Galveston Tribune: Last Mon
day fifteen beautiful school girls
from California were received by
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago.
They ranged in age from fourteen
to eighteen. His honor, at the
end of the audience, began with
the youngest and kissed them up
to the eldest. 1t is said that they
went away happy. But how about
Carter? How did he feel? How
does his family feel? And is this
going to be precedent? If so,
who would not be a mayor?
Port Lavacaean: "There are en-
tirely too many wind-jammers and
too few men of brains at Austin,
and matters of a political nature
are always given the preference
over measures pertaining to the
material we'll being of the people
of the state. This empire common
wealth suffers entirely too much
from backwoods or East TeXasism,
and it is not strange that the dis
gusted people of the Panhandle
have started a division movement.
Rampant disgust is not alone con-
fined to that booming section"
Sherman Register: Twenty
eight special examiners in the
pension bureau were given their
walking papers day or two since.
They were all Republicans and
their places will be filed by DEM
Gratis. Secretary Smith has good
eye and is evidently keeping it
fastened upon Republican office
holders.
Brennan Banner: The income
tax is a permanent feature of the
British financial system, is consid-
cred equitable and just and there
is no talk of ever abandoning it. 1t
is coming in this country.
Palestine Advocate: Senseless
depositors are making runs on
banks all over the country, caus-
ing many of these financial insti-
| buttons to succumb. In many in
stances the banks are in a per-
fectly sound condition, but the de-
positors become excited and the
result is disaster.
| Two Republics: Bridgeport, Ct,
wants more light on public affairs,
and objects to the habit, which its
city council has, in common with
a great many other city councils,
of discussing public matters in
secret session.
Ell Paso Herald: "Itappears from
the rustling going on that the en-
dorsement for postmaster that was
to be given to John Harper byRep-
resentative Cockrell had a string
tied to it, and the trip of Editor
Mckee and Hon. II. NJ. Patterson
to Arson has caused the string to
be pulled and it is now given out
that the Jefferson Democratic club
is to have something to say about
the matter.
Dallas Times Herald: The Times
Herald wants it understood that it
is at all times the champion of
woman and desires to inform the
public that Mrs. Rodney is making
fine progress in her walk from Gal
weston to Chicago and expects to
win the wager of $4,000, which is
the stimulating motive for such an
unusual and arduous undertaking.
She is now in Kansas City and if
she can keep out of the way Of the
grasshOppers, her short-haired sis
tiers and the prohibition cranks,
who infest the state, she will reach
Chicago by the first day of August.
San Angelo Enterprise: at has
come to light, in the case of Pete
Meigs, now serving life sentence
at Huntsville, that the man who
he is alleged to have murdered is
very much alive. Meigs was con-
victed on circumstantial evidence.

have been in his present unpleas-
ant position, and consequently is
only the victim of his own ig-
norance of the custom of the coun-
try"
