Houst on Bringhurst, daughter Of Gen. Sam
Houston, has issued = reply to Judge John
H. Reagans criticism Of the design Of the

says:
NO one knows better than Judge Reagan
that it was Houston's thorough under
standing Of the character Of the red man
that made treaties possible in the stormy
days Of the young republic. 1t was this
same far-reaching intelligence that made
him the invaluable counsellor Of more than
one President Of the United States.
