KIDNAPING BIG BUSINESS
The Edward Bremer kidnaping a year ago when a
ransom of 6200.000 was paid at last has been solved
with the arrest of John J. McLaughlin and 10 oth-
ers who are alleged to have planned and conducted
the kidnaping that attracted as much publicity at
the time as the Urschel case. ’Boss’’ McLaughlin,
as lie is known, was reported to be connected with
gambling interests, but until 653,000 of the ransom
money was found in his possession. there was no
suspicion that he was Involved in such a serious
activity as kidnaping.
This crime has become a big business, especially
when tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars
are involved It wouldn’t be surprising to find that
other prominent individuals who make their living
on the border Une. of criminality have beep, respon-
sible in a measure for the increase of kidnaping.

Contemporary Thought
REACTION
The country cannot always depend upon the gov-
ernment.
Some of the policies of’the new deal already are
at -the crisis. More criticism is evident. Some mis-
takes have been admitted by national leaders.
But out of the uncertainties and accomplishments,
there is emerging a realization that much must be
done individually before normal conditions are at-
tained. One evidence of this is the formation of St.
Joseph Forward Association organized at St Joseph,
Mo., and setting a new economic fashion for Ameri-
can communities. It grows out of the belief that it
is the first duty of every community to utilize its own
resources to bring about its own recovery and’ that
economic recovery, if it is to be sound and endur-
ing, must come from within
No individual who depends entirely upon outside
sources of help and inspiration ever accomplishes a
permanent improvement in his character or capacity.
And so it is with communities. The very conscious-
ness of dependency upon outside sources of help is
a deterrent to sound achievement. A community
which does not assert Its own power over the devel-
opment of, its resources never rise to the level of
masterhood In dealing with its economic problems—
it never acquires that vitality, that spirit, so essen-
tial to social and economic success. •
St Joseph might not come nearer reaching the
goal than the government has done, but the spirit
of individual responsibility remains. In that is the
nation’s hope. In such a spirit is an individual’s
hope, aan Angelo Standard,

REFUNDING ROAD BONDS
The experience of the state in making partial pay-
ments on the interest and sinking funds of county
and road district bonds devoted to the construction I
- of state highways might prove to be a good invest-
ment in the long run, according to Alonzo Wasson,
who writes in the Dallas News concerning the facts
that have been learned in handling payment on
these bonds. Nr. Wasson believes that at least two
proposals growing out of this experience win be
submitted to the next "Legislature.
One of these would provide for the refunding of
the county and road district bonds with State bonds,
so as to make a considerable saving in interest rates,
a move which would require a constitutional amend-
ment. and the other would be to set up a State agen-
cy to supervise the issuance of bonds by counties,
districts and municipalities. and to manage sinking
funds created to pay these bonds
During the last score of years. Texas governmen-
tal units have been profligate in issuing bonds for
any and all purposes There has been no uniform-
ity in interest rates and UtUe chick on the amount
issued. These conditions, in part, are the explana-
tion of why some Texas issues are selling at par,
- while others are available at a considerable dns-
count --tuL ™.’
A good portion of the road bonds issued by coun-
ties .and districts will be paid eventually by the di-
version of a quarter of the money received from the
State gasoline tax, and U some method can be de-
vised to bring some order out of the present jumble
of bond issues, and to hold a UtUe nrmer check on
the issuance of bonds in the future, real savings will
accrue to the taxpayers who must foot the bills

Denton County authorities reiter-

in connection with the robbery of
the Lewisville bank, regardless of
the outcome of the Dallas trial. We
believe they are right in their con-
tention. One who violates a law
should be made to answer in the
county where the crime was com-
mitted, even though he may be ac-
cused, and perhaps convicted, of
crimes in other counties. The de-
termination of local law enforce-
ment officers to see that not even
a notorious desperado can come ’ to

