SHEPPARD.

That was a good democratic speech
made by Morris Sheppard before the
Texas legislature Wednesday. Not only
a good speech, but thoroughly progress
sive in all good meanings of the term. IT
indicates a democracy that stands for
the highest and cleanest ideals of the
people of Texas.
He holds that the great body to which
he has been elected, first by the people.
and second by the peoples representa-
tives, should be a mirror of the peoples
interests, and should promote the wei
fare OF the people as a whole"
All this has been said before? Doubt
less. Any common %demagogue could SAY
these things? True. Yet whether ut
tered by honest men or demagogues, they
are truths that lie close to the conscious
ness of the people. There are always
men in public life, thank goodness, who
not only utter them, but mean them
men like Culberson and Sheppard-like
many other good and true democrats
who have represented Texas in the sen
ate.
The people of Texas believe that Shep
pard not only means what he says, but
that he has the courage to say what he
means in the nations congress.
The democrats of the country need not
conceal from themselves the fact that
they now stand face to face with the
issues of life and death, politically. The
fight fffr the great principles of democ
racy, is an ~age-lOng fight. 1t is as ola
as the oldest struggle of the manN
against the few, of the right of the
masses against special privilege. In our
country it is as old as the advent of our
race in America.
1t is nut ended by the election of VIII
son to the presidency and the return of
the democrats to power. The enemeis of
democracy are not dead, and they have
not surrendered. They never were more
alert, more firm of purpose han now
We prOfit-we may profit, if heaven
gives us the wisdom to do so-by their
divided cOunsels. Yet we must no be
divided ourselves. We have a leader,
and if he is to lead us to any purpose we
must surround him with men who are
as loyal as he is to all the high ideals
of democracy.
Therefore, we need men like Sheppard
in the senate. His political record is
stainless, and he has distinguished him
self by fighting for cleanness in social
and political life. He is the enemy of
all things that are hurtful in our civil
are helpful.
Also, for every reason by which we eX-
pect him to be loyal to the great ideals
Of democracy, by which We expect him
to be true to the program of our party,
we should be loyal to him. nj

The Watson bill making it a misdc-
to buy whiskey in a saloon, has been
killed in committee. This should have
been entitled a bill to protect retail
liquor dealers from the consequences Of
selling liquor to minors. 1t is easy to
see that the parents or guardians of a
boy under age could not safely prosecute
the man who unlawfully sold him liquor.

A Jury finding has been reversed by
one of the courts of civil appeals because
the iurymen practically tried the case
among themselves. One told how much
a case of trephining cost, and another re-
lated the experiences of a relative in a
bospital. 1t was hard to say on what
+bey based their verdict. This suggests
an interesting question: What do the
;prors talk about in the jury room, any
how? But perhaps it is better not to
nush that inquiry too far.

These are busy days for the London

Judge Mack of the federal court has
lust ruled that the word "lie" may be
used when justified by the facts in the
case. Good enough law, as far as that
goes, but here in Texas the use of the
