In view of the fact that we

for Moody at Houston.
Why all the ballyhoo over
Governor Moody?
Admitting that the young
man from Williamson County
promises to become one of the
best governors this state has
ever had, it seems that his po-
litical career is a bit too young
to attempt a jump from Austin
to the presidency of the United
States Senate.
A defeat at Houston might
mean his political set-back for
several years and those who
are promoting the vice presi-
dential boom would do well to
bear in mind these things:
That the prosecution of the,
Ku Klux Klan flogging cases
at Georgetown while he was
county attorney of Williamson
County contributed largely to
Moody’s election as attorney
general.
That his state highway de-
partment investigation while
attorney general was the prin-
cipal factor which guaranteed
his success in the gubernator-
ial campaign against Jim Fer-
guson.
These things, together with
his defeat of Ferguson, have
made the "youngest governor”
a popular figure in his own
state Hut thus far there has
been no national issue to test
his popularity outside Texas.
Perhaps he has the ability.
But is the time ripe? Evident-
ly Moody himself doesn’t think
so.
So why all the ballyhoo?
It appears to me that the

point where it is no longer used

Injunctions are equitable
remedies, devised to supplement
the law wherever the latter

supply the relief to which one
of the parties is entitled at

It has been a maxim of equity
from the beginning of Ang)-
Saxon chancellory courts, that
equity is not available as a
remedy where tlier la an ade-
quate remedy at law.
The introduction of the in-
junction, in recentyears, as a
remedy against strikers, is a
new departure which, canted

THERE have been very few
J- elections In American history
in which the voting turned so
largely on personal appeal and
personal fitness as it will in
1928.
One hears very little discus-
sion of problems from a parti-
san standpoint.
So far as the man in the
street is concerned, there is no
Democratic or Republican policy
with regard to flood control,
farm relief, foreign trade, tax
reduction, power regulation and
other important questions.
The talk revolves about
names—Hoover, Dawes, Smith,
Reed, Ritchie and the rest.
What the Democrats or Re-
publicans will do is not meas-
ured by party doctrine, but by
the man they may nominate.

WATER
Editor The Press:
Water in Fort Worth Is be-

tasteful daily.
Last year the city undertook
to clean the trees and shruba
from around the edges of the
lake to eliminate what they ad-
mit is the source of the bad

ment was noted, but after go-
. Ing so far the work wa* drop-
ped and again this year we are
faced with .the same circum-
fiance.

forming on these trees and
bushes cause the bad odor and
taste of the water. Why ean t

the peasants, forming 80 per cent of the population-
