GROUNDED ONALLE-

1t is not clear why any opposition
should exist in the legislature to the pas
sage of n civil libel law. There is a class
of politicians who regard the press UNI
versal as a personal enemy, but it was
not believed that it had any considerable
number of representatives in the Twenty
first legislature. The question at issue is
very simple one: Whether the
press of Texas shall receive pro-
lection from legal persecution and
blaekmaih That is all there is in the
matter The press asks nothing more;
it is entitled to nothing less
Those whose chief fear is that the press
may obtain dangerous license, forget
that there is a very elaborate and rigor-
Gus statute on the subject of libel in the
penal code. Whatever civil legislation
may be had, the punishment of libel viii
remain where it properly belongs. with
the state. and under a code harsh enough

! THE PROFITS OF AGRIC ULTURE.
The attention of the CIeburne Enter
prise is respectfully called to that chapter
of Commissioner Fosters statistical re-
port relating to johnson county Sew
eral days since the Enterprise joined issue
with THE GAZETTE on the proposition
that the farmers on the best agricultural
lands of Texas could not meet the re-
quirements of the Texas land law. 1t
pointed TO the farmers of Johnson county
to verify its views
According to Mr.. Fosters report the
total population of johnson county Is
81 ,522, the town population $3.50, and the
rural population y ,172 The gross value
1914 ,S99 .0S, or an average product, per
head, of the agricultural population of
500 Al. THIS was not the cash product of
the crops, but their gross value as esti-
mated by the farmers themselves. It viii
hardly be denied that 500 Al is almost
the lowest possible minimum cost of lIv-
ing in this country, not to speak of the
other expenditures such as for educa-
ton, necessary TO civilized existence
Johnson county is conceded to be one of
the best agricultural counties in the agri-
cultural belt of Texas; yet, by this show
ing, if her farmers had been upon
school lands, bought under the
terms of the land law, the great
mass Of them would have been
evicted by the state at the close of the
year 1887, and their homes confiseated to
the benefit of the public treasury.
The land law is contrary to the expe-
rience of any age or of any people. It
has proved a failure and it will prove
failure because it requires impossible re-
suits from agricultural enterprise

THE GAZETTE s esteemed contempo-
rary, the Denton Times, should not re-
peat the alIuSion to Mr.. Geers as ever
having been a Vidette. Those who gave
the information that led to the connec-
ton of his name with the order now at
test that he never was connected with
the order. THE GAZETTE is satisfied that
the chivaly of the Times will not permit
it to do injustice to any one, and THE
GAZETTE, as the vehicle of the error in
the first place, calls the Times attention
TO that error.

THE people now on the earth in Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, In
diana and other states are clamoring for
good pcTmaRcat roadways. If their
forefatherS could come back to earth
they would doubtless beg pardon and ex-
cuse themselves, saying: 1--WE were so
solieitous about you, our dear posterity
that we travelled through the
mud and left you to do the
same. We and you squandered
vast sums Of money and wasted labor in

POPULATION gives value to land. Lots
that, ten years ago, sold for 5000 are now
selling for $1,000 and $4,000. With more
population the same lots would sell for
more money. The way to secure popula-
tons is to enact laws promotive of immi-

A street discussion upon matters of
church doctrine frequently forces a
man to ''cast his pearls before swine,"
and subject himself to the ignorant
council of the ungodly. There is dan
ger in such a common and, strictly
speaking, unchristian practice and
should be avoided by all those who are
specially told to ''abstain from conten-
tion," to let their conversation be
yea, yea, and nay, nay" The most ig
norant ass in all churches will presume
to say something whenever the matter
is discussed and will indulge in the use
of terms, both of Greek and Hebrew
origin, which he knows no more about
than a wild goose knows about the
opera or a crane the German dance.
There is grandeur in the roar of
lions but. deliver US from the harsh

During last week it was rumored
that Rev. Ernest Stevens would preach
upon ':Baptism'' Sunday night. In
consequence, the M E. Church South
was crowded almost to it's very utmost
capacity. Not only Methodist but,
Episcopalians, Romanists Presbyteri-
ans and Baptists crowded to hear this
reverend young man of power and
eloquence speak upon this much dis
puted requirement of God and His
Church. We have not seen so large a
congregation in the building since the
visit of Bishop Pearce, near twenty
years ago.
Very little was said, contrary to
expectation, as to the mode of baptism
although enough to enable the speaker
to fully demonstrate the main points of
his discourse. He took the position,
and proved it, that Johns baptism was
not the baptism with which we are
commanded to be baptized and denied
that even Johns baptism was, in form,
immersion. HIRE a familiarity with
Greek text enabled him to be conclu-
sive. The Greek propositions md their
CONSTANT translation and accustomed
construction in certain cases, were han
died as familiacly as stud!ous school
boy handles the table Of measures.
He showed the folly of the old maxium
ABB UNo Disco oMNEs and showed that
the sacred term BAPTIzo was multifa-
rious in it's significance and could not
be relied upon to prove any certain
special mode of administration.
The whole sermon was repletc with
soundness and great Christian regard
and charity for those who. in their
wisdom and goodness, saw fit to differ
from the teachings of his church and
the practices of his people.
