A special session of the new congress will convene
April IS. It may sit all summer and after 1t has
ceased to sit the farmers will know the brand Of re-
lief they are to be given by the Hoover administra-
ton. Those who are interested in the tariff viii
know just what they may expect in the future.
On April Is a special session Of the Texas legisla-
ture will assemble In the city Of Austin-it Is to be
hoped to enact constructive laws which effect the
pockets Of the people as well as the general welfare
Of the commonwealth.
A messenger will deliver the message Of President
Hoover to both houses Of the American congress.
Away down here in Texas the governor may otficate
as his own messenger and read his address to both
houses Of the general assembly.
There is said to be a revolution on in Mexico.
Federals and rebels took the play away from the
American congress and the Texas legislature in the
early March days.
TsAre is something doing all the time in this
grand old world, but the most important recent hap

Fess Backs Baker

Senator Simeon D. Tess of Ohio, widely known
as one o the favorite orators and champions of the
Antl-Saloon league program, has presented the name
Of Newton D. Baker Of Cleveland to the president
for member of the commission to make { study of
law enforcement and court procedure.
Newton D. Baker was secretary CT war n the
woodrow Wilson cabinet. Are democrats TO be rec
ognized in the naming of the commission2
Attorney General William D. Mitchell is a demo-
department Of the government when the time comes
to transfer the program from the treasury depart
ment to the department Of justice. This transfer will
relieve Andrew w. Mellon of a lot Of worry and a
lot Of criticism. Mellon is a game old fighter, he
never loses his head, he knows how to control his
tongue, he knows the value of brain work instead of
CAB work, but he is nearing his 18th milepost and
isn't as agile on his feet as in the days Of yore.
Mitchell fought what was known as the progress
sive wing Of the democratic party in the state Of Min
uesota and gave aid and comfort to the regular re-
publican organization, still calling himself a demo-
crat. He received his reward. Charles Francis
Adams of the Hoover cabjnet is another democrat
who remained in the traces or years. Organism drove
him out of the party. AS secretary of the navy a
private yacht was at its disposal. He ordered the sale
Of the craft, declaring that a secretary Of the navy
did not need a government owned yacht.
Charles Francis Adams has his private yacht. He
IS a scholar in politics, a man of wealth, as demo-
cratic as an old shoe, and when at home he chops
his own firewood.

Timely Views
CENSORSHIP OF RADIO AND MOTION
PICTURES OPPOSED

BY JAMES BECK, Congressman From Philadelphia.
DANES Montgomery Beck was born in Phila-
delphia, July 8, 1861. He is a graduate Of Mora
Wan college and holds several honorary degrees.
Admitted to the bar in 1884, he practiced law In
New York City from 1908 until 1921. after serving
as assistant attorney general for three years. He
was named solicitor general Of the United States
in 1921 and resigned four years later to resume
his law practice in New York and Washington.
He was elected to congress in 1927. He is a men,
Der Of several scientific societies, foreign orders
and the author of several political science books.
Censorship of radio or motion pictures before ut
teranee is as damaging to the American form Of de-
mocracy as censorship of the press itself would be.
Liberty is generally achieved by great convulsive
upheavals, while its impairment is generally subter-
ranean and ~insidious. No thief in the night moves
so silently as oppression.
So far as the freedom of thought is concerned.
what possible difference can it make whether thought
is conveyed by the press, or by sound waves, or pic
lures? In each case, what is shackled is the human
mind and. if the ideals of liberty mean anything, one
form of tyranny is as indefensible as another. No
medium Of expression has the right to subvert morals
or advocate treason, but existing law is ample to pro-
tect the public in these fields.
Within the life of all of us here assembled, two
new media Of expression have come into existence,
which may prove more important in the de-
velOpment OF the human nina imam even the plul-
ing press. We live too close to them to appreciate
their infinite potentalties. These two media are the
greatest gifts in their potential usefulness that have
been made in the lifetime of anyone now present.
I hav ventured to say all this because I am deeply
impressed with the beneficial results to democracy of
both these new-found forms Of expression. Popular
institutions are only possible when there Is an edu-
Gated electorate and, unfortunately, the common
school system only leads the boy or girl to the
threshold Of governmental problems. If, thereafter,
there is no continuous study Of governmental prob
lens. it is difficult to see how there can be an edu-
Gated vote.
If We devote our energies, not to Stacking these
new forms Of activity, but to utilize them for the
welfare Of humanity, 1 can see a method of popular
education which promises much for the future of
democratic institutions. In utilizing these beneficent
gifts to mankind, let us remember that the ideals of
the fathers, for the freedom Of speech and the free
dom Of the press, which are guaranteed by the con-
stitution, are. in the last analysis, the freedom Of
thought itself, and we must not emancipate one form
of thought only to put the shackles Of governmental
oppression on another.

