Jerome did not succeed in ordering
a hearse for Hearst.
Is Uncle Sam going to take posses-
sion of Cuba whether or no?
Already some democratic papers *n
New York are declaring for Hughes.
Will the Jeromltes in the state of
New York put out an old guard demo-
cratic candidate?
The New York state republicans
line up for victory this fall without
any party dissensions.
That storm on the gulf coast of the
United States east of the Mississippi
is about the worst on record.
The state of ftxaa had neither part
nor lot in that destruction that visited
the east gulf and the Atlantic s3a-
coasts.
Dr. Moore in the Fifteenth Texas
district is going to give his democratic
opponent a run for the con?reaslonal
seat. He is an able republican.
What will the Cuban congress do
with the resignation of Palma and if
it accepts what view of the si uation
anl of American intervention will it
take?
The proportions of things are every
way favorable to the workman wages
and cost of living as compared to the
proportions existing a decade or two
ago between these.
The two-and-a-half-cent-mile passen-
ger rate is going into effect very
shortly tn all of the trunk lines east
of the Mississippi river unless where
the two-cent rate is in effect.
Bailey may well be grateful to hear
the voice of the Fort Worth Star tals-
ed in his defense for the democratic
papers of the state and country are
not approving his course as a rule.
The untouched sections of the coun-
try sympathize heartily with the south
Atlantic and gulf states that are
caught in the grip of the hur.iciM.
They will give aid if needed.
Russia Is losing enough by the way
of the assassins without losing more
by courtmartial and allows General
Stoessel accused of surrendering Port
Arthur unnecessarily to resign
Hearst Is nominated for governor of
New York on a platform that de
dares as to one feature of the public
ownership policy that it is hostile to
Justice and subversive of democratic
government. Heart does not care for
that he is subverting democracy as
ft has existed for generations in this
country.
The storm that has devastated ‘.he
low lands of the eastern gulf states
must have wrought great damage to
the rice crops of those states as these
are on the low lands that wyuld be
submerged. This destruction net
Teaching the rice lands of this state
and eastern Louisiana will make the
crops of those sections increasingly
profitable. All things even the disas-
ters of our friends make for the unpar-
alleled prosperity of this great Lone
Star state.
There is hardly a section of the
state that does not report increased
school attendance and difficulty in
finding room for the students that are
demanding admittance. This is par-
ticularly true of the state schools and
the higher colleges although the pre-
paratory schools are by no means free
from the pressure of applicants for
room they cannot furnish. This in-
dicates that Texas is filling up also
that her school people are not going
•broad in great numbers to secure
educational azlvanta&aa

border of things edible and potable
and apply It to politics and literature
and cress and mechanics and profes-
sions and all else. It might serve a
good turn In the present political sit

