NoRToN's INTELLIaENCER OF yester-
day, publishes the first part of Judge
Nortons address before the second
annual meeting of the Editorial associ-
alton, held in this city in October last.
AS far as we can judge 1t is very cor
rect history of the Texas press, and as
such, deserves to be perused by every
editor in Texas. This part brings the
history up to the establishment OF the
Clarksville Standard, in 1912, few
months previous, we believe, to the es-
iablishment of the Galveston News.
We shall look, with interest, for the
remaining portion of the address.
Judge Norton, in an editorial calling
attention to it, says: "We will esteem
it us favor if any one reading this
sketch will notify us by letter of errors
of omission or commission, that we
may make proper correction. We
would also he glad to receive copies of
any of the old Texas newspapers, that
the same may be put in form for pres
ervation."

A fair Convention or no nomination
seems to be the voice of the people of
Dallas county. A few handfuls of men
iave no light to dictate to four thou
,and Democratic freemen for whom
hey shall vote. II Tarrant has resur-
.ected n superannuated old gentleman
IN his second childhood, we do not see
why Dallas should commit as great an
error ia some other respect. The peo-
pie want IN III of brains, of experience,
and intellectual activity to
make COrstitution-men who thor
pugllly understand the evils of the
lines, and the remedies therefor. If
such men cannot he had, nothing is to
be gained by Convention.
Is it not time that steps were being
taken towards holding n Fair during
the coming fall? Northern Texas has
never been blessed with more alum

gestions for the consideration Of our
people, and particularly the two asso-
