THE EDITORIAL DIGEST
A Concise Review of the Opinions of Texas Newspaper
Editors Upon the Problems of the Day
By GEORGE 1. SEITZ
The remedy seems to be the
adoption of a new and more modern
code of criminal law and procedure,
together with the reorganization of
the police along new and more
efficient lines. Some such plans will
lie offered the 42nd legislature when
it convenes in Austin, and recent ex-
perience within the state insures that
the plan will receive careful consider-
ation.
Texas seems to be preparing for a
general house-cleaning.

LYNCH DAVID80N
To many Texas editors Lynch
Davidson's decision not to make the
rwet for governor proved a bitter un-
expected disappointment
Despite the fact that he had not
announced for the position, a recent
newspaper poll nominated him the
gubernatorial choice of a substantial
majority of Texas newspaper editors.
Since he had evidenced no disinclina-
tion to be governor in former years,
Ida aparent reluctance to enter this
mar's list was generally supposed to
be political strategy.)
Mr. Davidson has succeeded in fool-
ins nearly everybody. If he cherishes
any scret ambition to occupy the
highest office within the gift of the
people, he may find that he hp set
up for himself a barrier which is
extremely difficult to scale. Few peo-
ple enjoy jokes of which they are
asade the butt, and Mr. Davidson's
actions take that color. Even more
pronounced, however, is the popular
dislike for the curt refusal of prof-
fered offers, and Mr. Davidson's
actions smack of that flavor, too.
In refusing to make the race, it
is not improbable that Davidson also
fooled a bunch of candidates. His
atatement indicated he would view
the success of Love, Ferguson or May-
field in much the same light as an
epidemic of leprosy. At the same
time he trained his heaviest artillery
against the so-called "Sterling" plan
of highway financing, thereby creat-
ing the impression that Sterling would
be almost, if not quite, as unaccept-
able as any of the first named trio.
Moreover, he neglected to say
whether Small or Young should be
given support.
It is generally believed that Lynch
Davidson mistreated the electorate. A
lot of voters has sailed out on the
political seas to join his command,
and when the storm broke he not only
refused their support, but curtly
denied them envoy to safe harbor.
That, too, is deeply resented.
unopposed candidates are actuated by
a genuine desire to serve the state,
rather than their own or special
interests. In most instances, it is to
be presumed that such is the case.
In some, of course, the reverse will
prove true.
Hereafter, however, the people
should see to it that they are given
the opportunity to choose between
two candidates. Otherwise all the
principles of government by represen-
tation are set at naught, and the
legislature becomes the master, not
the servant, of the people.
o
THE BRADY TRIAL
When, through the confidence of
the people, a man is granted high
public position, he oves to his state
a peculiar obligation. Priv. ^t actions
equeally as much as his official labors,
acquire the color of a public trust,
and he must walk more circumspectly
than do other men.
Public men have no business with
private vices. Like Ceasar's wife, in
every particular their lives must be
lived upon a plane which is wholly
above suspicion.
Judge Brady had invited and been
granted the confidence of Texas peo-
ple. He had accepted at their hands
positions of trust and honor.
Beyond question, Mr. Davidson fool-
ad the people and the gubernatorial
candidates; but if ever he has
•eeasion to ask favors of the
electorate, there are many who believe
he will discover he has also fooled
himself.
LEGISLATIVE CANDIDACIES
A dozen candidates are out for the
governorship of Texas, and a goodly
number desire to he lieutenant-gover-
nor or attorney general. In conse-
quence, any casual observer might in-
fer that Texas politics are character-
iced by spirited controversies all down
the line.
That such a deduction would err
widely is proven by a survey of the
legislative candidacies.
If, for the greatest of the state,
there are too many gubernatorial
candidates, then by the same token
there are too few legislative candi-
dates. In county after county there
will be found but one aspirant for
election to the legislature, and andar
such conditions the people can do little
picking and choosing.
Do the people think legislative
positions are unimportant T Is the
power of the legislative body under-
estimated ? Have the numerous in-
atances in which a governor's pro-
gram has been nullified by an obstin-
ate legislature been forgotten?
In accepting public position, Judge
Brady by implication pledged to the
people of the state his word that al-
ways, under every circumstance and
condition, he would so conduct him-
self as to vindicate the judgment of
the people who saw fit to elevate him
from the ranks.

Announcements

make the following announcements of
candidates for the various public
offices as indicated. Announcements
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic Primary election to be held in
July.

