Mann Hits County Officials
AUSTIN.—Attorney General Ger-

tor county commissioners, nor to
pay their travel expense while on
missions outside the county. Many
Texas counties, if this ruling applies
generally, have been violating the
law. In Dallas county, for instance,
a check last winter showed that var-
ious members of the County Com-
missioners’ Court made a total of
27 trips to Austin, principally on
lobbying errands, during the first
four months of the legislative ses-
sion. It would be interesting to
know how many illegally paid for
trips the taxpayers financed when
the county judges and commission-
ers moved in on the legislature to
lobby for the County Judge’s Road
Bond bill, apd the Tax Remission
bill—the latter declared unconsti-
tutional by Mann and a Court of
Civil Appeals—were before .the so-
lons.

run continued to pile up discord
and waste of the taxpayers’ money
this week. Railroad Commissioners
Jerry Sadler and Lon Smith, who
“cleaned out’’ employes of the Com-
mission when they formed a “job
alliance” after Sadler took office,
were worried, as Gordon Bigham,
Sadler’s appointee to the post of
deputy supervisor in charge of the
Midland oil proration district, made
$5,000 bond on a felony complaint
charging he accepted a bribe of
$5,000 to recommend no reduction
in the allowable of an oil company.

The Crucifixion, the Resurrection
and Easter text: "I lay down my
life . . No man taketh it from me,
I lay it down of myself . . I have
power to lay it down . . and take
it again.”—-John 10-18,
Somebdoy said, “I don’t see why
Jesus had to die." He didn’t.
Think of this—He was proffered
the most colossal bribe ever offer-
ed to any man on earth—and it was
not “counterfeit money,” either.
Matt. 4; 8-9. And it was proffered
by no less a person than “The Prince
of this World.”—John 15:30. That’s
not all. The tempter’s plan avoid-
ed Gethsemane and its agony, skip-
ped Golgotha’s cross, distress and
shame. And tendered uncounted
wealth, incomparable honor and
fame—the highest office on earth,
King of all the Kingdoms in this
world! ,
And, even after He had turned
down this proposition, He cbuld
have gone on according to the re-
cord until He arrived at the cross
in the hands of the merciless mob,
everything ready for the crucifix-
ion—then halted the program with
a gesture of his hand, afid with a
v/ord struck dead every member
of that mob, been free, and the hero
of the occasion for all time.
In the heart of humanity there is
ever a song ringing, “The Old Rug-

Not because it was the “death
bed” of the Son of God and Savior
of the world! Not because it speaks

author and finisher of the Christian
Faith “endured the cross, despising
the shame—for the joy that was set
before Him.” Children of God sing
of the cross, and shout allelujahs,
and praise God at Easter because
of the empty tomb—because of the
victorious resurrection from the
dead of our crucified and buried

Woods Addresses
Red River Teachers
Red River county schools were
closed Wednesday afternoon as
teachers and trustees went to
Clarksville to hear the address of
State Superintendent L. A. Woods

STANLEY-TAYLOR
Miss Ruby Stanley, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Stanley of New
Hagansport, was married March 9
to L. D. Taylor of Gilmer. The
ceremony was performed by L. L.
Gieger, minister of the Church of
Clyist at his home in Mt. Vernon,
according to the Optic-Herald. They
are at home in Talco, where the
groom is employed by Humble.
