President Roosevelt has shown no
■igns of asking a license from For-

La Follette's course in the senXte
teaches a lesson as to the extent to
which the real reformer* in politics
have the ear of the nation.
Oklahoma is going to have a mod-
em constitution on paper but there
will be music before its provision! l are
adopted and legislation had to enforce
them.
This state needs the best that Aus-
tin can do for her in the way of wise
and fair and practical legislation par-
ticularly in all that concerns capita!
and railroads.
Texas has fallen on evil times when
her most popular senator has to fall
back on a primary election in which
he was not included as bis greatest
claim to hold his senatorship.
There are times when a railroad
merger is not contrary to law nor
to the best interests of the state her
industries or her investments or her
trade. Make the discrimination.
Senator Bailey lost out when he
neglected to demand an investigation
at the earliest possible moment into
all and several his acts that in any-
way bore on his fitness for office.
The ambition for the minority lead-
ership of congress could not knock out
Williams of Mississippi. Missouri had
pretensions with the pretentious

The primary election law in this

that it attempts to declare who shall

belonging solely to the legislature.

discharges his duties impartially and
ably and with reference to the inter-

cheerfully acknowledge it.
Depew and Platt should resign from

SHOVE ALONG THE SHUBERTS.
It will be found impossible to whip
San Antonio into line for any loyal
support to the theater trust. The citi-
zens have long and patiently waited
for a turn in the tide hoping from
year to year that a sense of justice
or business sagacity would move the
trust to a semblance of what was
fair to the theater circuit of this state.
Instead of matters growing better
they are steadily growing worse. Each
year sees an increasingly inferior
list of attractions billed for this city
while there is the same old charges
for the best while only third and fourth
rate attractions are given a place here.
It is time that the revolt took a practi-
cal form. Ten and fifteen years ago
the theater people of this city saw
some good attractions but for at least
ten years the dacadence of the at-
tractions has been marked. Because
the people resent this and why should
they not for the city has added 20.000
population or more in those ten years
the attempt is made to cut off the
list altogether and turn this city out
without any attraction* for the winter.
There is not much lo*s to the public
in this for there are other attractions
opening this winter that in a measure
fill as good a bill in the pleasure line
as the plays presented at the opera
house. But this is merely incidental.
San Antonio wants a theater that
shall be the peer of anything in any
city of her size in the country. She
wants it under independent auspices
and not as the slave of some eastern
trust. She wants it under such in-
telligent direction as will insure to
the theater goers of this city their
fair share of the best attractions out-
side of these exclusively offered in
half dozen of the greatesl cities of the
country. The present hope of the city
for something adequate In the theater
line lies in the dlrecton of the inde-
pendent opera house already given
notice to in these columns. Our pleas-
ure lovers should encourage this move-
ment with their money and their per-
sonal influence. The money will re-
turn good interest and the pleasure
will increase from year to year.
BAILEY ON THE DEFENSIVE.
The week at Austin opens with the
Bailey forces In a far weaker posi-
tion than they were at the opening
of the legislature. The opposition to
investigation both open and covert
cn the part of himself and friends has
turned the scales in many minds and
there is a feeling that he would not
have resorted to these tactics had lie
been certain of his ground and con-
fident that an investigation could bring
out nothing to discredit his candidacy
as a senator. Representative Cocke
from this district was early in the
field as an open opponent of the re-
election of Bailey and he is doing
splendid work in the legislature in aid-
ing and directing the fight for a down
'to the ground investigation. He has
had the courage of his convictions In
this matter and whatever the result
will be better known in the state as
a young man of positive convictions
than he otherwise would have been
| for indefinite years. The senator from
this district Green as was to have
I been expected favors the fullest in-
I vestlgatlon and there Is not any doubt
now that such investigation will be
held. The fact that such Investigation
Is against the strongest protest that
Bailey and his friends could make
and that it is the work of all shades
of legislative opinion will be felt in
every stage of that Investigation. The
sentiment in favor of the fullest in-
quest into this whole matter is gath-
ering force like a boulder rolling
down the mountain.
AN OREGON GOOD-ROAD BILL.
Oregon finds that the whipping-post
for wlfe-beaters is a failure and the
county judge of one of the counties
In that state has prepared a substitute
bill. This bill which is to go before
the legislature provides that the wife
beater shall be sentenced to work on
the public roads for not less than three
months nor more than two years that
he shall receive one dollar a day for
this work and this money Is to be
paid to his wife. The same punish-
ment is provided for those who desert
their wives and leave them without
mean* of support.
Saturday’s Light contained notice
of the case of Williams found guilty
of aggravated aasault for which he
was sentenced to two years in jail and
। to pay a fine of >5OO. This fine at the
. rate of SO cents a day will give the
: convict 1000 days on the roads. Why
| are the laws such that this man can-
not be put at once to work on the
county highways instead of being
kept in Idleness for two years before
he commence* to work out his fine?
There is a tendency to put convicts
on the highway* of the state but the
legislature withholds the power to
make this regulation effective in most
Instances. That Oregon bill if it be-
comes law goes to the proper spot.
It makes the man a laborer on the
public roads and gives the wife whom
he has beaten or the family he ha*

