German Ability.
(NeW York Times.l

tNeW York Times)
 The world has had to hear a lot in recent years about Germany's ability to pay Less has been said about her ability to produce to organize, to push applied science to it's outermost boundary, to astonish the world by achievements in in- dustry, in commerce, and now in building That the Europa, on her maiden voyage, should have broken the record for transatlantic passage previously held by her sister ship the Bremen, is something peculiarly and legitimaely fitted to fill the German nation with pride. It shows that Ger man enterprise and skill in both designing and navi- lgating are placing Germany back on the seas where she was before the disasters of the World War. It is triumph which her former enemies will not grudge her although it may have the effect lof putting English and American shp-builders to their trumps in order to see if they can match or surpass the extraordinary record of the Europa.
 In his adress Monday Mir Owen Young touched on German capacity While pointing out that Germany has still to look abroad for part lof her supply of basis material he declared that she has abundant store of that kind or lraw material too little taken into account in the worlds affairs, namely capacity for scientific research, and the ability to apply it and organize it.. There could be no accurate account of the methods by which Germany has won her way back to supremacy, for the time being in design ing ships for speed. It is enterprise good for her, and also good for the rest of the world if only because it evokes the kind of admiration which acts as spur to similar effort.

A RECORD OF SERVICE.

A picture of the manner in which the Associated Press non-profit making and cooperative news gathering and disseminating oranization of which The Empire is proud to be a member is serving the public given recently in radio address by Kent Cooper, General Manager of the organi- zaton. In one normal week, he showed, the Asso- ciated Press in it's news report had total word count of 2562715 words exclusive of the figures of bond and stock markets which, transmitted alone fill an average of twelve columns daily in the larger newspapers
 In the week covered by the count the first ever made by the organization there was news from 1850 different cities or towns throughout the world paper received all of this news fact there isn't newspaper in the world that could have used it all The average was 367oOO words for each day, or about 367 columns, equivalent to 46 newspaper pages Some of the report was of interest to every newspaper served by the Associated Press and was received by all of them The remainder was taken by papers the local sectional interest of readers demanded As MT. Cooper pointed out in the weeks report was contained the history of the worlds manifold activities for the period it covered
 It was made up of items sent from mem- Der papers all the world, and of reports from regular and special correspondents of tho organization They did not make the news It was made for them by people and their activities In the coverage of such happenings etc, the Associated Press constantly urges upon its cores pondents the importance of accurancy Get tht news get it first and get it accurately and com Dletely is the ideal it constantly holds up fol attainment.
 And in his radio talk MT. Cooper urged bette

lconception by the layman of the importance Of the tasks of the reporter. Tt is queer twist lof the laynans attitude toward the truth in news, lthat he will sometimes make every conceivable leffort to restrain the reporter from getting the truth and then denounce newspapers generally for one error out of a thousand assertions" he said, ladidng: Tn a days work the reporter may have Ito deal with the dregs of humanity through the
 maze of politics of commerce, of finance, of diplo macy, where the fates of nations decided and
 often he only finds Instructions purposely placed
 in his way but worse still effort is actually made
 to deceive and misead him."
 It is therefore, easy to understand the emphasis the Associated Press places upon its instructions to correspondents to be accurate It the public
 mpartiay, without bias, prejudice feeling of any kind It plays favorites politically religiously or for any other reason It is dependent upon none except it's membership papers, which of all political creeds and shades of opinion for its fnan- cial support and pays its way as it goes Under such circumstances it is not astonishing that it has earned such high reputation for and reliability.

THE POLL PROGRESSES.

