There are many weak pointe in the Texas elec-

where a Democrat secures a nomination for office
on the Democratic ticket and then given aid and
encouragement to bolting other Democratic nomi-
nees on the same ticket There should be some
way of releasing loyal Democrats from supporting
such a nominee but eo far as the Times to aware
there is no honorable wsy in which they can refuse
to give their vote to each a nominee, even though
they know the nominee Is aiding the opposition
ticket and trying to bring about the defect of come

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Navy
officers declare that the Washing-
ton armament agreement made the
military defense of the Philippines
impossible-er nearly ea.'
Of course it’s impossible to quote
individual officers to this, effect;
they can’t afford to involve them-
selves in trouble with the adminis-
tration. But it would be difficult
to find eno who does not feel that
the Philippines would be lost to the
United States within a week after
the first hostile move by Japan-
which is the only power considered
In connection with any suggestion
of a war. Involving this country, la
the Pacific. rdf Er
Once lost, the exports agree that
recovery of the islands would be
possible only at the coot of years,
brobably, of fighting, and on expen-
diture running into the millions. —
The point Inowhieh the Washing-
ton agreement to. blamed le “inepre-
venting America from fortifying
any naval base west of Hawaii-
Guam, to be specific
cording to every competent Judge,
would settle down to a prolonged
blockade of the Japanese coast- a
blockade in which every advantage
would be on the side of the island-
ers.
' In a short, sharp struggle, navy
men say, the United States might
be regarded as fighting on fairly
even terms with Japan if her war
fleet had twice the strength of
Japan's. To maintain a blockade,
they declare three or four times
Japan’s strength would be neces-
sary—end then it wouldn’t be easy.
A glance at the map will con-
vince any layman of the difficulty
of catting on Japan from the Asla-
Ue mainland.

MORAL IMBECILITY.
Writing in McNaughts, that monthly of tasty
flavor and meaty pabulum, Joseph Collins M. D.
says that if he bad made ten million motor ears, or
Struck oil or organized a successful chain of five
and ten cent stores he would dispose of a very con
siderable part of his wesith for the study of moral
imbecility and how to overcome it. Concluding his
article he makes this challenge: “This country has
such a deaf sar to the League of Nations it may
geem to many absurd to propose a League for the
Study and Treatment of Moral Imbecility. It might
make for more benefit to humanity than the League
at Nations. And I am willing to stand back of the
proposals with ideas and money.”
■ When a man goes that far he' is evidently in
carnest, and perhaps ws will liear further discus
on the proposal.
S.Dr. Collins describes the moral imbecile as the
individual “who, knowing the difference between
light and wrong, does wrong without experiencing
Humiliation or self-depression and who repents with
■s.llps but not with his heart. He would like to
Jepent but cannot He would give everything he
■was to get it, but the more he tries, the more

: ------------------------------------------------------
Naturally, being undefeated, or
nearly so, naval authorities argue
that Japan, whose ships would reach
it long before American man-of-war
could do so, would seise Guam Im-
mediately. To recover it would be
an undertaking of tremendous dif-
ficulty.
Fighting for the Philippines from
Hawaii, then, would be at a range

definitely. '
” Failure of the United States to
maintain her navy at the “5-5-3"
basis—5 for Great Britain, I for the
United States and I far Japan—is
not laid at the Washington agree-
ment’s door. In a sense navy men
do blame the Washington govern-
ment for it, but they say, chari-
tably. that it is what generally hap-
pens after a war—a perlor of relax-
ation following an extraordinary
effort. They add, however, that it
hasn’t happened in Japan’s case.
Nevertheless, In navel eyes, It
adds to the dangers of the situation.
Instead of a *5-5-3" basis, accord-
ing to the navy estimate the actu-
ally existing basis is "5-3A-3"—-5
for Great Britain, 36 for the United
States and X for Japan.

The school exhibits at the Texas-

clusive, will be one of the big fea-
tures of the exposition, according to
Burl Bryant, director of tie educa-
tional department.
The exhibits from the schools of
northwest Texas and southern Ok-

in the southwest:
Outside of those engaged in
school work, but few people realize
’ the magnitude and importance of
the school system of the country. It
represents an Investment of many
millions of dollars: nearly one-halt
of all the taxes are absorbed by It
each year: more than 1,500 instruc-
tors are dedicating their lives to it
in the Wichita Falls trade territory,
and thousands of children are being
benefitted by the schools annually.
Schools are credited with being
the keystone of our civilisation, and
consequently with them playing
such an important part in the his-
lory of our nation, the school ex-
hibit at the fair should be one of
interest to every man, woman and
child who attends. In fact every
visitor at the exposition should
make it a point not to miss the
educational department. They will
not only be amazed, hat will also be
immensely benefitted by the time
spent there.

Only one American family in sv-
ery four has an income of $1,000 or
more a year- If you believe the na-
tional income tax figures.
—The latest of these statistics that
are completely compiled cover 1922
and show that 6,385,405 admitted In-
comes of $1,000 or more during the
year. It’s estimated the average
family has four and a half mem-
bers—that is, nine members to ev-
ery two families.

And do you also believe that only
one family in. every 14 has an la-

If so, you believe that ths nstlonal
income tax total for 10. tells the
true story. How much is hidden—
by small incomes’ as well as the big
ones?
— 3 ESCAPED
Fewer than seven million Ameri-
cans pay national income tax. With
their families, they total lees than
n - million is of the population.
So about 80 million Americans are
in families, none of whose members
pay an income tax at all to Uncle
Sam. How powerful will tax reduc-
tion or promisee of it be to these 80
millions in the presidential cam-
paigns?

need to admonish her regarding

Care-ChamberSleep, son of the sable Night,
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born.
Relieve my languish, and restore the light:____.
With dark forgetting of my care return. \
And let the day be tune enough to mourn
The shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth: t
Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn,
Without the torment of the night’s uptruth. !
Cease, dreams, the images of day-desires, i
“To model forth the passions of the morrow; /
Never yet rising sun approve you liars s X
To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow:
Still let me sleep, embracing clouds in vain.
And never wake to feel the day's disdain. *

Speedometers. "Heretofore." states w
Mr. Randle, “It has been necessary "
to send speedometers to Dallas and
other, points for servicing, necessi-
tating a delay and inconvenience to
motor ear owners. W lip-
ment added to our shops and large
stock of ports we are now able to
give prompt service and have the
speedometer re-installed on the car
without loss of any considerable
mileage.
—"We are handling the A. C.
speedometer for Ford cars, one of
the simplest and most efficient in
operation to be found on the mat:
het. Being without reducers and
other complicated parts to get out
of order, the A. C. performs over a
long period of time and with few
parts for replacement. Ford owners,
Chevrolet, Star, Overland, Oakland,
Oldsmobile, Chrysler. Buick and
other makes of cars will find us
completely equipped to ‘serve
them with our new A. C. service." •.
