Whisky and Crime.

To the Editor of The Post
Corsieana, Texas, October aA.-In vour .d;.
torial, "Lynehing Does Not Deter" which an
peared in The Post of z3rd regarding the lynch
ing OF the two negroes at Hampstead you take
the position that nothing is accomplished bv
these violent breaches of lawful procedure. !"
This is quite correct, except perhaps to get such
brutes out OF existence as quickly as possible
Yet mob law Is to be deplored.
This case, as well as Others Is undesirable
evidence that example has no salient effect pnon

Now, the logical question is What are the

condition OF partial, it not total, drunkenness

Texas has a cash balance OF over two ini t.oi
dollars IN the treasury and yet she IS doing ousi-
ress on credit paving a number OF her employees
with treasury warrants which they must discount

State to the amount they may lose dscounting

short A penny-wise policy does not become

The Herald falls into an error which has
grown to be very common in Texas The large
amount mentioned by the Herald as being in the
treasury does not belong to the general revenue
fund-that is, the fund available for general eN-
penses-but is a part of the various permanent
funds.
Justice Hagner, of the District of Columbia,
recently issued an order permanently enioining
,hirty-three ticket soalpers In Washington from
selling the Grand Army special excursion tickets
issued by the Pennsylvania, Southern, Baltimore
and Ohio, and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads
Every judge in the country would, suggests the
Charleston News and Courier, find the decision
OF Justice Hagner in this case frst-rate preee-
dent to follow. The validating agency at Char
lesion during the exposition accomplished good
work It made the business of trading in cheap
tickets rather uncomfortable occupation. Next
week the annual State fair will be held in Co.
lumbia; the railroads have made low rates fol

out regard to political affiliations The In
terviews with the heads Of the several
Houston banks. recently published in The
Post, showed this According TO the Senti'
mel the conditions in Indiana are practically
the same as In Texas, and It is safe to as
sumo that the situation in these two States
is an accurate indication of that in other
states The bankers OF the country at large
do not approve the action Of the secretary
regarding reserves and security for govern
ment deposits. They are opposed to the
branch bank and the asset currency scheme,
They are. in short. opposed TO the action OF
government officials in pouring money into
the pockets Of the Wall street gamblers
under the gulse OF helping the legitimate
banking interests.

POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE.

The Nye family, of which the famous humotist
Bill Nye, was a member formed an asso-
citation at Sandwich, Mass, recently, and will
hereafter hold yearly reunions.
Charles A. Lockard and John o. Nye two
white men OF Syracuse, N. Y, have been adopted
as members OF the Seneca tribe Of Indians. Two
other whites, Uriah and Palmer Cummings, have
become chiefs and controlling spirits in the Sc
neca nation.
Otto Chichester, three times mayor of
Bremen, made that city seaport and had time
besides to devote to study. He translated some
of Shakespeares dramas, all of Byron's works
and Dante's Divine Comedy" the last especial

Ex-senator Blair of New Hampshire believes
in the government ownership of public utilities.
Not only does he want the Federal authorities
to take charge of the coal mines but he likewise
insists that it would be good public policy to
place the schools under government control, to
the end that correct economic theories alone be
promulgated

Of Mr.. Balls course and the exploded pre-.
tension that republican can accomplish
more In congress than a democrat The
truth is, as often explained in The Post, that
largely through the efforts of Mr.. Ball Texas
secured nearly onetwelfth OF the whole
rivers and harbors appropriation, and this
should forever silence the boast of Texas
republican influence in even republican
congress-
In the doubtful distrlcts-if any may In
truth be called Embellishments will, OF
course. exert themselves to the utmost In
order that the soidity of the Texas dele
cation may be unbroken. A republican con
gresham from Texas viii count as heavily
against democratic influence in congress as
q republican from anywhere else, and Texas
democrats ought to make sure that this
State will present solid front against the
manifest evils of republican rule. Moreover,
a good drubbing OF the republicans in all
Texas districts this year will make them
less troublesome hereafter. All that they
have ever accomplished in this State is to
make trouble here and there for time, with
no hope Of making any real Roadway as a
factor in State affairs A big democratic
victory In all the new districts will make
democratic success assured practically for
the remaining ten years OF the present ap-
portlonment

NOTE AND COMMENT.

An increase Of over s3o,ooo,ooo in the tax
able value Of property during the past year is
something which very few States can boast Of
Il is remarkable showing even for remarkable
Texas. great deal of this increase comes from
the Panhandle, which, up to a few years ago. WIS
nothing more nor less than an arid plain With
no improvements except wire fence here and
there, Now windmills can be observed in every
direction, and the homes Of the new eomers dot
almost every alternate section of land. The oil
lands In South and East Texas increased the
values considerably Jefferson county alone civ
ing an increase Of over $6,ooo.ooo. Harris county
comes next with good increase. which makes
her FIRST 10 wealth in the State. With a good
season next year, is is safe to say that the in
crease in property valuation will far exceed
the gain which has been recorded BY the comp
troller for 1909.
