GOOD ADVICE FORM MR.
HARDING
That was excellent advice which
President Harding gave to his fel-
low Americans the other day at Kan-
sas City when he advised them to pay
strict attention to the financial ex-
penditures of every unit of govern-
ment under which they live and pay
taxes. The city county district
state or national government—each
and every one of them—spending
the taxpayers’ hard-earned money
the president sagely advises should
be held accountable for the money
they spend out of the public treas-
ury. Public officials in charge of
•Htier' of these writs of government
should take the taxpayers into their
confidence and lay bare the operat-
ing expenses of whatever govern-
mental unit they control. Demand
the same thrift on the part of your
public officials as you exercise in
your own affairs is the advice of the
president in effect. Perhaps there
is too much tendency to let things
go taking things on trur. Too
much carelessness and slipshod
handling of the people’s money.
Perhaps public officials would be
more economical in the expenditure
«f public funds if they knew they
had to account for it all. The same
applies to all sorts of institutions
which handle other people’s money.
A careful supervision of the finan-
ces and expenditures of those who
have charge of the funds might re-
sult in less financial disasters in the
long run.
Taxation very probably might be
reduced if ail public moneys were
required to be accounted for pub-
licly and the reason for expendi-
tures made plain. No doubt immense
sums of the taxpayers’ money are
wasted or otherwise unfairly dis-
posed of because the wasters or
spenders have unbridled opportun-
ity. Colonel Bill Sterrett used to
say that if the American people
could only realize how their money
was wasted or misused at Wash-
ington they would rise up in rebel-
lion. *
BRILLIANT LEGISLATIVE
WORK
That was a brilliant piece of
legislative work accomplished by the
present state legislature when it
cut down the state’s appropriation
lor the payment of sheriff’s fees
to such an extent as to seriously af-
loat the efficiency of the sheriff’s
department. The fact has been
brought home to Cameron ' county
by the curtailment of the force to
only one deputy besides a barely
sufficient office force. It seem?
strange indeed that the legislature
should have failed to appropriate
sufficient funds to maintain an ade-
quate force of sheriff’s deputies. Or-
dinarily the sheriff is entiled to have
as many as six deputies. Often that
number is needed and even more
could be used. In border counties
like Cameron where there is every
facility for criminals to escape ar
rest by getting ncross the border in
tO Mexico it is absurd to attempl
to police the county with only twe
officers—the sheriff and his chiel
deputy who is also in charge of th«
jail. It is difficult to understand
how such a boneheaded stunt coulc
have been pulled off by our solons
at Austin.
Sheriff Robertson is as fine t
sheriff as any Texas county evei
boasted and he will do the best h<
tcan under the circumstances. Bui
he will have a difficult task. Othei
border counties doubtless are facing
a similar situation and the outcome
of this sudden reduction in the force
of deputies is doubtful. It may be
necessary for the state to resort to
j the use of rangers to maintain the
enforcement of the law in the border
counics—that is if the expense oan
• be met by the state treasury.
The court house in New York
City is said to be overrun by rats
and the county officials are looking
for some method of exterminating
the rodents. We suggest that the
remedy bo given nation-wide pub-
licity if one is discovered. There
are rats in more places than New
York’s court house or in the fabled
town of Hamlin.
Apparently both of the big parties
will write a prohibition enforce-
ment plank into their platform next
summer. What the people want is
real enforcement not merely plat-
form planks. Talk doesn’t get us
anywhere.
Anyway a president can get all
the publicity he wants without pay-
ing for it. What does a president
want with a newspaper? We don’t
know but what if we could be elect-
| ed president we. might be willing to
sell our interest in the Herald so as
to let somebody else talk to the del-
inquent subscribers and the fellow
! whose ads don’t get set up to suit
him and the lady whose little girl’s
name gets left out of the society
editor’s reports.
Henry Ford doesn’t know enough
history to be president say the crit-
ics who don’t want to see Henry
elected. Maybe we shall have to
put our presidents under civil ser-
j vice rule after awhile and require
them to pass exams before they are
| eligible. That might be a good
t scheme if we get some good dem-
ocrat to start with.
Clubwomen all over the country
are demanding jail sentences for
first offense bootleggers. This is
declared by noted women leaders
to be “the only way of stopping a
national scandal.” Bootlegging is
far too profitable for an insignifi-
cant fine to deter the bootleggers.
