THE SENTENCE OF FELIX.

New Orleans States: A victory for
decency is involved in the sentence to
jail Of Sam Felix, the notorious over
lord of the Tenderloin. who for so long
has defantly snapped his fingers in the
fact Of Justice. The sense of citation
which every respectable man in the COM
munity feels is, however, tainged with
regret that the jurisdiction of Judge
Auction did not permit him to send this
persistent tfansgressor of the law up the
river to wear suit of stripes.
Felix has money and is able to COM
nand the services of counsel. Notice
has, therefore, been given Of an appeal
Of his case to the higher court. 1t does
not seem likely, however, that a judg-
ment win Be set aside where the evil
denee Of cowardly assault was so clear
and where the measure of punishment
so III becomes the gravity of the offense.
The King Of the Teriderloin' has cut
wide swath for many years; but the
realization that he has lost his power to
influence the courts and that he must
cool his heels behind the bars for the
next three months is likely to have a
most salutary effect on his behavior in
the future.

STIRRING UP THINGS"

II is said that DIR. Downing, president
Of the State Board of Health, is Stir
ring UP things, which he is, and as de-
veloped, this stirring up will result in
the betternent of conditions in the sec
tions of the State he has already visited
An inspection of Shreveport has dis
closed where improvements are desir-
able.
This stirring up is necessary, but
there should be a limit within reason,
Innovations must not be radical and in
demonstrations there is given the assur-
ance of steady progress.
After all, there is nothing like stirring
up things intelligently.
We believe in intelligent agitation and
in publicity, but there should be offered
something tangible and practical as rem
edials for each and every defect or short
coming which may be singled out for
criticism or condemnation.
In the proposed betterment of condi-
tions, it is not possible to reach the
ideals which may be suggested in attrac-
tive illustrations and details in picture
books.
For instance, in matters concerning
health the first requirement should be
cleanliness.
In cleanliness is emphasized every es-
sential to good health
AS germs and bacteria can not thrive
in cleanliness, the most simple rules to
this attainment will prove to be the most
efficient.
Il is well to theorize, but rules and re-
quirements which may be fitted for
States in the North would not apply to
this section, if enforced rigidly
The people as a rule will respond
readily to suggestions for cleanliness, but
there may be inflicted some hardeships
in persisting in some innovations which
would seem unavoidable. In straining
at gnat we should not swallow a camel.

BUFFALO RANCH.
1t viii Be the Only One of the
Kind In Texas.

One of the most unique charters ever
filed in the secretary of states Office
of Austin Is that of the Goodnight
American Buffalo Ranch company oil
Armstrong county, Texas
This company is capitalized at $500,
COO Charles Goodnight, the famous
ranehman, owns 1926, 600 of the stock,
the remainder belonging to DR.. c. c.
Young of Ciudad Porfrio DiaE, Mex
leo. Mr.. Goodnight has paid in
$3.50, 600 by conveying to the company
seven tracts of land in Armstrong
comfy, 5,52S acres, upon which are
extensive improvements, and by con-
veying to the company in addition
100 head of cattle, loo head of sheep,
200 head of Persian sheep, so head oil
stock hogs, span of horses, a span
of mules and feed sufficient for the
animals for the winter.
There are also conveyed seventy Ave
head of cattalo.
This is the only buffalo ranch in
Texas and one of the very few in. the
country. Colonel Goodnight has al
ways been friend to the buffalo and
has sought to prevent its extermina-
ton, He has fine home in Good
night charming little city. A de
nominational institution located there
has received at his hands substantial
support.
DR.. Young is now minister of agri-
culture of the state of Coahuila, Mex
leo. While he now bears an English
name he is Russian nobleman by
birth, and his real name could not be
pronounced by an American. Recently
the doctor was at Austin to sell some
of the Persian sheep, called earacules,
mentioned in the charter. These ami
mails bear wool of great value and are
practically unknown outside Of the
country where they are found.
DR. Young was forced by Russian
politicul conditions to flee TO Ameri-
ca, becoming professor of some meii-
cal subject in Rush college, Chicago,
and remaining in this position until
his eyesight became impaired.
It seems that In the Persian sheep
he has found means of acquiring a
comfortable income
