cials in what is asserted to have

The officials, who had been
tipped off to the plot, accompanied
the japanese, osthe rendezvous near
BACK Butte, and forced the .Japan-
ese to give Mendell the signal to
land. When he did so. the Mexican
officers Immediately placed him un-
der arrest.
The plane in which he was flying
was the Bull sedan presented to him
and Pete Reinhardt by the Publ

pending upon him for support and

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
National Advertising Representatives
Old Lion of the American Bar

Elihu Roots brilliant career as a statesman and
lawyer was recognized by the American Bar asso-
citation which in its closing session presented him
with its distinguished service medal for 1880. He is
the dean Of American statesmen and lawyers. He
has passed his sOth mile post, and, lest we forget.
away back in the dead ages he was chief counsel to
william N. Tweed, the greatest political CRATER and
filcher Of money from the pockets Of a great city that
New York has ever known.
Tweed was convicted and sent to prison. His ring
was smashed. His fellow conspirators were driven TO
foreign chimes. It is the sacred duty Of a lawyer
to serve a client; he prosecutes for the people; he
defends for the individual. Many distinguished SER
vice medals have been pinned upon the Root lapels
and as a statesman and lawyer and diplomat he IS
the topnotcher among topnotchers.
He drafted a new constitution for the state Of
New York. Men said 1t was the very wise and pro-
gressive document. 1t was submitted to the people
in their sovereign capacity as voters. 1t persisted at
the polls under the weight of a majority of 100000
adverse ballots.
There are times when experts do one line Of
thinking and the peculiar individual known as the
average American voters walks in the opposite di-
rection on his way to the nearest polling place. Lead
'ers may be i~nfalible, bur m~ajorities tell the story and
return the verdict in a democracy.

Ballots AS Rainmakers

Prayers to the Almighty for rain are said to be
very efficatious. Never overlook the power OF the
ballot. Texans hiked the July primary vote OF $685.
900 to a very high mark and established a new voting
record for their commonwealth.
Then something else happened. On Monday morn
ing and very early at that, Col. Jupiter Pluvius let
loose a heavy shower that made glad the hearts OF
all the people regardless Of their lineup on August
final day.
Drouths come and terrorize the people. then the
rain god intervenes and sends his favors to relieve
their distress. There are rosy signs in the heavens
for the Texas Of today and the Texas Of the future.
Political plaques come and go. financial crashes come
and go. epidemics come and go, but in the long run
the master architect strikes an even average of the
blessings and the tribulations which appear to be the
common lot Of human kind.
There are silver Innings to every cloud; there are
ever rainbows In the heavens after the most dis
astrous storms whether those Of human conflict or
those Of the wars Of the elements. Yes. turn Texas
loose in a constructive sense. and let her 20.

Corrupting influences of Fear

This is an excerpt from the address delivered by
Chief Justice Hughes before the American Bar as
ISOLATION: Our government is one of laws through
men and most Of our problems in the administration
of the criminal law could be solved by the selection
Of competent men. free from the corrupting influ-
ences Of fear or favor" If read between the lines
it is easy to interpret the advice Of the chief justice
Of the court Of last resort. Fear OF the mob. fear OF
organized minorities and the corrupting influences
OF individuals or interests who know how to play the

Pipe Dreams
Last night I went out walking,
And not q vacant lot
Was full Of golfing buffers
Who were missing evry shot.
I rambled thru the suburbs
And peace was all around.
I saw no birds In knickers
A-digging UP the ground.
Thele were no lights declaring
Defiance to the sun;
There were no ladies squealing
They'd done q hole in one.
I couldn't understand It;
1t didn't make much sense;
I found nobody hanging
Upon a picket fence.
Not once did I encounter
A native, snort or dumb,
Who stopped me to inquire
If I would play Tom Thumb.
