LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SAVERS, who
has been in the city several days
as defendants counsel in a murder
trial, Is very properly always received
with much kindness by the people of
Austin, with whom he has always
been associated on the most friendly
terms. Among these people, are many
who have known him intimately from
boyhood; and here, too, are many Of
his old army associates, who remember
him as brave and generous soldier
and a noble officer. Then, too, there
are those who have known him in So
cial and business life, who regard
him as true friend, and
correct and considerations man,
while there are many who admire his
course in political life, and who I'M
qualifedly endorse his acts. And this
is not all. Sayers has been the earnest
friend of the people of Austin under
all circumstances. He has earnestly
endorsed its public men, and has
served them under all circumstances.
He has been the devoted friend of
Hancock in every race he has ever
made for Congress. He he's been
Major Walton's friend and supported
him even against Major Boone, his
old army associate. lie was the
friend of Col. ZmpelmaD, when
this gentleman asked the position
of State Treasurer, and when
as Lieutenant Governor he organized
the Senate, our state senator, Judge
Terrell, was extended the highest hon
or at his disposal, that of chairman of
Judiciary Committee No. /. It is ex-
ceedinglY proper that Lieutenant Gov
honors by the people of Austin, to
whom he has allied himself, even at
times in opposition to those of his own
town and community.

THE STATESMAN said that the whip
ping post should be established, and
"long and tedious trials in courts,
with maintenance of prisoners in jails, -
dispensed with in the punishment OF
criminals for minor olfenses. An ex-
change thinks we would thereby deny
justice and punish without trial.
How Is it in mayors and recor-
ders' courts, where q person COM
mits en- oifense one day and is
tried and punished the next 2 II
a legislature can not be found with
brains. enough to provide a plan by
which such criminals may be speedily
tried and punished, then the argument
against the STATEsN1ANs position is
good. If cases where thirty-nine
lashes is the punishment must necessa-
rily drag along through courts all the
expensive machinery and luxury of a
Rothschild case, let US henceforward
and forever be saved from legislatures.
If what has been accomplished by the
Legislatures OF other states so easily is
above the comprehension of Texas
legislature, let US plttiably dissolve
our state government and ask for an
nexation to Mexico.

Mr.. REAGAN, it appears. dces not
take the defea. of his inter-oceanic
commerce bill with kindness. A special
to the st. Louis Republican says that
in consequence of the action of the
Commerce Committee, of which he is
chairman, this gentleman made re-
marks rtfectlng upon the motives that
had led to the committeeman rejecting
his bill. Members of the committee
called him to task, when be modified
his language. and next be is credited
with ssyiug the committee wss packed
to defeat the bill. Speaker Randall,
on the eleventh, called ON Mr.. Reagan
for an explanation, which the latter
said he would make. Members of the
committee who opposed the bill, says
the dispatch, are much incensed, and
have considered the propriety OF pass
ing resolution Of eensure upon their
chairman, which, slthoHehit viii hard
BY be done. would result in his resigns
zion from the committee. While a mu
jorlty OF the committee Yo,ed .sgainst

1HE y snroe doctrine was Rnnouncs d
by Pceaf6ent Monroe in his message OF
December 2, 1923. II this memorable
document he deprecated interference
by the Un;tsd States government in
European affairs, but at the same time
he declared as +" dangerous to our peace
and safety" an attempt on the part of
European powers TO "extend their
system to any portion OF this hemi-

and hence meets with much opposition.
While Mr.. Monroe's opinions have LIVED
in the miEds of his countrymen, i,
would be folly at this time to try TO
enforce them sgsinst sany determin-

But there is no denying the fact that

secure his defeat as a candidate for

SENATOR BLAIR, of New Hamp-

the Northeast prefer Hayes to Grant.
In explanation be says: ga third
term is Objectionable; if it is forced
upon the party it will require two
thirds of the time of every Republican
orator to combat the prejudice that
many Republicans hold against such an
invasion of our traditions as third
term is, and two-thirds of the space in
the Republican newspapers will have ,
be surrendered to like service, for
any orator on the Democratic side, if
he is well versed IN history, can readily
alarm the popular mind, by dilating
upon the danger that he may portray
as lurking II third term as step to-
wards making a permanent executive
or limited monarchy, and it will be
almost impossible to allsy popular ap-

The Chicago Inter Ocean, which
takes special interest in Grant, and
which keeps member of its staff in
attendance upon HIM, gives one of the
reasons why the ex-President should
be the candidate of the Republicans,
when 1t SAYS: "We do not believe that
any Republican candidate fairly elect
ed will allow himself to be counted
out; but we know, aid the people
know, that If Gen. Grant is chosen lie
aoiU take the office, and all thought OF
conspiracy will melt away under the
influence of man whose simple word
would call to his side a half-mll-
lion of veteran soldiers" Thus
Congress is ignored. and the bare
conclusion of the man is to be the ulti-
matum, whether the people or Congress
coincide with him or not. 1t is to be
a question of force, and let US rest as
sured that when the presidency is thus
decided the people will never again be
permitted to express themselves.

night after night and watched. ou'

The fact that McElrauh remained in
good health, and gained, Instead of lost
flesh, and oDtinued to VI ork hard daily
throughout the summer season, was
something that philosophers and physi-
cans alike could not explain. McEi-
rs'h was indeed phenomenon, and
his cGse without parallel. He was
positive thst he did not sleep, and an
Vited investigation. But his hours OF
waketulness came to al ending on FRI
day night Of last week, when, for the
frat me in over eleven years, he slept
one long, delicious sleep, and awoke,
on the following morning, refreshed
and happy. Words were made quate to
express his feelings, both of surprise
and pleasure. Since then he has slel t

rath was born in the north of Ireland.
