The people of the State of Louis
lana may well congratulate them
selves that they have Judiciary, in
the simplest meaning of the word.
Against the clamor OF the populace,
in the face of the excited, unthink-
ing talk of the press, they have de-
cided the greatest question which will
ever come before them. Their judg-
ment to-day may not meet the APP
proval of all the people, but when
reason-the sober, second thought
shall resume its sway, they will thank
God they had Supreme Court.

Texarkana is built at the junction
of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. 1t
received its name in 1919, and when
an enthusiastic surveyor, running the
lines, bIazed the three fragments of
the names of the new State on tree,
and predicted that great city would
be built there. Four years ago, when
the town yas founded, the name, still
to be seen on the old tree, was
adopted, and the prediction seems in
a fair way to be accomplished, as the
little burg has some three thousand
inhabitants and an important railroad
station. Shreveport Times.

Two Parties Necessary.
Meridian Miss Mercury.

There is bound to be two parties in
all free governments. With only one
party, the tyranny of party becomes
intolerable, and forces men of inde-
pendent turn to organize an opposi-
tion. The tyranny of Gen. Jackson
drove John Calhoun, John Bell, John
Tyler and others into the Wing ranks,
and more recently the tyranny of the
Radicals drove Frank Blair, Gratz
Brown, Gen. Ewing, Gen. Banning,
Dorsheimer and Robertson into the
Democratic ranks. In Alabama, the
Radical party having disappeared the
Democracy is in imminent danger OF
falling together by the ears in a gen.
eraI scuff1e for Office and the attempt
to enforce submission to the behests
of the caucus. There is likely to be
an independent party in the field in
every Southern State in which the
Radical party has given up the ghost,
and where there is no peril of a Rad
ical slipping in through Democratic
divisions, we see no particular harm
in the running of Independent Dem
ocrats against Incompetent nominees
1t is incompetent nominees that pro-
duce independent candidates.
