A survey of Texas editorials notes skepticism toward political maneuvering and praise for auditors, with remarks on county creation Hudspeth and ongoing prohibition debates. The Mexia Herald cites Comptroller Terrell’s enforcement record, while Waco and Honey Grove pieces comment on governance and state finance.
The piece contrasts shoe prices with wartime strain and laments high costs. It foresees mass German and global upheaval after the war, predicting large emigration to America and Africa, aided by literacy tests and eventual assimilation through generations. It ends with a local job printing plug and a stray line.
The editorial notes political expediency behind offering a bone dry substitute for the state constitution amendment on prohibition. It argues voters would reject this bluff and calls for the anti amendment bluff to be exposed. It discusses the Kosse Cyclone proposal to appoint county school superintendents by the commissioners court versus election by the people and the preference of educators for appointment.
The papers argue that selections by courts and officials fail and urge a law to deny self defense pleas when a murder occurs while a killer holds a pistol illegally. They claim Texas needs a law to let citizens reach for tobacco safely and blame weak reform on authorities.