JOHN W. HORNSBY
J. P. BUCHANAN
(Re-election)
When, by reason of improper indul-
gence of the baser instincts to which
all mankind is heir, Judge Brady
dragged himself to the gutter, he be-
came guilty of a greater crime than
infidelity to the patient and loyal
woman who in his hour of trial fought
so valiently by his side. He became
guilty, even, of a greater crime than
murder. He became guilty of that
most unpardonable of all crimes—be-
trayal of the confidence of a whole
people.
Texas editors, and the people for
whom they speak, will never be satis-
fied with the judgment rendered a-
gainst him by a jury of Judge Brady's
peers. They do not believe that three
years in the penitentiary is adequate
expiation for the sin of stabbing to
death a youthful paramour.
To the next legislature will be sub-
mitted matters of gravest concern to
the state. Bills will be offered which
contemplate broad changes in criminal
laws and court procedure. By its
actions, it is not improbable that the
coming legislature will determine
whether or not Texas is to enjoy a
desade of great industrial growth and
prosperity. Fundamental changes in
the policies of taxatio. will be con-
aiderad.
Nevertheless gross betrayal of the
public trust and confidence will re-
main the real reason for the people's
continued protest against the sentence
meted out to Judge Brady.
Out of its wealth of experience in
dealing with the frailties of human
nature, the law has seen fit to de-
fine varying degrees of culpability
for the man who takes human life.
Under certain circumstances it has
Sine so far as to make homicide
stifiable. It is especially significant,
therefore, that the law has never de-
fined the slightest justification for
the betrayal of public confidence.
CRIME IN THE MONTH'S
NEWS
Crime played too prominent a part
in Texas news during the month of
May. Mob outrages at Sherman and
Honey Grove vied with the Brady
trial at Dallas for prominence in the
Texas press.
Thess incidents had barely lost
front page position when from Hous-
ton came the news that a more or
less notorious aviator had been "taken
for a ride" in the approved Chicago
style.

dictments have' been returned. As
yet, however, it is not known that the
guilty parties are confined behind

Man Against Microbes
Man's struggle to adapt himself
to his environment changes with the
changing centuries but it goes on un-
ceasingly. Although he need no longer
battle with the monstrous mastodon,
he has not yet vanquished the
microbe. The odds, however, are not
against him. We are reassured by
recent scientific discoveries that there
is still truth in the old proverb that
nature brings forth none but she pro-
vides for them.
As a result of experiments at the
College of Medicine of the University
of Illinois, Doctor Lloyd Arnold
asserts that the skin of our bodies
has the power of disinfecting itself
with astonishing rapidity. If we get
germs on our hands, for instance,
nature immediately begins an in-
visible cleansing process to kill them
off. The cleaner the skin is, the more
quickly it can do its work. Dirt and
oil retard the bactericidal action.
Doctor Arnold's experiments show-
ed that a clean hand which had been
submerged in a suspension of bacteria
¡disinfected itself completely within
ten minutes, while an unwashed hand
treated in the same still retained 95
per cent of its dangerous guests at
the end of that time. When a layer
of fat or vaseline was anplied to the
skin, the process was slowed up. The
disinfection went on—but it took the
skin a much langer tome to rid it-
self of impurities..
The knowledge' abtained through
these experiments should give us a
new sense of security against the
microbes of disease, for we have at
hand a simnle weapon of defense. If
we keep our hands and bodies clean
with soap and water, there is a good
chance that the bacteria that settle
on the skin will be automatically and
quickly destroyed. Then, of we are
cut or scratched, infection is not likely
to take place. Nor are the germs mat
cling to our hands to survive for a
long life of travel.
In some far dist&ht Utopia, patho-
genic microbes may be as extinct as
the huge monsters which made life
hazardous for our cjve-dwelling for-
bears. But since .hey are stili an
ever present, though invisible reality,
we are fortunate in having so re-
sourceful an ally as nature.

Mexican Poor Get Farms
MEXICO CITY—Allottment of
farms to Mexican peasants is pro-
vided in a decree signed by President
Rubio Ortiz. None of the land so
j distributed has been expropriated
from large landholders due to evi-
dence that large productive holdings
, were broken up in the past while
millions of acres of good land lay idle.
It is the aim of the President to
increase employment by colonizing
idle lands and at the same time to
improve the insufficient farm pro-
uction of the country.

Corn-and-cob meal is a good form
in which to feed corn to horses who
do not have time to chew ear or
shelled corn thoroughly, or whose
teeth are too poor to eat the whole
grain. Corn-and-cob meal has about
the same feeding value, pound for
pound, as shelled corn. It is best to
grind the meal only as needed, as it
ma** mold ip storage.
A mixture of one part of ammonium
sulphate and three parts of cottonseed
meal makes an excellent fertilizer for
lawns, sa-i the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Apply it three times in
the growing season, at the rate of
12 or 15 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
Cottonseed meal alone is satisfactory,
though it does not act as quickly as
the mixture of ammonium sulphate
and cottonseed meal.

A clean cow is the first step in the
production of clean milk. Even though
cows appear to be clean, they may be
very dusty and may need to be brush-
ed before each milking. If kept in the
stable, they should have a thorough
grooming at least once a day. Clip
the long hairn from the udder, flanks,
and tail. *o dirt will not cling to them.
Just before milking, wipe the udder
flanks and belly with a clean, damp
cloth. Sufficient bedding and frequent
removal of manure, also help to keep
cows clean.
