WHOLE THE CAEHTTAL SUTTEES.
Probably It has not occurred to th sev-
eral thousand citizens who on automobiles
tkat they have com very near ruining th
Carnival but it la a fact They have Im-
paired the spectacular effects o( the parade
aad Interfered with the enjoyment of Tlslt-
ars to auch an eitent by jnonopoUitog the
streets that It la platu we can Beyer bold
another Carnival In Houston unless aome
raT Can be found to protect the parade and
give Main street over to the people at night
With reapect to the parade let na re-
peat that there haa never been a parade
la Houaton properly protected. Effort hay
been made to do ao. becauee the Carnival
managers every year have experienced the
v.ni.hin. nf nmrfuHns their oeaeanta with
people and vehlclea crowding the atreett sJ-
' moat to the car tracks. It ia now evident
that hereafter the atreeta must be roped and
heavily policed daring parades and thoa
who violate the rnlea mutt be mad to pay
for their thoughtlessness and selflshneea.
But where the automobilista hurt moat la
after the parade when by thouaanda they
;. warm Into the street where the people ex-
. pect to have their fun. and fore them to
the sidewalks which are totally Inadequate
to accommodate the crowd. It la recalled
that year ago when the Carnival was young.
and when there were no automobile the
people had the use of Main street at night
and were not Interfered with by vehicle traf-
lie. The vehicle owners would leave their
; boggles and carriages at home and Jota the
Carnival throngs and multiplied thousands
of people mingled packing the street not
only on the sidewalks but from curbstone
to curbstone.
It should be that way now but the auto-
' mobUists are so anxious to see the feativV
- tie they monopolise the. street to such an
- extent that there Is not so much festivity
to trlew. The machines are so numerous
that at times all motion is stopped because
. of the congestion.
The council will have to enact special or-
dinances to control these conditions 11 we
. are to have Carnivals hereafter. It will be
necessary to literally fence the street at
certain hours and stop all vehicle traffic and
gtva Main street to the pedestrians for the
" Carnival revels between certain hoars after
nightfall otherwise visitors will not come
1 and citizens will not contribute their money
- to produce the Carnival
v A Csrniva) is essentially an entertainment
- to be participated In by pedestrians. Aato-
mobile owners might wen afford to park
tactr machines on streets not greatly used
and loin the multitudes afoot and aid them
ta making the Carnival a racceaa. Surely
they can see that comparatively few people
can be accommodated on the sidewalks and
without people there is really no Carnival
at aD-
It is to be hoped that during the remain-
ing days of the Carnival ail vehlclea wfll
remain off Main street for several hours at
night and let the pedestrians use It for their
pleasure and next year let a hope that
there wiB be ordinance that win abundant'
ly protect all paradea and enforce the right
of the people to use Main street for at least
three hours each night of Carnival Week.
It is really a matter of saving the Carnival

It ta well enough for the democratic party
to take not of these thing. Thar will be
hereafter no auch walkover as that of laat
year. The old enemy win not be spHt la half
at any rata and many of the Statea that
cam Into the democratic cotama la 1113 will
return to their former afBHatlona.
The certainty that this la going to hap-
pen ought to remind the democrat la coa-
greaa that much depend upon the record
they are to make within the next flfteea
nooths. it would ba a fatal blunder to tall
to carry oat the reform to which the party
la committed or to permit disseaaioai to ta-
vade the ranks. The currency bill now pend-
ing ought not to be permitted to become the

The approaching regular session of con-
gress win afford many opportunities for the
democratic party to prove its efficiency and
sense of rhepoasibnity. In addition to the
coaatractivw program of the administration
the Question of economy I bound to loom
up a on of the great tasks to ba per-
formed. The government la costing too
much. There are mlHioni upon millions
wasted. In every department there 1 ex-
travagance. There are too many officehold-
er too many people drawing salariea that
are not earned too much money frittered
away apoa worthless project All this must
ba corrected.
It 1 necessary to have a record of solid
achievement upon which to appeal for public
favor and confidence because we shall have
no such conditions to aid ua aa Colonel
Roosevelt precipitated In 1912. With the re-
publican party united or practically so the
fact that President Wilson lacked more than
1000000 votes of securing a majority of the
popular vote becomes impressive. We mast
depend upon our own strength rather than
upon the weakness of the opposition and oar
strength must be that which comes of duty1
well performed.
It Is not too early for congress to think
of these thing. If the people are disap-
pointed they are giong to turn the democ-
racy out
Judge Richard I. Monroe of the district
court at Waco is not enamored of the aua-
pended sentence law. His juries since the
new law became effective have been much
given to rendering verdicts with the rec-
ommendation that sentence be suspended In
the case of parties found guilty of the
crime charged against them The law
makes such recommendation mandatory upon
the judge presiding. The law Is a farce de-
clares the Waco judge. The quality of mercy
1 not strained. Juries selected from the
body of Texas citisena have lots of the milk
of human kindness. They recognise the
weakness of human nature in a degenrate
age and are prone to give every poor devil
upon his first Infraction of the criminal code
which is burdened down with statutory of-
fense another chance. The law Is not a
bad one. Its Intent is to ssve every weak
person who can be saved from a career of
crime. Society has no unit to waste. Every
Individual saved through the operation of
this law 1 so much gain for society.

