There seems to be a very foul
spring in the road on South Cen-
ter street just off the square.
Leastwise water has stood there
constantly for several’ months,
even during the very dry weath^
er. Tne color and odor is not
inviting. We call the attention
of our mayor and anyone inter-
ested m the general health of the
community^to this place, which
is vile enough to poison the whole
neighborhood.; .
The D*a£i>yers of the Confed

sons and daughters of Confeder-
ates would do well to copy for

organization, we have the sons

From the county attorney’s
office last week came the report
that over a hnndred cases against
keepers of bawdy houses, would
be dismissed for want of prose-
cution. The statement said that
a special prosecutor employed
by private parties bad the facts
and he would not proceed with-
out his salary was continued.
Evidently this statement sound-
ed too bold to the county attor-
ney. who neft day had the report
corrected to read that the special
prosecutor would dismiss be-
cause be hadn’t the evidence,
Strange how the new broom

A special dispacth irom Austin
dated the 4th inst.,says the senate
finally passed a bill creating a
state text-book board of five
teachers appointed by the gover-
nor and state superintendent of
education. We are in favor of a
text-book bill, but were not in
favor of the bill as it was first
presented, but how it looked af-
ter the senate had completed its
eight-hour fight over it or wil
look when finally passed we do
not know. One of the objection-!
al features in the bill offered is
that it orovides for the adoption
of books for a period of ten years.
We believe a five-year term long
enough in this progressive age,
for we want live, progressive
methods in our school, and ten
years is the whole of a child’s
public school life. Give th^m
the most advanced, approved
methods, and do not tie them to
books for ten years, which in
wo year’s time -may be found
wholly unsuited to the demand.
But the greatest and hardest
kick we have at the bill is that
clause or section which provides
for the readoption of books now
under contract. Words cannot
express our indignation at the
committee who tied The present
selection of books upon our chil-
dren. We know nothing of the
graft connected with the selec-
tion, but graft there certainly
must have been, for some of the
books are so poorly and cheaply
out up, they will not last an ordi-
narially careful pupil through the
time required to complete the
book. The arithemetic used in
the low third and continued at
least through the foui th grade is
wholly unsuited for the work of
pupils of that age, and we have
failed to find one word of com^
mendation for this book from
parents woo have . interested
themselves in their children’s
work. The geography is a very
well turned out book from the.

Our President Wednesday,
sent a telegram to President
Diaz in which he says “the mili-

no significance which should
cause concern to Mexico.” It is

bat the author has not put the
questions in a form to be easily
grasped by the beginner, and the
maps are poorly marked, refer-
ences are made to maps many
pages in advance of the lesson to
be studied, and upon refering to
these maps they are found to be
cat m several pieces, and a por
tion of Alaska will be found in a
corner just below Lower Cali-
fornia. Advanced pupils 'are
perfectly capable of placing this
detached northwestern peninsula
in its proper place by the mind’s
eye, but with a beginner, such a
feat is hardly possible, and in-
stead of placing the high peaks,
the riyers, and caoes where they
belong on the extreme northwes-
tern coast, a question as to their
whereabouts will frequently
elicit the answer “In that part of
Alaska just south of Lower Cali-
fornia.” The third and fourth
readers are very hard the selec-
tions are mostly from standard
authors but are not adapted to
the pupils in these granes. Of
the books above the fifth grade
we cannot speak. Now why
should these publishers be given
preference over others. If their
works are good they will com-
mend themselves even in a field
with many competitors. If they
are unworthy why shield them
from competition, and burden
our children? We have no fav-
orite .books, no publishers to
push, but we have a great inter-
est in the school children of the
The news from Washington
last Saturday that Senator Bailey
had resigned created the keenest
interest all over Texas, of course,
but it is doubtful if it created as
much interest anywhere as it did
here in Austin, where so many
of those who have taken a promi-
nent part for or against him are
assembled. His friends were
made very sad by the news and
their first hope was that he would
recall his resignation. His*
enemies were pleased at the
news, but fearful lest he should
withdraw his resignation. Most
of those opposed to him were of
the opinion that Senator Bailey
had no intention of quitting the
Senate at this time; that it was
a piece of politics and that bis
object was to get another ‘ vindi-
cation” at the hands of the Legis
lature. Pis withdrawal of 'the
resignation before the day was
ovfr therefore occasioned no
great surprise.
If Senator Bailey had insisted
On his resignation taking effect
there is no telling how long it
-would have taken the Legislature
to elect his successor. Both
branches of the Legislature are
controlled by the pros and a ma-
jority of the members are follow-
ers of Senator Bailey. In the
Senate he has a strong majority,
but in the House it is closer, be-
ing about 72 to 61. Mr. Bailey
numbers among his friends in
the Legislature both pros and
antis, but among his friends the
antis are largely in the majority.
It would* have been hard for them
to get together on a candidate on
account of the question of prohi-
bition. With but few exceptions,
the members of the Legislature
who are opposed to Senator Bai-
ley are prohibitionists, but as the
anti-Bailey men here are in the
minority, they could not have
named a United States Senator
without helo from among the
pro followers of Mr. Bailey,
which of course they could not
have obtained it they persisted

Who Are “ They "?
By a Special Correspondent.
We all bave a way of saying
they say” this or that of some
person or some thing and accept-
ing it ourselves as authentic when
someone says “they say” to us.
But if we stopped to inquire
into the exact source of the in-
formation, either we would be
unable td trace it back to anyone
other than that elusive individual,
“ They Say,” or we will find back
of it the unkind gossip of some
enemy.
And just because “ they say”
fails to put the blame of a false-
hood on any one person’s shoul-
ders it really is the most danger-
ous ot statements and one of the
nardest to refute.
So let us beware of believing
“they say” stories. Let us treat
lightly all gossip introduced by
the words “they sav.” Or if
this gossip makes us suspicious
of its object—and it is natural

The fact that Congress failed
to pass a Congressional re-appor-
tionment bill at the recent ses-
sion > made it certain that this
Legislature would not carve out

that such a bill will be passed

Congress, which, convenes on
April the 4th, or the regular ses-
sion, which opens in December,

which Texas will probably get

I still believe in economy in
>ublic affairs, but I am now
horougbly convinced that a ma-
jority of the members of this
Legislature do not agree with,
me, or at least that their brand
of economy is' not as economical
as mine. I hoped in the begin-
ning of this session to get
hrough a bill practically abolish-
ing the fee system of paying
county officials and which would
lave reduced the salaries - in the
arger counties. Not a bill has
been passed to reduce the fees or
salaries of any officials, but sev-
eral have passed to increase the
compensation of certain office
lolders. One of these is a bill to
increase the allowance made to
sheriffs for feeding prisoners
confined in the jails, and it had
no provision to insure any better
are to the prisoners.
Representatives Williams and
Jarmon have introduced a bill to
create a new criminal district

incidental expenses of a move-
ment of thin magnitude. They
have sprang, undoubtedly, a very
expensive maneuver.

probably written a hundred and

I am thoroughly convinced that
large majority of the people o
we know. In other words, let
us do the object of “ they say ”
the justice to investigate until we
find someone who is in a position
from actual knowledge and whom
we can trust, to make a positive
statement over his own name as
to the truth or falsity of the
“they say ” story.

Truth About Coca-Cola.” That
