A DISREPUTABLE GAME.
The National Hotel Reporter,
which claims to be the country’s
leading hotel paper, gets its sup-
port from the hotels and should,
one would naturally think, use
its influence in the interest of
the institutions that support it.
Hut it does not always do so, as
the following will show: In a
recent issue of the Reporter
there were two items that were
not in the interest of the hotels.
One item advised the people to
eat more liver and gave as a
reason that Chicago’s Health
Commiasioner had issued a state-
ment that liver is “good for the
complexion and will put roses
in xPur cheeks.” “If you don’t
like it fried’’ continues the
Health Commissioner, “you can
buy a. prepared extract of calves
livgy and make it up into liver
cocktails” As a result of this
boost by a man high in authority,
the price of liver has gone sky-
high in Chicago and the butchers
throughout the United States
take their cue from the Chicago
market. One Laredo hotel man
told this writer that he had to
pay 35 cents a pound for liver
while good steaks were selling
at 28 cents a pound. The interests
including the manufacturers of
liver extract, can afford to pay
the Chicago Health Commissioner
a handsome sum of money for his
“timely” advice. The other
item in the National Hotel Re-
porter quotes Dr. M. O. Hin-
hede. War-time Food Adminis-
trator Denmark, as saying, “If
you would live long, eat more
potatoes ” He is further quoted
as saying that, “During the War
when the Danes were forced to
subsist largely on potatoes, the
death rate dropped to the lowest
point in the Nation’s history.
The learned Doctor hands out
more euch dope and which tin-
hotel Reporter gladly bands out
to the public and the price of
potatoes goes up. Now, if the
producer received any benefit
from these rise in prices it wou’d
not be so bad, but he DOES NOT,
while the consumer must pay.
As far ns the liver proposition
is concerned, the hotel can play-
even by raising its prices and
creating enmity among its cus-
tomers. But with potatoes it is
different, as potatoes are often
served free with other dishes
and are a clear loss to the hotel.
fPo change hhe cust*fm would
create dissatisfaction among the
hotel’s patrons, so the hotel man
must take the loss and bear it.
During the World War the same
game was played by Food Die-
tator Herbert Hoover. Instead of
telling people what they should
not eat and leaving it to them
to eat what best Ruited them,
he would issue a notice telling
the people they should eat a cer-
tin food and at once the price
of that food would go soaring.
This game was played by the
Food Dictator during the entire
period of the War and to the
benefit of the interests alone.
The National Hotel Reporter
should change ita tactics and no
longer lend ita aaaistance to a
game that is highly disreputable,
to say the least.

Thomas Henry
Philips was a man whom t->
I know wa* to love, honor and
esteem. He and the writer mar-
ried sister*, but this in no way
influenu ■•* us in what me may
say in this short tribute to a
departed friend. In our day and
time we have known many
splendid men, but never have
we known a gentler spirit than
Torn Phillips or a man who was
more considerate of the feelings
of others. Selfishmess was not a
part of his nature, and he did
not know how to speak ill of
his fellowman. He lived a life of
useful toil, hut all gentleness,
and that same gentleness at-
tended aim in death for he drop
ped into a peaeeful slumber and
as he slept his spirit passed out
to Him who gnve it. A few- years
ago a dtep sorrow came into his
life and darkened his remaining
yeaia. A little daughter was
torn from him b.v a cruel ac-
cident and he never recovered
from the cruel untimely blow. He
bore his burden of grief with-
out’ a murmur yet those n- ar st
him knew that a silent sorrow
was pressing upon his heart. Had
he taken for his motto: “Let all
the ends thou aim’st at be thy
Country's, thy God’s and
Truth’s,” he could not more
nearly have lived up to it. He
was the soul of honor and played
a true man’s part in life. He was
a native of England and an
American by adoption, being
born in Liverpool on dune 3,
1871, and coming to Galveston
when 18 years of age. His illness
came upon him while sitting
at his desk in his office about
4 o’clock in the afternoon. His
wife whs notified and came and
drove him home. A physician
was summoned and did all that
he could, hut Death was linger-
ing near and at 8:45 o’clock that
evening Tom Phillips breathed
his last, the end coming without
a struggle and as quietly os tIn-
setting of a summer’s sun. To
the heart- broken wife and
daughter our heart goes out in
deepest *orrrtw. No words can
soothe their anguish, for that
must be left to time alone which
may h« al the wound although
the sears may still rema n A
devoted husband nnd an affec-
tionate father lias crossed over
the Great Divide there to wa t
under the shade of the trees for
those he loved so well in life nnd
who mourn him now in death.

TH03E PRO AGITATORS.
Bsad The Hebbronville Newt.
From now until election day
Anti-Saloon League agitators
will he traveling about over the
country employing every meuus
at their command to keep the
prohibition question alive, al-
though it was settled some years
ago when Nationwide prohibition
w«s made the law of the land
and also drafted into the Consti-
tution with the Volstead bill to
back it up. But these Anti-
Saloon League agitators have a
two-fold purpose in trying to
keep the prohibition issue alive:
They need the money they hope
to filch from unsuspecting and
misled people, and they hope
that the agitation will detract
from the real issues of the Pres-
idential campaign—the sho.t-
comings of the Republican ~Ad-|
ministration for the past eight
years. And the Republican Party
will see that the agitation is
<ept up. let eome what may,
for it does not want the people
to think too much about tl:e
real issues and they are relying
on prohibition to divert the minds
of the people.

When n lot of American tour-
itst were in Mi-xieo City a few
nights ago, a large number of
students raided the hotels at
which the tourists were stopping
and created much alarm by
smashing furniture and shouting
Death to the Gringos!” At the
request of Ambassador Morrow,
the police department finally
got th.* student mob quelled.
And the only daily paper in
Texns, a* far as we know, that
published tho News, was La
Prensa of 8an Antonio.
