when his ship, which was on
its way to scatter peace and goodwill among the Mica
raguans, crashed. But ! don't think the age Of the
pilot caused the ship to go down. How many young
sters Of 20 to Is have crashed before one man Of over
40 went that way!
L. S. Grey Of Dallas and Los Angeles. is one Of the
most enthusiastic aviators Of the southwest. He is
6S years old.
Mr.. Grey has just bought his third plane, a hand

a few years ago, in one of those after-the-war Jennies.
/ did some flying in one Of those old crates myself,
and now l consider myself quite a hero for having done
so. They creaked in every joint, and the wings flopped
like an elephants ears when they hit the ground.
Those who flew in the old Jennies may begin to feel
like regular Wrights now, for the present-day planes
are as far ahead of them as the 1928 automobiles are
ahead Of those first Fords that you occasionally see
in the pictures.
But this man Grey learned to fly a Jenny, and as
soon as he had learned he bought the ship and used It
to commute between his two homes in Los Angeles and
Dallas. When he began to grow ashamed of the ap-

a young daredevil could drive a horseless carriage ?
Do you remember when the newspapers used to devote
a whole page on Sunday to pictures Of and stories
about local women who could drive their own cars?
Well, il you are old enough to remember these
things, you are still plenty young enough 70 learn 10

Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas expresses the
pious hope that individual contributions TO the 1928
campaign Of the republican party viii not exceed
$1,000. The senator has been accused of harboring
visionary ideas, and maybe this is one.
The senator would have the republican chest lined
a good word that-with small contribution from the
rank and file Of the party. The republican who gives
so cents or 81 to elect Messrs. Hoover and Curtis will
not think that he is entitled to a federal Job. The
republican who has more means at his command and
donates 500 will not be in a position, on that account,
to tell Mr.. Hoover where to get off. Even a $1,000
do.ation will place no burdensome obligations on the
administration.
The captain Of industry or the business leader who
gives S or rs times $1,000 is running into money ana
he naturally feels that he has a right to expect some-
thing in return. Harry Sinclair expected to be remem-
bered when he gave Will Hays a total Of $4,000. and

Herbert Hoover is the genius OF

Smith never has written a book,
not read many. but il Is impossible

NOMINEES PRESENTED IN VIVID
CONTRAST

WASHINGTON.-This IS going to
TO be a remarkable presidential cam
paign-a test between two great
PHILOSOPHERS Of life.
The party platforms don't indicate
it, but the candidates do.
We've all known for a long time
that a realignment of our two major
political groups was urgently need
ed. The old ones had ceased to be
representative. There were so-called
republicans who really were demo-
Gratis; professed democrats who act
ually were republicans.
That how they met at Kansas City
and Houston and that's how their
leaders meant them to stay.
They adopted their platforms &C
cordingly. Neither one meant any
thing. The managers didn't intend
them tom either side. The typical
politician is afraid Of genuine is
sues. He doesn't want TO give the
electorate anything TO vote on, for he
doesn't know how il will vote. He
trusts to the superiority az his bunk
ove- his rivals bunk to WIZ.
Yes. the platforms both were rig
Eed Up strictly according to political
Hoyle.
But the nominations Ect out Of the
old-iine "fixers' hands.
It's extraordinary that they both
got out az the fixers' " hands at the
same time. but they did. Probably
the time was ripe; the psychological
moment had arrived. The rank and
file Of republicans and democrats
felt the Eripe az nausea az their
ancient bosses piffle and trickery
all az once.

the one the bosses fixed UP for him.
II doesn't amount 10 shucks.
They didn't say IL az Kansas City,
but il was as true there as II vas
a week later. at Houston. Herbert
Hoover Is his own platform, too.
The platform officially adopted az
