r SPEAK WITHOUT FEAR OR
FAVOR.
- Since Brownsville is to have a
bearing before the Senate Coinmit-
tee that is investigating the Browns
ville outrage it is to be hoped the
town may be set right before tne
Tiiation. As it is not likely that
.the Ku-Klux will pass by the
homes of any of the Brownsville
"witnesses it is to be expected that
the plain truth regarding the out
rage-may be made known. And it
is to be hoped that those witnesses
who go to Washington from this
Outraged and insulted community
may stand up and tell the whole
ruth without fear or favor and
-likewise without malice speaking
"with all their might in behalf of
therr home and people.
Efforts will be made doubtless to
disprove and invalidate their testi
-Tnony but it is sincerely to be
' hoped that nothing may serve to
--confuse their tongues. . -
DID NOT WARN THEM.
It may be constitutional in a
technical sense for a law to go into
effect the instant the governor af
fixes his signature to the bill but
it is certainly unjusf to the citizen
who ias had no opportunity what
ver to know its contents. A good
illustration of this injustice can.be
found in the recent anti-gambling
'law of Texas that went into effect
"'upon its passage which. makes cer-
tain acts a felony and not one per-
son in ten thousand in the state
had ever had a chance to read the
law and it may be sometime yet
before the law is made public by
the state. Laredo Times.
Does the Times speak in behalf
-of the gambling element? If so it
should be remembered that these
"were already law-breakers liable
rto prosecution "and heavy fines
-against which they seem to have
' needed no warning.
So far it appears
-witnesses summoned
all of .the
in the casei
against Captain Macklin are to tes
tify in his behalf while ' none are
" reported as being summoned by tne
.prosecution. This will simplify
matters considerably and there
should be no difficulty whatever
in whitewashing this culprit. The
' trial' began today and the Express
'"-predicts tuat it will 'consume pro
bably a week but there appears no
' reason for prolonging the process
-and increasing the expense so
;v needlessly. It is a mere matter of
"form after all.
INVITATIONS ;T0 FUNERALS.
The funeral invitation is "becom-
ing quite popular: in Pittsburg.
Sounds strange but nevertheless it
is a fact. The invitations are print
ed on heavy paper such as is used
for wedding invitations with a
oroaa Diaeic- border. There are
many printers in town catering to
the fashionables who print the fu
neral invitations while you wait. An
invitation to attend the funeral of a
woman who was prominently iden-
tihed with church affairs the other'
day read something after the fo.1-
lowing order: "You are respectfully
invited to attend the funeral of
Urs. Blank who died Monday morn-
ing. Services will be .held at her
home Wednesday at 8:30 o'clock.
Jriterment at Glendale cemetery
Thursday at 10 a. m. Please do
not send flowers. Yours respectful
