AUSTIN OBSERVATIONS
A eleven-foot blue snake, which
Will Ezell says is known as a
“mausurana” and is mentioned in
Col. Theodore Roosevelt's book,
“South American Travels," was
found by Mr. Ezell on the banks of
the Poesta creek a few miles south
of Beeville recently. The reptile
was sleeping on the edge of the
bank, Mr. Ezell states.
It’s enormous size caused Mr.
Ezell to hesitate in his plans to
capture it, although he wanted It
for his home type zoo. Studying
it, however, he recognized it as be-
ing of the specie Roosevelt’s book
mentioned and that it was not only
harmless, but was a friend to man-
kind. He approached it cautious-
ly, touching its tail with his Hand.
The snake moved lightly but after-
wards was motionless as Mr. Ezell
ran his hand along its back. The
snake seemed to appreciate the
friendly touch, and Mr. Ezell, as-
sured he was not mistaken in the
snake, although it was uncommon
here, lifted it and placed it over his
shoulder. He carried it to his home,
where it is the friendliest pet of

Braunfeis. vator in tile world, a $3,000,000
By Geo. W. CoKWn
The big thing that has been done
this week is the passage to engross-
ment of the insolation to submit
to the people, in the form of a con-
stitutional amendment, the plan for
a statewide road bond issue.
' This is the much-discussed thing
that Gov. Sterling talked about a
great deal in the first part of his
campaign, and very little in the last
part of it. It got “hotter” under the
Ferguson bombardment and the
Clint Small siege. But said bond
issue was always very much alive,
Just the same, and it came to a
vote last Wednesday.
There was a "bloc" organized to
defeat the submission plan, and it
worked to perfection. Ex-Senator
McGregor, now a representative,
was the general in charge of the
anti forces. It was agreed simply j
to get all opponents possible to sign
on the dotted line that they would ■
stand hitched and say nothing, not j
even ask question. You see. it,
takes a majority of two-thirds of all
elected members, in other words
100 votes to pass the amendment.
When the matter came up the
chief proponent of the measure, Mr.
Hubbard, made a good speech in
favor of submission, and no heck-
ling and'no questions took place.
On the other hand there was a dead;
silence that protended a breaking

prettiest exhibitions of practical
politics ever given in a Texas legis-
lature. I voted to submit the amend-
ment to the people, feeling that
they had a right to express them-
selves upon so important a public
policy.
The appropriation tills are com-
ing in now, and the struggle for
getting everything possible for pet
institutions is on. There is the same
alignment in general that there was
in the last legislature, the Senate
standing for larger appropriations
than the House, apparently regard
less
faces the state.
There is a bill to-liberalize some-
what the confederate pension rules.
It is surprising that "a small change
may call for so much money; Con-
federate pensions are close to the
hearts of Texans; apd woe be to
the officials who . seems to he op-
posed to liberality. However, with;
the pension fund in the red' most u
of 1 he 5 time, and ; more pensions
being added by law than are eli
inated by death.- there should be a
halt in Bberalizihfc. the law some
where, Funny thing, that pension
business:
The House passed a bill from the
Senate that permits "movies" in
'corporat-ed cities and towns to op-
erate on Sunday at certain
There was opposition, of course;
but the bill passed by a vote of
about two to one. ,
Dr. Geo. W. Truett. prominent j
pastor of Dallas, was invited to ad-
dress a joint session of both houses j
last week. He made as fine an ad’- j
dress as has ever been delivered'
before these bodies It made a good !
impression, and was free from that
patronizingly advisory tone and mat-
ter that is objectionable because
futile.
Now we are passing a peddler’s
license bill that ought to please
local merchants of the state. There
have been lots of bills whose value
seems to he seen by the legal frater-
nity that may speed up trial on ap-
peal and simplify bills of exception
and the like. But I don't know.
Think of a lawyer wanting to sim-
plify anything!
