Amarillo is surely making rapid
strides to the front in a business way
this year. In addition to the fine
new Methodist church which has just
been opened, the Baptist people will
erect fine new church, ire CHS
tian people are preparing to erect a
new home, the opera house is being
started fine new three story build
ing will be erected adjoining 1t, the
Acknowledgment building is near
ing completion, the fine Chanselor
building north OF the First National
Bank, the First National Bank re-
built, and the Morrow-Thomas new
buildings, are only a portion of the
public building improvements which
are being made during the present
year. Surely Amarillo is having no
boom, but she is surely and steadily
moving to the front.

MONEY AND DIVORCE.

An exchange has the following re-
garding the divorce evil, which the
Panhandle reproduces;
"The world is surfietod today
with divorce in high life, Not that
there is a scarcity OF divorce among
the middle or lower classes, and we
make these distinctions in classes on
the basis Of worldly possessions
alone, for the so-called middle class
Is the highest class Of humanity on
earth, to which belongs 90 per cent
Of Gods noblemen. The divorce suits
In the lower classes are the fruits
Of undisguised ylsciousness, cruelty,
III treatment and desertlon. Those
of the middle classes are the results
OF misguided affection, misfortune
and sad mlssteps due to the frailty
OF humanity. The divorces OF the
moneyed class, especially OF the mul.
u-milllonalres, are most times the
result OF vonality, premedltated de.
sign, intrigue and certain assumed
monled RIGHTEOUSNESS that is dis
grace to the man and has no saving
element whatever
Among hundreds OF the big rich
divorce suits that are brewing or
have materiallzed or are materially
ing every day there is no legal or
moral justification
why are some of our mlllonalres
so deprayed So devoid of moral
standard?
Simply because they have come
to use their money as cloak that
hides a multitude OF sins, as a IL
cense TO crafty their evil desires and
perverted incllnatons. Being rich
and powerful In the material world,
they mistakenly assume that they are
powerful enough and their money
gives them prestige enough to yio-
late the moral code with lmpunity
and escape the stigma Of the result.
III the same parties should be
shorn Of their wealth, their crimes
against decency and morality would
be vigorously denounced by the
Judge, and they would be forced to

HARTMAN ON SEA AND LAND.

II. II. Hartman disobeyed orders
on the Harvard-Yale course, and met
with a great surprise A naval lieu
tenant whose duty It was to keep the
course clear and enforce orders had
the extreme impudence to actually
arrest Mr.. Hartman just the same
as any other common offender might
have been arrested. And when Mr.
Hartman shook his finger at Chair
man Schweppe OF the regatta COM
mittee and shouted. Young man, I'll
see you later" the people within
earshot merely laughed. Lieutenant
Bulmer, the officer who arrested Mr..
Hartman, took his prisoner aboard
the revenue cutter Gresham and
kept him there until after the race
was over. Then he was permitted
to go on his own recognizance, but
the Hartman motor boat was tied up
at the navy yard.
Mr.. Hartman is not used to that
sort of thing, He is accustomed to
having his own way, in court and
out. On land no one in authority
thought of having him arrested for
his arrogant violations of the law,
but on water it is different. Perhaps
1t would be a good idea to send all
of our judicial and executive officials
to sea for a while in order that they
may learn how 10 enforce laws and
rules, and while they are learning let
the naval officers come on shore and
take the judicial and executive places
for a while. Until they learned the
methods of distinguishing between
the people Of high and low financial
degree we might have pretty fairly
good enforcement of the laws.--Bry-
ans Commoner.

A FREAK DECISION.

