The Rights of Minorities

The Fort Worth Record prints a
splendid editorial In Mondays issue
In which II urges the sacred rights
of minorities. That is one of the
righteous principles Of American gov
eminent. The doctrine that ito the
victor belongs the spoils" is brutal.
II is pleasing to note that the
Record recognizes the rights Of mi
norties. The Record editor is
polished scholar and a strong writer
and could do much TO lead his read
ers TO a willingness 10 allow others
to differ with them in opinion with
out wanting to force them TO eat dirt
and beg for mercy. There was
time In a certain Fort Worth con-
yention and also later In a Calves
ton aggregation, as well as a gen
eral course OF political ostraclsm in
Texas when the Record would have
served It's country well, had II con-
tended then, as II is now doing that
minorltles have rights that should
be respected --T
