all societies, the Peeping Tom of eV-
cry secret chamber, the unblushing
revealer of the most private Of all &C
lions. 1t is the DEVILS flashlight,
thrown without regard to sex, condi-
ton, modesty, propriety, decency or
the least regard for human rights, into
every home, into every life. You new
er know when or where or how the
fiend who manipulates it is going to
flash it upon your conunconscious po-
sition and pillory your smallest act in
the stocks it has set as snare for
your feet There is a law against car
rying a pistol or a razor concealed on
your person, but there is more real
danger in one flash of a cursed kodak
than in all the secret weapons con-
demned by law.
Not that the kodak is all this per Sc.
1t is innocent looking enough and in
proper hands is not to be condemned
as outside the pale of respectable use.
But the same can be said for the pis-
toll and the razor. There is nothing
so common or unclean that it cannot
be sanctified by proper use and there
is nothing so innocent that it cannot
be made the instrument of damnation.
But when an apparently innocent
thing has so much real adaptation to
mischievous use concealed about its
person as the kodak has, then it is
time to consider to what extent it is
best to tolerate it at all. 1t is occasion
of profound thankfulness that it was
not invented in the days when men
and women fayed alive for opinions

WHOSE DUTY IS IT?

Treasurer Herff denies that he used
any secrecy in approaching the city
hall to pay off the city employees on
Thursday He said he received orders
to be at the city hall by 4 o'clock to
pay March pay rolls. The question
arises whose duty is it to decide when
and whom the city treasurer shall
pay. It would seem that no power
short of the city council could decide
that March salaries should be paid in
preference to the months past due.
The charter only provides that the ma
yOr, auditor. recorder, marshal, city
attorney, collector, assessor, treasurer
and engineer shall receive their sala-
ries monthly out of the city treasury
at the end of each month. on warrants
drawn by the mayor, etc. The pay
ment of all others is left to the city
council. Section As, Of the charter
provides that the city council shall
have power Ito appropriate and pro-
vide for the payments of the debts and
expenses of the city" This power
seems to be exclusively with the city
council, and an ordinance should be
framed to regulate the payment of ex-
penses, other than that above cited.
The suggestion to issue city warrants,
to be numbered and registered, and
paid in the order of number, and do
ing away with the pay day" plan
which has no warrant in the city char
ter or in the ordinances, certainly is
competent under the charter power
given the council. Other Texas cities
are adopting the state plan.

A BAD ROAD.

The worst road between here and San
Antonio is right down South Flores
street in the corporate limits of the
city. 1t is a perfect shame that such
a splendid city would allow her street
to become well night impassable,a and
absolutely dangerous to loaded wa
gon. If it were outside the city limits
the grand jury would pull the road
overseer if he didn't have it fixed, and
the business men along that street
ought to pull their alderman.-Pleas-

REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN OMAHA

The municipal election in the city Of
Omaha, Nebraska, resulted in a sweep
ing victory for the Republicans.
The campaign was spirited on all
sides. The silver issue was a feature
of the campaign, the Democrats, Pop
ulists and silver Republicans combin-
ing against the straight Republican
ticket. In addition the fusion forces
used their war slogan Remember 1900
and Bryan" They opened silver
headquarters and make great flourish
but it does not seem to have counted
for much, though the Inajorities by
which the Republicans are elected are
about One-half less than McKinleys
majority over Bryan in Omaha in No
vember. The A. P. A. issue was not
altogether absent, though not so prom
inent as in the last election.

THE GALVESTON TAX PAYERS
ALIVE.

Another meeting of the protesting
Galveston taxpayers was held in Tur-
ner hall in that city on the 22nd. Mr..
John c. Walker accepted the presi-
dency of the association. In accept
ing Mr.. Walker spoke at length about
tax affairs, especially the raised as
sessments. In regard 20 the threat
not to pay taxes he said that he had
heard of this in the center of the cap
ital, with the small household as we'll
as the business men, in fact, every
where. He was not prepared to advise
it. 1T is revolutionary, gentlemen"
he said, land the last step against OPP
preston is revolution" The conse-
quences of such an act would be bank
ruptcy; the bonds would not be sold;
the city employees would not be paid,
and so on. IF the city officials Of
Galveston do not do the people Justice
that will be the result"
