1t will surely be a commendable
thing If any private business shall
establish a rest room for it's custom
ers. The idea is good and it stands
for an enterprise of the nose praise
worthy character. Nevertheless that
is not the idea The Herald contends
for. We need a rest DON that will
belong to the public. that will be
free as air to all the customers of all
the merchants, and even to casual
passers who are not customers of
anyone for the time being. Which
is not saying that the individual
business concern does not do well to
establish an institution of the sort
on it's own premises.

Atlefher Manatee Astray.

The fEcond manatee captured in
Laguna Madre is affording entertain
ment for visitors al Point Isabel Just
tnow. Most Herald readers will re-
member the manatee which was
caught in the bay at the Point last
summer which attracted great atten-
ton and which was taken afterwards
for exhibition purposes to many of
the large northern cities.
The manatee' caught at Point
Isabel the other day weighs 1000
pounds. For the benefit of the un-
instructed land lubber it may be well
TO explain that a manatee's other
name is Manatus Americans. alias

satisfactory, it may be well enough
to say that it is an herbiverous man.
atoid ~sirenian mammal, of the Allan

called a sea COW probably because
it has no horns and does not kick
over the milk pail. Or if this is not
the reason there must be some other.

A TOKEN FOR MOTHERS DAY.
my Dear. Darling Mother:

my Dear, Darling Mother:
Tomorrow is Mothers's Day.
I'm far away and | can not have
the privilege of giving you a
rosebud or some other beautiful
flower. am sending you a.
small token of remembrance.
| only wish | could do more,
but think of the deed as coming
from one who dearly loves his
darling, angel mother"
The writer of the foregoing loving,
beautiful tribute to mother was
Tommy Burress, mayor of Jonesboro,
Arkansas. The recipient was Mrs.
l.. r. Burress of this city. The token
Of remembrance was a check for $25.
1t is safe to say that never was
mother made happier by show of
filial love than this sweet and lovely
woma when she opened that letter.
Mrs. Burress has given the Herald
the privilege of printing this touch
ing communication from her son be-
cause she hopes it may cause some
who are also far away from their
mothers to send similar expressions
of love to mother"
1t was not the value of the token,
as expressed in the terms of u cur
currency, that touched the mothers
heart, she declares, but the love that
SO evidently prompted it, and the
tender terms in which the message
was framed.
So easy to make a mothers heart
swell with joy and pride. Easy, be-
cause it can be done without affec-
tation and without deceit. The
worst men that live and the best
that live have this in common that
they are genuine in every good word
they say to or about mother" Pity
that in the daily grind of u lives,
amidst the endless complexities and
perplexities of the days work, we
SO often neglect to pay to mother
the tribute we SO honestly owe her
the tribute of loving words and ten
der remembrance.

SATURDAY, MAY, Is, 1912.
THEORY GOOD, PRACTICE BAD.

The enormous amount of cam
paign literature that is being
franbed out of Washington this
summer no doubt will swell
greatly the amount of the pos
tai deficit. One senator alone
is credited with using-or per-
haps abusing were the better
word-his franking privilege to
the extent of sending free
10000 pieces of mail in one day.
This was Senator Dixon, Roose-
velts champion. If all the
other members of congress use
the mails free to the same ex-
tent it can be seen very readily
why the postoffice department
feels the necessity of increasing
the postal evenu from some
source.-Brownsville Herald.
The theory is that the people are
kept informed by the matter sent
out under representatives franks
and that the people, who own the
government, ought to pay for their
own education. But only a compar-
atively small amount of informative
matter is sent out under frank. Most
of it is partisan fol de rol that is
never read. If it were read it would
be misinformative to a large extent.
Still. if the people, who are said to
rule, do not reform abuses, whose
fault is it if they are abused?-Gal-
weston News.