have a wholesome effect in protect-

Says the CUftoi) Record:
By GEORGE TUCKER
NEW YORK—Often men with little time of their
own zoom through life with scarcely a shifting of
gear*. but when a few moments of idleness do come
their way, almost invariably they manifest some pe-
culiarity which throws an entirely different light on
their personality.
George Arliss, for instance, will wander around
like an absent-minded professor if he has nothing
to do, and nine times out of ten will wind up in
some remote little book shop, browsing through the
shelves and chatting with the proprtetor. They have
an irresistible influence over him and to pass one
by without pausing a few moments is not to be
thought of.
I once had to interview Arliss for a paper in the
middle west He had just arrived in town, but I was
in no great hurry to go to his hotel, as his advance
man had told me the actor enjoyed an afternoon
snooze before greeting the press. Pinally I arrived
and to my chagrin learned that he had left the
hotel within fifteen minutes of registering. As my
deadline was scareely an hour away I lost no time
in tracking him down He was sitting in the rear
of a UtUe book shop, eating an apple, thumbing the
pages of Tate’s "Andrew Jackson” and discussing
American politics with the manager of the shop
Another Glimpse
I ran into Arliss again the other day. He was
mosying down Sixth avenue as if he had until the
end of time to get where he was going. I was 30 or
40 feet behind him but there is no mistaking George
Arliss if you have once seen him On the avenue
there is a second-hand book store, dealing in old
volume* at 5, 10 and 25 cent* each. Most of the stock
is dribble, sheer tripe, yet now and then a bargain
is to be found. This shop drew Arliss as a magnet
the needle.
Without appearing to see it he veered to the win-
dow. paused, his keen eyes taking in every title on
display Leaning on his umbrella—have you ever
seen an Englishman without an umbrella?—be con-
sumed ten minutes without moving.
Finally a bootblack came up I’ll shine yer shoes
for a nickel, muter.” declared the young hopeful.
To my surprise the actor acquiesced. And so like
thee or me the great man stood first on one foot,
then on the other, there in the shabbiness of Sixth
avenue, and had his boots blackened Then he am-
bled away, merriment swimming in each eye. But
then George Arlias could not have felt otherwise It
was April and he was going home to England.
Foibles of Famous

his bouts, wondering if they need repainting, spec-

The last bloody shirt waved between North and
South will be burled May 18 in the Capitol Rotunda
by congressional ceremonies to accept statues of
Washington and Lee for Statuary Hall from the
state of Virginia.
Twenty-five years ago. Judge Don P Halsey—a
brother of Secretary of the Senate Edwin A. Halsey
—proposed in the Virginia legislature that his state
contribute the Confederate commander to the Cap-
itol’s Hall of Fame.
O’ A. R. camps around the country protested that
no rebel* should be allowed in. So Halsey prepared
a new resolution calling for statues of Lee and
Washington, each state being allowed two entrtes.
The statues were made and placed in the hall, but
on account of the undercurrent of feeling about Lee
there were no acceptance ceremonies (Jefferson Da-
vis, Joe Wheeler, and Alexander Stephens have since
joined Lee here.)
WASHINGTON—President Roosevelt’s politfcal
generals are telling him that his administration will
have _ more strength in the next Senate than any
president has had since the first session under
George Washington, which was nonpartisan.
On the other hand, the generals think the big

them be persuaded otherwise.

J08TIN, May 10—The adult
home-making class closed this term
with a dinner for the husbands
and sons of the class members.
The following were present: J. L.
of the finest oat crops known in
a number of years; and with
fayorable conditions until after
harvest there should be plenty
of feed and some to sell. The
corn crop, though a little late
in getting started because of
excessive rains, is now growing
off nicely. Some cotton is up,
—but very little as most farmera _
do not plant cotton until in
May.”
There is nearly always something
encouraging while crops are grow-
ing. and although it is well known
that vegetation can at times prom-
ise more and produce less, or vice
versa, there is hope in this section
for at east a reasonable production
of most of the principal crops. The
best season in years is now in the
ground, and the majority of the
crops are off to a pretty good start.
Continued rain may hamper culti-
vation and possibly reduce the yield,
but we are in better position with
too much rain than are some sec-
tions which are suffering from pro-
longed drouth. And with the income
that is assured from the govern-
ment for rental on lapd taken out
of production the farmer has rea-
son to vision a pretty good outlook
for the year.
