man of our state executive committee,
the careful consideration of your ad-
ministratiOn. His loyalty to the prin-
ciples of the Republican party and to
the claims of the ex-Union soldiers to
recognition, together with his sense of
justice justified the suggestion which
we make in no offensive sense and
without disparagement of the claims
of others that your administration will
not err in it's policy towards Texans
if it will consider the suggestions that
may come through him as the repre-
sentative of the great party and which
every man in this state who wore the

Washington dispatch SAYS:
All of the executive departments of
the government are receiving large
numbers of letters from eX-sOldiers, in
dicating general misunderstanding as
to their rights to appointment to office
Many of the veterans who are after
office seem to labor under the impress
sion that they can be appointed to po-
sitiOns in the civil service without the
fOrmality of the examination or requi-
sition of the civil service commission.
This is largely due to the fact thatthe
law provides that ex-sodiers within
the civil service who resign or who are
displaced for cause othc" than their
own fault may be re-instated to their
old positions at any time. The law how
ever makes no provision giving pref
erence to soldiers in entering the gov
eminent service who have not been in
the civil service before, except that of
officials making acquisitions on the civ
il service commission for list of ELI
gible appointees may may favor the
veterans who may happen to be on the
list.

THE KODAK FIEND.

Easter has come and gone. The ILL
les in their beauty no longer stand up
on the altar rails and make glad with
their pureness and their suggestive
their pureness and suggestions Of the
life everlasting. 1t is the season OF
the summer girl and of picnics and of
kodaks, from which last in the Ian
guage of the ritual " God Lord deliver
u.s." Where the guardian angel Of the
overstrained humanity was slumber-
ing when he permitted the intrusion
of this fiend into the garden Of human
content and peace, is one Of those
things concerning which the ages past
are dumb. That he was slumbering or
otherwise off his guard is self evident,
else would he never have permitted
such an invasion of the cradle of hu-
mainly over which he had been estab-
lished guardian and protector.
There is a suggestion of babarism
in the very name, kodak. 1t sounds as
though it came fresh from the steppes
of Russia and was not used in civil
lied company. 1t smells of rancid furs
and calls up visions of gloomy wintry
plains and bowling wolves and dirty
peasants. AS you see its muzzle turn
ed toward the unsuspecting victim of
its betrayal it reminds with more force
than pleasantness of the bulls eye of
the detective. 1t is the dark lantern
of the uniformed police of the artist
ic saturnalia. A licensed policeman,
regularly appointed as the guardian
of the peace, one can have respect for,
but one of the secret deceptives, usual
ly Galley detectives, who smell out all
rottenness for pay, there is no use for
them on earth.
The kodak is the secret spy of the

ALDERMAN JOHNsoN's PROPOSE
TION.

Alderman Johnson has submitted a
proposition to the city council to remit
interest and penalty on back taxes if
paid before the LIST of June. This kind
of legislation has been used before and
abandoned because it did not produce
results.
The prompt Taxpayer feels aggriev-
ed when special favors are shown to
delinquents, and public sentiment gen.
orally condemns any deviation from
the rule of treating all alike. Delin-
quent Taxpayers have been study in
other cities besides San Antonio. The
plan of allowing rebate, on early pay
ments, has been found to work well.
This system rewards the prompt tax
payer, while the remission of interest
and penalties rewards the delinquent.
Lower taxes and better times will be
about the only relief to our heavy de-
linquent list.

city administration, and it does look
very much like a German administra-
ton. This being so we may expect that
success that should follow from an ad-
ministration dominated by the repre-
sentatives of the most stable element
of our population. AS taxpayers, our
German citizens occupy the front rank
and the fact that the administration
is decidedly German makes it quite
reasonable that they will cheerfully
pay the raised tax rate without pro-
test. The Germans leading the way, it
will be in order for all the other tax
payers to follow suit. Mayor Gala
CHAN has acted very shrewdly in the
selection of his colaborers, in view of
the fact that an increase of taxes was
contemplated.
