Ferguson and His Court Appeal
It is said there is a chance that the supreme court
proper will decide the mandamus case of Thomas E i
Lore on May 7. regular court day as the tribunal
passed up its regular session day for the closing week
of April. As for Jas. E. Ferguson his case has been
set for May 8. and a special supreme court will de-
cide his case.
It Is announced that the special court will not be
concerned with the political tests in the Ferguson
case as the former governor has met those but will
decide whether the amnesty act was constitutional
and If It is valid whether its repeal deprived Fer-
. guson of political rights restored while the law was
in effect
As for Love he demands his name shall go on the
ballot for governor although he is unable to qualify
under the state committee qualification test. He
bolted in 1926. He bolted In 1928. and he promises
to bolt again in 1930 and again in 1932 unless the
democratic nominees for governor and president are
given a sweeping endorsement by his conscience.
There is no pep in the campaign at the present
time. All the candidates all the practical politicians
nnd a vast majority of the qualified voters arc await-
ing the action of the iupreme court in the Ferguson
and the Love cases.
Steam Rails Taking Over Bus
Lines
Lest we forget the Missouri Pacific Transportation i
eomnanv was organized to meet motorbus and truck
competition and is already operating a pick-up and
delivery service on routes parallelling the Missouri
Pacific Lines between Texarkana and Palestine. It j
has been granted like authority between San An- I
tonlo and Laredo. Furthermore Its officials areI
ready to extend the service over the entire route of
the Missouri Pacific lines in Texas and extend it Into
Mexico as far as Monterrey. An order issued by the
railroad commission effecth’e May 1. recognizes the
Missouri Pacific Transportation company as a com-
mon carrier express company and as such it is au-
thorized. in connection with the transportation of
intra-state freight express traffic between points along
authorized routes to observe and apply the rates
rules and regulations prescribed by the Texas rail-
road commission Self preservation is said to be the
first of nature and the rail companies know how to j
play the game.
Ruthi Hanna McCormick Tapped
A Barrell
Ruth Hanna McCormick tapped a barrel in her
campaign for a senatorial nomination in Illinois. It
was a barrel of coin and out of the barrel rolled
250.000 silver dollars. Senator Charles S. Deneen
tapped a small keg. and out of the keg rolled 25.000 :
silver dollars.
It was a ten for one dollar shot on the part of j
Ruth.
A quarter of a million dollars is a fancy price to pay
for a primary senatorial nomination. Vare of Penn- j
sylvania was shut out for extravagant or lavish j
nse of money in a primary campaign.
Political equality is the order of the day. Sex ha?: '
nothing to do with the case. If William of Penn- j
sylvania was shut out for illegal use of coin in elec- j
tions why not a shut-out for Ruth of Illinois?
THE LONDON PARLEY SUBMARINE SKIPPER
(Copyright 1930 by The Associated Newspapers.)
(After Captain Reece of the Bab Ballads >
Of all the sybs upon the blue.
No one was kinder through and through
Than that old worthy Captain Reece
A gentleman in war or peace.
He was adored by all his crew
And by all other sailors too
For not a sinking he'd abet
Without the proper etiquette.
Whene'er he'd sight a stack or sail
He’d say “Let kindliness prevail
And be so gentle and so sweet
They’ll take the sinking as a treat."
He never gave a signal gruff
An order harsh or rude or rough;
He treated ships respectfully
And emphasized civility.
“Whene'er a ship is sighted we
Will act” he said “quite graciously
And never never never let
An act be done that we'd regret.
"We’ll say Tt is a bitter cup
To feel we have to blow you up;
And when we sink you as we must
You will not mind it much we trust.
When passengers seemed dull and sad
The captain danced to them like mad
And told to make the time pass by.
Droll legends of his infancy.
If it was cold in open boats
He'd give the neutrals overcoats.
Warm slippers and hot-water can
To ev'ry lady boy and man.
If they with thirst did seem to burn
He d serve cold beer at ev'ry turn.
And on all very sultry days
Cream ices handed round on trays.
Then currant wine and whisky slings
And hand-initialed water-wings.
A book to suit each person’s mind
And pink pajamas rubber-lined.
Kind-hearted Captain Reece. R. N
Loved women children also men;
In point of fact good Captain Reece
M&de war seem better far. than peace
One evening as he sunk a ship
He said as tears rolled drip. drip drip
“Come tell me. please what I can do
To please the passengers and crew?
“By any reasonable plan
I'll make you happy as I can;
My own convenience counts as ml.
It is my duty and I will.”
Then up and answered Captain Shoate.
The skipper of the neutral boat;
A nervous shy low-spoken man.
He cleared his throat and thus began:
• We feel as passengers and crew
We re lucky to be sunk by you;
You're gracious kindly gentle good
And you would spare us If you could.
‘•We have then Just one thing to ask
It represents a simple task:
To satisfy a little whim.
Oh. Captain teach us how to swim!’’
Good Captain Reece that worthy man.
F.mbraced the speaker and his plan;
“I quite agree.” he said. “Oh. Bill.
It Is my duty and I will.”
So leaping from his fish-like boat.
He taught them how to swim and float;
It only took a month or so.
And to their thanks he said. “No! No!’’
Then ere the crew could fire a shot
He ordered. ‘‘Hold! I guess we'll not.'*
And sailing on across the seas
He smiled and said “Excuse it. please!”

