Mexico is not -disturbed by the sit-
uation in the Tampico oH district ac-
cording to newspaper correspondents
who are on the ground. In fact calm-
ness is one of the outstanding charac-
teristics of the Mexican government
in its relations with the oil industry
of the republic.
Another reason why the railroads
are receiving less business ..than form-
erly is found in the growth of the
automobile industry Jand in the con-
struction of improved highways. Tra-
vel by auto is now far cheaper than
by train and in the opinion of most
people is far more pleasant.

A BAD LAW.
Now we see what that peace resolu-
tion did. The highest temperature of
fifty y.ears has. been registered all
over the country and Chicago people
are having to sleep in the parks.
GOVERNOR NEFP has again given
indication of his intention to ask
the : special session of the Legisla-
ture which will convene in Austin on
July ISth. to repeal the suspended
sentence Jaw or at least to amend it
so as to practically nullify it. The
repeal of the! law is a part of the
Governor's plan for law enforcement
and he has presented some startling
facts in connection with the operation
:of the statute.
jSuramins tip reports from fifty
Heading T-xa; counties covering the
operation of the suspended sentence
In the years 1019 and 19io Governor
Neff said that there were 1423 sus-
pended sentences granted while only
1059 persons were sent to the peni-
tentiary. Of the latter a total of 758
were either paroled pardoned or es-
caped from- the penitentiary. Thus
from fifty Texas counties in two years
2482 persons were found guilty of
lelonies while only 301 actually serv-
ed sentences in the penitentiary. It
is no wonder that Texas had a crime
wave in 1S20.
But the flagrant abuse of the sus-
pended sentence law does not consti-
tute the most serious criticism of the
statute. Its discrimination .against
certain classes of crime a. ridiculous
discrimination is one of the most
potent arguments for its repeal. Gov-
ernor Nefif pointed out one of the
plses of this discrimination the oth-
er day: MIf some dashing cavalier
matrimonially bent should marry two
iwives the suspended sentence offers
Tilm no aid and if convicted a peni-
'tentiary term is inevitable; but he
ican shoot both wives to death and
under the court's charge of man-
slaughter walk out of the courthouse
;beneath the shield of the suspended
sentence a free man He further
. pointed out that the bootlegger who
is convicted of selling moonshine poi-
son can obtain freedom under the sus-
pended sentence while the man who
steals a silver dollar can not claim
the privileges of the law.
.The suspended sentence law is
founded upon the sentiment thai the
fallen man should be given another
chance. The sentiment is worthy but
it is not given worthy expression in
tk susDended sentence law. The
embers of the Legislature are fa
Miliar with all the facts relative to its
abuse and to its unfairness which
have been cited by the Governor and
by others who have criticised the law.
aad they will undoubtedly respond
to the general demand for the repeal
of the measure. The structure of the
law Is so faulty that it can not be
aiiended satisfactorily and if in the
opinion of the Legislators a suspend
ed sentence law is advisable they can
fcttter fulfill the need by repealing the
presemt law and then enacting an en
tirely new measure which shall be
free from the many objectionable
ftaures of the present law.
. It is Contrary to Texas laws to con-
duct pr;ze fights or boxing exhibitions
of any' kind in this state under any
kind of an arrangement which pro-
vides for the payment of an admis-
sion fee. In several cities clubs which
have been conducting such; exhibitions
have been warned that further viola-
tios will be prosecuted.
Nowt' that the Carpentier-Dempsey
fight is a matter of history many of
the newspapers are receiving commu-
nications from Indignant readers pro-
testing against the manner in which
the newspapers "played up" the big
bout. It is a. rather shameful fact
that the "newspaper reading public can
become so much Interested in a brutal
