Ex-Gov John L. Barstow has writ
ten an open letter to the public in
which he substantially claims that no
procedure under the local-option act
passed by the last legislature can be
legally taken under the proposed re-
ferendum Of February 3. The section
particularly referred 10 Is No. 100,
which provides that the act shall take
effect the first Tuesday in March, 1901
but II a majority OF the ballots Ca
are marked "No" then the law sha
not take effect until the FIRST Monday
in December, 1906 According to the
law as passed, Sections lOl, l02, 1913,
of the act will take effect from its pas
sage. The question is whether sec
ton which is not law can bring other
sections into effect. 1t has been sug-
gested that the governor submit the
question to the judges OF the supreme
court for their opinion The general
opinion is that the judges viii hold
that the intention OF the act was plain
and that it would be legal even if
there was technical omission.

There is no more interesting organi-
cation in the South to-day than the
Texas Farmers Improvement Society,
OF which the ''Texas Booker Washing
ton, Robert L. Smith, is the head.
This cooperative body recently held
its seventh annual convention and the
reports made at that meeting should
cure great deal of pessimism in re-
gard to the industrial future OF the
negro in the South. The society is
composed of 5000 negro farmers who
now own $4,000 acres of land, 5000
head of cattle, and 1000 horses and
mules. 1t is waging an aggressive
warfare against the crop-mortgage
system, is introducing improved meth
DDS of farming, takes care of its sick
and buries its dead In his annual
address Mr. Smith quoted from Secre-
tary Hays protest in behalf Of the
Roumanian Jews, to show his hearers
what advantages they possess, and he
was able to say, Sin Texas we have
no race problem, so far as govern
mental affairs are concerned Where
we are settled and own property, where
we have established a reputation as
Industrious, peaceable, sober, right
thinking citizens, venture to say that
the public conscience would not per-
nit advantage to be taken Of US, {"
Commenting on the meeting, the CAL
weston Daily News said: "One Of the
most pleasing features OF this meeting
was the excellent tone and the com
nonsense displayed in the speeches
and addresses The delegates all
seemed TO think Texas was the best
place this side Of Heaven, and that the
whites and blacks could and would live
togetherinper peace. 1.-THE Nation.

assuaiies Of older children keep the
EEments awake o nights. First one,
when the other is ailing.
These children seem well enough
at tines; but they are white,
hOllow-eyed, often listless, with
Szregular appetites, peevish and
fretful, wakeful at night, and con.
%tantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunction
5with Vinlax to regulate the bowels,

IN a day.
We know this because the ex-
amples are so numerous right
around home.
There is nothing in Vinol that
<san hurt them. 1t is pleasant to
take, and the amount necessary to
give the children a start costs but
little, Besides, if it doesn't do the
work, we will give you the money

There is nothing so good for
weak and tired mothers and ailing
children as Vinol. It gives them
