of the state, ignoring their rights
and privileges, have passed GER
tain useless and unjust laws.
This is a matter that can never be
settled by controversy or perse
cution. The only way in which
it can be decided is in the higher
courts and 1t is the duty Of their
opponents to make the fight for
their side. Then, and then only,
will the saloon men make their
defence. The Sunday law men,
however, do not seem dispOsedtO

"Many of our old men, saws
an old citizen, "will remember
Henry Lewis, the brother of Nat
Lewis and the uncle of the ex.
district clerk. He was a LAWYER.
OF good repute and was consider.
ed one ofthe best criminal LAWYERS
OF his day. He was sharp and
dearly rellshed a joke. Two good
stories are told of him. One is
that he was engaged to defend a.
man named Abernethy who
feloniOusly wounded Mexican.
There was only one witness, a
german lady, who could not in
IDENTIFY the features of the accus.
ed but, unfortunately, he wore a
peculiar hat and there was only
one hat of that shape in the city
and the lady recognized the hat.
Here was the difficulty and Henry
Lewis saw and recognized it.
When the trial came on Abernethy
was wearing the same hat and
Lewis saw that it would give him
away. Now there happened to
be a lawy er in court at the trial
who was considerably under the
alcoholic influence and Lewis quiet
ly took his hat and placed Aber-
nethy's hat on his head. In those
days they were not particular on
uncovered heads in court and this
was all right. The german lady
witness was called and gave her
testimony.She was asked By Lewis
whether she saw the guilty one in
court and to point him out. She
looked around and said YAH,
pointing to the drunken lawyer
who wore Abernethy's hat. This
SoNuSOu q oCAcdIIOu Uul lHc law CG
proved an alibi and Abernetby
was declared not guilty" Lewis
was afterwards under an atflictiOn
Of mania pOtu and Was declared
insane and his brother, Nat, was
deputed to take him to the Austin
asylum for incarceration. Henry
was not so bad as they thought
and while travelling, overland, he
managed to get Mats commit
ment and other papers. When
tn ey arrived at the asylum Nat de-
livered Henry to the Superinten-
dent but Henry showed the
papers and gave good reason for
believing that Nat was suffering
from an hallucination of suppos-
ing that he was the other fellow.
AS a result the Superintendent
held Nat, and Henry drove back
to San Antonio and it took Nat
some trouble to prove to the off.
Gals that they had got the wrong
man."

laughed heartily. Then he said
"we'll 60 over to Ed. d. andyou'll

We went there and F. commenced
the old gag on Ed. He was busy

Independent of the killing of Jack
Harris by Ben Thomson and the

1t was here that Philips killed
Captain Hunter over an old feud
and here too the fatal difficulty
occurred between DR.. Devine,

an election quarrel and Mcdonald

policeman too is a public servant
and, unquestionably, does good in
his way but he has neither the
chance that newspaper man has
to warn men or to guide them in

to ride free at all times and on all
occasions but no such courtesy is

has to pay or get out. l don't |

favOrS should return them. And
the Street car companies are
sharp enough to realize this!
1t is generally believed that,
while in this country it is suppos-
ed that all men have equal rights,
there is one law for the rich and
one for the poor and this opinion
is confirmed by very strong facts.
1t is no unusual thing to see rich
criminals escape the penalty of
their crimes by the use of money
and influence, and that scandals
are in the like manner suppressed.
Even in our own district court
suits are docketed in blank, and
the papers are retained by the
lawyer, in order to prevent a re.
porter giving due publicity to the
facts of the case, but the poor
man would be Immediately dock
eted and roasted to the death for
crimes that are far less than those

again local rich man can get on
a spree and he will receive the
cOurtesies of the police even to
taking him home in a hack and
then, If it is necessary to run him
in for his own protection or for
that of the public, he.is docketed
under a false name, his attorney
pleads guilty for him. He pays
his fine and escapes exposure.
The poor man however, gets it in
the neck and is fully exposed
even though exposure be the
greatest part of the penalty for
his offence. Who shall then say
that this is just or that all men
are equal, even before the law?

The Sunday law men have
spoken and to- their credit be it
said, they have given the names
of their committee so that the
citizens have an open adversary
instead of a concealed one. Thus
far this is good but the committee
seem to show al idea of "hOlding
with hare and running with the
hounds" In other words they
decline to act and desire the
officers to shoulder the work and
Opprobium of offensive action.
Nay more, they demand this I'M
der the threats of prosecuting
the officers for neglect of duty.
Here the committee act in a
cOwardly and erroneous way. If
they know that laws are violated
and should and can be enforced,
it would be more just and con.
sistent for it to file an affidavit
against the offenders and to pros.
ecute them as they have a right to
do, if their position is correct,
bnt they have no right to ask the
officers to do that which they de.
cline to do themselves.

This MORNINGS advertiser said that
the STAR had reduced its size. As usual
in its enviOus comments on this paper
the advertiser blundered. The STAR has
made no change except to increase the
sum of its contents.
In another culunn the Advertiser said
that its extra contained eight and q
quarter columns of reading matter as
against two and "a half in this journal.
In point of fact. the STAR got out two
extras yesterday. one in advance of the
advertiser, in which it gave the most
important news. This extra was set in
small type solid" Later the Adcer-
tiser appeared in large type Headed, a
process of padding which makes little
