And Sometimes Even Thee
Hollywood, the city of bright lights and beauti-
ful "babes," is secondarily noted for a group of
militant liberals—most of whom are connected in
some capacity with the cinema industry. Such
writers as Clifford Odets and Dorothy Parker lean
definitely towards leftist policies;, and make no
bones about their attitude in regard to the Span-
ish war. Japan's attack on China, and Hitler's
entire blustering, paranoiac policy
Twice before, these cosmopolites have admin-
• ter -I stinging social rebukes to Fascist or semi-
fascist dignitaries. Vittorio Mussolini, son of 11
Du ■ , r. p"Ne'lly found the California climate en
'iivi;. to eh;ijy for his Latin blood. It seemed that
thest queer denizens of movie-land did not approve
ol several of Vittorio's choice utterances in his
be k. "Wings Ovei AmU'," a saga of the Ethiopian
in aiders.
A little later last Spring, the Duke und Duchess
of Winds-: were warned by close friend- not to
vi-it th> celluloid city. Those on the inside stated
that Hollywood liberal.1 did not approve of several
of V utdsor's close friends, referring mainly to
Charle> B iaux, the stretch-out king.
A third incid< nt has recently been added to this
list. Leni Rofienstahl. German actress and reputed-
ly one of Der Fuehrer's secret girl friends, came
west te study film conditions. According to report
she did not receive much practical information
regarding the making of movies in this country, but
she did gain a practical education concerning the
attitude of many persons in this country toward
Naz -m and its discipks. Leni was quite puzzled
over ;he "queer" demeanor manifested toward her,
and returned home, greatly incensed. No doubt
the incident -as usual—will be blamed on those
ins .dious enemies of mankind, "The Jews." Every-
one knows that several Hollywood big shots are
doubtlessly of Semetic origin, and therefore, Adolf,
you can see what happened
When a reporter asked Leni if the treatment
she received w^uld not correspond to what a Jew-
ish-American producer might expect in Germany,
she flew into a rage, and naively told him that he
was "a very bad man."
Although Miss Rcflenstah! may be a fine woman,
and entirely innocent of any of the blood that rests
upon Nazi heads, she undoubtedly is a Hitler dis-
ciple. Shi has swallowed all the sophistry about race
superiority and herrenstAat principle, and this in
itself disqualifies her from harmonious conversa-
tion with a liberal-minded American citizen. It is
rather embarrassing to have a guest inform you
that because you are not a "pure Aryan" she feels
so Horry for you. Or, "How we pity you people in
America, living under a clumsy, stilted democracy.
Now in Germany we do things efficiently."
We admire Hollywood for its stand; it is en-
tirely compatible with that taken by our President.
If all the peoples in the world, standing for humani-
tarian i*m and the doctrines of Christ, would ex-
hibit such a front, Germany might discover that
the so-called "queer" attitude of certain liberals is
really quite the general one.

And legal killing is a- truly slaying a
by illegal methods.
Opponents of Mr. O'Dantel's lenient policy
shout loudly, first, that capital punishment is a
threat that keeps many potential murderets from
committing homicide, and second, that murderers
are menaces to society who should be exurminated
before they have a chance to kill awain
If Governor O'Daniel should de.ci to -loop b<
low his self-appointed position as cinef Bible in
lerpreter of Texas, he could give some very sound
answers to these arguments.
In rebuttal he could point out that most murders
are committed by two classes of people those
who slay when so insanely a.ng,\ that n ■ amount
or reasoning would hold their ham), and those who
kill while thinking they are - diver that they will
never be caught The death penalty or the lack of
it has no effect on these people
Mr. O'Daniel might also say that Texas has some
nice quiet jails that will keep kilk-is just about as
permanently out of circulation as a trip to the
other world.

Printed on the front page of tin Chat is an article
clipped from the New York Journal in which the
author describes the doings of our Hideout twins
with more imagination than respect for the truth
We won't quibble over the author's remarks directed
at the unimportance if Denton and Teachers Col
lege, but he made one statement which shows that
he knows nothing about thi Hideouts
The authoi outlined a facetious method of dis-
tinguishing between the boys whereby one poke-
his tinger in Wayne's eye. If it be Wayne that you
have thus accosted, he will say. "Ouch." Blaine,
according to the writer, will use str, nget languag<
Actually neither twin would respond harshly to
such treatment. It has been my experience that
the twins are too mannerly to protest even such
an ill-mannered stunt as a iw-ke in the eye. I remem-
ber an incident that points out quite clearl> just
how well-bred the twirls are. I was standing at the
edge of the cinderpath when one of the boys passed
a competitor. "Excuse me," said Rideout apologeti
cally--and he really meant it.

After running their horses for
about a mile, Sul Ross ami Lieu-
tenant Tom Kcllibeir (this spell-
ing of the name is used in Dc
Shu-Ms' book), overtook Cynthia's
horse Ross was in the act of
shooting at Cynthia Ann, when
-he held up her child and stopped.
Kelliheir also stopped, while Ross
rode after Nocona. Ross's memoirs.
> quoted by Dc Shields, give the
following vivid account of what
happened next:
"I kept on after the chief,"
writes Ross, "and about a half
mile further, when in about twenty
yards of him I fired my pistol,

to lie a man. as she rode like <>nc.

killing her instantly, ami the same
ball would have killed both but
for the shield of the chief, which
hung down, covering his back.
When the girl fell from the horse
she pulled him off also, but he
caught on his feet, nnd before
steadying himself, my hor a, run
nini_- at full speed, was very nearly
on top of him, when he was struck
with an arrow, which caused him
to fall to 'bucking.' and it was

song. At this time my Mexican
servant, who had once been a cap

their language as fluently ris his
mother tongue, came up, in com
pnny with two of my men I then
summoned the chief t, surrender,
but he promptly treated every
overture with contempt, and sig-
nalized this declaration with a sav-

lance which he held in his left
hand. I could only look upon him
with pity and admiration For,
deplorable as was his situation,
with no chance of escape, his par-

was the lost Cynthia Ann. After
plating her in the charge of Mrs
Evans, wife of the commandant at
Fort Cooper, he dispatched a mes-
senger to her uncle, Isaac Parker,
who came immediately to the Fort.
But Cynthia Ann remembered
not one word of English, and had
no idea whatsoever a<- to her real
identity. Despairing of proving that
the woman was hU niece, Colonel
Parker was about to leave, when
he said. "The name of my niece
was Cynthia Ann." Thi' sound of
the once familiar name awoke
some buried memory, and patting
her breast, sht said, "Cynthia Ann!
Cynthia Ann!"
It was in reality Cynthia Ann
Parker. But it was also still Pre-

ed an Indian in spirit for a long
time and sought every opportunity
to escape Taken to the secession
convention at Austin, she became
greatly alarmed, thinking that the
assemblage was a council of chiefs
sitting in judgement on her life.
During the Civil War she learned
to spin, weave, and perform house-
hold duties, but she Mill cherished
the hope that when the war was
over she could find her two sons
who were still with the Indians
