of the chief questions which con-
fronted the administration to-day. The
answer to this question was awaited
with the keenest interest in official
circles. It was realized that upon the
attitude of the Constitutionalist leader,
General CarranZa, to great extent
hinged the extent of American mill
tary operations In Mexico. In the
meantime officials were also appar-
emily without any definite information
regarding the plans of General Huerta,
although there were rumors as to in
tentions of General Mas. the federal
commander who evacuated Vera Cruz,
to attack that city.
One of the encouraging features Of
the situation was the apparent friend
liness manifested toward the United
States by General Villa. military leader
OF the Constitutionalists, in an inter-
view with American Consul Carothers
at Juarez. and It was believed that
his attitude might have considerable
influence on General Carranza. He is

10000 Yards on Whole Job

City Engineer Cowden figured that
10000 yards or tons OF earth would
De available from the entire job. in
cluding the excavations from the
houses that must necessarily be torn
down and graded to the subway re-
quirements.
"There1l be 10000 yards there be-
fore they're finished" said Mr.. Cow
den.
Wether or not the funds to pay for
the hauling will be available is q ques-
ton that hasn't been solved in the
department of Streets and Public In
provements. Mr.. Cowden said that
about 10000 yards of earth would be
sufficient for the Front street fill above
Maclay streets, and this, at a rough
estimate of 40 cents Il yard, would
mean an expenditure of in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. "These figures
are not based on any definite data
however" said Mr.. Cowden, land the
sum per yard is just reasonable fig
ure under ordinary circumstances"
To Prepare Map of River Front
What steps, IL any, would be taken
by the city to acquire the dirt, Com
missioner w. IL. Lynch asserted he
couldn't say until after the State
Water Supply Commissions request
for cross-sectional map of the pro-
posed fill all along the River Front
from Iron alley to Division street had
been prepared and submitted to the
commission.
THE Water Supply Commission has
asked for this to see what we would
like to have DONE" explained Com
missioner Lynch, ''and to-day Mr.. Tay-
lor and Mr.. Hoffert, of the Park De-
partment, and Mr.. Justin, of the Board

WILL GIVE WILSON
FREE HAND REIGN
Ferguson Had Extended Conference
on Situation and Assured Presl-
dent OF His Cooperation.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 2i.-James n.
Ferguson, Democratic nominee for
Governor OF Texas; G. G. Mcdonald Of
III Paso, former Secretary Of State,
and George d. Armistead, postmaster
OF San Antonio, passed through 81.
Louis last night, returning from Wash
ing, where they conferred with PresI-
dent Wilson regarding the Mexican
situation.
Mr.. Ferguson, who lives at Temple,
Texas. was called to Washington by
President Wilson and at a conference
II was agreed that the National adj
ministration is to have an absolutely
free hand in dealing with Mexico so
far as Texas is concerned.
Two regional reserve bank direc-
tors, DR.. w. F. McCaleb and Joe lack
Miller. both Of San Antonio. also were
members OF the party.
The Texans placed the conditions
along the border before the President
at length and declared that interests
in the Lone Star State had suffered
through the activities Of Mexican
raiders. The President minated that
any action at this time not in accord
with the plans of the government
would be detrimental to the situation
as II now stands in Mexico and urged
the delegation TO let the Federal
authorities handle any matters that
might arise in accordance with plans
long mapped out.
The Texans said that the President
was most cordial and they were con-
ylnced that he would do everything
compatible with the administrations
plans to protect the interess OF the
States along the border.

EDITORS KNOW THINGS.

Editors are frequently asked by
some Jay who is afraid to fight HIS
own battles, to roast the mischief out
OF some fellow who has done some
thing that does not sit well on the
stomach OF the would-be rooster. They
are also frequently asked "Why didn't
you put so and so in the paper For
getting that an editors discretion in
regard TO those. things which should
and should not be published, con.
tributes more TO the preservation OF
the peace than all the laws and jails
and peace officers in Christendom.
Because certain things OF doubtful
propriety, or that have shady lean
ing. do not appear in print, the editor
is charged with not knowing what is
going on around him. The editor
knows more than you think; don't let
that escape you. He comes mighty
close to knowing the mark and brand
of every grlnnlng skeleton concealed
behind the closet doors. Commenting
on this line the Lufkin News says:
"A good many editors are said not
70 know much, says an exchange. The
trouble Is, they know a lot OF stuff
that they dare not tell. They know
who drinks and they know the ladies
who deviate from the straight and
narrow path Of rectitude, and the boys
who smoke in alleys and dark places,
and the girls who are out auto riding
till the ROSTERS crow for daylight.
They know the fellows that are good
TO pay and they know the fellow who
can't get trusted for a tobacco sack
full OF salt. They could guess at once
why some fellows are as they are. and
they can guess closely what they do
TO make themselves so. They know
enough to make one of the red hottest.
rip snorting, high-geared, triple-action,
chain-lightning editions you ever read,
but they also know it is best for the
community and themselves to let the

ment and publish only such news as

generally pursue this policy and
thereby live longer and get more en-.
joyment out OF life"

Comptroller viii Make No Recon-

Austin, Tex, Oct. 24.-Comptroller
w. P. Lane does not believe the liquor
laws of Texas are worth the paper
they are written upon. He said as
much yesterday. He also states that
he is unable to enforce them.
Mr.. Lane was also slightly petulant
when speaking Of the uselessness, as
he termed it, Of even requesting
changes to the law, should the next
administration not be committed to
Reconsideration Of liquor legislation.
Recommendation formerly made
by me were absolutely ignored he
continued. 81 think there should be
an entire revision Of the laws and
some of the provisions materially al
tered" he said
Therefore when the report OF Comp
troller Lane is compiled 1t will be I'M
usual in that II will not embody any
suggested changes of the liquor regu-
latory laws. Mr.. Lane is working on
this report at present and stated that
he would make no suggestions.
