TEMPLE, Tex., December 16.— Ferguson, who Is to become go of this vast commonweaith, which not so very, very long ago was a republic of its own right, seems destined to get into all sorts of trouble with the political organizations of the country. For “Ma” Is going to give the State for two vears a “man’s” administration. It is commonly un- derstood by now that she Is going to have a man cabinet, and that office aeekers of the feminine persuasion have found “Ma" icy cold as to their rights for public preferment. Leaders of the feminist movement, elated at first over * election, are turning their gaze away from Texas, saying that this is not the ideal victory they were looking for. “Ma” Is not the great sentimental- ist she has been pictured at times, and in her conduct of State affairs she is to be guided largely by the ! practical views of a hushand who is one politic the State has ever known, a man served one entire and one interrupted term as governor. of the keenest s Won't Stop Flogging. Tt has been reported that “Ma,” be- cause she is a woman, would first of all put a stop to the “flogging” of prisoners in the State. As a matter of fact Texas has had very little of that sort of thing. “Ma” will look into the subject along with other things, and if she finds abuses at any time, undoubtedly with the advice of her cabinet, she will correct them. * The truth is that “abuses” in the Texas prison system seems to have been along an entirely different line recently. The “honor” system ha been on trial at the State farm. and the “good” prisoners have had no guards over them, being permitted to live as free a life as possible within the confines of the big ranch. “Ma’ does not think well of the honor sys- tem, and, it is sald, will abolish it There have been too many escapes under it, she has been told.

During her campaign she made few speeches, being content most of the while to utter just a few words of greeting and then introduce her hus- band to do the talking. Of course, allowing one's husband to do all the talking for one is en- tirely out of line with the ideas of the modern feminist movement—an anachronism to say the least—and that is another reason why “M likely to fall down woefully in the es timation of her sisters in politics throughout the rest of the country.
