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 8Oth 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 cimes. 1t 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 it 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~nfalhble, but majorities 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 liked the July primary vote OF $685.
600 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 Pllvius 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 terrorze 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 20, financial crashes come
and go. epidemics come and 60, 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 go.

CorruptinG Influences of Fear
Or Favorite

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
or competent men, free from the corrupting influ-
ences Of fear or favor II 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 c%orrupting influences
OF individuals or interests who know how to play the
game called political.

Don't Get Dizzy


Dame Rumor, who has been a very
sedate little old lady in Brownsville
in the past. is now getting as wild
as the %proverbial March hare.
She dashes In and out, and leaves
tongues wagging.
We don't mean about scandal. or
anything scurrilous like that. Not
at all.
She Is spreading reports. many OF
them with very firm foundations,
about developments in Brownsville
and the Valley.
When a million dollars is men
toned casually. retain your mental
balance, and don't get dizzy. You'll
be hearing that figure often in the
future, and If you persist in getting
dizzy each and every time you hap
pen to catch it, you'll be going
through life staggering.

Il have heard some pessimistic

the worst is yet TO come" the sor-
rowful Prof. Blinkus opined today.
However, after studying the situa-
ton very carefully over my cups, I
arrive at the conclusion that those
doing the knocking are decidedly all
wet. The Valley has never looked
better, and I was born and reared
here. Things are as you make them.

who continually harp on bad bust
ness, viii chase what business they
have away.
