TWO
MEXICAN BISHOPS DEFY COMMUNISM
Ex-President Hoover, in his
Lincoln, Nebr. speech, offer-
ed his criticism ana sugges-
tions regarding the la.’m pro-
gram. More attention, in his
opinion, should tie given to
tnc distribution and market-
ing of the farm products.
4 f And Mr. Hoover is
right. But, not so long
Ago the ex-president was
in a position not only to
talk, but actually to do
something for the farm-
ers and everybody knows
what really happened.
* * *
"No Catholic can be a so-
cialist, understanding for so-
cialism any system which
neither recbgnizes the rights
of God and the Church, nor
the rights of all men to pos-
sess goods acquired by legiti-
mate worx or inheritance.”
So declared the Catholic
bishops of Mexico, defying
the Godless education. No
one here needs to be mistak-
en about our neighbor. For
it's always the same story—
first goes the religion, then
the property rights.
* m ‘ e
Like many others, the Mex
lean tyrants evidently learn-
ed nothing from the past.
Otherwise they would know
that even greater tyrants
than they saw their day and
went down, while the Cnurch
went on.

v Senator Connally hotly re
^nferited what he termed an
"insult” to the memory of
Woodrow Wilson by Senator
Nye, chairman of the com-
mittee Investigating the loans
to the Allies. But as it real-
v ly turned out - first went our
money, then our men.
• • *
Wilson, unquestionably,
was a great president,
but as the investigation
shows, he gave a secret
assent to the loans to the
Allies, while Bryan op-
posed them. Soon the
Allies owed u» too much
money and we could not
afford to have them lose.
So we went into war too.

Hauptmann is still alive
and Governor Hoffman is a
much criticized man for
granting him a reprieve. He
is even threatened with im-
peachment for this action.
<_ x * * *
But the Hauptmann case
is still much a mystery. Many
things remain yet unexplain-
ed. Under such circumstanc-
es 4t is not an easy thing to
Bend a man to his death.
What is ahead of farmers?
—Our State Commissioner of
Agriculture J. E. McDonald
is urging at Washington his
domestic allotment plan with
production unlimited but with
a bonus on a portion of, the
crop.

| MANDS RETURN
I OF LOST COLONIES
We don’t like the idea of
unlimited production plan. It
is our belief that our small
farmers would fare better un
der a "proper use of soil”
plan, already recommended
by the, government to Con-
gress. A farmer would have
to qualify first by proper
farming before he could get
any government benefits.
KIPLING FUNERAL
SLATED THURSDAY
London, Jan. 19. — The
body of Rudyard Kipling,
' i’s “great poet and au-
who died Saturday
____ng, will have its final
resting place in Westminis-
ter abbey,
mains of
tion’s famous men.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 17.
—A full-page newspaper ad-
vertisement today carried the
answer of Senator Huey P.
Long’s bodyguards to charg-
es that one of them killed
him.
The six guards who were
with the senator when he
was fatally wounded last
September 8, paid for the ad-
vertisement to call a "palpa-
ble fake” an assertion by
Rep. Cleveland Dear intimat-
ing that one of the six was
the assassin.
Dear, anti - administration
candidate for governor in
next Tuesday’s Democratic
primary, said in a radio ad-
dress that one of the “chief
bodyguards” is “now in an
asylum for the insane and I
am informed that he con-
stantly cries, "I killed my
best friend.”
At the time of Long’s
death all reports were to the
effect that he was fatally
wounded by Dr. Carl Austin
Weiss, Baton Rouge physi-
cian, who was slain by body-
guards. The guards testified
at a coroner's inquest that
Weiss fired the fatal bullet.
POLISH INVENTOR IS
HAILED AS REAL
FATHER OF TALKIES
Warsaw, Jan. 18.—An ab-
sentminded Polish inventor,
who hired safe-deposit boxes
and then forgot about them
is held by the Polish press
to be the real fatheb of the
talking picture. The press no-
minates Alexander Pruszko—
exact whereabouts unknown
—for the honor of having
given the movies a voice.
According to the accounts
published here, Pruszko hired
a box in a Warsaw bank in
1925. In 1928 he went to
America and since then has-
n’t been heard from; so the
bank opened the box and
found a bundle of technical
documents, including a cer-
tificate issued by the War-
saw Society of Technical
Students in 1909 stating
Pruszko had worked out the
principle of sounding repro-
duction on film.

the society is searching its
records for further details.

