THINKING TODAY ....
We are nearing the political
primaries, in Texas, in which
we are ready to choose the stan
dard bearers of the dominant
party; which is equivelant to e-
lecting state officers, as it has
been before, and we see no rea-
son to expect a change this
year.
The men or women receiving
the highest vote, in most cases,
will be the party nominees, and
these will be elected in the regu
lar November elections. In
cases where there are more
than two in the race for any
office, unless one should get a
majority of all votes cast, there
must be a second, or runoff pri

box were run to another; and
the man with the longest pock-
e book generally got the office,
if it was an important one.
We have progressed beyond
this in Texas, but up in Penn-
sylvania and other places, it
seems to be the same way now.
A senate committee has been
busy for some .time probing in-
to graft in the senatorial race
in Pennsylvania, where thous-
ands of dollars were spent, and
even millions, in defeating the
will of the people and electing
some man, who no doubt expec
ted to make it back in settling
some great problem.
It is claimed in the current
and the bad part of it seems to
be that the people have lost
conscience in the matter.
A drunk man, we are told,
thinks everybody else is drunk
and that the earth just rises up
and strikes him in the face; and
the grafter thinks every body
else is grafting and he had as
well do so too.
CHICAGO ELECTION JUDGES
INDICTED
Chicago, July 16.—Fortyfour
election judges and clerks who
served in Cook County’s April
primaries, including five wom-

EVOLUTION CUT FROM
TEXAS TEXTBOOKS
New York, July 18.— Young
Texans are to learn about de-
velopment instead of evolution.
Ne wYork publishers have alter
ed textbooks for use in Texas
in order to conform with the
provisions of the state laws,
which prohibit the teaching of
evolution. (
In “healthful living” by Jes-
sie F. Williams, published by OF OR
the MacMillian Company, the _
statement, “evolution is a slow ------------
and gradual process, and the
skelleton of man is the result
of centuries of developement",
is made to read: “The skeleton

sent many centuries of devel-
opment.”
