A Mistake.

The Laredo Times a few days
ago published the following:
1t is stated upon good authority
in this city that John W. Eann has
been removed from Office as collec-
tor of customs at Brownsville, also
Customs Inspector Tate. The re-
movals are said to have been done by
wire from Washington and reasons
assigned are: Vanu for signing the
petition sent to Washington asking
the removal of the colored troops
from Brownsville and Tate for
striking a colored soldier with his
six-shooter.
The Times good authority"
was probably off its base somewhat.
The fact is, Collector Vaun was
not eve min Brownsville when the
government was asked to remove
the negro troops. There has been
no notification received here re-
garding either Mr.. Vaun or Mr..
Tate, and the statement IS an
doubtedly without any foundation
whatever.

ried out. So The department is up
against a problem not apparently
easy to solve.
It has been seriously suggested
that the law requiring that four
regiments Of negro soldiers be
maintained as part OF the army
should be repealed, and 1t seems
probable that a bill to that effect
will be introduced in the next con-
gress. 1t is very doubtful, how
ever, whether such a bill would
be passed, and, in the event 1t
should be, it is quite likely that
President Roosevelt would kill it
with his little veto.

Young Girls. Listen.

Young girls often thoughtlessly
do things which cause invidious
remarks. Thoughtlessness may be
be given an excuse for many
light or frivolous actions, but
there is one thing Of daily oc-
currence in ever town for which
no excuse can be found. This is
the practice OF many immature
young girls daily, calling up some
young man or boy over a bust
ness telephone. 1t is a fact that
there are busy men in Corpus
Christi who know at just about
what hour in the afternoon they
may expect a call from their work
to answer the telephone and be
asked to send one of their employees,
or even send to some neighboring
house for some boy to talk to a
young girl. Only an emergency
will justify a single call of this
kind, and nothing will justify its
frequent repetition. Think of the
impression it makes on others in
the house and on the telephone
employees. Even the recipient of
such hattering attention must feel
a qualm of disgust at such IN
womanly folly. Girls, don't do it.
And another thought on this line
do you no know that not one
youth, around the age of 20, is in
any condition financially, to marry,
or has any serious thought of it,
when paying attention to you? 1t
is a fact, and while few mean any
harm, a young girl is furnished
when she permits herself to show
undue partiality for, or become
engaged" to boy who is in no
position to marry. Enjoy the
society of young men of good
repute, but have no special
fellow" Be womanly and hold
yourself in restraint-you will
thereby save yourself from sor-
row and contamination. Corpus
Christi Caller.

WHAT'S TO BE DONE WITH
THE NEGRO TROOPS

Judging by expressions coming
from Washington since the raid OF
the negro soldiers on Brownsville,
the government is in a dilemma
with regard to the disposition OF
the negro troops. 1t seems that no
community in the United States
wants the black soldiers quartered
near it, people of the North object
inc about as streuuously as those
of the South against them. Even
the Philippine Island posts may not
be garisoned with the negroes for
fear of irritating the natives and
provoking possible revolt among
them, so bitterly do the Filipinos
dislike the negro soldiers.
Under the light thrown upon the
subject BY the recent occurrences at
Brownsville, it now appears that 1t
was the intention of the depart
ment to keep the objectionable
troops at the posts on the Mexican
border, which probably for this
reason were not included in the
orders abandoning so many of the
smaller posts. But since the disas-
trous results of their coming hither,
fastening so precipitately their re-
moval out of the state, it IS evil
dent that this idea cannot be car

FREE alcohol was believed to
offer the American people cheap
and safe substitute for kerosine
and gasoline, and so the Standard
Oil octopus is reaching out its
tentacles to grasp that product,
and thus force the American peo-
pie to continue to pay tribute to
the Rockefellers. How long will
the country continue to endure this
monster that continues to glut
itself upon the substance of the
people? 1t is not the rich that are
hurt by the operation of the Stand
ard Oil monopoly-it is the masses
of the people who, every time they
buy a gallon of oil or of gasoline,
those household necessities which
are in such constant and growing
use, are paying a considerable
percentage above the actual value
of those products which goes to
swell the already stupendous
Rockefeller fortune.

RAN BEHIND HIS TICKET.

Mr.. Hearst ran more than 90. 600 votes
behind his ticket. An analysis OF the
returns will probably show that the
Democrats who scratched him did so
for one personal reason and another,
says The Savannah News. Some are
opposed to his journalistic methods,
Others are hostile to the man himself,
and still others fought him because be

sion. Mayor Mcclellan Of Greater
New York has pretty big following
aud all his influence was thrown
against him. MeCarren of Brooklyn is
another Democratic leader who con.

defeat Mr. Heart was done. And there
were Democrats OF lesser note who
had old scores to pay OF. The dele

room for contesting delegates who
were necessary to give Mr.. Hearst the
Democratic nomination for Governor,

Independen League men who were
disgruntled because ther ticket was

Hearst.
Taking into account the fact that
the press of Greater New York, with
the exception OF the Hearst papers,
were against Mr.. Hearstan also re-
memberinS the dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the Democratic party and the
Independence League, it must be adj

capped by dissension and opposition
in his own parties and in addition to
that he was pitted against a Republi-
Gan who had made record in the
life insurance Investigations and
against whom nothing could be
said.
Mr.. Hearst says he will take his
place in the ranks and continue his
fight against corporation evils. IL is
probable that he will remain in the
ranks quite while before he has an
other chance to get an important of

PISTOL PERMITS.

The pistol carriers of this county
have an idea that securing license or

missioners authorizes and permits
them to stick pistol in their pocket

permits was never intended so; it does
not take the place of the law pro-
hibiting the carrying of concealed
weapons. The permit simply author
ICES the individual to carry, openly, on

The privilege given by these permits
has been and is being abused daily. II
