TEXANS WATCHING
 'MA' AND HUSBAND
Wonder ii FerSusons Will Try
 Political Comeback

Austin. Tex, Feb. (UP)-All over the 9G6.00O square miles O. Texas, people are wondering If Ma" Ferguson is going to enter the governors mansion, for the third time.
 It would he but another turn in the remarkable career Of the two Governors Miriam A. and James it. Ferguson, who have alternatcd b. tween the zenith and the nadir of Fortunes wheel.
 In 1914 a rugged. smooth shavcn, 900 pound man of 45, risen from dAF laborer to banker, startled the pol iticians of Texas by suddenly an nouncng that he was going to run for Governor.
 With plank in his platform proposing to limit the amount Of the crops that landowners could claim from tenant farmers, FerGu- son was swept into the Gov ernorship.
 After being hostess at inc Man sion' for nearly three years, Mrs. Ferguson left if in October, 19l', with her husband, who had been impeachcd and sentenced never again to hold office Of honor, trust or profit in Texas.
 Then Came the Ku kluz klen. l Ferguson became it's Nitriolic at | tacller. He could not run for ot- flee. Mrs. Ferguson said she would. | On the twin blanks of opposition to the klan and vindication they 1 again had fortunes favor.
 She pardoncd her husband. Tie 1 ogislature passed an amnesty act restoring his political rights. r Attorney General Dan Moody bH- gan a probe of highway activities l Huge contracts had been let. lie | demanded their cancellation aN return Of approximately Sl,000,o'n to the state, in a series of sul,S. | Winning a S600,00o suit Moody an nounced for Governor.
 Either 1 should not be governor or my opponent should not be ,t.- 1 tcrney general Mrs. Ferguson sad in her first campaign speech for re- election. "I make him this Ch4l- lenGe. If do not beat him 100.0 'p votes in the first primary. I Will resign provided, if l beat him n the first prim Try, he will resign
 Moody promptly accepted. 'i wouldn't bet with the Goyernorshr or the state as a stake,' he sal. but l sec an opportunity in a. ccptng this challenge to rid the state Qf Fercusonism i'll July h- stead of the following January"
 Early return indicated Moody had 2 majority in the first primary. It. developed he lacked a few thou- sand votes and the campaigning was on for another month. Mr.. Ferguson ignored her challenc' saying it had never been formally accepted. In the second primary Moody won and in January, 19-7 Ma. Ferguson" left the mansion the second time.
 The amnesty act, that had re stored Fergu sons rights was re- pcaled. Opponents claim the arl- rcsty never was constitutional an l that "Ma' Ferguson could not legally pardon him.
 Ferguson's supporters say the pardon was valid. They assert also that once having taken effect. the amnesty act restored his rights regardless ot the pardon. One re- stored, they say, repeal of the art could not again deprive him Of the right to hold office
 i Because of this dispute some think Ma will again be the can- didate, not Pa
 In either event, a Ferguson vi2- tory will take j,cr into the man sion' for the ,hird time.

