destined TO pass. they will be subject
to further modification
Mayg3epeaI Insurance Board.
Another measure due for cOnsidera-
ton during the present week in the
house is the bill TO repeal the present
state insurance board This bill re-
ceived q favorable majority report by
the house committee on insurance, by
a narrow margin, which shows that
Gus opposition, il it passes at all. The
fact that the insurance companies have
not taken q hand for or against the
repeal of the act, has puzzled some OF
the Legislators.
The house Is also likely TO consider
during the week, the joint resolution
providing an amendment to the con-
endum. It is understood that several
of the members of the house have al
ready prepared set speeches to be de-
lfvered on this proposition Should the
resolution Of senator Vaughan on the
same subject succeed in passing final
IL in the senate. then the house Will
consider It, instead Of the one now
pending in the lower branch, as It
would expedite matters TO a conSfd-
cradle extent
Amending the Constitution.
While it is decidedly easy to intro
duce proposed amendments TO the
state constitution, the adoption Of such
Joint resolutions is another matter
There have thus far been not less than
so amendments proposed. and thus far
not one has been finally acted upon
bv both branches of the legislature
1t is needless to say that the great
majority of these proposed amendments
will die on the calendar ana others
viii be killed on the floor Of the house

and senate Very little attention has
thus far been paid to the joint reSo-
luton by senator McGregor, which
proposes an amendment injecting WOm-
ans suffrage in the organic law OF
the state. Grave doubt is entertained
as TO the final adoption Of this Tesolu-
ton. and the chances for the adoption
of the amendment by the people, ap-
ing 10 the views of many OF the mem
bers of the legislature
constitutional Convention
Representative Humphrey IS app2r-
emily as determined as ever to push MS
joint resolution providing for the sub
mission to vote Of the people, the
question of a constitutional conven-
ton. At first il appeared as If II
would be likely that the resolution
would be adopted, but since the IN
lection of the prohibition question into
the subject, it has placed different
phase on the matter With TINS as an
issue. If the ants stand together, these
is no chance to muster tWO-Lnlrds
vote in the house or senate on the
proposition. In the light Of recent de
velOpments, there is little doubt enter
tanned but that a section Of new con
stitutiOn for Texas would be devoted
TO the prohibition question.
Railroad Hospital Measure.
Both branches of the legislature nave
passed what IS known as the railroad
bosDital bill. which is one of the meas
but the bill is not yet In shape lot
presentation TO the governor 1or ap-
prevail The senate has passed Its
bill and the house has passed finally
its bill It is now necessary for the
house to substitute the senate bill and
pass it or the senate to take the same
course with the house bill The Oppo-
sition however, to the measure IS de-
cidedly small, if any, consequently one
or the other of the two bills IS des-
tined to become law This Dill gives
the railway employees the control OF
these railway hospitals
Platform Demands.
DESPITE the fact that platform de-
nands were to have been given pref
erence in the house, according TO the
rules adopted by that body. little at
tention has as vet been paid TO these
demands or rather recommendations
1t is apparent that the house, and the
senate. too, for that matter, are not

today, Is the perfection OF centuries
Of invention?
In the beginning 1t was a harp.
shaped piece OF wood, having two OF
three strings. From time to time
more strings were added until the
cithara was invented. This was an
instrument in the shape of a capital
P, with ten strings stretched across
the open space Many centuries after
ward musicians conceived the idea
Of stretching strings across an open
box. About the year 1900 this was
done, the dnlcirer made It's appear.

WITT hammers.
For another hundred years or so
these hammers we're held In the
hands, and theu some genius invented
keyboard, which. being struck by
the fingers, caused the hammers to
strike the strings This was called a
ciavicytherium. or keyed cithara. and
from time to time 1t was modified and
improved.
During Queen Elizabeth's time IL
was called a virginia., and then q
spinet. because the hammers were
covered with the spines of quills,
which struck and caught the strings
and produced the sound.
During the period between 100 and
1900 1t was much improved and en-.
larged, and was given the name OF
harpsichord. 1t was In I710 ;l,at

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON

4 FEW months ago two prominent Califor-
MIA men were arrested under the Mann
White Slave law charged with taking two
school girls from California to another State
for immoral purposes.
The arrests created a sensation at the time
because of the prominence Of the men and
their families.
In due time the Federal Grand Jury
indicted and the District Attorney made
ready to prosecute, as was his duty
In the meantime the father of one of the
accused received an important appointment
under the Wilson administration, and it was
soon being boosted bv the accused man that
he would not come to trial as he could pull
certain influence in Washington that would
postpone the case and thWart the District
Attorneys efforts to get him before jury.
A few days ago the District Attorney
received instructions from Attorney General
McReynolds to postpone the case until fall,
In spite of the fact that the District Attorney
had notified the Attorney General in detail
that the criminals would likely escape punish
ment if their trials were postponed-that
with their monev and the influence they were
using, and would use, witnesses would dis
appear, etc-that the government had suffi-
Client evidence to convict the criminals if the
law were allowed to take its course by letting
the trials proceed.
But the District Attorney was ordered to
let the criminals alone
McNab is the name of the California Dis
trict Attorney who wished to do his duty
toward bringing the accused prominent men
to justice, and when he received his preemp-
tory orders from McReynolds to postpone the
trial after having several times protested to
McReynolds against postponement, he very
properly fired his resi- gnation into the Presi-
dent giving both the President and the pub
lie his reasons for taking such steps
McReVnOlds very plainly showed his capa-
city for his office when his reply to inquiries
was, "a Republican hos resigned I am she'd
ding no tears, but he did not expect the pub
lie to so quickly demand his official head
x = IS
President Wilson promptly accepted the
Republicans resignation, and severely
rebul1ed him for protesting against the efforts
of McRevnolds to defeat justice, thus uphold
ing McReynolds in ordering the postpone
ment.
Yet the President turns right around,
orders the trial to proceed at once, just as the
Republican wanted it to proceed, and
appoints q special attorney to prosecute the
case for the government, instead of letting
McNab, who had worked up the case, and was
familiar with the evidence, prosecute it.
