THE weather clerk has again
passed over this section of the
state without frost, but the weather
wizard of st. Joe is not satisfied
and has dire prophecies of coming
extremes of heat and cold that
threaten the fruit, flowers, foliage
and crops of this blooming south
land. If no frost strikes the Texas
fruit belt this spring there will be
an immense crop.

Tom OCHILTREE and Dick Hub
bard have been lost in the shuttle.
Texas without them is not the old
Lone Star state of former times.
She feels lonesome, and while not
exactly hankering after their pres
ence would like to know what
devilment they are up to anyhow.
Their unusual silence is suggestive
of their breaking out in some very
unexpected place.

The indications now are that it
will be the other fellows that will
reduce their cotton acreage. With
a good year the crop will be larger
this year than ever. The man
who raised small grain, shoats,
hay and garden truck will find
himself far better off next Christ
mas than the man who sticks to the
tradition that cotton is king. He
is already Il dethroned king and
the possibility Of his regaining his
scepter grows smaller by degrees.

TIE Dallas charter fails to salts
fy his eXCellency, the governor, and
it is vetoed because it provides for
the licensing Of houses Of prOStitu-
ton and gambling resorts at the
discretion Of the council. There
was nothing else that the governor
could do under the laws of the
state. 1t is none the less true that
these very charter provisions are
in the line of the surest, most eff
fectual and direct methods of deal
ing with necessary evils that hith-
erto have not yielded to any at
tempt to abolish them. The best
possible under the conditions that
exist and not an ideal best is all
that can be wisely attempted by
governments.

A SOP TO CERBERUS.

The recent action of the state
| legis lature, in passing the bill tax
ing girls of twelve years and under
out of the custody of improper per-
sons, is of a piece with the enact
ment of the last legislature placing
the age of consent at twelve years.
The idea that a child of twelve is
of mature Judgment and instruct
ed mind, at least sufficiently so to
resist the seductiOns of evil that
are presented by those skilled in
leading innocence astray, is an
idea that would only present itself
to a Texas legislator. If such leg
islatiOn is at all called for then it
is so called for that it may compass
the end of its enactment. So far
from twelve years being the age at
which the special guardianship
of the state should cease
in the case of young females whom
it would save from being detached,
it is the age at which such guar
dianship should commence, to be
continued for at least four years
longer. This is so apparent to the
most ordinary comprehension that
it is wonder that fathers, broth
ers and gardians, such as make up
the membership of the state legis-
lature should not have taken safe
ground, put the age of consent two
years ago, and the age at which the
state may intervene to remove
young girls from improper custo-
dy now, at sixteen years. If
there. be any object in such
at all it is certainly that
and innocence may have
a special guard thrown around
them during those tender years in
Whlch they are not competent to
Judge for themselves, or if cOmpe-
tent without the instructed sense to
realize the consequences of certain
actions and habits aud associa-
tiOns. Now if this be the object
why defeat it in the very outset by
placing the age during which this
guardianship shall be exercised 50
low in the scale of life as to practi-
cally make the guardianship of no
effect. If the state aims to become
a special guard to the morals of
young girls it should do 50 intelli-
gently and not make a farce of the |
whole proceeding.

species of skin disease had never before
come under the observation of the hos

up the ease. The woman was too i'll to
talk about it. and no light was thrown
on the subject until the patient mother
came to the hospital to see her. She
was an old woman, born in the Austrian
Tyrol of peasant stock. She explained
how on the first day her daughter was
taken sick she had made the marks
which We're still visible on her body,

preventive against fever The instru-
ment used was a cork with hve needles

Canine Courage

Animals, as rule, understand who
their friends are. The Washington
Post tells the story of dog whose eyes
had been treated by an oculist, to his
great relief. The trouble returned, and
the dogs master determined to take
him to the oculiSt's "A second time.
Film Flam seemed to know where he
was going, for, on entering the square
where the oculist had his office, he
raced ahead of his master and up the
steps, where he had been once before,
and on the door being opened bolted
straight for the treatment-room, in
stead of waiting his turn downstairs,
as two-legged patients learn to do To
their sorrow and impatience. This time
the treatment was a zinc solution that
was very severe and brought the water
in streams from the patients eyes, but
he took it with his nose in the air,
never wincing. and the only sign of
feeling he made was to hold out one
paw pathetically for his masters hand.
