ROYE AND GLPLN

The genius of republican government
is antagonistic to paternallsm and its fos-
tering spirit would so develop individ-
ualism that every citizen will become
the couservator of good order, and the
promoter of all that tends to the best in
republicanism are at variance with the
enactment by any legislative body, of
laws or ordinances that are in any sense
sumptuary, and thereby restrictive of
that personal liberty of which the Ameri-
can citizen is especially Jealous. The
recent attempt of the common council to
prescribe hours when boys shall be al
lowed to be upon the street met its veto
from the mayor on this ground. 1t is
not the purpose of THE GAZETTE TO ar
que on the eonstitutionality or non-con-
stitutionality of this ordinance but to
utilize the fact as text that a body of
such men as compose the common coun-
ell of this city deemed it in
the line of duty to officially rec
ognIse an existing evil and use
what powers were delegated to them to
suppress as far as possible a practice
that threatened the welfare of the city
and was sapping life and stamina from
those on whose shoulders must before
long be borne the weight of office aud
the responsibilities of good citizenship.
That anyone having the guardianship
of boys should be unmindful of the fact
that they need all the protecting and re-
straining care that can be possibly
thrown around them. and that the

ders. - We have here in our midst large
and commodious stores, frst-class goods
to select from at reasonable prices and
thoroughly competent taiIors, millIners,
shoe makers, etc., and the increasing
practice of buying goods of store keep
ers, who do not in any way contribute to
the prosperity of the city is one to be
strongly condemned.
Why not spend your money where you
earn it? By so doing you enable the local
tradesman TO keep constantly in stock
larger quantity and better quality of
goods. The result cannot fail to be ben
efcial to ali concerned. There will be
no stagnation in trade if everybody
pulls together "Trade,' says a
writer in one of the great
dailies, ''is generally what mer-
chants make it. 1t is like the mind
cure theory. If all the business men
think business is going to be good, busi-
ness will be good, because everybody will
have confidence and everybody will go
ahead and buy. Stagnation is the thing
to be feared always, and nothing will so
quickly cause stagnation as a general I'M
preston that stagnation is coming. So
it Is the duty of every business man to
look on the bright side of things 1t is
equally the duty of the people to assist
in the good work.

Summer is ended; and for the next few
months the time and attention of every
body will be directed to business. It
must not be assumed, because there have
been a few financial reverses in the
commercial world that any permanent
setback is TO follow; such is not the case
Probably never before in the history of
this thriving city has the outlook been
more encouraging for workers in every
branch of industry. If the ''boom be
only taken advantage of, profitable fall
and winter trade viii surely follow.
There is one phase of the situation,
however, to which attention should be
called, and TIE GAZETTE does so purely
in the interest of our local merchants
who have done so much in the direction
of building up a prosperous community.
We refer TO the practice of some people
of patronizing merchants abroad. No
one in this city has an idea of the money
sent away for clothing, dry goods and
even groceries by people in Fort Worth.

ROBERTS COUNTY CASES.
Titles Case viii be Carried to the Supreme
Court-An Parties Anxious for
Settlements.


Correspondence of the Gazette.
MIAMI, TEX, Sept. 18.-The con-
tested election cases against the Roberts
county offices, which were moved to
Lipscomb county on a change Of venue,
have at last been decided in the district
court in the case of Parsel agains Lit
tie for the Office of county judge in a trial
by a jury and a verdict for the plaintiff.
which VIII be carried to the supreme
court. 1t is now conceded by all good
people that if the defendant had gotten
fair trial he would have won the suit, but
the court was against the defendant
III all these suits. and under his
ruling and instructions to the
jury the defendants had no show to win
the suit. All Little went to trial for was
to put his case in shape to appeal to the
supreme court, and his lawyers, who are
among the best attorneys in the state,
think they will have but little trouble in
reversing the Judgment in the supreme
court. In the other two cases the de-
PENDANTS let the court enter Judgment
aginst them without any testimony being
introduced, as they saw that fighting
them was fruitless. The judgments,
however, stands IN allegiance until the
supreme court passes on the case
against Little, and if that
judgment is reversed, they likewise stand
reversed. This has been a long and ey-
pensIve fight and all hands are glad that
the end is near, let the result be what
it may. The defendants and their
friends are content that they were legally
elected and that the offices were theirs by
rights, but are willing to submit to the
voice of the courts.
Our town is still on the improve lit
tie. We had fine rain a few days ago
and the fall range is as fine as could Do
asked.