York for instance might be called
the democratic “style" campaign. The

better than a circus and the revela-

level. Burns' prayer would then be
answered and perhaps no one would
lie more astonished than MoaeeK to
see himsel' as ithers see him." it
would be an odd fashion and it might
correct some world-wide abuses.
THAT CUBAN CURIOSITY.
The situation in Cuba is psculiar
to say the least. Palma Is threwmed
with insurrection that will drive him
from bls place as president. This on
account of alleged usurpation of office
secured by a corrupt use of tne bal-
lot. in his emergency the insurgents
getting the best of the government
troops he applies to the Cured states
for assistance. President Roosevelt
sends his sec otary of wa and his
assistant secretary of state to arrange
peace between the insurgents and the
Cuban government. rhoza commis-
sioners give more countenance to the
Insurgents than to the government In
esse and President Palma resigns.
Congress of Cuba Is called to take
action for the country and there the
matter Is kt present. United States
has her ships of war and her marines
ready to land and her troops are ready
for the transports that will carry them
to Cuba io case of necessity. What
will the harvest be? Is the govern-
ment at Washington intending to take
possession of the island temporarily
or not? The commissioners from tne
United States after consultation with
both parties have concluded to in-
tervene. Will they clash with the
Cuban congress in case that body re-
fuses to accept the resignation of Pal-
ma? Taft is in about the closest spot
he has ever been squeezed. Almost
anything may happen and there is no
precedent for the course Ukon by the
president of the United Statei to guide
Tait in his course. Here 's a fine
chance for him to show his wisdom
and his diplomacy and his ability to
exercise government in the face ot
difficulties.
MOBS are MURDERERS.
Atlanta has the sympathies of the
country. No one supposes that tne
citizens of that city are sinners abov e
all who dwell in Georgia or that the
people of Georgia are sinners above
all who dwell in the United States
because they suffer such things. At-
lanta has had the misfortune to suf-
fer the effects of hasty action on
the part of some of her whites. What
has happened there is liable to h*!*
pen anywhgre and it Is to the pre-
vention of the repetition ot such trag-
edies as this recent one in Atlanta
that the attention ot the country must
be directed. It is a case that no law
can reach. The history of all such
occurrences no matter whether in the
north or the south demonstrates that.
It Is a case and a condition that goes
beyond the reach of any mere law
remedies to avail the corrective must
come from the instructed sense ot the
people alive to the consequences of
such lawlessness. No matter what
the provocation of the negroes that
does not clear the case from the con-
sequences. There is a natural 'aw
that goes to the foundations of society
and that law decrees that those who
resort to violence shall perish through
their violence. Retaliation and re-
venge cannot set themselves In the
high places of government as execu-
tioners of law penalties. The occur-
rences at Atlanta prove that the con-
I sequences of such resort to private
vengeance Is a murder of the inno-
cent therefore the increased bitter-
ness and ill feeling on the part of the
race that suffers. The strong must
| conserve the safety of the weak not
prey on them. Society must set It-
self right on thli question. It is not
whether the original perpetrators of
nameless outrage can be over pun-
ished but can the mob punish any-
thing justly? That Is. can the mob
take the law Into Its own hands and
not destroy the innocent with . the
guilty and thus create a greater law-
lessness than that wbleh ft attempts
to correct? This Atlanta horror teach-
ea that it cannot. This teaching must
be accepted as demanding the death
of mob law.
Jerome puts into effect his threat
of what he would do in the event of
the nomination of Hearst by declaring
himself openly for Hughes the repub-
lican nominee. Tbls is early In the
day for such declarations but thia is
not the only one as staunch demo-
cratic papers are already throwing
off the Hearst label and announcing
either their independence or openly
declaring for Hughes. None the less
Hearst is going to wage one of the
rtrongest gubernatorial campaigns
that the state ot New York has ever
been the participant in.
The sick man of Europe is now hav-
ing company and Abdul and NiciioUu
ire both in need ot some more dras-
tic remedies than have been as yet
prescribed. In Turkey the end is like-
ly to come when the end comes with
the sultan for the succession to his
throne is in contention while in Rus-
sia the lease on power by the czar is
in the hands of the socialists who
consider him just weak enough to add
strength to their own propaganda
ugalnst imperialism.
The naturalization papers Uken
Uken out in this city indicate that
many who have heretofore retained
their allegience to foreign govern-
ments while seeking the advantages
of this are no longer in that frame
of mind and are ready to become
Americans in fact and name. If this
country is good enough to live in and.
grow rich in and be protected in it
should be good eonugh to confess alle-
giance to.
The hold on power will naturally
induce the Palmerites in Cuba to stand
pat and refuse to acquiesce in their
chief's determination to resign his
office under the advice of his United
States counsellors. This tendency in
the human mind must be teckoned
with in forecasting what is likely to
be the outcome of the very anomalous
condition now presenting Itself in
Cuba.
The Cuban junta is transferring its
s-phere of operations from New York
to Havana. What this departure
means is not very clear beyond the
fact that the insurgents seem to need
all their brains in one place and the
head of the JunU in America may be
able to tell what is the condition of
the pulse of this country In relation
to affairs involving relations with
Cuba.

