! Caldwell News Chronicle
For several months now we have run
ut the head of our editorial page an an
nouncement that we would not lend our
Endorsement to any candidate for legisla-
tive honors until he had unoquivocally an
nounced himself as being in favor of and
wiling TO work for a reasonable and re-
spectacle libel law in Texas. and for an
act requiring the publication of all
sherifl's sales IN some county paper We
also incorporated i'll that announcement
q request to our exchanges for eo-opera-
ton and that they take some kind OF q
stand in regard 10 this matter. We re-
greet that hut few papers have SVEN this
matter notice at all, or have considered
1t of enough Importance to give it fav-
orable mention.
We want to assert most positively that
this is no scheme of ours prompted by
selfish motives or desire TO win noto-
riety. but is "A scheme started solely FOR
the purpose of getting protection for our
interests and for every honest newspaper
In Texas. and for the purpose OF securing
for the newspapers n bit of patronage that
justice to them and The needs of the peo-
pie demand should be given them, We
want to say again that the notice "a it
stands is not mere idle talk, and We think
the policy indicated In IL certainly de-
mands the consideration of Texas news
papers and the support of Texas editors,
Now. We do not want to be looked upon
as fanatical or cranky about this matter
but we intend TO hammer away with the
persistency OF his satanic majesty pelting
tan bark, and. therefore, we cali once
again upon our exchanges to give this
matter earnest and serious thought, and
10 como out boldly for or against the
proposition of securing revision In our
laws relating to libel. II you can't sup
port proposition for q change, or don't
care continental how you have to strug-
gle just SO you exist, then say so aud
show that you are honestly decided one
way or the other.

end and again the anniversary OF the resur-
rectlon OF Christ is at hand. Today

joiclng in all of the Christian churches the
world over. 1t is a day when the interior

speaking OF flowers and their use, Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage says: FLOWERS have no
grander use than when on Easter morning
We celebrate the termination OF Christ from
the catacombs. And so | twist all of the
festal flowers OF all Of the churches OF
America with all the festal flowers of chapels
and cathedrals Of all Christendom into one
great chain. and with that chain bind the
Easter mornings OF our lives with the clos
ing Easter of the worlds history Of the
