Senator* and Repreaentativea Hare
Been Rather Hu»y at Austin
From Austin—where, according to
the humorist, the disturbers of the
peace are assembled—much has gone
out that is interesting to the people
who pay the taxes. Through the
courtesy of Senator Russek, the Jour-
nal has been favored with the daily
Senate and House Journals, and while
I haven’t had the time necessary to
read them through, can state that the
courtesy is much appreciated. It is
agreeable to me tio know that one
part of the Legislature is well repre-
sented from Fayette county, even if
we differed politically. But that is
another matter. The news items that
interest are, first, that Speaker Sat-
terwhite of the lower house has yield-
ed to the unanimous request that he
serve as chairman of the house com-
mittee that will investigate the state
department. Lee is a good worker,
he means to do well; let us watch and
see what he and the nine are going
to bring forth. All this cry about
“this ought to be investigated and
that ought to be investigated” is a
thing of the past, the committee has
been named, now let us have the facts.
Fickle men, some of these legiBlat-
on. Clara Bow, movie actress, rather
small but good looking, happened to
be in Austin the other day and the
news spread rapidly. After seeing
the governor, she visited the two
branches of the legislature and the
boys took a good look at her, in fact
several looked several times, and the
people’s business went on a vacation
dfc>r a half hour or more. The same
magic spell fell upon the University.
Clara Bow—now I do not know
whether you call it Bough or Beau—
is well namsd. Either name would
suit the occasion nicely, especially
when a bunch of he men wrangling
over some legislative matter, find time
to pause and honor the visitor. She
ia going back to Hollywood later and
tell the stars and supes what a fine
time she had and how the Texas legi-
slature actually stopped the machine-
ry long enough for her to get her hat
on straight and catch her breath.
Great doings up at the State capitol.
Tho next nows coming fnom Austin,
isn’t legislative at all, it is political.
Have always contended that the hot
bed of Texas politics, where the hatch-
ing of candidates occurs, is right up
at the State capitol. It is now stat-
ed that, in Addition to Alvin Owsley,
the former national commander of the
American Legion, Eart Mayfield is
going to have two women opponents
when he makes the race for re-elect-
ion to the United States Senate. This
means, if the report is true, that
Earl is going to be re-elected. If all
the rumors circulated prior to the July
primary were true, the public need
not entertain a surprised feeling that
Earl has some opposition. He came
down from Washington and said a
few things to some of the big guns,
and they got busy, and then there
were rumors again, and Moody enter-
ed the race for the nomination for
governor and got it, and Earl felt
better. These were all rumors, but
.they sure came near being carried out
according to orders.
Two years from now, when Mayfield
and Owsley, and the two women can-
didates, Mrs. Hal. H. Sevier, who
saved the Alamo, and for which she
is entitled to the everlasting grati-
tude of the people of Texas, and Miss
Florence M. Sterling, one of the most
gifted women writers of the State,
begin to campaigning, things will be
lively. From out on the Bosque ranch
there may come a radio message and
the news conveyed that Jim, ever and
anon Jim, is making goto goo eyes
again, and a second ‘ primary will
follow. Old issues will be dug from
the recesses of the past, charges and
counter charges will fly through the
atmosphere, and the rest we all like
to have from these turmoils will be
granted a furlough. Rather early to
be talking about these things, but
friends, they are written on the horiz-
on now, It requires a few years to
bring them to the eyes of the people,
and they will be brought. Four years
ago, when they nominated Earl May-
field, Jim bolted, I bolted and three-
fourths of the voters of Fayette
oounty bolted and voted for

In Their Lexicon There’s -
No Embarrassment
Judge Masterson of Houston put to
teat the young and the giddy and the
lounger and bench lizards to be .seen
at his court, on Thursday of last
week and got the jolt of his life. In
arranging bo begin the trial of one of
three arrested and charged with the
crime of assaulting a young white
girl, Judge Masterson noticed, to his
surprise, that his court room was part-
ly filled with the usual loungers, sons
of rest and a large number of girls
and women. We take it the Judge
meant well, being a man of family
and seeking to raise his children, if
he ha3 any and helping to raise some
of the neighbor’s children, by his
conduct and advice, and that he want-
ed to be nice to the young girls. He
said:
“I see a number of ladies in the
court room. I wish to say that the
testimony in this case probably will
be such as to embarras you. Will
you ladies kindly leave the room?"
Then as two 'of the flappers giggled,
the Judge turned to them and said:
“What are you young girls dbing
here?” “We’re friends of the boy on
trial,” one of them answered. “This
is not the kind of a case girls of your
age should hear,” answered the Judge;
the girls sighed, sank down deeper in
the chairs they were occupying, and
by their demeanor meant that they
had dolled up for the occasion and
would remain, even if the case and
the “extiemifles were laid bare.”
The next appeal was made to tho
men folks; they were told that their
presence would prove humiliating to
the complaining witness, the girl,
Geo. who was made the victim of a trio of

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES

imony as comes from the victim on
the witness stand, who in defense of
her honor will carry to her grave the
stain society is so willing to place on
a victim and .whose doors refnain open
to those responsible for the loss of a
birth-right?
This isn’t fictitious, it comes from
the fastest growing city in the fastest
growing state in the Union. What is
there in the atmosphere that has so
permeated it as to influence girls
who hold priceless a gift, and then
give a willing ear to the testimony
which one of their sex must disclose
in order to get a conviction ?
Pitiful, isn’t it? What appeals can
the lay man offer, when the appeal of
the judge in charge of the court fails
to cause a moment’s reflection and
a response for good?

court room and hear some woman,

P«ddy and gave Earl a scare. Yes,
we were outlawed for a while, but we
were right.
Next comes the news that the Hon.
T. K. Irvin, a candidate for the im-
portant office of attorney general at
the July primary is urging the leg-
islature to investigate the Hidalgo
county bond muddle. There seems to
be something wrong down there, some
of the money is gone, and they don’t
know where, and Irwin wants them
to investigate. Crookedness seems to
be written everywhere nowadays, and
investigations are as popular as a
pretty debutante at a coming out
**anper et danse.” If those boys up
at Austin keep on getting the papers
filled with their maneuvers, they are
leeches; about half of them took their
hats, bowed and left the court room.
But the girls remained. Shall it be
said, in the words of one whose in-
tellectual brilliancy, in the past com-
manded admiration for his knowledge
and use of rhetoric was right when he
said: “In the lexicon of the language
taught bo them, the word embarrass-
ment was not written?" We fear tho
consequences if we should say that
this is true.
And yet, what calls these young
girls to the court room, and what
sense of shame have they, if cases of
that kind apppeal to them ? And
what sort of a mother is it who knows
not that her girl is in that court
or her father would fight to the death
to protect. What effect does it have

who hear the witness tell her story,
and later hear the attorney for the
