Happiness in Work.
Getting “Too Rich.’’
What Causes Crime?
Religious Mistakes.
By Arthur Brisbane
—Copyright. US6 by Star Co. .
HERE in tile West men do not con-
sider themselves unhappy un-
less they liuve too much money
W. B. Andrews lives at Fair Cnks
in the Sacramento Valley where
Herbert Flencbucker’n giant dredge
tears up rocks and sand washing out
the gold dust. He says with deepest
conviction “there is more happiness
in these hills than anywhere else in
the world only some of us are get-
ting too rich that's our only trou-
ble.”
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews typical of
this western country run an excel-
lent service station at Fair Oaks.
Stop there when you visit the Sac-
ramento valley and see one of
America's numerous "God's finest
countries."
JUST east of Flagstaff a .little
way back a lady living in a
small unpainted house had all her
washing out on the line shortly af^er
the sun rose this morning and it will
be thoroughly dry in this dry air
long before noon. Then after she
has fed the men. there will be noth-
ing to do before preparing supper
except to iron the wash and put it
away.
YOU don't know much about life
if you pity her. Everything
that she does is praised every word
she says receives respectful atten-
tion. She is infinitely more happy
than some New York woman that
daubs her lips thick with red paint
then goes to “bobs" to buy for
a pair $lO an ounce dancing slip-
pers that will pinch her poor toes.
Come West and see Arizona on tbe
way.
WOMAN. In her hours of ease is
uncertain coy and hard to
please and sometimes extremely
silly. Now she wants toymakers to
stop making tin soldiers because
they Fill children's minds with war-
like thoughts. Can you imagine
that?
Think of Eugene Field's little tin
soldier making its owner wnnt to
go out and kill somebody. Why tot
forbid selling little toy dogs to pre-
vent. children becoming dog fighters?
Governor smith of New
York demands official investi-
gation of crime. Two hundred an.l
sixty-two murders in New York
compared to Eondon s forty-two mur-
ders in one year seem too many.
The commission should begin with
bootlegging and hijacking. The out-
burst of crime is the plain result of
profitable violation of the prohibi-
tion laws.
When big men can make millions
ami little men. with barely intelli-
gence enough to pull a trigger can
make thousands by committing
crimes you will have plenty of
crimes committed.
NINE more Catholic priests have
been expelled from Mexico and
the French authorities order nil
images of Christ removed from pub-
lic hospitals.
Mexico's expulsion of priests will
increase the strength of the Catholic
church there.
The action of French authorities
will diminish many women's and chil-
dren's chances of recovery. There is
no medicine as powerful as faith
and many a poor soul has struggled
back to health comforted by the
thought. “He died on the cross for
me." That may be superstitious to
the modernist but it's a fact.
A SOLEMN Washington dispatch
says the President and Cabi-
net discussed the Wall Street scare
and “President Coolidge let. it be
known tlint he felt th'»-e was nothing
taking place in the business world
symptomatic of a letup in the pres-
ent prosperity."
Tbe trouble just “nervous pros-
perity" among some of tbe gamblers
afraid of their own profits.
The revised income tax rate 'Till
bring hundreds of millions out of the
income tax proof non-taxable securi-
ties and business will boom more
■ ban ever.
Some day wo shall have to pay for
that war and our share in it; that's
several years off.

Officers Redouble Efforts
in Search for Lost
Sergeant.
Although despairing of finding him
alive military police and city author-
ities redoubled their efforts in the
search for Military Police Sergeant
H. C. Clausius late Saturday when
it was learned that two men were fol-
lowing tbe missing officer when be
was seen last.
Sergeant Clausius disappeared
about 6 p. m. Thursday when he
failed to keep an appointment with
Sergeant S. J. Maloukis. in charge
of the downtown military police.
SEEK BODY IN RIVER.
The missing sergeant whose body's
sought in Salado creek .was walking
along Santa Rosa avenue at dusk
Thursday and two men were seen
slinking along behind him. officers
were informed Saturday. The pair's
gestures are said to have indicated
they were discussing Sergeant
Clausius.
With only a meager description of
the two believed to have shadowed
the sergeant police are handicapped
in their hunt.
And while officers search the
downtown area and seek answers
from the sluggish waters of Salado
creek ominous "inside” information
persists in emanating from San An-
tonio's underworld. It is to the effect
that Sergeant Clausius is dead.
FEAR DEATH.
And even as they conduct their
search officers are beginning to ac
cept these evil forebodings as the
truth.
Sergeant Clausius had scores of
enemies whose hate for him increased
daily during the three years he was
attached to the downtown military
police. He had sent some men to
prison for life and arrested others
who paid the extreme penalty.
And it is at the hands of their
friends that police fear he met death.

