Texas to Grow Industrially
^ probable that there never has been a time when more in-
teiest was shown in archiology; when there were more expe-
ditions out searching the world for knowledge of civilizations that
have gone before.
/ They are digging in Egypt in Asia in Mexico in South Amer-
ica ind in our own United States and everywhere tjjey are find-
ing evidence of great peoples who rose from savagery attained
a' certain stage of civilization and then passed out. In every in-
stance these ancients left temples of worship writings on stone
and certain articles that throw some light on their modes of
living. *'
L On^ impressive development is that the ruins of Mexico and
South America appear to be older than anything found by ex-
cavations in the Old World. Assuming that the scientists are cor-
rfect in their deductions as to the age of these ruins we are about
tp be forced to revise our pre-conceptions and to believe that the
Western Hemisphere instead of Asia was the cradle of mankind.
:i We have long accented the theory that the primitive tribes
of the Americas found their way to America from Asia across
Bering Strait. Even with canoes it would have been possible to
jjjove from island to island across the strait and the theory that
tne Indians of the Western 'World are descendants of the Mon-
golians has been pretty generally accepted.
| But what do we find now? We find pyramids in Mexico more
ancient than those of Egypt; we find ruins older than anything
that has been discovered in the wilds of the Orient. There is
evidence in many places of a high state of civilization 12000 and
14000 years ago—much farther back than any civilization in
Asia<so far revealed by the ruins. And so we wonder if after all.
ife have been wrong in our deductions of how man came to find
the lands of the Western Hemisphere.
• As a matter of fact we know very little about what has gone
before. We are gradually learning and we are doubtless going to
know more when these various expeditions are ready to report.
It may come to pass that curtain after curtain will be lifted giv-
ing us glimpses far into the past—beyond anything thus far
revealed.
r Of one thing we are now certain. There have been many civ-
ilizations—peoples with developed intellectuality—living along
aide the savages .just as there are today. As America Great
Britain France Germany Japan and others have risen above the
savagery about them so in those ancient days there were grades
orf: civilization. In our diggings we have found evidence far back
in the dim and shadowy past of a coherent conception of Deity
knowledge of the building art and means of communication by
writing that prove the ancients not so vastly different from
ourselves.
In the light of what archeology has revealed is it too much
to predict that millenias hence the Wohvorth building the Wash-
ington monument and the Lincoln memorial will be dug out of the
sand and the then living humans will be speculating on what sort
of life was led back in the Twentieth Century?
Digging Up the Past
TEXAS will glow industrially more rapidly than the older in-
dustrial centers G. E. Tripp chairman of the board of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company told Dallas
business men in a speech the other day. It will be on a scale lin-
thought of a generation ago he said.
“More capital will come here which will attract still more cap-
ital until Texas finally will come into her own as a state com-
petely balanced in agriculture and industry” he is quoted as
saying.
“Much of the development will be due to the tendency to build
industries close to the supply of raw material provided fuel and
power are available and Texas has both.”
He pays a high tribute to the j^pirit of Texans by declaring
that they always have been ready to fight anything—“Indians
bandits northers Yankees boll weevil and the cattle tick—and
the result is they have created an empire.”
' Mr. Tripp is right—we have created an empire. All that we
need now to round it .out is to develop such industries as will
thrive. We are rich in raw materials—in cotton wool iron oil
Potash hides to mention a few—and the Middle West and South-
west afford extensive markets. Why shouldn’t we build fac-
tories utilizing our own raw materials and selling to our own
people and if there be a surplus ship through Texas ports to the
markets of the world?
i Texas now has more than five million people and ranks fifth
among the states in population. There is room for 20000000
people and when the state comes into its own it will have such a
population.

NOW WATCH THE “GOOSE-STEP”
STEWARD
WASHINGTON^TWn
LETTER r" '^5?
By CHARLES P. STEW ART I
WASHINGTON.—Chief Justice Taft
of the federal! supreme bench visited
London some time ago to study the
English courts especially their handling
of criminal cases. He was much pleased.
What particularly struck him was that
English judges simply won’t permit de-
lay or be bothered by technicalties. If
a man obviously is guilty of some-
thing thq judge concentrates on find-
ing him so and generally succeeds. Then
I the authorities execute sentence and
that ends it. It's the method we ought
to adopt here Justice Taft said.
• * •
All this is recalled by the recent
hanging in England of Norman Thorne
i convicted of kiling his sweetheart. Elsie
Cameron. The evidence was so purely
circumstantial that even the prosecu-
tion admitted it was impossible to
prove guilt beyond a shadow of doubt.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle led a strong
effort to save the condemned man on
the ground that he was being railroad-
ed. He was hanged neverethless.
“Good work” is the comment heard
in Washington judicial circles. In fact
the impression is so favorable that a
meeting of legal lights is being planned
here for the coming summer to consider
enanges in the federal law which will
make convictions easier to get. Tht
movement’s backers have the English
model in mind i If they can get it
through congress they hope state legis-
latures will see how well it works and
begin imitating it.
Now on the strength of several years
of my bwn observation of “English jus
tice" as a correspondent in London. 1
want to say that it doesn't seem to me
to be all it's cracked up to be. It works
fast and smooTnly but at the expense
of a lot of snap judgments I wouldn’t
like if 1 were on trial on a criminal
j charge. And in this day and genera-
i tion anybody is liable to be.
A notable case in my time in London
was that of Stinie Morrison. There
had been several murders in the White
Chapecl district and no arrests. The
police were beginning to be criticized.
Then there was another murder. Some-
body simply had to be caught. The po-
lice brought in Morrison. He had a
prison record. On that ground the
judge set him down as guilty. But
right in the middle of the trial one of
the constables—it was all police evi-
dence—broke down and confessed the
whole thing wa* a frameup. When ha
broke down more broke down. The
case collapsed. The prosecution threw
up his hands. The judge sentenced him
to death. Even for England that was
too much. There was a howl. Very re-
luctantly the government commuted the
sentence to life imprisonment. Moiri-
son’s doing time y^t I suppose for *
crime there absolutely is no reason tc
think he had a thing to do with.
• * *
The ' English get convictions yes—
because they’re not too particular whom
they convict. It may be true in this
country that -a man actually guilty of
som^ crime finds escape too easy for
the public’s good But in England once
accused of a capital offense he’d bet-
ter make his peace with his Maker
whether guilty or not. Personally I
prefer the ’ American system. 1 may
be charged with something some time
myself.
IT DRIVES OUT WORMS
The surest sign of worms in children
is paleness lack of interest in play fret-
fulness variable appetite picking at the
nose and sudden starting in sleep. When
these symptoms appear it is time to
give White's Cream Vermifuge. A few
doses drives out the worms and puts the
little one on the road to health again.
White’s Cream Vermifuge has a record
of fifty years of successful use.

