Faux Pas Of Weekly Press
WHILE THE effect is probably unintended,
many weekly newspapers in this section of
the state are being unfair to prospective
gubernatorial candidates in printing the
weekly column, "The Rest of The Record",
put out by Governor Allred's personal pub-
licity agents with Allred's name signed to
Newspaper readers are certainly interested
the events that make capitol news, but
tey deserve a fair interpretation. And those
bio -do £iot get this through the news col-
of metropolitan dailies should not be
discriminated against by their home town
weeklies. And that's what the weeklies are
doing when they hand their readers Allred's
political propaganda dressed up as official
Information on the affairs of the Governor's
office.
In view of his plans for a possible third
term ... or at least for the maintenance
of his political prestige in Texas . . . Allred •
can hradly be blamed for sending out fhis
publicity material ... all candidates do it.
But there is certainly no reason why weekly
newspaper editors must fill their columns
•with it before other candidates have even
.been given a chance.
It's simply a faux pas of the part of weekly
editors and a black eye for their ability to
properly sort worthwhile news and comment
from biased propaganda and publicity. If
subscribers are to read and have confidence
In a paper, they are due the most diligent
efforcsaP^ie publishers. If nothing more,
iff a point of newspaper ethics.
o
Debate'Will Not Solve The
Problem
If Congress engages in a prolonged debate
over who is responsible for the current
business recession, time will be lost but it
is doubtful if anything of value will be gain-
ed.
During the latter part of the Hoover ad-
ministration, politicians, economists, statis-
ticians, would-be Messiahs, and ordinary
ftilzens by the thousands set forth their
views as to what caused the depression,
but, to this day, there is no certainty as to
what brought on the slump.
It is the duty of congress to try to find
out what the trouble is and to apply a
remedy, but debate among members is not
likely to be anything more than political
maneuvering and attempts to shift the
blame and confuss the public.
Some causes of the recession are obvious
enough to be acccepted without debate. They
include high and punitive taxation, labor
I discord, the disturbed international situation,
fear of additional expermental legislation,
uneasiness over the unbalanced budget, the
rising national debt and monetary insta-
5Hity.
It is within the power of congress and the
administration to remove some of these
y causes, but the atmosphere in Washington
is charged with politics. The speeches made
by senators and representatives will consist
largely of propaganda. They will thicken
rather than dispell the fog.—Dallas Times
JUST HUMANS
WITH THE NEWS of Justice George Suther-
land's retirement from the Supreme Court
bench via the resignation route under the
Sumners act, one is confronted with the
fresh memory of Gov. Allred's recent visit
to Washington. Maybe, just maybe, Jimmie
had a 'hunch' that something big was go-
ing to break and was there to get in his
bid! Wouldn't that be a swell appointment?
Just think . , . then it would be Justice
James Allred! WOW!

THE DALLAS weather man gives us the
surprising information that during the month
of December old Sol was on active duty for
a total of only 66 hours during the entire
month. At times it seemed as though giving
the sun that much of a lead was a little
too much,
**********
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS reveals, after a
brown study, that the budget which Roose-
velt recently sent to Congress for that body's
o. k., called for an expenditure that would
make it necessary to spend $13,450 per
minute during the next fiscal year. That's
spending that is spending . . . particularly
when you figure out that it is the old man
himself, John Public, who is footing the
bills via the tax route.

A RECENT Dun and Bradstreet survey
showed Texas ranking seventh in farm cash
income, behind California, Illinois, Ohio,
New York, Wisconsin and Indiana, and gave
an interesting breakdown of the state's
relative sources of farm revenue. It showed
that cotton, as would be expected, account-
ed for 51.7 per cent; cattle, 11.2 per cent;
milk, 4.5 per cent; poultry and eggs, 3.8 per
cent, and sheep and wool, regarded as major
Texas products, only 3.7 per cent. The pre-
ponderance of cotton, and the relatively minor
part of milk, in the Texas farm income pic-
ture, are significant when it is noted that,
nationally, milk accounts for 17.9 per cent
of total farm income compared to only 11.9
for cotton. Cattle was second, nationally, at
12.5 per cent.

