person with only one-eight negro blood

this question. Under tpis clause the
courts have defined that "any one of

Harry L Wright of.the fire rattn
board returned yesterday morning from
a trip to Houston aand Galveston where
he went to look into the adjustment of
compress rates. Mr Wright states that
the city of Houston is enjoying excel-
lent rates under the present law and
that the people in that part of the
state seem to be weir satisfjd with its
operations. The agitation caused by
the old-law, ,he said, caused sufficient
interest to be taken in the matter to
secure the enactment of an excellent
new law, with which sentiment in
South Texas, as he found, is thorough-
ly in accord.

that were complying with the provis-
ions of the statute. The second in-
spection showed only three mines not
being operated in compliance with ths
law and these three corrected their
methods when the matter was redFt-
ed to local authorities.
The board recommended several
changes In the law, there being three
important amendments advised: First,
providing for the regulating of electric
wiring in mines; second, prohibiting
the stabling of animals in mines; third/
requiring all operators to report
promptly to the inspector each fatal
accidert and the circumstances sur
rounding it, fh their mines.
Inspector Taylor was highly com-
plimented by the board for the com-
pleteness of his work. The board
adopted a resolution asking that the
inspector’s allowance for traveling ex-
penses be Increased from 1500 to $1000
per year and that the board’s allow-
ance be Increased from 1250 to $500 an-
nually. Another resolution was adopted
placing the methods of blasting in
mines under the direction . of .the in-
spector, so that it may be carried on
wit} more care for the health and
safety of the miners. A resolution con-
gratulating F. C. Von Rosenberg, a
former member of the boatd, upn his
appointment and confirmation as in-
surance commissioner was adopted.

called upon Governor Campbell and
was cordially received. The members

To thoe. Who ha vs regarded Colonel
Roosevelt in his seit-assume place as
the center of the universe as one that
should render him immune from criti-
cism or even accurate description, the
following extracts from northern news-
papers may be of interest:
The New York World—“Mr. Taft is
the first chief magistrate who has
boon called upon to deal with a rival,
a claimant, a pretender, an intruder, an
impostor."
The New York Evening Post—"It is
hard to be patient with a man who
talks big but acts mean, whose eye is
always to the main chance politically,
and who lets no friendship, no gen-
erosity. no principle, no moral scruple,
stand for a moment between himself
and the goal upon which he has set his
overmastering ambition." )

ing the sword and flinging the scab-
bard away; in flying a flag inscribed,

drama. ’Kirby wraps the American
flag around him, marches down to the
to the bill of lading measure passed at
the ourth called session of the Thirty-
first legislature and it to now a law,
having passed both pranches by a two-
thirds vote. This bill seeks to pre-
vent the negotiating of forged bills of
lading and to considered a remedy for
the frauds which have been perpe-
trated in this way during the past cot-
ton season. The bills of ladihg are to
be certified as genuine by the agent in
a manner to be provided by the railroad
commision.
This measure precipitated one of the
warmest fights of . the called session
just closed and at times it appeared
doubtful that it would survive. It was
eventually passed by both houses, how-
ever, receiving just enough votes in
each to make the emergency clause af-
fective. It was fathered by Representa-
tive Moller in the house and by Sen-
ator Cofer in the upper branch. Un-
der its provisions, each common carrier
is responsible for the acts of its agents
and heavy penalties are provided for
any fraudulent act on the part of either
the agent or the shipper. It is believed
that It will effectually remedy the con-
ditions which now exiet in connection

The question of when the peniten-
tiary bill takes effect is causing con-
siderable discussion around .the state
house and the dispatch from Dallas has
been the subject of much comment.
This dispatch quoted State Senator J.
M. Terrell as saying that, regardless
of the fact that the bill provides that
it is to takeeffect on January 20, 1911.
it will become effective by constitu-
tional limitation on December 10, 1910.
ninety days after its final passage.
Section 89 of Article III of the con-
stitution is the section upon which the
matter hinges, and reads as follows:
"No law passed by the legislature.
enacted, unless, in case of an emergen-
cy, which emergency must be expressed
in the preamble or in the body of the
act, the legislature shall, by A two-
thirds vote of all the members elected
tdwach house, otherwise direct."
Thore was no roll call on the bill's
final passage in the bouse, a viva voce
vote being taken. Consequently, under
the terms of the above section of the
constitution, the bill could not become
effective before ninety days after final
adjournment, which would bo on De-
cember 10. Senator Terrell’s claim, as
stated in the dispatch, is that it would
require a two-thirds vote to make it
effective attet that time, as well aa
before.

quoted on the subject, but is under-
stood to have referred the matter to
Attorney Geral Lightfoot for con-
sideration. If it is held that the word
"until," as used in the constitution, ex-
presaly limits the time to ninety days
and means "no more than" in addition
to "no less than" the plans of those
who sought to make the bill effectlye
on January 30, 1911, will be set at
naught.
It. is not believed that such a point
could have arisen in the consideration
of the bill without meeting the eagle
eye of one or another of the parliamen-
tarians in the legislature, yet the open-
ing of the question is arousing con-
siderable interest and speculation.
The Denison Herald is afraid that
“Governor Campbell is going to have
a very lonesome time of it during the
balance of his term of office." Not
on your tintype, he has all those pen-
itentiary commissioners to appoint, and
that will keep him busy. \

Ikely that none except the most

no credit. ,

Anonymous letters have been re-
ceived recently by Adjutant General
Newton from San Antonio, stating that
gambling was being rather freely in-
dulged in there. The fact that the au-
thors of the letters failed to sign their
names has kept the department from
getting very much excited over the
matter and the information has been
placed in the hands of the San Antonio
authorities for whatever action thy
may deem necessary.

loss to the high tariff standpatters
whose reign of unlimited power is so
seriously imperiled. The retirement of
these two bulwarks of protection to
special interests makes many changes
in the senate. By the elimination of
Hale, Frye becomes the ranking mem-
ber of the senate, but he is not ac-
tive. and Callom, who is next in line of
succession, is in bad health and not
physically able to meet the responsi-
bilitles of active leadership. The
mantle will therefore fall upon Gal-
Unger, with Lodge, if re-elected, rank-
ing immediately below him. The pass-
ing of Burrows moves Elkins, Nelson
and Penrose up another point in power
and if the democrats fail to combine
with the Insurgents and force a re-
organisation of the senate. Gal Unger,
Lodge and Penrose will compose the
new triumvirate, Lodge succeeding
Aldrich on the finance committee. i

In the hiettory of the English race,
from the time of the American con-
quest on through the centuries there
has ween one continuous struggle be-
tween liberty and power. Thia con-
flict between the ruler and the people
marka every page of our history for
more than a thousand years. The nat-
ural tendency of power is to strengthen
itself and oppress the people and every
statesman who is true and loyal in his
devotion to human inberty regards it
as the highest political wisdom to so
frame constitutions as to provide safe-
guards against the abuse of delegated
power. Wherever checks on govern-
ment have been thrown off and limita-
tions disregarded it has been followed
by usurpation of power not conferred,
