'Dead Towns’ Coming to Life
An interesting parallel is drawn by a Near York
Writer between the Southern citic of today and the
"dead towns" of 25 or 20 years »g<>. Throughout tae
South from Brownsville to Richmond Va. he has di?- j
covered that the old somnolence winch in former yearn
characterised the average Southern town or city n:i i
been replaced by a progressive spirit which ha* vir u-
ally regenerated Southern industry and Southern
progress.
The "dead town" has been relegated to oblivion.
There are still a few scattered village which bear ti.c
marks of a by-gone age but the average Southern town
or city is far more progressive has better facilities
schools churches afreets and buildings and is a Jar
better place in which to live than the moss-grown
towns and cities of New England which a half century
ngo were regarded as “hives of industry."
A quarter of a century ago the ^outh was just be-
ginning to awake from the lethargy resulting from the
Civil war and the days of reconstruction. Today it is
more wide awake than any section of the United Mattes
Its resources almost unlimited are being developed
upon a plane never conceived of 25 years ago. and .t#
people its cities and towns are reflecting 'the new-
activity and new prosperity.
There are still millions of people who mentally pic
ture the Mexican border country as it was in the day
of General Zachray Taylor or the Southern Mississippi
valley as portrayed by Mark Twain in ante helium
days. They do not realize that throughout the entire
section below the Mason and Pixon line the last quarter
of a century has been marked by progress and devel-
opment such as the North and Ka-t have never expe-
rienced.
The "dead towns" of the South have been buried
and forgotten. The South today is riding upon a .vavc
of progress and prosperity. With ever-increasing force
the tide of industry and immigration is moving South-
ward and the next quarter of a century will w tnm
a transition even more startling than that of recent
year?.
Eliminating the 'Rough Stuff’
The day of "rough stuff" in party convention
closed with the advent of woman suffr a» wa r
idenced in the democratic state convention at J«*au '
mont Tuesday when the Palo Pinta county delegation. I
headed by P. C. Sanders wa.' unseated and a contesting
delegation recognized.
The Sanders delegation had won the endorsement
of the credential committee and everything v a o
c ceding smoothly until the lender arose to make a
speech in which he turned loose n barrage of what
convention termed "rough .stuff." Hi comments o.i
modern apparel of the "female of the -pccies" threw
the convention into an uproar which ended only aft*’:-
Sanders and his delegation had been unseated and th-
leader conducted from the convention hall.
There is much truth in the old contention that u
women persist in participating in politics they may ex-
pected to be shocked occasionally but politics do nor
license vulgarity such as the Palo Pinta county leader
'v indulged in. His remarks were unnecessary and u i-
k called for and Southern chivalry demand that he b-*
given the punishment deserved.
There was a time in the history of politics when
such remarks on the floor of a convention would h v
evoke loud guffaws but that time has pa--cd. Vui
garity is no more excusable in a political convention
than in any other public gathering and the man m
woman who seeks to influence a convention can bo
bolster his or her cauvt. by observing the rule? of .Ic
corum. In a gathering of ward heelei* or low class
politicians the remarks of the Palo Pinta lender would
have aroused no resentment but the Beaumont conven-
tion could not permit such vulgarity pa s unnoticed.
Aid Adjustments With Mexico
Mexico City dispatches announce that the tooj
American-Mexican claim* commit - ions- -the >p-cial and
t^e general cwbbii»hoi -are to hr merged into h sin-
gle body having a neutral member appointed by I he
Hague permanent court of arbitration thereby elimi
rating the expense so far borne by both government.-
of maintaining two comnn Mens one of whien—tn.
•pecial—has been of little u e.
Credit is given Ambassador Morrow for si curing
the consent of the Mexican government to the unitir-
of the commissions which were formed in I'll’.! when
diplomatic relations were resumed between Ihe gov-
ernments. The merger of the cominis ions i- looked
upon by close observers of relations between the Unit-
ed States and Mexico as a second *tep the f i r -1 having
been the settlement of the oil controversy -toward 1
ironing out the differences on nil pending qui tioi .-
between the two nations.