4 MODEL REPIBLIC.

! Our republican form of government is
called a model of organic law, but from
what can be learned it is no more so than
the Swiss government, which it is very
unlike. The present constitution of
Switzerland was adopted in 1913, and it
is most unique and interesting one. A
brief description of it has never appear
ed IN THE GAZETTE, and it will repay
reading. First, it has no president.
The execu tive department consists of a
/ federal council, composed of seven MEM
bers. They are elected for a term of
three years by the Swiss congress, or
federal assembly, as it is called Each
| of the seven has a particular part
| of the government to look after. The
federal assembly elects one OF the
seven president of the executive council,
and another one of them vice-p president.
The president and executive council also
serves as president of the confederation,
but his duties in this capacity consist
only in receiving foreign representatives.
He appoints no postmasters nor anybody
else. His salary is S27OO. The federal
assembly is made up of two houses The
lower house is called the national council
and Is elected for three years. The upper
house is the council of states. In
Switzerland there are twenty-five can
tons, which correspond IN measure to
our states. Each canton sends two
senators to the council of states, who
are not paid by the general gov eminent,
but by their own cantons, unless the
assembly sits during a recess. Mem
bers of the national council are paid
from the general fund, and receive 81 a
day for actual service Mileage is al
lowed. The judiciary department con-
sists OF nine judges elected for six years
by the federal assembly. The most in
teresting feature of the Swiss govern
ment is the famous referendum, by which
political parties are rendered of no avail
in Switzerland. By taking advantage of
it the Swiss people at large are able
themselves at any time to change their
constitution. It is the survival of an an
cient historic right of free people. The
referendum means what it indicates
referring, and to the people. If so 900
SWISS citizens ask for a revision OF the
Swiss constitution, then the question is
submitted to the whole people and voted
on, and the whole people decide whether
they want a revision. If the two legisla-
tive houses cannot agree on a revision,
this, too, is at once submitted to a vote
of the people. If a law passed by the
Federal assembly is of questionable util-
lty, and 30 200 citizens petition for the
referendum, the whole people vote on
the law, and they may decide that they
do not want it in the very teeth of the
assembly that has just passed it. Thus the
people themselves, and the people only,
have the veto power in their own hands.
They themselves are their own final tri-
bunal. These are the principal features
of a government that has for its fruits
greater general prosperity or diffusion of |
moderate welfare, more widely ditfused |
education of the primary sort, and
greater degree of popular content than
can be found in any country on earth.

THE MAYOR CALLS A MEETING,

Which He Thinks VIII Be Private, Although
Concerning Interests of Dallas.
Dallas News.i
The following IS copy, or at least the
substance, of a notice sent out by Mayor
Conner yesterday to some, so report goes,
FIVE hundred citizencs of Dallas:

You are urgently requested to be at my
office, in the city hall, at p m. to-mor-
row to consider matter of great import
ance to Dallas. Respectfully,

Mayor of Dallas.
A reporter of the News learning that
the notice had been sent out, saw Mayor
Connor and asked him if members of the
press would be admitted, or rather
whether the meeting would be private1oT
public, and he said he thought of course
the meeting would be private. n
The News, whose record shows it is in
terested in anything of interest to 5lallas,
was not served with a notice-pFobably
an oversight.

degrees cooler in summer than the cities

has temperature twenty degrees warm

The non-appearance in the Fort Worth
GAZETTE and Dallas News OF any men
ton whatever of the action of the Cum
berland Presbyterian synod in session at
Fort Worth last week, in reference to the
selection OF Weatherford as the place for
the location Of the seminary of that de-
nomination, has been the subject of much
unfavorable comment among the readers
of those papers in this city. The selec-
ton of the place for this state institute
was certainly one of the most important
acts of the synod, and Weatherford being
candidate, among many others, for this
very enyiable distinction her citizens
naturally felt deeply interested in the re-
suit of that particular part of the synod
proceedings, and hence eagerly scanned
each days report in both these morning
dailieS, without, however, as already
stated, finding a word in either paper
about this particular part of the synod IS
proceedings. The omission in THE Ga
ZETTE was easily accounted for, but in
the News the cause was not so readily
OWNED. Sunday IS issue of the News,
however, in measure compensated
for its previous ominous shortcomings
as it contained Weatherford
special from its Irregular correspondent
giving full details, not only of the ac-
ton of the synod in the premises, but
also of the proposed plans of the board
of trustees in regard to the selection of
the site for the college buildings and

are attracting some of the best instruc-

follows such investigation. 1t is proper
