There was a new wrihkle in Texas politics
Tuesday night when Texas politicians set up till
the wee sma hours listening to electicin returns
and trying to figure out whether or not the
state was going to vote for a Republican Pres-
ident. They went to bed—that is, if they went
to bed at all—in a doubtful state of mind. It
was a situation that this generation never ex-
pected to see, and which we have heard predict-
ed we never would see a hundred times within
the last two months. It looks to us that
this is one election that the people in Texas run,
instead of the politicians.

HITCHING TO THE WRONG END OF
THE LOG.
Fifty years ago a man writing of pioneer
days said, “A logging-bee was a good place to
study the difference there was in men with ref-
erence to doing work to advantage and getting
the most and the best out of oxen. One young
man that I knew never hitched to a log that his
cattle could not draw and he always hitched in
such a way that they could draw it to best ad-
vantage, while others always seemed to hitch to
the wrong end of the log and their oxen usually
balked.”
Hitching to the wrong end of the business
log today is as disastrous as it was in the old
days to hitch to the wrong end of the timber log.
When a salesman goes into the store or
office of a business organization and tells the
potential buyer that he has used poor judgment
in making his stock purchases and that the pro-
duct he represents is the only one of its kind
that is dependable, he is hitching to the wrong j
When every driver regards every child
playing on the sidewalk as a possible victim of
his automobile and drives accordingly there will
be fewer child fatalities on the streets. The
driver must do a large part of the child’s think-
ing. He will also meet many people old enough
to vote who have never grown up and he must
think for them too, if he is to avoid disastrous
consequences.
Of course, children shouldn’t play in the
streets, but they do. Thousands of children live
long distances from the play grounds and the
mother whose child is playing in the street is
seldom wilfully [negligent; there is a limit to the
number of things she can keep her eye on at
once. Of course the safety of her family should
come first but who can blame her too severely
if she commits the very human error of forget-
ting?
Constant carefulness may take the fun out
of motoring, but it may save a future of re-
grets. Extra caution is the price we must pay
for the convenience of the motor age.

Cotton gin men of the county are smiling,
for they are going to get several hundred bales
of cotton to gin, more than they expected a few
weeks ago. There is really a fair top crop over
most parts of the county. The gin man at Co-

close to 400 more bales come to the gin here.
We understand that other parts of the county
are faring likewise. It appears that this top
crop in this section does not extend North of
the Frio river.

The collection of election returns and the
radio system of giving the news to the public
on Tuesday night was the fastest ever known,
and by eleven o’clock enough returns had been
received from almost every state in the union to
tell in which column it would be placed. As
early as ten o’clock the great state of New York
was conceded to Hoover, and shortly after
eleven thirty Governor Smith had conceded his
opponent’s election and wired him congratula-
tions.

About the coolest man in this nerve rack-

Vice Presidential nominee. At eight o’clock

retired with instructions not to wake him before
seven the next morning, regardless of how the
election went. We assume that the Senator was
“cocksure” of the result.

On the eve of the election Governor
Smith wired Senator Robertson “the people will
render their decision at the polls tomorrow and
they will not err.” There appears to be no ar-
gument about the decision.
