ABOUT THE only county that
doesn't claim the death spot of
de LaSalle is Leon county. It has
been definitely proved by E. W.
C^le that M. de LaSalle passed
over Leon county soil, but I've
never heard anyone say that the
great Frenchman stopped long
enough in that black-eyed
pea settlement to be ambushed,
shot, killed, and left to be eaten
by the buzzards.
A crafty one by the name of
Fox writes an editorial in his
Centerville newspaper, the Leon
County News, in which he denies
that LaSalle died on his soil. Mr.
Fox says:
"Fifty years from now, the Tex-
as Centennial may be remember-
ed as the year when the stgte
went tombstone conscious and
markers for everything that hap-
pened close to a highway were
erected. Leon county alone got
three full-sized markers and a
few small ones scarcly worth
mentioning even in the Oakwood
Oracle.
"Right now, historians are wor-
rying over the hot issue of where-
abouts in Texas the noted LaSalle
met with foul play.
"Up until recently, Navasota
thought it had the issue settled
and without waiting for the Cen-
tennial erected a marker at the
tomb of LaSalle in that city. Now
| however, Navasota is hedging on
the matter and if the worse comes

its monument is just a monument
to the courage of the French ex-
plorer, and any town could put
up that sort of outfit.
"Over in Cherokee county a
farmer is claiming he has proof
LaSalle was shot around there.
Down in Victoria Sunday thirty
Frenchman ate barbecue in mem-
ory of the.explorer down there.
Half a dozen other counties are
eyeing the matter ready to spring
their claims.
''LaSalle even came through
Leon county one time, people say,
and The News has its own theory
about his death. The Leon Coun-
ty News' theory, unique for its.
unchallengeability, is that LaSalle
did not die here. Leon County
Is the County In Which LaSalle
Did Not Die. We might go so far
as to say it is one of the few coun-
ties he didn't die in.
"LaSalle may have been trailed
in Leon county, he may have been
ambushed in Leon county, he may
have been shot in Leon county,
but he had respect for good land
and would have forged on into j
Anderson county to die."
* * *
YET THEY say ..that politics j
have never entered the great
and divine Supreme court of these
United States!
* * *
New Deal claims a sweep-
ing vistory, according to the
press of the day, in the Wag-
ner act ruling of 5-4 handed
down Monday by that august
body. Another story might
be written into the pages of i
history right there, but it is
doubtful if it will be.
♦ * *
The Supreme court members j
are fighting hard to kill the;
Roosevelt court proposal, which;
they call "packing the court".;
History has only repeated itself,
however, when one goes back and
finds that other presidents had
the same trouble. Most of them I
coped with the situation by get-
ting more justices on the bench.
As the Supreme court fights to
protect themselves, they play pol-
itics harder than a campaigner
does in mid-July. They contra-
dict themselves in order to "lib-
eralize" enough to keep the people
from stacking more hired hands,
around that table.
* * <t
It may mean that Mr.
Roosevelt's plan will not go
through.' Their liberalization
acts may cause the present
sentiment in favor of the
President to subside. Wheth-
er or not their actions will
justify their means, it may
he difinitely and finally said
that even the Supreme court
plays politics.

At a meeting of the city coun- i
cil Thursday night, the re-elected
alderman, mayor, city marshal,
and city recorder will be sworn
into the offices they will fill dur- j
ing the next two years.
* ft
The council here will be
| called upon to solve momen-
! teaus questions during the
next two-year period. Chief
of these, of course, will be
the calling of a bond election
for a municipally-owned elec-
tric plant.
* * *
Some question has been placed
before us concerning this plant,
and this question is pivoted
around whether or not a bond
issue would mean further taxation
or raising the valuation in the
city. Definitely—regardless of
what THEY might tell you—the
property of this city, with the
exception of the city lighting
plant alone, will not have to bear
the burden of the bonds. Rev-
enue-bearing bonds, issued on the
receipts of the lighting and oower
plant alor.e, can be issued and
they will be bought in a minute.
I know a company that is eager
to buy such bonds. A high court
decision not long ago upheld the
city of Seymour, Baylor county,
when a company tried to obtain
money from the city when their
electric system was not paying
off. The decision held that if
the municipal plant of Seymour
was not making the money, the
company that sold the equipment
received nothing.
The Seymour plant is pay-
ing off now, however, as are
practically all of the city
electric plants of this day.

