SEVEN DAYS TO JULY 1
it is now only seven days to July 1
when the House of Representatives is
scheduled to vote on the Hobson amend-
ment for nation-wide prohibition.
Our "Present'’ congressman James L. j
Slayden is still in the Fourteenth dis-
trict seeking to convince the people that
it is more necessary that he be returned
to Congress than it is that he pay atten-
tion to the interests of those whose votes
he is trying to obtain.
The fact that he is neglecting the high-
est interests of the district at the very
time {hat he is seeking to induce the
voters of the district to entrust those in-
terests to him for another two years is j
the strongest possible proof of the fact!
that he should not be returned to Con-1
gress.
There are no two things more impor-'
tant to people of the Fourteenth district
and of the Southwest than Fort Sam
Houston and the defeat of any prohibi-
tion amendment.
By the statement of Mr. Slayden’s pri-
vate secretary it has been absolutely
proved that he resigned from the mili-
tary committee on which the interests ofi
the district imperatively demanded he
should remain in order to give a bit of
fat to the secretary.
That shows how closely Mr. Slayden
has looked after the military interests of
the district.
A vote on nation-wide prohibition is
pending and Mr. Slayden is away from
Washington when he should be on the
ground working against it.
That shows how closely Mr. Slayden
looks after the anti-prohibition interests
of the district.
It is the duty of the representative of
this congressional district to be on the
ground when the vote on the Hobson
amendment is taken.
Will Mr. Slayden do his duty?
Watch him.
SOMEWHAT UNJUST
For the last two years the railroad man-
agers of the country have been shrieking
for justice. The general opinion of the
public is that the railroads are getting
plenty of juctice. but that they find the
taste disagreeable. It is largely a mat-
ter of opinion.
The Light has not generally been in-
clined to favor the plea of the railroads.
It has not believed they came into court
with clean hands. It does not believe so
now. However it has not the slightest
desire that they should be treated un-
justly. It merely desires that they should
treat the public with fairness. Unfortu-
nately there are many railroad men who
believe they have a right to be unjust to
the public and that to deprive the rail-
road man of his divine right to be un-
just is to be unjust to the railroad man.
This also is largely a matter of opinion. I
There is one matter however in which!
from all appearances the railroads arej
not getting exactly a fair deal. This is in I
connection with the bill now pending be-1
fore Congress to compel the government to|
pay the railroads’ space rates on all mail |
handled. Chairman Moon of the House
committee on postoffices declared this will
reduce the annual amount paid to the
railroads by about $3000000. I he rail-
roads declare it will reduce their receipts
bv more than $10000000. 1 he bill also
provides for free transportation for all
postoffice officials and gives the postmas-
ter. general the right to handle the par-
cel post separately and at lower than
mail rates. The bill will it is believed
be reported back to the House immedi-
ately with a recommendation that it be
passed. The railroads are to have no
hearing whatever.
This docs not seem entirely fair If
am step is contemplated that will depriyp
the railroads of so large a sum as even
$3000000. they should be given an op-
portunity to tell their side of the story.
There is no such vital need of haste that
the chance of a great injustice to the
railroads should be taken.
The proposed action of the postoffice
committee seems the more unfair when
it is remembered that a committee of
which Senator Bourne is chairman has
been for several months investigating
conditions relative to prices for the trans-
portation <>f mail. This committee which
has taken much evidence will report in-
side of thirty days and it will surely do
no harm if the House defers action oh
the Moon bill until the Bourne committee
has reported.
Such a line of procedure on the part
of the House would be no more than fair
and would work no injustice to the pub-
lic —at least none that can be discerned
at this distance.
IMPROPER MEDIATION.
The reports from the mediation congress
at Niagara Falls and from Mexico are of
so vague a character that it is almost im-
possible for anybody in the United States
to have an intelligent conception of what
is reallv going on. It seems at times as
though the mediators themselves are as
greatly in the dark as other people.
