AUSTIN, Oct. 14.— Not only did the
Court of Criminal Appeals yesterday
hold again that the local option pool
hall law was constitutional, but it went
further and declared that the Supreme
Court, which had held just the reserse,
had erred and that the other tribunal
would reverse its former position if the
matter were again presented to it.
Judges Harper and Prendergast wrote
the majority opinion with Judge David-
son, as in the former derision, dissent-
ing. The difference is over the Legis-
lature delegating to the voters its pow-
ers, the Criminal Court holding that
there is no delegation and the Supreme
Court that the Legislature delegated
powers to the voters not permitted by
the Constitution.

Let me again urge the use of For-
malin to prevent smut in grain. A farm-
er in this county used it last year and
had no smut. His sons, not believing
in it, had smutty grain on the same
farm with the same seed and sustained
a loss of several bushels per acre. It
costs Only about one cent per bushel
to treat the seed. Surely a farmer can
afford to invest one cent and a little
time to save a bushel of wheat or from
five to seven bushels of barley or oats.
You don’t believe in the germ theory
of disease? How about the prevention
of yellow fever by killing the mosqui-
to? The cure of diphtheria by the use
of anti-toxin? The prevention of small
pox by vaccination? The prevention
of hydrophobia from mad dog bite?
The prevention of hog cholera by the
use of serum? The prevention of Tex-
as cattle fever by killing the fever tick?
We have too many leaks in the farm-
er’s ship. Be a progressive and help
yourself. Use one pint Formalin to for-
ty gallons of water, mix and sprinkle
grain while stirring, until damp, round
up in a close pile, cover for twelve
hours, keep aw^y from smutty sacks or
wagon, scald out drill, and have clean
grain next year.

eradication and the Sanitary Livestock
Commission is preparing to carry the
campaign into much new territory next
spring. Elections are to be held in
Coke and Concho counties Oct. 30, in
Archer county Oct. 16 and in Cooke
Nov. 6 while petitions for elections are
now being circulated in Harrison, Tay-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14—Boll weevils
in Northwest Texas and in half the cot-
ton-producing area of Oklahoma are re-
ported to the Agricultural department,
resultant, it is believed, from the Aug-
ust storms, which carried the pest from
South and Central Texas northward for
hundreds of miles. Wilbarger county,
Tex., and Grady county, Ok., are among
the counties reporting the weevils.
The Bureau of Entomology advises
planters to begin {mediately to pick
their cotton and destroy the plants
which will also destroy the developing
weevils. If the plants can be plowed un-
der four or five inches that is the most
desirable method, otherwise they should
be burned as soon as dry. After destroy-
ing the plants, prepartaion should be
made for a winter cover crop and for a
rotation of crops next year.
THE CROWNS OF DENTON.
Fort Worth Record.
The makers of the Denton Record-
Chronicle must have experienced a thrill
of self gratification at the appearance
of the special1 edition* which appeared
Saturday last, giving prominence to the
chief assets of Denton county—the
schools devoted to the education of tjie
young women of Texas in the arts of
home building and management and
the North Texas State Normal whose
mission is training young men and
women to become successful teachers.
The interesting information is vouch-
safed that over 3,300 students ^re re-
ceiving instruction in the schools and
colleges of Denton. Chief among these
is the College of Industrial Arts for
girls.
When it is considered that Texas has
over 2,000,000 women within its borders
it can be readily seen that an institu-
tion devoted to fostering the life pur-
pose of the girls of these women takes
hold upon the sensibilities with grip-
ping effect.
These girls are given a thorough
grounding in the literary essentials of
an education, and upon this is super-
imposed a knowledge of home econo-
mics and of the finer arts and graces
that are the adornments of ou&advanc-
ed civilization.
When to this is added a training in
moral wholesomeness, it will be seen
that here the young women of the State
can be fitted for the duties and re-
sponsibilities of life.
No less important are the advantages
offered by the North Texas State Nor-
mal College to those young men and
women who are choosing the career of
a teacher as the work of their lives.
Both these State institutions show
gratifying Increases in matriculation,
following large graduating classes in
each of the two previous years.
The material advantages of Denton
and Denton county are not omitted
from thjs very creditable edition, and
since every home in the county was
furnished with a copy and urged to send
another to some friend elsewhere, the

LONDON, Oct. !L—A great battle Is
near In the Balkans, where the German*
and Austrians are pushing forward thru
Serbia and approaching the prepared
lines of the allies. The Serbs are mak-
ing a strong resistance and the Teutonic
progress is very slow and at a heavy
cost.
Unofficial advices from the Serbian
southeast front say that a Bulgarian di-
vision was almost annihilated in a fierce
battle near Kraguyevatz, Serbia.
No further news of the expected Rus-
sian participation in the Balkan cam-
paign has been received and the rnys
tery is how the Slavs are to reach the
Serbian battle line without crossing
Roumania by way of the Danube,
which would violate Roumanian neu-
trality. The Germans are believed to
have mined the Black Sea port* to make
difficult the landing of troops there. 11
is possible that Roumania will permit
the crossing, risking the German dis-
pleasure, which would indicate that
Roumania is about ready to Join the
Entente.
Disappointment is expressed at Italy's
decision not to take part in the Balkan
campaign, but there is a belief that
Italy will yet enter because of her Im-
portant Interests involved in Asia Minor
and on the Mediterranean.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 14.—Official con-
firmation has been received of the
sweeping victory of the Russian forces
over the Austrians on the southern
front in East Galicia, where they pene-
trated the last of the Austrian defenses
and took by storm one of the strongest
points on the Austro-German right
flank, from which the Austrians had
prepared to strike at the Russian left
flank extending toward Pinsk. More
successes are reported on the Dvinsk
front. The Russians claim now to be
in complete possession of the Rovno
district and the road leading to Volhy-
nia and the marsh regions, occupying
strong positions along the Olychka,
Styr. Ikwa and Sereth rivers
The War Office reports three Austrian
divisions disorganized and that the vic-
tory will compel the regrouping of Gen.
Von Linsingen's forces, affecting op-
erations in the entire southeastern dis-

of importance tactically, strategically
and politically, the success being near
the Roumanian border. Where heavy
Austro-German forces had been concen-
trated with the evident purpose of im-
pressing Roumania.

