POLITICS IN ITe

It has been charged that there is
more or less politics involved in the
operations of the Texas Commercial
Secretaries organization. 1t cannot
be denied that there is at least some
semblance of a foundation for the
charge. The organization surely has
been taking more or less interest in
political matters. Perhaps this was
done with the best of intentions No
doubt the moving spirits of the or
ganization see some things in the
way things have been handled in Tex
as which they may think they could
improve upon The organization
maintained an Office at Austin the
past winter. which certainly did all
it could to influence legislation, or to
prevent legislation which the organ
ization probably deemed not for the
best interests of the state. Whether
they are right in their opinions on
these subjects, The Herald will not
here attempt to say. 1t will assert,
however, that as an organization,
under the name of the Commercial
Secretaries of Texas, the organization
has no business in politics, and, if it
has been guilty of the charge. 1t
should straightway get out of poll
tics or change its name. The people
do not support commercial -organiza-
tions for political purposes The sup
posed aim and object of such an or
ganization is to promote the CONNER
cial and industrial development of
state or comm nifty, and as such it
is entitled to and deserves the hearty
support of every person who is at all
progressive. If, however, it ever
lends itself to the furtherance of the
schemes of any political aspirant, or
takes any part in political moves, 1t
Immediately fOrfeits that support. 1t
may be that there is room in Texas
for political body organized for the
purpose of bringing about some i'm
provement in the way of doing things
in a governmental sense, but, if that
is to be done, it should be done open
ly and not under the guise of COM
mercial organization.

ENTREES CLOSE FOR Fl PASO
 TOURNEY

That coming baseball tournament at Fl Paso, to be held during fair week. November 1 to T, is exciting considerable interest throughout the Cactus Belt.
 To date five team are entered, Doug. las being the only one from this part of the country. Morenci is also en- tered. and other New Mexican teams as well. The entries closed yesterday with Bisbee. Cananea and New Mex ican town left out on account of not having applied for recognition as a tournament contender.
 There was some talk of the Bisbee team not taking part, but nothing definite is known thus far. Manager Wilson has not had time to give the matter serious thought, but it is mora than probable that the entries will be reopened should the Bruins wish to get in.
 At first it was thought best to give it up on account of the heavy expense that will be entailed for transporta- tion, etc, but it is believed that this matter can be arranged. Iii this case Bisbee is assured of a representa- ton.
 So far Cananea has not signtied her intention of competing, but it is expected that Quien Sabes will be on hand when play is called. The same privilege, that of getting on the list before it is officially closed, has been accorded them, and they will in all probability accept, as well as Bis bee. The Fl Paso fair management is trying to make she tournament an eight-club affair, and the addition oi Bisbee and Cananea to the list of en- tries, together with New Mexican town which desires to come in. will make the necessary number

BRUINS MAKE READY FOR
 MEETING

Today, the Bisbee Gruins, recovered from last Sundays sadness, will take their final workout at the Warren ball park prior to their two games with Douglas tomorrow and Sunday. They went through hard practice yesterday afternoon and showed gia- ger enough to warrant Douglas im- porting an entire new team if thsy expect to do anything with them

 The Demon management is also af- tr two or three otheb players, mostly eutfielders.
 The home team will go to Douglas tomorrow morning. With them will go a number of rooters who will re- main for the two games. Umpire Kel- Iy will also probably be taken along. There will be no ball on the home grounds until the latter part of next week, so it is probable that larger number than usual will go over Sun day to cheer the boys along. and inc. dentally to see how they work unier the Teddy Bears" tutelage.

BISBEE HAS NEED
 OF PATROL WAGON

Three Mexieans drew fines of s10 in Justice Aosan-s court yesterday morning on drunk and disorderly charges. Two of them gave Officer Joiner all the lifting he cares about doing for some time to come. One of the fellows was found asleep on Rn. view avenue and another on O. k. street, and Joiner had to get help to tote them to the station, both refus- ing to walk. One of them broke two links in Jolners chain handeuffs. and the latter will have to visit the repair shop.
 "A patrol wagon is what the city needs to handle cases of this descrip tion.' said Judge Hogan. They haze needed one for long time. A deteu ton pen built near the city hal would do as well. As it is it is tough proposition when an officer gets a man helplessly drunk and has to pull, haul and drag hin up Main street to the lookup at the other end of town. Most of the inebTiates who at- tain the helpless condition are found up Brewery Gulch or on o. K street ,"
 Joiner is exhibiting a pair of skiU- ned knuckles as result of handling the Mexicans arrested early yesterday morning. The one giving the most trouble was Jesus Moreno, an offend CT who has been up several times on the same charge. That he was pre- pared for stay in jail was shown by the fact in his pocket was large box of matches, and enough tobacco and cigarette papers to last a week or two.