They may make many successful
bootlegging trips before they are ar-
rested for the first time. Who can
tell whether they are caught on their
first offense? Let the punishment
fit the crime whether it be for the
first or the hundredth arrest. Boot-
leggers are a public menace. The
poison liquor which many of them
have sold in this country has caused
many deaths and many cases of
total blindness have resulted from the
same cause. A bootlegger is en-
titled to no consideration whatso-
ever. The real smuggler* who fur-
nish the liquor and pay the bootleg-
gers or divide with them will al-
ways be smart enough to keep none
but first offenders in their employ.
They can well aford to pay the small
fine with which the first offender
usually gets off.

THE PROPOSED LIQUOR TREATIES
(Temperance News'
It is commonly rcimrted that the State
Department is discussing treaties witii
various Kuropcnn countries nuder which
foreign ships will lie nHowed to bring
scaled liquor stores into American ports
in return for the privilege of search and
seizure of rum smugglers within a
twelve-mile limit.
I A general right of search Is. we uu-
derstand. not proposed but merely a
I privilege which will enable the United
States to protect itself agaiust smuggling
of alcoholic liquors and p«»s»ib|y of pro-
hibited aliens and narcotic drugs.
Such an adjustment of the matter is
heartily favored by the Uourd of Tem-
perance. Prohibition and I'nldie Morals
of the Methodist Kpiscopal church
i It was mi intended that the Volstead
law should ini|K>se prohibition upon for-
eign ships except to such an extent as
might be necessary to prevent beverage
alcoholic liquors from coming ashore.
The decision t.f the Supreme Court that
prohibit ion at plied to ships of for *ig.i
|registry even to the extent of prohibt-
jtioi. of seal'd liquor stores was not
||"t«*d any more than it was expected
'that the Supr< me Court would hold tlint
I congress must specifically apply proh'.bi-
I tion to American ships on the high sen*.
Upon the other hand prohibitionists
will strenuously opimsc any concession
to foreign shipping on the pari of the
United States unless the American p*ople
receive a quid pro quo ill the shape of
privileges which will do away with the
shameful spectacle of nn ni'giinixcd at-
tack being mad* on American laws under
the protection of the flags of supposedly
friendly nations.
1 The Hritish and other governments
have n right to expect the United Slat-*
to agree to nn accommodation and the
people the of the I'nited States certainly
expect Kuropean and other governments
to render assistance against rutu smug-
gling. 'The Hritish government and the
United States Government in particular
have a vital interest in an niljnstmcut
of this matter. It is the only thing now
contributing to a just feeling of irritation
in both countries.

CLAIMS KINGSVILLE!
OE SITUATION HAS
BEEN EXAGGERATED
I Kingsville Iteeord. I
The big dailies (f the state carried
o rather lurid story of the oil situation i
in Kingsville especially regarding the
Humble well. Inst Sumlny. There was.
of course some ground for the stnrv.
At the tiuie it wn* written the well was
coining in by heads the t'ir't ones be-
ing of enough volume ns to cause oil
men to believe that the well would fin*
ally* come in. Hut the heads came closer
uni closer together the volume getting
smaller and smaller until it became u
steady stream about the size of a lead
pencil flowing a very few barrels ca«h
Tile above is the situation at the time
of going to press. The company has
ordered a pump to be placed in ihe well
as stated Inst w *«k. hut it ha* been de-
layed for some unknown reason and in
the meantime nothing is being* done out
at the well. laist report* were that the
small stream was still flowing. The oil
has been tested und found to be of g>“*d
quality. In fact some of it was tried
ont fur fuel and found to be most satis-
factory. Local oil men con give toil no
inkling of just what will be done or what
the well will prove up until tne pump
arrives and is installed. It is argued that
the nil is probably be>ng pushed out of
the hob* by gass while other* argue that
there was several hundred feet of oil in
flic hole when the bailing was stopped
with water at the bottom nnd that atvis
water gradually accumulates and pushes
the oil out at the top; that when
this oil is exhausted that the water will
conic over. Employes of the company
sate that either proposition could eaady
be true—that there is just ns much
’chance that the oil was coining in faster
than the water as there was that the
yvater was coming in faster than the oil;
in other words little definite information
can be given out until further develop-
ments are made which will he done next
week or as soon n* the pump arrives.
