Many New Laws are Effective
June 11th being the ninetieth
clay since the adjournment of the
tegular session of the thirty-
second Texas legislature, several
important laws passed by that
body will go into effect*
One of the laws to go into ef-
fect is House bill No. 8, which
provides for the revision of the
marriage laws relating to the is-
suance of licenses. The amend-
ment provides that in case the
female is under 18 and the male
under 21 years of age the written
consent of the parent or guardi-
an must be obtained.
Another new law going into
.effect is House bill No. 203,
which provides for additional
fees for petit and grand jurors
in criminal cases. The law will
now be Chat the jurors in crimi-
nal cases will receive $2.50 per
diem instead of $2, as heretofore
■ Another law of much interest
to many will be amendment of
the existing anti-pass law.
Senate bill No. 51 of the last
legislature provides for the reg-
ulation of the time of holding the
regular sessions of the commis-
sioners’ court, so that this court
may meet once a month, and
providing for emergency meet-
ings.
Criminal Negligence.
Criminal negligence is just as
bad, and in a sense worse, than
intentional murder, because nine
out of ten causes of death are
due to it, where there is one pre-
meditated murder. You never
■looked at it that way, did you?
Who is responsible for so many
deaths anyway? If you are guil-
ty of throwing filth out in the
open, if you keep your slop un-
covered, if you sweep your trash
out for the wind to blow over
town, if your outbuildings are
not kept in sanitary condition, it
is murder. Not intentionally,
but it is just the same, as far as
the result is concerned. Slop
jars ought not to be uncovered
for flies to breed in and scatter
disease and death over town.
No dish water ought to be thrown
in the back yard to raise flies on.
Its getting the time of year when
filth and flies go hand in hand
and scatter disease and disaster.
You are violating the town or-
dinance when you neglect to
keep your premises clean and the
Record hopes that the new coun-
cil and marshal will enforce the
law to the letter.—Rocky Record.
State Gaard To Mobilize.
Austin, Texas, June 8.—The
Adjutant General today issued
the official order to the members
of the Texas National Guard call
ing on them to mobilize at Aus
tin August 7, to remain in camp
until August 16, for the annual
.State encampment.
The order reads as follows:
1. The Texas National Guard
'Will be mobilized for maneuvers,
• near Austin, August 7, 1911. The
tour of duty will close August 16,
1911. All troops will attend
armed, uniformed and equipped
•for field service.
2. All line and field officers
will be required to attend, except
■ such as may be on other active
duty, under orders. Such staff
■officers will report as may be de-
railed.
3. General orders will be is-
sued to cover all matters of de-
tail, so soon as general plans are
perfected.
D. H'. Watson reports the sale
of 320 acres of the Denson
ranch for $7,000, and is now on a
deal with other parties to dispose
of the remainder of that proper-
ty which originally contained
about 2400 acres.
Agriculturist and Farmer.
The editor of the Lampasas
Leader defines the difference be-
tween a “farmer” and an “agri-
culturist,” as follows: “The far-
mer makes money on the farm to
spend in the city, while the agri-
culturist makes money in the city
and spends it on the farm.” The
Leader editor classes himself as
“agriculturist,” but admits to a
yearning to join the ranks of the
farmer. However, if he is “mak-
ing money in the city,” as he ad-
mits “agriculturists” do, he
ought to be satisfied, as that is
more than the average newspaper
man is doing these drouthy times.
—Brownwood Bulletin.
Not much money to be made by
either class under present condi-
tions, but with a 12 acre patch of
oats which put 400 bales of hay
in the barn, two splendid jersey
cows, seven head of Duroc jersey
hogs to make meat and consume
the surplus milk, with the income
from the paper, the editor has
never joined the pessimistic gang
which always seems to think the
country will go to the bow-wows,
in spite, of the efforts of both far-
mers and agriculturists.
Depend on This.
Some of the press of the state
seem to be laboring under a mis-
understanding of the recent de-
cision of the court of criminal ap-
peals in what is known as the
club cases. The court in holding
that bona fide clubs organized
for social or some scientific pur-
pose might dispense liquor to its
members where the dispensing
of liquor was merely an incident
to the club’s operation, especial-
ly stated that it could be done
only where the sale of liquor was
not forbidden. In older words,
where saloons have been voted
out by the people no club can
sell liquor to its members or any-
body else.—Wills Point Chroni-
cle.
Being as how the editor of the
Chronicle is a seasoned member
Let The Children Be Happy.
In the home life never forget
that the children have social
rights, and the chief among these
is the right to laugh when they
are happy, to cry when they are
unhappy and to make a noise. A
healthy child is always active. It
must jump and scream, cry when
it gets hurt. To keep it still
means unhappiness, and almost,
if not quite, death. Let the chil-
dren be gay. This is their ele-
ment. We always class children,
birds and flowers together. And
why? Because—they should be
equally beautiful, innocent and
happy. We should not rob child-
hood of its ideal loveliness. Even
old’ people should be gay and
happy and good; top good to
overcloud the children’s horizon
with angry eye and lowering