The new utility regulation bill
has been signed by the governor.
It allows the utility companies
to make not MORE THAN 8 per
cent on their investment and it
allows towns under 2,000 popu-
lation to regulate the boys. Here-
tofore, the companies could make
10 per cent and the city /'council
couldn't pull them under that
even if they tried. Towns the
size of Alto could previously do
nothing about their rates. Tele-
phone and gas companies can be
regulated by the new bill, too.
WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
When two women were litigat-
ing before King Solomon a matter
involving the maternal parentage
of an infant, that wise judge pro-
posed to settle the controversy
by cutting the child apart and giv-
ing half to each of the persons
claiming it as a whole. Congress
ordinarily cannot dispose of its
business in so simple and direct a
fashion. It must search out,
weigh and consider all the intri-
cate rules that govern law mak-
ing. Now and then, however, it
falls back on simple maxims that
remind one of a Solomonic judg-
ment, an example of which is:
"Enough is enough." The Senate
Judiciary Committee is approach-
ing the conclusion that it has in
hand all the testimony that it
needs respecting the court change,
and that hearings should cease.
With the public out of the en-
counter, the battle will settle
down to a hand to hand conflict
on the floor. Even though the
numbers engaged v. ill be reduccd
there will be no lack of sport for
those who like to see a good fight,
and the indications are that the
fight will be sharp and long.
* *
In Cleveland, supporters of
the Committee for Industrial
Organization, familiarly
known as the C. I. O., and
members of the American
Federation of Labor, come
into open physical clash. In
the old days of volunteer fire
companies, the partisans of
rival organizations often ex-
pended mere time and effort
in keeping each other in the
background than they devot-
ed to the conflagration. The
internal strife in the Republi-
can party during the presi-
dential campaign of 1884 gave
rise to a cartoon based on tho
j contending fire company idea.
Mr. Blaine was defeated as a
result of division in the ranks
of those who might have been
expected to form a united
group behind him. The Dem-
ocrats received similar in-
struction in the bitter school
of experience when they split
on the free silver issue. The
I title of the cartoon was:
"Fighting While the Fire
Burns." The phrase carries
j a timely warning to labor.

gium are said to be working upon
a plan having indefinite bound-
aries but intended to insure the
aid of the United States to combat
what Washington Post call:-: the
universal heritage of disorder.
Those are well sounding words.
Getting a little closer to facts, an
economic conference is proposed.
It is suggested that some system 1
may be worked out whereby last-
ing peace in Europe can be at- j
tained. On the surface of things, |
the scheme has a benign aspect, |
but brooks run on to rivers and j
rivers flow to the sea. There is j
talk about "a relaxation of the
firm American policy of isola-
tion." The word "isolation" car-
ries with It an imputation calcu-
lated to shame the United States
into putting its finger within a
very hot pie not of American bak-
ing. Relaxation is a good v/ord
also, but before giving it too much
currency, one should do a little
independent investigating and get
some first hand information. That
can be done by interviewing a
dozen or so of the men who were
"over there" two decades ago, and
finding out how many crave a
second opportunity to relax.
• * *
In many quarters, rich men,
viewed in the most favorable
light, are regarded as a nuis-
ance. It is common to go j
further and state that they j
are definitely undesirable cit-
izens and a menace to sound
government. Cyrus H. Mc-
Cormick of Chicago left an
estate of twenty-two million
dollars. According to current
newspaper print fifty-two
per cent of what he accumu-
lated went for state and fed-
eral taxes. Assuming that his
active life covered the span
of fifty years, he worked
twenty-six of them to accum-
ulate about eleven million
dollars for the public treas-
ury. That is not a bad a rec-
ord after all. Probably Mr.
McCormick would have reg-
istered an emphatic "No" had
he been asked to make a free
will gift of more than half his
goods to the common purse,
but that does not enter into
the argument. The fact re-
mains that the world found
that it could use him, even
though he happened to be a
millionaire.
