A column mixes sharp notes on honesty, prejudice, and law with satire on fines for corporations. It cites Governor Hogg on prejudice, critiques revivalism, and lampoons campaign spending by Morris and Ferguson. The piece ends humorously by questioning anti watermelons amid temperance talk.
The Herald endorses Mayor Tyra in closing a Fort Worth street by the Ham Ramsey tabernacle to ease disturbance at a meeting and approved Austin’s mayor for blocking streets for a carnival. It argues both mayors acted to reflect voters’ desires while opposing disfranchisement of non English speakers. It notes many citizens speak languages other than English and asserts every American citizen should enjoy rights.
The argument discusses how all interests including breweries banks and railroads contribute to campaign funds as a matter of self-preservation. It argues that if such contributions are wrong then the people must stop them, noting that the right or wrong applies to all and urging citizen action to reform.