The two facts that seem to stand out
distinctly are that there has been some
sort of a row between \ ilia and Car-
ranza the nature and scope of which have
not been clearlv defined; and that the me-
diators are extremely anxious that Car-
ranza grant an armistice to Huerta while
the mediation is in progress. The medi-
ators are so desirous that this should be
done that they arc apparently anxious
that Villa should supplant Carranza they
believing that it might be possible to ob-
tain from Villa what it has been impos-
sible to obtain from Carranza.
The Light has already pointed out tliat
it would be an act of extreme foolishness
on the part of the Constitutionalists to:
grant an armistice to Huerta just at the
time when their fight is. to all appear-1
ances won. Now is the time they should )
press their advantages. It is no time tO|
throw them away. The Constitutionalists;
have evidently understood this from thej
beginning for they have steadily refused
to listen to any talk on the subject of
granting a truce to Huerta. Even had
they not possessed the discernment to
understand what a serious political blun-
der. on their part an armistice would be
the fact that John Lind when the sub-
ject of an armistice was first broached
advised Carranza not to agree to such a
proposition would make them see it. Nat-
urally the Constitutionalists believed
then and believe now that the govern-
ment of the United States had knowledge
of the message'sent by John Lind and;
that the United States did not desire thej
Constitutionalists to agree to an armistice..
That is one of the reasons why the Con-i
stitutionalists have always refused to
agree to a suspension of hostilities.
If the mediators are seeking to take
part in the quarrel between Carranza andj
Villa with the idea that they will be able!
to secure conditions from \ ilia they have!
not been able to secure from Carranza j
thev are going outside of the proper;
sphere of their duties. It was generally j
supposed that they were to mediate upon
the conditions presented to them. It was 1
not supposed they were to attempt to;
adjust conditions in such a manner that
they could make their mediation a suc-
cess. In other words they were supposed
to keep their hands out of the political
conditions to make mediation conform
to conditions not to make conditions fit
• mediation. They would be guilty of a
; gross impropriety if they went over the
■ head of Carranza in the effort to make
; terms with Villa. This would be equiva-
• lent to allowing the members of a jury
■ to prosecute a case at law.

WHAT JUSTICE HERE?
Herbert T. Andrews was arrested in
Bostdn on a charge of passing worthless
checks. He protested his innocense but
the evidence was unanswerable. His
identification was compelte. There was
no flaw in the police chain. It did not
take long for a court to convict and
sentence him. He went to the house of
correction still protesting that he was
not guilty.
For several months Andrews remained
a prisoner. His family was overwhelmed
! with grief at the disgrace. More than
j that they were reduced in circumstances
! for he was the breadwinner. They had a
I pretty hard time to make both ends meet
j The other day the may who actually
I passed the bad checks tortured by con-
science at the thought that an innocent
man was suffering for his crime con-
fessed. He made it clear to police and
court that he was the guilty one. There-
upon the doors of the house of correction
। were thrown open and Herbert T. An-
drews walked forth a free man without
■ any stigma upon his reputation.
That is all. Thev turned him loose
i Perhaps somebody may have apologized
for being so positive as to bis guilt al-
- though that does not appear. But there
is no provision in Massachusetts law that
he shall be reimbursed for the physical
and mental suffering he has undergone
or for the smirch upon his reputation or
even at a wage-rate for the time he has
served in prison. There is no law that
says he may recover damages or that his
family shall be paid for the toil and suf-
fering they underwent. He is set free
and the records of the court show a mis-
take was made. Nothing else.
It is pointed out by a Boston newspaper
that if he can afford to hire a lawyer to
push his case before next year's Legis-
lature. it is possible the senators and
representatives may award him some-
thing in the way of damages although a
precedent along’ this line might be con-
sidered dangerous and he might have his j
labor for bis pains. Outside of legisla-
tive action he has no remedy.
All this is ’wrong. It would be wrong
in Texas and it is wrong in Massachu-
setts. Andrews has suffered and should
be paid for his suffering and as nobody
can change the mental anguish that he
and his family were forced to endure thej
onlv possible payment is money. If he j
had been wrongfully injured by an indi-1
vidual or a corporation the courts andj
juries would give him adequate damages.
