QUESTION Of REFERENDUM
WILL GO To HIGHER COURT
The United States Supreme Court
VIII Pass Upon this Feature
in the Dallas Charter.
Special to the Light.

Speclal TO the L1B1L.
San Antonio, Texas, April "a
The question of referendum and re-
call as applied in the city cf Dallas
may take national scope. 1t appears
that superintendent Arthur Lefevre
has brought action against the new
Dallas city school board in such a
manner that it will be passedFupon
by the United States Supreme court.
The complaint of Lcfevre apparent
ly admits that the recent recall cleo
ton was held in accordance with
the provision of the charter. The
only contention to be made in the
future stages of the litigation will
be On the constitutionality of the re-
call provision. In view OF the fact
that Senator Bailey of this state has
taken such a decided stand against
recall and referendum, the course OF
this litigation will be followed with
much interese by people in all parts
of the country. In passing upon
this the supreme court of the nation
will practically decide whether OF
not the recall and referendum in the
Arizona constitution is in harmony
with the constitution of the United
States, and also whether or not the
people have a right, in the broadest
sense, to decide upon what they
want. The very essence of recall
and referendum is contained in the
legal proceedings now pending be
fore the national supreme court.

It is well to remember that on
SATURDAY. May G, there is to be elect
ed a board of trustees for the schools
of Waxahachie. So far as The public
is advised there do not seem to be
any applicants for the job though it
is reasonable to suppose that, as
usual a ticket will be provided for
the voters This matter seems to be
left entirely in the hands of some par-
ticular individual, and we presume
every one is satisfied.

to give out the information that the
adoption of prohibition would de-
prive the state of about $500 900 in

Uncle Sam Helps the Texas Farmer.

Uncle Sam Helps the Texas Farmer.
The doors of knowledge are open
wide to the Texas farmers and the
the farmer who does not know the
powers of the hidden soil has him
self alone to blame. The United
States department of agriculture is
spending millions of dollars annu-
ally in educating American farmers
and of this amount approximately
$4,000 is expended in Texas in
demonstration work, special agents,
etc, and this is supplemented by
contribution of an equal amount
from commercial clubs and local
communities The state department
of agriculture has done wonders for
agricultural interests on the small
amount of money which the legisla-
ture has given them, $25, 900 per
annum. and commercial clubs and
other organizations are directing
their efforts in furthering the inter-
est of the Texas farmer.
With the help of experimental sta
tions, agricultural colleges, farmer
institutes, and demonstration farms
farm literature, etc, every farmer In
Texas has an opportunity of keep
ing in close touch with agricultural
methods and Developments.
These forces which are at work for
the upbuilding of agriculture, be-
sides educating the farmers of the
state. are very materially increns-
ing Texas farm production and ne
who would write the last chapter OF
the progress in agriculture, must
await the procession of centuries.

SPEED THE SCHOOL BILL
The House made it unanimous, almost.

The House made it unanimous almost.
Passage of the School bill on third reading in the House
of Representatives this morning with an amendment that
may may not block in the Senate or in conference COM
mttee advances this important measure long step to-
ward its final appearance on the table of the Governor
where is at least certain Of being free from complication
with trades made overnight on another bill.
The progress of this measure through the House Of Rep
resentatves has developed the fact that daes to
come out in open assault the measure but there and
has been steady force striving to cut down the amount of
money that is required to place the public schools OF these
islands proper basis This was evidenced in the con-
test on the tax bill Monday afternoon and was again brought
out in the vote on the Keino amendment this forenoon.
The amendment made in the House gives the enemies If
the bill another chance to take fling at it in the Senate
and possibly tie the measure up in deadlock between the
two houses until the foies of the tax bill can be perpetual
ed. This is possible but under ordinary circumstances
would seem improbable.
is to be remembered that member who voted for the
Keino amendment is one who twelve hours before stated
that the school bill would be killed. How he do it by
means Of such change in the measure rather difficult to
determine but it to be hoped that the enemies of the bill
will not find enough supporters in the Senate to allow of
blockade in conference which is now the last hope OF the
opponents who would use the fate Of the school children
for trading purposes.

Heaven has not yet uttered its last
word to men. Inspiration Is not
ancient history. Gods Bible is being
written every day, so that the teacher
of today does not look for the word
of God only among the blurred rec
ords of the past. There Is no finality
in Gods education of the world But
the message must be for the heart
as well as for the head. A preaching
that appeals only to the intellect can
never meet the deepest human needs.
The one great demand of the age is
not a ministry that seeks to specu-
late on abstruse subjects, but a min
istry that will give ideal visions of
life, high conceptions of morality,
sublime forecasts of destiny, and u
deepening sense of the divine pres
ence.
To weary business men it is no
use attempting to preach to them
philosophy, or to descant upon theol-
ogy. They want helpful guidance in
the solution of their business diff
culties, some word of inspiration that
will enable them to deal equitably
with those in their employ, some as
surance of sympathy with them in the
struggles and conflicts of their every
day life Sanctity of heart and life is
