The Texas Music Merchants associa-
tion have just selected Galveston for
next year’s convention.
As a convention city Galveston con-
tinues to lead all Texas.
Conventions are useful in advertis-
ing Galveston.
People who come here to attend con-
ventions frequently desire to return
either for a pleasure trip or to reside.

Jack Pope is a son of John Pope by a
former marriage.
“I went to Tom Hansell’s place sev-
eral days before and killed his dog so
he wouldn’t make, any noise When we
went back,” Harvey is quoted as say-
ing.
County officers decline to make pub-
lic further details of the alleged con-
fessions and are keeping secret the
jail where Pope and his son and Har-
vey are held as a precaution against
mob violence.
John Pope is said to have charged
that an effort was being made, “to get
me out of the way to get my prop-
erty.”
Officers believe, however, that fear
that he would have to divide his prop-
erty if his wife sued for divorce and
a desire to realize on insurance policies
caused Pope to plan the crime.
The Hansells and Mrs. Pope and the
two children were shot to death in their
beds at the Hansell home where Mrs.
Pope had gone after separating from
her husband.

him to “leave nothing undone” in prosecuting the department’s com-

He was also the principal speaker of
the evening.
Urging support of the ticket because
it stood for a straightforward business
administration, Capt. Edwin Goudge,
candidate foi mayor, declared the com-
mission form of government in recent
years had been greatly abused and had
become an absolute dictatorship.
Declaring his party was fair to la-
bor and that charges had been made
by opponents that it represented spec-
ial interests, Capt. Goudge asked the
crowd," what it would do without in-
terests?”
“There are three essential facts
which cannot be separated,” said. Capt.
Goudge, “capital, brains and labor.
If they say I represent capital I do
not mind. When they say I represent
brains I am flattered. I can say, how-
ever, that I represent the best in-
terests of labor.”

is reported his skull is badly fractured
and he will very likely die.
Unaware of Capt. Jacobi’s presence in
the ill-fated car, the military police
returned to the scene of the wreck
after taking Lieut. Gardner to the
hospital. They then found Capt. Ja-
cobi dead. His neck was broken and
his skull fractured. The body was 50
feet from the curve and off the road-
way.

At the same time there were indica-

IN AN EXCELLENT decision the Il-
linois Supreme court declared that a
city cannot bring suit against a news-
paper or a citizen for criticizing the
city or its government. “Every ut-
terance or publication against the gov-
ernment must be considered absolutely
privileged” is the court’s decision, un-
less an effort is made to violate exist-
ing laws or overthrow by force or
other unlawful means the existing
government'. That’s common sense.
. What cities, states,* nations and
public servants need more than any-
thing else is criticism, end plenty of
it. That keeps them awake.

THE BOSTON UNIVERSITY school
of religious education, gathering sta-
tistics on convi rsions to religion, says
the chances are three to one that the
person who has not joined a church
at twenty-one years of age will never
join. In the Methodist church, the big-
gest in membership in the United
States, the majority that join are be-
tween ten and eleven years old, the
age used to be -between sixteen and
seventeen.
Statistics show that susceptibility
to religious conviction is being pushed
back toward the age of childhood.
It proves the soundness of the Ro-
man Catholic teaching, that first seven
years are most important in the life
of a child as regards religious teach-
ing.

St. Louis, May 4.—Chicago will get
the 1924 Republican national conven-
tion, according to Jacob L. Babler,
member of the Republican national
committee from Missouri, who an-
nounced yesterday that Fred W. Up-
ham, treasurer of the committee al-
ready had received pledges from 28
of the 52 members of the committee to
vote for holding the convention at
Chicago.
In addition to these votes already
pledged for Chicago, Mr. Babler said,
it is more than likely that other mem-
bers of the committee will cast their
vote for Chicago, when the matter of
placing the convention is brought be-
fore the committee. According to Mr.
Babler, letters from members of the
Republican national committee who
have pledged their votes for Chicago
were .shown him by Mr. Upham during
a recent visit in Chicago.
Kansas City, Mo., May 4.—(By the
Associated Press.)—The two banks of
Buckner, Mo., about 18 miles from here,
were raided by five bandits shortly
before noon today. They escaped in a
motor car with about $6,000 in cash and
$25,000 in registered liberty bond's.
The robbers were accomplished si-
multaneously, the party of five bandits
separating when it entered the town.
Two bandits raided the Bank of Buck-
ner and two raided the Farmers Bank
on opposite corners while the fifth re-
mained at the wheel of their motor car.
Both robberies were completed about
the same time, according to reports
received here and the bandits ran for
their car and drove rapidly away, head-
ing toward independence. A bus driver
and “a farmer reported that the bandit
car had ben seen and apparently was
attempting to reach this city by a round
about route.