The fourth weekly report of the Literary Digest Prohibition poll shows such small variation in the percentage of vote from the trend of the three preceding reports that it is scarcely noticeable With more than 10 per cent of the estimated 200oo0Oo- total canvassed the "rnoist-wet" combination still has a lead of almost three to one the totals being 1447003 for repeal and modification combined against 553 337 for continuation of the present sys- tenn.
 Examining the report, it is seen that 19 States and the District of Columbia return to date plur- alites for repeal These are California Connecti- cut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Illinois Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts, Michi- gan Minnesota Missouri, New Jersey, New York Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia and Wisconsin. Six of them-Deaware, Louisiana, Mis- souri, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island show majorities for repeal.
 The first nineteen States and as many more making 38 in all show majorities for the repeal and modification combination The second bracket includes: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa. Maine Mississippi Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina North Dakota, Oklahoma Oregon, South Carolina South Dakota, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Vermont. Two States-Kansas and Tennessee-gave majorities for enforcement.
 Two lines of argument being used by the Drys in defense of the polls results. The Anti Saloon League which has characterized the Digests canvass as straw ballot" contends that the sup porters of enforcement refraining from voting. There are other Prohibtonists who argue that the vote for enforcement rightfully should be linked with modification and that this combination is in the majority
 As to the Anti-Saloon League claim only time can prove or dsprove it's merit If the Digest polls anything like it's estimated 20000000 votes clearly that defense will not hold water since it cannot reasonably be claimed that the Digest handpicked the persons to whom it mailed ballots to the extent that it sent limited number to Dry supporters
 The effort to link enforcement to modification is too farfeched to deserve serious consideration Modification has been deleted from the dictionary used by the Anti-Saloon League and its cohorts Steadfastly it has turned down any proposal for modification and all legislation to that end has been merciessy killed through it's influence If it will not recognize modification in the halls of Con- gress neither it claim it the ballots whether straw otherwise.
 The repeal forces with propriety link their votes to that cast for modification. Both elements voice their desires for a change from the present atrocious system The fact that they seek different modes of effecting change in varying degrees does not divide them hopeessy does the ehasm that sets apart the fanatic Drys from the mainder of the country

Gold Production and Commodity Prices
Engineering and Mining JournalD


 i Notwithstanding new high records of gold pro- duction in South Africa and Canada last year, world output was little if any, in excess of that in the preceding year In fact, uniformity in this respect in recent times, with the Knowledge that steady although small declines in output from some gold fields noticeable, has caused some of the leading economists in the United States and in Europe to suggest the possibility that insufficient metal may be available to meet credit demands, arising from the normal expansion in world bus- ness. Should shortage of gold occur, some aver, its purchasing power under the present gold-bass financial scheme, would increase commodity prices would collapse and with credit curtailed business depression and hard times would follow This is the gloomy picture they would paint; but, In fairness it should be added that they also see in the adop- tion of wise international control of gold supplies and by other remedial measures, avoidance of any such calamitous situation
 To be forewarned is, perhaps-so far as a pos sibe gold shortage and world banking developments are concerned-to be forearmed At least such an assumption is warranted And for the forewarn- ing, credit must be given the economists. They would not have been fulfilling their duty had they remained silent. The mining industry however contribute to the discussion of the subject the in formation that the waning of gold production may be only temporary For instance, although the gold output of the United States and that of Australia will probably continue to decline, that of the Wit watersrand may be expected to be maintained for several years at it's present very satisfactory rate CdHdudS prOQuCuOn Will increase, ana more gold may be forthcoming from South America and Mexico Unexpored and undeveloped areas of Rus sia Africa, and Canada, not to mention New Guinea and Central America, offer possibilities for finding new gold deposits The prospect for cheaper and quicker transportation, improved technique in pros pecting and mining more efficient and omical metalurgical practice, and the consistent record of important gold discoveries during recent times-a these factors lend encouragement to the belief that after the next few years a gradual n- in ri,,otioo
 The possibility of gold shortage is a challenge to the banking world to develop ways and means to meet such contingency should it Such financial machinery might be necessary could be evolved to cope with any such situation. In brief therefore, the warning voiced by economists should occasion no alarm. Accumulation and use of money, "as s' by the individual and by business, with out fear of collapse of commodity prices as result of possible shortage of gold, would appear to be a safe and sane procedure

