JUDGE BELL IN SAN ANTONIO.
I —
Gubernatorial candidate Bell's
•poech at the opera house last night
Was Ingenious in that it passed or er
certain mutters as settled with an In-
genuousness that was refreshing Ac-
cording to the eminent advocate of his
own claims to the suffrage of the Tex.
as Democrats the question of prohi-
bition Is settled but if Judge Bell
could only show the tangible proofs of
this intangile asset of the present cam
paign it would better satisfy those who
are opposed to sumptuary law making
at all tlm-s and places and under all
conditions. As to his remarks upon
revenue and taxation there will be no
disagreement with the position that
equal taxation is demanded and that
no matter what form that taxation
takes it must fall upon all alike. But
how that tax f* to be levied and what
particular system of raising revenue
he will favor is not set forth in that
speech. The increased expenditure of
the state and the need of raising in-
creased revenues were considered and
also the declaration made that in the
present condition of the treasury and
with the means of raising revenue so
inadequate he did not favor the repeal
of the occupation tax. His position as
an anti-trust governor was necessitated
by the situation and there was nothing
involved In his declaration of import-
ance either way. It was emphatically
* candidate's speech and one looked
In vain for the directness and force-
fulness and aggressiveness of opinion
and manner that sometimes comes so
refreshingly to a people looking for
relief from the commonplace and the
mediocre. Texas needs a man. a large
man. a brainy man an original man
a man who can do things and there
is no indication as yet that such a
man has placed himself before the neo-
pie of the state as governor. Th“re
is little doubt that the race is be-
tween Bell and Campbell and there
are thousands in Texas who will vote
for one or the other who'would vote
for neither were a real man of the
hour to appear. Judge Bell is a pleas-
ant gentleman courteous agreeable
tn manners and above suspicion ns to
his character but he lacks the foice-
f illness that Texas really needs in her
executive chair right now.
The board of health in San An- '
tonio stands as firmly on its pins in
demanding compliance with the most
strict sanitary regulations as the
president of the United States does
on his determination that the meat
making houses of the north shall be
investigated at all tim.-s and ff-om-
pelled to show a clean packing place
and a wholesome output or suffer the
consequences. Th< san Antonio board
of health is doing Its duty and the
people will sustain it in the effort to ;
give the citizens acre pure food of all
descriptions.
Patrick has azain won a respite
from the ek-ctroention chair and thr
■upreme court j* to pass upon his >
Cass at last. There is a growing im- I
pression that Patrick will not face I
dqgth again but that he will either ।
be set at liberty or his sentence com
muted.
It seems to be the general expecta-
tion that notwlth landing the es-
teemed Houston Post Is administering
strychnine to its gubernatorial candi-
date to keep up exhausted vitality the [
patient will not be able much longer I
to support bls fullname and will only
mak. use of the final syllable
F. and M. college Is threatened with
the necessity of discontinuing its vault-
able experiment station work for lack
of funds. Here is an opportunity for
the man who is long on cash to come
to the rescue of an institution that Is
doing really valuable work In a prac-
tical direction for the instruction of
the farmers of Texas and their con-
sequent Increase In the knowledge of
all that makes for the more efficient
working of their land*
FOR OR AGIN THE CONSTITUTION
Now that thy days are drawing near
In which the primaries are to deter-
tnine which of the candidates an-
nouncing for the legislature In the
several legislative districts arc to be
accepted as the candidate* of the va-
rious parties it is In order to take a
glance at Mime of the necessities of
Texas as presenting themselves tor
consideration in the next session of
her legl.-lature. The Light has a few
observation* on this point to submit
in addition to those" already presented
: the- public. How many of the laws
। that were passed by the last legisla-
ture will :-tand the scrutiny of the
! supreme court on the ground of con-
। sHtutionality? This is not an idle
। question. An act of legislature that Is
I not in accord with the constitution Is
no act at all for It ceases to tie law
as soon as the court pronounces ad-
versely ti|>on it. Then one of the
necessary qualifications of a candi-
date is a snow ledge of the constitu
tfon of the state so that he may know
what is and what is not constitutional.
To this should be addeM a respect for
the constitution sufficient to lead the
candidate to keep his to support
It and act accordingly. That this was -
not done in numerous instances In
the last legislature is only too evident >
lor the supreme court action on some I
of these laws amply proves that. Per-
haps there is no one thing so general-
ly disregarded as the plain declara-
tions of the constitution in the leg-
islation that is proposed at Austin
and it is certain thut there is nothing :
so serves to bring the laws and the ;
constitution into disrepute as that dis-
regard on the part of those who In- .
troduce bills into the house and sen-
ate. The Light would like to see a i
declaration made by every candidate
of his determination to support only-
such measures if elected as agree
with the constitution.
That statehood business is hal
finished and the other half will h
finished one way or another once that
separate vote is taken in New Mexlct
and Arizona on staehood conditions.
I-'or many years Ixmdon has been
the home of numerous natives of In
dia and other dark skinned races and
these have always been received
without prejudice to their color. Now
however that the negro is taking up
his residence in fashionable parts ot
the city and paying particular atten-
tion to the white women who will ie-
celve hismddress** there is a disposi-
tion to resent his presnee. The
lar impression that there is no ocloi
line in Ixmdon has led many negroes
of wealth to take up their residence
there and their presence on the prom-
enades with white ladies in their com
pany is not. relished of late according
to the reports received. Is the color
line going to be drawn in London as
w ell as in Boston ’
•Some quidnunc asks which lasts
longer in the family money or morals.
What is the matter with a little of
both. The man without money has
a strong temptation to immoral things.
San Antonio ball club is just half
way down the toboggan slide or is It

