qualified voters provided they
get exemption certificates, which

Bartlett will pave her business

Some are congratulating Col-
quitt because in his reply to Bob
Henry he confined his argument
to less than 2800 words and made
at least one-third of these words
count for something. When the
final vote is counted and the tally
sheets are totatled the one who
polls more votes than Oscar B.
Colquitt is going to be mighty
close to the United States Sen-
ate. He can start a campaign
with a promise of doing less and
wind up with more votes than
any man in Texas today. Rich-
ardson Echo, ..
Because of misplaced judg-
ment in the matter of exercising
the suspended sentence law in
perhaps a few isolated case?,
there is being aroused a demand
op the part of a number of the
newspapers of the State that the
act be repealed. It is a measure
that will accomplish far more
good than harm to the cause of
humanity. There may be oc-
casional cases where, the well
meaning purpose of the law is
absurd by men who should be
benefitted by its favors, but
there are a vast number of other
instances where the convicted
men are saved a life of crime
by the honor and trust that are
imposed in them by the sus-
pended sentence act. Austin
