The committee appointed November
Is to report on plan for organizing
a press club in this city met at the Of

decided that he a success the club
must make business and professional
men eligible to membership.
Those present at the meeting were.

Gould. Consul c. w. Kindrick and
John Sneed.
1t was agreed that several hundred
members of such an organization
could be easily obtained in this city
and the dues should be about 81 per
month. The organization is to be
purely social and for the purpose of
bringing together and uniting the
press representatives of the city and
for the furtherance of the commercial
interests of FL Paso. AS all business
men are vitality interested in the work
of the press it was deemed advisable to
appoint a committee to solicit out
siders to join the club. This COM
mittee will work for a certain period

Chicago has started a ball rolling
country. and IL will not gather any
moss either. but il will gather impetus.
! ne occasion is a proposition that the
legislature shall reorganize the pres
ent system of peace justices and con-
stables. and the contention on the part
OF the leading Chicago dailies is that
the system should he entirely done
away with. The Chronicle says IN this
connection:
The poorest citizen of Illinois is en-
titled to justice speedily. without be
ing compelled To pay an eNorbitant
price for il. The justice shop.
which has been called the poor man
court" ought to be made rs dignified.
as able and as free from corrupt in
fiuences as the highest court of the
state. The horde of harpies called con-
stables should he swept away and their
duties assigned to decent and humane
men not dependent on fees. but re
ceivers of adequate salaries for the
faithful performance of their duties.
The abuse is a great one. IL has been
before referred to in these columns. In
our own city we have frequent occa-
sion TO observe the iniquity of the sys-
TEN. II is not intended to convey the
impression that there is any personal
grievance against the justices and con-
stables in this city. as seems to be the
case in Chicago. On the contrary the
average of men in these capacities is
probably above the usual standard. But
the system has grave faults. and it may
be that we have kept this ancient in
stitution too long in our judicial sys-
TEN. AS general rule 1t may be set
down as an axiom that the fee system
of compensation for public service is
bad.

and foremost among all the regulations
that are needed to preserve the public
health are rules against indiscrimi
nate expectoration. Such rules should
be rigidly enforced. and no false SEN
timent of delicacy should stand in the
way of such enforcement Doctors
should be requested to instruct their
patients to observe the simple rules of
cleanliness in this regard. and to that
end they should be provided by the
city with cards containing brief need
full regulations for the public safety.
tients
FL Paso has an anticipating ordi-
nance. There is no evidence of it in
public. In its characteristic way the
city council passed the ordinance. and
then forgot or refused to provide any
public receptacles for sputum. 1t is
easy to pass an ordinance that men
shall not spit in the public streets or
on the sidewalks. 1t is easy to pass
an ordinance that mule shall not
ter. A necessary complement to such
an ordinance on the part of the city is
the provision of public receptacles. at
very frequent intervals. where sputum
shall be deposited and disinfected. I'm
til this is done the ordinance might
as well never have been passed.
Let the council at once provide such
public receptacles. and thus add a ne
cessary safeguard to the public health
and at the same time help to improve
the appearance of the city streets.

SAFEGUARDING THE PUBLIC
HEALTH.

Our streets are beginning to fill up
these DAYS with invalids who come
here from the cold country 10 bask
in our sunshine and inhale the life Civ
ing ozone OF the mountains. FL Paso
welcomes sufferers always. and does
what she can to alleviate their con-
-dition. But in return for her generosi-
ty she has a right to demand the OBJ
servance of certain rules of health on
the part of visitors so afflicted. for the
protection of her people.
1t is a well known fact that the pro-
portion of deaths from tubercuious
maladies in the cities of California has
been steadily increasing within the last
ten years. due. so the records indicate,
to the gradual infection Of the healthy
resident population by the diseased in

taken measures for the protection of
those who have as yet no faint OF the

Consumption. or more : roperly tu-

a long ways the most terrible scourge
of mankind today. No plague or pes

things that make the spread and terri

Consumption is germ disease and
infectious. The fact no longer needs
proof. IL is as well established as any

victim of consumption owes his terri

spontaneous in any organism. IL must

At Aust n January IS 1901 to PR

/ By no means the least important

throughout the state in favor of the Or
ganization of a state association of the
commercial bodies of the various Tex

been successful. and the action of the
FL Paso chamber of commerce in
starting the movement is receiving
warm commentator in all quarters
where there is any interest to be con-
served by the celebrating of the COM
mercial bodies.
The following circular letter was
mailed yesterday to the commercial
bodies all over the state:

holding a meeting to organize a state
association. we have received eight re-
plies.