deserted the benefit of his labor to
the extent of one dollar a day. Con-
vict labor on the county roads is tho
solution of the convict-employment
question and Texas will find that this
method of putting her convict* to the
service of the state will work a won-
derful change in the roads in a few
years.
The carnival shows in San Antonio
are popular and the expressions call-
ed forth as to holding another this
year are about as one hundred for to
one against. All work and no recrea-
tion is bad for the health and all hum-
drum and no excitement is bad for
the nerves and these carnival shows
give our friends front other cities
and the country around us an oppor-
tunity to visit the only real pleasure
resort in the state. It is as much a
civic duty to provide for the enjoy-
ments and pleasures of a people as for
their educational and business needs
and the government of this city has
always favored giving the largest pos-
sible license to the life of the people.
There is great need of our people
bridging the years of their labors with
periods of recreation and this carnival
season is one of the bridges. To it
the young and the old look forward
with pleasant anticipation. Make It
a good one.
Good roads extension in Bexar coun-
ty is not going to stop at their present
limits and while this is so and ap
proved as well it must not be lost
sight of that a good road does not
keep itself good any more than it
builds Itself in the first place. The
miles of road in this county which
are her pride and which were construc-
ted at such cost and trouble are going
the way of aU earth growing or de-
caying improving or retrograding
The attention of the commissioners is
affectionately directed to the subject
of keeping the roads already built in
the best possible condition while wise-
ly arranging to extend the system.
Measures are being taken in the
state legislature to put the finger on
all members who oppose the fullest
Investigation of the Bailey relations
tn corporate bodies under the ban of
th< state.- There wi.l be a roll taken
of their votes in all cases so that no
change on the record will cover the
original position taken before the in-
evitable was apparent. Nothing has
so righteously stirred the anger of
the state as this attempt to tar Texas
with the same stick wherewith Bailey
tarred hlmselt The anti-Balleyites
are in earnest.
The nepotist is going to be shoul-
dered out of Texas by the legislation
of the present. The sentiment of the
legislature is favorable to this action
and it might have been had two years
ago had not the situation been such
that it would have been Accepted as
an attack of the administration of
the state. The new laws bearing on
the subject will be clear cut drastic
and of sweeping scope. There will not
be left a holt to thrust a relative In.
That new pension bill is a consumer
of cash but it will come with great
relief to thousands of the old veter-
ans of the Mexican and civil wars.
Other thousands may not need it but
it is a measure that will bring added
comfort to thousands and tens of thou-
sands of homes and on that account
is accepted. The nation is well able
to pay the additional cost.
ONE WAY OF GETTING A TIP.
"We were not thirty miles out of Bel-
lut" say* Alexaner Hume Ford in the
January Appleton's "when the plump
copper-colored official whose dirty it
is to record tezkerah stuck his bullet
head into our compartment. Some of
us explained matters truthfully others
stated that their tezkerah had been
paid for and forwarded to Damascus.
Truth or falsehood was one and the
same to the Turkish official. He im-
pressed us with the fact that he could
stop the train and put us off and then
departed. Half an hour later he re-
turned in the guise of a humanitarian.
Having discovered a poor family in
one of the third-class compartments
who was destitute of food or tickets
he was going through the first-class
carriages taking up a subscription.
eW each reached for our silver. I led
with a franc piece. Seven others in
the compartment followed suit. We
expected of course that he would
go around again. In fact it was our
plan to keep putting in franc pieces
until our friend the official volun-
tarily desisted from his cleverly dis-
guised demand for backsheesh. To
our astonishment he looked into the
hat and disappeared wreathed in
smiles. An expenditure of eight francs
had saved us sixteen dollars in hard
cash and undue annoyance."
