b the cam. The tremble we fed
with this decision is that, while
it ia no more than acant justice
to the press, it ia in direct oppo
aition to the rulings of the higher
courts and to the very law itself.
We fear it would not stand the
test of an appeal.
The libel law is the rankeat
injustice on the statute books of
our state, and the press should
unite in an effort to purge it from
their pages, never laying down
their arms for an instant until
tbe victory is won. There is no
one who can accomplish this but
ourselves, and we must do this
if we desire to ever have the
rights accorded us which are
guaranteed by the constitution.

Wokk for a decent libel law in
Texas, and don't work for any
candidate who will not pledge
himself to lend his aid toward
ridding us of the unjust gag-law
now in force.
Caldwell. Texa , Friday. Auguat 11.
This paper will not. here-
after. In any way lend its sup-
port to any candidate for
legislative honors who will
not bind himself to worH and
vote for a decent libel law and
a low providing for the adver-
tising in some newspaper of
all sheriff's sales. We ear-
nestly urge co-operation on
the part of our exchanges.
This notice will stand right
here till these laws are both
passed.
THE LIBEL LAW
A Post correspondent last week

to be the subject of numerous
debates on tbe street corners

close by admitting that all parties
know very little about the new
system, but must wait and see.

ican people should demand the
immediate extermination of the
pest by the government.

The appointment last week of
Hoa. J. P. Buchanan, of Breaban,
to aucceed W. K. May oard aa
diatrict attorney of the Slat jo-
dicial diatrict pleaaed his Bren-
bam friends immensely. He
will resign the county attorney-
ship next week at thc regular
meeting of the commissioners'
court, and it is thought that City
Attorney Pennington will then
be appointed to that office.
Mr. Buchanan is aman of ster-
ling merit and well qualified to
fill tbe office to which be has been
appointed, but our people are a
unit in thinking that burleson
has again been given the cold
shoulder, and are still of the opin-
ion that the office should have
been turned over to our efficient
county attorney. R. J. Alexander,
whom we all know to be in every
way competent to discharge all
the duties of that office most
creditably. However, there
probably will be more chances
in the future.
Attention, leathers.
Applicants for certificates at'
the coming county examination j
on tbe ISth and 19th will please
be on hand promptly at 8 o'clock '
Friday morning. Friday will be
devoted to the examination of
third-grade subjects.

A defective flue was the origin,

Some of our exchanges would
doubtless profit if less time and
attention was given imperialism !
and the money question, and ail
energies were devoted to obtain-
ing a law by the next legislature
which will define libel. Unless
someof the fraternity are contem-
plating a trip to the Philippines
or an investment in gold bearing
bonds, neither of the first ques-
tions are of one-half as much
concern to them as to secure a
libel law.
