MARRIED WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

With B. II Carroll Jr., as press service editor.
weekly newspaper service is being issued in sup
port of the bil which will allow married women to
exercise the property rights a''eady conceded to
married men and unmarried women by the laws
OF Texas.
From this weeks budget the following argu-
mentativc excerpt is taken:
Texas men are far-minded and only the Wis
inertac stands in the way OF securing Iuster bet
ter laws The men of Texas are just willing to
trust the women whom thew make their wives,
as the women whom they make their husbands.
and the women need only to state their case fair
" and impartially TO find that the Texas men and
the Texas legislators will give them what they
want The present demands are so obviously
within the bounds of both reason and justice that
70, many years the Bar Association of Texas has
passed annual resolutions in favor OF just such
law as the Speer bill for the removal OF the legal
disabilities of married women. and for a term OF
wears the State Federation OF Women Clubs has
also passed similar resolution.
The difference is that the Texas Bar Asso-
citation resolution. passed July 4, written by
Judge Lewis R. Bryan and presented by Judge
Charles f. Ashe both of Houston was meant to
secure action in promoting measure as we'll as
marking communication of principle. No amount
of praise for principle will put that principle into
force or write it into the laws of the country until
it becomes a popular demand backed by intell'-
eence and influence. The campaign now being
waged by the Delineator and the press service fur
nished by the State Federation Of Women Clubs,
makes that principle demand and makes it pop
ular. Whatever the women of Texas really want
they get and the many organizations wheeling
into line behind the demand for this legislation
make it certain that the women want this principle
written into the laws Of Texas

on THE COMMISSION FORM

The following comment Of the Waco Times
Herald on the commission form Of government
is both timely and pertinent
The Houston Chronicle looks to the south
some fifty miles and reports as follows:
Galveston is proving to the country that u
not only has d magnificent form of commission
government, but that it also has the right kind OF
men for commissioners. For twelve years the
present city charter Of Galveston has been in
force. and during that time only slight modifca-
tons and amendments have been made in il Il
has worked satisfactorily from the beginning. Ihe
explanation Of this happy state Of affairs lies 30
the fact that the spirit as we'll as the letter Of the
law has been carried out as the trainers Of the
measure intended it should be. and that has been
rendered possible by the high character Of he
men chosen by the people to act as commission
ers
Unlike the charter Of most commission Cd,
les the Galveston charter does not require a com
missioner to devote his time exclusively to the
service Of the city The result is that the success
full lawyer banker, merchant and business man
all men possessed Of high executive and cuisines
ability-can afford to act on the commission, thus
giving the city the benefit Of their experience.
AS noted the Galveston commission has
been in existence for twelve years, and during that
time there has never been a suspicion OF graft OF
Juggling in the ctys affairs. Wdely-proclaimed
declarations Of publicity and claims OF taking the
public into the confidence of the commission have
been wanting. but in the absence OF the shadow
the substance has been there and the public has
known all the time what was being done and who
was doing it.
The commissioners being all men OF affairs
have had neither the time nor the inclination to
engage in petty grating schemes, that Calves
ton has been absolutely free from municipal scan
dals of all kinds They realize that they in
office as the representatives., not the bosses OF the
people and act accordingly. As prompt atten-
ton is given to the complaint of the humbest cit
izen as to that Of the most powerful corporation
in the city. and Justice is done to all.
The Galveston commissioners have done great
things for their city considering their available
resources.
The Houston charter is fatally defective in
that it requires practically the whole time Of the
commissioner
The business OF commissioner is to shape
policies detail work is for men employed for thai
purpose.
The salary of a commissioner should be next
next to nothing, a dollar year is sufficient
A commissioner should be elected for four
years. and a reelection forbidden.

Pennsylvania. And as so often hap

a quarrel about COW.
The cow wandered into a field Of
growing wheat and ate her fill. The
owner OF the field sued the owner Of
the cow for damages which prob
ably would have been fully covered
by a verdict of $40. But the owner
of the cow, with reputation as "a
fighter to maintain, brought cross
suit, and that started war which
has ragged ever since. II began more
than five years ago, and In that time
there have been half dozen differ
ent suits over the affair, including
one for false arrest and one for
SANDER. The litigants have already
paid upward of 81 900 and as much
more for counsel fees, and as both
parties are men of means the con-
troversy Is scheduled for long run.

Insanity Not inherited.

Most persons think that insanity
may be directly inherited" says
Homer Folks In the State Charities
Bulletin. This belief Is undoubted-
ly wrong. One may inherit a greater
or less tendency toward insanity.
Mental instability may be inherited
Just as weak constitutions may be
Inherited. Those who have reason
to believe that some of their ances-
tors suffered from mental troubles
need not be unduly alarmed, for this
fact does not make 1t certain that
they will suffer likewise. These ten
denotes toward insanity may lie dor
mant during the whole lives OF the In.
dividuals. But such persons should
take the proper precautions to- pre-
vent the development OF this tenden-
cy. ABB a weak constitution may be
built UP BY healthy habits, 30 may
mental instability be made stable by
good mental and physical habits. The
individual whose family has had men.
tai trouble may often escape the dis.
ease by proper surroundings, health
full and temperate activities. and
proper mental and physical habits.
The most important fact in heredity
ia that the vast majority OF ancestors
Of every individual were normal.
Heredity tends, therefore, rather more
strongly toward health than disease.
