Years ago, when the laying out of a
golf course in Breckenridge Park was
proposed, THE LIGHT expressed the con-
viction that here was San Antonio S

resort city. When the course had been
established THE LIGHT appraised it as
San Antonio's greatest single asset from
the tourist standpoint. And naturally
THE LIGHT is proud of the pioneering
part it played in urging the establish

The story from Chicago, sent out over
the country by the most thoroughly dis

CHAPTER VII.
The Fourth at Santa Leandra.

The glorious Fourth came up across
the range-land as all Fourths should,
clear. bright, warm with sun and cool
with little wind that would soon die
and leave heat and dust to rule.
At Paradise small tragedy had
been enacted, for Redcloud for the
first time in his life had been left be-
hind when the Red Brood went away
to run. Alone in his paddock the old
racer ran this way and that along
the fence, his head high on his lifted
neck, his eager eyes straining into
the distance toward the north and
west where yesterday at rusk those
other favored ones had been led away.
He was to 60 indeed, though in an
other capacity, for Val lannon's heart
was sore for him and she groomed him
with her own, hands, combed his flow
ing name and tail, and put upon him
the splendid silver-mounted bride that
was the Redstar's own.
Dirk came out with COW pony
ready to ride the twenty miles to
Santa Leandra With her, and Val must
run into the house to get the neat flat
package that held her finery and was

Types of Insanity
By III. Addington Bruce.

OF all the insanities none present a
more pathetic picture than so-called de-
mental paralytica and senie dementia.
The former, popularity known as paresis
or softening of the brain, is of special
significance from a social viewpoint,
by reason of its prevalence, its cause,
and the peculiar behavior of many par
ties i'll the early stages of their dis
ease.
So common. indeed, is demcntial

From a Seat in the Gallery
By HERBERT COREY.

Washington. ID. c., Jan. 2O.-There
seems TO be just one way in which to
avoid another amendment TO the Con.
StitutiOn of the United States.
That is by a decision of the United
| States Supreme court.
Of course, it is quite possible for the
| United States TO rock along without
either an amendment or a decision. But
| in that case the outlook is deep
mauve, not to say black.
Some people hold that ruin and re-
pudiation lies that way.
This is not n scare story. Or If it
is. then il is based on what President
Harding has said and on what Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon has said.
Mr.. Harding has stated that an amend.
ment is necessary. Mr.. Mellon has con-
fined himself to pointing out the ex-
IRENE danger which lies in the flood Of
taN-free bonds which is sweeping over
the country.
One thing the taxpayer and voter
seems not to have understood is that
the over-borrOwing on tax-frce bonds
has resulted in definite increase in
all forms of taxation. national, state.
county, municipal, and district. 1t is
safe TO say that taxation has more than
doubled in the past eight years. In
most of the political subdivisions It has
increased more than that 1t is abso-
lutely certain that it will continue TO
increase.
Twice before in the history of the
country we overbOrrOwed ourselves To-
Cally. The result was that in 1890
1910 AMI in 1S70-1SS0 we had two
rras of default and reputation. Buyers
OF tax-frec bonds seem not to remember
that many of the bonds repudiated in
those days are still unpaid. They never
will be paid now.
The situation is very simple one.
