WATSON IS ON TRIAL
IN THE FEDERAL COURT
One Time Candidate for Presi-

Obscene Matter.

AUGUSTA, Ga, October 2O.-Thomas F.
Watson. lawyer, publicist and one-time
presidential candidate Of the peoples
party, today was placed on trial before
Federal Judge Rufus E. Foster in the
United States district court here on a
cha. ge of sending obscene matter through
the mails.
The specific charge against Watson is
that he published in the Jeffersonian IN
July. 1911, and April and May of 1917,
certain alleged questions which he claim
ed were asked by Roman Catholic priests
to persons in confessional. which ques-
tons, the Indictment alleges, are obscene
and filthy.
Attacks on Catholic Church.
These questions appeared in a series or
articles attacking. the Roman Catholic
Church and especially the priesthood.
Both sides were ready for trial and
Judge Foster at once directed the
drawing Of jury. In answer to the
petition Of the defense asking that the
government file a bill Of particulars
supplying the copies of the Jeffersonian
containing the alleged Objectionable
language, the court directed United
States District Attorney Akerman to
furnish these copies and they were at
once produced.
a motion to quash the indictment
then was presented by Mr.. McLendon,
his argument in support thereof being
extended.
Cuts Argument Short.
Mr.. McLendon's argument was fore
shortened by the court, Judge Foster
holding that the federal statute prohibit
ing the sending of obscene matter through
the mails. whether by newspaper, periodi-
cal or letter, has been declared constitu-
tional by the United States Supreme
Court, and that further discussion OF
this phase would be waste of time

Aim of Constitutional Party.

While the constitutionalists deny that
they have any intention Of seeding from
the rest of Mexico, their intention has
been to show conclusively that they can
govern the territory and people and they
control in a constitutional way. This Is
expected to have a strong effect in WASH
ington.
1t Is not expected here that President
Wilson Will make any expression OF
his policy until after the elections
The manner in which these elections
are conducted, with the result attained.
Is looked forward to as the best means
possible of determining what kind of
government Huerta is conducting.
The arrival in Washington Of Senior
Manuel Bonilla, member of the Ma
dero cabinet at the time Of the latters
overthrow, Is being awaited with great
interest by the constitutionalist repre-
sentatives here. inasmuch as he Is ex-
pected to bring first-hand Information
respecting the situation in Mexico City.
He is expected to arrive here Wednes-
day.
The means by which he was forced to
leave Mexico In disguise were pointed to
by the constitutionalists here as typify-
ing conditions as they really exist. show
ing absolute lack Of guarantee for lie
or property.

/. BUSINESS CITY GOVERNMENT


The question of a thorough-going,
business municipality or city govern
ment, and how to make them, is being
discussed now more than ever before
in the history of the world. Towns
and cities all over the country are
awakening to this new thought, and
are coming to the realization that bet
ter municipal business methods are
needed. Like Bryan, they are earnest
ly trying to solve the problem of sub
stituting a more concrete and thor
ough business form of government for
the old-fashioned, out of date, and slip
shod methods that have obtained since
city governments were first estab-
lished.
They are, like Bryan, getting the
best service it is possible to get under
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen"
plan. There is practically no salary
to these offices, and the members Of
the Council can not and are not eX-
pected to neglect their private bust
ness to attend to the business of the
public. 1t would be unreasonable to
expect them to do otherwise.
The expert business manager" plan
is growing in favor everywhere. By
this is meant that the Mayor and
Council act as a legislative body and
employ an expert manager to execute
every detail of the city work. Wher-
ever tried this plan has proven highly
satisfactory-eyen more so than the
commission form. The Waco Times
Herald, where the commission form
prevails, has the following to say in
regard to expert business managers:
Let the board of directors-the five
mmissioners-serve without pay,
and let them employ experts to do the
work, the results being the determin-
ing factor as to their retention and
what they are worth. Why wouldn't
that be the sensible plan of conduct
ing the big corporation known as a
municipality?

FOR THE COLLEGES.

1t would be happy conclusion of
a very disagreeable matter If the
University of Texas and the State
Agricultural and Mechanical College
could be permanently divorced. Let
this be done, the permanent univer-
sity fund eQuitably divided, and di-
rect tax imposed for the support of
both institutions. This will do away
with the neverending fight for appro-
priations for the two schools, and end
a world OF unpleasant controversy
Bryan Eagle.
This is one divorce we have long
advised, and that the State pay big
alimony to both parties. Neither of
these institutions needs the other and
each is hampered by dependence on
the biennial hat-passing of the Legis-
lature. The suggestion that the per-
manent fund be equitably divided is
frequently reiterated by the best
friends of the college, and in all fair
ness the A. and M. should have its
share of the fund. But the present
Legislature may not accept such an
adjustment of the permanent fund
question. The best that can be def
initely expected is that the college be
given direct special tax of relatively
as helpful an amount as the univer.
sity, for it has infinitely fewer re-
sources and is entitled to be as well
supported as the Austin institution, as
regards the maintenance tax proposed

AS chairman of the House commit
tee ON rivers and harbors, Mr.. Burton
fought the pork grabbers" for years
and in vain. He saw millions wasted
in worthless projects" while impor-
tant waterways were neglected. In one
instance, he points out, the Red River
in Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas,
100000 has been spent, and in 1911
the amount of freight carried down
the stream was sixteen tons of pro-
visions, twenty-six Of fish, ten of ice
fifty-two tons in all. The Government
appropriation last year was $4,000
1861 for every ton, outside of saw-logs
carried on that part of the stream
being improved"
It's the same way with public build
ings. Little towns of 1000 to 5000 pop
ulation get buildings costing from
$4,000 to $150,000. Pierre, S. d., 1900
population, has a postoffice costing
$4,000. Interest on the investment
alone is $1,000, not including cost of
maintenance.
We must be at work on at least half
a hundred river and creek improve
ments that never will pay the cost of
dredging. And the Atlantic inland
waterway and other important under
takings are compelled to wait.
Is it any wonder that appropriations
by Congress run over a billion dollars
a year?
