The Te.as state senate was on record today as condemn? ing by resolution Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the president, for -entertaining Mrs. Oscar De Priest, wife of a negro member of congress from Illinois, at a White hjusetealast Wednesday. MHa Margie Nual.

J. Hol ln(, r. which was aimed at both Mrs. tiojver tnd the Texas Democrats who supported Mr. Hoover at the election last fall. The resolution adopted did not con demn the Hoover supporters but pointed out l,hat ci campaigns they were warned of the "danger of racial equality recagni- ! ti.ju at the national capital through the election of the Republican canindate." Texas went into the Republican column for the fisst time since the civil war. The resolution condemning Mrs. Hoover said social recognition of a member of the negro rac accorded by'women whose social and official positions are unsurpass ed is fsaught with the greatest consequen ces conceiyiole to amicQble relatihns of the two rac People of the Sou.th, especially Texas never having condoned such action the resolution said and such recognition of De Priest's wife was described as calcu lated to greatly disturb relations, widen the breach between negroes and the white race and cause untold bloodshed. Bowing our heads in shsme and regret the resolution continued, we express in the strongest and most emphatic terms at our command, condemnation and regret at the action of the white house mistress and her associates.

He emphasized te necessity of observan ce again in his address at the associated Press nveting. The years of argument by the wets thai prohibition was respon sible for the disrespect of law were swept aside by a single sentence. Cases coming under the head of prohibition amounted to or,! 8 pfjr cent. Th.-re is noquestion that the disrespect for :n the United States calls for our best eff.trts iu the application of u remedy But what is the remedy? That question is not so easily answered. Many factors onter into the lack of law observance One seld nn mentioned or even considered is the ease with which insignificant groups can stampede a legis lature into the enactment of some meas ure for Which there is no real sentiment. H the public is n;t aroused against a measure, tha legislators listen to the noisy group 10 which it would add dignity to cajl it the minority First knowledge the puh-j lie has hf it. is when itlearnstha.t anatherj law has been imposed while it was not looking." ' The president selected wisely the sub ject upon which to address the editors in the annual meeting of the world's great est news gathering organization. The ed itors not only can but will help in restor ing respect for the law and emphasizing he need of need of observance. They are already doing it. The president's ap peal will undoubtedly increase these florts. The editors, however, will be aiding in the creating of respect for all law if they will make it their purpose to oppose the enactment of laws at thereque&tof small nsistent groups, which is not needed and for which there is no real demand. The editors can prevent the enactment of many foolish measures which clutter up the statute books because a few people obtained their enactment. There are many such legal measures. Let us have respect for legal measures by all means. And let us have also laws that we can tespect Toptka Journal, Capt. Henderlite To Open Coal Yard. Capt. C. M.

When a real hair restorer is found we may look confidentally foward to the ointment that will stimulate the showth of new teeth, new fingers, hands and feet.
