Labored Under a Mistake.

Yesterday mornings Express, re-
ferring to the preaching on Alamo
Plaza, and the remark o! the preacher
that he had been told the mayor
would not permit him to preach, says:
"Now, who told those young gen.
tlemen they would be interfered with,
and for what purpose was the false
hood uttered? Who so contemplate
as to seek to injure the city, and ma
lign the community in which they
live, as to make such a base mlsrep-
resentation? The Express feels war
ranted in guaranteeing to all that,
unless travel, or business is impeded
by public demonstration, no matter
for what lawful purpose, the streets
as the salvation the young gentlemen
referred to offered in their Masters
name. Out upon those who, to graft
fly petty spite, would malign whole
community"
This mornings Express conveys the
information that the preachers were
arrested last evening because they
had no license. 1t is true there was a
claim made by the police that the
crowd was an annoyance to business,
but certainly nothing like the annoy
ance caused by the crowd who wit
ness a circus procession or big par
ade, and yet no arrests are made un-
der those circumstances. The EX-
press indignation, as expressed in its
editorial, does not seem to jibe with
the arrest. Street fakirs pay license
and are unmoles ted, will the free Cos
pei also be- licensed for money and
then the preaching be permitted?
What will the end be?

The Policeman's Defender

| Editor Daily LIGHT
Officer Chavez, who permitted him.
self to be pounded beyond recognition
by the Young ruffians whom he tried
to "quiet'' at dance, doubtless had
in mind the late conviction of a police
man at Galveston, and the later arrest
of Officer Kroeger. Well, for what
else is policeman paid S75per month,
more or less, except the amusement
of the bum's who fight in saloons and
raise rows at dances? If he uses his
"billyr on a small boy or "coon,n it
is not so bad, but woe TO him if
he uses it upon the adult
tough who terrorizes the women
at a dance. Everybody else, it
seems has right to defend himself
in this country, except policeman.
He must, forsOoth, take insult and
violence, without resentment. His
"billyn a. d revolver are merely worn
for ornament, or the intimidation of
the small boy and the "coon." Officer
Chavez, doubtless, has wife
and children, and probably de-
cided for their sake, it were bet
ter for him to take a thrashing
at the hands of the law breakers.
If he has family, how kind it
was of the toughs to leave little life
in his body, as there were probably
other sympathiZing tOughs present
TO swear against the officer they might

would have been only one policeman
less and are there not plenty more
ready to take his place? Besides, is
he not paid to step in and
take a thrashing while the women
can be removed to place of safety? |
have heard several people ask: "Why
didn't the id fool use his gum"
Suppose he had-the same people
who asked this question would have
set up howl because he did. The po-
liceman seems to be in position that
he'll be id If he does and be
id if he don't. Only good men
should be appointed on 1.-The police
force. They should use only so much
force as may be necessary to keep or
der. However, like some, do not re-
gard policeman as merely a scape-
goat for the surplus cussedness of the
entire community. When anybody
disturbs the peace, he should be asked
by the nearest policeman to desist. II
he refuses he should be arrest
ed. If he resIsts he should
be knocked on the head with the
chilly" If he shows fight and en-
dangers the life or limb of the officers
and by-standers he should be shot
and all the people should say amen.
If policemen are employed to wrestle
with toughs or be licked by them,
the people who employ them do not
understand their business.

Awakened memory sends its rays
And half in gladness, half in tears,
We greet this best of holidays.

And decks the soldiers grave with

Hiding beneath their tender leaves
The record Of its bitterest hours.