The best ever! But I didn't

Pops. Didn't he frighten you?"
II was tickled to death. with him.
He's an old darling. And your
mother is just too sweet for any
thing!"
Il knew they would have dinner
here tonight. That's why I brought
you. It's the cooks night out.
Mother likes to come here. I want
ed you to meet them"
Betty squeezed his hand under
the table. He did not release 1t
until the waiter came with the next
course.
Betty Struggled closer to Andy the
next time they danced. She was
SO happy. He was not ashamed Of
her. That she had danced public
ly would not stand in her way. AS
they were eating their dessert, the
two old folks babe them good night,
cautioning them not to dance too
long. They went their way after
Mrs. Adair repeated her invitation
for dinner.

oned the waiter and settled his
check, singing softly to Betty

threatened.

where the moon made a long silver
path across the surface Of the river
Brittle pieces of silver shattered anc
broke off its edges. 1t looked as
though one could walk down its

Gee. I'm happy" cried Andy
I'm always happy when I'm with
you"
And so am I with you, Andy
said Betty, simply.
I'm glad you approved Of my

Was that worrying you? J

they wouldn't approve of mel"
How could they help it?" he de-
manded, wonderingly. You hac

You have certainly done that"
do you really think so, Andy?"
Il don't think anything about it.
I know it. I know my old folks
like a book and they are for you.
I never knew Pops to do anything
but grunt at a girl before!"
1T is no wonder you r so nice,
Andy, with such nice parents"
What you trying to do, kid me?"
mo, I'm not. I just think you
are nice"
Just how nice? Nice enough to
kisS?" He put his arm around her
and drew her to him.
Betty put her lips up to his al an
answer. He kissed her gently, and
then sat silent. Then he kissed her
again, fiercely.
Il know I'm taking a chance" he
began. II ought to wait, but the
moon, the music, the presence Of
Pops and mother, everything to-
gether, has got me going. Betty.
You have been thinking unkind-
ly Of me for a long, long time. I
have sense enough to know that it
can't be gotten over in a minute. I
know you love me. The way you
cuddled in my arms and kissed me
the other night showed me that.
But tonight I must know how much
you love me.
Its all very well to say you love
me when I kiss you, but having a
petting party with a fellow doesn't
mean as much these days as it used
to. Most girls kiss. I don't want
you to love me that way, Betty. ]

A DISAPPOINTING LEGISLATURE
Beaumont Enterprise.

DNoLLlCA -AAISA
The F%orty-first Texas legislature was in many re-
spects a disappointment. 1t is easy to find fault with
any legislative body, whether a state legislature or
congress, because our system of lawmaking is tedious,
cumbersome and complex. It is often very ineffec-
tive. But there is justification for the people Of
Texas to wish that their legislature, in the session
that ended Thursday. had shown greater unity of
purpose and had been more responsive to what APP
pears to be the public will.
For some reason, not quite clear. the legislature
was unwilling to accept Governor Moody'S advice. All
through the session the fight on the governors legis-
lative program continued. The result was that his
program. in its major provisions, was defeated, al
though little personal hostility against the governor
developed during the prolonged w~rangling. The vote
in some instances was close, thus showing that the
governors proposals had strong support, but in the
end none of the more important bills in which he
was interested got through the legislature.
Concentration and relocation Of the states prison
system is still a piece Of unfinished business. The
states prison system, for humane and economic rea-
sons, should be reorganlzed. But IeAaS must walt
a while longer.
High hopes were entertained that the modified
Sterling plan. providing for a statewide bond issue
of SITS 10000 to build highways, would be enacted.
Those hopes were not realized. The legislature re-
fused to submit to the people an amndmnt that
would enable the state to issue the bonds. Did the
legislature. by this action, represent the will of the
people OF SIMPLY l4S VII "a AS ANH
hers who are afraid to indorse a large bond issue for
public improvements?
Civil service reform, regulation Of public utilities
and other measures failed Of enactment. The legis-
Iature spent much time in debating the more impor-
tant bills, but the sum Of its labors is a mass of
local laws, many Of them of no interest to the state
Of large. The Quinn seawall bill is one Of the few
local measures passed by the legislature that may
benefit other parts of Texas than the precinct imne-
diately affected.
The legislators will have a short rest and then they
will be called back to Austin by Governor Moody. 1t
e 70 be hoped that the legislature in the extra ses-
sion will make a better showing. and will be more

The Once Over
WHAT DID MIR. TAFT REALLY SAY?
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS

NEW YORK March 22-Dear Editor: Like Miss
Helen Terwilliger, ! am a Radio Bad Breaks Scout,
and I thought Justice Taft got mixed up in admin
istering the oath to Mr.. Hoover, as Miss Terwilliger
said. Although it may have been the static, what
thought Mr.. Taft said was:
Il do solemnly swear that l will faithfully exc
cute this office of president of the United States in
sickness and in health, for better or worse, for richer
or for poorer and know We by all these presents that
1 will to the best Of my knowledge and recollection
preserve, protect and defend the said premises, keep
ing them in good repair and giving ninety days no
tice before quitting the same. Amen"
Although I am no student Of the constitution, this
seemed to me to be pretty well scrambled, and 1 could
not make out whether he was marrying Mr.. Hoover,
leasing him an apartment or inducing him into Of
flee. I asked my girl friend who lives upstairs, how
it sounded over her radio and she said that she dis
tinctly heard Justice Taft administer the oath like
this:
DO you, Herbert. take this office to love, honor
and obey, in accordance with and pursuant to the
aforesaid terms as herein stated and Solemnly swear
that you will tell the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth so help you? My commission ex-
pires March och, 1888"
This girl admitted that she was trying to listen
to two stations at the same time and that the other
one was broadcasting a comic opera, 50 I asked a
cousin Of mine, who has a radio set with two Of the
six bulbs blown out, what she heard when Mr.. Hoo
yer was beieng sworn in as president, and she said
that over her radio it was:
"All men are born free and equal and as such are
entitled to life, liberty and you can feel some people
all the time and all people some of the time, but
right or wrong, my country"
She says she took this down verbatim just before
her outside aerial blew away and that. while there
was some interference from a trombone solo, she
heard whoever was being made president reply in a
loud voice, THE same to you and many Of them
Can We all be wrong? Yours truly,
INA DODO.
