(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Eight Thousand Feet of Lumber Six hundred and seventy years ago, in the day of the Sixth Crusade, before the Old World dreamed there was an America, a tender shoot poked itself | up out of the earth and began to take the shape of a ‘tree. On the bank of a cool mountain stream it reared ‘Yé leafy stature. Storms tried to shake this proud young pine, but the tree grew straight and stood firm. eae | gopee was standing there when Marco Polo, in 127%, returned from his wonder travels in the east. When Kubla Khan was beginning his reign as emperor, fire tried to destroy it, but the tree dived, although it bore scars on its trunk the rest | pf its life, * The giant of the forest was about 60 feet tall | hen Joan or Arc was burned at the stake. About the time of the Spanish Armada our tree reached maturity and when the Pilgrims landed in America { it was 38 inches in diameter at a man’s chest. When Yale College was founded in 1700 the tree measured 46 inches through. ? Before the advent of the Jesuit missionaries few | gvhite men visited in Nine Mile Valley, near Mis- %cula, Mont. Perhaps there passed some occasional, donely trapper, to whom the tree was a guide. If ‘Lewis and Clark had measured the giant in 1805 | ahey would have found it 53 inches in diameter and | probably 150 feet high. 2 The tree saw the white men come and the red pen_go, and heard the roar of a new animal that breathed fire. It saw its neighbors fall one by one, great groans and crashes, and farms take the lace of the forest, = Finally in 1919 its turn came. ts way through that stout trunk.

It remains for the generation now growing up to perfect it. The God of Harvest Out in Kansas the machines of the harvest are hymning a mighty paean to the god of harvest. The! great wheat plains are redolent with riches. Mil- lions of stalks are giving to the world their fruite. In Kansas alone, one hundred and thirty-three million bushels of wheat! That vast rippling sur- face of gold in the southwest is cheer and food esl wealth to the nation, Pessimism is gone, and it is; a time for smiling, harvest time. New wheat was listed the other day. at $1.55, The indication is that the price will rise higher than slump. With this the prospect, Kansas should be enriched by at least $200,000,000 through her | fertile fields, It is an augury and a thrill for the nation. Jay-Walking A number of cities this summer are going to ex- periment with “jay-walking ordinances,” that rules to prevent pedestrians from crossing the street except at designated intersections. The ob- ject of the ruling is to prevent the many accidents caused when pedestrians dart out into the street from behind cars parked at the curb. It is no more than a reasonable regulation. Auto- ists must drive in the street and not on the side- walk, it is only right that the pedestrian should walk on the sidewalk and not on the street, Let them use the proper crossings and traffic fatali- ties will drop off greatly. Franz Hammer dared the German bullets during the war and earned a hero’s name. But he was not brave enough to go on living without the love of the girl of: his choice. Mrs. Amy Burton, a widow, repeatedly told him no one could take her dead husband’s place in her | \heart, andi Hammer died from self-administered | poison, in a Chicago hospital. Just what is bravery? Last year Babe Ruth loitered too long over the | epicurean delights of the succulent hot dog—and his batting average dwindled as his stomach com- plained. This year the impotent infant is no more; the old battering Babe is back, Which gives rise to a ques- tion: Did he cut out the mustard? Editorial Comment Texas’ Circus Primary (Minneapolis Tribune) Texas’ present ‘political campaign, like a good rodeo, succeeds in being eminently rough with a minimum of broken necks. “Ma” Ferguson and husband Jim are spurring the good nag politics to them at some distance from the arena.

It is the giant of traffic, and every year its toll grows more ghastly and tremendous. . Last ‘year 24,000 persons, enough to form the Population of a good-sized city, were killed in traf- dic accidents. In that time 630,000 were injured. © During the World War 119,568 American soldiers including 276 nurses) lost their lives. The tote! tiumber killed in action was 36,815.

YOU MUST WATCH YOUR STEP! 2 , Blacksnakes, on! = On the outeome of a battle between two Missouri ilacksnakes and two Texas rattlesnakes hangs a mentoys decision. If the blacksnakes are tri- phant—as their Missouri backers staunchly main- they will be—the park commissioner of San tonio will import 10,000 of them from Missouri an effort to exterminate the rattlesnakes from as. Never was there a more knightly tournament. On one hand the villainous, deadly reptiles from plains and sage brush of Texas. On the other, honorable champions from Missouri, carrying the lists with them the best wihshes of a long- pressed people. "As between a blacksnake and rattlesnake for 2 lellow we have no hesitancy in proclaiming that ® should choose the former. A snake’ is a snake, ! true, but the gentleman’ from Missouri is 4 and his bite is not dangerous, . to the accompaniment of bleacher shouts, Lynch Da. | he is stire of, she.must have meney, vidson, financier and lumberman, who has a rather! primitive conviction that any man, and Mr. David- son in particular, could govern Texas as capably as “Ma,” circles bodly about, emitting sound and fury quite significant of nothing or everything, according to the auditor. All in all it is a rugged, two-fisted spectacle which testifies not too forcibly to the serene hand which the gentlewoman is alleged to lay upon the fevered brow of politics. For the moment interest centers chiefly upon the challenge boldly flung by Mrs. Ferguson and as boldly thundered back by Mr. Moody. Under the original terms of the defi, the attorney general was to resign his office immedi- ately if the embattled “Ma” led him by 25,000 votes or more at the primaries in July; Mrs. Ferguson, if Mr. Moody led her by a single vote. Latest re- ports have it that Mr. Moody has waived the 25,000- vote margin and has chivalrously consented to step from the attorney generalship if defeated) by one! vote. One may bear with Mr. Davidson, catching avidly at the flimsiest straw in the engulfing tide of pab- licity, if he chooses to.eonstrue the Ferguson-Moody agreement as a political “crap” game wherein the state’s highest offices “ate insulted and disgraced by their incumbents to a degree that brings a blush of shame to every decent and right-thinking citizen of the state,” One may bear with Mr, Moody if he cares to interpret a certain type of political bravado as a daring and sacrificial protest against “Fergusonism.” And one may even bear with hus- band Jim, breathing the forceful Texas inelegan- cies on behalf of his better half, when he brands Mr. Moody a “blowed-up sucker and a gone fawn- skin” for his acceptance of the challenge. One may bear with them all, yet the entire pageant of ges- ture and flourish seems essentially child- ish and _ undignified The challenge, the charges and counter-charges reek too strong- ly of mock heroics ~ to warrant = re- spect as evidence of sincere subservience to the public will. Mrs. Ferguson, presumably, was elected for a certain term of office, irrespective of Moodyism; presumably, too, Mr. Moody was chosen to serve as attorney general for a given term, re- gardless of Fergusonism or menace, | For either to resign prematurely as the result of campaign flip- pancies is to run counter to the desires of the elec- example of poor taste on the part of each, What it does is to confuse beyond reason: the issues of the campaign; a vote for Moody automatically. be- comes a vote for the lieutenant governor to suc- on the other hand, agreed to abdicate as governor | that A GIRL’S MURDERED FAITH I put my hand softly on the ari of Joan Meredith. 1° had alwa; believed that to have one’s pri driven down in the dust and tram- pled on is much worse than having one’s heart broken, I knew this w: true when I heard Joan’s next words. “When he said that he had divided the money which I spent on him with. such joy with his wife, duds: my heart just stopped and Ivhoped would not begin. beating again. to me had been so sacred had jut heen business to him.
