The governor of Alabama went

hangs a tale. He was accompanied
by eight friends. Knowing some-

party carried along thirteen bottles
of whiskey, and one day before the
snakes had gotten in their work pro-
hibition officers swooped down on
the camp and arrested the governor
and his friends for violating the pro-
hibition law. Of course, if a convic-
tion follows it may be up to the gov-
ernor to pardon himself as well a*
his fishermen friends.—Pittsburg

»T IS TO LAUGH
^rihall News: In New York the
other day a man was tried for two
effetiifcs. He was charged with rob-
bing a soda water joint and for kill-
ing the proprietor who refused to
be peacefully robbed, lie was giveit
five years for the killing and fifty
years for the robbery. The report of
the trials in a New York paper says
the prisoner laughed jn the face of
the jurors. We are inclined to think
his laugh was justified.
Life is about the cheapest thing
possible in our courts. Judging by
the penalties inflicted a raxor-back
hog is of infinite more worth than
the average life and the crime of
shooting craps or selling a bottle of
bootleg is more certain to bring
punishment than the taking of
life. But the tender-hearted jurors,
the sob sisters and the mushy par
doning powers have cheapened
crime, especially the crime of rtiur-
der, until we have become the most
lawless nation—so far as minrder if
concerned—in all the world, civilis-
ed or uncivilised. '
No wonder the New York murder
ous hi-jacker laughed in the jurors’
faces.

December is here and we call you
all to the admission that we haven't
urged you to do your “Christmas
shopping early" yet. Just as sure as
Ma has pardoned more criminals than
any other Governor we are not go-

heck when you do your Christmas
shopping, so our socks reach us by
10 o’clock Christmas morning. But
remember, we have a tie. Keep

Texas has formed such a habit of
leading that she leads in all things,
good or bad. The Department of
Commerce has just Issuei a report
showing that Texas led alrkates last
year in the matter of divorces grant-
ed. In this grand old common-
wealth 15,120 dikoffes were granted
in the year 1925. Not only did Tex-
as lead the states in divorces, but
she had a big lead, a lead of 1298
over her nearest competitor. People
no doubt wonder why the Texas di-
vorce mill does such a heavy busi-
nes, but the answer is easy. Many
Texans go to Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and other states for their
wives, and mahy come from other
states, msrry our girls, and locate
here. Men from other states do not
nlake as goods husband* as Texans,
and women from ojher states do j
not look after such matters as mak-
ing biscuits, turning husband’s sopk’s
and placing his collar buttons as Tex-
ts women. Thia brings on trouble
and furnishes grist for the divorce I
mill. When a Texan marries a1
Texaness the matrimonial alliance is
so strong that nothing can break it.