It Is a peculiarity of the late meat in-
spection bill that it only refers to
domestic articles and has no binding
force or application to the meats that
are imported into this country. There
should be subsequent legislation to
remedy this for the revelations from

ducts there are as free from objection
as arc our own
PRESS PICKINGS.
Dallas Times-Herald: Candy mak-
ers are protesting against the pure
food law which goeb Into effect Jan-
uary 1 next because of the restrictions
it places on coloring matter. They
declare that a quantity of aniline dyes
are now used in the preparation ot
candy and that it the dyes are pro-
hibited the confectionery business will
be seriously affected. But'the officials
charged with the execution of the law
assert that there are plenty of animal
and vegetable dyes which can be used
without the necessity ot using aniline
dyes. It may be more expensive to
use something else in preference to
aniline dyes but these are alleged to
be injurious. A high British medical
authority according to Dr. Wiley
chief ot the bureau of chemistry de-
partment of agriculture says that 30
per cent of the kidney and intestinal
troubles of the people in Great Brit-
ain are caused by improper preserva-
tives and dyes In food.. Dr. Wiley
says that the pure f oo-. law Is most
rigid in its exclusion of deleterious
coloring matter and that cahdy man-
ufacturers must conform to the law.
The candy makers are no better
than the rest ot the food producers
and must come to the requirements
of the law. The regulations may bear
a bit bard at first and possibly hit
a few Innocent persons that is those
who are not endangering either health
or comfort In their food preparations
but on the whole the law is wholesome

and must be enforced. When it is
seen that some of Its provisions are
unnecessary there may be a change
In such regulations as are found no’
to be required by experience. None
the less must the provisions of the law
be carried out until these changes
are authoritatively made. It Is the
only way In which the law can be
made effective. The law Is a hard one
to execute at beet as the old world
governments have found out after
years of attempt In that direction.

Houston Post: The reports from
; Austin and College Station Indicate
J that the facilities of the University
। and of the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college are inadequate to meet
the demands made upon them and it
‘s even suggested that It may be nec-
essary to resort to tents to accommo-
date those who cannot be given quar-
-1 ters in the barracks at College Sta-
! tlon. Surely the legislature will not
remain indifferent to this condition.
; Speedy provision should be made so
that both the University and the Ag-
ricultural college may never have to
turn away a Texas youth because of
inadequate facilities or lack of room.
It is said that there are comforta-
ble accommodations in the barracks
at College Station for 376 boys while
there are already 450 present with
old students yet to come. Be-
sides President Harrington has for
some time been discouraging appli-
cants. giving them no assurance
that they would be able to get room.
Conditions are little better at the
University because the students arc
not compelled to occupy the dormito-
ries attached to that institution. Nev-
ertheless there is lack of class room
at Austin and it should be remember-
ed that in a state like Texas the de-
mands upon the state's educational
Institutions will constanly increase.
If the facilities at College Station
were sufficient to accommodate 1000
stdents. they would still be inade-
quate for a state like Texas. There
should be at least 3000 students at
the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege. considering the population of
the state and the scope of the train-
ing imparted there and if the legis
lature properly provide for the insti-
tution it will not he lond until that
many students will be registered.
It should be the policy ot the state
to keep all of her educational insti-
tutions abreast of the increasing de-
mands upon them. When the demands
of the nineteenth plank of the Dallas
platform have been fully executed
with regard to the country schools
there will be still greater pressure
upon the facilities at Austin and Col-
lege Station.
The Post believes the aroused sen-
timent of the state In behalf of im-
proved educational methods and fa-
cilities will Induce the coming session
of the legislature to go farther than
any of its recent predecessors In
equipping the state’s institutions with
facilities to accommodate all who ap-
ply. In any event there should be no
delay in providing accommodations
for at least 1000 students at College
Station.
The education of the sons and
daughters of Texas in the schools of
Texas is in accordance with the eter-
nal fitness and will be productive of
the best results to the state in days
to come. This cannot be done unless
the state provides for that education.
The Light has previously called at-
tention to the conditions existing in
the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege and pointed out the need of
doubling the capacity of that institu-
tion. It now reinforces that demand
by the above article from the Hous-
ton Post and endorses what the Post
says along that Une.