LANDIS H
JOB ROUGH
SLEDDING
By BESS CARROLL
“The man on the bench” banding
out sentences of life and death —
“The man behind the bat” in Ameri-
can baseball deciding whose base it
was and why—
Which do you think would be the
hardest job?
“Now these are the laws he must
follow —
And many aud mighty are they.”
BOTH HARD JOBS.
Both the laws of men and the laws
of the game! And Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Landis czar of baseball
once a famous federal judge says he
thinks it’s just about a 50-50 job to
“timp” the grave decisions of the dia-
mond and to mete out justice.
"We—eel I honestly can't say
which is the hardest job” he said
after much pondering as be began
the second day of his visit in San
Antonio.
“In a way baseball decisions are
just as important to those concerned
as any decision is to any man.”
HIS ONE FEAR—WOMEN.
You know instinctively whet you
look at the tali white-haired man that
only justice could come from him. His
appearance indicates his complete lack
of fear.
Not quite a complete lack exactly.
For there’s one thing Judge Landis
is afraid to do. He won't um-
pire a baseball game between wom-
'en’s teams.
LIKES SAN ANTONIO.
Judge Landis smiled when he was
asked how he liked San Antonio. Wax-
ing warm and eloquent he declared
that as a baseball training center it
was “great wonderful” and many
other explosive adjectives.
As he started a tour of the Aiamo
and other places of interest in San
Antonio Judge Landis confided a
parting fact:
“Past! If it wasn't for having to
stay at the home plate in Chicago. 1
might play golf here the rest of my
days!” he concluded

Mother Wins Divorce
And Custody of Tots
Decree Ends Bitter Court
Battle and Fight
for Kiddies.
A simple story of an unhappy mar-
riage told bj- Mrs. Virginia Canaday
in Judge McCrory's court Saturday
ended the long struggle of the San
Antonio mother for tbe custody of
her two children and gained for her
a divorce from her husband Roscoe
Canaday millionaire New York manu-
facturer.
And with her decree of absolute di-
vorce came a permanent injunction
forever restraining the father from
removing either of the children from
Bexar county.
TELLS OF ABUSE.
Thus ends the long fight for the
children which reached a climax when
little Roscoe. 4 was seized in San An-
tonio and spirited away to New York
and the resultant seizure of the boy
in Queens county New York and
his later appearance in San Antonio.
Mrs. Canaday was the only witness.
She told of marrying Canaday June
24 1914. They went to New York.
A life of hardship began the witness
testified.
He rarely came home in time for
supper. One night I remonstrated with
him. He struck me across the face.
This was a month before Josephine
was born.”
CHILD SEIZED.
Shortly before Roscoe the third
child was born Mrs. Canaday said
her husband became enraged because
little Josephine was crying.
“He threw the child against the
closet door and then slapped me when
I attempted to pick her up” she tes-
tified.
Sho said that when Canaday came
to San Antonio he. told her she could
admit that she had been a fool and
go back to New York or that he
would take the children. Two days
later she testified that Roscoe was
seized and an attempt was made to
seize Josephine.
A Bexar county grand jury indicted
Canaday on a charge of kidnaping Ros-
coe and a Queens county. New York
grand jury later indicted Mrs. Cana-
day. But tbe New York courts re-
fused to extradite Canaday and Gov-
ernor Miriam Ferguson stood back of
Mrs. Canaday. Then a Bexar county
grand jury exonerated Mrs. Canaday.

