him off. If we have free speech a
good deal of latitude is necessary-
just about anything up to an insur-
rection.
It is too bad that Wendell Willkie’s
message to the German people could
reach only a few of them, since they
are not permitted to listen to broad-
casts originating outside their own
country. The Record feels *ure that
many of the German soldiers feel to-
ward the situation about as Mr. Will-
kie does but that Hitler holds them
so tightly in his grasp that they have
no choice in the matter. The manner
in which Germany has overrun small
inoffensive nations proves the ag
gressiou charge and the power that
prohibits German people from hear-
ing both sides of anything that might
enlighten them and perhaps ultimate-
ly free them proves the lust for pow-
er charge.

Wendell L. Willkie, who began his
homeward trip from Europe, where
he spent eighteen days investigating
conditions, left the following mes-
sage, which was broadcast shortly
after Mr. Willkie’s return trip to
America was begun:
"I am of purely German descent,
his message began. “My family name
is not Willkie, but Willicke. My
grandparents left Germany 90 years
ago because they were protestants
against autocracy and demanded the
right to live as free men. I too, claim
that right.
“I am proud of my German blood
But I hate aggression and tyranny.
“Tell the German people that my
convictions are shared to the full by
the overwhelming majority of my fel-
low countrymen of German descent.
They, too, believe in freedom and in
human rights.
“Tell the German people that we
German-Americans reject and hate
the aggression and lust for power

Again dogs at large are getting to
be somewhat of a nuisance on the
streets of Ceiina. Such occasions are
usually marked by some one or more
citizens lamenting the loss of a fine
pedigreed dog. When a dog, pedi
greed or not, becomes a tramp or a
gadabout such canine is a nuisance,
at least in the eyes of the law.

NO NEW TAXES WANTED.
(Mission Times)
Quite a number of influential State
organizations, including the three re
gional chambers rtf commerce, arc-
impressing upon the Texas Legisla
ture as it begins its new term that
no new taxes should be levied. ,
Composed of capable business leadr
ers, these organizations point to Tex
as’ stake in the national defense pro
gram. During the next, fiscal year
Texas’ part in financing the rearm-
ament of this country will be approx
imately $(155,000,000. . . .
During this time of national emer-
gency. when our national existence
depends on our being prepared in a
military way, . . . every political sub-
division from the school district on
up to the State government shou.d
employ every method of economy and
efficiency in the administration of
their affairs.

(Whitewright Sun.)
The Sun receives each week “fea
ture news stories" from our state
capitol and they are interesting read-
ing, when one knows from what
source they come and who is paying
the “feature writer” to send them
out. The first paragraph is devoted
to what the legislature is doing and
then gently works in the name of
some member of the legislature, who
is paying for the “feature story " and
if you don’t watch out you will be led
to believe that some member of the
legislature is the only one that
amounts to a hill of beans in tha.
great body. Many of the articles are
printed, because sometimes they
make good news stories, but most of
them are misleading. It seems to
grow more popular every day to have
publicity agents. The movie stars
have them, the politicians have them
men of wealth have them and it has
gotten so almost every department ol
our state and federal governments
has them. Every newspaper offiz-i
fills waste basket after waste basket
with propaganda it receives through
the mails. The Sun receive# each
week from this source enough “copy
to fill a newspaper two or three
times larger than The Sun, but about
98 per cent of it finds a resting place
in our waste basket.

Following is an editorial from the
Dallas Morning News about the ban-
ning of the prison bat, which has
caused much discussion in Texas first
and last:
Taking time by the forelMc, the
State Prison Board Tuesday beat the
Texas legislature to the wire by abol-
ishing the corporal punishment ot
whipping as a penal disciplinary
measure, substituting a number of
other punitive measures. Unswerving
foes of the bat will naturally wisn
the legislature to complete the job
with statutory ban. The house has a!
ready approved a bill of Representa-
tive Sam Hanna of Dallas to this ef-
fect. But caution suggests that the
move made by the prison board be
given a trial first.
This because, as has often been
noted here, discipline must be effec-
tive in the prison system. If the sub
stitute penalties do not accomplish
this end, the bat might have to be
used. Warden Lewis Lawes of Sing
Sing is authority for the efficiency
of less brutal measures than whip-
ping. Certainly, flogging is both bru
tal and brutalizing and should be dis-
pensed with if possible.
The punitive measures endorsed Ly
the board may be effective. But it is
clear that this will not be the case
unless discipline is administered with
rigid fairness. It will be especially
necessary in regard to loss ot over-
time earning in hours and of eligibil-
ity for clemency to see that every in-
mate understands that there wUl be
no favoritism. This calls for co-oper-
ation from the chief executive and
the board of pardons and paroles on
down to the farm managers.
It is gratifying in any event that
trial is to be made of getting along
without the brutality of the bat. Most
prison inmates will co-operate be_
cause but a limited percentage of
their number raise disciplinary prob
lems. It remains to be seen what will
tie the outcome with the case-hard-
ened bad boys who remain perennially
penology’s number one problems.
