During the past week someone was
just and right. If a majority of Tex-,

manner voted for Mrs. Ferguson for
governor, then this writer graciously
accepts her as the coming chief exe-
cutive. If on the other hand she holds
the big end of the count by means
that are not fair and just, this writer

None of us can afford to be parti-

that any friend of either candidate
can now do u an Individual - out

tional votes may be given for either
candidate.
Argument crimination, recrimina-

for either candidate. But they might

It is beginning to look like a safe

line between the United States and
Europe will be an affair of several
comparatively short hops, routed via
Greenland and Iceland, instead of one
long jump over the “great circle”
course.
Captain Wolfgang von Gronau,
completing his third flight over the
sea, adds one more demonstration to

Greenland-Iceland route.
It is flights like this, rather than
the spectacular non-stop affairs, that
are really helping to bring regular
transatlantic air mail service nearer
to reality. It is hardly going too far
to expect that a very few more years
will see such a service established;

Editor Henry Edwards of the Tyler
Journal, gives some sound and safe
advise which the editor of this paper
is trying to adopt as a creed and
chart of conduct, and we recommend
it to our readers. The statement in
part follows: •<
From statements given out as au-
thoritative by friends of both candi-
dates the prospect looms that even
the State Executive Committee may
not be able to settle the matter.
That means, in the event of failure,
that the contest will go into the
courts—and that means that there is
no telling just how. or-when the con-
test will be finally determined. In
any event there will be more or less
bitterness, rancor and animosity;
for such has always marked very
close contests when the question of
illegal votes and of strict compli-
ance with every feature of the
election laws were brought in. It is
not a happy prospect for Texas just
actly alike, only she usually has the
first think.

The forid’s first telephone girt,
who began work in the old Nassau
exchange in New York on September
21, 1878, lived until a few days ago,
when she passed away at the age of
74. She was Mias Beatrice Kennedy,
who was given a job when a boy in
the exchange was discharged “for
swearing at an angry subscriber ”
So courteous and efficient did Miss
Kennedy prove that girl operators be-
came the rule, as they have remained
until this day.
Working hours were long in 1878,
and Miss Kenedy was on duty daily
from 8 to 6, climbing six flights of
stairs to reach her switchboard. Alex-
ander Graham Bell, inventor of the
telephone, often visited the exchange
and Thomas A. Edison sometimes ac- reauon. me camp lets tnem earn

death, “We didn’t pay so much at- one. They keep the others as long
tention to Mr. Edison, for he wasn’t as they feel that they can do some-
so famous then.” ‘ thing for them.—Exchange.
Many thousands of "Hellb” girls -
have come and gone in the 54 years
since Miss Kennedy became the first.
Taken as a class, no more faithful
employees ever served an exacting
and sometimes unreasonable public.
Many telephone girls have performed
deeds of extraordinary heroism, re-
I ment you can give to the junkman—
One of the most alarming articles
I have read lately was one in a Sep-
tember magazine about the horde of
vagabond children who are on the
roads of these United States today.
from the child bureau of the Depart-,
ment of Labor, says that there are
200,000 such children being “moved
on” from one town to another. These
boys are not bums but unless some- -
thing is done for many of them they
will become bums or criminals.
Investigation has proved that
whereas most boys who left home in
former times were either homeless or
looking for adventure, that such is
not the case today. Most of the boys’
parents are living together but in
many cases the father is either out
of work or makes too little to feed
his entire family and very often bet that the first
pushes the older ones off to find jobs
somewhere else.
They rarely ever find a job and as
each town resents transients, they
are usually fed an insufficient meal,
given a floor to sleep upon and told
to move on. Of course these boys be-
come undernourished, receive no med-
ical care and their morals will in
time give away.
One judge in New Orleans gives
each boy picked up a sentence of
thirty days. He apparently gives no
thought to giving these pathetic chil-
dren jail records.
Los Angeles is the only city which
is trying to do something constructive
for this tragic little army. The boys
are not “moved on” from there, but
are sent to a camp. They do neces-
sary work around the lodge, get
nourishing food, a clean bed and rec-
rest!
