and some to another universities and colleges are always located on the outskirts of the city to which they are attached The chief reason perhaps is that they need plenty of room for buildings campus athletic fields and growth and one does not look for a surplus of space In the business or populous sections of a city The time comes when the city grows to and all about the halls of higher learning It is to be expected that a university or college will in time become a favorite residential section which will be provided with all the advantages a city gives Its people including paved streets plenty of street lights and adequate street railway facilities But during the time when the city is growing to meet the university the good streets should not be withheld nor any other advantage the city can give A traction company can not be expected to give service better than warranted by the income it receives and should not be expected to run six-minute cars over a long route that fails to provide sufficient patronage to make twenty-minute cars profitable But the city can and should build streets especially if the university be within the corporate limits Better paved streets are needed to the grounds of Texas Christian university Some splendid streets have been constructed over a portion of the way but at the far end for nearly a mile approaching the university the streets are sadly in need of attention Fort Worth people are proud of the fact that Texas Christian university is attached to this city yet they do not give the loyal and enthusiastic support to Its athletic games contests lectures and entertainments to which the public is invited that the students have the right to expect from Fort Worth Very likely this is partly due to the difficulty because of unpaved streets in reaching the university Paved streets would please the people and aid the university It is an opportunity for the city to use some of its road-building funds to very good PULSIEOF TEXAS I HAT is probably the most unique campaign in Texas political history is coming to a close with fireworks galore sensational moves and rumors of still more remarkable happenings At this moment it appears that the majority of Texas voters will have to express their opinion on the United States senatorship without the aid of printed names of the candidates on the ballot but will have to write the name of their choice on the official ticket Charges from the Independent Democrats and Republicans to the effect that the Ku Klux Klan alleged backer of Mayfield was about to switch support to some other candidate through the withdrawal of the regular Democratic nominee and the substitution of another name by the Democratic state committee have been made They are denied with equal emphasis by the Mayfield backers As a matter of fact such an eleventh hour switch would probably only make maters worse and confuse the voters The Corsicana court decision has barred the name of Mayfield from the ballot and the court at New Orleans has refused to order Peddy's name put on But there Is still a decision of the supreme court which may still further complicate the tangled situation In fact many Texas voters will go to the polls with a very confused Idea of what they are doing It Is conceivable that in some counties Mayfield's name will be found on the ballots and In the others it may not These matters are those that affect the situation in Texas But the bitter fight and the Issues involved ar4 alleged to be involved have a broader application In Washington the Texas situation is viewed from the angle of national politics In the shadow of the capitol dome there are two outstanding phases of the local situation that are discussed They are (I) the effect of the election of an alleged klan candidate on the Democratic vote in the state where te is a large foreign born Catholic and Jewish element in the party (2) the effect of the Corsicana revelations on the Democratic party in view of the fact that "Newberryismu has been Its chief slogan in this congressional campaign These facts are set forth because they are the facts and because the voters expect to have the situation summed up fairly and dispassionately These are the reasons for the lack of interest on the part of many Democrats in the capital in the Mayfield candidacy They may have something to do with the Impending nervous collapse and the pressing official business which are keeping a United States senator and a governor away from the rally In Dallas Saturday On the other hand there are those who feel that the regularly nominated candidate of their party should be supported and who declare that he has been the victim of political machinations and that he has no prior loyalty than that to his state and nation In these closing days of the campaign The Record will continue to preserve its independence and will endeavor to justify the confidence the voters are showing in It by printing the essential and hnportant news of all parties and factions without color or editorial bias and to interpret the news on the editorial page in fearless but friendly and tolerant editorials This is a most important election for the people of Texas They can decide it themselves But they will need and wish fact and fair without noise and smoke Rapid pmgress a being roads In the improvement and
