the ritual murder" trial, the defendant
Mendel Beiliss, himself being more over
shadowed than heretofore
The interest has been considera bly,
quickened by the examination OF the
members OF the Cheberyak family owing
to the general belief that Vera Cheber-

concerning the murder OF little Andrew
Yushinsky. but has reason to conceal
what she knows.
She betrayed great nervousness under
cross examination and often contradioted

Exhibits in Court.

a number of exhibits produced In court
today caused much speculation They
consist OF objects found near the cave
where Yushinskys body was discovered.
What their bearing on the case is re-
mains for future eluclda ton.
Today's proceedings were enllvened by
several scenes between the lawyers. whose
discussions We're more concerned with
political and religious questions than with
the guilt or innocence OF Beiliss. In fact
his name was hardly mentioned during
the proceedings today. AT one time the
court had to Interfere and implore the
counsel 10 keep their tempers.

Ragtime DeplOred.

Inc topic OF - MUSIC was intro
duced by Mrs, /. II. Masters of Provo
one OF the best-known musicians OF
Utah. Mrs. Masters deplored the
prevalence Of the popular and sugges
tive song pnd rng time melody as 8
menace 20 musical taste, and also ia
uplifting along other lines. Other
ideas brought out in the general dis
cussion were that the taste for good
music should be cultivated in the
home. and the commendation of the
.Victrola and phonograph, with good
records, as means of giving young
America q taste for good music
A difference of opinion was expressed
as to ragtime music, some thinking it
not so bad as it was painted, and
believing that as a strictly American
product it should not be scorned, while
others thought it altogether vicious. A
discussion was provok cd as to whether.
In the ragtime melody, it was the words
or the music that was Objectionable.
Some thought the two interchangeable,
aud others that only the words had n
tendency to degrade
Discussion OF the topic of nSuper.
vised Fairgrounds was led bv Mrs.
j; NJ. Bishop of Ogden, who thought
that supervised play would have
great deal to do with the future of the
dance. Amusement for girls and bows
in ;hc high school as well as for the
children was commended in the GEN
eral discussion, and it was thought that
club women should throw open their
homes for entertainment of the biph
school pupils of their towns. Suner.
vision of the Fairgrounds in pubjic
schools was regarded as important so
that play would not be rough and chill. |

pie is like playing with fire in a pow
der house.
Mrs. Hertzberg tells the women of
Texas to write to Hon. F. NJ. Bradley,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, for literature concerning the
resolution. Yes, write him and you
can get all you want. He will even
send you a nice piece" just like the
one furnished Mrs. Hert2berg, and you
can sign your name to it and acquire
fame by having it published in the
papers.
Seriously, the several propositions
jumbled together in Resolution is
make it a too-dangerous proposition
to even be considered by the people
of Texas. Vote 1t down, and when
the legislature meets two years from
now, 1t them enact legislation tor our
schools that is direct and to the point
Free from confusion and capable of
but one Interpretation. They can wait
two years much better than they can
afford to be yoked to the issues of
good roads, warehouses, irrigation, the
penitentiaries, etc. Harvesting up our
schools with the penitentiares would
be a disgrace to the state Our schools
should no more be harnessed up with
the penitentiaries than our sons and
daughters, composing the student
bodies of the schools, should be
chained neck to neck with the con
victs and walk 'lock-step" with them.
If I should presume to suggest to
the noble women of Texas, would ask
them to urge their husbands and
brothers to vote down Resolution Is
with its uncertainty and doubt, its
entangling alliances, its pitfalls, its
and the certain check it
would bring to higher education in
this state Then | would urge the
men of Texas to set their faces reso
lutely to the task of promulgating leg
islation for the schools of Texas, that
will lift them from the quicksands and
fogs of politics, and set them on the
top of freedom, in the pure
air of independence, where they may
grow and expand until they fulfill the
destinies intended for them by the
founders of this great republic

