The Herald is glad to know that many
If the best newspapers cf Texas hold
the same views with it not only as TO
the need of the amendment but also as to
the meaning of it. For this reason we
gladly quote the following from the
Corpus Christi Caller.
The University Of Texas needs funds,
Owing to a congestion Of facilities. mel
Their institution is doing the extensive
educational work Of which it is cap
able.
Lands are owned but without the right
of mortgage. In other words. the WI
-rship is not complete. The property
may be held, but not realized on by
means of a loan. Such ownership is a
farce. 1t represents latent wealth, power
undeveloped.
On July 10, by voting for the Con
stitutional Amendment designed to make
this property available for improve
ment purposes, Texas can provide its
boys and girls with educational advan-
tages in keeping with the wealth and
dignity Of the state
If adopted. the amendment will not
add one ccntavo TO the tax rate. 1t will
merely make possible the issuance OF
bonds for improvement purposes the
issuance of bonds on properties already
dedicated solely to the purposes antic-
ipated. Rentals derived from the school
lands are adeuate to create Il sinking
fund to retire the bonds in the term
stipulated. All interest can be met
promptly, and the taxpayer will not have
to dig up for the further development
Of educational institutions, as he will
certainly have to do if bonds are not
made possible.
A campaign fund has been raised with
mics, injecting politics into a non pol
itical issue, are fighting desperately to
thwart the best interests Of the people.
In their vigorous protests, they are not
adhering strictly to facts. They would
leave the impression hat the legisla-
turc will not be restricted in the isSu-
ance of bonds and that the burden upon
the taxpayer Will be greater because Of
The improvements contemplated. This
is clearly in error.
1t would not be so bad if the houses
of our big rich university were merely
shabby. if they were not. some of them.
so disgracefully unfit for the purposes
for which they were constructed.

FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1913.
IDLE WEALTH.

Recently there appeared in the Herald
as in many other Texas papers. some
pictures showing houses on the campus
of the university, in sharp contrasts to
a stately high school building in the
city Of Waco.
These shacks are not there because
the university is poor but in spite of
the fact that the university is rich.
This campaign for the constitutional
amendment does not rest II any theory
that the university is insolvcnt, but on
the theory that it is entirely solvent. In
passing the amendment the legislature
proceeded on the theory that the univ
ersity had an income from its cndow-
ment sufficient to pay interest and pro
vide a sinking fund TO discharge the
debt.
The university is rich-too rich to be
housed entirely or in part by such build
ingS as are shown in the cut.
The university is so rich that it is bad
policy and bad business to allow its re
sources to lie idle. It's income, down to
the last penny. should be used for the
legitimate expenses OF the institution
and for bettermentS. What other use is
there for the money? For what other
purposes was its endowment created.
Who is the better for the idlcness If its
funds?
The shackS in the picture do not show
poverty; they show lack Of business
sense Somewhc here; they show lack of pride
in the people Of TcXas-in all of us.
Long. long before this We should have
demanded the worth Of our moncy-the
worth of at least the last cent Of our
money for the improvement Of The great
institution for which cur money was
provided. 1t is not Il question of pow
erty but Of wealth miSapplicd-or rattle
wealth not applied but. living idle. Tex
as university is not pOor-but rich
enough TO borrow and repay, interest
and principal, the money il needs for
improvements il needs.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1913-07-18

There are two really fine, modern buil-
dingS at the university Of Texas. One is
the lighting and heating plant. The eth
err is the new library building. They
have had the good sense to place the Ii
brary between the street and some of
the other houses.

reformatory girl I'd seen her
before, at the reformatory.
I didn't say a word. l treated
her exactly as l had always treat

and she left a letter for me. In
it she said many things. One
of them was this: You know
me: don't you? I believe you
do. I thought ! could be differ

