ATLANTA, C.a., April 15,—Clarence
Ousloy, editor of the Fort Worth (Tex.)
Record, was one of the principal speak-
ers at today's session of the Conference
for Education in the South, llo told of
conditions in Texas.
Mr. Ousley's Address.
Mr. Ousley spoko III part as follows:
"Texas, in common with other South-
em Slates, had been compelled by Hie
wreck and wasto of war to Hive one
whole generation, one-third of a cen-
tury of energy and aspiration, to tli«J
problem o( meat and bread.
No Sectional Feeling.
"I would desplso myself it In this
presence, or anywhere, out of passioij
or prejudice or maudlin sentiment, 1
should even unwittingly fan to flame
again the faintest spark of a section-
alism almost forgotten and wholly tor-
given, thank God, in the renewed fra-
ternity, the generous helpfulness and
the mutual concern lor the common
glory ot our common country in all
ita parts which tills blessed occasion
voices. But I would bo forced to con-
less in shame and humiliation an edu-
cational backwardness and sloth
amounting almost to crime upon tho
part of the South if I did not remind
myself and you that not indifference
but necessity, not a wanton truancy,
but the ball and chain of financial and
social distress, has hindered our pros-
ress; and that Is why we have limped
while cthor Slates have leaped In the
march of education. I must also re-
mind you that we have shared, share
and share alike, the small taxes we
have been able to pay, with tho chil-
dren of our one-tlmo sljyvr.-i. My Slate
nlorie gave to ita negroes who pay only
an inappreciable farthing of taxes, moro
than a million dollars a year for educn-
lion, besides the local taxes of cities and
school districts. And we repudiate the false
doctrine heard by misguided zealots that
the descendants of our black mammies
shall receive in education only what
they contribute in taxes. Wo do not
murmur that wa must bear the white
man's burden, but when the accounts of
our performance are cast up by ourselves
or our critics, we Insist that (he credits
as well as the debits be entered upon the
ledger. Consider not what we have done,
but what wo have done and the tools
with which we have wrought.
Texas Is no Longer Poor.
"Put while a full comprehension of our
conditions and a fair estimate of our
achievements will Justify and even glori-
fy tho educational status of the South,
it will not excuse us to offer such ex-
1 en u at ion as a continuing cause for
hindrance. We are no longer poor or dis-
tressed. Plenty smiles in every doorway
where thrift abides; opportunity beckons
to every willing hand and fortune waits
upon every exceptional effort. The land
Is waxing fat. Financially and Indus-
trially the South is beginning to reJolcc
us a strong man to run a race.
"Texas is already thrilling with the
red blood of a hew Intellectual birth, and
tho Commonwealth that In Its first estate
np a republic boasted tho greatest per-
centage of educated citizens of any or-
ganized society upon the earth dares
to enter upon the ambitious undertaking
of soon repenting that achievement among
the States of the Union. In two yea-.s
we have made twenty years of ordinary
educational progress, nnd In two years
mora T have reason to hope that we
shall do a.i well.
"A few years ago -we began to take
Hie measure of our educational stature.
Besides the besetments and hindrances
common to all Southern States, our peo-
ple suffered under a delusion innocently
but almost fatefully cultivated by our
holiday orators and immigration boomers.
The founders of the republic had dedi-
cated for public school purposes an em-
pire of land which constitutes the great-
est permanent school fund of any State
In the Union. By sales and leases Its In-
vestment reckoning has reaohed the val-
ue of more than $40.noo,non. and It Is far
short of Its final proportions. So rleh
an Inheritance naturally excited our pride
nnd became the theme of such boasting
that many ot our people had almost con-
cluded that no local taxation was neces-
sary. Put t.he Income from JM,00O,nnn was
a beggarlv maintenance for l.OOO.W
school children, and many years ago 't
was supplemented by a Stale educational
♦ax which yielded as much more. Still
that was far short of enough to maintain
schools for the minimum sly month*
reoiilred by constitutional mandate. The
cities and the Independent nr separately
constructed school districts under our
f.ystem all along had maintained excellent
public schools for eight to ten months
but until the new educational movement
energized and liberalized our peonle th»
ordinary rural sehool district did not
average five months. Even the common
school districts that desired to pav a
renerous local school tax were unable t>
do so, because our constitution nlacpd a
limitation of 2 cents on the >100 for local
school taxes In common school districts
This limitation nnon rural school taxa-
tion was one of the erueltles nf reaction-
ary statesmanship deemed necessarv by
the framers of our constitution of 1*75 as
r safeguard against the loot and corrun
tlon of reconstruction.
Outlines Educational Awakening.
In a comprehensive manner the speaker
then outlined the progress of the new
educational awakening which had taken
definite form early In 1907. It had re-
sulted, he said, In the establishment of
many new schools nnd In the extension
of educational advantages to all parts of
Texas. It had demonstrated, too, again
the wisdom and generosity of the people
! In all matters of public concern where
I they are properly Informed. He lndl»
I cated that In any Southern community
the cuusAof public education "Is certain
to encouiSer more or less opposition on
account of the mistaken notion that the
negro should not he educated or should
not be to much educated. He should be
educated according to his nature, his
needs and his destiny, which differ from
the nature, the needs and the destiny of
the white man as widely aa black differs
from white.
"The man who advocates or contem-
plates social equality Is a dangerous
sealot or a more dangerous demagogue."
However, "to strengthen the weak, to
encourage the downcast and to lift up
the lowly—these are the first concern of
organized social effort, and as far as
they may fall within constitutional limita-
tions they are the solemn duties of gov'
eminent."
After discussing the agricultural. In-
dustrial and social advantages of Texas,
applying his remarks so far as possible
to other Southern States, Mr. Ously said:
"It any peril threatens the Republic, It
lies not among the comfortable farmers
of our agricultural States, but among the
disinterested toilers of the manufacturing
centers. Why. up yonder. where they
grow so rich, it takes a million tollers to
make one multi-millionaire and a thou*

