WOMAN FOR SCHOOL SUPERIN-
TENDENT.

The announcement of Miss Maude
Douglass Of Austin for the Office OF
school superintendent Of Travis
county brings prominently before the
people Of Texas the growing interest
of women i'm the states educational
affairs, and the growing Importance
OF woman's work in behalf Of the
public schools. While the Herald
does not wish to see women in po-
lfsieAl life, yet it feels that, If there
be any elective Office which a woman
might fill with fitness. it Il that Of
county school superintendent. I'm
doubtedly there are many women
who are fully capable Of performing
the duties Of this Office. Bee county
furnishes a very notable example
TO prove that a can make
good as school superintendent, Miss
Ida Dougherty having filled this Of
fee in Bee county for several years
with pronounced success. Miss
Dougherty has gone into her work
with a vim and enthusiasm, devot-
ing her entire time 10 it. The result
has been the elevation Of the country
schools Of that county to a very high
standard OF excellence. Reports Of
Miss ~Dougherty's work which have
been published from time to time in
the press have been Of the most fav-
orable nature and encourage he be-
lief that the office Of county super
incident Is one which may be filed
most acceptably by a woman, pro-
vided the right woman be elected.

THE CHARGE TO THE GRAND
JURY.

The other day the president Of the
United States, In an address to the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton, said that we ought all to re-
read the constitution anu the his
tory OF our institutions. It was well
said. Al times all of us appear TO
be In danger Of forgetting some
things that should be constantly re-
membered. Just because this il true
or most Of us, The Herald recon-
mends the people Of Brownsville to
read the charge delivered to the
grand jury yesterday by Judge Hop
kins. IL is good to read.
Judge Hopkins has placed the
whole question Of the purity of the
ballot so high above the level Of par-
tisan politics; the document Is SO
eminently wise. just, sane and rea-
~sonable, that il must meet with the
hearty commentator of all good
citizens, Irrespective Of political af-
hliations. Read ii. The reading will
amply repay you for time and trouble.

WANTED-A HUMANE SOCIETY.

Any thoughtful persons who j:
much about the streets Of Borwns-
vile must often have been impressed
with the fact that we need a humane
society. II Is a pressing need. The
treatment sometimes accorded tc
dumb brutes, especially to horses and
mules. upon the thoroughfares Of our
city is something that no civilized
community should tolerate.
Brownsville has reached that stage
in her development when cruelty to
living things. men or beasts. ought
TO meet with prompt and severe psn-
ishment.
Texas has on her statute books
laws for the punishment Of cruelty
10 animals. III these laws were en-
forced, there would be little need Of
a humane society. But, since they
are not enforced. the people who are
really humane should organize a So
ciety and see that they are.

BABE BORN ON train.
Passengers Vote to Name Her Sylvia

ten-pound girl for Mrs. Fred K. Ford,
a Pullman passenger.

husband, Captain Fred K. Ford, was
en- route from Holbrook, Ariz., to Chi
cago. With them was the young wife's
mother. DR.. L. c. Cummings of Han

fered his services.
When the train reached Hutchinson
there was a great scurrying about on
tie part of the feminine passengers
for flowers and other little mementos
for the mother and babe. A vote was
taken and a name selected for the
little miss. The majority decided that
she should be named Sylvia as she
was born while the train was passing

is MOTIVE FOUND BAD, SAYS RIPLEY
Government Trying to Eat It's
Cake and Have 1T.
Kills Competition by Fixing
Rates, Then Destroys Merger.

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 2S.-"In ordering
the merger between the Southern Pa
cific and the Union Pacific to be abol-
ished, the United States government is
trying to eat its cake and have it,.
declared E. P. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe, in a statement at the Hotel
Maryland today That is, by the
interstate commerce commission it
abolishes competition by compelling
railroads to charge the same rates and
at the same time it tries to establish
competition by splitting up the roads.
1t would be better all round were all
the railroads under one head, expensive
competition would not occur then and
the public would be none the worse
since the rates are fixed by the govern
ment.
1T is hard to tell just what effect
this decision is to have on the rail-
for the roads to borrow money, for
money is necessary for making i'm
provements, and it is difficult to OBJ
tain additional capital, as no one can
tell just what the government can do.
The Santa Fe itself is likely to benefit
by abolishing the merger, but it is
bad thing for railroading in general.
1 do not criticise the law of the su-
preme court decision, but it is certain
Iy a bad thing for the country
Mr.. Ripley, accompanied by Mrs.
Ripley. is in Pasadena for only a few
days, and will then go on to his winter
home in Santa Barbara.

THEY FIGHT FOR PAY.
Father Gives Up Battle Only When
Son Dies.

Iona, Colo. Dec. 2S.-After focing
a check for $500 from ]. E. Quean of
the Iona Canning company a. the
point of a gun, Jesse D. Hensley and
his ; year old son, Joseph. stood off
three deputy sheriffs for two hours IN
the main streets here yesterday after
noon. When a bullet killed the son.
the father was captured. He is be-
Ieved to be insane
The dispute arose over Mr.. Quean' S
refusal to pay for farm work done by
Hensley on the ground that the work
was not properly done. Hensley and
his son. armd with a shotgun and a
revolver. entered the factory and
marched Quean across the road where
they forced hin To- write a check.
Deputy Sheriff Nichols, who had
been summoned, then arrived with a
posse.
Hensley and his son opened fire and
a battle continued two hours the
sheriffs and Hensley firing from be-
hind lumber piles.
Finally young Hensley, mortally
wounded. staggered into the open
street and dropped. His father ran
to him and, kneeling by his son, shot
at random until the ammunition gave
out when the deputies overpowered
him.
