ZEITUNG FORCES REOPENING CUTTING AFFRAY YESTERDAY
OF TU LIST CONTROVERSY AFTERNOON AT KINGSBURY
It was rather interesting and
amusing to The Gazette to read in
/the last issue of the “Seguiner”
Zeitung that The Gazette has been
launching “violent” attacks. The
“violent*’ one we are charged with,
however, was not upon the Huns
4>n a foreign battlefield, but upon
the Honorable Commissioners’
Court of Guadalupe County, ac-
cording to the (misconception of
the esteemed and learned editor of
the “Seguiner” Zeitung. Now let’s
see. According to Webster we
note that “violent” means: “An
assailant; to act violently; strength;
force; moving or acting with phy-
sical strength; impelled with force;
edited by strong feeling or pas-
sion; fierce; furious; severe,” etc.,
etc. Now in order to set those at
ease who have construed the “vio-
lent” attitude The Gazette took in
the matter that has so grievously
offended the “Seguiner” Zeitung,
it may be necessary to reopen
subject that The Gazette had hoped
was closed, viz.: The publication
of the delinquent tax list of Guada-
lupe county in a foreign language
paper. Immediately upon the mat-
ter being brought to the attention
of the Court by The Gazette, to-
gether wiith an extract of the law
governing the publication of ALL
* ral matters in newspapers of
general circulation, the Honor-
able Commissioners’ Court of Gua-
dalupe County ordered said list
published in the Seguin Enterprise,
a newspaper coming up to the re-
quirements of the law. There was
not any signs of violence in this,
was there? But naturally it stung,
Fritz Maurer, a prominent busi-
ness man of Kingsbury, received
painful knife wounds about the
body yesterday afternoon. The
extent of his injuries could not be
ascertained at press time.
It is said the wounds were in-
flicted while engaged in an alter-
cation with Van Beatty, a rural
mail carrier of Kingsbury.

the means o£ cutting the public

some extent at least, or rather of

no legal right. The Gazette is cer-
tainly glad to know that the “Ss-
guiner” Zeitung’s learned editor is
about the only one that placed
that awfully “violent” construc-
tion on the performance of the
plain duty of a newspaper that
had sufficient courage to insist on
the right of the people and the tax-
payers. Not even the members of

Guadalupe County. This gentle-
man hardly needs any introduc-

Guadalupe county for he has been
here a long time—in fact he was
born and reared in this county,
and a great many years of his life
have been spent in affairs con-
nected with the office he now
seeks, or similar ones. He has

He charges this “same English
speaking element (it is more than
welcome to that by the way) of
watching the contents of it (the
“Seguiner” Zeitung) very closely
here lately.” All of which is a con-
fession that it has been suspicioned
of disloyalty. And who is to blame
for this suspicion if it does exist?
The answer is very plain. None
but the Zeitung itself.
He further justifies the publish-
ing of shorter official notices in the
Zeitung, saying that no one has
objected to these, and that the
size of the transaction of the de-
linquent tax list publication was
the cause of our complaint. Now,
we admit that we want business
and go out of our way to get legit-
imate trade, as any other sane bus-
iness concern will, but as to the
cause given above we will say his
conclusion is absolutely false. We
had no opportunity to object to the
shorter legal notices referred to
because they concerned individual
litigants and did not represent an
expenditure of the people’s money
as was the case with the tax list.
In this connection, however, we
want to say that the officer, who
knowingly turns in to the “Segui-
ner” Zeitung legal documents for
publications therein is jeopardiz-
ing the legality of all such matters

Brandes to thi* Front Soon
Felix J. Brandes came down
from Camp Travis this week and
called aro md at The Gazette office
to have his paper forwarded to
him. Mr. Brandes likes the ser-
vice fine now, though he says the
first two weeks seemed like ages
to him and he would have given
anything to be out.- The condi-
tion has just reversed itself now
and Mr. Brandes says he is as
anxious to “get across” as any of
the rest of them, and that pros-
pects are good for his soon realiz-
ing this desire.
In this issue of The Gazette will
be found copies of the con-
stitutional amendments to be
voted on in the general election in
November. As a usual thing these
amendments go by default for the
reason that the voters so -
ever, familiarize themsd' e: with
the questions sufficiently t vote
intelligently on them. To over-
come this the State provide for
their publication in practic^uy ev-
ery county in the State. They
may be a ’ittle dry reading, but„
we would like to urge upon all
voters the necessity of reading
them over in order . to vote intel-
ligently.
