Austin .Texas, April 19.—Three
of the state's five living former gov-
ernors arc giving their time to busi-
ness and farming, while the other
two have ceased activities and havo
retired into what one of them calls
an optimistic old age.
The dean of the five is Joseph B.
Sayers of Austin. Governor Sayers
will be eighty-three years old next
September. The next in point of
age is Charles A. Culberson, who is
making his home in Washington,
having retired from active practice
of the law. Governor Culberson
preceded Governor Sayers in the
office, having served from 1895 to
1899; Mr. Sayers was chief exe-
cutive from 1899 to 1903.
The aetive former governors are
O. B. Colquitt, Dallas, oil business;
•lames Ferguson, Temple, farming
and allied interests; William I’.
Hobby, Beaurfnint. newspaper and
insurance.
From a mellow and optimistic old
age. Governor Sayers, the oldest of
the former governors, looks out on
the world as it passes before bis
matured gaze. Things are getting
better, he believes. Removed from
the conflicts of life, in a sense, he
now looks upon the world from a
judicial standpoint, he says, and
this judicial mindedness discards
prejudice.
‘‘It all will work out in time,”
said Governor Sayers. "1 mean the
problems that now confront the
world. We in the United States
are 100 per cent, hotter than at
the close of the late World war and
are growing better.
“An old man. removed from the
personal contact in the battle of
life, loses his prejudices. He looks
upon things from the judicial stand-
point, and he can see farther and
clearer than when his view is ob-
scured by personal considerations.
“My one great recreation is read-
ing. I get much satisfaction out
of my library, which has grown to
quite large proportions. I read
from ten to twelve every night, and
in these quiet hours life, as it comes
to me from the pages of books, seems
quite a wonderful thing. I am in-
;erested in world affairs, read the
better magazines and hooks, and
find plenty to think about.”
Not only does the dean of gover-
nors peruse with diligence the state
papers, but he goes as far away as
England to get his news first hand.
He is a regular subscriber to the
Manchester, England, Guardian,
through which he says he keeps
ubreast of European events.
The first great change that Gov-
ernor Sayers notices that has devel-
o|>ed since he was governor twenty-
five years ago. is the vast growth
of government appropriations. In
his term appropriations totaling $3,-
000,000 were considered large. The
appropriations of the most recent
legislature ran well over $40,000,-
000.
The great development of the
schools and the judicial branch of
the government also are a marvel to
him. When he became governor,
he recalls, there was only one nor-
mal school. He inspired the build-
ing of two more in his term. Ther^
are now nine nAhfrals in the state.
Governor Sayers lived for fifty-
two years at Bastrop before he came
to the governor’s mansion here.
Prior to his election as governor he
was in eongrcsN for fourteen years.
He is now a resident of Austin.
Occasionally he takes an active
part in a law case. He attended all
the hearings of the International
Great Northern Gulf Coast Lines
merger case, which occupied many
days before the Texas Railroad com-
mission, representing certain patties
interested in the proceedings

"It has been apparent for a long
time that there are too many bitu-
minous mines,” the articles contin-
ues. “There is a normal demand
for approximately 500,000,000 tons
of bituminous coal annually, while
the mines now in operation or in
existence and ready for operation,
could easily produce nearly 1,000,-
000,000 tons of coal each year.
Thus, there is a capacity to produce
twice as much coal as the market
eould absorb. This means, also,
that there are more people engaged
in mining than are required to pro-
I (luce a sufficient quantity of coal to
meet the demand.”
There is a demand ifor labor in
other industries and men who are
unable to retain permanent em-
ployment in the mines can secure
work in other line-. The Journal
adds that Secretary of Labor Davis
has informed the entire resources
of that department will help place
he men. Secretary Davis said the
director of the Federal Employment
Bureau of the Department of Labor
Inis arranged to receive applica-
tions for employment and to assist
applicants throughout the country.
OVERPRODUCTION
OF COAL WILL
- CLOSE MANY MINES
Indianapolis, April 19.—Numerous
coal mines will be closed permanently
and many miners will resort to
other work during the next three
years, in the opinion of The United
Mine Workers Journal, official pub-
lication of the United Mine Work-
ers of America.
These two actions will have a
stabilizing effect on the coal busi-
ness, for it will relieve the exist-
ing condition of too many miners
and toil many mines, according to
the Journal. With the wage ques-
tion settled for three years, each
coal company knows just what ita
labor cost will be. Those which can
operate and make money will con-
tinue in business, while the others

port of Nikolaievsk at the mouth
of the Amur when Russian partisan
bands claiming alliance with the
Moscow Soviet descended upon the
town and massacred all who oppos-
ed them.    ,
The Nikolaievsk monument will
cost approximately $25,000. It*
principal feature will be a bronze
statute thirteen feet high of a god-
dess of peace, at whose feet** wilK
kneel figures of a man and woman,
weeping. Much interest has attach-
ed to the selection of a model for
the goddess. One typifying the per-
fect Japanese woman has been
sought. The choice has fallen on
Madam Takeko Kujo, accounted one
of Japan's most beautiful women.
The model o>f the statute has been
completed by Kozo Takeishi, a fa-
mous Japanese sculptor.
