'~-'~"' law creating the ranger
force was unconstitutional and en-
Joined that organization from further
activity. Recently Chief Justice w. S.
Fly Of the Court of Civil Appeals re-
versed the judgment of the District
court, set aside the injunction and
restored the rangers to their former
legal status. SO Texas is to keep her
rangers, perhaps the most famous
body Of law enforcement officials in
the world, not even excepting the
Canadian Mounted Police.
The Texas Rangers have been sub
ject to considerable criticism for the
last five or six years. They have been
accused of high-handed acts, including
OverZealOuS enforcement Of the pro-
hibitiOn laws, both federal and state,
and there has sprung up feeling in
some quarters that changed conditions
in the Texas Of today have made
their further existence unnecessary.
This sentiment finally crystallized in
a suit filed by citizen against the
ranger force which resulted in the Dis
trict court ruling and the injunction.
So for the first time in 90 years the
Texas Rangers were idle.
That was for only a short time,
however, for now they are back on the
job again. Their present number is
the lowest in the history of the organi-
zation, for a short time ago Gov. ma"
Ferguson, as a measure Of economy,
reduced the force from 81 to % men.
But that number is sufficient for all
practical purposes If you look at the
matter as some Texans do. 1t is
cherished belief down there that Mex
leo would not hesitate to make war on
the United States If 1t were not for
the Texans in general, and the Texas
Rangers In particular!
The history of the Texas Rangers
goes back to the earliest days of that
state, to the period when she had
won her independence from Mexico,
but had not yet been organized as the
Republic of Texas. The law creating
the ranger force was adopted by con-
ventiOn Of citizens at San Felipe de
Austin on October l, 1885, before the
constitution Of the republic was
framed, and this law was ratified at
the general council of the republic on
the following November IA. Gen. Sam
Houston, commander in chief of the
Texan forces, approved the law and
the enlistment of $50 men for frontier
patrol duty was authorized.
The subsequent constitutions-1845
and 1S61-proyided for ranger forces,
and during the Civil war their num-
bers were increased to 1000 to pro
tect the i'Yate from Indian raids and
to suppress lawlessness. Later Gen.
Richard Coke was authorized to re-
organize the rangers into companies of
not fewer than %, nor more than 70
members for each company in each
county troubled with hostile Indians
and Mexlcans provided the whole num-
Der did not exceed $50 men This law
became the ranger law Of today and
gave the governor authority to send
