The New Administration
With this week a new administration is coming into
power and a new legislature begins its regular session.
Among other things the new executive — the youngest
this state ever had — advocated the abolishing of some of the
pardon evils.
The pardons and paroles from now on are not for sale,
Allred promised.
He would reorganise the state ranger and highway po-
lice into one force in order to obtain more efficient service.
But the main principle in which Allred differed from his
_ 'run-off opponent was taxation.

•he just died at hig home at „____JzTz. A ,
Chipping Campden at the age of 87.
He joined the staff of The Herald
in 1877 and later reported the Russo
SUtkisli war. He represented the
London Times in the Sudan cam-
paign of 1885, and afterwards work-
ad in London and Paris. Mr. Huy-
ahe was received into the Church
when he was 58 years old. The
Rev. W. R. Huyshe of Loughbo-
rcugh sang the Requiem Mass for
his father.
County Judge James A. Steele
and W. L. Koonce, administrator of
the Refugio County relief office, are
backing a movement to secure land
near the old site and to secure funds
for the contemplated labor to re-
build the old edifice from State and
Federal relief funds. The county
and city governments and citizens
will be asked to contribute funds
to supply material and pay other
expenses incident to the undertak-
ing.
The completion of highway system,
now being worked out for this 'co-
untry by the State Highway Com-
mission, Would make Refugio easily
accessible to all Centennial visitors
and the town's historical importance,
it is believed, would furnish suf-
ficient inducement to attract thou-
sands of transcients to the city in
1936.

Even the poorest farmer now pays the taxes because his

But hundreds of millions of dollars of invisible wealth

Since the states will have toxarry a larger share of

question before the present legislature.
Twenty million dollars of the state relief bonds have to

And some way has to be found to overcome the 15 mil-

A Powerful Lesson
The Russian novelists like the Russian music are the
best in the world, wrote Prof. William L. Phelps in his book
The Russian Novelists.”
,.,The.re is a vastness in the classics of the Russian fic-
tion like in the domain of our great state.
Indeed, Pushkin, Turgenev. Gogol 'postojevski'or Toi-
n-iy will perhaps be always worth reading.
In his great novel “The Resurrection”, Leo Tolstoy gives
a picture of Russian society in the seventies of the las? century.
This novel is now on the screen under the title “ We
live Again.”
A young nobleman becomes an army officer ’in spite of
iiis dislike of the army life.
A radical book he read makes him talk of free land, free
air and water, and equality of men.
On his estate he meets a peasant girl both beautiful and
innocent, and falls in love with her.
But this love is quickly forgotten when he returns among
the high society in the city, together with his radical dreams.
After two years, having a full taste of the dissolute
life, he meets his peasant love again on his estate.
He takes advantage of her innocence, wrongs her and
— forgets her.
Her child dies, and kicked out into the world, she is

is reverenced, but also criticized,
mistrusted, dodged and even hated,
yet he is most of the time busy, di-
rectly or indirectly, in serving the
people. Do you expect him then to
hold caid parties, dances, socials, ba-
zaars or do some manual labor a-
l side from his spiritual calling to
raise the money for his living and
building and equipment of churches?
No! Be glad to contribute cheer-
fully, as the commandment tells,
“according to our means, to the sup-
port of our Pastors, churches, schools
and religious institutions, and of Re
ligion generally.” I
Q. — "Can a couple who are mar-
ried quietly by a priest have a Nup-
tial Mas* afterwards?
A. — Yes, the Nuptial Mass with
its special blessing is usually linked
with the actual marriage, but not
necessarily so. It can be held after
some lapse of time following the ac-
tual wedding.
| Q. — Is lynching justifiable?
I A. —, Lynching cannot be justi-
fied from moral or legal standpoint.
Read the fifth amendment to the U.
S. Constitution. Capital punish-
ment is a means of self-defense used
by society and must ke used only by
legal representatives of society. If
private individuals exercised the
function, that would be murder of
revenge overthrowing public peace.
Q. — Is Ruth a Saint’s name?
A. — Ruth is a Saint of the Old
Testament.

Then the two meat again — this time the nobleman as
one of the jurors in the court and the girl charged with the
murder of which she is innocent.
Nevertheless she is sentenced to five years of hard la-
bor in Siberia.
The nobleman recognizes her, realizes his own guilt in
wronging her, and after much struggle, gives up everything,
divides his land among the peasants who worked it, and follows
the girl to Siberia.
That is his and her resurrection.
You see in the powerful picture the past Russia — the
wealth, corruption and cruelty on the one side and the pover-

Too much among a few — too little among many.
Tolstoy preached that the land should belong to those
who worked it — at least they should not be the serfs. But
books for a long time were suppressed.
Yet if some of his moral idealism would have been car-
ried out, Russia today undoubtedly would not have been bolshevik
Had the common people received education and land in
time, the revolution hardly would have appeared.
Every wrong, injustice and cruelty inevitably carries its
own punishment.
Hence the Russian rulers and high society are gone,
;"ther dead or scattered like leaves in the wind.
Somehow a nation can not be too rich among a few and
too poor among many.
Principally we can not continue with, farming where a
majority of soil toilers are mere serfs.
You can not have a prosperous country where a vast ma-
jority of people own little or nothing.
