The Santa Fe Road.

lie Galveston Me7aS says the
negotiation of the bonds of the
Santa Fe railroad with Messrs.
DehaistowE, Cross & Co., of
London have fallen through for
the present. Legislative action
will be required before the
bonds can be handled by that
firm; meanwhile meeting of
the directory of the road has
been called for December 18th
to authorize the invitation for a
loan of $4,000 with which to
continue the work. The road
is completed to within four mil
es of Richmond and is graded
to within two or three miles of
the eighteenth mile post. 1t is
not at all likely that any cessa-
ton of the work will occur.
The directors hope to get it
completed to Bolton by next
fall. Grading is now progress
sing within twenty six miles of
our sister CITY" Bellville, and
the citizens of that place are
taking lively interest in the
road and will certainly contri-
butte to the extent of their abil-
ity to have it completed to that
place at the earliest possible
time; in fact some of them al
ready begin to feel as though
they were living in a railroad
town. The road once compile
ted to Bellville, the Brennan
peocle will begin to wake up
and take active measures to Sc
cure its completion to this place;

Publishing Sheriffs and Adj
miHistrators Sale.

We notice that the press of
Texas is again, for the twentieth
time, agitating the question of
publishing sales by Sherifs,
Administrators, etc. We were
among the first who advocated
the measures, but long since
despaired of seeing it passed
though so just and of SO much
interest. We have SO often,
also, given instances showing
the injustice of the present
law that we consider it unnee--
essary to reiterate. Texas is
the only State in the Union that
does not by law require the
publication of all legal sales,
and though in force for a long
period none of them have ever
repealed to the law-thereby
proving. it true and advaLtl-
geous to minors and creditors
An instance occurred only a
few days ago In Camp county
where ninty-two acres of valua-
bic land sold for 1913 from the
fact that nobody knew of the
sale. In this case, which is only
one of thousands occurring
yearly in Texas, an estate and
orphan children lost hundreds
of dollars by saving 81 or S.
which should have been given
the newspapers to make the
sale public. Sucha ''penny-wise
and pound foolish practice is
unworthy ofan enlightened age

RICH CRIMINALS.

says the recent murder of Capt.
Killough in Fayette county is
attracting universal attention
throughout the State. The
perpetrators of the murder are
wealthy men. 1t is a popular
belief that money will SHIELD all
such from punishment. A ray
of hope has come in the refusal
of Judge Moore to admit them
to bail, and the commentator
this act has brought forth,
shows the sentiment of the
press of Texas, at least in ref
crencc to the punishment of
criminals. The Express says
further:
Let it be known that the
eyes of justice in the State are
closed against the influence of
wealth or social position; that
the officers have only to say to
the blind goddess: Here is a
man who has committed a
crime: these are the facts in his
case" and that justice will be
meted out according to the evil
dence and punishment awarded
according to the crime commit
ted, no matter whether the GRIM
inal be wayside beggar or the
possessor of untold wealth-let
it be known that the law recog-
nizes no difference between the
high or low, the rich or poor.
and that criminals of whatever
degree must and shall be pun
ished according to their deserts
let it be known that the I'M
firing efforts of the officers of
the law and the cooperation of
every good citizen in every
community will be brought to
bear to bring every perpetrator
of crime to justice, and men
will hesitate to draw the knife
and pull the trigger. The Roths-
childs case has become a by
word and derision, and there
are many more not only in this
State but throughout the coun-
try. Let the courts throughout
the country follow the example
of JudgesMoore and say, when
criminal is brought them, 1--WE
know only this man is charged
with a crime; what evidence
have you got against him?"
Such language as the above
has the ring of the true metal.
1t has become a by-word, not
only in Texas, but throughout
the union, that man with plen-
ty of money can commit any
crime in defiance of the law.
The press of entire country has
for years been trying to instill
into the minds of the people
the necessity of an impartial
enforcement of the law.
The hanging Of half a doz-
en- wealthy men who have
committed murder and the
sending of score or two of
so-called highly respectable
gentlemen who genteely swim
die the poor out of their hard
earnings by breaking banks
and a thousand other ways, to
the penitentiaries for long terms
would do more to break up
numbering and robbing than
the hanging of a thousand ig-
norant white men and negroes
or the sending of an unlimited |
number of the same class of |
criminals to the penitentiary. |
In Scotland the swindling direc-
tors of the Glasgow bank were
arrested by common consta-
bic and put in common jail
along with common prisoners.
The offer of 100000 bail by
the friends of one of the direc- |
tors failed to procure his re-
lease. Is any one so foolish as
to suppose man could be kept
in common jail in this country
and treated as a common GRIM
inal, who could command friends
with half million dollars to
bail him out3 The idea would
be simply preposterous.