Partial Martial Law Now in
Effect at Holland Capital
The Santa Fe’s act in voluntarily as-
suming full responsibility for the Ard-
more disaster not only insures that the
compensation will reach the sufferers
without the intervention of expensive,
legal assistance and court procedure,
but it is calculated to give a hard blow
to the talk of which we have all heard
about “the heartlessness of big cor-
porations” Probably the Santa Fe
could have been forced to assume the
responsibility, hut it could have almost
interminably delayed "final settlement,
and there might have been serious con-
sequences of this delay, not only to
those directly affected, but to the entire
town. Those who have lost by the dis-
aster should show their appreciation
of the railroad's attitude bye^.tikng
their demands as reasonable as they
well can, and we believe they will do
this. The railroad has won the appro-
bation of the general public and the
gratitude of Ardmore by its act, and it
has, we are sure, materially enhanced
that intangible >and yet most valuable
asset known as “good will."—Record-
Chronicle.
That corporations have no soulds and
are therefore heartless is a popular ex-
pression, made so by frequent dema-
gogic declarations from the political
rostrum. It is true in a sense, but the
men behind them, the men who shape
and control their policies are endowed
with the same common attributes as
others of their kind. They are just as
susceptible to sympathy, to wrongs in-
flicted, to the soulful cries of the dis-
tressed as any other class. A corpora-
tion will come just as near doing right
as will an individual if permitted to do
so. In fact, in this day and time,
though it is not as bad as it used to be,
managers of corporations will go fur-
ther than the law require? in order to
avoid a contest before A biased or
prejudiced jury and make settlement of
a claim when the possibilities of gain-
ing in the court of last resort amounts
to a practical certainty. The Ardmore
proposition presents a striking illustra-
tion of the point made. We do not
ean to intimate there is no liability
upon the part of the railroad Evident-
ly there 1s; but the disposition mani-
fested to settle all claims out of court
shows that the officials realize the need
of some for immediate relief and rather
than prolong or delay settlement as
could be done through the.courts, they
have expressed a willingness to make
immediate adjustments to the end that
the needy and suffering may have their
distress relieved. ( Which shows that

less and soulless, Mr. Ripley and his as-
sociates possess all the instincts of hu-

Engineer Parker’s figures as to the val-

duction value, les? depreciation,
about *44,000,000 is found. If the 6
cent franchise value allowed by

commission in the past has indicated
should be allowed is added and then
the value of the materials and supplies
and working fund is also added to this
amount it is found that the average
value of that road is about *34,260 per
mile. On the net operating returns for
the years 1910-1914 inclusive the Santa
Fe would have earned as follows: 1910,
2.02 per cent; 1911, 3.24 per cent; 1912,
3.14 per cent; 1913, 4.80 per cent and
1914, 3.19 per cent.
“B^ applying the same rule to the
Houston and Texas Central the returns
for the same years would have been:
I 1910, 4.23 per cent; 1911, 4.20 per cent;
1912, 1.28 per cent; 1913, 2.2 i per cent,
and 1914, .92 per cent."
The Santa Fe and Houston and Texas
Central are among the strongest roads
in the state and possibly their showing
is not a fair representation of condi-
tions on the other Texas roads, at least
four of which are now in receiverships.
And if the Commission finds that in-
creased rates are essential to the well-
being of the roads, the people of the
state, we are sure, recognizing that
thir own interests are intimately con-
cerned in the well-being of the rail-
roads, will want only a square deal for
themselves and the railroads with no
ulterior consideration entering into the
decision. The Commission, we think,
may safely be trusted with a decision
on the merits of the case, acting as
intermediary or as a representative
both the people and the railroads.

“What has become of

It is a pertinent question, in these
times of too-busy-to^be^polite people.
Lack of courtesy is a' failing due to a
misconception of one’s own importance;
it is a lack of proper poise, and sooner
or later the person who practices it is
going to be found out It has been
said that grief will betray a man’s real
character, but it could better be said
that a day snowed under with business
would bring out his true colours. If
he works quietly and quickly, and nev-
er, at the busiest moment, is busy-
enough to be rude, but can always
spare a moment or two to be courteous,
that man is a gentleman. If he bustles
and jiggers and runs and jumps-and
falls over things and shouts and loses
his temper ahd gets impatient at Gen-
>tral, and hollers for 'somebody to do
something or other that he is too busy
to do every few minutes, arid snarls at
Interruptions, and, more than all, men-
tions at every cross-roads how exceed-
ingly busy he is, and explains that he
hasn't time to turn around, he isn’t a
gentleman; or at least, he has lota of
growing yet to be accomplished. Cour-
tesy is the jewel above price, and far
from being within the reach of all, it
is within the reach only of those who
are made of the right sort of stuffin’.
And the more we write about it, the
more we are determined to mend our
manners.
