CLARION APPEARS
In East Texas and Cattle Are
Largely Attacked,

Charlton, cattle disease, is said to
be quite prevalent in certain sections
OF east Texas, and, in fact 1t Is as
near an epidemic as it has ever been,
according TO DR.. Hartman, assistant
state health officer, who has returned
to Aust from a tour Of inspection OF
that section. DR.. Hartman found
large number Of cases, q majority
of which are in Orange and Jefferson
counties, He also found that many
head Of cattle are dying from the dis.
ease. Owners of the stock, however,
assisted by the local authorities, are
vaccinating the stock and quarantin
ing those already afflicted.
The last legislature passed a law
prohibiting the spread of Charlton and
providing that the carcasses OF cattle
dying from the disease must be at
opce burned. DR.. Hartman has been
charged with tbs duty of seeing that
this new law is enforced There IS q
commercial remedy which is also be-
ing used on the affected stock. There
have been large number OF cattle
that have already died from this dis
ease, which is said to be quite fatal.
Owners Of the cattle all expressed q
willingness to comply with every pro-
vision Of the new law, and Dr.. Hart
man says that from present indica-
tions it will not be long before charbon
will have been eradicated.

Compromise Denounced.


In an editorial headed Business
and Principle" the Monroe News
Star says:
Owing to the rush and confusion
incident to moving, the NeWs-Stal
did not find time Saturday to COM
ment upon the compromise between
the Tensas Basin Levee Board and
the Tensas Delta Land Company
which was cOnsummated Friday
last. We do not desire to question
the motives which inspired the
compromise, nor is it our purpose 20
unnecessarily censure either tn
Leyee Board members or the repre-
sentatiyes Of the land company. We
assume that all these gentlemen
were actuated by what they con-
ceived to be for the best interests
OF all concerned, and we are frank
to admit that, possibly, the compro-
mise, considered from a financial
point of view, was both fortunate
and desirable. We take it that the
gentlemen who are members Of the
Levee Board had no other motive
than to serve the best interests Of
the people, and certainly the repre-
sentatives Of the land company
were acting for the best interests Of
their clients. 1t is possible that had
the matter reached the Federal
court in trial on the merits Of the
case, the Levee Board would have
secured q decision vastly increasing
the financial benefits. 1t is also pos
sible that a judgment would have
been rendered denying the conten-
tions Of the board and quoting the
land company IN the possession Of
all the land involved. Therefore,
viewed strictly from the point of
business policy and as a matter OF
expedieney, we confess that the.
compromise has the appearance Of
being good thing, bringing, as it
does, a large sum Of money to the
board at d time when money is 50
badly needed.
This is the business view of a
transaction that should have been
condemned and should be repudiat-
ed. Il is tainted and has been radi-
only disapproved by the Governor,
who, seemingly, has yielded to the
ompromise. But it is refreshing to-
observe that Attorney General R. G.
Pleasant il unreseved in his con-
demnation Of the bargain and con
dennis the compromise Of the Ten
sas Levee Board with the Lacy land
people for 100000 cash. He is
quoted as having said 1T would be
far better for the State or any OF
her political agents to lose abso-
lutely the case in which fraud isl
charged than profit enormously
financially BY compromising the
question Of fraud. Government is
not created for the purpose Of max
ing money, and especially is it mott
created for the purpose Of making
money in this matter. The law hasl
given me no power to direct or con-
troll the policies Of the Tensas Levee
District, and ! could therefore only
fight this case through the courts,
and express my personal views with
reference to the proposed compro-
mise. am emphatica1ly opposed to-
the compromise referred TO-"
IN the face Of this eonde nnationl
and denuneiation, will the compro-
mise stand It should be repudiated
and the law should be permitted tol
lake its course, criminally and
civilly

CITY PARKS ARE
POPULAR
NOW
HOT WEATHER CAUSES MANY
PEOPLE TO SEEK THE COOL
SHADE OF THESE TRACTS

A number of the Older residents
of the city have noticed this summer
that the popularity of the city parks
is more pronounced this year than
ever before. The parks have been
kept in good condition for several
years but the residents of the city
did not appear to appreciate them
as they should. This summer, how
ever, the people seem to realize that
shady spot in one of the parks Is
the coolest place in the city, SO at
all times of the day people may be
seen resting there and in the even
ing the parks are always popular.
Much credit belongs to the park
commissioners for the general i'm
provement that has been made in the
parks, which has been the direct
cause of their being much used. The
work that was started some time
ago on the triangular park on Grand
avenue near the Sundt planning mill,
has placed that spot in fairly good
shape for this year and by next year
will have made the park among the
prettiest in the city. Park Commits
I sioner F. o. Blood, however, is at a
i loss as to what name shall be given
this diamond-shaped spot, and he has
requested that all those citizens VINO
are interested in the naming OF the
unnamed city parks shall presen'
their ideas, that an appropriate title
may be selected.
The parks are but one OF the many
things that go to make town OF
city show a progressive spirit anc
now that the parks have received
the hest Of attention it is up to the
residents of the city to take an equa
interest in their homes and resi-
dences, say the city boosters. Tn'
more fences that are removed, ane
the more weeds that are eliminated
the better will be the appearance Q
the city.

newman SAYS HE
Will ARRIVE
SUNDAY
Is OBLIGED TO REMAIN IN DEN
YER ON ACCOUNT OF CHA
VEz's BATTLE

Louis Newman, who claims the pos
session of the lightweight title in the
Rocky Mountain region, has informed
Charles O'Malley, the fistic promoter
that he will arrive in Las Vegas with
cut fail either Sunday or Monday. He
stated that the cause of his delay was
on account of the match that was ar
ranged between Benny Chavez and
Kid Peppers at Denver, which will be
fought tomorrow.
Both Chavez and Newman will re-
turn to this city either on Sunday or
Monday and will begin training as
soon as they arrive. Chavez is the
favorite in Denver for his coming bout,
but Peppers is a fast lad and may take
the champion down notch, according
to the ring experts at Denver.
Just before leaving Las Vegas after
his last battle here Newman requested
of Charles O'Malley that he arrange a
bout for him with Leach Cross, who is
at present in California. It is not
known whether Newman is still anxi-
Gus to meet the fighting dentist, since
Cross recent winning battle with Bud
Anderson, but he may consider him
self mcIxy that he has not signed up
articles with the dentist for a bout
when Cross returns from California
on his way home to New York. Yoa-
hum is said to be the favorite here,
as Newman's popularity has begun to
wane Yoakum will start training on
Monday, and Newman will begin as
soon as he arrives.
