COLOGNE GAZETTE HOT.
Sore Over Coming Conference
at Caetz Between
TWO NOTED POTENTATES.
German Government Displeased at the
Papers Article and Would Have Not
Allowed Its Publication Had Same
Been Known Beforehand.

Berlin, April 1S.-King Edwards ap
preaching meeting with King Victor
Emmanuel at Gaeta is attracting much
attention in the German press, which
comments on the coming event as be
ing an effort to isolate Germany and
win Italy away from the triple ALI
ance.
An article in the cblogne Gazette
along these lines Is 6eing widely dis.
cussed because It is believd to have
been inspired from Berlin. The writer
says public opinion in Germany sees
In King Edwards course an attempt to
disturb the European equilibrium
which is calculated to awaken misgiv
fngs regarding the disarmament pro
posal, and finally warns Great Britain
that war with Germany would be
dangerous for any opponent or any
coalition of opponents" This sharp
language is interpreted by the Tag,
lische Runedchau as meaning that
the German government. growing
weary Of the English game OF hide
and seek and the comedy of peace
and disarmament"
At the foreign office, when attention
was called to the Cologne Gazette's
article, it was stated | expressed only
he editorial opinion Of the paper; that
the German government Is in no way
responsible for such views and that
government officials would have taken
steps to prevent it's publication II they
had been advised in advance. The for.
eign office does not see that any rea
son for disquiet is connected with the
meeting of the kings of England and
Italy, since Italy knows her independ
ence is better guarded by being a
member of the triple alliance than II
she were thrown wholly on Anglo
French support

REFORMS ARE NEEDED.

The Monroe Star III a forceful cd
itorial urging reforms, particularly with
reference to high salaried officials such
as sheriffs and tax collectors. says
"As we have frequently declared, The
Star Ioes not object 10 paying public Of
ficials fair and adequate compensation,
based upon the services and responsible
ties attached to the office. But it does
seem that the salaries and perquiSites
drawn by some sheriffs are entirely too
large-they exceed the salaries paid the
Governor and every other State official,
Congressman or Unitcl States Senator.
"For instance, the seven tax collectors
in the Parish of Orleans are paid sal
aries and fees aggregating 100000 per
year. These political bosses are paid
this large sum of money for doing for
the State what one man does for the
City of New Orleans, who collects all
the city taxes and licenses, perhaps ag-
gregating three times the amount col
iected by the State, is paid $1,000 per
year for his services. Is there any JUS
tice in such discrimination? Hundreds
of responsible citizens i'll New Orleans
would be glad to perform the duties of
State tax collector for $4,000 per year.

TEXAS ANTI-GAMBLING LAW.

The Texas State Legislature, which
has just completed its session, enacted,
among other measures, law against
gambling. The Texas law makes the
operating OF a banking game felony,
but any sort of gambling is prohibited
and made punishable.
According to this law, persons who
play for money at public place at any
game with cards, dice, dominoes or any
thing else, or who gamble al any game
or d game which has no name are liable
to a fine of from $fo TO $50 The law
exempts games in private residences, or
where no public gambling is carried on,
but provides, however, that no banking
game shall be carried on there. Any
person employed at gambling house or
any person operating one is liable TO be
convicted OF felony and sentenced to
from two to four years. Persons rent
ing buildings for gambling purposes are
liable to be convicted of felony and
sentenced to from two to four years. 1t
is made misdemeanor to bet on ball
games. In view of the doctrine held by
not few that there is no real entertain
ment or diversion in any game unless it
Is made exciting by betting money on its
outcome, II is plain that for such persons
II is no longer possible to shave any
fun in Texas.--New Orleans Picayune.
And it is plain that all such persons
may come with impunity to Louisiana

where the pool room operators, the
