school board last night is important.
Since a majority of the board regularly
elected will be necessary to make con-
tracts with the builders whose bids for
erecting the new school building were
opened last night, the occurrences at
the meeting will cause contractors to
be cautions and a delay will be caused
in the construction of the new school
buildings.

openly and forcibly that the matter
rests with the states, the states, or a
majority of them a ill not hesitate to

A City of Mexico telegram says:
It is again rumored with some insist
ence that prominent American and
European bankers have offered a fin-
ance loan which wonld place Mexico on
a gold basis. The manufacturing ele-
ment is firmly opposed to any change
of the standard, as Mexioo is prosper-
ing as never before, and the silver
standard is credited with the country's
ability to compete in manufactures in
many lines with Europe ana the United
States. The great planting interests are
now largely exporting and are opposed
to the gold standard.

The announcements few days ago
that the bacillus producing cancer has
beeu discovered, thus opening the way
to the development of a remedy for that
terrible disease, says an exchange, creat-
ed no small sensation in the civilized
world. The fact that mortality caused
by oencer is rapidly increasing gives in-
terest to any discoveries that may jield
a remedy. It is the consensus of opi-
nion among the highest medical author-
ities that “no single factor is more po-
tent in determining the outbreak of
cancers in the pri disposed than high
feeding. " That people not only con-
sume to stimulating food, but too large
a quantity of food of any kind to meet
the requirements of nature, is claimed
to be the main cause for the rapid
spread of cancerous disorders almost
everywhere. A high authority says
that “many indications point t> the
gluttinous consumption of (neat, which
is such a characteristic of this age, as
likely to be especially ^armful in this
respect." Statistics show that the con-
sumption of meat has for many years
been increasing by leaps and bounds,
till now it has reached the amazing to-
tal of 131 pounds a head per year,
which is more than double what it was
half a century ago, when conditions of
life were more compatible with high
feeding. The writer adds: “No doubt
other factors co-operate, and among
these 1 should be especially inclined to
name deficient exercise and probably
also deficiency in fresh vegetable food.”

When in an effort to escape responsi-
bility for the multiplication of the
trusts, and, indeed, to aid those big
combines, the attorney general of the
United States declared that the duty
devolved upon the states to regulate or
prevent the trust*, he possibly little an
ticipated that the states would take
him at his word and proceed to their
task with promptness and vigor.
Attorney General Griggs’ statement
was directly the rnovi- g inspiration for
the anti trust law enacted by Arkansas,
a few days since, and the example of
Arkansas is being felt in Texas and
other states.
There may lie and is in the Arkansas
stutntes, and in the one proposed for
Texas a provision here and there that
might well be m idified or held in abey-
ance for a while in order not too sudden-
ly to unsettle established business, but
the general terms and purpose of the
laws are not only necessary and proper,
but the drastic nature of the provisions
has been invited both by the confession
of the federal attorney general that the
federal authority is powerle • in the
premise* and by the arroganoe aud ag-
gressiveness of the trusts themselves!
Do these promoters and members of
these big combines imagine that the
pnblic upon which they prey will for-
ever sit silent and submissive? Can they
not understand that the law of self
defense is common to communities as
well as to individualu, aud that the
bolder and stronger and more outrage
ons the attack upon the principle of free
competition in business, the more de-
termined aud bitter will be the pub
lie’s defensive measure? Drastic busi-
ness methods naturally aud inevitably
beget drastic measures for the preven-
tion. The combines have only them-
selves to blame if the people go to the
other extreme in regulation.
It is not the purpose certainly of the
Texas legislature to do an injustice to
any line of legitimate business in this
state. The conservative sentiment of
Texas would not approve of oppressive
measures. If there are any features in
the proposed anti trust law that are too
extreme, or ill timed, or unjust, the leg
islators will doubtless, as they ought,
modify them.
But the presence of an anti trust law
on our statute books that will accom-
plish its purpose, that will break up
trust business in Texas aud that will
not prove a dead letter is a necessity of
the times, and popular sentiment will
approve it, let the oonsequenoes fall
where they may. When the attorney