READ q Dflllldut story Dy q
brilliant writer the other day.
Did you happen to read it, too2
1t was about a woman who
lived down behind the tracks"
in a country town She was
woman who Haunted the streets
in a gorgeous hat and expensive
gowns. She wore bangle brace
let's that jingled and rings that
spar<led, and high-heeled slippers
and open worked" stockings.
and the men grinned sheepishly
when she passed, and nudged
each other, and the women looked
the other way and pretended they
didn't even see her.
One day the woman from be
hind the tracks" bought a house
uptown and moved into it-a
neat, pretty little house. with a
garden and trees, and she dug in
the flower beds and watered the
lawn and put out hanging bas-
kets, and she went to market in a
little checked Bingham, and she
looked wistfully over the fence
when the neighbors went by, but
nobody ever spoke to her at all.
One night a baby was taken
sick in the neighborhood and the
woman from behind the tracks"
saved its life. The next day she
stood out on her porch and wait
ed TO see the baby's mother go by
And the baby's mother went by
and did not see the woman from
behind the tracks" at all, and
the woman from behind the
tracks" went and sold her
little new house and the
garden and all, and went
back behind the tracks" to live
and all the people i'm the village
pursed their lips and said, shes
gone back-they always do"
What Did She Expect?
Good story wasn't it, and a
good slap at the narrow-mind-
ed little mother who wouldn't
make friends with the woman who
had saved her baby's life?
We need a few such slaps as
that, we women; and yet
I wonder what the woman from
behind the tracks" expected
when she bought the pretty lit
tie house and the garden, and
went to live among decent peo-
pie?
Did she think they would get
out the band and meet and greet
her at the doorsteps, or what?
You choose your friends be-
cause you like them, and like
their klnd-not because somebody
else thinks you ought to like
them.
If the woman from behind the
tracks" had come to the village
from somewhere else and no.
body knew thing about her, do
you think the neighbor women
would have liked her anyhow? I
don't.
She wasn't their kind; never
was, never could be. She be-
longed to a different world, and
every time she turned her over
blended head and every time she
opened her od-humored, too
easily pleased mouth, and every
time she laughed her rather
coarse laugh, she would have told
what she was, and no woman of
any fineness of perception could
have been mistaken in her for
minute.
No, l don't mean what she had
been. That isn't what would con-
Germ a kindly woman who was
trying to decide whether she
wanted her for a neighbor or not.

DESIRE PRIEST
RETURNED HERE
ST. Stephens Polish Church
Will Meet Tonight

A mass meeting of members of the
parish of st. Stephens Polish Catho-
lie church will be held tonight at
Pulaski hall, at which is to be dis
cussed the effort being made by
large number of the parishioners to
have Father Peter Wieczorek REIN
stated as priest here. Rev. Father
Wieczorek was transferred from this
place to New Brunswick and Father
Urban placed here In his place by the
bishop of the diocese. On the resig-
nation of Rev. Julian Zielinski some
time ago, Rev Mr. Wieczorek, who
had been curate under him, was
given charge OF the parish, but latar
transferred to New Brunswick.
The church members, ever since
this change, have been dissatisfied
and that dissatisfaction has recently
eliminated In a number OF meetings
being held for the purpose of bring
ing their favorite priest back here
from New Brunswick. A petition
signed by some 500 names was pre-
sented to Bishop McFaul asking him
to retransfer Rev. Father WlecZorek,
The petition was later followed by q
delegation from the mems societies
Of the church, and the bishop prom
ised to consider their request, but as
yet nothing has been done in the
matter. Yesterday another delega-
ton from the women's societies Of
the church visited the bishop with q
petition of about 200 names, and to-
night the results OF the above activi-
ties will be considered at Pulaski
hall.

MYSTERY OVER
CABARET SHOW
American Garden Opens Up
Show CIiqus's Permit

A cabaret show is being conducted
Illegally in the palm garden of the
American Hotel at 1919 Smith street,
according to the contention of Excise
Commissioner Daniel W. Boehm. The
police closed 1t up together with
others Saturday night. When it was
again intended to stop the show yes
terday the authorities were confront
ed with written permit to conduct
the show, alleged to have been signed
by President Nels Hansen and Com
missioners Hugh j. Gallagher and
Michael Seaman, the controlling
clique of the Board of Excise Com
missioRers.
When and where this permit was
granted is a mystery. The applica-
tions of j. f. Ernst and Dennis j..
Flynn for cabaret shows In their
places in New Brunswick avenue and
Hobart street, respectively, were re-
ceiyed and balloted upon as were
license applications at the last regu-
lar meeting of the Excise Board in
city hall last Thursday night. There
were no applications on hand for
similar shows in the College Inn and
American Palm Garden. They were
accordingly closed Saturday night.
Commissioner Boehm states there Is
no show at present in the College Inn
and he considers the one conducted
in the American Palm Garden to be
Illegal. He said the alleged permit
for the place was signed by two
commissioners, and considered that
the police should stop it.

that the business was to be trans

brothers, of Roosevelt, some time to-
day.

board, that the board serve him or

Mayor Ferd Garretson, father OF
the elimination movement, and other
city officials favor depression in pre-
ference to elevation. They are un-
desirous Of having the city divided
by an elevation of railroad tracks.
Likewise, do they claim, the appear
ance of the city would not be marred
by depression OF tracks as it would
by elevation. According to the city
surveyors ideas, it is suggested that
the Lehigh Valley tracks be depress-
ed about eight feet and the Central
tracks about twenty-five feet.
While there will be no concerted
move to secure large attendance at
the adjourned hearing, Mayor Ferd
Garretson is anxious that as many as
possible appear in behalf OF the city.
1t is likely that City Surveyor Ma
son will be the principal witness for
the city. Mayor Garretson will be
on hand, together with other wit
nesses for the city. 1t appears un-
likely that other than Mr.. Mason
will be called by the city to testify.
