Friends of the Governor and for-
mer Governor James E, Ferguson are
raising a fund to purchase a lot in
Enfield to present to the first woman
governor of Texas when she retires.
Attaches in the governor’s office say
that the governor will not resign
shortly before the inauguration of
Governor-elect ban Moody, who
bitterly fought the woman governor
in the democratic primaries, but that
.the governor will be here to welcome
the incoming Governor.
It was reported several times that
Mrs. Ferguson would resign a few
days before the inauguration, to pre-
vent possible embarrassment pf at-
tending the inauguration of a man
who defeated her for a second term,
but indications are that the Governor
will go through the customary per-
formance of welcoming an incoming
chief executive, fy

AMERICANS AND MONEY
Mr. G. K. Chesterton, the urbane
and highly intellectual Will Rogers
of modern English essayists. Has
been saying some true aqd interesting
things about America. “Of all the
lies,” says G. K. C., “the wffi-st lie-
is that the American worships money.
An American never talks of mo’ney
in the hushed and awestruck tone
that an Englishman employs in refer*
ring Jo financial matters.”
Excellent! It might have seemed in
ill taateJud-an- American
si#■ft. But
when an American ha3 listened ail
summer to courteous Englishmen de-
plore the “materialism” and the al-
leged money-loving propensities of
the Americans; and when an Amer-
ican has heard the French ^nd Bel-
gians and Italians and Germans say
the same thing, his large international
DON’T BE A MISFIT
There are plenty of misfits in this
world. Men. who would have made
good mechanics; have become poor
clerks; men who would have made a
success as farmers are struggling
along as lawyers with a few clients
and little income; men who might
have been good salesmen are sitting
in offices with a physician’s shinglfe
on the door, waiting for patients
who never come. In fact, every-, trade

able to do good work somewhere else.
It.is a pity we can’t adopt the mer-
chant’s plan and take all the misfits
of business life and place them where
they will do real good,’, but as this
cannot be 'dope, we urge every boy
and young man, starting out in life.

Some folks will tell you that every
trade and profession is crowded. So
it is, but the crowd is at the bottom
of the ladder and not at the top.-The
men who lead in every walk of life,
are the men who love their work, not
the men who have chosen that work
because it was considered more re-
spectahle* -than other vocations.
Misfits are always unhappy, always
growling at the fate that keeps them
down. The man who loves the work
he has chosen is contented* with his
lot, although ambitiotis for greater
things. The man who fits will rise,
while the misfit* will hover around
the bottom rungs of the ladder of
success. Don’t be a misfit..—Ex.

“While r do not say Collier was
free from blame, I do not believe he
is a criminal,” the governor said. She
pointed out that Collier had been
severely punished by the loss of his
position as mayor and by loss of
standing.
Gov^np* Ferguson about a month
ago pardoned Mrs. Frank Collier, sen-
tenced to ten years from Haskell
county for murder in connection with
the killing of EHzie Robertson. Collier
was sentenced to Jfiree years Tor
manslaughter in connection with the
fense.
The killing of Robertson grew out
of the opposition of the Colliers to
the marriage of Robertson to thbir.

vestigating committee, predicted Gov-