CHAPTER 53
Going down town in the taxi later
after all their plans had been made
Suwanee remembered that Elanda
had said not one word about her
own trouble. She seemed to have
completely forgotten that Greg Du
Pont had anything to do with all
this.
He disliked bringing the subject
up. Finally Suwanee asked her:
Elanda. since you have taken me
in on this may I get personal with
you and ask you a question?”
"You know ycu can Suwanee
anything."
It was hard for him to go on.
"What are you gong to do about
Greg? You aren't going to marry
him despite all this are you?”
"Oh no! I never want to see him
again. It was just as though he had
never meant anything to me. Isn’t
it strange?”
“It is fortunate” Suwanee smiled
in the darkness. “I’m happy it isn’t
going to break your heart.”
“I—I never cared for him—that
way’ she told him then in a meek
little voice. "It isn't a nice thing to
admit but you know so much about
how mean I can be now that it does
not make so much difference what I
tell you I became engaged to him
because I knew it would burn Carmel
up. I've been miserable ever since.”
"It wasn't his money then?”
Elanda admitted reluctantly:
“It was at first—before I got en-
gaged to him. I thought I had to
know people like that in New York
to get some place. Oh. let's not talk
about it now!”
“All right w-e shan't Elanda. But
how are you going to let Greg know
that you know all about this? Write
him a note?”
“I—I don't know. I feel as though
I'd w'ant to kill him if I saw him
again. The rotter!”
Suwanee had been enjoying pretty
much the same feelings. The two
were nearing the apartment when he
suggested quietly:
“I think I better handle this for
you too Elanda. Will you trust me
to convey the sad news to Gregory
Du Pont the third that he is no
longer your future husband?”
Elanda felt so happy to be relieved
of ihe job that it did not seem
strange to her at all. She cried joy-
ously.
"Oh Suwanee would you? Do
you want his diamond too?”
"If you want me to return it.”
Elanda wal like a little child plac-
ing her trust into the hands of a
kind old lather. Even the seriousness
of the situation could not keep Su-
wanee from grinning to himself.
He had a particular reason for de-
siring to meet Greg Du Pont and
have a few private words with him
He had no intention however of
telling Elanda why.
As they drew- up in front of the
apartment Elanda lost her nerve.
“Oh. Suwanee. I can't go in and
face Dixie and Bang! I'll act funny.
I know I will! YoYu go in first—as
though you were making a call. I'll
come in a minute and they'll think
I've been to a movie o something.
I'll tell them I have.”
ILt wasn't going to be so easy for
Suwanee to play the game of friend-
liness toward Dixie and act toward
both Bang and her as though noth-
ing had occurred. Still there was
nothing for him to do but consent.
He went in ahead of Elanda. It was
only a few minutes alter ten.
Bang opened the door. His face
lit with welcome.
"Come on in. Suwanee! We have-
n't seen you in a week.”
Suwanee looked at his happy al-
most homely face and was shaken
with a wave of sympathy. Poor
naive old Bang! Dixie came out of
the bedroom. There were deep cir-
cles under he yes and he thought
che looked worried.
"Hello Suwanee.” she seemed
nervous he thought. “Have you
seen anything of Elanda this eve-
ning?”
"I haven't been to the studio.” he
evaded.
Dixie sat down unhappily.
"I'm so worried about her! She
hasn't been home all evening. Her
hat is here—the one she wore this
morning. I can't imagine where she
has gone!”
Bang reassured hex
"Now don't worry. Dixie. Elanda's
no baby. Shell take care of her-
self.”
Dixie gave him a despairing look
that mystified Suwanee. She cer-
tainly didn't act as if she were a
woman about to deceive her best
friend and wreck her home.
Just then Elanda came in. Dixie
looked so relieved that Suwanee
could not take his eyes off her.
•Elanda! Where have you been?
We thought you’d Jumped in the
ocean. Your hat is here too. Where
did you go?"
“Just up to the corner to the
movies. It was too hot for a hat.”
Suwanee watched the two girls
and their strained faces. Then he
thought he saw the Yght! Dixie
had heard Elanda go r ft t. She fear-
ed she had heard Aer phoning
Greg. That would account for her
nervousness and her worry about
where Elanda had been.
The air seemed to be electrified.
Elanda looked pale and wan and
Dixie seemed cornered. Bang was
the only one who seemed to have
kept his equilibrium. Poor Bang! He
didn’t know how near to smashing
on the rocks his happiness was.
Suwanee asked to see Andree. He
tip-toed in and stood beside her
little bed. She was a cherub sleep-
ing with her little pale face rest-
ing on her hand and her little curls
escaping daintily around her face.
Elanda's plan did not seem so
wild to him then. Surely any moth-
er would be frantic to lose a baby
like Andree. The kidnaping scheme
might save them all. When he went
back in the living room Dixie was
reading and Elanda had turned on
the radio.
Suddenly Bang laughed it seem-
ed a little shakily.
"What's the matter with all of
us tonight? Everybody's so quiet.
There’s only one thing to do in a
case like that. It may never hap-
pen again. I say we play a rubber
of bridge—silent bridge for a
change.-’
Everybody jumped at the idea. It
was a life saver.
Bane laughed again at Dixie.
“This is the first time you’ve ever
been quiet in your life—and it may
be the last. Maybe you can learn
something about bridge tonight”
“I've had a headache all day”
Dixie smiled feebly.
"I’ve had the blues.” Elanda add-
ed. feeling it was time she had to
say something.
It was a strange foursome that
sat and played me.’hanically in al-
most absolute silence.