Because he has been wrongfully injured
bv the state itself is no reason why he
shouldn't be paid.
Justice held her scales ill balanced when
Andrews was found guilty although
everybody concerned seems to have acted
in good faith. But in making no repara-
tion for his months in prison she is
doubly unjust. He ought not to be obliged
to petition a Legislature or anybody else
for reparation. The state should gladly ।
give it as a right.
A NEED OF THE ERIE
F. I). Underwood of the Eric is a rail-
road president of the old school. Some of
the civic bodies in one of the states the
road runs through have been asking for
the correction of some sanitary abuses
on the trains —dirty windows and such
matters. In replying to the Civic Asso-
ciation of Sharon. Penn. President Un*-
derwood used these words:
"I may be pardoned for making the
suggestion that if the civic bodies through-
out the country would bend their ener-
gies toward securing from the federal i
and state authorities fair treatment for
the railroads they would not only be j
doing a good stroke for the business in-
terests but also for themselves.
"The railroads are now the victims of
several dishonest practices at the hands |
of the government) and I have yet to hear j
from any commercial body putting forth)
concerted efforts to help the railroads as
against the government piracy.
“If the people of the. country are to
have what they want in the way of rail-
road facilities it is about time they took
the side of the railroads instead of that
of a grasping dishonest administration. )
Mr. Underwood is evidently a true
Bourbon —he neither forgets anything nor
learns anything. He is living in the past
—in those days when managers of capital
prated of “divine right" and resented any
imputation that the public had any rights
vested interests were bound to respect.
“Dishonest practices.’ “government pir-
acy” "a grasping dishonest administra-
j tion ” These be hard words but there is
an old saw with ample application to the
present instance which says that hard
i words butter no parsnips”
If the railroads have some grievances
—and perhaps thev have—the way to get
them abated is not the Underwood way.
I Without knowing much about the gentle-
man except that he is at the head of the
Erie Railroad it nevertheless is quite ap-
i parent that one of the things the Erie
needs is a new president.
Need More Time.
Representative William A. Jones of Virginia
has prepared a bill which the president is said
to approve providing for limited
ment of a territorial charade to the I hilippine
Islands with a view to their complete independ-
ence in the indefinite future.
The Mexican experience might well teach the
administration wisdom In regard to the 1 nil-
ipplnes. In 1899 there was under Aguinaldo
an organization of natives which probably could
have maintain* <1 an oligarchial sort of republic
as successfully as Porfirio Diaz maintained one
in Mexico. The United States was not content
to let the Philippines have that kind of inde-
pendence. H will be necessary now to wait un-
til the old generation has passed and a new
generation ‘-dm-ated in American schools has
grown up. before the Filipinos will be capable
of realizing the d. moeratic ideals which Ameri-
cans insist m be the basis of a free and
independent republic in those islands. Buffalo

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
The Light's Daily Story
A Mil TING.
By Maurice Level.
He stopped short at a turning of
the road. Something had run like!
a dagger through his heart—two ‘
steps from him a younfc woman was
paying her driver. He could see
her only indistinctly for it was
growing dark and sho wore a heavy/
veil but he recognized her by her
figure her gestures her way of ।
carrying her head by nothing and ।
everything by all the indefinable
which always remains behind after
a great love. He moved a step to-
wards her and they stood face to
face.
“You!”
“Yes I!”
They stood silent a moment be-।
cause she did not know’ whether to
give him her hand of not. lje bow-
ed his head—she smiled.
“I am very glad to see you
again.”
He answered In a voice that sur-
prised himself by its calmness.
“So am I.”
After a few commonplace remarks
it seemed to them as if they had
said everything they could think
of. A great charm separated them.
In a way they folt just as U
at this moment as when they had
met the first time. P.wsers-by
stared at them so she suggested:
“Suppose we walk a little.”
Gradually the feeling of embar-
rassment left them. At first thev
met here then they wondered fhatj
they had not met before. Thej
talked quite freely now he with the
slightest tinge of regret she cordial-
ly confidential. She asked about
the present while he always re-
turned to the past.
