Houston Post
The Nashville American, commending the efforts of
the Texas brewers to eliminate gambling from the sa-
loons, says they are much much wiser than many of
the brewers of other states, who pay no heed to the
growing demand of the public for an abatement of
the evils which so many saloons have tolerated. This
is quite true. In Chicago, Kansas City and other towns
of the North the breweries are held chiefly responsible
for the lawlessness sheltered by saloons and dives.
Under the pressure of constant irritation, the people
in such communities are threatening retaliation either
through taxation or suppression that will make brew-
ing an unprofitable business, unless the brewers them-
selves are sensible enough to concede the righteous-
ness of the public demand that all lawlessness be pro-
hibited instead of encouraged.
The Texas brewers are simply manifesting their
good sense in striving to remove those features which
are condemned by both law and public opinion. While
they may not have succeeded in accomplishing all
that is desirable in this direction, they are vigorously
dealing with certain forms of evil which have become
intolerable, and it is to be hoped that their efforts
will in due time become crowned with complete suc-
cess.
The people are going to reduce drunkenness and
crime to a minimum and the lawless saloon is going to
have a very hard row to hoe some of these days.
It is the part of wisdom for those who are directly
or indireetiy concerned in the saloon business to
separate their places of business from every form of
vice and respect the laws which In the last analysis
afford them as much protection as they afford the
public.
By using their power to enforce the proper respect
for law and order, the brewers will eventually bring
about conditions which may in the end greatly mod-
erate the hostility of those radical reformers who
seek to put all saloons out of business, and bring them
to see that strict regulation, coupled with obedience
to the tetter and the spirit of the law will prove the
ultimate solution of the problem which has so vexed
the public during recent years.

A PERNICIOUS PRACTICE.
Citizens of this country like to read statstics. Thai
to. they like to be informed on all subjects of indus-
trial and economic interest, and they must depend
.Don the statistics for such information. Statistics in
• the abstract, are dry things, but people have always
respected their Import and have accepted them as
conclusive. They have commended the government
Cor Its Interest in matters which could be reduced to
An arithmetical baste and they have willingly paid for
all the elaborate machinery which has been provided
Co this department of the government.
Of late, however, the people have entertained •
growing suspicion that the census reports are not all
that they should be when authenticity is taken inte
consideration, and their faith to shaken. The frequent
attempts to prove by statistics that the cost of living
is not increasing faster than the wages of the work-
en for Instance, serves no other purpose to the provi-
dent and intelligent citizen than to impress him with
the belief that somebody is prevaricating.
Complaint is also made about the statistics which
are based upon the consular reports. Indeed, It hat
been charged that some of the American consuls have
become so enthusiastic over the desire to have their
reports read just as the administration would prefer
to have them read that they have become adepts In
EndinK just such figures as are needed, to the exclu-
toon of others which are perhaps more honest and
Inanely.
These consuls apply the magnifying glam to the
exults that serve their purpose and gleefully overlook
the overwhelming figures in favor of the question
under consideration
Work such as this clothes the government statistics
with rare poftical power, but it is so glaring in Ito
attempts to mislead. In many instances, as to be abso-
lately worthless.
It is true shat such jugglery should cease. The prac-
tice discredits one of the most useful branches of the
zeblie service, and it will boo render tt worthless on
account of the public's lack of confidence, even if the
figures presented are founded upon fact and the
most intelligent research. The administration has no
right to prostitute any branch of the government I
service to further its own political ends, and it should
especlally have a care that the consular service be
kept above suspicion.
THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
A husband and wife have been divorced In New
York upon the peculiar grounds that each was too
witty. This is another proof of the old saying that
genius should never wed: In the naturally close re-
lations of the household much of the luster of genius
is knocked off by mean little ways, railing at un-
avoidable occurrences and the very common traits of
character which are mistaken by the casual acquaint-
ance for the eccentricities of a brilliant mind. " The
folks at home know better than this, but they try to
make the best of It One of this kind in a family car
have some hope of getting through life by the grace
of toleration, but when there are two of the same
kind under the same roof trouble may be expected.
And when genius runs to wit it is worse than any
other kind of provocation. One can imagine the in-
centive for a riot when one witty genius studies all
day until he has • well rounded and biting specimen
and goes home to try it on his wife, only to be met
by a spontaneous counter-shaft which makes his own
studied effort look like vintage of an ancient almanac.
There is little wonder that such clashes of genius
should at last lead to the divorce court

INDORSES SOUTHERN VIEW,
Preston (Minn.) Times.
It is said that a milltary fort in Texas is about to
be abandoned because the white people of the place
refuse to receive the negro troops on terms of social
equality. This has moved the editor of The Fort
Worth Record to write an open letter to President
Roosevelt which should be read carefully by all in-
terested in the race question.
The Times ventures to believe that President Roose-
velt might well listen to Southern advice as regards
the negro problem. The North made almost a fatal
blunder once before In dealing with the negro—ths
granting of the elective franchise—and It Is not Im-
possible that we may err again. We believe that ths
negro should be given every assistance to Improve his
condition mentally and physically, but he should be
made to understand that socially there is a barrier
beyond which he must never pass. The mixing of the
two races to absolutely unthinkable. We may tolerate,
yea. respect and esteem the decent black man when
we meet him on the street or in his place of business;
wo would do nothing which would tend to deprive
him of the opportunities of making an honest liveli-
hood. but we would never take him into our family
and make him our social intimate or equal. The two
races are and should forever be separate and distinct.
The mixing of blood can only prove a curse to both.
The Southern editor is everlastingly right

