FERGUSON LEADERS
ARE OPPOSED TO
* INVESTIGATION
Austin, Sept. 14.—Supporters of
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson in
the House of the Thirty-ninth Leg-
islature, mooting here in call ses-
sion, are irrevocably opposed to an
investigation of State departments
by a committee that will report to,
the Fortieth Legislature, Representa-
tive Reuben Lofton of Henrietta, different sort of thing.
Ferguson floor leader, Tuesday told
the Associated Press.
He declared the investigation
should bo started immediately and
completed by the Thirty-sixth Legis-
lature, “as the Fergtlsons and their
friend* are entitled to an investiga-
tion while Governor Ferguson is in
office.? k L.
Signed by Forty-eight.
Representative Lofton’s pro-
nouncement placed the Ferguson
forces in direct opposition to the
resolution, asking appointment of a
committee of nine House members
to conduct an investigation of the
Highway Commission, Textbook Com-
mission and Pardon Board, and re-
port to the Fortieth Legislature.
This resolution, signed by 48 mem-
bers, most of them strong support-
ers of Attorney Geqfral Dan Moody,
Democratic gubernatorial nominee,
was referred to the committee on
state affairs.
The House adopted a resolution
petitioning the Governor to submit
the question of raising the per cap-
ita apportionment from $11.60 to
$15 by appropriations from the gen-
eral revenue fund.
Adjournment was taken until 2
o’clock Wednesday to give the Ju-
diciary Committee opportunity To
consider 182 district road bond vali-
dating bills, and the Committee on
State Affairs the resolution asking
investigation of state departments.
Lofton was undecided whether
Ferguson forces would carry the
fight to amend the resolution before
the Committee on State Affairs.
Most of the members of this com-
mittee are said to be Moody sup-
porter*.
“I prefer to do“ my fighting on
the floor of the House,” he said.
Legally Qaestiewed.
Serious doubts exist in his mind
and in the minds of many other
members of the House as to
whether a committee of the Thirty-
ninth Legislature legally could re-
port to the Fortieth, Lofton said.
“We could have the anomaly of
the committee functioning at the
same time as members of the Thirty-
ninth and Fortieth Legislatures,
though their tenure as members of
the Thirty-ninth had ended."
There has been some talk of Fer-
guson supporters attempting to
amend the resolution by delegating
the authority to appoint the com-
mittee to the House, instead of the
Speaker, but Representative Lofton
said Speaker* Lp« Sstterwhite was
entirely satisfactory to him.
“He is the fairest presiding offi-
cer I ever saw fn the House," he
ssid. "Throughout the bitter amnes-
ty bill fight of the regular session
he was the personification of fair-
ness. I am glad to say this of him,
though we often differ in politics
and policies.”
LOVE IS TIE
THAT BINDS IN
Whoever put the words, "Till
death do us part,” into the marriage
ceremony understood lif*.
Whoever it was understood th*
difference between love snd passion.
Passion may be for a day, and us-
ually is, and ts often succeeded by
indifference or contempt. Love is a
CHARGE MURDER
FOR 0L0 DEATH
AT SHERMAN
Love Is based upon other things
than mere physical attraction. It
is something composed of esteem,
regard, and many other things that
depend upon something else than
proximity alone.
Human nature is so constituted
that a man who swears to love a
woman till death do them part' is
reasonably sure that if he behaves
himself and controls himself lav*
will be co-termlnoas with his lif*.
It is upon this law that the prom-
ise rests.
When passion has disappeared aft-
er a few weeks or months love re-
mains. It is more the 7 resld-
ium of paseion. It la something built
upon character, and with reasonabla
culture it can ba depended upon to
endure.
In fact lova is on# of the most
enduring things in th* world. It out-
lires hate, It is tough, and the more
storms that blow upon it the strong-
er it grows.
This is noticeable in mother-love
which can endure and outlive the
greatest disappointment*. Long aft-
er a child has proved himself un-
worthy, mother-love will continue
unabated.
Love does not depend altogether
upon the actions of the other party,
but it ia inherent in the character
of the person himself. Many a wife
or husband keeps on loving In spite
"of all that Is done to destroy that
love.
If love were what many, people
understood it to be, a mere gust of
passion or a wayward sentiment,
there would he no sense in promis-
ing to cherish one another forever.
Most of the objections to marriage
are based upon the wrong concep-
tion of what makes marriage beau-
tiful. It i* not paasion, it ia love.
Love often endures long after the
fires of passion have expired.
Those who think that love ia mere-
ly infatuation are apt to flit from
flower to flower, while those who
conceive of love as a child jtf loy-
alty will be stable and,d<

