You'd have to search « long tme
to find a more eloquent description
of the cowboy than that of Judge
Chs. E. Coombes of Stamford in his
little book, "Moods, Meditations
and Memries":
"The cowboy is the most unique
character itr all history and as dif-
ferent from others as if an inhabi-
tant of another world— unique in
that he keeps his own company, docs
his own thinking and acts pursuant
lo his own will.
"He guides his course by the North
Star, studies the firmament, the top-
ography of the range, the faces of
men, the flesh marks—as well as the
brands—of cattle and horses.
"A sniff of the breeze warns him
cf approaching storm and, by his ob-
rcrvation of the movements of cattle,
he senses the stampede of the vast
herd. He rides through the rain, the
wind and the storm and, amid om-
inous peals of thunder, watches the
lightning flash from horn to horn
and hoof to hoof of the drifting cat-
tle.
"The cowpuncher is without pol-
ish but, under a rough and rugged
exterior, beats a big heart and lives
a courageous and generous soul. TTe
is honest, . because Natiye—with
which he is most closely associated—
never misled him or told him a lie.
"eH begins his education in the
School of Nature with observation
and experience as his chief instruct-
ors and finishes in the University of
Creation, majoring in asrtonomy,
geography and physiogonomy, on
which is based his unwritten master's
degree.
"Usually born of frontier parents
in the wide open spaces, the cowBoy
spends his life in similar surround-
:ngs. He s nurtured in the lap of na-
ture, grows to manhood in the great
outdoors of life, spends his allotted
'■me under the Canopy of heaven,
rnd at last unrolls his bedding, wraps
the draperies of the Eternal around
him, arid lies down to pleasant
dreams, confident of an awakening-
at the dawn of a new day."
"This might happen to you—
Suscribe"
A man who was too stingy to sus-
cribe for his home town paper sent
his little boy to borrow a copy from
a neighbor. In his haste, the boy ran
over a $4 stand of bees and ,in It)
minutes, loked like a warty summer
squash.-
His father ran to his assistance
and, failin gto notice the barbed wire
fence, ran into that, ruining a $5
pair of trousers.
The old cow took advantage of
the gap in the fence, got into the
corn field and killed herself eating
green corn.
Hearing the racket, his wife ran
out, upset a four-gallon churn of
cream into a basket of little chick-
ens, drowning the entire batch. In
her haste, she dropped a $35 set of
false teeth.
The baby, having been left alone,
crawled through the cream into the
parlor, ruining a brand-new $25 car-
pft-
During the excitement, the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man, the dog broke up 11 setting
bens and the calves got out and chew-
ed the tails off four fine shirts on
the clothes line.
Moral: Don't borrow your neigh-
bor's paper; it's too risky.
And now, Dear Reader, if you en-
joy these little visits we have each
week through the columns of your
home town paper, please do some-
thing for me. If you think I know
Texas and Texas folks and that I
iove Texas, then be "a committee of
one" in your community and ask
your friends to vote for Boyce House
for Lieutenant Governor next Satur-
day. Help put House in the State
House. Thank you.

Moody Charges O'Daniel
Vetoes Anti-Sabotage Bill
Austin, Texas, July 20—(Spl.)—
With the interest of the nation now
centered in the trial of Nazi sabo-
teurs, who slipped into America
with explosives and plans for blow-
ing up American War plants, rail-
roads and dams, Senatorial Candidate
Dan Moody today called the atten-
tion of Texas voters to the fact that- ■
W. Lee O'Daniel, when governor,
vetoed an anti-sabotage bill passed
bv the Texas Legislature.
"This is just another instate ?.
how O'Daniel has played tl.e JiC
of obstructionist, and why he should
not be returned to the United States
Senate for a six-year term ,at a time
when our nation is fighting for its
very life," Moody said. |
"The measure, Moody referred to
w as Senate Hill No. 497, which was
passed in the Texas Senate in June,
1941, without a dissenting vote and
was approved by the House 104 to
J. It provided death or prison term
of not less than two years for any-
one convicted of injuring or destroy-
ing a military establishment of any
kind.
Moody said that O'Daniel, then
governro, refused to approve the
measure and returned it to the Sec-
retary of the State with a proclama-
tion in which he stated:
I am opposed to the death pen-
alty and can not conscientiously ap-
prove any bill which carries a pen-
alty of death for its violation."
Moody then asked:
"I wonder what Senator O'Daniel
would think of the death penalty for
the German spies now on trial in
Washington ?"
"I don't know what you may
think," he continued, "but I don't
think any spy or saboteur who gets
caught trying to injure this country
expects anything else but the death
penalty."
Moody added that he heartily ap-
proved Of the death penalty for sab-
oteurs.
"Under the O'Daniel philosophy,"
Moody continued, "an enemy of- this
country might dynamite the great
bomber plant in Texas near Fort
Worth, Idling a hundred or a thous-
and workmen, but O'Daniel would
i.ot give his consent to a law that
would make such a crime punishable
by death."
Moody also continued to call at-
tention to the fact that Senator O-
'Daniel not only voted against ex-
tension of the Selective Service Act
iast August, but has said, in effect,
since his present campaign started,
•hat if he had it to do over again he
would still vote the same way.
"That vote to disband our partial-
ly-trained army, only four months
before the attack on Pearl Harbor,
was a vote against the welfare of
America," Moody said. A German
spy in the United States Senate could
not have done more. Yet O'Daniel
comes back to Texas and says that
he does not regret that vote and has
no apology to make."
