San Antonio, Texas. Sept. IL
Charles w Ogden, a prominent citi-
zen of San Antonio, Is on his way
to deliver the city governments and
the International Clubs invitation
to President Taft. He will try at the
same time to induce the president to
prolong his stay in this city by at
least another day, the time now af-
forded by the chief executives itin-
erary being toally inadequate to
make the elaborate program mapped
out possible.
Unofficial information indicates
that the dedication of the Gift Chap
ell at Fort Sam Houston will be made
the occasion of a peace speech by
President Taft. The chapel was built
by the citizens of San Antonio for
the use of the soldiers at the post,
the motive being to provide them
with a library and a hall where they
could spend their amidst the best
possible surroundings. Non-denomi-

Reform Wave Hits Mexico.

San Antonio, Texas, September
I11.-A sweeping measure prohibit
ing every kind of gambling has just
been signed by Lie. Pena, the newly
elected governor of the State of
Coahuila. 1t is said that the restric-
tons involved are due to the wide
open conditions which have charac-
terized the recent administration.
The extent to which gambling had
been carried on is said to have been
appalling, and many families are
claimed to have suffered severely
through losses caused by gambling.
With the Mexicans fondness for the
factor of chance, full license in this
respect could not but cause great
havoc.
There are indications that a re-
form wave is spreading over the
sister republic generally. Only few
weeks ago the national government
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of sup
pressing the manufacture and sale
of mescal, and strongly alcoholic
drinks distilled from the leaves OF
species of aloe. Since total abstin-
! ence would be a hardship on the av.
erage Mexican it was decided by the
government to encourage the sale
iof beer, hoping thereby to substitute
this beverage for mescal in gen
eral way. How far the wave of re-
form has spread is seen from the
fact that bull fighting in Mexico i.
in great danger of elimination.

ARE PLATFORMS BINDING?

Some of the democrats in congress
who voted for tariff on lumber,
when reminded that the Denver
platform demanded free lumber,
stated that they did not consider
this plank to be binding In view of
the fact that the democrats were not
in power They further defended
themselves for repudiating their
party's pledge by charging that ME-
Bryan while a member of congress-
repudiated the plank in the demo-
cratic platform calling for the repeal
of the tax on state bank notes.
In the current issue of the Com
monner Mr. Bryan explains his vote
against the repeal of the tax on state
bank notes. He says:
Senator Bailey says that Mr..
Bryan can not complain of the re-
pudiation of the Denver platform
because he (Mr Bryan repudiated
a plank in the platform of 1892
Yes. MIR. Bryan did repudiate the
plank demanding the repeal of the
| tax on the notes of state banks. But
/ he repudiated the plank during the
| campaign and promised his constit'
uents to oppose the repeal of thai
| tax tthe repeal was intended to re
store a state bank note circulation.
MIR. Bryan's criticism of Sena
itor Bailey is not that he refuses tt
be bound by a platform adopted af
| ter he was elected (although Texas
endorsed the platform on election
day. but because he denies the bind
! ing force of platforms in genera
land still more because he advocate
a doctrine Ca tax on raw materials
which if adopted as party polio.
will, in Mr. Bryan's judgment, max
tariff reform impossible.
1t will be seen that there is quit
a difference between Mr.. Bryan
reputation of his party's platform
demand and the attitude displaye'
by certain democrats toward tn
| Denver platform. Mr.. Bryan an
nounced frankly and honestly be
fore election that he would oppos
| the plan to restore a state bank not
circulation, whereas in the case o
/ the Louisiana congressman who re
I pudiated the democratic tariff planl
on lumber they kept their opinion

WHERE DOES BAILEY STAND?

When the tariff question was be
fore the senate, the junior senator
from this state had a great deal to
say, and since the adjournment of
the body he has been on the stump
I in defense of his votes.
And yet we doubt if there's a man
in the state who could take pencil
and paper and tell what Mr., Bailey
stands for
His friends tell us that he is seek
ing to drive the free raw material
idea out OF the democratic party.
But isn't that a man of straw? The
Denver platform, absurd though it
be, does not declare for free raw
material. Mr.. Bailey's colleague, Mr..
Culberson. does not favor free raw
material, nor does any Texas demo-
crat whom we now recall Then
what's the row about?
! In the senate Mr.. Bailey said he
! favored every duty which is fixed
below a protective rate and which
| will produce any revenue to the
treasury" That is sound doctrine.
But the senator voted for the higher
| as against the lower rate on lumber
| he voted to put crude oil on the free
list, and he favored duty-free bag
ging.
Il do not believe in free list,
said Mr. Bailey to the senate, ''eX-
cept as to the absolute necessities OF
life, and never with my vote will any
commodity 90 on the free list ex-
cept il be an article of universal use
and be in a shape ready for the ac-
tual consumption of the great null
titude of our consumers. Isn't lum-
her as much a necessity of life as
crude oil, and isn't print paper as
much an article of universal use as
cotton bagging?
The pertinence of that inquiry
lies in the fact that the Denver
platform specifically called for lum-
Der and print paper to 90 on the free
list, which call MIR. Bailey refused
TO heed. and straightwaya proceeded
to create a free list of his own.
We will esteem it a great favor
if some friend of the senator's Will
define for us his position on the
tariff question. Waco Tmes-Her-

You can be a democrat and be-

out being bound by any platform