IS employed in Sweden, where only adults possessing Bratt cards to show they are temperate in habits may purchase liquor. Only home consumption is permitted. The government has had to contend with much smuggling but has abol- ished saloons and decreased the national drink bill.
 Norway had full prohibition in 1919 but repealed it in 1926 be- cause Of commercial pressure from Ulne-g growing countries who reta- Hated by refusing to buy Norwegian products and also because of snug gling and difficulty of enforcement. The new law, permitting local op ton, was said to be the most vigor- ous in Europe. It permitted oniN those cities where spirits were sold before the war to re-introduce liquor sale.
 Esthonia, on the Baltic Sea, first tried the Swedish card system bJt abandoned it in favor of strict local option which has proved satisfac- tory in the estimate of prohibition ists. It's neiGhbor, LatNia, has only a few restrictive measures, includ- ing the closing Of all bars from Saturday noon until Monday morh- ing, materially decreasing alcoholic consumption.
 Denmark has restricted the con- sumption of liquors through hish duties and local option introduced in 1925. All Baltic Sea countries have an agreement to suppress smuggling.
 Modified In Iceland
 Iceland, an independent country under the KlnS of Denmark, ,s tablished full prohibition in 1925 but modified it later 10 permit sale oi Spanish wines because Spain had threatened to restrict the sale has full prohibition of sale of spirits.
 Russia has a state monopoly on production of vodka but no restric tIons. The government permits local option, which has not been used to any great extent. Pollard i voted for local option in 1921 and the system has been fairly success ful. The president Of Czecho- SIo- Nahia is a tcctotallcr but there arc no restriction on liquor in the country. JugoslaNia has no string ont liquor regulations and there has been little agitation for pro- hibition in Austria, Germany, Hun gary or Holland.
 ltaly's only restriction is a 1 fascist measure requiring early night closing of bars and cafes and limitation Of the number of H. censed houses Spain and Porth- gal are ne-drinliing countries where little headway las been made by prohibitionists and Greece is temperate country with no re- strictions on drink.
 France has no prohibition except on absnthe, which was prohibited | in 1915 because it vas blamed for bad effect on health of drinkers. | French police are required to ar rest any drunken person but ar , rests have decreased by half since | before the war. The consumption 1 Of hard liquor in France for 1925 | surpassed all previous records.

TEN THOUSAND CHILDREN ATTENDING
 ALASKA SCHOOLS

The schools of the Alaska Rail road belt are rounding out fairly Successful year and improvement and growth is noted in many of them by T. w. Breuer, commis- Isioner of education, in Seward Sat- Iurday, southbonnd following a trip to the Interior.
 Anchorage is at present concern ed with the erection of it's new $50,00O high school plant which they hope to put to use next term. Speaking of new school buildings, WrangeI, by an overwhelming vote, decided to erect new plant at the cost of $5Oo0O. It will also be an up-to-date modern building for use of both the elementary and high school classes.
 ! Encouragement has been receiv- ed in the matter of a conference of superintendentS and principals to be held at Juneau in the near future to discuss educational and school problems of the Territory. It is likely that there will be small turnover of administrators, thus making this meeting more valua- ble and desirable. School board problems can very we'll be brought out at this time. It is hoped that he cooperation of all city school boards will De had if at all possible Interest is being shown in pro posed summer school for the teach CTS of Alaska. The president of Ithe Alaska College and the regents have endorsed such a move It Is thought that the college could handle it more satisfactory as the necessary administrative machin- cry is already available. The con ditionS may materialize So that a
 school can be held the summer of
 1881. "A number of teachers have
 shown keen interest in such move and a thorough canvas thru 3 queStionaire will be made this coming winter to determine furth- fer information and data relative
 to the advisability of summer school for teachers.
 Figures to date show favorable growth in the enrolment of pupils in the schools The year 192930, showed slightly more than 5000 pupils enrolled in the Territorial schools. larger enrolment is looked for during the term soon to end
 For the information of the read IarS there were approximately 10.-
 900 pupils enrolled last year in all
 the schools of the Territory The
 Territorial schools showed about 5000, the Bureau schools approxi- smately the same number, and the
 Mission schools accounted for about '1, ,000 pupils.

BARRATT'S CHAPEL
ANNIVERSARY

Standing near the du Pont highway,
In the dear old land of Kent,
Is an antiquated church we love so
we'll.
There it stands, a sacred emblem,
AS a gift of God twas sent.
In our memory loving thoughts of it
will dwell
Passing years have offered changes
To the country all around,
And some other country churches
passed away
But the work of dear old Barratts
Ever lives to "hold it's ground"
And the faith for which it stands
Will last for aye.
Every year its loyal people,
On a day that's filled with cheer,
Meet to stimulate the faith
For which it lives,
And in glad commemOration
Gather there from far and near,
Joining in the joyous feast
The glad day gives.
The last Sunday in September
Is the date we set this year
For the long anticipated jubilee.
Come, for joyous strains of music
will fill the air;
And a worthwhile message waits
For YOU and me.
