tho ultimate effect which tho proposed
amendment in designed to avoitl for nll time.
The amendment comprises two parts. The
first part prohibits tho establishment OF my
religion III nny State Of the Union, and tho
paasage Of any law interfering with
the FREQ exercise Of individual rclig-
ious belief or preferences. This Is
alrcady tho organic law Of nearly oil,
Il not aoiunlly oil, Of tho States OF Tic Union.
Bnt this iB not enough. II my powerful re-
Ggious Boct sought to possess itsolf Of po-
1itical dominion, or songht to exercise m un-
due sectarian control Of tho temporal nffairs
Of the people, It's first movement would bo
to secure the public schools of the country,
which constitute the most important factor
of our civilization. Hence tho necessity for
absolutely prohibiting everywhere tho diver
sion Of my public funds, raised by taxation
for educational purposes, to tho interest of
sectarjan instruction. Tint the danger Of
m attempt Of this kind is by no tucana ro-
1no.o is sufficiently apparent from tho fact
That one largo, riclf, andinauential sect-the
RomRu Catholic Church-has already 1nado
efforts In certain States, notably Now York
and Ohio, to secure proportion OF the
school fund for tho maintenance Of Its dog
matio schools. That the ultorior purpose Of
such . movement iB TO proseiyte, md to cx-
tend tho power Of the Church in political
and temporal affairs, is to DO believed,
for tho obvious reason that tho Roman Gath
olio Children hnve now tho sstno rights in
public schools ns tho children Of parents who
belong to Protestant determinations. It is
high time, therefore, that the danger Of M
Ultramontano party attaining ascendonoy in
any Stato, and tho probability tint it would
rso a,,ch ascendancy to nbsorb The school
fund or part thereof, should be definitely
set at rest by constitutional prohibition.
Just now the chief dAnger Of m attempt on
tho public-school funds is threatened by the
Ulttamontane faotion of tho Roman Church,
but 1t does not stop hcre. If the Ultramon-
tares should prevail In ono State, the Moth

Dir. J. J. Walker, representing the
jewelry house of Aiken, Lambert 4
Co., New York, met with painful ac
cident in this city on Sunday evening
In company with Mr.. Frank Austin,
he was walking along the railroad
track near the Union depot, when a
train appearing in sight, he attempted
to step down the embankment, in do
ing which his right foot caught in one
of the frogs" throwing him to the
ground, and breaking several of the
smaller bones of the foot. A carriage
was procured, and the unfortunate
gentleman conveyed to his rooms at
the lie Grand, and the services of DIR.
Locke called into requ.sition, who
promptly administered all necessary
surgical attention, and left the sufferer
quietly resting. Barring a close con-
finement of week or ten days to his
room, Mr.. Walker will suffer no Sc
rious Inconvenience from his unhappy
accident.

Another Old Citizen Gene.

our community was startled yester
day morning by the announcement
that George w. Baird was dead. On
inquiry, II was ascertained that Mr.,
Baird died suddenly ut his residence
on Sunday nj II o'clock, Of typhoid
fever, In the prime of life, his face was
familiar to all OF our citizens, old ana
new for he was genial, atIable, aud II
might be said, winning man. BY
which II is meant that George Baird
was one Of those sons Of nature whose
faces indicate their true character.
The assertion may be ventured that he
had not on earth, and never had, n
personal enemy. His impulses were
ever overlooking with generosity to all
his fellows. Mistakes he may have
made, II is true, but wlllful wrong he
never committed,
Mr.. Baird was born and raised in
Robertson county Tennessee; married
to Miss Elizabeth Traughber In 1917;
moved to Texas in 1910, and was in
the ifty.siXth year Of his age at the
date of his death, His home has ever
been, since landing in Texas, in the
town and city of Dallas. lie has been
one Of lis from cur inlantile state,
with all the trials Of frontier
village, to our present condition
us ilourlshing city of fifteen
thousand inhabitants, But few
men have such n record. Mr.. John
W. Smith, Wormly Carter and Judge
James NJ. Patterson, all from the same
county in Kentucky, are among the
few survivors of those early days in
our town. The great mass of our city
population are comparatively new cit
liens, but all delight to honor the old
original few who laid the foundations
Of our present prosperous city.
Mr.. Baird was in the prime of life.
But three days since he was on our
streets in apparent health. Now he
sleeps in the silent tomb. He leaves
a widow, two married children and
three younger sons, besides other
kindred who have the sympathies of
this entire community. His eldest son,
Rolando, is absent in Arkansas, but !
was telegraphed to and was expected
home last night,
We may add, and do so with pleas
are, that from its foundation, twenty
six years ago, to the present time, Mr.
Baird was a continuous subscriber to
THE HERALD, and hence, in his death
THE HERALD has right to feel, as it
does, double loss In his death.
