pointed to name the greatest living
statesman and the greatest statesman
who has passed away, named John
Sharp Williams among the former and
L. Q C. Lamar among the latter. As
to Mr. Williams there seems to be no
disagreement with the committee se-
lection, but the naming of Lamar as
the greatest among the dead has been
challenged, and over against him has
been placed the name of Jefferson Da-
vis. The Houston Post in discussing
the subject says:

Unemotional men, whose temper or ।
training has made them intensely prac- :
tical, find it impossible to shake off
the sadness of spirit which the great
struggle has produced. Mankind is
bewildered by the woe that has be-

fares it with us, who are not within
the zone of battle?
Alike across the vision of the rich

carries his dinner pail to work in the
morning, the merchant at his desk,
the woman in her home performing
her household tasks, the traveler on
the train, the sportsman, fishing rod

against death. the bravest and the
best of Europe pouring out their life

minds distorted by terror and the
agony of wounds, cursing, sweating,

That question has traveled into Ala-
bama and ia disturbing the sanctums.
The Birmingham Ledger says it is
one who votes the ticket.
The Mobil# Register says that does j
not get us anywhere
And the Register is right.
The best concrete illustration is the
election as congressman-at-large of
Jeff : McLemore and “Cyclone” Davis.
McLemore is the direct opposite of
Davis.
Davis is the direct opposite of Mc-
Lemore.
McLemore got his democracy from
Isham G. Harris and L. Q. C. Lamar
and Ben Hill and Roger Q. Mills and
John G. Carlisle.
Davis got his democracy from Gen-
eral Weaver and Governor St. John,
and he was a leading light in the or-
ganization of the People’s party that
Tom Watson persists in trying to keep
alive, if we mistake not.
Between these two schools of
thought is a gulf even wider than that
which separates Dives and Lazarus.
And yet the Texas democracy in
the same election chose these two men
—McLemore and Davis—to go up to
Washington as its representatives.
Davis will vote for nation wide pro-
hibition.
McLemore will vote against nation-
wide prohibition.
Davis, if he gets a chance, will vote
for flat money.
McLemore will be against fiat
money.
And so it will be from start to fin-
ish; the two men will likely never
agree save in the drawing of their
pay for services rendered the govern-
ment.
If theirs were an isolated case, we
might treat it as a good joke and let
it pass.
But it is fairly typical of what is
taking place all over the State in each
election.
Our Bob wants Our Sam to meet
him in debate over radical differences.
Is it .supposable that two Presby-
terian preachers are going to be out
debating with each other on the fun-
damentals of the faith?
Why, such a discussion would imply
that one or the other wasn't a Presby-
terian.
If ve mistake not, omhe Charles Au-
gustus Briggs was driven out of the
Presbyterian Church .because he no
longer accepted Presbyterian stand-
ards.
But our trouble here in Texas is
that the governing political party has
no standard*; it is attempting to be
all things to all men.
And what is the resultt
Why, legislation that ia as confusing

cept where such city or town may,
by an ordinance or by law, allow a
"treater rate of speed; provided, the
« speed limit shall not apply to race
