New York has a new law
against betting on elections. A
special from New York City says
there will be no election betting
on the curb market in the finan-
cial district this year, as has been
the case in recent years. The
curb provided a center where in
some elections as high as $2,0o0,-
600 and $S,OOo,000 was laid for
principals by the curp brokers,
but on account of the new betting
law brokers say that there will be
no open betting this year.

escaped, as heretofore noted in
The Leader. As usual, the fight
here was on the President, and an
investigation showed that there
was no Justification of it. Why
these troubles In the Texas
case, heard two keen lawyers
summarize and discusss the testi-
mony given by all witnesses. Not
one of the thirteen charges was sus-
tanned, but absolutely disproVed.
The evidence showed that d num-
Der of students and few of the
faculty entered into compact to
oust President Harrington, be-
cause of sundry personal grieV-
ances, and ultimately to weed
out" of the faculty every man
who stood with him. The Alumni
Association took up the fight for
the student combination, through
a skilled lawyer. After hearing
the whole case | was impressed
with the following:
/. When any member of a fac
ulty will not respect constituted
authority, he ought to be helped
to retire at once.
2. When any student rebels
against such authority, he ought
to be sent home Immediately.
When it is understood that stud
ents can make and unmake a fac
uIty, the usefulness Of that insti-
tuition is ended.
3. IL is not the legitimate funo-
tion or right for Alumni Asso
Citations to control their Alma
Mater. To attempt such a thing
is to hurt rather than help, an
institution. Often the best
friends are unWise and, uninten-G
tionally, dreadfully hurtful.
4. To temporize with these
troubles is bad policy.
The Board of Directors Of the
Texas a.. e M. made this mistake,
and freely admit it. The mis-
take will never be repeated By
The same men. The kindness of
the directors in trying to save
rebellious students and members
Of the faculty was not appreciated,
and at last the directors had to
deal Knockout blow to the
student faculty combination, and
The Alumni Association besides. |
The disgruntled are muttering
here and there; but the directors
mot students, nor dlspleased |
professors, nor the alumni asso-
siation will control and direct
ihe affairs Of the great Texas 4.
& MI. College. The directors
lave said as much in the public +

Government Liquor Licenses Held by
Fraternal Orders.

jackson, Aug. L. According
to the published list Of the Hinds
county holders of internal revenue
liquor licenses, which Sheriff
Harding has inserted in this
weeks Issue, this county enjoys
the doubtful distinction of being
the banner county in this respect,
SO far reported. The list num-
bers forty-five individuals who
have secured licenses through the
Collector of Internal Revenue at
Birmingham, some of them drug
firms, and others club managers,
including the Elks, the Eagles,
the Owls and other clubs, while
some sixteen or eighteen are in
the names of women, most of
whom have figured in the court
records, county and municipal,
as we'll as Federal.
The Sheriff Of Lauderdlae Coun-
ty, with a rather lengthy looking
list, shows really less than one
fourth as many as are certified to
do business under Uncle Sans
authority in Kinds, while Sheriff
Magruder, of Forrest, only sue
ceedecl in turning up seven, both
these lists including fraternal
clubs. N. @. Picayune Bureau.
The Mississippi Code makes the.
possession of an internal revenue
liquor license in a prohibition
county, prima facIa evidence of
unlawful retailing by the holder,
and the new statute requiring
sheriffs to publish a list of these
licenses semi-annually is intended
to expuse such holders to the pub
lie and to grand juries.
