GOVERNOR-ELECT Dan Moody in two road contract
suits saved to the tax payers of Texas upwards of (
million dollars. He compelled the American Road com-
pany to surrender and disgorge. He compelled the Hoff-
man Road company to surrender and agree that the
amount due the state would be $412,000.
These are just two of the achievements to the credit
of this public official who was drafted by the people for
attorney general and before he had served a year in the
office, was drafted and elected to the high office of
governor. •
Speak in deeds. This is what Moody has done. This is
what the people of Texas believe he will continue to do as
the servant of a great democracy.

OINTMENT
Standard Oil operators, the giants of the petroleum in-
dustry, have demonstrated that there can be no monopoly
in the production, refining and marketing of the black
gold product. There is free trade in crude. Mexican
crude is on the free list. Republican leaders say that pro-
tection is the thing.
They protect all the manufactured wares of the north
and the east. Now the great oil producing states are in
the south and the west Congressman John C. Box of
Texas wants to shut the Mexican out but he will vote to
keep Mexican crude on the free list.
Texas is a great petroleum producing state. Why should
the producers of Texas crude be compelled to compete with
the Pridussrs of Mexican crude, that is, "if protection is

twenty minutes of breakneck speed

violent jolt brought her rudely out

SENATOR GERALD F. Nye of North Dakota, in his in-
" vasion of Wall Street, let loose a lot of non-partisan
economic logic. “One big factor at the bottom of the
present agriculture ruin,” said the senator, “is the fact
that the government through legislation has built manu-
facturing up to a plain of prosperity never before reached
and never reached by the farmers. The manufacturer of
farm machinery collects prices in proportion to this plane,
while the farmer is forced by lack of legislation to sell his
goods at the old world plane, which is less than it cost
to raise his crop.”
Legislation could solve the problem, said this new Alex-
ander Hamilton from the northwest, ‘but Andrew W. Mel-
lon controlled the class of legislation that was needed and
would not allow it to be passed.”. Then Senator Nye
waded into deep water. He pointed to the settlement of
the Italian debt of 25 cents on the dollar by the govern-
ment, “the reason being that Italy had co-operated with
us in winning the war.”
Then in contrast, he recalled his own effort to have
farm debts “also caused by the war settled at the same
rate.” This young senator from the land of the open
spaces is not fond of Secretary Mellon. He dislikes the
big rich. He dislikes the alleged methods of big business.
His parting shot, and Wall Street must have shuddered,
is interesting.
“But Secretary Mellon in a memorandum on my pro-*
posed bill wrote, ‘I consider this legislation unsound, and
therefore, I will not favor it’s adoption.’ My question is,
‘When is legislation sound?’ The Mellon tax bill was
crammed down the throats of congress because Mr. Mellon
holds to be sound only legislation that helps pay back the
people who provide the funds for political campaigns. That
is why John D. Rockefeller, Jr., saved more by that bill
than did 20 states the size of North Dakota. That is why
the big gainers were Thomas W. Lamont, George F.
Baker, J. Pierpont Morgan and the rest.” ‘
And then the young senator from North Dakota jour-
neyed from New York to Washington to breakfast with
the president and to discuss the federal patronage to be
shaken from the plum tree in his state.
Politics is a great game, and the insurgent republicans
talk as wildly as old time populists ever keeping an eye
on the pie counter. Man is a funny animal when he gets
to be a political acrobat.
dlth, with a hint of uneasiness in
her tone.
Eric held her hands closer for a
minute, then drbpped one of them
and slipped an arm around her.
"Can’t you guess what I’m going to
say, Jude?” •
"I don’t- choose to guess." a h e
answered, a little stiffly.
"Then I’ll tell you. I want to
ask you to marry me—tonight at
Earlham. I’ve got a license clerk
waiting for me there."

Judith begins to have her doubts
about Eric, and Dr. Dorn comes to
her with an apology.

"Will,'' said Eve, after a moment.
"What did you say?"
"Having a fight," Wetherel nod-
ded. "I came to get you.”
"And what." sal Eve caustically,
"did you think I could do with a
couple of battling men?”
Wetherel looked bewildered.
"Why—I don’t know, exactly, Tom
Ballard and I were coming down the
road—I waa bringing him to call on
you, Eve—when we saw the crowd
of people. I caught a ellmpse of
Eric and Dorn, their shiFts torn in
ribbons, with blood on their taces,
pounding each other for all they
were worth. I was so shocked J
stood still for a minute—then came
to get you. Perhaps I had a vague
notion that you could make Eric
stop, if anyone could."
Judith looked at Eve, with a fliek-
•r of suspiclon in her eyes. "You’re

worst in Pendleton. But what hap-

"The other guy was holding Eric’s
arm. Dorn put on his hat and
walked away like a deacon going to
church, with his face still bloody,
and hla coat over his arm. His
shirt tall was torn and flapping out
behind." •
Wetherel turned to Eve. "This is
the worst yet," he declared. "A
street brawl! Sigma Psi can’t af-
ford—’’
Eve looked at him disgustedly.
"Oh, damn Sigma Psi i" she ex-
claimed. “That isn’t important.”
Wetherel sulked. “Well, I’d like
to know why a new fellow like
Waters should step in and wreck
the reputation of the frat after
we’ve all worked to build it up. I
think his p l should be lifted."
Eve made a gesture of incredul-
ity. “You’ve turned horribly moral
all of 3, sudden.” She slapped a
cushion into place, sank back
against it and lighted another ciga-
ret. “You haven’t told us what
they were fighting about," she said.
Wetherel looked uncomfortable.
"Well, I don’t know," he said slow-
ly. “I don’t really know." He looked
furtively at Judith.
"What happened after they sep-
arated them?” Judith asked Tom
Ballard.
“Well, the -of walked off and
the two fellows held Eric. I guess
they " him go home then. I came
on here to tell you the news."
Eve rang for the maid. “Bring
some coffee and sandwiches,’’ she
said. Then, turning back to her
guests, she smiled. “The best
remedy for heroics and hysterics is
food,” she said. "Let’s forget Eric
and Dora and have a good chat
among ourselves.”
Wetherel responded with his
usual facile flow of chatter. Tom
Ballard sat on the floor, with dog-
like eyes on Eva. Ths firs crackled
and ths talk went on. Judith sat in
hsr place at the other side of the
fireplace, lost in thought
The maid brought her tray and
Eve poured coffee with much light
banter. But when Judith declined
the sandwiches, she mads no at-
tsm pt to force her to eat
The little gilt clock on the man-
tel struck ten, as ths maid come in
for the tray. Judith stood up. “If
you'll call a taxi for me, Will, I’m
going home. I'll run up to your
room and get my things. Eve."
When she came down again, she
paused on the landing. Her name
had been spoken in the room below.