December 1st and Austin in January as
the place and time of meeting. Five
of the replies. from Houston San An
favor Austin in January. Three of the
replies. from Fort Worth. Tyler. and

cember LIST. The reasons giving for
preferring that the meeting be held at
Austin in January are, that at Fort
Worth the meetinf for forming state
association would be in danger of be-
ing overshadowed by the meeting in
the interest of the port at Galveston:
and that a meeting held at Austin in
January would enable the DELEGATES to

ELECTION REFORM

The time may come when some bet
ter electoral system than the Austral-
ian may be devised. but with the
light we have at present that is the
best obtainable. In the state of Texas
however. the system is as yet in en-
| bryo. Many changes and improve
ments are needed before the ballot
pure.
Among these changes is the making
of registration and the use of the
Australian ballot compulsory in all
cities of the state. without regard TO
local conditions. II is matter of
public safeguard To maintain the puri-
ty OF elections. and that can never he
done while the law remains in such
condition that a few INSCRIPTIONS ring

upon the free ballot. Under present
regulations il is impossible to- pre-
vent a considerable proportion of lille
gal votes. The law restricts the num-

A remedy that has often been recon-
mended by The Herald as certain TO do
away with fraud. so far as that can
be done by law. is the adoption of
poll tax regulation. the poll tax be-

There is an increasing tendency on
the part of the more conservative dem
ocratic papers. especially now that the
campaign is over. to discuss the ques-
ton of the trusts in the same vein in
which il was discussed by President

annual messages to congress. They

sentiment

The item in today's paper with re-
gard to the new process for making
paper out of cotton seed is pregnant
with suggestion. Here are two great
industrial combinations about to en-
gage in fierce contest. and the farmers
and all consumers of paper will reap
the benefit. Without industrial COM
bination it would be impossible to de-
velop such gigantic scheme as is pro-
posed. and even if the projectors do
make pile of money. what does it
matter if the farmers and the consum-
ers OF paper are benefited? Such ex-
traordinary development of hitherto
latent resources calls for admiration,
not condemnation.

EI Paso cannot have the best men

away from the old idea that man
must indeed run for Office. If nomi-
nation for mayor means that a man
must lose two or three months of his
time. thousands in money. and innum-
cradle friends before he can be elect
ed. in addition to all he must go
through while in office, the prospect
is not alluring. II a good man can
be induced to accept the position OF
mayor OF Ell Paso his friends ought
to see that he is elected. He ought
not be compelled to get out and work
for himself. Far from being obliged
to contribute to a campaign fund he
ought to be presented with purse. to
make up for the losses his business will
sustain by reason of his enforced at
tention to official duties. The old idea
is false one. and the sooner we get
away from it the better.

RECENT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of Kansas has
the calm of Thomas Dangerfield against
a Kansas railroad for $4,000 damages.
Dangerfield was on his way to Ireland,
and bought a scalper's ticket to Kan
sas City. One conductor honored the
ticket, a second took lit up and de-
manded fare. Dangerfield refused to
pay, and was put off the train He
sued and lost his case on the grounds
that complainant was not the orig
inal purchaser of the ticket, and that
he had not complied with the condi-
lions on the back, said conditions in
form of a contract, not having been
waived by the railroad company.
There appears to be something
wrong with a decision of this sort.
The railway company sold the ticket
originally and got somebody's money
for it, which money was used by the
company and is a part of its gross in
come. For that consideration it GER
tainly owes somebody a ride. Yet it
refused to give quid pro quo or to re-
turn the money. AS a result the COM
pany is just that much ahead. AS to
the contract feature, it takes two
people to make a contract ordinarily
and the claim that the simple print
ing of a lot of stuff on the back of
something for sale and then pretend
ing that the purchaser agrees TO the
conditions by his act of purchase is
very much too one-sided to appeal to
common sense. The Kansas Court
may dispense good law, but not justice.