“I heard that you have been pto-
moted. It made me very happy and
if T had only dared I would have
written and congratulated you.”
“You ought to have done so —Do
you still remember our first dinner
together? How long ago that
seems.
“Vos. dreadfully long ago” sho
assented.
Seven years. Two years later al-
most on the very annlvermry you
loft mo. T hope at least you have
enjoyed wourself during these five
years.”
She might have lied or at least
have put a tone of disappointment
into her voice but she replied j
truthfully and without any cmbar-|
rassment:
“I have indeed.”
He bit his lips and bls short “oh”
expressed n world of jealousy. Sho
appeared so perfectly natural and;
unconcerned that he felt he must
not let her fool that he had suf-
fered and in a careless tone ho
added: “T hope your present lover
is a nice follow.”
How it was she grew silent and
smiled rnthor embarrassed.
He noticed it and went on.
“I suppose it is still the rich
banker. Are yon faithful to him?
How nice of you. Really? And
you have really never cared for any-
one since?”
His suffering became audible
through his bantering tone. He
' could not forget that ho had boon
jilted. She still remained silent and
I as bo realized that neither the mom-
| ory of the past nor the present
: meeting would wring the sympathe-
tic words that he was yearning for
from her he began to pity himself.
“You think that T have grown
very much older looking in all these
years of course?”
“Older—Why not at all. And
why should you? You are still n
young man not thirty-nine years
yet.”
“So you remember my ago.”
“Certainly.”
“And how old arc you now?”
Sho looked at him and smiled.
“Try to remember.”
He did not need to. Ho know her
age well enough. She was thirty-
seven last May.
“Thirty-seven.” he said and all
the bitterness he had felt towards
her disappeared. Thirty-seven years.
She was nearly forty years old and
to a woman that practically means
the end of everything while ho. as
she had said was a young man still.
What a dreadful retribution. He
found her changed aged not ex-
actly old but quite different from
the woman he had known and loved.
For a short time yet she would
still defend herself then the
wrinkles would come those ugly
little wrinkles which signify the
death of beauty. It was an im-
mense relief to him to imagine her
loss beautiful. Surely when she left
him he had shed many tears and
suffered much now fate was giving
him revenge. Had she stayed with
him he would have grown of
her two years perhaps three and
it would have been dreadful to live
with a companion to whom nothing
tied you but force of habit.
Not to appear cruel he ceased
talking about the past.
“Do you go to the theater often
now?” he asked.
“Yes very often.”
He remembered how’ all eyes
sought her out as soon as she had
taken her seat in their box at his
side and thought:
Tt must be dreadful for her to
notice that she attracts no attention
any longer.”
"Have you time? Do you care to
walk a little further with me?”
“Yes. I need not be home until
eight.”
She began to talk about a thou-
sand things of friends whom he did
not know of society affairs which
he had not attended.
Her voice seemed to come from
far away her laugh had still its old
silvery ring but it did not thrill him
as it used to. He even thought she
laughed too much and he said to
himself: “How she would bore me
now.” x
As she removed her glove he no-
ticed that she was still wearing his
ring in which he had had a date
engraved. He called her attention
to It and she said:
“I have always worn it and al-
ways shall. Havn’t you yours?”
“Oh. Lord no.”
Ho thought “she clings to her
memories while J have got past
that long ago.” And he admired
himself. Every \yord that fell from
her lips added to the distance be-
tween them and he could no longer
discover the faintest trace of sad-
ness in his heart nothing was there
but feelings of pride and joy at
being free. The few memories he
still retained wore very pleas/ant
and still he was surprised to catch
himself thinking of other things
while she was talking. Time and
again he thought “How she has
aged.”
He saw her again as ho first had
known her her dg childlike eyes
her pert little nose her white teeth
her whole splendid youthfulness.
Sho belonged to those who grow
old quickly and ho thought “Never
again will she be ns beautiful as
then. She was mine when her beau-
ty was at its height.”
