QUO "WARRANTO BILL
DEAD.
40 urarranto hill Friday and that
meacare was killed lor the second
tie. The provisions of the measure
ware laach as to cause the Senate com-
!kte to consider it unwise legisla-
tion in tkat it save to the executive
dapartaaaat of the state powers of a
judicial nature and opened up the way
lor political persecution of faithful
paaec aalcers. The - Senate without
a iaaat was In sympathy with the
jvatiae ef the bill which was to pro-
Tide Meaas for the removal of 'peace
oen who fail or Ttfse to -perform
their datfca; hut like "many other
Yteacures of a reform character whose
aarypaee were good and whose pro-
vkiocB were had the quo warranto
h41I Merited the defeat which it EUb-
talaed. if
The Bulletin. Is not at all in sym-
aathy wtih the attitude of the Dallas
News which has vigorous defended
the a.uo warranto bill and which
charges that the dfeeat of the measure
in the Senate Friday was a result of
prejudice- in that body against Gov-
erser Keif chief sponsor for the meas-
ure. The News charges that "it is not
iimcult to guess that the opposition
to 4t spranclrom hostility to the Gov-
ernor. In the case of several Sena-
tors it mist be presumed that they
hat ap better reason for voting against
it- Sach a charge Is an Impeach-
ment of t&e integrity of those mem-
bers of the Senate who opposed the
bill and is as manifestly unfair as it
Is unfounded. The News goes on to
make a further unsupported charge
that "Lawlessness Is too prevalent and
ocial connivance at it is too flagrant
in some places for law-abiding citi-
zens to forget the need of something
to make possible the enforcement of
loyalty oaths taken by administration
aaa eaforcmeent officers." The News
is merely guessing as to the "preval-
ence of lawlessness" and "official con-
nivance of' officers of the administra-
tis; and enforcement forces." The
present laws of Texas are adequate
te vanish any sach offenses as are
charged by The News and if that
newspaper has knowledge of such of-
it abevld as a. matter of duty
all its 'influence to see that they
are paaSsned under the existing stat-
utes. If it has no such information
ks duty to the public is to refrain'
frees making such charges.
'The whole situation so far as the
warranto bill Is concerned rests
vnsapported charges of flagrant
vieiatkKS of the law and of conniv-
ance ef eAcSals Kith the law-breakers.
Tne Bulletin is convinced that in prac-
tical! jr crery county of the state the
nwa are being enforced with at least
a fair degree of effectiveness and that
na wneie'.ifce peace officers ot Texas
are homnt men and faithful officials.
If there are any communities in which
flfcc laws are hetee flagrantly violated
the Qorsmor Intr a great deal' of au-
Mj ad peeeceees a great deal of
inw eaJareeaaent machinery and is
ee4n fta nee all of it in uphold-
tW mnieatr of the law. If there
mmml anegrw-
or adminlstra-
adeqnate punlshaKnt under existing
laws. Meanwhile if there are to be.
additional laws for the removal of
faithless officials let such laws be pre-
"pared with a "view to leaving to the
counties of the state as much of their
initiative as is guaranteed jto them by
constitutional .provisions and let such
laws be so prepared as to protect hon-
est public officialsi against persecution
by political -enemies. In order words
let the defects which twice defeated
the quo warranto-jbill be removed from
any similar measure . which is ; to be
Introduced in future sessions "of. the

BY STANLEY
Recently Congressman Thos L. Blan-
ton filed a libel suit against Mr. Oscar
Callaway one of this opponents in the
primary campaign of last year. A
few days ago Mr Callaway countered
with a similar suit against Mr. Blan-
tqn except that Mr. Blanton's suit is
a civil action while. Mr. Callaway al-
leges criminal libel. It is probable
that both men made statements-which
should not have been made during
their campaign pf last year' It is
probable that most candidates make
statements about their opponents
which should not be made. And jit
is a sad commentary upon Texas poli
tics that almost every primary cam-
paign is followed by Its libel suits.

Governor Neff's suggestion that
there be appointed a State Historical
I m
Board to preserve the past and pres-
ent history of the state Is a worthy
one. No other state In the Union has
a more gloriousthistory than has Tex
as and 'noiotherstatet-has taken 'so
little interest in the preservation of
records and properrecognition 'of his
toric landmarks as has Texas.
The Jersey mm fleet fled when a
coast guard cutter fired a warning

national law to prohibit it why not
equip all the coast guard cutters with
guns and turn them loose upon the
rum' smuggling vessels just outside
the three milelunit?

is play when

Which is good

and practical not practicable com-
mon sense.
Passing down the street this morn-
ing thd Parson heard ono of the great
democracy state that he had come to
the conclusion that "we have too
many schools in Brownwood already." i
Some one was trying to combat his
opinion; but what Would be the use of
doing that with so highly intelligent a
debater Not fewer but iktter Schools
are wanted. "Or rather both more
and. better. Not that the Parson
thinks that Brownwood has any occa-
sion to be ashamed of her schools.
Three if not four of her boys and
girls trained in the schools and col-
leges of the city are among the honor
graduates of the University. The
manual training students brought
home five or six prizes from the expo-
sition at Fort Worth. We have not
rcoin for the students. It is cruel im
position on the teachers to set them

And streets! It Is surprising how
many people find time and ability -to
swear at the city manager bocauso the
streets afe not all they want ttiem tq
be for speeding "purposes. And yet
suggest that better streets must -be
paid for and that paying for better
streets means mare taxation since
there Is no other source of' income and
they go up In the air. Good teaqhera

and firm streets do not grow on trees.

The Fundamentalists are having a
big time. But they are like the. man
who cation ho branch to saw It off.
The Parson would-suggest that canny
old Gamaliel's advice Is relevant;
"Refrain from these men and let
them alone for if this counsel or ;hi3
work be of men. it will come to
naught; but if it be of God ye cannot
overthrow it.''. The zeal of these good
people seems to the Parson to bo not
according to knowledge. They know
neither the position of the evolutionst
apparently nor the fact that there
are no scientists so far as the Par-
son knows who do not acknowledge
that so long as they cannot produce a.
fruitful hybrid their theory is still un-
prov.en. "
wreck the other day. The Parson ex-
tends sympathies and best wishes. "
But it appears that the car ran into
a tree "in the middle of the street."
Either the car or1 the tree had no bus-
iness there.
Great men move the world. Carlylo
says in effect that universal historv is
but the sum of what they have said
and done In this world. They think
the thoughts which all men think after
them. They blaze the trail which the
multitude follow. They are the cap-
tains under whom the masses fight.
They are the discoverers and inventors
who make life easier apd pleasanter
for those who come after. They
fashion the institutions under which
men live. They aro God's messengers
bringing His word. to us. They are
God's instruments working out His
purpose. For God4wlveh lie works
with men works through men. When
in His own voice He spake the ten
Words which are the foundation of all
morality the people came and said to
Moses: "Speak thou with us and wc
will hear; but let not God speak
with us lest we die." God heard their
cry and Moses went up to the top of
the mountain continued with God
forty days and forty nights and then
delivered to Israel his ceremonial and
civil law. So. in compassion for man's
weakness God'spe'aks to him by His
brothers. 1
