OLD MAGIC FAILING
Texas magic is failing that old political
past master this time, surveys indicate. The
man who swept Texas in the four year span
from 1938 to 1942 apparently is finding that
the Lone Star state has grown away from him.
The man who lulled Texans to sleep with
hillbilly music and donations in flour barrels
has found that 1956 is far different from days
he was in his political glory.
The world has sobered with the serious-
ness of World War II and the problems of
post-war years. The flippancy of the O’Daniel
campaigns of former years is not appropri-
ate today.
Even O’Daniel is not attempting to follow
that style. He seems lost in a campaign where
he has to give the issues straight from the
shoulder and cannot have an interlude with
the hillbilly band.
The strength of U. S. Senator Price Dan-
iel, who served three terms as attorney general
of Texas, as well as a member of the House,
including a ter mas speaker, has become ap-
parent. It would not be a surprise for Daniel
to sweep the field for governor.
The weakness of Ralph Yarborough, can-
didate for the fourth time for a state-wide
office and his third race for governor, has been
surprising. With a campaign where the can-
didates must receive positive support instead
of negative, the weakness of Yarborough
is showing up. His big vote the past
two times has been due solely to sppport of
persons opposed to Gov. Allan Shivers, not
to his outi popularity.

SENATOR BARKLEY DIES
Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky,
vice-president of the United States under
President Harry S. Truman, died dramatically
Monday afternoon, April 30, while he was ad-
dressing Washington & Lee University stu-
dents, Lexington, Va., during a mock political
convention.
Barkley was one of our great Ameri-
cans. After serving in minor political offices
at Paducah, Ky., he became a congressman
and later United States Senator. He was nom-
inated for vice-president in 1948 and was over-
whelmingly elected.
Then, he retired to private life in January,
1953, Bjit was elected senator again from Ken-
tucky .-in 1954.
Hi)s dramatic death, while highly active in
serving our nation, probably is the way that
the ;■‘Veep,” a term affectionately used
throughout the nation, or “Dear Alben,” as the
late President Roosevelt once wrote, would
have wished it. ' .
MEETING WITH HISTORIANS
The Herald Editor was in Austin one day
last week on business, so he decided to stay
over for the annual meeting of the Texas State
Historical Association.
Qhe always feels a little out of place
meeting with persons who take their history
seriously. Many are leading faculty members
of Texas colleges; others dre devout book
collectors and some are authentic writers of
history;
The association has developed one auxil-
iary program in recent years — Junior His-
torians. More than 600 young historians were
in attendance. They had a good time and
learned a lot.
This was the 60th annual meeting of the
association. The evening before the conven-
tion began, The Herald Editor attended the
executive council, of which he is a member.
A highly interesting feature was the auc-
tion of Texana Friday afternoon, April 27.
The auction was most interesting and the high-
est hid was $110 for a pioneer book by George
W. Kendall.
H. D. McCallum, Corpus Christi geologist,
has a hobby cf collecting barbed wire and he
talked on that subject. Glidden and Ellwood,
names familiar in Panhandle-Plains history,
were mentioned because of their work in
encouraging the use of barbed wire.

HARD FACTS AGAINST LIQUOR
The following is quoted from a letter by Mr. John H. Winters, Ex-
ecutive Director of the State Department of Public Welfare, Aus-
tin, Texas—"In answer to your letter of a few days ago I am pleased
to submit the following;
( I) You ask, 'Are Old Age Assistant payments in Texas depend-
ent upon the wet or dry status of acounty where one lives?' The ans-
wer is NO.
(2) You ask, 'Does the wet or dry status of a county affect the
amount of payment one is eligible to receive as Old Age Assist-
ance one way or the other?' The answer is NO."

The total revenue received by Texas in 1955 from Beer and Liquor
taxs was only $21,952,805.18. This was 2.6% of the total budget. The 1 J
State Department of Education receives only 1.46% of its total bud-
get from the revenue of Beer and Liquor.
ARE WE REALLY DEPENDENT UPON ALCOHOL TO SUPPORT US!
There are 61,000 children on the Texas rolls of Aid to Dependent
Children. Twenty Eight District Judges in Texas unite in saying that
62% of these chidlren are dependent because of drinking by one or
both parents. Texas spends $17,332,000 annually to support these
children. $17,000,000 is the amountof taxes paid the Texas Govern-
ment by Liquor businesses in 1953. flf
The revenue from liquor hardly pays liquor's bill for dependent
children alone. NO DECENT CITIZEN WANTS TAX MONEY THAT ^
