The Early Returns.

AUSTIN. Texas, July 22.-Early re-
turns tonight from today's statewide
prohibition election point to perhaps
the closest vote on any proposition
that has ever confronted Texas vot-
ers. The "wets" are claiming on the
basis of present returns that they
have defeated the proposed dry"
constitutional amendment by major
! itys of 5000 but the greater part of
the state is yet to be heard from. The
contest appears so close that it may
be days before the final result s
known.
Dallas county containing the city
of Dallas, admittedly a pivotal point,
according to both wet and dry lead,
ers, with sixty precincts out OF
eighty-one heard from, has returned a
wet majority of 367. Bear county re
turned a majority of 5000 for the
saloon forces. Reports from Harris
county, claimed by the saloon forces
! indicate very close contest.

stitutional amendment, in case 1T car

law of the state on January 1, 1872.
It is estimated that about 100000
votes were cast at today's election.

SCHOOL BOARDS
Prof. French, of M. A. c., Explains
Proposed Bill and Deplores Incom-
potency of Some Officials.

That there are many men In charge
of school affairs In Michigan who can
not read or write, and that the law
prohibiting members of school boards
and city officials from entering into
contracts with the city, whereby they
will profit, is being violated In every
city in the state, were two startling
statements made by Prof. w. r.

auditorium, Thursday evening, follow
ing a banquet attended by 40 members
of the Detroit Municipal league. There
were present at the lecture many club
women interested in school aaffirs.
Prof. French is the author OF the so
called superintendent bill, which has
been remodeled by Prof, A. s. Whit
ney, of Ann Arbor, and which will De
introduced in the legislature In the
lear future. 1t provides for the COM
mission form of school government in

the members are TO be elected at large.
No one but qualified voter can be a
candidate. Personally. Prof. French Is
in favor of making it necessary for
candidates to be high school gradu'
ates. Discussing the evils Of the pres
emit system, he said:
"A large board of education and the
efficiency of it's operations is serious.
ly handicapped. Ward interests fire.
quently rise above city interests under
the present system, and such a condl-
ton is always fatal to good govern
ment. The insecurity of the superin-
tendent is a great hindrance to the eff.
cient management of the schools.
1.-THE commission form Of school gov
eminent would result In quick action;
all cities In the state would have uni
form laws; ward domination would be
removed; q reasonable tax limit would
be established, and the power or re-
moval and recall would rest In safe
hands
Prof French declared that, under
the present system, the state wastes

ment of the school funds.

soft coal, as the Canadians, he points
out, buy large quantities of this kind
OF fuel in the United States. despite
the fact that they produce soft coal
themselves.
of the Hammond-Standish Co.. says he
doesn't think the placing OF cattle.
sheep and other live stock on the

In Detroit, for the reason that very

cording to w. E. Brownlee, OF the

Brownlee doesn't believe that the man
who builds house In Detroit after

will save more than one per cent by
the arrangement.
Abner E. Larned, president OF the
Board of Commerce, and W.. G.
Noack, president Of the Wholesalers
and Manufacturers association, are
pleased with the reciprocal arrange
ment, believing that Detroit and the
whole OF the United States will be the
gamer thereby.
Mr. Noack points out that the resi-
dents of Canada and the United
States are all one people and he ex.
poets to see the border line abolished
entirely in time. The lessening of
the duty on clocks and watches will
benefit Canada, for the reason that
there are no makers of such articles
in Canada, Mr. Noack adds.
Hugh Chalmers. president OF the
Chalmers Motor Co., says that the
lowering OF the Canadian duty OF 35
per cent on automobiles, II the reduc-
ton be material, will mean a big i'm
petus to the auto industry in Detroit.
