WEDNESDAY,, SEPTEMBER 3. 19l;
THE NE.y CUSTOMS COLLECTOR.

The news that the Senate Of the United
States has agreed with the President as
to the fitness of Frank Rabb of Brown
Vile for the Office of collector of customs
for this district is gratifying not only
to the friends of Mr.. Rabb both in Tex
as and in Washington. but TO the friends
of progressive democracy in south Tex
as.
The principle consideration of course
is that the President has given to the rev
enue service in this part Of the state 4
clean, hOnet, capable servant, who will
be a public servant in fact rather than
in theory. His Office will be used in the
interest Of the service. M one who
knows Mr.. Rabb can doubt either his
efficiency or his integrity.
Another gratifying fact is the cncour-
agement it gives to progressive dcmoc-
racy in this part Of Texas. the hope ii
brings of the dawn of Il day when the
principles so noblv represented by Mr..
Wilson himself shall entirely prevail in
the party affairs from the Rio Grande
to the st. Lawrence; a day when the
lid VI a iIlhiA l'ih'iN i'hN '4"ih
give place to the democracy OF Jefferson
and Jackson.
In Commenting the appointment of
Mr.. Rabb, there is no intention of diSpar
aging any gentleman who opposed him
for the office. The Herald has not the
pleasure Of knowing all the men who
sought this appointment. 1t has not
one word to say against the honesty or
ability of any of them. Mr.. Rabb was
openly, from the start. the choice Of this
paper. and we should impeach our own
honesty and sincerity if we did not com
mend the choice as the best possible
among all the candidates.
1t is realized that the appointment
of Mr. Rabb represents some d~iSappoint-
ments among WORTHY democrats: but
that of course is in the DAYS work and
cannot be helped. All good democrats.
according to the time hOn0red custom Of
good democrats, will accept the results
of the battle and give the winner any
moral support lie may need in dlScharg-
ing the duties If his office.

CADDIES FORM UNION -s
TO "HOlD UP" GOLFERS
At FORREST HILLS

Caddies on the public links ut Fo'.
rest Hills have been practising a
clever line of graft recently. Al
though the Park Department has n
rule that no caddy should charge
more than % cents a round, the bas
carriers have secretly formed a
union and levied an additional
charge Of Is cents on all unwary
golfers. Fifty cents Is the unifoi m
rate charged on all courses the
country over. The aristocratls
Brookline Country Club doesn't tax
a cent more. hut hundreds OF golfers
who play on the public links at
Forrest Hills have been subjected
to n petty holdup. A notice In the
clubhouse. signed by Commissioner
Elliot. plainly says that no caddy
must charge over 80 cents. Notwit!l-
standing this. many OF the older
boys have formed a union. and
openly boast OF their ability to get
IS cents, and this with the knowl-
edge Of the staging officials. 4