He ceased analyzing her. Once
more conversation stopped. He did
nothing to make her stay and re-
membered an appointment he had
frogotten.
“I am dreadfully hungry” she
suddenly said. “I did not have any
tea this afternoon. Would you care
to eat a cake with me?”
“Certainly.”
They entered a cafe and while sho
was choosing the cakes for them
he asked himself:
“Did I then really love her so
much?”
Standing at the counter she had
raised her veil and he wished some-
body might see them together now—-
him quite unchanged except for a
few’ silver threads at the temples
and her so different.
Just then she turned around and
smiled at him.
His surprise was boundless. Even
in the strong electric light her face
looked wore beautiful than he had
ever seen her. Her eyes had the
same childlike expression her com-
plexion was wonderful and her
teeth as white and even as ever.
Her beauty had ripened and become
perfect.
As he noticed this he felt a dread-
ful anger arising within him and
the pain grew even more acute than
on the day she had left him.
She looked at him unable to un-

To The Editor:
I have often wandered that those
who are like myself and love to live
in gardens have never thought or
contriving a winter garden which
would consist of such trees and
plants as are never without their
mantle jf green. In our splendid cli-
mate it is a very easy matter to so
arrange such a spot within easy dis-
tance of the heart of the city and
plant it with evergreens and plants
suitable to our soil and climate.
Trees of deciduous nature have no
place in such a garden as their
beauty is at its best in summer for
which reason we are not so sensible
of those beauties that at this time
may be met with everywhere.
Thera is something unspeakably
cheerful in a spot of ground plant-
ed and covered with trees and plants
that smile amidst the rigor of win-
ter. and take our thoughts away
if in the melancholy contemplation
of a winter scene. As a retreat —and
incidentally a protection to the sev-
|cral varieties of birds peculiar to
this country it would be one of the
best investments and the birds could
be protected in such a garden dur-

Sleepy Time Tales
For the Little Folk
Once upon a time there was a
vacant field where there were no
houses or trees or anything and the
grasshoppers thought they owned
the whole of it. Nobody ever botner-
ed any of the grasshopper i'aniiliee
and they hopped about in the long
grass all the bright sunny days with
no worry pbout anything. They
built hundreds of nice little homes
down In the grass roots and were
very happy.
One day just as the sun was com-
ing up they heard an awful roar
and pretty soon with a great clat-
tering such as they had never heard
before a gigantic machine with
flashing bright things going round
and round camo rushing down the
field. Behind the machine was a
man pushing it along right on
top of their cozy homes.
As the bright blades went round
and round the grasshoppers saw
that the grass and flowers were all
cut off close to the ground and that
nothing was left but stubs of grass
and short stems of the flowers.
The grasshoppers were all In a
panic. They had never seen such a
machine before and all they could
do was to gather their children to
them and without time even to get
any of their clothes or watches or
jewelry from their homes to hop
hop hop as fast as they could in
front of that dreadful machine.
Wasn’t it too bad? The grasshop-
pers lost their homes and their pret-
ty flowered field just because a hor-
rid man with a wife and three
children wanted to use the field for
a playground and had a man with
a lawn mower (which looked like
a dreadful machine to the grass-
hoppers) come and cut the grass.
When the children got their
swings and teeterboard and croquet
set and all their playthings out
there I am sure the grasshoppers
if they could have seen how the
children enjoyed their field would
have forgiven the man for robbing
them of their homes to make a
playground for his children. Don't
you think so?

little rascals' appetite for eggs and

The southeast part of San Pedro
park would ee an ideal place for
a winter .or southern liotanical gar-
den and that without much outlay
of money as it already has a carpet
of living green and an adequate sup-
ply of water. Under the care of a
man who knows his business as a
horticulturist it would be one of
the most beautiful and attractive
places In the state in fact a veri-

not be much and a great many ef

contribute of their means by dona-
tions in plants as well as money
for such an undertaking. Such a gar-
den would be a source of great
pleasure to many of our citizens and
be much more attractive than it Is
