lnaugurated In July, 1905, the PRES
ent government found floating debt
of over 100000, and an empty treas
ury, The city virtually had no credit.
There was not a single merchant who
desired to transact any business with
the local government Gloomy as the
prospect was, the authorities went
"Uout thcI thsk Win ueLeTmluh-
ton to better conditions. Useless and
expensive Offices were abolished, and
some consolidated. A national bank
was made treasurer of the city, al
lowing a salary of only $50 month
for clerk hire and the bank to pay
interest on all balances to the credit
of the city.
Phe city attorney was instructed to
institute and file suits for delinquent
taxcss This caused to flow into the
lefty -sssasusy nearly sa9e. .o00-ia eight
months from this source alone. By
the strictest economy the administra-
ton redeemed in the first eight months
of the term $3O6,202.47 of the old
floating debt, besides paying the
monthly bills promptly, as well as the
salaries of the employees.
By this time the merchants Of the
city were anxious to do business with
the local city government, and credit
was restored at home and abroad.
In the FIVE and half years of COM
mission rule the city of Houston has
wiped out all floating debts and has
given to the taxpayers out of the
treasury without the issuance Of
single bond, permanent improvements
of an aggregate cost of 81 1856, ,75717,
and other extraordinary expenses ag-

Who is it that train our young
women to blush when babies are men.
toned?
How often have we seen women
arise and leave the room when some
sane but simple-minded friend of the
race expressed himself on the sub
ject of increase in the family.
Men have no shyness in discuss
ing babies; they do not change the
subject and get flustered and all that
sort of thing, as though something
disgraceful were being broached.
But men are brutes, anyhow.
Most Of the poems written about
motherhood are from the pens of men.
Someone has tried to blame the de-
creasing birth rate (if it is decreas-
ing) on woman suffrage. We shall
have to go in some other direction for
the reason.
Men do not pity man who is the
father of new baby; women say,
Poor Mrs. Blank" both before and
after the baby arrives.
The truth is that babies are coming
to be regarded as nuisances, as him
drances to the enjoyment of life, and
as subjects which are not discussed
in polite society.
1t might be we'll, in view Of the
fact that we were all babies at one
time or other, to organize a Bless the
Babies league and re-educate our wo-
menfolks back to the old human stand
ards.
