As representatives of the people, the
legislature is honest in its desire to
obey the public will. They know there
is division of feeling in regard to the
herd law, and they want the people to
say what they want-herd law or anti
herd law. The people of Northwest
Texas want no herd law. II they
would influence the legislature they
must express themselves strongly
against such law. Public meetings
will bring out the sentiment of the
people. Call them at once and say what
will happen il a herd law is enacted.

GAZETTE, when the governor MAGE

freely thereon. But the GAZETTE was
ever above doing DR.. Wallace inlus-

was never called in question, and when
the governor decided to appoint him
there was seemingly an end OF the

zErrE. had some very positive opin-
ions on the subject. The shape In
which the matter is now revived Is
rather unpleasant, we grant, and II Is
to be regretted that such is the case

less, nor can the governor and the asy-
