Demands Of The Federated Club
Women

Federated club women Of Texas are calling for a
new Texas. Speaking through Mrs p. F. Lindsey,
president OF the state organization, they are behind
a most worthy program.
They would have a new constitution for Texas.
They would connect all weather crossed state high
ways. They would have the lawmakers arrange a
recognized school system, a modern industrial prison
plant, an adequate public health service for every
community, a commonwealth Of state home owners
instead of a 10 per cent rural population Of the ten
ant class, a people that would build and patronize
art galleries and develop a distinctive Texas culture.
There is another feature of the program that should
appeal: The elimination Of billboards and other
eye sores as well as the conservation and growing Of
flowers and shrubs and trees" They demand legis-
lation against billboards. It is a long road to Tip
perary but the clubwomen are on the way.
Texas club women are going to construct a model
building for state headquarters in the city Of Austin.
They have purchased their lot and they have been
pledged thousands Of dollars for the building fund
AS for the Austin clubwomen out Of their own pock-
cts they purchased and are paying for a clubhouse
and grounds as attractive to the eye as any women's
club 'ui ing in America. This is said to be women's
age, a .yeriod of civilization where she has blossomed
the brightest. Now what will the harvest be?

to the fact that the problems raised by the World
War are not by any means all solved.
It is easy to see how tangled and vexatious inter-
national politics would become II Mr.. Gerard's pred.c.
ton should come true. Among other things. as he
points out. the United States would have scant hcre
Of ever getting back its loans from its former allies
An enormous amount Of re-arranging in the world Of
international finance would become necessary. ard
there is little doubt that it would breed a good deal
Of bad feeling.
There are sound reasons for believing that Mr.

Is a lawyer and a lawmaker. For years and years he
was in the forefront Of the warriors who directed the

that the proposed measure should have champions
within as well as without legislative halls.

Figuring Out The Election

One Of the incest things about American politics is
that ii affords all of us with no end OF pleasant and
instructive speculation.
Before the recent election, for instance, all Of the
experts were busy trying to guess how things were
going to go, and most Of the rest of us followed
them, made our own estimates. wondered If we might
be right. and altogether had a swell time. And now
that the election Is over the field is even broader
than before.
We can speculate now on the causes for the various
upsets. Nobody knows for sure, so we can keep it
up all year; and when We get that finished we can
start specializing about the probable effect Of this
election on the 1892 presidential race.
All of this hurts no one and is lots of fur Poll
tics is q great thing.

The Once Over

A metropolitan regional plan commission expresses
the amazing opinion that, after all. the Greek temple
influence in the designing Of h1t dog stands and
gas stations is out Of place. This will find approval,
on TIE part Of thousands of American tourists who
have wasted an hour wandering around a memorial
library before discovering It was impossible to get a
frankfIrt~r, roll and cup Of coffee there or have the
tires pumped up and the gas tank filled.

his marriage, says it was a mistake. Probably a mis-