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
National Advertising Representatives


lnere Is another prophet Of disaster in the head
lines. Winthrop 3. Lane is secretary or the advisory
committee on penal institutions, probation and parole
OF the National Commission on Law Observance and
Enforcement. In a statement published in the cur
rent issue Of the Survey Graphic, he predicts that
many outbreaks will occur in state prison institutions
the country over He says not only do conditions tend
ing TO provoke outbreaks exist, ~but some OF these
conditions are worse than they were when the out
breaks Of the past year occurred"
Secy. Lane analysed the cause OF prison riots. They
are: Long sentences. especially those imposed by re-
cent legislation; elimination, or reduction Of good con-
duct time; fewer paroles, extraordinary and growing
overcrowding and idleneSs.
He predicts another outbreak may come in the
Ohio penitentiary and he names at least Is penal
institutions where the conditions are ripe for prison
riots. Texas is not included III the list. Why should
prison authorities eliminate good conduct time? Why
should there be fewer paroles for first offenders? Why
should there be extraordinary crowding with prisoners
housed where the conditions would not be inviting to
pigs in a sty? Why should prisoners be kept in
idleness?
Ask the practical politicians. Ask manufacturers
Ask organized labor. Gov. Moody and the senators
and representatives who followed his recommended
tions gave the people something to think as well as
talk about. There win be another legislature elected
in November. There will be a governor elected. Now
how far will the governor and the lawmakers 60 in
the wors of prison reform?
Gov. Moody is issuing paroles daily and he is wise
and humane in granting clemency to short time con-
victs. to men convicted OF minor offenses who have
shown By their records that they should be salvaged
and given another opportunity TO work out their own
salvation.

Don't talk to me about this being a dry summer
sneeled Elmer Twitchel today. Compared TO the
summer Of 1872 its positively wet. There was q dry
summer for you'll I don't remember much about IT,
but I've heard my father tell about 1t. 1t was so hot
that year that the farmers dug baked potatoes ana
buttered corn right on the stalk!
The corn was SO hot it smoldered for six weeks
and on my fathers farm eleven men were overcome
by smoke during one August day while trying TO help
the firemen stretch q hose to q point where they
could turn q stream on the crop and cool It enough 20
allow handling All crops were too hot TO handle
with the bare hands from the Fourth Of July until a
week after Labor Day.
My father wore asbestos gloves. but he got 50 burn
ed picking beans-they were baked beans by that time,
OF course-that he never was the same man afterward.
The bean crop was practically ablaze at the time and
we warned dad not to go in. Some Of the help res
cued him by plunging in behind a bucket brigade
mo man could 20 into a cabbage field that August
and come out alive unless he was well equipped with
fire extinguishing chemicals and wore a gas mask.
An uncle Of mine hit on an idea that won him honor
able mention from the President and saved the ma
ton millions Of dollars. He bought up a lot Of corned
beef and then went in and sowed Il among the plants.
Two hours later he went in with q hose wagon and
harvested the first crop Of boiled corned beef and
cabbage ever harvested in this country! Farmers
took 1t up all over the country after that. The cab
bage crop would have been a total loss in another
forty Eight hours.
1t was a trying year, I'll tell you: The cow gave
boiled milk and the grass was so hot we had TO wrap
their legs in burlap 50 they wouldn't burn their feet.
We lost twenty head Of cattle through spontaneous
combustion. A hefer broke out in flames while walk
ing to the sheds. and before anything could be done
the flames spread TO nineteen others.
We had a tough time with the poultry. The ground
was so dry and hard that every time a chicken
scratched it would throw out sparks. and we had to
have all the nests fitted with a water cooling device
SO we could get the eggs before they were roasted in
the shell The brooks and ponds were all dry and
the ducks took to r~oosting In the tops OF trees 50 they
could get the benefit OF any chance breeze.
How about the hogs?" Mr.. TwitcheIl was asked.
4 was coming to them" said Elmer. We didn't
have a hog on the place after mid-August. They Just
melted where they stood. The grease then caught fire
and that's how we lost mother"
What happened to her?"
She was SO hot she walked into the flames to get
cool" concluded Elmer.