In almost every state where there
s strong political majority one
way, there Is always more freak
legislation, and construction of the
laws, than in any other state. In
Iowa, the editor OF the Panhandle
saw more OF this freak work, than
he ever noticed in any other state
in the union unless It be Kansas or
Maine, until he came to Texas.
In a state with this large political
majority on one side, every sect and
ism is thrust upon the dominant par
ty, by persons claiming to Influence
large amount OF votes, and to sat
sly such elements of the community,
the party tries to quiet them with
legislation satisfactory no matter
what the result to the community
Such was the case in Iowa, when
the Republican party took up the is
sue OF prohibition, which proved a
signal failure, and caused the de-
thronement of that party with tre-
mendous majority, and put Demo-
Gratis In power for two terms. Re-
publlcans got their second wind, par
TALLY repealed and legally annulled
prohibition law, and went back to
their old $4,000 to 100000 majority
in that strongly Republican state.
The recent legislature of Texas,
made a change in the liquor law OF
the state the change to take effect
the 18th day OF July. Following up
on this, the attorney general made
decision that the saloons OF the
state, even in the license districts,
must close for a time, pending the
securing of new petitions, and the
granting OF licenses under the same.
In consequence OF this decision, the
saloons OF Amarillo, and many other
license towns of the. state, have clos.
ed during this period, or until de-
cision can be reached by the courts,
as to the correctness of the ruling
The Daily Panhandle considers
such ruling the helghthq of judicial
folly. The saloons, of the state hold
ing licenses, held them, under the
laws OF the state and consent of the
majority or the people OF the locality.
They will hold licenses under the
new law, they were paid in advance
with their licenses. then why should
they close while changing the form
OF compliance with the new law?

Then follows a significant paragraph,

Then follows a significant paragraph:
There has been a material change
in the style in which the President
travels. When the railroads furnish
ed the transportation all arrange
ments were lavish in the extreme,
the railroads vying with each other
In the entertainment provided. Spe-
cial trains were not uncommon, and
special schedules were frequently
prepared for the President. Now 1t
is different The President, paying
his own way, travels quietly. His
Pullman bills are not large, his car
Is hitched to regular trains, the SER
vice is simple, the meals plain, and
the President enjoys himself just as
much"
This Is encouraging. The nation
will welcome greater simplicity in
the presidential office. Why should
railroads vie with each other in Law
ish expenditures on a special train?
Because the President is in a posi-
ton to be of service to the railroads,
and when they are promoted to great
err favor by large expenditures, they
endeavor to make the impression
deep and lasting. Now the President
travels quietly and not only enjoys
himself Just as much" but is reliev-
ed of any feeling of obligation to the
railroads. The more simple public
life can be made, the better. Accord
ing to the American theory of gov
eminent the official Is the servant of
the people, and 1t Is a little incon-
sistent to say the least to have the
servant arrayed in purple and fine
linen and faring sumptuously every
day while the sovereign people are
hustling around to get enough mon
ey together to pay the next Install
ment of taxes. If, instead Of aping
the monarchies and aristocracies of
the old world we brought public life
into keeping with our theory Of gov
eminent, we would make a more
profound impression upon the world
than we do. There is a wide zone be-
tween dignified but economical
public service and the wasteful ex-
trayagance which is being cultivated
by those who are ambitious to live
like the officials of Europe. --Bryan's
Commoner

Amarillo was a dry town today,
It was like an election day. Sa-
looms all closed, and II the casual
drinker or old topper had not prepar-
ed himself In advance, he had to go
dry as the closing OF the saloons
meant the CLOSING. Several Of the
larger cities OF the state did not close
and test cases were prepared, and a
decision will be secured, The sa-
looms may be closed for twenty days,
and they may not be closed but a
very few days.

The Daily Panhandle is no prophet
but It's editor has lived nigh onto
fifty years, and he has been In pub
lie life for the last thlrty-five. He
has observed during that time that
good, common sense is pretty good
law and he did not see how any
community which had licensed sa-
looms. and those saloons had paid
license In advance under one license
law, could be closed simply because
the law had been changed, and a
different license law was to take ef-
feet Common sense teaches that
licensed saloons under one law
would be allowed to run under the
license law they had complied with
TN the new law had taken effect
and had been applied, Then II they
were unable to comply with the new
law they would be compelled to close
up. The simple decision of the at.
torney general that all licensed places
should close for twenty days was
the heIghth OF nonsense, and freak
decisions, such as only could be Sc.
cured in state like Iowa, largely
Republican, or Texas, largely Demo
cratic. That the judiciary Of Texas
has arisen to the heighth OF render.
ing a decision on common sense and
law, unbiased by any sentimentality
on account of public sentiment, is
gratifying to the Daily Panhandle,
and we want to congratulate the Texas
judge, Judge Brooks, of Dallas, on
his common sense decision.