AN ADVERTISEMENT in one of the upper-
bracket "class" magazines calls attention to
the fact that the advertiser's product will
be a leader in women's wear during the
summer months. The fabric is enchantingly
named: "Sugar Sacking". To us it looks
pretty suspicious . . . one suggestion would
be that the fashion expert for this particu-
lar firm became lost while on the way to
Florida spots and wound up in the back
woods of East Texas and thus a new fabric
was born to delight milady! ;
**********
AT THIS WRITING ther^jiave. been re-
ported no serious traffic accidents for the
year 1938. That brings to mind the fact that
during the Christmas ahd New Year holidays
accidents were at a Minimum, there being
no record pf any serious injuries received
locally during that time. Evidently Mineolans
have made a New Year's resolution con-
cerning the traffic situation and from the
above . . . they are not doing so bad. The
thing to do is to keep it up. It's'a long way
to the end of 1938 and many things can hap-
pen . . . let's do the best we can to keep
traffic fatalities off the slate for as long
as ipossible • • . and that is just as long as
you will drive with reasonable care.

LOCAL LEG ION AIRES are looking forward
with great anticipation to Friday night of
this week. On that night will appear before
them Adjutant General Carl Nesbitt, who
will present an oral account of his goings
and comings during his recent visit to
France with the American Legion contingent.
He promises to omit nothing of importance
... or interest and even goes so far as to
profess that his description will include an
account of everything that transpired dur-
ing his day from his morning bath to his
nightcap.
**********
A STELLAR GROUP of athletic 'greats' will
gather 'round the groaning board on Friday
night in a Waco hotel to do honor to those
men selected as the outstanding footballers
of the 1937 season. Mineola, in the person
of her flashy half-back Hugh Pennal will be
represented along with Coach _ Snow and
Supt. Ben A. Copass. The occassion will be
the presentation of awards from various or-
ganizations. Hugh will return to town sport-
ing at new $60 gold watch a gift from the
Coca Cola Co.

Corroboration From On High
By IRVIN S. COBB
T ITTLE Florence was inclined to over-exaggeration; also she was
^ overly timid in some regards. Her mother was striving'to rid her
of both faults—to inculcate in her a strict regard for the absolute truth
and tc cure her of all fear of things in which there was no real danger.
One afternoon Florence was playing in the front yard. A fox-
tcrrier belonging to a neighbor, darted at her playfully. With a shriek
of fright Florence fled indoors and never stopped running until she had
rcached the room upstairs where her mother sat.
"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Marshall.
"Mamma," said Florence, "a great big bear came through a crack
in the fence and chased me in the house; he almost caught me, too."
"Florence," said the mother sternly, "aren't you ashamed of your-
self to be so frightened of Mr. James' little pet dog and then to tell
a deliberate falsehood? I was sitting here at the window and I saw
the whole thing. Now I'm going to punish you. You go in your own
room and get down on your knees and confess to the Lord that you're a
naughty little girl and that you told your mother a deliberate lie. I want
you to stay there, too, until you feel sure that you have obtained for-
giveness for your sin and until you are sure that you can be better
in the future."
The sunshine outside was alluring and there was mud-pie in a half
finished state in the yard. Florence reluctantly withdrew herself to tht.
privacy of the nursery. In a surprisingly short time she opened the door
and poked her head out.
"It's all right, mother," she said. "I told God all about it and he
says he didn't blame me a bit He thought it was a bear, too, when
he first saw it."

THE MAYOR SEZ-
The Mayor Sez head up)
Well folks, I can't vouch
for the truth of the following
statements but I am informed
that New Year's resolutions in
Washington will be about as
follows:
President Roosevelt will re-
solve to balance the budget in
1938 but don't you be sur-
prised if it takes him as long
as it did Hoover Prosperity to
turn that corner. Mr. Hopkins
will likely resolve to find more
unemployed and find more
cash to make them happy.
Henry Wallace will resolve to
seek a law to make "Reliefers"
grow more stuff on some acres
while growing less on others.
But, I'm sure that he won't go
so far as to kill cows and can
sows again. Jim Farley has too
many odd jobs already and he
probably won't make any reso-
lutions to -figt anything more
than a big sup^y of RED INK
for his use ney year. But now
this guy Harol Ickes is sure
?reedy when itcomes to want-
ing and he wl surely resolve
ho get many rw projects and
i, special . kirv shovel for
^he comfort <J "leaners."
