THE UNITED STATES ARE.

Col. R. T. Miner, that grand old
commoner of East Texas, does not be-
lieve q little bit In the United States
being referred to in the singular num-
Der. The Colonel is states right man
to the core and for that reason Is not
willing that our Union should be con-
sidered In any other light except that
It is made up Of separate states, each
an Independent unit with its own
rights and privileges. The Colonel In
a recent issue Of the Rusk County
News says:
I'VE had a right to think that the
Houston Post would remain with us to
the last for state rights. In our zeal
to perpetuate the principles Of Jeffer.
son, Madison, Calhoun and all the II.
lustrious Democrats Of other days. we
have with profound regret witnessed
first this paper and that paper yield
up part Of the principle Of state
rights here and part there, until all
of them had departed except the
Houston Post And just the other
day we observed the Post referring
with approval to the United States In
the singular number. No, sir; no JEFF
fersonian ever said this United
States or that United States or
the United States Is An advocate Of
state rights referring to these United
States in the singular number Is q
mockery. In all reputable political
literature pertaining to these United
States ever written, up to few y,ars
ago, used the plural. II was decided
by the supreme court OF these United
States that our government is com
posed OF separate states with reser, ed
rights and, therefore the United
States are plural. and shonld never be
used in the singular nupibcr. II s all
right for Emperor William or King
George to say Enforcement and
I am II, the only fling. ordained aid
predestined from the beginning OF the
world to be the supreme ruler OF my
people, but no Democrat, no man who
believes in the doctrine OF jefferson.
Madison and Jackson can afford to
yield the last recognition Of the rights
Of the states by referring to them In
the singular number. The United
States are the government Of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people,
and each state under the constitution
has rights not delegated to these
United States"
