Judge Harlan was not only one of the ablest and
most fearless judges in the history of the Supreme
Court, but he was par excellence the great pro-
gressive judge, the stalwart defensor of the rights
of the American people against the encroachments
of special interests, and they can have no better
voucher than this for their unremitting confidence
in the law department of their Government under
its present head.
The Wilson Cabinet is a great Cabinet and a peo-
ple’s Cabinet. The more the people hear about it
the better they like it.
will be made on the size and general character of
the paper and it will continue in the future as in
the past to stand for Progressive Democracy and
for all political, civic and moral reform. Not in
a single iota will it lower its standard and in the
coming campaigns it will be in the forefront advo-
cating its policy with all the enthusiasm and fire of
its history. No doubt but that Col. Harris and his
sort of politicians would love to see Home and
State pass out of existence. Such a turn in affairs
would make their poor old hearts stand up and clap
their cockles and rejoice. But long after the Col.
and his followers have been forgotten, Home and
State will be on deck of the old ship helping to
steer her in the right direction. As to Dr. Rankin,
it is a well-known fact that he has not been the re-
sponsible head of the paper since the close of the
prohibition campaign in 1911, but his policy, so
long and so well established, has been maintained
and Home and State still stands where he placed
it in the beginning. And his ear-marks are still
visible. Whenever his help is needed he is not
far away and our editorial columns will never
cease to bound with his spirit and genius. So Col.
Harris need not regale his limited sphere of read-
ers with his ancient history and indulge in evil
prophecies concerning Home and State. The pa-
per has long since created its field of operation and
it will be cultivating full crops as the years go by.
It is our purpose to make out of it a weekly even
stronger and more vigorous and to put it as far as
possible in all Texas homes. It has a mission to
accomplish and its real work has just clearly be-
gun. On with the battle!
James B. McReynolds, Attorney General in Presi-
dent Wilson's Cabinet, who it was explained was
not very well known in that section. He replied
that he could think of no better way to comply with
this request than to repeat what had been said of
him on occasion by the late Justice John M. Harlan
of the United States Supreme Court.
He then related that on a Sunday morning some
years ago he met Judge Harlan in the lobby of a
New York hotel where he was waiting for Mr. Mc-
Reynolds, with whom he had an engagement to
attend the services of one of the prominent New
York churches of the Presbyterian denomination,
of which both Judge Harlan and Mr. McReynolds
were staunch members. Presently Mr. McReynolds
'entered the hotel and after greeting both gentle-
men excused himself for a moment and repaired to
a telephone booth; -whereupon Judge Harlan said to
the journalist, whom he had known since boyhood:
“Young man, during the many years that I have
been on the bench I have heard all the so-called
great lawyers of the day harangue the Court, but
among them all I have heard no one who, in my
opinion, has evidenced a firmer grasp or clearer con-
ception of the fundamental principles of the law or
a greater ability to correctly and forcefully apply
them to the facts of a given case than that man Mc-
Reynolds,’’ and straightening himself to his full
height, he added with special emphasis, “And that
is not all, those great qualities are superimposed
upon conscience, young man, conscience.” This is
praise from Sir Hubert.
that an express car pushes its nose over our State
line with its interstate shipment of liquor to people
living in our dry counties, the Allison law will nab
the cargo and not one-fifth of a mile farther will it
be shipped into dry territory.
No, the Allison bill will not make the Webb law
protect the shipment of liquor, but it will take
charge of it whenever it enters dry territory. It
will that moment be subject to the Allison bill pen-
alty, and that means a heavy fine or a prison sen-
tence or both. Do you see the point? Before the
Allison bill was passed, the thirsty old antis could
get all they wanted in dry territory under the Webb
act, but not now, if it please your Honor.
COLONEL MOSE HARRIS FINDS A MARE’S
NEST.
OLONEL MOSE HARRIS, of the Texas Re-
public, imagines that he has found some-
thing; and in his last issue he proceeds to
give in detail the items of his discovery. When
summed up it is about this, that Home and State
has changed hands and that the object of the change
is to obliterate the institution and he predicts that
in the course of the year Home and State will cease
to exist. Well, Colonel Harris has unnecessarily
heated up his brainpan and therefore thrown off
sparks that expire with their scintillation. He is
a sort of a superannuated Republican politician,
long since without a job, and the old man has to
amuse himself with first one thing and then an-
other. He has no political following in Texas or
elsewhere 'and he has to do something to con-
vince the people that he is not politically dead,
though he may have to offend the olfactories of
Texas politics occasionally.
He will find out, however, if he does not already
know it, that Home and State is at the same old
stand doing business and that its subscription list

THE ALLISON LIQUOR BILL.
( OME of our exchanges are bewailing the fact
• that since the Webb bill recently passed by
Congress putting the interstate shipment of
liquor under the control of the laws in dry terri-
tory, carries no penalty with it, that the Allison
intra-state liquor law, prohibiting any Texas liquor
house from shipping liquor from a wet section into
a dry section, will drive lots of money out of Texas.
It is taken for granted that some people in dry ter-
ritory must have liquor and if they can not get it
from Dallas, or Fort Worth, or Wichita Falls, or
some other wet center, on account of the Allison
law, they will get it sent to them from the out-
side under the Webb law.
But there is where they are mistaken. Since
the Webb law makes the intershipment of liquors
subject to the State laws the moment they pass
from a wet State into a dry State, the very moment