JAZZ MAD ROLE IN
DITTMANN PICTURE
- I
The effect of modern -fast living"
is realistically porttayed in three dis- *
tinct ways in the William Fox produc-
tion "Wings of Youth which comes to
the Dittmann Theatre for a two day en-
gagement today.
Madge Bellamy judged by prominent
artists as "the most beautiful girl in
the world" contributes a jazz-mad
flapper delineation that will win new’
honors for her. Marian Harlan pre-
sents a sophisticated young girl living
beyond her years—a portrayal that is
vividly striking. Katherine Perry of-
fers a more subdued miss long in awak-
ening to the call of the tom-toms and
blaring saxophones; but once aroused
she swings into the whirl with greater
impetus than two more happy-go-lucky
sisters. "Wings of Youth" reveals the
quest of the three sisters for pleasure
among the bright lights of fashionable
society and the final realization of their
folly. Emmett Flynn director of "The
Man Who Came Back" and "The Con-
necticut Yankee" directed "Wings of
Youth."
SENTENCE REVERSED

Fort Worth for the murder of the baby
was the reversed and remanded for hew
trial today by the court of criminal ap-

GATES SOON TO
AMERICAN BOYS
42 C. M. J. C.’s Will Be
Maintained; Expect
50000 Youths of Na-
tion to Enroll
NEW YORK. May 7.—With the 1925
Citizens Military Training Camps still
three months away more than 25 per
cent of the estimated quota attendance
of 50000 young men between the ages
of 17 and 31 already has been enrolled
according to announcement by the war
department. This is double the enroll-
ment at this time last year and this
summer’s quota will be 16000 more than
that of 1924.
Forty-two camps stretchng across the
contnent from Fort McKnley Me. to
the Presidio of San Francisco will be
opened this summer for the basic course
and the three advanced courses in which
citizenship and physical training will
he intermingled in the schedules with
drill and instruction in the infantry cav-
alry field and coast artillery engineers
and signal corps branches of the mili-
tary. Part of the camps run during the
month of July~ond others during August
while Plattsburg. N. Y. will have two
camps in succession.
No Expense*
The C. M. T. C. candidate is under j
no obligations except to spend 30 days
of his time at one of the camps located
near his home; the government meets
the expense of carfare to and from the
camp clothing equipment meals bed-
ding lodging and entertainment. The
president’s son or the millionaire’s heir
who sleeps by the side of the farmer’s
boy marches beside him in the ranks
and eats next to him at the mess hall in
this annual democratic leveller pays
the same amount for his 30 days’ vaca-
t'on and training exactly nothing.
The Sixth Army Corps area so far
leads among the nine areas in which
the nation is divided by the war depart-
ment for purposes of military adminis-
tration. Fifty per cent of this section’s
quota of 5600 already has been filled.
It includes the states of Illinois Michi-
gan and Wisconsin. Next is the Fifth
Corps area including Ohio Indiana
Kentucky and West Virginia with 38.4
per pent of a quota ofvdiOOO. Third is
the Fourth Coips area including the
southeastern states with 36.6 per cent
of a quota of 5700.
Aid to Health
Big business has realized according
to thousands of letters received by the
officials in charge of the 1925 camps
that the youth who returns from the
camp is more valuable to them than
the young man who spent his vacation
in some other way. His step is firmer
his eye cleaier his shoulders squarer
and his chest deeper and he has a high-
er sense of co-operation and reaction to
discipline than before.
Health and physical culture exports
throughout the country have watched
carefully the physical training of these
thousands of youths for the piciimi-
nary medical examintations have shown
that the young man today is no better
physically than was his older brother
of 1917 or 1918 when the seclusive draft
examinations showed that 50 per cent of
the youth of the nation was unfit for
war service. Many of the young men
with slight physical defects that are
not organic but who would he unable
to pass the physical tests for the regu-
lar army arc allowed to enter the
camps. Thop are placed in special de-
velopment companies and by careful
feeding special exercises proper sleep
periods and other measures such de-
fects as incorrect postures curvature
of the spine malnutrition flat feet un-
der-development of the chest and lungs
are cured in 30 days.
LIQUOR LAW CHARGE
Telesfero Lopez was placed in the
county jail yesterday and is charged
with violation of the Dean liquor law
The man was arrested by Deputy
Sheriffs Roy Collins and Pete Gann
and is charged with having three bot-
tles of tequila and six bottles of mesca|
in his possession at the time of bis ar-
rest. /
