test between the Texas and Pacific and st.

for tho control OF the Texarkana, Shreve-

and the road will be in the control of the
Texas and Pacific about February . Of

While 81 is known that the Texas and Pa

vened at the State Capitol to-day.
The feature Of the first session was the
farewell message of Governor Mount.
Governor-elect Durbin (Rep) Will be in

message dealt with State affairs. Concern
ing the recent lynchings in Indiana, Gov
ernor Mount says:
The people OF Indiana feel keenly the
sting Of reproach and the justice Of the
criticism heaped upon the State by reason
of the brutal lynchings that have dishon-
ored her good name. A mob is an assembly
OF Iawless men acting in defiance Of law
Can such men administer Justice? Lax en-
forcement Of law brings its fruitage Of con,
tempt for law. The remedy must be found
through the cooperation of good citizens
in Demanding q rigid enforcement Of the
law and not through mob vfolence."
A more strgent law Is recommended. The
Governor fayors the election Of United
States Senators by popular vote.
The message says of Kidnapping:
where the kidnapers have no legal or
blood claim, where the abduction Is for
ransom or for any other unlawful purpose,
it should be made. in extreme cases. pun