The recent announcement from Washington that!
both governments had extended authority t<> allow the
Hague tribunal to select a neutral member tor the |
commissions explained that ho would probably let in
the dual capacity of neutral jurist on both commis-
sions. hut only recently h»* it become known that *.h«
two bodies would he merged greatly facilitating their
proper functioning and the easier settlement of pend
ing cases.
(Beaumont Enterprise!.
Charles Evans Hughes has the judicial type of mind
nnd has been an eminent federal judge himself. *n it
is to be expected that he should be distressed by the
desire of congress to limit the authority of fcder l
judges.
In theory the derisions of a judge are governed \-
the law hia conscience and hts find. The ideal judg
has great authority hut does not abuse »t. He •
wise impartial and humane. He never makes up-
takes. But in practice it is impossible to reach judi-
cial perfection.
Judges vary as men vary end while the f-dcrtil
judiciary of this country is on the whole an honor to
it and composed of men whoa* ability and integrity arc
beyond question it is charged that some federal judge
do abuse their power and become autocratic dicta-
torial and overbearing. The integrity and abiliiy oT
such judges are seldom questioned but the meihod ■
by which they conduct their courts and interpret laws
arouse criticism.
The most out.-poken critics of the federal judiciary
are leaders of organized labor who assert that rulings
of federal judges in labor disputes are frequently un-
fair and there is much objection to the use of federal
injunctions.
But if the authority of federal judges is further ie-
stricted. how can w« expect a better administration of
justice in the country? How can we expect our cour.s
to function as they should if judges are not permitted
to aid juries with expert advice? If we' put addi-
tional restraints on the federal judiciary we shi'l
cripple the most efficient judicial system we now
possess.
Thu* the argument runs. It is a difficult pr.-blev:
to decided whether judge should have more power or
les power than they now exercise whether all th •
more important judicial positions should he fiilud by
appointment for life or by periodic elections and a
dozen other questions pertaining to the operation of
the nation’s legal and judicial machinery. But the in-
terr.-t taken in this subject by lawyers judges and
laymen promise* to eff*.ct improvements where the*
are most needed.

TO KEEP MEN HONEST
A surety company is always In*
! dined to ask more questions of an
employer than of an employ* to be
l onded. Here are a few of the most
i important questions they put to the
employer:
What salary will the applicant re-
ceive?
How much cash if any. will be
have in his custody at any one
time?
If required to maka deposits at
the bank how often?
Will he be authoriied to sign
checks?
To whom and how frequently will
he account for his handling of funds
stock or securities?
What means will you use to ascer-
tain whether his accounts are cor-
rect?
How frequently will they he ex-
amined?
What will he the title of the ap-
plicant's position?
The whole plan you see is to
learn if the man is goihg to receiva
a -salary proportionate to his respon-
t nihility and if there are sufficient
checks on him to discourage him
from being diaha«*»4 m If
were otherwise di»pos$d to be.
The last question 4 »i**t
seems needless. Whae doe* itiirntj
ter. you ask. whst a nan « title il
so long as he is performing a cer*
tain kind of work? But here is whsflH
sometimes happen*: A concern
seek to satisfy an underpaid
ploye largely by giving him a ptrl
tentious title rather than by givingW
him more money.
* ’ ‘
1 knew a man once who was work- 1
ing as a bookkeeper for $20 a week. ■
On# day his company conferred up«n 1
him the title of auditor and raised
his pay to $U a week. His duties
remained precisely the same. He
went home and told him wife that
he had become general auditor of
his company. The thing sounded »o
important that she scarcely waited
to do up her breakfast dishes the
next morning before setting out for
the arts to buy a new set of furs.
It seemed as if they both from then
on. were intent upon raising their
scale of living to correspond with
the dignity of his new title. Nat- I
urallv. they had much more finan-
cial difficulty than ever before.

NEW YORK May 21 -The grand
dames and matrons whose testi-
monials in behalf of beds cold
creams and cigarets appear in maga-
zines and newspapers illustrated with
approved portraits are paid money
for use of their names. The price
for a bed or cold cream testimonial is
around $4000 and a “blindfolded
' test” ng.iret okeh brings $1000.
Advertising concerns obtain such
name* by employing women of social
position who are in reduced cirrum-
vtanees to solicit testimonials from
j friends. Sometimes a charitable or-
ganisation with wealthy patrons begs
' the ads and receives all the money.
