There is no doubt about this

—for those who can afford it.
Those who can’t, it's just another

can be done with more or less

expense than hiking off to the

Business in Texas is suffering
from an epedemic of politics and
the press is helping to spread the
disease by giving the politicians
too much free publicity. A hotel
proprietor recently told me that he
wished he could close his hotel un-
til after the primaries? He admitt-
ed that the hotels perhaps suffer
less than any other business per-
haps in the heated campaigns, but
said that the increased political pa-
tronage was more than offset by
the loss of commercial business.
There is more street-corner idling
in Texas now than in the most
serious unemployment days. If
this were confined to white-collar
One never hears the question,
“How’s business?” but the greet-
ing invariably is, “How’s politics?”

Davidson can’t or won’t wage
such a campaign, therefore there

Lynch Davidson is out of the
race for governor. He was never
really in the race, but admiring
friends had his name entered as
a candidate. In declining to con-
test for gubernatorial honors this
year we believe Mr. Davidson
made a wise choice. He is a good
man, and would have served well
as state’s chief executive, but he
is not the type of man to win
political races. The winner of a
political race these days must be
a hard fighter, and he must ride
icated candition. To make the
punishment greater, and also to
protect the families of those con-
victed against want, a judge has
hit upon the scheme of jailing
the drunken drivers on Sundays
and holidays until the thirty days
have been served. The punishment
is greater, and greater protection
is given the public, for the reason
that the days when the fellow
could be driving he is in jail and
during work days he can labor for
the support of his family. The
best scheme for dealing with care-
less women drivers, however, must
be credited to a Dallas man. A
flapper struck his car one day
last week, which caused his anger
to rise to fever heat. He .ran the
flapper down, crowded her into
the curb, pulled her out of her
car, turned her over his knee and
spanked her until she yelled from
pain and had to eat her meals
standing up. She’ll be careful
whose car she hits henceforth.

There was a little more “farm

other farm relief measuures, how-
ever, this one “relieves” the farm-

he has left, and virtually relieves
him of the little chance he had
to earn a livelihood. The farmer
must now pay a little more for
the necessities of life which he
must buy, and sell what he has
to sell in a world-free market.

Last week the supreme court of
Texas upheld the acts of former
Land Commissioner J. L. Robin-
son. It will be remembered that
about two years ago Mr. Robin-
son advertised certain state lands
for sale, and that the regents of
the university and certain state
officials tried to persuade him to
withdraw the lands from the mar-
ket. Robinson took the position
that under the law this could not
be done and proceeded with the
sale as provided by law. This ac-
tion stirred up much strife, follow
ing which impeachment proceed-
ings were instituted against Rob-
inson. The charges were not sus-
tained, but Robinson’s life was
saddened, and in a few months he
died. We knew J. L. Robinson,
and looked upon him as a splen-
did man and one of the best of-
ficials the state ever had. The
vindication of his acts by the su-
preme court came too late to
soothe his wounded heart, but it
must be comforting to those who
loved him and trusted him to the
uttermost