New York, May 4.—The rum fleet
which apparently had run away yester-
day in the face of a three-sided attack
by government forces, has circled back
and is lying in extended formation off
the coast, Captain Berry of the coast
guard service announced today.
The yacht Istar and the British tan-
ker Warszawa are off Jones Inlet while
some schooners are scattered along in
open formation about twelve miles
apart.
Up in Chicago the other day, a man
was found, the father of four children,
who remained at home mothering the
children, doing the housework, the
cooking and sewing, while his wife
worked out to support the family.
This is carrying the old saw, “let the
women do the work,” too far.
It is also carrying the feminine in-
vasion of man's domain, and vice
versa.

Houston, May 4.—A check up today
showed that four men received injuries
and several thousand dollars damage
was done when two tubes in high pres-
sure still batteries at the Galena
refinery, a few miles below Houston on |
the. ship channel, exploded late last
feet, and Queen Victoria is no excep-
tion,
The latest in queenly dresses which
appealed to the feminine tastes of the
queen didn’t appeal to Father Cal-
asanz, a priest here.
And straightaway in a sermon the
good priest denounced the low cut
styles of the queen and the court ladies
in most direct and forcible Spanish.
He declared the present-day garb
Was indecent and immoral and a few
other things.
Of course the queen was indignant
transgressed by the new ruling. De-
partment officials have taken the po-
sition that the right of the United
States to regulate the conduct of ships
within its territorial waters cannot be
questioned, but they are aware that a
'different view is held in other quarters.
Stories published in Paris that Pre-
mier Poincare already had ordered a
protest lodged with the American gov-
ernment were without confirmation in
any quarter here. It is regarded as
likely in diplomatci circle that Italy,
and probably other powers will take
similar action.
FIRST, THE STRONG man’s club
ruled. That lasted a long time. The
hopeful Victor Berger of the Stone Age
predicted the downfall of the club very
soon.
Then the savage chief ruled, and
that lasted for centuries. Then the
king ruled, while the priest ruled him
through his superstition that lasted
a long time. Then came military feud-
alism, lasting centuries. And now we
have industrial feudalism, organized
dollars in place of organized soldiers.
That is the "capitalism” to which Ber-
ger refers. It also will last centuries.
Its downfall is a long way off.
Nobody ever changed a social sys-
tem suddenly. You have to change the
people first, and they change slowly.

With gardens and streets a blaze of
color, now that the oleanders are
bursting into gorgeous blooms, and
the balmy waters of the gulf invites
the bather, Galveston is coming into
its own.
Every season of the year has its
own peculiar delight in Galveston,
but, none of them, perhaps, are so se-
ductive as the period when spring
merges into summer.
Galvestonians do not appreciate the
delights of their beach and the beauty
of their city as do others to whom
such things are not so familiar.
Much of the beautification which
makes Galveston so alluring is due to
the hard work of the Women’s Health
Protective Association.
This organization for many years
has persistently encouraged the
planting of palms, oleanders, syca-
mores, cotton woods and cedars.

American universities who have little
else to do but spend their allowances
on “wine, women and song.”
But in the case of his royal consort
it’s a different kind of publicity.

New Orleans, La., May 4.—Loss in
operation of American ships comes not
from a surplus of modern ships but
from a lack of co-operation on the part
of all owners, foreign and domestic, to
stabilize a business in which all are
suffering, James A. Farrell, president
of the United States Steel corporation
and chairman of the national foreign
trade council declared today in an ad-
dress before the tenth annual conven-
tion of the national foreign trade coun-
cil in session here. Mr. Farrell discuss-
ed the shipping situation of the world.
"I am confident our foreign rivals
would recognize the desirability of co-
operation by all maritime countries in
disposing of tonnage to be used in the
market, so as to balance the supply of
ships with the demand, thereby stabil-
izing rates not merely to the
advantage of the operators but even
more to the advantage of the traders of
the world” he said.
“There is an opportunity for a trad-
ing relation. The shipping board ad-
mittedly has many more ships than it
hopes or needs to sell to Americans. Re-
tain sufficient for our needs, and sell to
foreigners the surplus. Internationally
there can be built a basis for the sale
of the board’s ships at the world’s mar-
ket price in a manner which will give
to the American ship owners a paying
basis on the volume of trade they seek.
The board would be in a position to say
to the American company in a given
trade route.
“ ‘Co-operate with the foreign lines
now competing with you. Replace un-
businesslike competition with sound
co-operation operations; which will
substitute profits for losses.’ The ship-
ping board can sell to the American
company the ships required for his
share, and sell to the foreign company
such ships as may be required for his
share. The prices of the ships to be
the same to each.”
