\ SENSITIVE MEXICANS
It Is characteristic of all Latin races
to be emotional and sensitive.
A Latin will take offense at re
marks and proposals the Anglo-Amer-
ican will regard as a straightforward
• business proposition and Latin races
Will get all excited over Incidents
which would only disgust or amuse
another race. As an instance of this,
we have only to recall the D'Annuniio
affair at Fiume, which kept Italy In
turmoil for a year or more while the
rest of the world looked on, sometimes
with sympathy, sometimes with Impa-
tience and disgust.
We have to regard in this light
President Obregon's emphatic decla-
ration that a treaty with tile United
States to guarantee American rights
Is "neither possible, convenient nor
necessary." This is true, asserts the
Mexican president," because the Mexi-
can republic Is going to protect those
rights any way and there Is no use
signing a contract to do so.
Considering the sensitive character-
istics of the Mexican people, it Is easy
to understand why they applaud such
a declaration. But Is the United
States' demand unreasonable? Is
there really much difference, from •
purely business standpoint, between
proposing such a commercial guaranty
treaty and asking a man to sign a note
at the bank when he borrows a sum
of money? The borrower may Intend
to pay the money any way, but the
bank would be regarded as a loosely
working financial Institution If It did
not demand and secure a note, duly
Signed and secured, before it advaneed
the money.
The proposed agreement with Mexi-
co is not an insult to Mexican pride,
but it is unfortunate that the emo-
tional and sensitive Mexicans cannot
«ee it that way.
iL . ViT»V« _ tlAflAlAHvtv I
planned' the event amid shot and
ihell, but the men who have bsen
under fire—the fellows who know
something about what war really
place an entirely different Interpreta-
tion upon the Winnipeg gathering. It
brings out in part of Its shining glory
the comradeship in arms, and stresses
again the fact that friendships made
on battlefields will never die. As the
years roll on these ties will grow
stronger, and veterans here afid there
will be more and more punctual In at-
tending reunions and keeping every
engagement where they are likely to
see the men with whom they faced
death.
We will have In Temple this month
a demonstration of the undying
friendship of comrades in arms. Con-
federate veterans from all sections of
the state will gather here in reunion
—^ray-haired men who will go to con-
siderable risk and sacrifice to come
here to see the comrades with whom
they marched a full generation ago.
They are faithful musketeers, and
the love and friendship they manifest
for one another is Just as beautiful as
the loyalty among comrades in arms
recently illustrated in the reunion at
Winnipeg. Temple, of course, will do
her best to make them comfortable
and thoroughly happy while they are
here.

A GOOD MAN DECLINES A BIG
JOB
Ellhu Root, international lawyer of
international repute and former secre-
tary of state, has declined the nomi-
nation as a member of the interna-
tional court of Justice set up by the
league of Nations.
There Is no question but that Mr.
could get the Judgeship if he
Wanted It, and there is no question
but that he could til! the high officj
Just as efficiently as any other man in
America-
He Is not hostile to the international
court On the other hand, he Is on?
of its original proponents. He aided
In setting it up. But he declines the
honor because of his advanced age
and while the country would like to
see him seated on the international
bench, it win accept his excuse gra-
ciously.
Being a member of the interna-
tional court carrlea something more
than distinction and high honors. It
also carries a big Job.
EDITORIAL OP THE DAY
Tli© Sparking Driver Nuisance.
The Hon. Felix 1). Robertson, Judge
of Dallas corporation court, docs not
believe in foolishness. He is deter-
mined to bring about observance Of
the traffic laws, and while he is about
it he ia fattening the municipal treaa-
ury. In a single morning session he
yanked $499 out of the pockets of
fourteen auto and motorcycle drivers
who "didn't know that they were do-
ing it." Of the motorcycle riders, who
had been using the pop-pops against
the peace of the eommunity and the
dignity of the state, he said:
The boys seem to like these noises,
and they shouldn't mind paying for
the music.
Which is a new rendition of "He
who dances must pay the fiddler."
To a young man who couldn't see a
traffic policeman nor the semaphore
when riding with a young lady, Judge
Robertson said:
"You were paying too much atten-
tion to that girl and not ^nough to
traffic. Pay the city »19."
That's fair enough. In fact, "all's
fair in love and war." And, ma^be,
the young man thought that his de-
votion was cheap enough at the piles.
However, Judge Robertson may get
riled and slap on his progressive fines
in respect to sparking, as well as to
open mufflers.
Really and seriously, the sparking
driver Ib about the worst nuisance en-
countered on the streets. He doesn't
belong. The only parking that ought
to be tolerated in an automobile is
that which takes plice in the com-
bustion chamber.
Sparking drivers not only fail to ob-
serve the officers and the semaphores,
but also they have no regard for oth-
er vehicles, their drivers and opera-
tors.
They are not, going anywhere; they
are not out for a ride; they are out
solely for a lark and a spark, "the
world forgetting," but not "by the
world forgot."
They drive at a snail's pace, delay-
ing the streams of traffic, ambling
from side to side, they prevent other
drivers from passing, often causing
other drivers to exceed the speed limit
in an effort to get by.
The Journal entertains the hope
that Judge Robertson may have op-
portunities to tell more of these p"sts
to pay more attention to the traffic,
and with an emphasis expressed by
$10 up.—-The Dallas Journal.

