We understand that work is to be
started some time this week on the
new road between here and Camp
Ozark at the dam. The project also
calls for bridge over Swan creek, and
we sincerely hope the way will be clear
to build a good concrete bridge when
the time comes. That is the only
real permanent kird Of a bridge to
build, and as all the materials are right
at hand except the cement, it would
also seem to be the cheapest to build.

THE TWENTY-ONE ACRE CRIME.
Discussion OF the Unconstitutionaiity OF
Governor COIuuitt's Proposed Law.

To THE EDITOR op THE SuN--Siri I
have read with much interest the edi-
torial article in THE SUN this morning
entitled '"The Twenty-ono Acre Crime"
There would seem TO be no doubt that a
statute such as recommended by Cover
nor Colquitt would be clearly unconstitu-
tlonal, but I have some doubt as to the
application OF the provision OF the Texas
Bill of Rights and the Fifth Amendment
to tho Constitution of the United States
referring to the taking OF property for
public use without due compensation. This
proposed statute would seem to be clearly
covered by tho following provision OF the
Fourteenth Amendment to tho Constitu-
ton OF the United States:
Nor shall any state deprive any person OF
hfe. liberty or property without due process
Of law.
1t may be doubtful whether there would
bo n taking OF the property for public use
under this statute so as to be covered by
the Fifth Amendment, but there would,
undoubtedly, be a deprivation of the prop
erty without due process OF law under the
Fourteenth Amendment. because the de-
prival OF the use of property In a legiti-
mate way Is equivalent to a deprival OF
the property itself
In the case Of Algeyer vs.. Louisiana,
1876 Y. s., SIS, at page $50, Mr.. Justice
Peckham OF the Supreme Court used the
following language in the opinion in con-
STRUNG tho word liberty as used In the
Fourteenth Amendment TO the Constitu-
ton:
As so construed We think the statute Is
a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment
to tho Federal Constitution in that It de-
prives the defendants of their liberty with
out due process Of law. The statute which
forbids such act does not become due proc
ess OF law because 1t Is inconsistent with
the provisions Of tho Constitution Of the
Union. The liberty mentioned in that
amendment means not only the right Of the
citizen to be free from the mere physical
restraint OF his person. as by Incarceration,
but tho term is deemed to embrace the
right Of the citizen to DO FREQ In tho en-
Joyment of all OF his faculties. to be free
to use them In ell lawful ways. 20 live and
work where he will; to earn his livelihood
by any lawful calling: 10 pursue any live
iihood or avooatlon. and for that purpose
90 enter into all contracts which may be
proper. necessary and essential 20 his carry
ing out to a successful conclusion the pur-
poses above mentioned
These views enunclated by Mr. Justice
Peckham less than twenty years ago. may
seem a little old fashioned, but think
they are worthy OF consideration at this
time, I'm view of hysterlcal legislation the
object of which seems to be to deprive
person not only Of his liberty but OF
his property and the right to use II in u
legitimate way as well.

The statement that the Germans Will
Use Antwerp AS a naval base to attack
England Is purely fantastic In the pres
ent phase Of the war. In doing 30 they
would Violate the neutrality OF the
Netherlands. through which the Scheldt
passes for many miles between Ant
werp and the sea. While guaranteed
neutrality cannot he regarded any
longer rs an effectual bar to German
military operations. it will hardly he
supposed that the Kaiser and the Cen
eral staff are anxious to incur attack
by the Dutch army of 100000 men now
under arms. according TO the Consul
General of Holland In New York.
Apart from this. no attack can b.
made on England from Antwerp or
anywhere else without transports and
a battle fleet. Germany has neither at
Antwerp, nor is there the slightest
means of improvislng them there. Nor
is there any way of sending ships there
except through the North Sea. If Ger.
many could navigate the North Sea
with safety It would have no need To
go to Antwerp.
II the attack on England by Ger
many is to be aerial. the capture of
Antwerp has little or no relation 10 the
undertaking for Brussels would serve
quite as well, or even Liege about ms
well, as the base for an invasion OF
Britain by means of Zeppelins. They
involve no flight over any part of
Holland.
The great immediate gain to Ger
many from the fall of Antwerp IS the
release Of the besleging force to reen-
force her lines elsewhere The great
permanent gain. in case of her general
success in the war, is the establish
possession Of this important and long
coveted port of sea commerce.

FROM FARM TO CITY TABLE
suggestion for Extending the Parcel
Post system.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-ST! A.
present the Government is permitting the
shipment OF nifty pounds OF farm prod
ucts within tho first and second zones
The second zone has a radius OF $50 miles
II this il increased only to n radius Of
200 miles It will just about double the
area of the zone.
Tho cost of transportation would be tn
creased very little because tho overhead
charges would remain about the same
Tho cost OF collection and distribution at
the points OF origin and destination would
be tho same. The cost of railway trans
portaton tho few extra miles would be
very little in ADDITION.
This plan would give the dvellers In
tho city just about twice the area 20 draw
their food from. and In turn the number
OF dwellers in the country would be
doubled who would get reasonable cost OF
transportation on the products they pur-
chase from their city merchants and man
ufacturers.
Could this not be worked out for the
general benefit OF both city and country?

Statistical Review OF a Campaign
Text Book.

We are indebted to the Democratic
the partys new text book for 1914.
This is issued under what a literary
press agent would undoubtedly describe
as the gripping" title OF Thank God

a campaign text book, but 1t is uttered
by the compilers in bold black letters
and with evident fervor

blank page of the family Bible, THE
Sun has been in the habit OF receiving
and examining from time to time these
guide books and creed books of loyal
partisauship, commenting occasionally
upon their technical merits. A long
familiarity with the methods OF pre-
senta ton practised by the Republicans,
the Democrats, the Prohibitionists, the
Socialists the Progresslves, not to neil
ton innumerable organizations of a
more ephemeral character, may posi-
bly, qualify us to speak as an expert
on the subject. In that capacity, there
fore, we declare without hesitation that
no such campaign text book as this

forth by any political party.

MIR. Bryan on tho stump.

The story Is told of Mr.. BRYAN that
his reputation as a total abstainer was
In great danger at a recent banquet In
this city when unwittingly ne raised
glass of champagne from the table,
mistaking 1t for the aeated juice OF
the apple; n friendly hand intercepted
the treacherous glass and the secre-
tary Of State was saved. Mr.. BRYAN's
reputation and his moral grandeur are
in greater danger in Ohio to-day, where
he has taken the stump for the Demo
cratic party. The Republicans are ad-
vocating prohibition, and the people
will vote on the question in November;
Mr.. BRYAN's party Is standing In with
the liquor interests.
In Ohio Mr.. BRYAN Is urging that
every Democratic candidate for office
be elected. He asks his hearers to vote
for Governor Cox, for TIMOTHY s. Ho-
GAN, the party's candidate for United
States Senator. who doesn't care about
grape Juice as a beverage, and for
every Democratic Congress nominee. In
Nebraska Mr.. BRYAN opposed an anti
prohibition candidate of his own party
for Governor, but not word Is now
said in criticism OF Governor Cox. who
Is candidate for reelection on an
antiIprohibitton platform. Mr.. BRYAN
sings his praises and finds the State
administration admirable.
The Secretary of State is also being
harassed by the women suffragists of
Ohio, who ask him to say something
for their cause, pointing out that he

great fervor His conversion was
rather sudden, but he explained that he