WASHINGTON, April 15. — Brilliant
spcechcs by men of International promi-
nence and tho greatest of good cheer
and the kindliest of human fellowship
were tho features which made the ban-
quet given here tonight in honor of Sec-
retary of State Knox and the members
of the governing hoard of the Interna-
tional Bureau of American Republics, and
John Barrett, director of tho bureau, one
of national and International significance.
Immediately after the drinking of a
toast to tho Presidents of the American
Republics, proposed by Director Barrett,
the large banquet hall was darkened and
to the sweet strains of music played by
the Marine Band from the National hymns
of each country, a light was thrown on
a scene at the end of the hall, display-
ing the country whose National hymn
was being played at the moment. The
effect was novel and provoked tremen-
dous applause.

HOUSTON, Tex., April 15. — At the
meeting Wednesday morning of Judge
Cllll, chairman of the State Penitentiary
Board; Colonel Hicks; Captain Herring,
Superintendent of Slate Penitentiaries;
R. H. Underwood, assistant superintend-
ent, and J. Haynes, financial agent. In
the office of Judge Gill, a plan to change
the route of the new Stale road Into Pal-
estine was authorized; the expenditure
of the anticipated appropriation lor tho
road and a proposed cotton mill was dis-
cussed and reports were heard concern-
ing the earnings and expenditures of the
road and of the experimental potato patch.
By the change In routing of the load,
tho tracks will be laid some 2(100 feet
south of the original survey, shortening
the distance into Palestine, and crossing
the International & Great Northern
tracks on grade Instead of on a slope, as
the former route called for.
This makes a much better route Into
Palestine station and considerably les-
sens the cost of the right of way for the
citizens.

"I11 tho old days we had here an

qUTHRIE, Okla., April 16.—Tho State
Board of Agriculture votrd 8 to 1, in
scKblon today at Stillwater, to make no
changes in its quarantine regulations af-
fecting Oaage County. Southern cattlemen
yesterday had asked the board to make
c< rtain changes.
Between fifty and sixty farmers ap-
peared before the board and urged that
Houthern cattle he admitted for this sea-
son at leaat, because of contracts that
have been inado. The opposition to the
general admission of Southern cattle
anked only that one of tho three town-
ships in Usage County he closed to
Southern cattle, thus admitting cattle to
two-thirds of tlio rariKes.
It was suggested by the board, in an-
nouncing that no change in regulations
would he made, that public sentiment, in
favoring the admission of Southern cat-
tle, could control the injunction suit filed ,
ut Pawhuska by County Attorney Rob-
erts against the railroad companies,
which will be heard at Pawhuska tomor-
row.
