POSTAL RECEIPTS LARGER
THAN THOSE OF YEAR AGO

Indicating the growth and pros
perity of the city and the heavy state
of the Christmas trade here Is the
fact that the postal receipts at the
local office this month are much
larger than year ago. Last year
the stamp sale for December yielded
the office s2,232 while already this
month the receipts from the same
source amount to s2,650. 1t will
reach the $4,000 mark, according to
the prediction of Assistant Postmas-
ter Lester Cronin.
Especially good has been the parcel
post business for this year, showing
a big increase over the package busi
ness of year ago. Mr. Cronin es
Inmates that the incoming parcels
have been twice as heavy this year as
last
Two extra clerks were necessary to
assist in the handling Of the Christ
mas business and a wagon was put
on for the delivery of parcel post
packages.

JULIUS Williams VICTIM OF
DROWNING IN PECULIAR WAY
While Under Influence Of Liquor, He Falls Into Sunken
Barrel Filled With Water Along 0W. R. 4 n. Tracks
BODY is Found Yesterday Afternoon by Freight
Crew Near Gibbon- Williams Had Been Charged
With Shooting Elk and Was Awaiting Grand Jury

Lying head downward in sunken
barrel OF water along the O.-w. r.
& N. tracks near Gibbon. the body OF
Julius Williams. the Inian recently
arrested on a charge OF killing an
elk. was found yesterday afternoon by
a freight crew. Coroner II. S. Gar
field was called and conducted an H.
vestigation that convinces him that
the Indian was victim. not Of sui
cde or foul play, but of one OF the
queerest accidents In the annals of
the country. While drunk and numb
ed by cold. he believes Williams slip
ped and pitched headlong into the
barrel and was drowned in the water.
Williams was in Pendleton Tuesday
and took No. Is for Gibbon out from
which he lived on his allotment. II
was dark when he arrived ana he
borrowed q lantern from the station
agent in order to find his way home.
He was pretty well under the influ-
once Of liquor at the time, according
to the agent
His tracks In the snow showed that
he had walked along the right of way
for some distance and at one place
had tried to crawl through a barbed
wire fence but had evidently been un-
able TO accomplish the feat because
OF his condition. He had evidently
turned and had laid down In the -now
for awhile. An empty flask near the
tracks indicate that he had continued
his drinking while walking along.
From the place where h. mad laid
down, the tracks led to the steep en-
bankment upon which the track runs.
He had chosen n point TO ascent II
at the top,o of which was one Of the
sunken barrels In which is kept wa
ter for the protection OF bridges
against fire. 1t was uncovered. Cor
oner Garfield thinks the Indian aust
have been very numb and very drunk
at this time and that his feet slipped
out from In under him as he reached
the top of the incline. precipitating
him headforemost into the barrel.
The ice had been broken by his
head. which was submerged in the
water Of the barrel. Unable to eXtri-
cate himself. he had drowned. the
coroner thinks. From the bend OF
the waist the body was hanging in
the barrel while the legs ~ere lying
along the ground. There were no
marks of violence found upon the
body ami nothing to indicate but that
his death resulted by accident. His
hat was still on his heau when the
body was removed. At Is was drawn
out Coroner Garfield stated that the
whiskey ran from his mouth.
The body was brought to the
morgue in this city by Undertaken
Judd. No inquest Will be held as the

r Ii BRYAN SYSTEM"

A part of Bryan's new peace program,
as announced in the papers, seems to be
peculiarly appropriate at this time. For
now comes an opportunity to put it to a
test. His idea is that everything should
be done to give the parties III any diplo-
matte controversy Il chance to cool down
as we say in vernacular, or to get over
its mad-spell, as we say in diplomatic
circles. Just now is a chance to see how
it will work. Yesterday Austria-Hun
gary demanded of the powers that they
put Montenegro out of Scutari, without
stopping even to 90 before a justice of
the peace and file suit for unlawful
entry and detainer. If the powers don't
do it she will. She's angry now-all
peeved up and excited. Let us hope the
powers will adopt what will hereafter
be know as the Bryan System" OF in
ternational practice. Give Austria IA
chance to cool down, to consider whcth-
er Scutari is worth an international war
in which Montenegro will probably be
the least sufferer
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1913-04-25

In the meantime, no matter what con
gress does or leaves undOne, no matter
who holds Scutari, or what the relations
may be between Hucrta and DiaZ, the
Mississippi goes on calmly, smashing
the lecves, and drowning the homes Of
the people. Perhaps some day we shall
learn how to store all those waste wa
ters and convert them from agents Of de
v~astatiOn and death to instruments of
beauty, plenty and prosperity. Pity we
do not drop many less important things
and take up that matter seriously.

THE L

The partisans and champions of Coy
for which the governor stands, and for
which he fought in and out of season
even to the vetOing of platform measures,
are congratulating the state on its gov
ernOr. The governor entered the lists,
as a strong man armed with 4 fountain
pen. and saved the state of Texas from
putting the illiterate voter, and the PEG
pie who profit by him and the people
who hold Office by virtue of him out into
the cold.
What" say these good people. would
become of the citizenship of the honest
Germans, Bohemians, Swedes, Norweg-
ians and Poles, who have learned to love
our institutions, and who could not vote
if they had to make ont their own bal
lots?" TO all this the simple reply
would be:
If the ballot is worth anything TO these
people, if it represents to them the means
of expressing any lawful sentiment, or
the protection of any lawful interest, let
them pay the price the state annexes to
it, within the constitution. If that price
should be the preparation of their own
votes, ii is hard to see wherein that will
hurt them.
Yet what if all this cry about unfair
ness TO the foreigners named above
should prove to he all moonshine?
Here, for illustration, comes Represen-
tative Leopold Norris, anti-prohibi
Zionist friend and admirer of the gov
ernOr, and his supporter in most things.
and he says:
"Much has been said about the
BOehmer bill DISTINGUISHING great
numbers of Germans, Bohcmians
and Jews. Perhaps. | am a little
too sensitive or resentful when it
comes u. discussion of this phase
MI The mr4>D re. because | an a man
of NAM n~ltionalities. But speak
ing for these races, | desire to say
that the number of citizens of such
extraction that would have been dis
franchised by the Boehmcr bill is
infinitely small. If there is a class
of people who taken an interest in
public affairs it is the Germans.
BOhemians and Jews, and | might
add the citizens of other rationale
ties. Most of them left countries Of
oppression to enjoy the broad libcr-
ties guaranteed them in Free Amer
lea, and they appreciate these libcr-
ties, too, and much more than many
of our native born citizens. who have
suffered no such oppression. And
their descendants are taught a high
regard for these liberties. | there
fore venture to assert that more ma
tive-bOrn Texans of native-born
parentage would have been dis
franchiSed under the Boehmer bill
than all the citizens of foreign birth
and parcntagc combined.'

~CHlLDREN'S STRIKE.

The children's strike in Pittsburc is
worrying the police of that city. not SO
much because it is a strike as because
it is Il strike of school children. In the
nature Of things, a strike should not dis
turb a Pittsburg policeman overmuch;
yet this attempt of the children to have
a word about the superintendent of the
schools, takes them all aback. They can
not club the children, nor load them up
in the patrol wagons, nor call out the
militia and scare them with bavonets.
And yet the boys are making things live
ly. obstructing traffic and getting them
selves run over by passing vehicles. Yet
the solution of the problem is simple
enough. Yesterday one woman pushed into
the)thrOng of strikers, took her own boy.

him across her lap and argued with him

not in sympathy with the strikers.
