The University and Legislative Res
OlutiOn.

To the Editor OF The Post.
Austin, Texas. juno 2s.--Aiiow me to
thank The Post for its manly position
in reference TO the resolution passed by
the Twenty fifth legislature looking TO
effect that Southern traditions and history
were being belied and belittled in the
State university.
The Galveston News has deliberately
misstated and distorted the facts as to
the purpose and intention of that resolu
ton. The News representative was pres
ent when 1t was under discussion, and the
editor of the News was. of course. aware
Of the scope OF the resolution Itself
Why should the News deliberately mis-
etate the facts and misrepresent the leg
sature?
As one OF the signers. I wish TO state
emphaticaly that the sole purpose of the
prOmpters Of the resolution was TO as
certain the truth of the report that doc
trines calculated To belittle the South
were taught in the university, Myself,
Colonel S. Y. Burns OF Brownwood and
others spoke for the resolution and ] am
certain that the News correspondent. who
Was on the Moor at the time. knew then,
ana Knows now, that the resolution ana
the discussion thereon disproves any
charge, by anybody, that the object of the
resolution and the desire OF the legislature
was 10 have none but sincere. pure, dyed
in-ihe-wool democrats" manufactured in
In the university. as charged by the
News
While do not object to the manu-
tuTe of Simon pure democrats. In the
good old-fashion way. l am opposed 10
any sort of politics being taught in our
university, l would even object TO he In
culcation OF the financial views OF tho
$4,000 president OF that Institution, but
would the News object to 1t? Has the
News, which grows hysterical at the bare
idea Of democrat being manufactured"
IN the peoples university, roared very
loudly over the fact that the president,
or professor. In great Northern uni
verslty has been all but bounded out of
his job because he voted for William j.
Bryan.
We have heard the News laud Culberson
for his nerve in vetoing certain measures
but has anyone heard the News laud
crlbcrson for lauding the work OF tho
legislature as a whole?
In conclusion, I am glad TO note the
strong hold The Post is taking with the
people Maybe that is one reason why
some people hate democracy worse than
they do honesty and fair dealing,

Judge Dickinson Replies to a Card

To the Nashville Banner.
a card In the American OF June 20, siuuel
II. II. Baker arraigned Judge REAGAN for
an alleged error made In his speech to tho
Confederate Veterans. The card scms Ia
assume that Judge Reagan said that Lin.
coin and Seward were not willing to raw
for slaves Judge Reagan made no such
statement. He is a careful lawyer, and
has long training In public debate. He
chooses his ground deliberately ana meas
ures his words.
The trouble with Mr.. Baker seems to
be that he did not appreciate Just what
Judge Reagan did say. Judge Reagan said
that President Lincoln made no "oifer IT,
any form for the slaves, and that mo
conference"
There is wide difference between IAN

OF the United States, and the expression OF
the individual views Of MIR, Lincoln, or his
belief as 10 the views of others. Judge
Reagan did not discuss IN any way the In =

may have said in regard 10 the views OF
others. His remarks referred alone to an

LYNCtllNG IN TEXAS--Texas has fur
nishcd large share OF the lynchngs In
this country for ten years past. An at
tempt to institute reform Is seen in the
anti-lynching Law passed b. the Texas leg
islaturs at It's recent session. II makes all
participants In Il mob which for any reason
whatsoever inflic,s death upon any person
guilty Of murder IN the first degree.
Texas, like all other states. had law
against lynchng before this act passed. and
in the eye of the law all participants In
lynchiugs ara guilty of murder.
1t was thought, however. that the enact
ment OF a specific statute against iynching
would have salutary effect Governor
Culberscn took this view, aud In II special
message to the legislature urged the pas
sage OF just such a Law as has been enacted.
The pr, SIS OF the State has very generally
commended the action OF the legislature.
but it remains to be seen IL the new law
will have any effect In nearly every in
stance where lynching occurs the COM
munijy has been shocked by some hideous
crime and is in sympathy with the mob.
Under such circumstance 1t will he I'M
possible to convict anybody connected with
the lynching The Texas law is an official
condemnation of mob violence, but 1t VIII

frequently visited with vengeance ut the

THE FUSION IN IOWA The republl-

1t has by It's blunders and crimes deep
ened the popular discomfort which found
dangerous expression in the last election.
1t has filled tho followers OF Mr.. Bryan
with new courage and hope. 1t has dis
appointed and disgusted the independent
voters who put it in power as choice Of
evils.
The government needed more revenue.
The republican congress is framing a tar
III for more robbery. The burdened tax
payers called for retrenchment. The re
publican congress has gone further than
ever IN the line OF reckless extravaganza.
The country demanded rest. The repub-

thrown it into new turmoil and uncertain

The issue upon which the campaign was
fought and won was sound money--pro-