NEW YORK May 6.-The night I
life of this cosmopolitan island is ^
not reserved for Broadway or Har- i
lem or any other limited area.
Practically every nation that has
sent its sons and daughters to New
York has some form of night club
or play place. And in many of these
the light burn lar longer and later
than they do in the giddy gulch.
Thus for instance there is a
spot where Arabs Rather and where
few slummers ever crot* the door-
way. and these enter only when ac-
companied by one who bcfongs to
the inner circles. Guests do not
gather until about three in the
morning an hour when Broadway
resorts are closing their doors for
the night. Not only is their native
food served but Arabian dancing
girls are on hand to remind the
patrons of their homeland. The
music is of the desert.
There is another also of Arabic
tone where the younger generation
who attend college and have learned
to carry hip flasks gather. The
proprietor who holds to the dis-
cipline of the homeland has be-
come disgusted at the whoopee
raised at one time or another by
the transplanted youths He has
threatened to allow no more col-
legiate lads and lassies in his resort.
Yet there are sober ones who. in
this atmosphere of Orientalism sit
for hours and discuss Freud the
philosophies and the poets.

The East Side is a veritable
hodge-podge of assorted night-
going places. Some have never lost
their neighborhood and native fla-
vor. Others have been uncovered by
the uptownors and have so prosper-
ed that bright lights bum in front
of their entrances tricky awnines
rover the sidewalks to protect the

While the Second avenue night
spots are open to everyone who may
pass by the Hungarians. Bavarians.
Yiddish Slavic Rumanians. Greeks
and such have many intimate ren-
dezvous on the side streets where
one encounters only the "regulars
Greek coffee houses in the mid-
town section many of which clut-

come to life well after midnight.
Well into the morning the signs
and tokens of merriment are ob-
vious to any passerby in the street.
The discordant wails of a violin

BY THE POLITICAL ANALYST
AUSTIN. May 6 —After a week of
seeming uncertainty while friends
of R S. Sterling talked hopefully
of politics. Gov. ban Moody now ts
writ mg his own platform for a new-
term race.
When it will be launched in the
campaign puddle has not been dis-
closed.
Gov. Moody has collected reams
of statistics on taxation and prison
affairs. He has now gone beyond
that and brought together material
dealing with politics party plat-
form planks and dominant political
issues. And records of “unfinished
business’’ before the voters as well
It appears obvious that out of these
materials his new campaign doc-
ument is taking form. If not already
on paper it is in tangible form in
his mind and at least partly writ-
ten in tentative form.
• • •
His “economic policy* statement
late in the week indicated i!n im-
portant trend in the formal an-
nouncement. when made.
That is that Gov. Moody's pur-
pose will be an encompassing reach
to harmonize the repentent bolters
on one side of the resentful regulars
on the other under the common
banner of party harmony.
Meantime. Mr. Sterling's boom
“revival" has not been permitted to
become alive
• • •
Besides his reach to widely-scat-
'tered elements of democracy. Gov.
Moody apparently is cutting square-
ly through some of the platform
structures of announced candidates.
This undercuts particularly Jim
Young of Kaufman. It undermines
to some extent the appeal of “anti’’
candidates: ard out in the strongly
Hooverized western country it seems
to rip into any appeal to th£ old
bolter instinct.
It preetty much takes away the

By the party regulars whom he
would fortify in the democratic
stronghold is meant those whom
Gov. Moody defended in his econ-
omic policy statement as having
been criticized for sticking by the
national party nominees.
"The practice of denouncing
Democrats because they voted the
ticket and supported their party is
entirely unworthy and it should
cease.” he said.
• • •
Party harmony went on the rocks
in 1928 when Alfred E Smiths
nomination was foreseen despite
efforts of the "Harmony Democrats”
who rallied to the govetrnor in trying
to keep the party in Texas both dry
and regular.
Gov. Moody’s new statement ask-
me both sides to burv the hatchet
and asking the partv to invite back
all those voters and candidates
alike who are willing to support the
party was recogniTsed as the most
direct and pointed step since the
..~.I. ..——
1928 split to restore unity and re-
build Texas Democratic prestige.

“When some Democrats are busy
fighting other Democ ts over the
issues of the last national campaign
a situation ts created which does
not help solve state economic pro-
blems; but it give* those of evil
design an opportunity for a field
day at the expense of the public
good” Gov. Moody said.
