Texas laws make it easy for citizen to vote if
he is worthy of citizenship and Texas doesn't care
two whoops in hades for the plank in the Republi-
can platform the threats of Republican leaders.
Judge A. W. Terrell drafted law for this State
which was built to run the gauntlet of a hostile
majority at Washington well the Supreme
Court of the United States.-Dallas Times Herald.
This is the common sense view Of the matter.
Pass the right kind of laws and defy the foolish
threats of Republican back numbers. The Terrell
law of Texas is model Of its kind, and its opera
ton is entirely satisfactory to the people of that
State. Other Southern States have franchise laws
which have been approved by the Supreme Court
and accomplish every desirable purpose. The South
is in position to smile contemptuously at the
Crumpacker element, and it need not worry itself
about such cheap politics is evidenced by the
Crumpacker plank in the Republican platform.
After painful period of stress and storm, the
Southern people have mastered the situation and
afford to ignore the narrow criticism of the
North. The best informed and most intelligent
sentiment of all sections is now tending toward the
Southern view and the Southern solution of the
Southern problem. -NoshriUe Tenn. Neus.

Judge j. T. Watkins.

From the Shreveport Caucasian of June 7th.]
The many friends of Judge J. T. Watkins, of
Minden, will note with pleasure his public and
formal announcement candidate for Congress,
which has been anticipated. Judge Watkins can
didacy was suggested and urged by large num-
Der of his friends throughout the district and he
has finally consented to enter the field actively,
after having received the most flattering encour-
agement of support. Judge Watkins is known per-
sonaly to the greatest majority of the people in the
district, by whom he is held in the highest esteem
He is man in whom reliance may be placed, and
he is Democrat of broad and progressive views.
He has always been in close touch with the people,
and being one of the people can sympathize with
them and has full appreciation of their needs.
AS gentleman and citizen he enjoys most en-
viable reputation, and judge his record, as an
open book is subject to the closest scrutiny and is
most creditable to him and the people who have
honored him with this judicial trust He has full
filled his duty acceptably, indeed, may add, that
he has always been guided by equity and justice in
the fullest sense of his official responsibility. Hav
ing listed for Congress, he will strive to win the
goal of his ambition, and should he be nominated
which is equivalent to an electon-the Fourth Con-
gressonal District will have for representative at
Washington gentleman of recognized ability, a
progressive citizen, man having the fullest and
best intereets of the people at heart, and a man
who will make his influence felt, and secure the
greatest benefits for the general welfare of the
district.

Cloth, IL mo-, 3S8 pages. With maps and lustra-
tons. Price 60 cents. American Book Company,

The latest addition to this successful series OF
supplementary geographical readers. It is in no
sense dry compilation from other books, but COM

Mr.. Carpenter is awell known lecturer and journal
list, and the book bears witness to his trained powers
of observation and his faculty of clear, interesting
and picturesque narration. 1t describes Australia

stress upon those which have become colonies or
dependencies of the United States Tho children
