LAW AIMED AT MOBS
WILL BE REINTRODUCED
Washington, Aug. 20.—Frequently
recurring outbreaks of mob violence
throughout the nation today caused
officials of the Coolidge administra-
tion to consider enactment of legisla--
tion making these offenses a crime
against the federal government.
With the governors of four states
alarmed by mob uprisings and mar-
tial law proclaimed in one locality,
President Coolidge was reported deep-
ly concerned by the apparent in-
creased disregard for law and order.
The president and other government
officials were considering the advisa-
bility of enacting an anti-mob bill in
the next congress. The proposed leg-
islation would apply not only to lynch-
ing mobs but to all organizations of
masked men who take the law “into
their own hands.”
The Dyer bill, passed by the last
house, but “talked to death” in the
senate by a democrat filibuster, will
be reintroduced in the next congress,
it was learned today.
The Coolidge administration is ex-
pected to support this measure inas-
much as the executive was elected on
a platform which pledged its enact-
ment.
Federal authorities, however, hope
to extend the Dyer bill to include all
masked organizations attempting mob
violence of any nature.
The Dyer bill, in its original form,
applied to lynching mobs. It provided
a penalty of $10,000 fines upon coun-
ties in which lynchings occurred and
would punish all state and county of-
ficers held responsible for the out-
rages.
A movement now under way would
amend the bill to make any act of
mob violence a federal crime. Under
this inventory would come whippings,
deportations and “tar and feather”
outrages, frequently attributed to the
Ku Klux Klan. Penalties on a lesser
scale than those applying to lynchings
would be provided.
Although the Dyer bill was bitterly
fought in the last congress, republi-
can leaders are more hopeful of its
enactment after next December.
CREAGER TALKS WITH
COOLIDGE ON STATE OF
AFFAIRS IN MEXICO
Washington, Aug. 21.—R. B. Crea-
ger, of Texas, who had been under
consideration by President Harding
for ambassador to Mexico, had nearly
an hour’s conference today with Pres-
ident Coolidge.
All that Mr. Creager would say aft-
er the conference was that he and Mr.
Coolidge had. discussed the Mexican
situation and that he had had a “very
pleasant conference with the presi-
dent.”
It has been indicated at the White
House that there would be no haste
in the appointment of an ambassador
to the southern republic if resumption
of diplomatic relations is decided on.
As outlined by a White House spokes-
man today the situation is as follows:
Should Secretary Hughes after
careful study of the report submitted
to him yesterday by Charles B. War-
ren and John Barton Payne, recom-
mend to President Coolidge that the
United States resume relations with
the Mexican government, that recom-
mendation unquestionably would be
approved by the chief executive and
the first step thereafter would be the
appointment of a charge d’affairs to
represent the United States in Mexi-
co City.'
White House officials expect Mr.
Hughes to submit a definite recom-
mendation when he has completed the
stpdy now being made at the State
Department. It' is felt that with the
appointment of a charge d’affairs it
would be possible to resume relations
at once, and still leave the ’administra-
tion here ample tipie in which to se-'
lect and appoint an ambassador.
Mr. and ’ Mrs. G. W. Tinkle have
rented their home on Broad street to
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Zimmerman, and
they are now boarding in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. T. IT. Bean. The neigh-
bors will miss the Tinkles, but as they
are so pleasantly situated, they are
willing to sacrifice this pleasure in
their behalf.
consent to the signature of a desig-
nated registrar. If so, the change can
be quickly effected.
Nor is it true that there is any basis
of truth for the long-standing belief
that the Constitution requires that
laws passed shall be written in pen
and ink and tied up in ribbons. The
Constitution is absolutely silent on the
subject. It does not even say that the
laws shall be written, As a matter
of fact,- the acts of the House have
been typewritten since 1905, and the
Senate acts since about 1907. If the
houses should decide to print them,
as they ought to do, the Constitution
would be satisfied.
The Constitution of Texas is not
as silly as many of the advocates of a
new Constitution have pictured it to
be.—Dallas News.
Mrs. Chas. Ozburn is in receipt of
a letter from Mrs. Grace Burrell, who
now lives in San Francisco, Calif., in
which she states that she is to teach
this year her 'favorite subject, biolo-
gy, in the largest high school in San
Francisco, the Lowell High School,
where 100 teachers are employed. This
summer she has been employed in
Oakland Municipal Camp, where She
delivered lectures around the camp
fires and she is known as the “Na-
ture Lady.” Next summer she
expects to be in the National Park
Service as nature guide and will be
located at Sequoia (Giant Forest)
which is one of the national forests.
Mrs. Burrell’s friends here will, be
glad to know that she is forging to
the front in her work and that suc-
cess is attending her.

THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT
GUILTY
Many reasons have been advanced
in advocacy of revising the Constitu-
tion of Texas. Most of them have
been offered by persons having small
acquaintance with the Constitution.
For example, an esteemed contempo-
rary asserts that the Mayor of Dallas
is obliged to sign his name 9,000 times
to an issue of bonds, when it was not
foreseen that a city would issue $9,-
000,000 of bonds. It adds that this
provision is almost as antiquated as
another that requires that all laws
passed shall be wi'itten with pen and
ink and tied up with ribbons.
The truth is that the Constitution
of Texas provides as to municipal
bonds only that taxes shall be levied
to pay the interest and create a sink-
ing fund. There is absolutely no re-
quirements in the Constitution that
bonds shall be signed by anybody.
The general laws provide that city
bonds shall be signed by the Mayor
and secretary. These laws are appli-
cable only to the smaller cities. If
the requirement is onerous, it can be
moderated by a simple act of the Leg-
islature.
Some of the larger cities have char-
ter provisions requiring the Mayor
and secretary to sign bonds. These
can be moderated by amendment of
the charter under the home rule plan.
It is not necessary to revise the
Constitution in order to relieve our
overworked Mayors; As a matter of
fact the requirement for signatures
probably proceeds from the bond buy-
ers, who desire definite authentica-
tion. It might be that they would
