HOME RULE AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The system that prevails in Texas
and in practically every other state, OF
leaving to local authorities discretion
as to whether certain laws shall be
enforced or not, in effect constitutes
home rule. Each community thus has
in operation just those laws which 1t
wants to have in operation, and no
more OF course there are certain laws.
such as tax and antitrust laws,
that affect all parts of the state alike,
but the great mass of the statutes are
in force in some places and not in
force in other places.
Efforts have been made in various
of a state consta Dulary to take Inc
place, in the cities, of the municipal
police In some states, as in Missouri,
the effort to control the local police
machines from the state capital has
been the result purely of the. desire to
corrupt the machines still further and
to use them for the purposes of the
state governing ring, against the will
of the people of the cities. An effort
is now being made to bring about the
same condition in New York, bill be-
ing before the legislature at Albany
to put the Greater New York police
in the hands of the governor of the
state. In nearly All these attempts the
motive has been iniquitous, and the
result is invariably worse condition
A-s~ 11xo -.
New Hampshire, however, a prohibi-
ton state, such an effort has been
made in the honest desire to secure
a better enforcement of the liquor
laws in the cities, where sentiment is
generally against them The expert
ment has been complete failure. as
might have been expected.
1t has been found impossible to en-
force the prohibition laws against the
will of the people of the cities, and the
police commissioners appointed by the
governor for this special purpose, act
ing on bipartisan boards, have permit
ted the spirit of the law to be ignored,
and what Is practically an illegal Ii
cense system has grown up. 1t is true
that some apparent effort is made to
enforce the statute, but it is done in
such way that the result is to make

The moral of all of which is that it is
impossible to make people moral by
statute. No law is operative in any
particular community unless the moral

The English are crying "Jingoism
and "Anglophobism" at the Davis
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, but if it goes, it is pure Amer
icanism There is much respect and
love and honor for Mother England in
our land, but nevertheless the mass of
the people want to have the ends OF
their Nicaragua canal protected if
necessary, and they will have what
ever mines, warships. and Notifications
their peace loving tendency sees to be
necessary. England blows good deal
about the neutrality of the Suez, but
the whole world knows that England
controls that waterway and will use
it to serve England's best purposes
and if war ships and gun powder have
to go there to maintain her ambition,
war ships and gun powder will go
there The interests of both England
and America are largely commercial
and practically the neutrality of both
canals is assured by the fact that Meth
er country would care to tie up bust
ness and commerce, by interfering
with the waterways. if it could be
avoided. But Uncle Sam, being SO pa
cific in disposition has a habit of want
ing his guns handy. They will not
bring down war so readily as they will
preserve the peace.

his seat in the United States senate.
One of our state legislators announces
that he will call for legislative ex-
animation of Baiiey's connection with
the Standard Oil company before the
Texas Legislature votes on him for
senator. Bailey was instrumental in
making ineffective the repeal of the
Waters Pierce Oil company's charter,
by helping to secure for them a new
permit on the plea that they were a
new corporation having been incor-
porated under the laws of Missouri,
May 20, the day before the expiration
of their old permit. Some Texans
have been wanting Bailey to explain
ever since and it looks now as though
he might have to.

Sprayiny to XIII Weeds.

Those farmers in England and Scot
land who have tested spraying for the
purpose of destroying charlock or Wild
mustard, sum up their opinions as fol-
lows, says the Farmers Advocate.
That charlocli can be destroyed in
growing crops. without injury to the
latter, by spraying with fifty gallons
two-per-cent. solution two pounds in
ten gallons Of water) OF pure sulphate
of copper per acre; that the best time
to apply this is when the charlock Is
young and from two inches to six
inches in height; that where charlock
is destroyed the grain crops are i'm
proved. The principal causes of fail
tlre, it is added, are spraying too late
using insufficient solution, and using
Impure sulphate of copper. For the ef
fcctual eradication of charlock sec.
ond spraying is necessary about fort
night after the first, to catch plants
that come up after the first spraying
and those that somehow escaped the
full dose of copper that was intended
for them. Far better results are OBJ
tained in following tho drill rows than
in crossing them, especially when the
grain gets high, as each row acts as q
sheltering wall to the charlock stand
ing behind It, A horse with small
feet and cart with narrow wheels do
least injury. AS the grain that is
crushed is very susceptible TO the
spray, this point should not be over
