AUSTIN ON THE JOB.
The Second Division Camp Wanted
for the Money II Would Spend.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: l
have to-day seen "a copy OF The SUN
of August "a which contains "A COM
munication concerning the camp OF the
Second Division, United States Army,
at Texas city, and the graft connected
with It. The letter over the signature
Cavalry" was evidently written by a
man fully acquainted with the facts.
The army feels much indebted to THE
Sun for publishing the letter.
While In Houston trying to secure
quarters for my wife and family, who
we're sufferers OF the storm at Texas
City. l happened Upon a copy of the
Austin American. Austin. like many
other towns In Texas, is trying to Sc
cure the camp of the Second Division,
and the motive back OF II and the
means by which Austin would procure II
are set forth in that paper.
Here Is an explanation OF how the
thing Is to he done. 1t will be noted
that Austin has Mr.. Gregory and Mr..
Burleson of the Cabinet busy on the
job. Texas Senator's are at work and
the local Congressman has his shoulder
to the wheel. while the potent influence
of the redoubtable Mr.. House, accord
ing to the Austin American. has been
invoked to have the troops that have
supported Texas City for two and a
half years sent to Austin. They want
them sent to Austin not because 1t Is
suitable or convenient or because the
town Is particularly patriotic. but be-
cause, to quote the Austin American:
Five thousand troops In Austin would
mean about s25 900 to 100000 monthly
spent for mere food consumption OF
private soldiers. and cottages
for the army officers which have been
aI.ptaI n. nNASaa quo rant for M nltINh
as $50 a month. This rent in
come would amount to several thousand
dollars monthly" In connection with
his last point, which has been duly
pointed out to the Cabinet at Washing
ton. | wish to say that the shack at
Texas City for which I paid $50 a
month cost the pirate who quilt II less
than sl,100.
There Is no doubt that other States
at other times have soft footed into The
Presence at Washington and secured
distribution OF the army appropriation,
but none of them has been so raw about
II as the state OF Texas. There Is
nothing very modest about Texas, as
evidenced by the fact that they are
now trying to burglarize the Federal
Treasury OF $4,000, 900 TO build some
twenty locks and dams TO make the
Colorado River "~navigable" This also
is an Austin enterprise. and although
everybody with a thimbleful OF brains
knows that no amount OF money would
make the stream ~navigable. enough OF
the flood waters might be imprisoned TO
provide the FISH with water for drinking
purposes. 1t Is Interesting to watch
Texas get II while the getting Is good.
Hereafter when a howl goes up from
Brownsville or some other point on the
border for protection" Just figure out
what the troops sent there would spend,

We car conceive OF no objection to
holding the next Democratic national
convention in the delightful city of
Dallas, a town of numerous charms
and novel delights. II 1t Is not to be
held in New York, the logical site of
its assembly. Therefore. in cheerfully
accedirg to Mayor LINDsLEY's request
for our friendly advice a TO the best
manner of obtaining the presence in
the community under his Jurisdiction
of this assembly of notables. we coun-
sci him not to allow his enthusiasm over
the natural advantages OF Dallas to
obscure for an instant recognition of
the almighty power of the guaranty
fund. A fat certified check is more
potent with the national committee
than the most reassuring record of
pleasant weather conditions, adequate
hotel accommodations and satisfactory
transportation facilities.

MISS RETTOP ON THE JOB.
The Editorial lmproyer Finds Fault
Again.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir; 1t
Is "A well known fact that every new
thing under the sun has been held up
to ridicule from time immGmorial. We
are not surprised therefore at the let
ter from the Sacramento Bee, with its
subtle sarcasm, and the one from Mr.,
penkawr, with It's open jcers at the aims
and ideals of our society.
1t is absurd to fancy that any one
can learn to improve editorials IN the
course OF twelve short lessons he
mentions. That Is something which can
not be taught. theoretically speaking.
but is acquired only by long years OF
practice.
II was not our purpose, however, to
make any comments about our society
for publication I'm this letter. We
wished to call THE SUNS attention to
the epis,le printed "A few days aso on
the editorial page called what the
Hades" That was not the exact term
used, but We do not care to he more
explicit. It certainly could not have
occurred to the editor at the time what
a harmful effect such an article would
have upon the mind Of a little child
reading II. We hope II was Il mistake,
Whatever the reason was for It's hap
pening to get In THE SUN, we trust II
shall not be repeated.
We also think It would he better
to make it clear that We do not intend
to discuss journalistic problems with
editors who are continually quarrelling
among themselves and calling each
other unseemly cpithets. Not long ago
we noticed a New York paper referred
TO some one on n Boston newspaper as n
%"bounCing klcptumaniac In "A black
homba zine suit" or something OF that
order, or coursc II might have been
said in a %Jesting way, hut In any event

expressed in Count o B~ERNsToRrr's
