PETITIONS PROTEST NEGRO BATH
HOUSE.

Galveston. Texas, April 1.-Two
petitions. which have as their aim
either the refusal by the county COM
lnlsslon.rs of their permits fion for
erecting a Negro bathhouse outside
me seawell, or TO allow it only with
StaInsent guarantees and requirements,
were filed with the county COM
mlssloners court Yesterday at their
weekly meeting. The first of the ne
T sa was signed by ]. Reymershof-
Ter, Beno Sproue S. S. Templn, w. r.
A. Rogers, J. T. Alberts and 100 Others
and the second was headed by John
stephenson and thirteen others. The
petitions did not refer specially to any
bathhouse, but were couched in gem
eral terms.
The petition signed by the 100 citi-
zens opposes the granting of permits
sion to build structure, because
same would constitute a menace to
the seawall and boulevard, and prop
erty outside the seawall. and would
be destructive Of the prote ctive princi-
pie upon which the seawall was built"
The second petition prays that per-
mission to erect a bathhouse outside
the seawall be refused to anyone with
out sufficient guarantees that no
damage will result to the seawall and
properties lying north of 1t by reason
of such stru cture, or that the danger
be reduced to a minimum" 1t also
prays that the bathhouse proposed for
Negroes at Thirty seventh be Construc-
ted only of concrete reinforced piers,
und that a cash sum of $4,000 be re-
uuired of the bathhouse promoters
shat the structure shall cost as much
as $25,OOO and be used as a bath
nouse only.
f. C. Warner, assistant United States
engineer, appeared before the court
and stated that the erection OF bath
house as proposed would obstruct the
lew of instruments of communication
used by federal authorities. A COM
munication from V. p. Romano, In
which he stated property formerly
| owned by him alongside the seawall
| had been condemned for roadway pur'
poses, was read He requested II any
permits for buildings on this property
! were to be allowed, he wished com
missioners to first consider transfer
ring the property again to him.

morning when the papers were de-

been occasioned by the telling of
great good news of interest to all,
but was caused by the publication
Of cold, unsympathetic, sordid,

two Chicago automobile salesmen
and a movie comedians gin party,
held in a San Francisco hotel,
which resulted in the death Of one
of the young woman members.
These two stories alone occupied

err thereby getting in the punch"
We believe it is conceded by all
that the mind is not in a con-
structivemood when occupied with
tales such as these. On the con-
trary, many will tell you that in
the constant contemplation Of de-
pFavity and destruction, such as
the city papers seem determined
to purvey, the mind becomes so
intima tely associated with destruc-
tive ideas that they leave a last
ing mark upon it. Especially is
this true of the young and those
weak in mental development.
How great, then, is that respon-
sibility devolving upon the news
paper, to minimize the destructive
and maximize the constructive
thought of its readers; to lead the
way from the contemplation Of
immaterial details Of crime and
depravity' and to suggest the
study and development of the
good, the beautiful and the true.
For the benefit of the future
generation of journalists, which
will more or less have in keeping

The Sunday school convention which
was held last Sunday at the M. E.
church was real success. The speak
ers, Mr. D. E. Rybolt, Mr.. w. J.

worthy of commentator. The differ

represented and our delegates whom
we sent to the state convention at

report which was enjoyed by all.
Sixteen of our w. C. T. U. ladies
went to the Peoples hospital at Ak

membering the patients with a small
treat. 1t consisted of one-half bushel
apples, canned fruit, jellies,, bouquets,
potted plants, magazines, Sunday S.
papers, etc. We certainly were ten
dered a very courteous welcome. The
superintendent of nurses showed us
thru the hospital and nurses home
and there treated us to buffet lunch.
But don't think 10 are all the w. C.
T. U. members we have. Owing to
the busy time of the year there was
not conveyances for all, so some OF
our ladies spent the afternoon in do
ing kindnesses for some of the sick
