Dispatches printed yesterday in the
Statesman told of the decision of the
North German Lloyd Steamship com-
pany to offer a special reduced rate for
immigrants to the port of Galveston.
The reason for this action is that New
York has become frightened by the
enormous number of immigrants re-
ceived at that port. Were these new-
comers all of the desirable or halfway
desirable class, New York would not
quiver an eyelid; but they are not.
The ratio of desirable to undesirable
immigrants at New York has been fall-
ing steadily, and since the war in the
far east put the iron hand upon the
Russian peasantry, the refugees form
an enormous quota of men and women
this country does not need or want.
New York has in effect put up the
bars to the steamship companies that
have been bringing over assisted im-
migrants by the hundreds and thou-
sands. The steamship companies are

The senate had quite a breezy time
yesterday over the subject of gam-
bling. The senate bill seeking to pro-
hibit the practice entirely by applying
a very drastic penitentiary sentence,
along with a fine, occasioned consider-
able talk from the various members,
during which Senator McKamy of Dal-
las said that while the bill was dras-
tic that he felt that it would effectu-
ally stop,gambling if it became a law,
and he hoped that the senate would
pass it. Senator Looney was of a like
opinion, but the senate was not dis-
posed to apply the penitentiary sen-
tence on the ground that it was too
extreme, and accordingly knocked out
that provision.

"You may defeat the bill and prevent
Its passage, but you can not kill the

Following Mr. Harris, Mr. Colbs of

full of Impassioned eloquence assailed
the proposition as being contrary and
subversive of the principles of indi-
vidual liberty and an interdiction of
the freedom of the citizen in the pur-

It is no doubt true that the tide of

The 35 per diem life of the house was
just half spent yesterday. It con-
vened January 10, and yesterday be-
ing February 10, the first half of the
sixty-day session was over.
A comparison of the work accom-
plished by the house of the Twenty-
eighth and Twenty-ninth legislatures
for the same time would doubtless
be read with interest.
On the thirtieth day of the Twenty-
eighth legislature, 389 bills had been
introduced; in the Twenty-eighth, 439.
Joint resolutions, Twenty-eighth, 19;
Twenty-ninth, 15. Local and senate
bills finally passed, Twenty-eighth,
15; Twenty-ninth, 15. Committee re-
ports and enrolled bills. Twenty-eighth,
297; Twenty-ninth, 285; house gen-
eral bills finally disposed of, Twenty-
eighth, 15; Twenty-ninth, 10. Senate
general bills finally passed, Twenty-
eighth. 9; Twenty-ninth, 7. Senate
bills passed to a third reading, Twen-
ty-eighth, 1; Twenty-ninth, 7.
It will be noticed that fifty more
bills have been introduced in the
Twenty-ninth than in the Twenty-
eighth, four less joint resolutions, the
number of local and senate bills dis-
posed of being the same. Of commit-
tee reports and enrolled bills the
Twenty-eighth exceeded the Twenty-
ninth by twelve, while the Twenty-
ninth exceeded the Twenty-eighth Ip
general bills finally disposed of by
thirteen.
Thua It will be seen that in the
amount of work done, mileage used,
per diem drawn, and the hot air blown
off, the house of the Twenty-eighth
and Twenty-ninth legislatures have
run a neck and neck race, came'under
the ropes with distended nostrils,
mouths wide open and perspiration
pouring from every pore, with' honors

In framing laws to protect both emn-
ployes and the general public.
“The increasing number of accident*
on rllrpads bus prompted the intro-
duction of three bills to make trave
safer. One is known as the switch
light bill, which requires railroads to
maintain signal lights on all main lina
switches from sunset to sunrise. Sev-
eral roads in the state already providi
such signals, but many others do not
If a signal light is necessary at a sta-
tion where trains always pass under
control, how much more necessary they
are at remote points where trains pass
at full speed.
“This bill also requires the roads w
place ’derails’ on all main line sidings
on which cars are left standing. Many
disastrous wrecks have been caused
by cars rolling or being blown out into
the main line in the way of passing
trains.
"Another labor bill requires all rail-
road telegraphers who handle train or-
ders to establish their fitness and com-
petency before being entrusted with
their responsible duties. Railroads will
not employ an ehgineer or conductor
until he has passed a severe examina-
tion, but telegraphers are . employed
without such examination. The many
wrecks caused by incompetent or neg-
ligent telegraphers furnishes the
strongest argument for this bill.
"Another 'safety’ bill prohibits rail-
roads from operating trains without a
full crew of trainmen. Under the pres-
ent law, if a railroad furnishes Imper-
fect or defective machinery or equip-
ment and the employe uses it and is
Injured, he is held to have assumed
the risk, and can not recover damages.
It being the duty of the employer to
furnish safe appliances, the employes
do not think they should assume the
risk occasioned by a neglect of this
duty.
"This question is Involved in what
is known as the assumed risk bill now
pending in the senate.
"Labor is also asking for a law which
will require all children to be educated.
They believe that the future welfare .
of the state and society depend upon
the education of the masss, hence their
advocacy of this law.
“It is very probable that the labor
unions will join with the farmers’
union in asking for a department of
agriculture and labor.
"Labor is also very much Interested
in the bill prohibiting the assignment
of wages. For many years they have
suffered from the oppression of ‘10 per
cent sharks’ and earnestly hope this
legislature will do something to put
these fellows out of business.”

Best for rheumatrsm Elmer &
Amend’s Preserption No. 2851. Cele-
brated on its merits for many effectual
cures. E. F. Schmidt. Houston, Texas.
Iron-bound will in matters not directly
in our lines of businesa or thought.
Presently somebody comes along and
gives us a shove, and we grunt and
move, the grunt being half earnest and
our desire to be moved entirely sin-
cere. i .
This human peculiarity is responsi-
ble for most of the bad roads in Texas
and other sections of the United States.
We have not had the necessary push
from without. We knew wo needed
better roads and we were theoretically
in favor of them. We knew all the
time that It coat more to haul loads on
bad roads and that when the roads
were very bad we could not expect the
farmers to bring in butter and garden
truck. We used language when we
could not get butter and greens, but
we did not get up and push ourselves
to action that would Insure the sup-
plying of our most every-day needs.
Now comes the Katy railroad and
gives us a push. It gets up a special
good roads train and traverses Texas.
We meet the train with enthusiasm and
make ready to get at that road prob-
lem right away. We will do it, too.
The necessary push is what we want-
ed as well as what we needed.
But where does the Katy road come
in? It is credibly reported that the
railroad company is spending 150,000
on this missionary work. Does it get
the money back? Well, considering
the fact that railroads are not run by
greenhorns or for the love of the thing.
It may be assumed that the money is
coming back, and a new lot of money
with it. It is hardly necessary to
point out that the road sees dollars
behind dimes in making Texas so at-
tractive that the population shall grow
twice as fast as ever before, and the
trunk lines get the business. No need
to amplify that point.
What comes closer to us than con-
sideration of whether, or how, the
Katy will get its money back. is the
problem of whether we have been
shoved hard enough to keep on shov-
ing on our own account. If we have
not, we should go out and shove one
another until the requisite Impetus is
had. The Katy is helping the good
roads project get a start. It is up to
us to follow the lead and put our
knowledge of the benefits of good roads
to practical use. The good roads to be
made immediately, on the spur of the
convention, are merely a beginning. If
other states can keep on with such
