Controversy Is Discussed Tn House But No Action
 Proposed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The controversy between the Senate and President Coolidge over the appointment of q successor to Fed eral Judge T. NJ. Reed. First Di- vision of Alaska. was discussed yesterday in the House but no action was proposed.
 Representative Florello H. La Guardia. Republican of New York. during the consideration of the Department of Justice ap- propriation bill. said the funds had been made to include those for Judge Reed. However he was not mentioned by name, and the New Yorker inquired how long he was to continue in office, in view of the fact the Senate had refused to confirm him for an- other term and that the Presi- dent had failed to recommend a successor.
 Representative Carl R. Chind- bom. Republican of Illinois, said Judge Reed would continue in office until his successor had been appointed and he and La Guardia agreed that without specific legislative action it would be impossible to prevent in- clusion of the funds for Judge Reeds salary.

GOLDsTEIN'S EMPORIUM
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-06-04
The World and All


Alexander Hamilton left a profound impress upon
the American government. He did not have his way
altogether, but he kept jefferson and other advocates
Of popular rule from going as far as they wanted to
20 in democratizing the government.
Hamilton hadn't much respect for "the people In
the Federal Convention on June is, 1887, he said:
"All communities divide themselves into the few
and the many. The first are the rich and w~ell-born,
the other the mass Of the people. The voice Of the
people has been said TO be the voice Of God: and, how
ever generally this maxim has been quoted and be-
lieved, il is not true to fact.
"The people are turbulent and changing; they sell
dom judge or determine right. Give. therefore. to the
first class a distinct, permanent share in the govern
ment. They will check the unsteadiness Of the sec
ond, and, as they cannot receive any advantage BY a
change. they therefore will ever maintain good govern
menG."
This from one Of the founding fathers is a bit
shocking 70 a believer in democracy. But Hamilton
wasn't a believer in democracy, and he was honest and
straightforward in saying so. He believed the we'll
born could rule better than Others. especially if they
were rich. He was so far from being weIlborn and
rich himself that his father. a bankrupt. was not mar
Tied to his mother. But he was aristocratic By nature.
and he had little faith in common folk.
James Truslow Adams has put together into 4 booS
an Illuminating collection OF HamiltOn's writings and
speeches. The book il called "Hamiltonian Principles, 4
and It ought 70 be read BY those who are interested il
the American government and how it came TO be what
il is.
Said Hamilton: ut is admitted that you cannot
have a good executive upon q democratic plan. See
the excellency Of the British executive. He Is placed
above temptation. lie can have no interests distinct,
from the public welfare. Nothing short OF such an ex-
ecUtive can he efficient"
II Hamiltc1 had prevailed, We would have had i
monarchy long before this. If jefferson had prevailed.
we would have had popular government carried to =
greater extent than most Americans are accustomed 70
think about. Compromise gave US the excellent form
Of government we now enjoy.

HOW YOUR DeG's MIND WORKS

A man may learn much about

the very purpose OF learning mere

come into the world not knowing

ward a baby, and consequently the
dog is soon the more obedient. There
are fewer spoiled doEs than spoiled
children. The two learn in about the
same way-each adding TO inherited
instincts what he picks up from day
to day BY actual experience.
We recognize that a dog begins to
form habits almost from the day Of
its birth. but we make the mistake

But il is not only the motor bus and private pas

During the three months famed, the freight revenue Of

same months last year; more was moved. pretty GER
tainly- What the figures signify is that motor trucks
moved a larger percentage Of the whole this year than
last, with the result that aespite the increased aggre-
gate Of traffic due to the states growth, the railroads
had a smaller freight revenue for January, February
and March Of this year than for the same months Of
last year. There has been no material reduction in
rates meantime; so that the reduction in revenue de-
notes a reduction in traffic Of probably about the same
percentage.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE

A Uniform law requiring the public schools Of Texas
70 incorporate in the course Of study better instruc-
tion on the constitution Of the United States and on
the fundamental principles Of good citizenship was en-
dorsed BY the Texas Bar Association at its forty-sev-
enth annual convention in Dallas last week. The law.
as proposed by the committee, which will be submitted
at the next legislature BY a COMMITTEES appointed for
that purpose, is the product of five years of study by
leading attorneys Of the state.
In discussing the necessity for wider knowledge Of
toe constitution the fact was stressed that the proper
place TO incu.cate this knowledge in the minds Of the
rising generation is in the public schools. and the sug-
gestion was made that intensive study Of the consti-
tuition and its bearing upon citizenship be made in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades, and that every pu-
pill in Texas be required to take up this study. The
law would require that no pupil be permitted to grad
nate who has net passed a satisfactory examination in
such q course.
Efforts to secure the passage Of a law Of this char
acter have been underway several years, and have met
the endorsement Of educators in all parts Of the state
Proponents OF the measure take the view that good
citizenship should be taught when the child's mind is
in the formative state, and that . thorough knowledge
Of the constitution and its application is fundamental.
The course would include United States history, civic
government, patriotism and duties of a citizen, thereby
fitting the child to assume and discharge the duties
that will fall upon him or her in later life.
The proposal OF the Texas Bar Association is one
that will meet universal support throughout Texas. II
is the consensus OF those VINO nave made a STUDY Oh
this subject that to ignorance Of the constitution
and fundamental duties Of citizenship may be attribus-
ed the national lethargy in respect to governmental and
political affairs in which every citizen should take a
keen interest. Creation Of this interest will result in
better government and more general participation IN
government, an ideal which. when attained, will be a
vital factor in national growth.
The public schools are the place in which TO incul-
cate in the minds of future generations a clear knowl-
edge Of the fundamentals Of citizenship and a proper
conception Of the Individually duty to participate in
political and governmental affairs. Years will be re-
quired to eliminate the national ~lethargy as regards
these duties, but the maximum fruits of American
democracy can never be attained until this is achieved.
In many other states the movement to make the schools
the instrument through which the national conscien. e
may IL aroused is daily gaining impetus, and Texas
youth should be given the same opportunities in this
respect as those Of other states.

WILD LIFE IN X
New York Evening POST

New York Evening Post).
In these days Of lament over the vanishing wild life
Of America we note with pleasure that those who know
their hannts may find the ocelot, the egret and the
peccary living in ~untrammeled freedom. When Africa
has exhausted its herds Of game. the United States may
still boast Of birds ard animals which elsewhere have
been hunted from the face Of the earth.
The egret is, Of course, the lesser white heron,
whose name. frequently spelled aigrette, has been
transferred to its beautiful crest, but the ocelot and
the peccary are animals which have never been par
ticularly attractive to man. The former is described
as "a leopard-like feline quadruped.' the latter d "a
gregarious quadruped, allied to the swine" They were
both found living on an inaccessible plateau in Texas.
The discovery Of the egret, the ocelot and the
peccary was made by ~airplane. What other species of
birds or animals which we had believed to be extinct
may be living in secluded spots visible only from the
air? It was in this way that giant lizards-the dra-
CONS OF mythology-were recently discovered in the
South Sea Islands. Further search may reveal lost
worlds of prehistoric dinosaurs and extinct dodos.
