 We in Galveston do think, however that we have pretty nearly solved the most difficult problem of civic administration After six years trial of 1t there is very little that we would want cnanged ir the charter, and we have reelected the whole board of commissioners three times There is no poliFics in it--and the rem nants of the old board of aldermen ana the ''bao element following them-and yearning for the old days of misrult and graft-have tried very hard to inject politics into 1t. It is plain business government, on plain, everyday, com. nonsense, business, human plan; 1t has nothing sectional racial, or geographical in it that will limit it; 1t is practical for every American city, even the very largest ones, for size has nothing to dc with it's principles,

'ITALY'S CONTROL
 IN WEST AFRICA Foreign Minister Explains the
 AbysSinian Raids NEW TREATY TO BE MADE Minister Tittoni Speaks In the Cham Der of Deputies on the Progress
 Made By Italy In Devel
 oping SomaIiand.
NEW TREATY TO BE MADE

Rome, February 13.-Foreign Minister Tittoni answered an Interrogation in the chamber of deputies today regarding the raid some five weeks ago upon Lugh, the furthermost Italian station in the interior of Italian Somaliland by 2OO0 Abyssinians. He made a lengthy and exhaustive exposition of the Italian sit uation in Somaliland and the history of the station. Lugh he said, had been occupied by Italy in 1895 as the result of a treaty with the Sultan of Lugh. The Sultan, at the same time, concluded an- other treaty with King Menelik of Abys- sinia and consequently Menelik had all ways sustained the potentate of Lugh. Lugh, the foreign minister declared, was not included in the possessions of Italy.
 An important and interesting part of Signor Tittonis address and one that gave key to the situation, was when he said that shortly before the raid King Menelik had insisted on a delimitatlon of the frontier on the ground to do so would give Italy final possession of Lugh and it's territory. King Menelik was to receive pecuniary assistance as he did in 1900, when the frontier of Erythrea was delimtated. Italy agreed to nego- tiate on this basis.
 Continuing Signor Tittoni announced that system of wireless telegraphy in Somaliland and Erythrea would be ready by the end of April and that this, to- gether with the agreement with King Menelik. regarding the gradual submis- sion of the tribes who are still in re- bellion, would ensue the security of the colony before the rebels had an oppor- tunity to reach an understanding with the Mad Mullah, which might make the situation more serious. In order to fur ther the work of pacifcation. the mili- tary forces in Somaliland are to be raised to 3400 natives, under the command of 46 Italian officers. The causes that led to the raid on the Lugh never had been made clear, the foreign minister said King Menelik still disclaimed responsibil- ity and promised to see that those who were accountable received befitting pun ishment.
 The foreign minister dwelt on the grow ing commercial prosperity of Somali- land and that in the last ten years the local commerce had increased 15O per cent. Two-thirds of the importation into the colony consisted of American women goods. The colony had high hopes re- garding the cotton cultivation recently undertaken. as cotton can be produced in Somaliland cheaper than in Egypt Experiments have been made with Amer jean, Egyptian and Australian cotton plants and when this industry gets un- der way, Signor Tittoni hopes to direct Italian immigrants to the country.
 It is regarded that King Menelk asks $600,000 to renounce his pretensions over the Lugh territory

When a Union Was a Crime.

From the February Broadway magazine
 Massachusetts was the first to abolish the old outgrown fear of organized capi- tai, but not until 1S0S-exactly one cen tury ago Rhode Island was second and New York third, in granting freedom to corporations. But Pennsylvania did moi open up the gates of law to corporations until 1873, 37 years after he was born
 The anti-combination laws oppressed capital and labor alike. They made trade unions illegal as well as trusts Less than 100 years ago American workingmen were thrown into jail for the .crime'' of having organized a union. In fact 1t was mainly the bitter protests made by wage-workers that tore these obnox- ious laws out of the statute books.
