Texas Invites the Tourists.

Texas is in the market for tourist
travel. 1t feels that it is not get
ting its share of the "see America
first business and is now moving to
draw to its great domain some of the
millions of vaCationiStS who annually
leave their homes and seek diver
sion, entertainment and inspiration
elsewhere. It has been somewhat lag
gard in the enterprise of attracting
visitors from the other States, while
great tide has annually set in to
pour millions Of dollars of tourist
money into the other Southern COM
new deal in this respect if Texas can
effectively shuttle the cards.
In a recent issue of the Texas
Weekly, lively and interesting jour-
nal published at Dallas. is printed an
appeal to the people of Texas to cam
paign for this business, noting as an
incentive that several weeks ago
representatives Of Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia. Alabama and
Florida met at Charlotte, N. c., and
formed the Southern Development
Board, the aim of which is to CO.
ordinate and promote the efforts of
those six States to develop the tourist
business, with a specific program to
raise a million dollars to be spent in
advertising the section over a period
of five years.
Texas is about to celebrate the CEN
tennial of its independence from Mex
leo, and an exposition is planned,
which, according to the Weekly, is
expected to become "even more the
mecca of tourist travel than the Gen.
tury Of Progress in Chicago" And
work is under way to that end through

than just two, as most yards have?
Ha, ha, hal Tell us another one.
And we will show our independence,
we will, of this stuck-up person and
his claims to knowing something How
can he know anything? Don't we
know him? And is it possible that
we-er-er-know anybody who does
know anything? Oh. no, we don't
mean exactly that, but-why, old Tom
Jones doesn't know any more about
it than we do. We can swear to it.
No, he has no oyster shells around
! his beds, so we will use plenty of
shells and plenty of big rocks, too.
He has no beds, either, so We will
put in plenty of beds, right in the
middle of the yard, if We want to.
He has no tower effects, so we will
put in tower effects, as much as we
please, especially when we discover
that old Tom frowns upon them.
Look at the fine tower up the block.
OF course, it did look a little strange,
at first, but now that we have got
used to it it strikes us as rather pretty.
We will have one exactly like it.

So the world refuses to move.
No doubt when we 90 to heaven
all will seem beautiful and wonderful,
for a time, but after we become
acquainted with the place the angels
will not look so swell, after all.
Familiarity breeds too much con-
tempt.
We ought to be able to use our
eyes better, and to believe in what
we see.
We ought not to have envy poking
us from behind, whispering that old
Tom Jones really doesn't know any
thing about anything.
Maybe he does.
Maybe we would be better of for
believing that he does.
II X y
Whatever we do, or do not do, let
us not get to the point where we
initiate some one who does not know,
just so we will not have to suffer
the mental indignity Of modelling our
selves on some one whom we rather
suspect does know!
There is no way, Of course, Of find
ing out how much this little mental
attitude has slowed up the progress
of the world. 1t is very widespread,
however, much more so than many
of us would care to admit. Perhaps
there is no human being entirely
free from its insiduous influences.
One thing, however, the earnest
man will see to- (And surely there
is much to be said for the earnest

Especially in crowds, even the small
est groups, there is a sad tendency to
acquiesce in the statement thrown
out by one who makes no effort to
combat this influence: "Oh. he
doesn't know anything about it."
The wise person may do more than
he does to counteract such anti
propaganda by speaking up, right in
meeting, in favor of the accused.
He may point out, quietly If pos
sible, that the man in question surely
would be the dumbest person in the
world If he didn't know something,
and that where there is an accusation
of know nothing" there usually is
more than suspicion that true
knowledge is present.
Those who really know nothing are
seldom discussed, even. But, alas, too
often initiated.

Needless Night Noises.

London has started a campaign
against night noises and dispatch
from that capital tells that the first
results have been astonishingly sue
cessful. An order of the ministry of
transport was issued, prohibiting the
sounding of all automobile horns and
sirens between eleven thirty at night
and seven in the morning in a five
mile area from Charing Cross. On
the first night three thousand extra
police were posted Throughout, the area
and so universally was the order re-
spected that no arrests were made and
only few cautions were given.
1t would be altogether desirable to
adopt such a measure in this country
In this city particularly. for the nuis-
ance of nocturnal horn blowing is q
grieyous one, affecting thousands who
have no remedy or measure of relief
And there are other altogether need
less noises that are tolerated because
Of the lack Of effective regulations ir