It was a graceful act that of the
judges in appointing Miss Allie Nevill
the successor of hi. father iu tin til-
Sice of district clerk from which L •
was relieved so suddenly ana unex-
peStedly by the hand of death. Hr
ability to perform the duty of the
office is not questioned and it is a
tribute also to the memory o£ the
grand and faithful gentleman who for
so many years was at the head of the
office of the clerk of the district courts
of Bexar county. While the memory
of the silent one is In Id in afP-etl'inite

entire bar of Bex.ir county attend th

The Russian government is after the

PUSHING OUT THE PACKERS.
The fight for pure meats In the
United States is on and not dll. T he
measure proposed by the committee
on agriculture in the house as a sub-
Stitute for the bin prepared by Bev
eridge is not acceptable to the prcai
dent as it defeats too largely the pur
pose of the inspection. There are twe
reports from the committee and it It
the majority report that is declared
Inadequate by the president. There
are three principal differences be
tween the majority and the minority
reports; the putting the cost on the
government the court review of the
Investigation which remedy Is given
the packers and not the government
and the placing the inspectori; outside
of the civil service and thus opening
the way to political appointments.
The presfihnt strenuously objects to
the change that prevents the inspec-
tion being made at any hour of die
day or night to the court review

i clause and not *o much to saddling the
coat on the government a* that doing
j this would be ie*s effective with the
I packer*. la-nving the details of the
regulations to eongiMS to settle It
is evident that the packer* have the
president to sating and that before
these regulation* are adopted they
; will be in a shape to render evasion
of them a dangi rous thing on the part
of the meat makers of the United
State*. Thia is what the i>cople de-
mand. have a light to Insist on ami tor
securing which they will gratefully
। remember the president. The effect
' of this whole controversy when the
I smoke of battle is blown over will
<• to give us meat hotfoes that are
not filthy meat product* that are more
wholesome and at the same time Im
prove the standing of' our meat* in
the foreign market*. Three Rood re-
ap! ts obtained.
The New England labor unions arc
threatening to go into politics on their
own account.
With Bryan in St. Petersburg there
seems to be a disposition at the state
capital of Texas to bring the name
of loe Bailey into the field as the can-
didate of the Lone Star state for the
chief seat in the national government.
It matters not what position Texas
may or may not take on that matter
the great American electoral college
will never know Josey.
There was a rough house when the
closing arena came in the statehood
bill and the insinuations made against
the fair dealing of the house in the
matter of Arizona and New Mexico
brought Speaker Cannon to his feet
with a suddenness that left nothing
to time find with a forcefulness of
denial as to his own office that had
the old ring In it. When the episode
clos-d the members of both parties
crowded around the speaker and
offered him tuelr warmest congratula-
tion?. There was electricity in the
air lor a little season. Joe is It.
The evidence is not al! on one side
as to the beauties and virtues and bles-
sings and benefits of municipal owner-
ship. In the recent convention of tlx-
Electric Light association for the
United States the matter was under
discussion and the statement was
made In the annual addr- is of the
president that both I* England and
America the public ownership of utili-
ties was a failure. Making allowances
for his bias in the matter there is
icasonable ground for considering his
statement true. The keeping alive
the discussion over it was referred to
the yellow journals with their love of
all that savors of the sensational.
IMS ES rams
Dallas Daily News: The state got
along iitty well under the old repre-
sentative system. Who will assert
I otherwise? Who questions the integ-
j rlty of the nominations for state of-
fices? Hate politics ami the state
( gov< rnim nt were practically tree from
| fraud. Things were done In the open
and aboveboard.
With the Inauguration of the pri-
mar ss v tem. and Its secret ballot a
loti li-ion was substituted which paral-
lel i the conditions in the slates where
politics i-- conu|rt. in those states
mm-b of the corruption is around the
' general election because parties are
|< -. uly divided. In Texas th" denio-
। cratic party Is so strong In numbers
that thete is no incentive to fraud in
the general elections. The real con-
i test Is w ithin the party and as long
' as it was waged in the open through
' the convention system the instance*
: of fraudulent practice were extremely
1 rare. But when the secret ballot was
■ brought into the party to determine
its close Internal contests we had all
I of the conditions which made coi-
; rupt politics ; n other state* —except
our hi tier upbringing.
Strange to sac. the unsat’sfprgory
result:- have been followed time and
। again bv extensions of the system by
fastening It upon us a littl tighter
rather than by throwing It off; and
| yet the further we go into it the more
| unsut isf'Ctorv ft becomes. We were
told in the beginning that the primary
election system would make it possi-
ble for a poor man to run for office
and that argument has been made for
’ each extension. Nevertheless it has
hr-eoinc more and more expensive to
run for offic». Every extension of the
primary election system has added to
the cost. More money Is being spent
In the present campaign than ever
before In the history of Texas politics.
A poor man can not run for office
without rich friends.
The News thinks that there should
| be a return to sanity and democratic
• simplicity 'o the plan which gave
Texas a Une of governors whose In-
tegrity no man will assail; hut until
that return come* there must be red
tape and restraint and it is proper
' | that use should be made of the ted
। tape now supplied. Let us obev the
law- while it is the law and let It re-
main the law long enough to perfect
it if possible. and to give it a fair and
thorough test.
This arraignment of the present
election law from within the rank* of
the party and by the ablest party jour-
nal in the state should not only be
| read with Interest and studied with
-are. but Its voice should sink deep
into the consciousness of the thought-
ful minds of the partv. There is more
than a j; re dissatisfaction with the
present conditions voiced there there
is a reason given for that dissatisfac-
tion and that reason no less a one
' than th* deterioration of the «tat*
; gov< in men t under the newer *yr.cm
; of selecting officer* to man the state
j government.