ANDREW AND IMOGENE
(Br Roe rulkerson)
Andrew had laid down the wrong
way of the divan, putting his feet up
in the air at the head and folded his
newspaper into reading shape. Imo-
gene pushed a tabofette containing
an ash tray near enough for him to
knoek his cigarette ashea in and op-
ened the evening conversation Just
as he opened his paper.
"Andrew," she Bald, "I want you to
go to Moses with me In the morning
and help me pick out a rug for the
dining room."
"Sorry, pet," he said out of the
corner of his mouth where the cigar-
ette was not. "I can't go. I'm sum-
moned to serve on a jury for a mur-
der trial. You remember that man
Gadaby, who killed his wife with a
poker last summer r Well, at last
the legal mill has ground him to the
surface and they are making up a
Jury, and I am •summoned."
"Well, I hope they won't keep you
there for weeks and weeks like they
do sometimes." There was a note of
anxiety in her voice.
"Not a chance, honey, not a chance,"
laughed Andrew. "I read the newa-
papem."

stitutions. But la the operation of

man will answer in the affirmative.
Many of our law* are not
justics to all alike.
Tho object of this article to t^4eal
with a narrow restricted fieUbof op-
eration wherein* the lav Itself to
wrong, per se, and also does sot op-
erate with all alike. We refer here
to the teacher's certifloata tow Of
Texas.
In this article, one phase only of
the certificate law will ha sotlced,
that dealing with a teacher's second
grade certiifcate.
There are only two ways ln which
a person may obtain a certificate of
any kind, let that be a seoond grade
certificate, first grade, or permanent
certificate; and one of these ways to
to go to the public schools, study,
learn the lessons of the primary. Is-
termedlate and grammar schools, pass
into the high school, which in the
best high schools consists of a period
of four years. If the high school be
affiliated with the state university,
the pupil who has thus passed the
prescribed course in the high school
is.admitted to the fieshman class in
the state normal colleges or univer-
sity, without question or further ex-
amination, where if he or she oom-
pletes the prescribed course of study
for the freshman year the l*w
they shall be granted a certificate of
the second grade for a period of six
years.
Is this right? Snre It is right It
IS all in exact accordance wtlh the
divine plan of the development of the
human mind.

all alike? An inquiry should be
made into this.

presents her recommendation of good

subjects that John had completed in

kindly Informs Mary that It cannot be

more, that In order to obtain a six-
year second grade certificate she must
make a general average grade of not
less than 85 per cent, nor less than
50 per cent on any one subject; and
also, if she made an average of 8S
per cent on all the subjects except
