Passing of a Famous American

Ever the grim reaper IL In our midst and ever the
dsash angel loves the shining mark. 1t will be a great
shock to the people Of America, regardless of party, the
death without warning Of Dwight w. Morrow, famous in
the annals Of American finance, in the field Of diplomacy,

Late In life he invaded the fields of politics and be-
eame q United States senator of New Jersey by a vote
that was overwhelming at the polls. He had been look
ideal presidential standard bearer should Herbert Hoover
step aside.
His achievements had been many. He had been a
success in every field of endeavo ror activity he invaded.
He wa born a poor boy. He was the master of his own
destiny. For years he was one of the high chiefs of the
powerful international banking house of Morgan and
company. He represented his country abroad on many
delicate diplomatic missions. He was sent to Mexico by
a republican president as ambassador of the United States
to iron out religious and financial problems for an unhappy
people and his mission was crowned with success.
He brought together the warning factions in the
religious crisis which threatened the stability OF the
republic.
He was acclaimed at home and abroad as one of the
foremost messengers of the gospel Of world peace and
then to crown it all he was nominated for United States
senator and his victory at the polls was overwhelming.
In that campaign he declared for the repeal of the 18th
amendment. He described it as a complete failure. This
was a great blow to the ultra drys of the country.
Dwight Morrow had a career of usefulness as an
American statesman. He had a record of useful achieve
ments for humanity behind him. Now he is coffined
clay and a political son of mediocrity will be his successor
in senate hall. His son-inlaw, Col. Charles Lindbergh,
and Mrs. Lindbergh have been flying around the world.

the famine districts of China. Only Sunday the an

Cost of Legislation in Texas

Cost of legislation is high. Perhaps it is worth the
price. Texas lawmakers have been very busy since early
in the month of January. According to a lynx-eyed cor
respondent, with $50 days of the regular session, 80 days
of the first called session and &c days of the extra-ordin-
airy session which adjourned Saturday the 42nd legisla-
ture used 1876 days and the members received $500 for
their services. A reminder that the payroll of the 181
lawmakers thus far has aggregated 1886, $50 and to that
must be added an almost equally large expense due to
the number of employees and contingent demands. Many
important laws were enacted. Many worthless bills were
defeated. Congressional redistricting of the state re-
mains unfinished business. Will there be a special ses-
sion in the winter months? There is no telling what will
happen, in a political or legislative sense, away down
here in Texas or in the legislative halls of all American
commemorative. Mental alteration is one of the pathetic
features of the so-called depression the country over.

Daily Health
Talk

This time Of year children are
either back in school or getting ready
to start. 1t Is necessary to emphasize
that the child's health is the most
important consideration. 1t ought TO
have an examination as to its sight
and hearing, because it will certainly
not be able TO Keep up with other
children unless Il has equal capa-
city. Its nose and throat ought to be
looked after, because infections in
the nose and throat are associated
with bad appetite, failure to enjoy
proper exercise and rest, and there
fore lowered mental ability.
Every year hundreds Of children
are killed or seriously injured in
street accidents because they have
not been advised concerning such
dangers. In addition, when the child
leaves home surroundings and goes
out In the world II comes In contact
with other children who swap apples
or candy and who play with knives
and other dangerous weapons and
who try to persuade the child to
catch rides on the back of motor
cars and who in other ways may
subject him to danger. A warning
win not always prevent the posi-
bility, put sometimes It will. and GER
tainly the child has q right to such
information as Is available.
Other OF the most serious condi-
tions which can affect human be-
ings are definitely preventable by
modern scientific methods. These are
smallpox and diphtheria. Most
schools require anti-smallpox vac
cination. IN n great number Of COM
munities the use Of diphtheria toxin
antitoxin Is also compulsory. Tie

Among Ihe most serious considera-
tons. particularly in times Of