Fort Worth Telegram: Th* unani-
mity wtu which the former members
•>f the Democratic party -opposing
lit van have returned to the Br an
ioM and nr* now engaged In raising
a cry for the distinguished Nebraskan
to I fan the party in the next national
campaign has caused a lot of specula !
tfon as to the animus that is behind
the movement And it would bo well
for tin- friend* of Bryan to keep an
| ey-- on the Indicator and not be mis-
। led by the development* of th* present
1 situation. The leaders within the
| Democratic party who hav* always
fought Bryan so openly and persistent-
ly hav* not suddenly become con- !
verted to the Bryan manner of looking 1
' it things. They feel th* same way
deep down In their hearts that they
| have always felt and the allegations
. they are making to the effect that they
consider th* Nebraskan a bigger anil 1
' broader man than during the two pr*v-
। tou* campaign* may b* well taken
! with a moderate amount of salt.
The plain fact Is that the democrats
have no candidate that the people will
' rally around outside of Bryan at pres-
ent and his name will answer to keep
the herd from stampeding until an-
other boss of the outfit turns up. What
the action will b* two years hence
when action becomes imi>erative no
one knows nor can any one conjecture.
At present Bryan is all there is to con-
jure with.

Eraumont Enterprise: All the large
packing concerns have been found
guilty of receiving rebates from the
Chicago Burlington and Quincy Rail-
road company. The jury was out one
hour. Th* is now on trial
for granting tlft- rebate. The immuni-
ty bath failed to work this time.
The time has come for judgment to
begin at the great law defying packing |
houses and if it first begin there in j
the matter ot rebates and charges ot I
filth what will the end be of those j
smaller concerns which cannot find a .
refug- in their millions with which to
barricale themselves behind court en ■
tnnchments? Th* country can con-
gratulat? itself on the fact that It has
a president who do** not care for mil-
lions when these are in the scales
against the health of the people and
the compliance with the laws.

Waco Times-Herald: True Smoot
is a Mormon and it is further true
that some Mormons are polygamists
but Smoo' Is not one of these and 4t
Is not good morals to visit the sins of
one man on the head of another. We
would share the indignation of our
friend were Smoot a proved polygamist
but the contrary being shown is not
he prepared to agree with us that the
exnulsion of Smoot would be absolute-
ly wrong’ Would It not give warrant
to th* charge that religious tests are
being aplied in this laud dedicated to
freedom? Smoot suits the people of
Utah a sovereign commonwealth in
the American union; ho is not an af-
front to the customs of the whole ire.j.
' pie; why make of him and his relig-
। ions people an issue? In doing so w*
are getting on dangerous ground.
It Is high time that this Smoot con-
tention was settled and so settled as
to determine whether the religion a
man professes is to stand In the way
' of .his being retained in his seat as a
United States senator. If this is not
the lion In his path then it is national
prejudice and the overwhelming weight
1 of petition neither of which should
stat’d ns against the right of Utah
to si nd such a man to the United
States senate as she deems a good rep-
{ resentative of her Interests.