MEXICO'S ro
HELD MB BN
CATHOLICS
Declaring that the present war in
Mexico is against Catholic institutions
and that the Protestant institutions
will be allowed to function virtually
without molestation he Rt. Rev. Ar-
thur J. Drossaerts. bishop of the
Catholic diocese of San Antonio. Sat-
urday issued a statement in which he
severely arraigns the Mexican govern-
ment for its action.
Conditions imposed by the govern-1
ment. he asserts make it virtually
impossible for the Catholic establish-
ments to reopen.
DROSSAERTS’ STATEMENT.
His statement follows
“The condition under which our
schools are allowed to open are such
that the thing is well-nigh impossible.
How the Methodists and other de
nominations can get along under such
conditions is a mystery to me. But I
have it on good authority that the
war-to-the-death is only meant for t’ue
Catholic institutions and the Protest-
ant schooli will be left pretty well
unmolested. (I do not consider this
leniency a very great compliment to
the Christian schools outside those of
the Catholic Church.) According to
the ukase of Mr. Calles all teachers
must take an oath that not a word
shall be spoken about God or Chris-
tianity ; the sisters can not wear their
distinctive garb even within the walls
of their own residence. The teachers
must reside outside the college in pri-
vate homes. The crucifix or any em-
blem of religion must be eliminated
from all the rooms. The chapels are
sealed by the police to make sure that
no religious services shall be held!
What glorious freedom!

Attorney General Enters
Campaign Against
‘Ma’ Ferguson
AUSTIN March 6.—Dan Moody of-
ficially announced for the governor-
ship of Texas Saturday night in an
1800-word statement and stated he
will conduct a vigorous campaign for
the Democratic nomination. His plat-
form is based almost entirely on hon-
esty in government.
Announcement of Attorney General
Moody'« candidacy came ax somewhat
of a surprise in political ciseles here.
It had been rumored io capito! circles
that the young attorney general might
not make the race for another two
years.
“Ma” Ferguson announced for re-
election a week ago.
FLAYS MA'S HUSBAND.
As a preamble to his platform the
attorney general flays tlie husband ot
the governor because of his activities
in advising his wife and for his par-
ticipation in many conferences con-
cerning governmental affairs. He
then announces the planks of the plat-
form upon which he will make his race
before the people introducing them
with the statement:
“In the interest of an honest and
efficient government and in obedi-
ence to a sense of public duty I offer
myself as a candidate for governor and
proclaim the paramount and vital
issue to be honesty in office and econ-
omy in the administration of every
department of our government.
REFERS TO RECORD.
“I believe that in the honest and
economical administration ot the gov-
ernment sufficient money is now being
collected to more than meet the needs
I of the government and that there should
be no increase of taxes. If honored
with your confidence as chief execu-
tive of this state. I pledge my record
in the past to carry out the following
policies :
1 “To thoroughly expose and use
every power of the office to bring
to justice those responsible for tbe in-
roads which have been made into the
publie treasury through the letting oi
excessive and unconscionable con-
t racts.
O "To see that the principle of
honesty is recognized in every
branch and dealing of the govern-
ment.
. O "To appoint clean high class
honest and capable men and wom-
en to every public office under th*
। administration.
A "To see that the people of this
. state get a dollar’s value for every
 dollar that is expended by every de-
 partment of the state government and
to attempt to uncover every leak
through which public funds are now
j dissipated. Adequate laws should be
8 passed to protect the public funds
t from dissipation aud punish those re-
; sponsible.
E "To see that the law of this state
is justly and fairly enforced.
 zy "That I will NOT cripple tbe ef-
. w forts of the law-enforciug officers
e by wholesale pardone— considering
r applications for pardons only upon
; tbeir merits. 1 believe in tbe reason-
r able exercise of the pardoning powvr
n but I am opposed to the wholesale
v granting of pardons at the importu-
nities of political or pardon brokets