The American Federation of Labor in con-
vention at Seattle this week refused to ac-
cept the credential of a delegate of the

Confer nc Take Advanced Ground aa to
Prohibition
(Frost Ik Waco Tmtt-Hmli.)
Much depends on the viewpoint The Central
Texas Methodist conference in session in Tem
ple adopted this resolution:
'Being a successful temperance method pro-
hibition become essentially a moral onestion.
The church ia not concerned about the politics
involved but preaches prohibition purely as s
moral question. This being the case there is
only one consistent position for Christians to
take on this moral question and a Methodist
misrepresents hi church when he either speaks
or vmea lor tne saloon.
George C Pendleton lived for many years ia
Temple. He was a member of the Methodist
church. He was for tare terms s member of
the Texas house of representatives and its speaker
for one term. He was also the presiding officer
for a time of the Texas senate. He waa for tome
weeks th acting governor of Texas. He served
for four years ia the congress at Washington.
He went on the stump and declared prohibition
to Be an immoral principle of government. Other
men of note ia Texas have done the same thing.
Wc tlm tee that much depend on the viewpoint
In so far as the Central Texas conference it con
cerned no man- can be considered s worthy mem
ber ef the Methodist church unless he votes for
prohibition. If wc mistake not this is the first
declaration of the sort to come from any church.
Ia ae far a we know all Methodists are prohibi-
twoista wales it be Governor Colquitt and would-
be Governor Sam Sparks. Roger Q. Mills was
for a Bomber of years a member of the Metho-
dist church; his views on prohibition took him
out wi uw icuowsmp. we do not know the pret-
eat status of George Bailey of The Houston Post
whe was converted under the preaching of Sam
Jones aad. George Stuart if we mistake not but
whe has stubbornly refused to get on the pro-
hibition aide. The Methodist minister have for
a long while proclaimed that every good Chris-
tian weold narnraUy be lined up for prohibition
and th Central Texas Conference hat now come
up to their position. Henceforth the preschert in
this conference caa urge prohibition from the
pulpit without subjecting themselves to criticism
back of their every utterance will stand the
church.

Pack ef alleged Reformers in Greater New 1 or.
It has been that way for almost a century ef
time. Whenever Tammany's sdmimrtion w

Reform administration in New York. Tammany
haa been called back th aext term te erv th

The Tammany society it the cleanest political

world. Not in forty-year ha there been a
tangible charge that to much a on dollar of
public money ha been misspent or misappro
priated by Tammany' representative in New
York' governmental affair Te be ture pnvat
money ha been lavishly used in politic by Tam-
many; to haa it been by the Reformers; the only
difference being that Tammany has taken its cam-
paign funds from the man lower down while the
Reformer hav obtained their from the mn
higher up in th financial and commercial seal.
But if th Tammany dollar wa taintea tne Re-
form dollar could not b the cleaner.
Every working aewapaper man who ha been
ia clot touch with New York a ew spa per aervice
or New York politic knows that what it above
aid i th simple truth. New York U the most
difficult city for which to administer government
ia all th world. There are more Irishmen in
New York than ther ar in Dublin. There are
mors Italian in New York than there ar in
Rom. There are nearly a many Germant in
New York aa there ar in Berlin. There ar
more Jew in New York than can be counted i
any other city on th face of the earth. Ther
it a larecr aaoTeeate of foreign born humanity
a New York City than can be found in any
other municipality on the globe. It is the great-
est "foreign city in America. Approximately all
of these foreigners are poor persona Mott of
them ar illiterate persons. The great mass of
them ar denendentt -they hav no initiative or
elf-reliance in the great problem of life. To
them Tammany hat been a father and a mother
in the matter of humane impulse sad action ponti
cally and industrially.
Good municipal government in Greater New
York it not a drawing room affair. The problem
of life in New York it no Sunday School picnic.

Tammany has often had bad leadership as
good and bad men are rated in the ultra-moral
code. But Tammany has never had cruel leader

was the recognized leader of Tammany at a time
when nationwide pr ogres si visra wss sweeping the

John Purroy Mitcbel wat elected mayor of
New York on Tuesday last through an alliance
of so-called democrats with republicans snd mis
cellaneous mugwump futionists. To illustrate the
insincerity of the average New York reform politi-
cian it is only necessary to quote the following
from a statement isued by Mayor -elect Mitchel
soon st bis success had been assured: "To
Judge McCall I extend my sincere greetings. The
camDaisn and its incidents are now history. As
mayor I shall invite the co-operation of Judge
McCall" etc. And this man whose assistance
for good government he it to 'invite is the ssme
Judge McCall whom Mitchel and his chief sup-
porters permitted to be denounced from every
reform stump m tne New York campaign aa a
common grafter and political trickster; even to
permitting him to be charged with having cor-
ruptly used money and purchased his nomination
to a judgeship. The fact is that v Judge McCall
is in every way as clean a man aa is John Purroy
Mitchel; but New York reform politics is ne
cleaner than the average brand.

ceal his operation behind the personality of his

didates has in it aa element of courage seldom
shown is public affairs and it is refreshing to
find beneath the rumble and roar ef factional
strife th firm cry of progress for with all due
respect to those who hold singl view on th
prohibition question the demagogue hat - done
more damage in Texas than any other single
factor. We can live with or without liquor but
we must have bread.
This leads as to suggest that a convention be
called to eliminate th demagogue from Texas
politics and in order to get the full benefits of
uch action ia; this campaign it should be called
before he ha had time to 'intoxicate the public
mind on th wine of discord and excite th pop-
ular thought on the strong drink prejudice. Will
the apostles ef progress call such a convention f
Tables Turned.