AGED RESIDENT OF
NADA DIES
Nada, Jan. 18.—Mr. Joseph
Kubesch, 89, a resident of
near Nada, for the past for-
ty years, passed away at his
home Tuesday morning, after
an illness of several months.
He was born in Europe, and
at the age of 28 came to
Texas, and settled near Wei-
mar and in the year 1895,
bought a farm near Nada
and resided there with his
wife, (who preceded him in
death) until his death.
Mr. Kubesch was a mem-
ber of the Catholic church.
—Funeral services were held
Thursday morning, at the
home of his son, Joe Ku-
besch, and at St. Mary’s
Catholic church at ten o'clock
with a Requiem High Mass,
with Rev. Benes officiating.
Burial was in the Catholic
cemetery. Surviving are three
sons, Emil of Hillje, Joe of
Nada, and Willie of Sabinal.
A number of grandchildren
and great grandchildren.
Active pallbearers were his
grandsons, Emil, Theodore,
and Herman Kubesch, Leo
Heyne, Henry and Fred Ku-
besch. •
BERLIN, Jan. 17. — Dr.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi
minister of propaganda, in a
defiant speech before a mass
meeting of 25,000 persons
Friday night warned the
world Germany sooner or
later must have colonies and
"the time is coming when we
must demand colonies.”
Ketemng to the Italo-Eth-
lopian conflict, Goebbels
suia: "The Italian people al-
so must live. A nation must
live somehow.
"Sooner or later a boiler
must explode. Whether in
this particular case the me-
thods employed are correct
is a matter on which I re-
serve judgment.”
Germany does not intend
to meddle in any way in the
"English - Italian • Ethiopian
contact,” the minister con-
tinued, “but what others pos-
sess we also must possess.
“We will not put up with
this indefinitely. We were
lashed into a treaty (Versail-
les) which not statesmen but
only cowards signed.”
Goebbels bluntly warned
the augmented Soviet army
to watch its step.
“If the Red army crosses
our border we will chase it
out with our Prussian Gren-
adier regiments,” he asserted.
Goebbels also took a fling
at the American press “which
accuses us of persecuting
Jews. They should first see
to it that American national
heroes do not have to flee
from their own country.”

BENEFIT SHOW, INSTEAD
OF DANCE.
(A. W. J., County Judge)
1'fte January session oi the
commissioners’ court was one
of the longest in years, re-
quiring three days to dispose
of the matters before it,
which varied from requests
for new roads, changing the
location of another, the wi-
dening of another road, and
setting the salaries of ihe
county officials for 1938.
Under the new law, die
commissioners’ court cannot
set such salaries at less than
the sums earned by the of-
ficials in 1935, in salaries and
fees together, whether sums
were actually received by
them or not — just so they
were earned.

HOUSTON CATH-
OLICS AGAINST
BIRTH CONTROL
HOUSTON, Jan. 18.—Laws
to prohibit the operation of
birth control clinics in Texas
probably will be asked at the
next session of the legisla-
ture, it was indicated Friday.
Catholic clergymen and lay
men joined in denouncing
such clinics as a menace to
civilization shortly after it
was announced that the Ma-
ternal Health Center of Hou-
ston would hold its first cli-
nic to provide birth control
information for married wo-
men of small salaried and
indigent families next Tues-
day.
The Houston Holy Name
union, an organization of Ca-
tholic laymen, will be asked
to request the legislation pro-
hibiting operation of the cli-
nics, W. E. Kendall, past
president, said.
“The Holy Name union will
hold its annual meeting on
January 28,” Mr. Kendall
said, “and I will introduce a
resolution to request the le-
gislature to enact laws mak-
ing illegal the operation of
birth control clinics.
“The Catholic church has
fought birth control through
all these centuries and will
continue to- fight it.”
Very Rev. George A. Wil-
helm, dean of the Catholic
clergy in Houston and pas-
tor of the Holy Name church,
said Houston Catholics will
demand withdrawal of sup-
port of the Social Service
bureau, which although not
connected with the Maternal
Health Center, will co-oper-
ate with it.
Father Wilhelm said that
if the birth control clinic is
tolerated, “we might just as
well close the schools and
churches and say ‘Go
Do anything you like.”

It defined as socialism any
system which “does not re-