A TARDY RECOGNITION.
It is asserted that King Edward to at last considering
the subject of making William Waldorf Astor a baro-
net. This determination has come about after a long
season of waiting on Astor’s part, during which time
he has suffered untold derision from the nobility of
England and the insuits born of the contempt of the
cockneys. William Waldorf wanted to be an earl.
He renounced his citizenship in America, where his
father had laid the foundation of the great Astor for-
tune by trapping and dealing in hides and pelts, and
he fooled himself into believing that this act of sedi-
tion would put him in favor with the Englishmen
whose favor he courted. But he was mistaken. The
manly man, wherever he is found, has a contempt for
the renegade and the snob who assumes that the
people of his own land are his inferiors. Astor took
his money and his august personage across the sea,
but the people would have none of It In a social way.
Even the ownership of a great newspaper availed him
nothing, and his silly insistence upon breaking Into
the nobility made him the butt of more cutting jibes
than any American would permit to go unchallenged.
He was a man without a country and his unenviable
position only goes to show what expatriated Americans
must expect to suffer even at the hands of those with
whom they hope to associate.
Astor may become a baronet after all these years,
but that win not change the degree of contempt to
which ho to beta by Englishmen and Americans alike
People have no use for such a man, as Astor might
easily have dlscoverea had he ever taken the trouble
to reed the life of Benedict Arnold.
THE DRAMATIC FLAVOR OF WwALi STREET.
Suecess Magazine.
It is the speculative side of Wall street that moot
appeals to the imagination. * we were dealing with
that side of Wall street we should not lack for authen-
ticated cases of high dramatic flavor. aa, for example,
that of a youth of 11 who ran II into a fortune of
$200,000 in a few months and was last heard of trying
to pawn his wife’s engagement ring for 825; or that
at the farmer who made several milltons of dollars
from a very modest beginning, slipped a check for
$300,000 under the breakfast plate of each member of
his family one morning, tore the checks up because
within an hour the riches had become a matter of
last humiliation upon them it will be the signal for
the beginning of the revolt in Wert and Southwest
Texas and which will ultimately lead to the diarup-
tion of the state."
All of which is ridiculous, Texas hasn’t yet adopted
prohibition as a state policy and it Isn’t at all incunea
to do so. Prohibition sentiment played a conspicuous
part In the late gubernatorial campaign and many
ballots were cast to the primaries under an apprehen-
sion of certain possibilities. Prohibiuontsts tearod
that Mr. Colquitt would favor a change in the local
option laws, and many of them voted for Judge
Brooks. No doubt some people who favor state pro-
hibition voted for Judge Brooks, but he himself had
specifically declared against that policy.
In like manner many anti-prohibitionists feared
that Judge Brooks would favor more restrictive local
option laws and they voted for Mr. Colquitt. No
doubt some people who favor the repeal of all local
option laws voted for Mr. Colquitt, but he himself
had specifically declared for respecting public opinion
on this subject.
Judge Brooks undoubtedly appealed to prohibition
prejudice, but Mr. Colquitt as dearly appealed to anti-
prohibition prejudices. Both played politics to this
extent. If one may be reproached for bringing prohi-
bition into the campaign, the other may be reproached
for bringing in anti-prohibition.
Anyhow, neither was nominated, and, taking
Twenty-eight years sgo the Pilot Potet Fast made its

Point was only a wide place in the road, with a popu-
lation of a few hundred. It was then a typical western
town, taken la at Umas by the cowboys ana dheir com-
panions. There was no city government of any kind.

What greater honor can any man ask than to live

quarter of a century and win from them the praise

right living. Such a fame may not be trumpeted to

and repose to the declining years of life and causes
the hearts of true friends to bleed at death.

Editor MeLemore might remember, also, that
no section of the state may secede upon its own
motion. U division shall ever come. It must be
with the consent of a majority of all the people.
If North Texas is powerful enough to ram its
’■commercialism" down the throats of citizens of
other sections, It is strong enough to hold throe
sections in Mus ana maintain the solidarity of the
state.
What the conaitions may be half a century or a
century hence, when our population has reached ,
25,000,000 or 50,000,000, it is entirely too early to
conjecture. It to quite possible that economic
problems may then arise to give substance to a
movement for divtalon, but ft is entirely too early
to anticipate a possibilty e0 utterly at variance
with the sentiment of the state, and it will never
be in order to consider the question of division in
connection with such a temporary issue as pro-
hibition or so just a principle as that involved
in the proposed blanket primary law.
We think the esteemed editors of State Topics and
ths Laredo Times are suffering from indigestion,
caused by too much political erow. From experience
we can testify that it will not last long.
We rejoice to believe that we shall have them both
in our midst for many years to coms.
In this day of progress, push, combination*, consolt-

down and waits for some other party to come and
put up the money. Self-confidence must be shown by
being willing to go into any responsible proposition
which will build up the town: start the ball going.