prohibition. which disturb the rest OF
residents, such as the clashing of milk
bottles as the dairy wagons make their
rounds, a sound that is particularly
irritating to the sensitive ears of light
sleepers.
An anti-noise campaign, vigorously
prosecuted, would be welcomed by
many thousands of present sufferers.
They would want it TO be conducted
with regard not merely to the motor
horns and the milk bottles, but to the
late radios and the crashing sounds of
the electric traction service. Whether
the tracked service is ever replaced by
individual units or not, some leSSening
Of the din of car movement is de-
manded in the interest of public rest.
1t may be assumed that there is
need of some kind of an order against
needless noises during the hours Of
sleep, and the example set by the
authorities of London may well be
followed by the District Commission
ers. 1t is, however, to be remarked
that there would be considerable
difference In the degree of effective
ness here and there In London, as
noted, the order against horn blowing
was obeyed without question. For it
is the habit of the Britisher to respect
the law and the rules Of order, Un-
fortunately, that is not the habit Of
the American people. However, it
would be worth trying TO see how
many car drivers there are in the
Capital who have regard for authority
and for the peace of the community.

A. A. A. Reverses Itself.
rom the Rlchmond Times Dispatch.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Nature has forced the A. A. A. dras-
tlcally to revise its program for "con-
troll" Of the 1885 crop. AS was FORE
cast, Government experts" are plan
ming to permit replanting Of some
10, ,0Oo, 900 acres retired this year.
Obviously, the A. A. A. In seeking
to aid the farmer, has, with the assist
ance Of the drought, succeeded chiefly
in producing another problem for the
administration 10 meet. That prob
lem is the curbing Of food pfo1teers.
Washington officials frankly admit
that attempted food profiteering Is
inevitable" The Government now Is
rallying its forces to protect the con-
sumner from unreasonably high prices.
THIS it must do, II 1t hopes to receive
continued political support from the
public, for the army of consumers Is
considerably larger than the army Of
farmers.
One suspects that A. A. A. higher
command" is frankly frightened.
Once more brain trust theory has
looked better on paper than in prac-
tice.
This years crop shortage, while it
may impose added burdens on the
housewife, does not yet present criti-
cal problem. But should next year
and the year following be marked By
droughts, should IN the meanwhile q
world war break out, the country
would be IN serious lurch.
It is highly probable that 1885 win
be marked by less radical "tinkering"

cal farmers.

the planning, execution and conduct
of the big show.
With an area of 265.896 square
miles. Texas is the largest State in
the Union. 1t is so big that 1t con-
tains 254 counties. 1t has-as enum-
Grated in 1930-approximately 6,000,-
900 population. There is room for a
great many more people-millions
more. But 1t is not for the purpose
of adding to the permanent popula-
, ton of the State that this movement
is now in progress What Texas
chiefly wants at present is visitors and
their dollars. 1t is handicapped some
what by the fact that it contains no
great natural wonders, such as the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado in
Arizona, of the Yosemite and the zig
trees of California or the mountain
masses of Colorado or the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky. But it is not lack
ing in scenery of an attractive char
acter, and its very bigness is an asset.
The problem now confronting the
Texans, who are ambitious to enter
tain a profitable share of the vaca-
tioning tourists of America, is to "sell''
the State in terms of diversion, nov
city. climatic clemency and general
interest. If some one could dig up a
few rnaStodons or find great hole
in the ground or petrified forest the
task would be easier, and with the
spirit that made Texas independent
and brought it into the Union and
developed its natural resources there
would surely seem to be some way to
divert the stream of Summer travel to
the Lone Star State sufficiently to
make the effort profitable. The very
distance required to be covered by the
average tourist in reaching such a
goal might become an asset in these
days of good roads and speedy in
dividual travel.

The Dear Old Door Jamb.

A year ago the country was amused
and somewhat chagrined by an cpl
sode at a club house on Long Island,
when a Senator Of the United States
was disfigured in some manner in the
course of an alteration over some
question or other. 1t is necessary thus
to mention the matter in indefinite
terms inasmuch as the real circum-
stances of the case have never been
automatically set forth. The central
figure of the incident declared that
he had been ''ganged." He bore
the mark of wound or bruise over
one eye. He had indubitably been hit
by something. At any rate, the
Battle of Sands Point" went into
history.
Now comes a man with the state
ment that this incident has been ie-
ported all wrong, that in fact nobody
ever hit the Senator, but that it was
believed that he had struck his head
on a door. This person, who acknowl-
edges that he was the Senator's host
on the occasion, AYERS that the Incl
dent is a feature of a ''Vilihcation
campaign, an attempt to destroy a
man through ridicule"
That good old door jamb! How
often it has furnished an alibi for an
indiscretion! And the worst of it all
is that very often the door jamb has
been alone responsible for a black eye
and suspicion of a fracas is wholly
unwarranted. But the joor jarnb
theory will not remove the stigma
that attaches to the repute of the leg
islstor, for he was himself quite vocal
in his own denunciation of his aSsail-
ants-he insisted that there was more
than one.
it was fist or a door jamb that hit
the Senator's eye. It matters nothing
whatever whether it was an accident
or a bit of direct-action rebuke for
misbehavior. Since the battle of
Sands Point a great deal has happened
to bring the Kingfish into the focus
of public attention, and not at all
favorably. Indeed, he went almost
directly from the battle ground on
Long Island to Milwaukee and there
in public grossly offended the news
paper fraternity by public excoriations
and was rebuked by the organization
which he was addressing. Then came
series of performances in the po-
Iitical field that establish a record
for audacity and disregard for the
law. Sands Point has been all but
forgotten. 1t was a grave mistake for
the friend of the only victim of that
engagement to try to correct the pub
lie understanding of the happening.
And doubtless the victim himself
wishes it had not been attempted.

