flee or that.
So peaceful and quiet except in
spots where judges and election tab
ulators are busy counting the votes
dropped in the ballot boxes Satur-
day.
Soon the only thing that will be
left to be done will be TO bow 70
the will Of the people" and vote
again in November ana then bow
TO the will Of the people again.
The engineer Of this column IS
still OF the opinion that Ross Ster-
ling of Houston IS the better man
to be governor Of Texas.
kTOW that we have cast our ballots
IV the results of which will prob
ably elect the next governor OF
Texas and all the other Democrat
ic nominees. let's talk about some
thing else for a while. What will
We talk about?'
Let's talk about the worlds SER
les. Anything except politics.
Looks like Connie Mack and his
Philadelphia Athletics will win the
rext worlds serious" over Comics
oldest rival John j. McGraw and
his New York Giants.
incidentally this brings together
two Of the oldest figures in base
ball. Those two men were present
az the birth of both leagues and
probably that is the reason we would
like to see them tangle up again.
Hal Eustace has not told US a
thing but in the Texas league 1t Will
probably be Houston and Wichita
Falls in the play-off. with the West
Texas city the winner.
THEN II We are declaring a truce
on politics. We might draw our
chairs a little closer and talk
about - let's talk about Judge oscar
Dancy.
Judge Dancy Is about as virile a
worker as 10 has been the privilege
Of the engineer OF this column ever
10 know. But Judge Daney is also
the greatest suppresSor Of the news
We have ever known. Now if any
body ever tells the Judge We said 1t
we mean ii this way.
When the Judge gets something
real hot he takes the press into his
confidence. He writes the editors
all about II ard marks the letters
confidential" Then when he has
sent out about 200 Of these letters
on the same subject he has matters
pretty well In hand.
But We are for the Judge even he
does handcuff us every few minutes.
Other people wise 10 the fact that
the press can be confided in say:
I'll tell you this but you cannot
print It," Judge Dancy takes no
chances. He writes a letter and
keeps a copy as a matter OF record.
MINATED Annie says column
~ writers are always getting to
talk about somebody else and
that somebody or those somebodies
do not have the same chance to get
back at them.
Well, let's talk about the column
writer's. "A column writer Is a man
who comes down in the morning
wondering what he will write about
today for the good OF the commun-
ity which furnishes him his bread
and meat. He considers the public
activities CT the day before and takes
his pen in hand. When he is
through and the paper IS out he at
first feels mighty good about it un-
I'll re finds where an entire line has
been dropped which makes him say
something other than he intend
ed or that a printer who knows bet
ter has made him say couple are"
Of what have You in grammar tech
mic.
He has one sure way TO get rich
but never does. Words properly
lined up or paper will certainly bring
wealth. And the dictionary offers
him every word used in the English
language. And still SO few Of them
90 there and get them and put them
together in a manner to get rich.
1T IS just like playing golf. All you
have TO do IS shoot the little
ball in the hole to make a hole
IN one.
NOV let's see what else we will
IN do to keep out Of politics. Oh.
yes. Let's talk about the mos
quito. He IS a terrible bird We have
heard. Let's al sing it like they 90
at the Rotary club:
A Queer GaZabo
rs The Mosquito
He Looks 50 Harmless
And Not So Charmleys
