M APPOINTMENT YET.

President Wilson has been out of town
Just before he departed for Gettysburg
and for his summer home at Cornish,
Y. H., where he spent the week end he
sent more nominations to the senate.
Those i'm which South Texas is particu-
Iarly interested were conspicuous for
their absence. Secretary McAdOO is max

Postmaster General Burleson has not
vet decided about the Brownsville post
mastership. 1t is doubtful if nominations
for this postoffice or for the collector OF
customs in the district with Laredo as
Headquarters will be made for a while.
Senator Sheppard is in town and has

two or three times daily for the last

Of the Underwood bill closely and prob

month of their installation and that, nc
matter what the use of the water, the
city could not get any revenue from the
reading of the meters for the month they
were installed. He stated further that
the department had been able to take
care of all current bills and that con
siderable waste had been cut out. He
remarked sofa voce that "the plumbers
are mighty busy now.". This is because
leaks heretofore unnoticed were brought
to the attention of consumers via the me-
ter route and the pocket book. About
600 water meters had been installed and
375 electric light meters were in, and he
hoped to nave the entire number in by
the first day of August.
He announced that he was compiling
figures showing the different ways i'll
which water is allowed to go to waste
and would have this printed and distrib
uted to the water consupers as soon as
he had finished the compilation.
Alderman Craig here sprung the ques-
ton of better fire protection at the plant,
to be provided by the building of a fire
proof wall, sixty by twelve feet, in order
that the city might get the advantage Of
reduced fire insurance rates, which
would be about five cents on the rate per
hundred.
Mr.. Williams said it would take about
800 or $500 to provide fire walls and
fire doors according to the underwriters
rules, so that the city might get the max
imum reduction for condition of water
plant" which in this case would be
twenty cents on the hundred dollars.
The council realized the need of these
improvements, as it would mean the saw
ing of several thousand dollars annually
to the citizens in the matter of fire in
surance rates, but the decision was that
it did not have the money and that this
would have to be deferred.
Mr.. Williams said he had all the data
relative to the reduction in fire insur-
ancc rates and knew just what had to be
done to get the reductions. The mayor
suggested that the city council get to
these matters at the very earliest posi-
BILE time.

SOME FOR FEAR OF LOBBY

BOTH ENDS OF CAPITOL, ARE IN

(Speciol staff Correspondent

Washington, ID. G., July Texans
at the Capital are sweltering with the
heat and hoping for a little more prog
rcss with tasks that must be disposed
of. The Fourth of July was a holiday,
of course, at the seat of government, but
it lasted several days. Congress and the
departments did very little for several
davs i'm advance and it will be days af-
ter the holiday before everybody gets
settled down to business and acquires
some momentum.

THE LOBBY INVESTIGATION.

All ClSt dt WLSuiIiStOn BdACS III NOhaS~
%quence, as this investigation of the lob
by proceeds. The senate committee no
longer ~snfficcs. There is to be a house
committee and soon south end and north
end of the Capitol will pulsate with the
daily disclosures. More? Yes, for it seems
that every lobby and agency is to be pro-
bed till it cries aloud for quarter. Wash.
ington has many of them. Men in the di-
vers capacities, which the public sum
marily describes as lobbyists, exist in
great numbers here. And apparently all
are to be hailed before the senate high
court or the house high court and ques-
toned. They must tell how much money
they are paid. how much they spend and
where it goes.
1t is mighty interesting gayety. Many
an old friend is unmasked to the public
in his true appearance, and many mem
bers of the senate and the house are
daily in fear of their political lives. 1t
is vertically a reign of terror for them.
Constituencies are merciless. Congress
men in these modern days must change
their standards. Suspicious have been
aroused by years of the C~hautauqua
circuit when senator was accusing SEN
atOr and representative accusing repre-
sentative. Those who were sewing to the
wind. for a few paltry sheckles, as they
sped from one rural audience to another
were planting whirlwind for the cOnl
gressiOnal fraternity at large.
But the quorum of the house and the
quorum Of the senate should prove it.
A brave man it is indeed, who risks be-
ing far away from Washington i'll these
perilOus times. The public print may
disseminate intelligence regarding him
or his immediate associates. which ne
cessitates prompt refutatiOn. He must
hasten to the senate investigating sub
committee or to the house special indig-
nantly refute and vigorously denOunce
his detractors. Few there be, against
whom something may not be said in a
lobbying connection, even though it be
of an entirely innocent character. But
the storm is sweeping by and congress
men must be ready to take care of them
selves. Nobody else will.
Certain very excellent mel will be hurt
while certain others will not get all that
should be coming to them. No longer is
the lobby investigation lightly alluded
to around the capitol. for it now con
fronts senator's and representatives in
the aspect If a very serious proposition
to them individually. The investigators
now cannot be let 90 There is much
less turpitude than the public might
presume--fOr, after all. congress is com
posed of /, fairly estimable roster of
American citizens. But the truth must
new be told and things shown in their
real proportions. In the process cOnsti-
tuencies will be educated to expect diff
ferent things and higher standards of
their public servants at Washington
and. incidentally. senator's and repre-
sentatives will learn to shun appearance
of evil.

CITY JAILOR NEEDED

The mayor stated hat it had been
called to his attention that the city need
ed a TAILOR and som one to guard the
prisoners while they worked out their
fines on the streets. He passed the mat
ter up to the street and bridge committee
with the request that they see about the
appointment of a man who could serve III
the capacity of street inspector, guard
and TAILOR and to advise OH the proper
amount of remuneration and report at
the next council meeting.
DIR. Thorn remarked that about all the
work done OH the streets lately was thai
of three men. prisoners who had put III
several culverts. 1t was his opinion
that the city should employ a competent
man to take charge of the prisoners and
of the street work, and furnish him with
a cart and turn him loose on the streets.
Alderman Kirk caused a round OF
mirth by suggesting that if the city could
not utilize the labor of its prisoners, it
might advertise to sell its convict labor
to the highest bidder
The mayor reported that the auditing
company had failed to receive the typed
copy back from Dallas and consequent
ly he could not bring it before them at
this meeting.
He also announced that he could not
attend to the appointing of the city po-
licemen for the year as Chief Tucker
had been called off just about the time the
city council met and that Mr.. Tucker
had the list in his pocket.
With regard to the police matter, AL
,nrman Craig reported that thieving
was getting rampant in his part Of the
city and that he had heard of quite a
deal of pilfering around in that section.
The committee which was appointed
to secure bids for scavengcr work and
street cleaning and sprinkling, reported
that it had not been able to come to a
decision and further time was allowed it.
The report will be made at the next u
Gil meeting.

The mayor called attention of the fact
that only three days more remained be

tise the fact.
