oi the unemployment to impose on good nature of folks. The ordinance against loiterers ought to be rigidly enforced while we take as j good care as possible of our home folks. We are not in favor of six months of school for next year as is being plan lied hi some places. The thoughts of those interested should be for the children first and that means that with a six-month vacation they would lose the art of studying Far better reduce the overhead and merge some of the rooms and give the children what you can over a longer period. This is a crisis and not a time for any eno to be any thing but patriotic. It is refreshing to know that Clifford Townsend, newly elected lieutenant-governor, will try his very best to be fair and impartial for that’s something that hasn't been the past few years in Indiana. Mr. Townsend in a recent interviewstated: "Every legitimate business is entitled to fair play. There will be no special favors either to farmers, or to business or to utilities.” That should please every one. f The city of Decatur will balance ner budget for next year and meet the demands of the tax adjustment board. To do this of course works > a hardship on the employes and will mean the temporary suspension ol some conveniences. Its a tough dose but the only possible way to meet the requirements and the council and mayor have performed a good job. In the meantime the city is out of debt and in excellent condition so that when we do start to come back, it should be easy to do so. We regret that some of those engaged in the recent campaign ' thought it necessary to refer to those opposed to their ideas, as the ■‘mob.’’ If that’s what it was, it < seems to have been composed of ( a large part of the people, from i the vOtfc' given Mr. Roosevelt. It i also seems unnecessary that Mr. , Springer should have remarked: i “It was a mob that went to the i polls on election and voted in a , mob spirit. The mob was no re- I specter of persons, the unworthy ' and the worthy alike being vic- , tims.” If a landslide is a mob then i what was the crowd that voted for Harding in 1920, for Coolidge in '2 4 and for Hoover in '2B? It is ] to be hoped that the gentleman from Indiana was misquoted. Q ♦ * ' Answers To Test Questions I I Below are the Answers to the I | Test Questions Printed | on Page Twa 1. —'’Please reply.’’ 2.

Although the victory of Mn Miriam (Ma) Ferguson in the race for Governor of Texas comes as no surprise, the Democratic nomination in the Lone Star State being tantamount to election, the militant lady was obliged to hurdle many formidable obstacles before she swept into office on the erest of the Roosevelt tidal wave. Not the least of these obstacles was the “Stop-Ferguson” movement, headed by the incumbent. Governor Ross Sterling, whom Mrs. Ferguson beat at the primary for the nomination. Governor Sterling charged Ma with irregularities in the run-olf, as a consequence of which her name was omitted frsm the j ballot. But Mrs. Ferguson took her case to the State Supreme Court and was given the decision. The campaign preceding her election was bitter, many dyed-in-the-wool Democrats throwing their support to Ma’s Republican opponent, Orville Bullington, but remaining loyal to the national ticket. This will be Mrs. Ferguson’s second term as Governor of Texas. In 1924 she ran and was elected “in order to vindicate Jim (her husband, fgrrn'r Governor James E Ferguson, who was impeached in 1917 and has since been declared ineligible to hold public office in the State) rather than for the honor it would bring.” Her tenure of office was chiefly marked by her activities in pardoning criminals. During her two years in the capitol she released no less than 3,500 prisoners, many of whom were said to be notorious criminals. In 1926 Texas Democrats refused to give Mrs. Ferguson the nomination for a second term and Dan Moody was elected, it has been the charge of Ma’s opponents all through the campaign that Mrs. Ferguson will be merely a figurehead I for her husband, who, they say, will be the real Governor of the State.

Austin. Tex.-(UP) Riding high on the crest of the Roosevelt wave that washed high above the head of t.he Grand Old Party. Mrs. Miriam (“Ma”) Ferguson the stormy petrel of Texas politics, is once more restored to her plice as the only woman Governor in the United States. Although Mrs. Ferguson’s electio.: comes as no surprise, the Demoere tie nomination in Texas being tantamount to victory at the polls, the militant lady was obliged to hurdle many obstacles before attain irg her goal—the Gubernatorial chair of the Lone Star state. Not the least of these obstacles was the? bloc eif Democrats who threw their support to Orville Bullington, the Republican candid :te. since Ma s great primary fight against Governor Rons Sterling, the incumbent .and the resultant furor arising out of Governor Sterling’s charges that his or ponent s victory was the result of irregularities in the primary. At that time Mrs. Ferguson’s name was ordered omitted irom the Novemb.r election ballots. But Ma took her case to the State Supreme Court and won a decision over the Governor, with the result that the latter announced he would bolt the State ticket, although he pledged continued allegiance to the national party. This action on Governcr Sterltf.g’s |K,rt started the stop-Fei g.l-

son movement, the obpect of which was "to prevent the State falling h> to the hands of James E.

Ferguson, a former Governor who was impeached in 1917, acted as his wife's campaign manager in the race which has just ter mi nated. The career of the new Governorelect has been one of the m ist tuibulent <n American politics wlthilk recent years. Denourced by politicians as a figurehead for her husband anil lacking the full backing ot the women of her Stile, Mrs. Ferguson has nevertheless smashed through all opposition to wrest coveted political honors from vetera: opponents. Claimihg no special qualifications for the position. Mrs. Ferguson ran for the Governorship cf l,<>r State in 1924. more she said, “as a vindication for Jim 1-her huslmnd, who had been ruled ineligible for office) thin for the honor it would bring." A wave of popular resentmer.t against the Ku Klux Klan at that time played no small part in Ma's victory. But no sooner was the woman Governor secure in the Capitol than the Texans wished they hadlFt put her there. Her conduct of office brought a storm of criticism, in which legislators aiu;l voters of both sex<.B joined vigorously. The most loutetandiig activity of the lady [Governor, andi the one chiefly re-
