4 VOTE FOR TEXAS
Dallas Journal

Dallas Journal;
The Evening journal believes that
a vote at the November elections In
favor of the proposed Constitutional
amendment, providing for increased
pny to members Of the Texas l.egls.
lature. will be a vote for Texas. II
there has been any lack In the quail
ny OF the membership heretofore,
that lack has been occasioned In a
great degree by the niggardly remun-
Grafton which has been rendered the
members for their services. Under the
plan which has prevailed for years
few men, other than patriots Of leis-
ure and means would feel prompted
to serve as members OF the states
law-making body nj q financial sacri-
fee Their chief compensation has
been in the form Of rratuitlous and
generous criticism. Il g. folly to mini
mlze the importance OF the Lcgsla-
ture. The State has suffered through
such folly. And It Is time to further
steps which will assure a gradual and
certain improvement of the personnel
Of the Legislature. This may best be
done by authorizing more adequate
payment to It's moslbers The propo-
sltlon seems clear Better pay, bet
ter makers. better laws. II Texas
wants the two last named, she should
eroyide for the nrit.

History of a Newspaper.

II would be difficult to find a paper
with a more romantic history than La
Gazette de Hollande. In the seven
tenth and eighteenth centuries states
men of the first rank were her con-
tributors-Lord Chesterfield and Fred
erick the Great king of Prussia, to
name but two of an illustrious roll.
During the war of independence Wash
ington sought the sympathy of Europe
through it's columns. In 1910 it was
temporarily suppressed by Napoleon.
In its modern form La Gazette has
accomplished good work in making
the Netherlands and her colonies bet
ter known beyond their own boundar-
les An English section has now been
added with the object of appealing di-
directly to the understanding of Eng
disappearing peoples, and it is OBJ
vious that the paper has a special in
terest for America While not neglect
ing the historical and artistic inter
ests of the Netherlands La Gazette
brings prominently before its readers
the commerce, shipping and agricul-
ture of modern Holland and her col
onies The latter are specially inter-
esting now and deserve the atten-
ton of business circles in America.
The Dutch possessions in the East
are teeming with natural resources
and are coming rapidly to the front,
while those of the West are benefit
ting from American activities at Pa
mama. Their economical and COM
mercial progress are dealt with in a
bright, attractive way by La Gazette,
Moreover the varied phases of the
great international movement which
centres in the Palace of Peace at the
Hague in which many people here
take a lively interest, also receive at
tention.-Springfeld Republican

The work of installing the vestibules
in the entrances of the federal build
ing to take the place of the "whirli-
gig doors which have heretofore done
duty there is well along on the vesti-
bule at the south entrance of the build
ing and will soon be completed. The
vestibule is built of oak finished in
its natural color, 6xs on the floor and
around the base runs a marble slab
10 inches in height. At the east side
Of the vestibule will be three plate
glass panels, While at the north and
south sides are the doors and a panel
of plate glass. The street entrance of
the vestibule also includes two doors,
all of the doors having plate glass pan
els. The door entering the vestibule
from the north side of the corridor
bears on its outside on a brass plate
the word Push" while that on the
south side is equipped with handle
and bears on a plate similar to that
OH the other door the word Pull The
street doors are arranged in the same
manner Anyone entering the build
ing from the street is supposed to use'
the south door of the entrance and on
entering the vestibule pass to the
corridor by the south side of that
structure using the door which bears
the plate saying Pull" On leaving
the corridor they are to enter the YES
thule by the north door bearing the
Push" sign. and then pass from there
to the street by way of the north door
of the entrance. 1t is expected that
there will be some confusion when the
vestibules come into use but the peo-
Pile will probably get used to them
after awhile.

Rickford. the defendant in the cas-

Bickford, the defendant in the case
vas first to testify. WITNESS went on
to relate in the first sof his testimony
substantially the same facts as Attor-
ney Peacock had given in his OPEN
ing.
Witness stated that he paid Smith
SIS and that the trade was made. 1t
was but about four days when Smith
came back and told him he shouldn't
trade that the horse he (Bickford)
had exchanged with him had "brok-
en- back Witness asked him If he
wanted his $40 and if he did, he
eBickford) would go to Fred |.
Browns store and get it for him. Ac-
eording to witness Smith did not ask
him for the $40 but demanded his
horse back. Witness refused to DO
this and forbid Smith from going near
his barn.
According to witness Miss Fan"
Pease was with Smith when the argu-
ment took place, and she told him
(witness) that if he refused to trade
back he was a dishonest man.
Smith told witness that he must
trade back, that was all there was to
it. Witness testified that Smith
never asked him for the $50, but as
soon as he found out that witness
would not give him back his horse he
had writ of repleyin served on MN
and the horse was taken away by
Sheriff McCausland.
ATTORNEY Carleton cross examined
at some length during which lively
argument took place Witness could
remember positively that it was July
10 that he traded as he fixed the date
by the days that he worked on the
road.
Mrs. Lowanna Bickford, wife or oe-
PENDANT, took the stand.
Your name is Lowanna Bickford,
asked Mr.. Peacock. Il expect 1t is"
Witness corroborated briefly her hus-
bands testimony.
When cross examined by Attorney
Carleton witness was asked the date
of the trade, and she replied July
18th.
How do you know it WASP"
Because l had parrot that died
on that day and l set it down in
Maine Farmers Almanac"
You say it was the 18th of July?'
Eyes sir, that's the day Polly died
and that's the day they traded horses
Fremont Hunton took the stand ana
testified as to seeing Bickford pass
Smith IS when the trade was made
and also heard Bickford say. L Will
pay you the balance when get my
pay on the road"
A recess was taken for 10 minutes
At the conclusion of the recess At
torney Carleton called Miss Fannie
Pease in rebuttal and asked her II
she had any interest in the horse that
Smith traded with Bickford and she
replied. that she had none whatever
Smith, the plaintiff, was called also,
and questioned briefly. Witness stat
ed that he went to the postofflce con-
tinually for the money that Bickford
had agreed to send but never received
it.
Counsel for both sides argued forci-
bly, and Judge Bean delivered his
charge. The case went to the jury
and after q few minutes deliberation
a verdict for the defendant was re-
turned.
