Under this law it will be legiti-

Under this law the brutality OF

The direct result of the election held
last Saturday to determine the adop-
ton or rejection Of an amendment
to the State Constitution providing
fol statewide prohibition. That cleo
tion resulted in the defeat of the
proposition by a very narrow mar
gin, considering the number OF
votes cast. With $4,000 votes ap-
pIoximately, the antis have won by
the comparatively insignificant mar
gin of 5000.
It is not the division of Texas thai
should concern Texans seriously as
the elimination of the negroes anc
the Mexicans as factors in the poll
ties of that State. It is surprising
that Texas has not followed Louis
lana and other states of the South
where the negroes dominated by ar
overwhelming majority. This sug-
gestion of a division is due to the
result of the recent election. Ac-
cording to the treaty of annexation
Texas may be divided into five

No Secret Cure For Cancer.

The New York Medical Record, re-
viewing recent article by DR.. y. b.
Bashford on Cancer, Credulity and
Quackery," recently published In the
British Medical Journal. notes that
DR.. Bashford has described all the nu-
merous cancer cures that have been
exploited before the public and gives
his conclusions: That a secret remedy
for cancer is possessed by no man or
woman; that if it existed its success
would speedily cause all human en-
deavor to concentrate upon its diyul-
gence, and no quack could retain it
for himself alone The form of treat
ment, which is public property-that
is, removal by surgery-has nothing to
fear, but much to gain by comparison
with its only competitor-removal by
caustics. These substitutions for the
knife are summed up in the terms

forces, also bichromate of potassium

Natural linen scalloped with gobelin
blue was the color scheme for this at

frocks of this sort are very popular

well in this style. The dress can also
be fashioned from thinner materials
such as lawn and chambray. The
work Of making the garment may be
simplified by omitting the hand EN-
broidery and trimming the edge with
band of embroidery or heavy lace
set under the edge.

that Governor Sanders had appro-

in the saddle of his seven horsepower

nine miles. He travelled 3,745 miles
but figured that more than 100 miles
of that was wasted through losing his
way and having to retrace his road.

through the snow in crossing the Sier

Harvard Professor Advocates Plan For
Perfecting Races.
Professor William @. Farrabee of
Harvard university thinks that the
great thing for Americans to do is to
improve the race in this country. This
need of improvement, he says. Is due
to the fact that In the past Americans
have been lax not only In allowing un-
fit immigrants to come here. but also
In permitting unfit natives to marry.
and thus multiply the number Of pau
pers and criminals.
He says: I'VE have had an unex-
ampled opportunity here In America to
produce a perfect race Of men and
women We have failed to do this
because we have allowed the unfit to
come here. and we have allowed the
unfit, both native and foreign. to In
crease and multiply. IL we started
now to eliminate the unfit we might
in another generation see results that
would approximate perfect race"
