ERROR VULGAR

En- Ia prensa local hemos visto,
va en- una forma, VA en- otra, va
con palabras claras, 8 va indirec-
tamente expresaGa, Ia idea de que
los delitos de sangre tan fricuen-
tes en- esta ciudad. son originates
por ell uso V el abuse del mezcal,
que Sc trasporta en- pequeiias can
tidades de n. Laredo 4 esta ciu-
dad.
AL menos, ESQ Sc desprende de
las noticias dadas tiltimamente por
In prensa local sobre las di'posi-
clones de la aduana, en- 10 que Sc
refere al paso de pequefas bote-
Has de mezcal por ell vado p1blico.
Pero es un error vulgar.
La Aduana esta en- su perfecto
derecho, y a1n cumpliendo con un
deber, al impedir la entrada Gle
mercancfas extranjeras que no pa
guen los derechos aduanales, y
principalmente, cuando esas mer-
cancias sirven para fomentar la in
moralidad y ell vicio,
Pero los concentrates que esa
justa y energica medida ocasiona,
son completamente falsos, y de un
orfgen sospechoso.
Procuraremos demostrarlo. En-
N. Laredo hay, por 10 menos, Gin
cuenta mescalerias; es decir, Gin
cuenta casas que, en- mayor 8 me
nor escala, Sc consagran a vender
mescal, aparte las cantinas y tien
das de abarrotes, en- donde tambien
Sc vende mescal y toda clase de
vinos y licores. Laredo, Texas,
apenas tiene unos ocho estableci-
mientos donde Sc venden licores Y
cerveza. Es natural Greer que, a
n1mero de expendios de lico
res embriagantes, y a mayores ia
cilidades 1e conseguir esos licores,
deberla correspondent ell mayor MI
nero de delitos de sangre, y en- N.
Laredo, donde hay diez veces mas
expendios de licores, y donde la
copa de mescal vale tres centavos
plata, mientras en- Laredo, Texas,
vale diez centavos ORC, los delitos
de sangre, puede comprobarse
muy facilmentel, no son tan esean
dalosos, tan salvajemente mons
truosos, nj llegan siquiera al diez
por ciento de los cometidos anual-
mente en- esta ciudad.
Luego, no es ell mescal ell factor
mas importante en- la comision de
los delitos de sangre que lamenta-
mos aqui. No obstante que en- La
redo, Mexico, la venta de vinos Y
la portacion de armas son libres V
aqui estan grandemente restrinei
dos.
Es, pues, necesario, hacer 4 un
lado los prejuicios y buscar ell NAL,
para combatirlo con exito.
Nosotros planteamos Ia cnestion
asi: 81 en- N. Laredo de Tamau-
lipas, donde hay diez veces mas
establecimientos donde Sc venden
bebidas embriagantes, 4 precios
seis veces mas bajos que en- La
redo, Texas, V donde la portaci6n
de armas es librc, hay menos deli
tos de sangre que en- esta ciudad,
un cincuenta por ciento menos,
por 10 bajo, ;cual es el factor que
obra en- la comisi6n de los frecuen
tfsimos delitos de sangre que Ia
mentamos en- esta ciudadl

Marine Hospital authorities admit thar
probably this is true but they disclaim
any responsibility for It and place
the blame ON certain PHYSICIANS who

MARRIED Or
NOT MARRIED?
That is Question Troubling Young
Man in Georgia and He
Asks for Light.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. ST want to
know whether or not / am a married
man, is the burden of a letter which
reached Attorney General John c.
Bart today from a young South GeoT-
gisn.
The writer Of the letter. whose name
Judge Hart declined to give. stated he
resided IN one county. while the young
woman who consented TO become his
VIE lived in another. He procured 4
marriage license in his own county in
stead of that In which the young lady
hsed, as is required by law. the cere-
niony was duly performed ana the Ger
tfcate signed by the minister.
Now the ordinary Of the county in
which the young lady lived has cues
toned the validity of the marriage and
declares they were not legally marie
because the license was not purchasr
IA that county. This question as
the validity Of their marriage has
urally disturbed the young couple Il
little. and the groom FASTENED TO write
the attorney general and ascertain the
status Of his case.
Minds Set al Rest.
The minds of both bride and groom
viii be set at peace by Judge Harris
reply. While * is true the law re-
Quires that the marriage license shall
be secureG in The county in which the
lady lives. the fact that a license is
procured in another county in nowise
invalidates the marriage. the attor-
Icy general says. Marriage Is a civil
contract between two parties, and can
be established just as any other con
tract. so that they would be legally
married even If there had been no IL
cense al all. For the purpose Of keep
ing proper records and other legal
reasons the law very wisely requires.
Judge Hart says. that a marriage IL
cense shall be procured, and makes il a
for any one to soiemnize
a marriage in the absence Of such IL
Cense.

PRESIDENT
IS UNCHANGED
He Still FaVOTS Rate Legislation
and Thinks Proposed Measure
Is Too Conservative.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The first def
mite move on the part of the President
toward the framing of a bill regulating
rates Of the country was taken this
morning. when Representative Town
send of Minnesota, one of the authors
of the Esch-Townsend BILL which pass
ed the house last winter, and was
promptly pigeOn-hOled in the Senate,
called at the White House and taIkea
with the President over the recon.
mendations which will be made in the
annual message to Congress.
Rumor had it that Mr. Townsend was
not altogether satisfied in his own
mind that the President was as much
IL favor Of railroad legislation as he
was this time last year. His threats
to call extra sessions and his failures
to do so did not look encouraging to
railroad rate advocates. Upon leav-
ing the. White House, however, Mr..
Townsend said he could not note any
change in the Presidents attitude. He
returns tomorrow afternoon to go
over the subject in detail
The President is as strong as ever
for rate legislation" declared Mr..
Townsend. ''The few minutes / was
with him convinced me Of this. He
told me that he was in no way respon-
sible for the reports that he had chang
ed his attitude. On the contrary he
said that his views would De before
Congress on December 4, and they
would practically be in line with the
