keener than usual rivalry has sprung
up between the two cities.
Their efforts TO excel each 9TH

form. Business men. great groups
OF them. have been working day

accurate counts for both towns.
Even II they do not get the num-
Der OF inhabitants thev want there
is one consolation both a boast

exists in San Benito.
Two methods have been selected

Moody's Appeal to Texas Editors

Gov. Moody voiced a plea for prison reform at the
annual banquet association, and. in passing. took a
slap at what he termed the selfish attitude Of Wis
consin for barring South Texas land dealers from
Wisconsin"
Speaking Of prison reform the governor said Texas
has been piling up an accumulation Of human wreck
age for years, ana the solution has been spoken Of and
agitated since 1912, but nothing has been done.
Then he cracked down on the prison reform topic
and said: Il do not believe the people Of Texas real
ize the condition of our prison system. II they did
there would be an awakening and the matter would
be remedied overnight"
He appealed TO the editors to put the facts before
the people and to help him to aake nthe state TO the
true condition. There has been a campaign Of edu-
cation on for years, and the place for the friends Of
prison reform to begin is to strike at the ballot box
in the nomination and election OF IS senator's and
$50 representatives who will vote TO wipe out the
shame OF Texas"

Peanut Politics

1t is not quite IL months since the Senate passed
The Norris resolution 70 end the lame duck" sessions
Of Congress.
AS to the merits OF this resolution there can be no
argument. There is no valid reason for allowing con-
gressmen defeated az the polls to spend an additional
13 months in office. There are all kinds Of very
weighty reasons against 1t.
But the Norris resolution stiIl slumbers in the House
Of Representatives. which in former years has killed
four similar resolutions.
The House. however. has managed to do this much:
continuing to ignore the Norris Bill. It has sent 10
committee an identical resolution fathered by a Mas
sachusetts member. Apparently the House finds it.
self unable to put off the passage Of this needed re-
form any longer; but by sidetracking the Norris
resolution 1t is trying to take from the Nebraska SEN
Rtor the credit that is due him
II has seldom played a pettier brand OF peanut

New Judges for Farmer Jim

FARMER jim Ferguson has asked for a writ Of man
namus from the supreme court to compel the Wilcox
state committee to place his name on the official pri-
mary ballot. Chief Justice G. NJ. Cureton and Asso-
cate Justice Greenwood disqualified themselves.
This passed the problem on to Gov. Moody. Now, AS
Eociate Justice Pierson and Special Justice r. S. Brad
ley Of Groesbeck and Special Chief Justice A. H.
Britain will serve to hear the Ferguson suit.
Bradley is president Of the Texas Bar association
and one Of the leading lawyers Of Texas. Britain
Is a prominent member Of the Wichita Falls bar, and
ranks with the leading barristers of the common
wealth. 1t is to be hoped, at least, that the regular
court and the special court will lift the pressure and
relieve the agony at an early date. June is on the
way. and in June the state committee viii hold its
most important session and arrange the Official pri-
mary ballot for the voters Of the election to be held
In the shank end Of the month OF July.
Messrs. Love and Ferguson are in the pan and the
pan Is said to be a hot seat. Why prolong the tor
>ure?

UP Fifth avenue-on and on and OIL.
It seemed TO her that she had
walked hours before she discovered
that she was shivering in the cold
breeze and it had gotten dark.
Was IL all a dream? A dreadful
unbelievable nightmare? Or had
she lost her reason? Suddenly she
felt she must assure herself that she
had heard correctly.
She would call Greg. She would
tell him they were invited away for
the week-end-and she would see
whether he would 60. Perhaps he
would break a date with axe to go
With her. Perhaps he would rather
be with her, after all.
A sudden light flashed upon Elan
da. Maybe-maybe she could save
Dixie from this first big step in the
breaking up Of her home. II Greg
said he would 90 with her. she could
tell Dixie. and Dixie would feel her
self sighted and she might get angry
with Greg and not see him any
more.
Elanda reached into her bag and
took out a nickel. She walked two
more blocks TO a phone booth. There
might be a chance that Greg was
entertaining at his apartment.
With a mighty effort she forced
herself to drop the nickel into the
slot and give his number. With a
still greater effort she forced life
into her voice when a servant an
swered the telephone.

Why. poor little Dixie was lust a

Soon that was the only thought
that kept hammering through her
tortured brain. She must save Dixie
