ly smaller margin than the others
Kbw Harris county's representa-
tion in the lower house of the leg-
itlature is limited to seven mem-
bers until after the population
passes 700,000. Under the old plan,
we should have nine or more now.
The constitution provides a
bottle of 160 members apportioned
on a population basis.
This amendment places control
of the legislation in the hands of
the smaller counties regardless of
papulation shifts and it means the
larger cities are going to have dif-
ficulty getting any measures pass-
SEv.
However, the people of Harris
■' county, along with the remainder
of the state displayed splendid
lodgment on the other five amend-
ments. The one which would have
created a liquor monopoly and
put the state squarely into the li-
quor business was defeated.
TTte other four were carried.
ADOPTION OF THE amend-
ment to increase the salary of
constitutional officers removes a
cause for shame.
AS soon as the legislature makes
ail appropriation and after the
beginning of the next term of of-
fice our governor will draw $12,-
000 per year instead of the $4000
he has ben receiving; the attorney
general will receive $10,000 in
stejd of the $4000 he has been
getting and other officials will Jk*
Sjfer- railed from $2600 and $2000 to
$6000 each.
Other amendments adopted are
one permitting creation of a teach-
er retirement fund, one to permit
workman’s compensation insurance
for state employes and one, to (li-
vid* the responsibility of pardon-
ing prisoners between the gover-
nor and a pardon board.

Voluntary Ceusorship
The American press prints cables frim London covering the Simp-
son divorce. The saute news was available to every London newspaper,
but none touched the story.
It can not be a distaste for scandal as such that explains a deliber-
ate supression of important news. Few American journals can do as
thorough a job of wallowing in scandal as Britain's sensation press.
The course of the London press seems rather to be dictated by a
nameless fear, an apprehension that the slightest loss of popular
faith in those forces, including the Crown, which make for national
stability in a world where few nations are secure, could invoke disaster.
The British press does not submit to censorship with good grace,
and it is odd it should impose it now on itself. What it refuses to
publish about the King and his relations with Mrs. Simpson is, in one
way or another, noised about and magnified, as all rumor is, in the.
telling. Far safer, it would seem would be to print the news ffbout one
like the King, who owes what he is and has and hopes for to the Bri-
tish citizen, who supports him and is entitled to know how he wears
the responsibilities that go with the public’s sufferance of the Crown.
It is safer not only because a story told openly is less dangerous
than one garbled in passing, but as it bears on the freedom of British
journalism. A press censoring itself is not much freer than a submis-
sive press. In a world where the foundations of democracy—or such
as still stand—are assailed daily, it is a fatal habit to begin to culti-
vate. * . ’
Nature is seldom wasteful. The probable reason lightning never
strikes twice in the same place is because it isn’t necessary.
We’ve never been able to figure out Whether the safety razor was
invented for adult males or little boys. Remember, it abojished the old-
fashioned razor strop.
Perhaps parents should not be severe with a young son who con-
stantly plays hookey from school. He may grow up into a congress-
man who takes his parents on nice, long, free junkets.
You’re the dumb one if you try to carry on a serious discussion
with a fellow who gets sore because there is so much international
news in the paper he can’t find the race track results.

and checked the impulse to tell
him she was busy, that she needed

Alix felt cold. "Perhaps you’d

"I can’t make up my mind
whether I like my kitchen or my

said, skipping about Uke a child
with a cocktail shaker in its arms.
She put it down and came to perch
on the arm of Alix’s chair, "Look.

“WeU, we’ve decided to have a

After that conversation, Alix
looked on her coming marriage

was sometimes fearful and some-
times desirable.
"If I have a baby,” she thought,
