decided to build a six-storied Office

modern conveniences and that the
chosen building material should be Of

In harmony with the same spirit the

There were dozen business blocks

proportional number of dwellings

in the race toward completion, when
1t began to dawn upon the collective
consciousness Of a daily increasing

Mexican counseIs Neutrality.

San Antonio, Tex.-After lengthy
conference with Major General Funs-

consul general for the southwestern
part of the United States, announced
that he was preparing a proclamation
warning all Mexicans in his iurisdic-
ton to refrain from words or deeds
that might be construed as hostile to

MExICANS IN TEXAS
WILL Be PROTECTED
Governor of Texas Issues ProcIama'
ton to Mexican Residents of State
to Remain ReutraI.

Austin, Tex. Governor Ferguson
Monday issued a proclamation reassur-
ing the Mexicans residing in Texas the
protection of the state provided they
remain neutral and do not participate
in any demonstration or create a dis
turbance. The governor invites the
cooperation of all law-abiding Next
cans in keeping down any race hatred
and strife.
To Texas Mexicans: At this time
want to say word to citizens Of Mex
lean parentage residing permanently
or temporarily in Texas.
The state of Texas demands Of all
persons while in her borders absolute
obedience and respect to her laws and
constituted authorities.
If Texas Mexicans will aid by words
and deeds the various peace officers
in Texas to carry out this demand,
they need have no fear of bodily harm
and they will receive the protection of
our laws
If they do not in some manner show
their loyalty to the state and nation
they will bring trouble upon them
selves and many crimes will be COM
mitted which can not be prevented.
There are thousands of Mexicans in
Texas employed in many different oc-
equations. This employment will con-
tinue so long as Mexicans remain loyal
to Texas.
If these people were left alone there
would be little cause for alarm with
the Americans.
But, unfortunately, the prejudice Of
many Mexicans, which might other
wise remain loyal to Texas, has been
aroused by bandit leaders from Mexico
and feeling Of hatred exists along our
Texas borders, which should not be.
In the future when one of these ban
dit leaders from Mexico comes among
you and tries to tell you that the
Americans want to mistreat you, and
wants you to Join some secret move
ment report him at once to the first
officer you can get to. Report the
names of other Mexicans who are mix
ed up in the gang. Show that you are
loyal to this country, and, as governor
of Texas, | guarantee that you will
be protected from all harm. In addi-
ton to this will pay very liberal re-
ward in gold to any Mexican who will
furnish to the sheriffs and ranger cap
tains reliable information and names
of those who are seeking to arouse
the Mexicans of Texas to take up arms
against the Americans or to destroy
their property.
earnestly invite the help and CO.
operation of all law-abiding Mexicans
in keeping down any race hatred and
strife. If you do not want to confer
with the officers, write me direct at
Austin.
But the better plan is for the good
Mexicans to get in close relation with
the officers and show them that you
are loyal citizens, and there will be no
trouble in Texas.
l appeal to the Mexican press and
Mexican leaders to warn their people
against the strange Mexican who
comes to this country to stir up
trouble. By SO doing you can render
great service to your people, and
you will be the means of promoting
peace and good will between Texans
and Texas Mexicans.
Jas. E. Ferguson,
Governor of Texas.