A Few Reasons Why Senate Joint Reso-

resolution if she had done the very
thing she urges the women to do, lin.
formed herself thoroughly as to the
details of the amendment" Surely
she has accepted the honey-coated and
plausible story sent out by the advo,
Gates of the amendment, rather than
digging right down to the bottom OF
it for herself. | cannot believe that
Mrs. Hertzberg, broadminded woman
that she is, would advocate its adop-
ton if she knew the far-reaching,
deleterious and blighting influence it
will have, and the ceaseless turmoil,
strife and confusion its adoption would
occasion in our great state.
After reciting the authority it would
invest in the legislature to issue
bonds, she launches this broad and
unsubstantiated statement, that "the
institutions to be benefited are the fol-
lowing: The State Normal Schools,
the College of Industrial Arts. the Ag-
iricultural and Mechanical College and
! the State University" Note. if you
please, the cunningness of the state
ment, in naming the State University
last, hiding it behind all these other
state schools that are close to the
hearts of the people. There's a mig
ger in the wood pile" there In that
statement can be seen the fine Italian
hand of some astute politician, old at
the game, and not the hand of the
president of the Federated Women's
Clubs of Texas. No, these bonds are
not intended to benefit the several
schools named, but the State Uni
Iversity alone, the demure little crea-
Iture named last in the list Of Mrs.
Hertzberg's benefciaries.
Granting that all the schools would
get a part of the funds raised by the
sale of bonds. does not prove that it
would be to their benefit On the
Iother hand, l am persuaded it would
be the very worst thing that could
possibly happen to them. 1t would
plunge them at once into a maelstrom
of politics from which they could
never be freed should Senate Joint
Resolution No. IS ever become a part
of our organic law The scramble for
bonds by the friends of each institu-
ton would begin at once, engendering
a strife and jealousy that would never
end. 1t would soon become the one
controlling issue in every political
campaign, and would be a fight to the
death between the different institu-
lions as to which could land the great
est number of friends in the legisla-

The chairman OF the A. and NJ. Col

of letter from prominent farmer in

Dear Sir: Your favor OF May 31st,
relating to the constitutional amend

before me and in answer TO same, |
will say that the people OF this county

ity representation, as long as it can be
avoided. Personally, am not in favor
of issuing bonds to put the penitentiary
system on a paying basis, or to con-
solidate the A. and NJ College with
the State University.
IF the state farms can not declare
a dividend with minimum labor eX-
penses, how can individual farmers
make their farms pay dividend
working free labor at the present
maximum prices? Who ever heard of
a community county, or state issuing
bonds to relieve the distressed condi-
tion of a farmer because his farm
did not make expenses?
Il will refrain from putting a great
er burden on the people and advocate
until we can get on a

extreme end Of terrace for seaside
villa The house is the villa Pastine.

the statue is the work Of the Signor

the villa is built presented many diff

succeeded in building there very
commodious and comfortable villa.
The statue Is wonderfully lifellke and
is eleven meters in height The body,

A CLUB WOMAN AN
sWERS MRS. HERT zBERG

In the Houston Post of June 10Th
there was an open letter addressed to
the club women of Texas by Mrs. Eli
Hertzberg, president of the Texas
Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs
Hertzberg urges the club women to
use their influence in behalf Of the
passage of Joint Resolution No. 1S
This Resolution No. IS is so cum
ningly worded, so mixed, so mislead'
ing, so subtitle that it deceived more
than half of the legislators and state
senators who voted for it. But now
that the light has dawned upon them,
they repudiate Resolution No. IS in
toto.
1t is no wonder, then, that our pres
ident, Mrs. Eli Hertzberg, should also
have fallen a victim to the crafty
politicians and real estate dealers of
Austin (who have axes to grind
whose motives are profit and not pa
triotism.
Mrs. Hertzberg says: Every good
woman in Texas should inform her
self thoroughly and without delay as
to the details of this amendment"
Yea, verify sister club women, in
form yourselves on both sides of this
question, and may you have a clearer
vision of its meaning than did the
solons who are now apologizing to
their indignant constituents for their
terrible faux pas.
This Resolution No. IS is a subtle
strike at the A. and NJ College, that
has been the alma mater of thou
sands of the most successful and lead
ing citizens in Texas.
Knowing Mrs. Hertzberg as l do,
feel confident that when she has
thoroughly informed herself" regard
ing this Resolution No IS, she will
have a change of heart and will join
me in saying. club women of Texas,
use your inuuence against this atroc-
ious Resolution No. IS.
| submit to the club women of Texas
few reasons why Senate Joint Res
olution IS should be defeated.
Surely Mrs. Hertzberg, occupying
the position she does as president of
the Federated Women's Clubs of
Texas, would not call on the woman
hood of this state to urge the voters
to support this pernicious and baleful