months after the death of Mra.
Crenshaw, Sherman church woman.
Fields, 80, escaped convict from the

dent An infant grandchild, knock-
ed from Mrs. Crenshaw’s arms in

MRS. HENSLEY, Slcy.
Houston, Texas, Sept 15-—Out of
more than a million and a quarter es-
timated users of narcotics In the
United States, Texas has 2,$71, says
s Treasury Department bulletin re
ceived.from Washington by the food
and drug inspection service here.
By far the greater number of Tex-
as addicts are usots of an opium de-
rivative, morphine, the bulletin in
dicates. A drug manufactured from
the leave* of a South American
shrub, cocaine, takes second place in
estimated consumption, while heroin,
a narcotic distilled from Indian hemp,
is ranked a poor third.
Contrary to what ia said to he a
widely held belief, native born Amer
lean addicts are much more numer-
ous than those of foreign birth, the
bulletin acts forth. A qualification,
however, ie appended when applying
Far Eastern race immigrants to
the United States, where the use of
drug* is more or less s national
trait.
Occupation does not or Itself,
have any connection with the use
of narcotics, the bulletin declares,
but it is noted that the poorer paid
workers furnish much the larger list,
launderesaes, waiters, and wait-
eresae*. cooks, mechanics, laborer*
et cetera being prepondent. Printers
and writers show the smaller* per-
centage of addicts.
An emphatic “warning is given
that any person taking a narcotic
drug over a period of 30 days-is in
grave danger of becoming an addict.
Once established, it is impoaaible for
the user to discontinue the practice
without outside assistance, it saya.

RICKARD PROMOTES
7TH TITLE BOND
Philadelphia, Sept. 15.—Th#
Dempsey-Tunney heavyweight bat-
tle for the championship in the grsat
Sssqui-Csntennlal Stadium here on
September 23 will be the seventh
snd probably the biggest title spec-
tacle Tex Rickard hae staged.
The New York promoter reached
the high mark for boxing when he
staged the Dempeey-Cerpentier
"Battle of the Century” in the big
wooden saucer at Buyle’s Thirty
Acres, Jersey City, five years ago
That spectacle drew a crowd of 90,-
000 that paid more than $1,600,000
to see the champion'* four-ronnd
knockout of the colorful Frenchman
but Rickard expects the forthcoming
struggle to eclipse these figures.
Tweaty Years Promoter.
The promoter's expectation* are
that a crowd of more than 130,000
will part with approximately $2,-
000,000 for the evening's entertain-
ment, which would lift the event to
an unprecedented level for any
sports event.
It has been almost twenty yeats
to th* day that Rickard made his
first plunge in pugilistic promotbn,
his initial venture being the famous
Gsns-Nelson lightweight champion-
ship event at Goldfield, Nev., on
September 3, 1906. Since that day
Tex has mounted to a position as
the foremost promotor of profes-
sional sports in th* world, th# head
of a big corporation whose business
in New York annually runs well into
th* millions.
Rickard’s first heavyweight fight
was the Jeffries-Johnson bout in
1910 at Reno, where it was shifted
after being barred from San Frar
cisco. That fight drew a record
“gate” at the time, $270,000, the
top price being $60. Th# only fight*
for which ticket* have been priced
a* high since then were th# Demp-
sey-Willard and Dempssy-Carpen-
tier bout*.
Hu** Gate Receipt*.
In six previous heavyweight title
battles Rickard has promoted th*
gate receipts have aggregated doe*
to $4,000,000, of Which $2,800,000
clicked through the turnstiles for th*
lost two apeetaelea the promoter has
staged.