1t is not treachery to decide that
the time has come for a change in
the government, and they will not
be so quixotic as to think that it is
so. Real treachery would be to re-
fuse to change their leaders, or fail
themselves to take the lead, when
their existing leaders are obviously
leading them in what they consider
the wrong way: and 1t would be
treachery, not against person or
a party, but against their country.
Whether one would agree to their
choice of the new leader is a differ
ent question, with which we are not
now concerned. The question is:
What are the chances Of resto-
ration of the monarchy? And in
the foregoing pages I have tried to
set them out briefly, but without
omitting any serious influence in
that direction.
Hindenburg, Won Papen and
Goring, with a number Of others,
always shaky in their faith in Hit
Ter and the National Socialists and
suspicious. of the actions of the pres
ent regime, have been potential
supports of new monarchiSt move
ment in Germany which for various
reasons they have all declined to
lead, with the possible exception of
Hindenburg, who, as have already
said, always regarded himself as a
trustee for the imperial family. Out
side Germany there is the ex-Kaiser
himself and his trusty and ac-
knowledged friends, the aristocracy
and conservatives of other European
countries, whose natural feeling is
that the proper and only satisfac-
tory rule for any nation is a mon
archy, and the Jews. who have suf-
fered moral and material loss under
National Socialism. How soon these
will join forces to upset the Hitler
government one cannot say, but the
signs are growing daily that such
time is not likely to be long delayed.

Part Of the press gives commenda-
ton to the action of the administra-
tion in taking membership in the
International Labor Office, as au-
thorized by Congress. 1t is recog-
nized as a cooperative effort to I'M
prove the general understanding of
labor problems and to exchange In
formation among the nations. Oppo-
sition to the League of Nations Is
expressed in comments which point
out that the labor Office does not
impose any mandates of the League
on its members.
"At this Office" according to the
Newark Evening News. labor Is CO.
operating internationally to improve
its lot and to elevate its living stand
ards. Progress cannot be made by
elevating these standards in one coun-
try and depressing them in another.
That means confusion, friction and
loss, not only for labor, but for all
of us. There is no higher endeavor
than improving the lot Of man and
no undertaking in which the United
States can engage more heartily. The
weight of its influence is needed on
the side Of those who are struggling
upward"
American participation represents
a long step forward in the realization
of the hope of those who believe
that labor should act internationally
rather than nationally" says the CO.
lumbuS (Ohio) Evening Dispatch,
while the Baltimore Sun holds that,
"All in all, this Is modest but en-
couraging advance toward some ac-
ceptance of our world responsible
ties" The Sun adds: If disaster
does not overtake the world before
our long period of cautious snifing
at the door is over, we may yet pro-
ceed from glory to glory, and actually
join up In something really i'm
portant."
The Kalamazoo Gazette holds that
"the prospect of getting the whole
world to adopt a uniform work week
may not seem particularly bright, but
it is certain that no harm can come
from a continuous exchange of in
formation and opinions on the mat
ter" The New Haven Journal
Courier remarks that, as Hiram
johnson is involved in a campaign
for reelection and Senator Borah is
conyalescing from a recent Illness"
comment on connection with the
League 'is not particularly vehement"
and that paper offers the Judgment
on the subject: 1T was difflcult to
believe that an administration for
mally pledged to the cause of labor
would refuse the International Labor
organizations invitation. 1t is also
difficult to believe that American ac-
ceptance will not prove of value to
all nations represented, the United
States included among them"
Satirically suggesting that I'VE al
ready had membership in the Interna-
tional Postal Union," and asking If
international" does not mean 'red,"

states: Horrors! The United States
has joined the League of Nationsl Not
quite the League itself, to be sure, but
the International Labor ONCE, which
is next door. in the same enemy city
of Geneva, and is, in everything but
technical identity, almost the same
thing. Still worse, we have joined 1t
without the usual Senate reservations:
() That in joining it we do not join
