In regard to submitting the question OF State

both to democratic principles and in opposition
to the liquor traffic leads us to hope that the
people may be given an opportunity to express
themselves on this great question.

Not So Very Wicked

In welcoming a delegation from the rural dis
tricts to the Great White Way recently MAYOR
Gaynor promised the visitors that he would have
the police take of them while they We're
seeing the sights Ia the town. which by COM
mon repute, ts the worst as well as the biggest
among the bad and big towns OF these United
States. And then the New York mayor, as
though fearing that no had produced a dam
aging impression, assured the visitors that New
York is nothing like wicked as people might
think If they based their Impressions solely on
the daily reports Of criminal doings
The Census Bureau doesn't report crime sta
tistics with a suffciency of fulness detail to
make It determinable whether In the matter OF
ratios and proportions New York Ia wickeder
than other American cities. 1t is a good deal
bigger and therefore, naturally a good deal
worse in the aggregate. But 1t is undoubtedly
true that no city is one-tenth twentieth or
even one hundredth part as bad as 1t appears
to be when judged exclusively by It's crime re-
cord.
In every American city to one who Is familiar
with all the intricate doings that constitute the
day in and day out life of the city, 1t Is appar-
cot that what is good and wholesome Ia enor-
mousiy preponderent over what is not good or
wholesome. There is more vice to the square
mile In the city than In the average rural dis
trict. mainly for the reason that there are more
people to the square mile in the city Even in
New York one might live whole year and not
encounter anything shockingly wicked, unless he
should so on II hunt for it. Then he would be
likely to find it.-BaItimore American

To tho many who have read THE

pleasure. his latest work, Mrs Max
on Protests" will be a keen disap-
pointment. 1t falls far short Of le-
Ultimate expectation in the view Of
past successes. lacking not only nov
city. but even the quality of interest.
There are several supposed romances,
but they are flat and fail utterly to
recall tho trite old truth that all
the world loves lover" There are
no thrilling events that sustain In
terest. there IL no mystery, there u
no unusual character delineation-
There is a heroine. one must acknowl-
edge. but even she is not made live
and real to the reader, awakening
neither admiration or sympathy In
short. there Is nothing but Mrs. Max
on's fruitless protest against conven-
ton and the moral code.
Finding life with her husband I'M
bearahle, Winnie Maxon revoits
against his dominance of her
thoughts, opinions and acts, and goes
TO stay with cousins at "Shaylor' 3
Patch" Since adequate grounds for
divorce are lacking. she leaves her
husband without legal procedure, and
after residence of some weeks at
Shaylyor's Patch, becomes a convert
to her cousin Stephens theory that all
things are in solution, and ones con-
duct should be regulated not by con-
vention, but by his individual opin-
ions and beliefs. n the light of this
theory, Mrs. Maxon goes to London
as the wife of Godfrey Ledstone, whom
she has met at "Shaylor's Patch. :"
without the Formally of marriage
ceremony. Her reception. or rather
n-reception, by Godfreys parents.
and subsequent desertion by Godfrey
are but incidents in her protest that
fail to dampen materially her con-
fidence In the righteousness OF her
ways. And thus she blindly stumbles
along through several cases of in
fatuation. tossed about by eddying
pools of doubt. until she becomes be-
trothed to Dick pennehy. who has
shown open disapproval of her ca
reer ali along, but whose love con-
quers his judgment.
Much might be said of Mrs. Max
on's continued devotion to her tenets.
and this II probably the one good
feature Of the book. However. even
this is dimmed by her frivolousn ess.
and the author fails to make IA strong
case in her favor. In the end one
is no nearer the solution or the ques-
ton after following Winnie's search
for the answer than in the beginning.
and tho reader Is left facing an un-
necessary problem. with no theories
or statements advanced by the au-
thor for its solution.

MAYORS VETO.

Jefferson, Tex, Aug. 8. 1911.
To the City Council of said City:
| have the honor to respect
fully veto the Franchise Ordi
nance and map attached thereto
relating to sewerage, which
passed the third reading and was
adopted by your vote on August
18th, 1911, and recommend that
same be reconsidered and an
nulled for the following reasons,
TO wit:
LIST. The outlet of the sewer
into Cypress Bayou inside the
corporate limits as fixed therein
is at a point so high up said
stream that the waters of said
Bayou will be contaminated, rem
dered unsanitary and breed dis
ease. Said Ordinance Franchise
should provide for Septic Tank
or Tanks, or Disposal Plant.
md. The Ordinance is uncon-
stitutional in my opinion, because
it undertakes to relieve the sew
err people or corporation of tax
alton for 80 years as taxation
should be equal and uniform.
Bird Section four, relating to
extensions is unjust, because
said Section provides that in no
instance can the City require
any extension of the sewer con
nection unless the charges paid
by the customers along said eX-
tension amount to ten per cent
net per arnum on the outlay
therefor.
18th. Ten years is too long to
wait before the City has the
option to purchase the sewer
plant, because the City should
have that privilege at the expira
ton of five years from this date
or at any time thereafter for the
reasonable costs of its reproduc-
ton.
5th. Because | think more
consideration should have been
given the petitions of the citizens
to have the ordinance printed
and distributed for public infor-
nation as to its contents to the
end that the very best interests
and prosperity of the City should
be done on mature Judgment.

Mayor pro tenn.

surements of said system, and of
all extensions, together with
certified statement of its initial
cost. And it is hereby agreed
between the Grantor and the
Grantees of this contract, that in
the granting of this franchise
that the construction of the con
tenplated sewerage system shall
be subject to competitive bids,
and certified copies of these bids
to be filed with the City Secre-
tary. This shall form basis for
its initial cost.
Section II. Should the said
Grantees or their assigns fail to
accept this ordinance within six
ty days and make the bond re
quired, or should they fail to be.
gin the construction of said sew
erage system or complete the
same as provided in Section Z,
this ordinance as to them will be
void, unless the time mentioned
in said Section is extended by
the said City Council of the City
Of Jefferson, and if such extern
sion is made, and not complied
with, this ordinance as to said
Grantees and his assigns, will be
null and void.
Section Is. If this ordinance
becomes void by reason of the
failure on the part of the Grantee,
or his assigns, to comply with
Section 7, this will not invalidate
any of the terms of the bond that
is to be made by said Grantees,
or their assigns, in favor of the
City of Jefferson, but the said
bond will be valid and in full force
and effect. This ordinance shall
take effect from and after it's
passage and approval, and legal
publication by the City Council
and Mayor of the City of Jeffer
son, Texas.
And all ordinances and parts Of
ordinances in conflict or incon-
sistent with the terms Of this or
dinance are hereby repealed.
