Upon Individual effort all depends. The

The Texas Mesquiter believes that lynching
Is at time justihable II says:
| Because we said iynching was right In some
instances, the Garland News proceeds to read
us lecture on the evil results OF the spirit
| of lynchlng. We believe In most cases the
law should be allowed to take its course, hue
| there are crimes or a crime too heinous, too
dsstardly. for humanity to stand and 1t is no
crime to avenge the pure womanhood Of the
| thousands OF others. we regret that such do
| occur but there is no doubt In our minds
that lynching 10 sometimes justihable.
Lynchng is deplorabe. even for rape. but
the thought OF chasto woman who has been
outraged being submitted to the bullyraggns
OF some lawyer in open court is horrifying.
Could such cases be tried in secret. people
might be willing to submit to legal methods.

says the Faris Advocate:
The appointment of Captain s. Taiiaferro
as Judge of the criminal district court for
Harris and Galveston counties insures a law
yer on the bench who knows his duty and is
not afraid to do 1t. The experience Captain
1aliaferro had in the Federal court here,
coupled with his good sense and learning, will
put him at once In the front rank of Texas
1urists.
Tho Corscana Sun wants more immigra-
ton:
There are no streams OF immigration to
Texas Just now from the older States The
newcomer is rare. Yet conditions and pros
poets ~ this state were never more inviting.
Texas never offered before to the newcomer
greater facilities for acquiring good homes
and fertile farms.
There Is lull in immigration at the mo-
ment. not only In Texas, but in all other
States. Times have been 80 hard under re-
publican rule that people have no money to
move to such a paradise as Texas is, but, as
Pryan will soon be president and the demo-
racy triumphant. immigration will resume.

The Fort Worth Register man intmates
that the weather is hot up his way. He says
The thought of what said and did when |
tbe temperature struck zero last winter ought
u reconcile us to the present condition of the |
weather
Down In South Texas the thermometer docs
get up into the nineties. but then we are al
ways famed by deligt tful breezes from the |
gulf. We did have a snap of North Texas
weather as valentine in February, but it
didn't last long.

The Floresyille Chronicle saws:
u. z. Mcfarland of the Victoria Times will |
not be candidate for the legislature at the
next election. He can't afford to hold the
office.
No good newspaper man can afford to sacri-
nee himself on the altar OF his country by
running for the legislature $4,000 salary
as congressman is the best any of us can
bite at.
The Paris Advocate SAYS:
Fortunately the farmers of Lamar county
