Catholics are making exten-

the first colony of Catholic
settlers from Maryland to

The court tie-up of the bale tags has been ended, but
the cane is interesting and worth remembering.
The ginners sought a relief from collecting the cot-
tax at considerable expense to them.
i The government retaliated by refusing the bale tags
and so tying up all the cotton.
They not only stopped the tags for cotton subject to
the tax against which Lite Sherman injunction was aim-
ed.
They also stopped the tags for cotton not subject to

ing of this first band of

tucky in 1785 marked the
beginning of the westward
progress of the Church from
the Eastern coast toward the
great Southwest, where the
Spanish padres had estab-
lished the faith about 200'
years earlier. The settlement
at Holy Cross was the first
permanent Catholic commun-
ity established west of the
Allegheny mountains by pion
eers from the East.

They knew that without tHe bale tags, cotton cannot
move and farmers must suffer more than ginners.*
But that fact did not interest the lords at
Washington.
The injunction protected the ginners only against
government prosecution for not collecting the cotton tax.
It did not prevent the government from issuing the
tax free bale tags. ,
The ginners were entirely within their rights in con-
testing a law on constitutional grounds and seeking re-
lief against unfair expenses.
The government wanted to punish ginners in an

Q. — Are we not saved
by faith? Is it not.sufficient
that we believe all that God
has 'revealed to obtain eter-
nal salvation?
A. — No; we must keep
His Commandments. Read
Matt. XIX. 17. ‘Not every-
one that saith to me, Lord,
shall enter into the king-
dom of Heaven; but He that
doth the will of my Father
who is in Heaven, he shall
enter into the kingdom of
Heaven’ (Matt. VII. 21).
Q. — How do you know
that the Catholic Bible is a
correct one?
«A. — One of the most
learned scholars of Hebrew,
Greek, Latin and the lan-
lawful way.
The action was arbitrary and dictatorial.
It seems, the government officials took an attitude
that the people should submit to a law regardless of
the Constitution.
Without Increasing The Cost
Writing on the Free Text Book Amendment, Rep-
resentative Chas. D. Rutta of Columbus says:
“This amendment would authorize the State Depart-
ment of Education to issue state adopted text books free
to every child of scholastic age attending any school with
in the State.. It would be optional both with the State
Board of Education to issue the books, and with the child-
ren attending schools other than public to accept' them.
“It will be noted that the number of text books
bought by the state is determined by adding 10% to the
maximum attendance in public schools. There is an an-
guages then^in'use St. Jer-I nual surPlus of text books on hand, and it is contemplat-
ome! visited the ’localities,1 ed that without increasing the cost of the text books to

<?ants» An~ip spread st once to arrange for an armis-
tice, but Houston demanded first that an order be given
at once for all the other Mexican troops to withdraw be-
yond the Colorado. That meant FiUsola with 1400 men
at Thompson’s Ferrv. Urrea with 3000 men at Brazoria,
Salas at Columbia, with 200, Col. Garcia with 100 men
at Harrisburg. Filisola heard the news two days after
the battle and began a retreat west immediately. Santa
Anna for his own safety, gave the order for retreat at
once.
Houston reported to President Burnet on April. 25th,
his actions since April 18th. In this he stated that the
Mexican loss was 630 killed, 24 of them officers; 208
wounded. 18 officers; 730 prisoners, including the presi-
dent and Gen. Cos. the wounded being included with the
prisoners; and about 40 escaped, making in all some 1,400 ) shocking the
men engaged. He reported also one cannon (loaded) cap-
tured. four stand of colors, all the camp eauipage, stores
and baggage, and gathered 600 muskets, 300 sabers, 200
pistols, several hundred mules and horses, and near $12,-
000 in Spicie.
When the news of San Jacinto spread like wild fire
over Texas, the turn in the feelings and actions of the
colonists is again hard to describe. The “runaway scrape’4
changed to ioyful return. In contrast with the former
dejection and horror, now “people embraced, laughed and
wept with joy and praved, expressing indescribable re-
joicing.” The news gradually stopped the emigrants near
and even bevoad the Sabine, and the volunters yet on
the way to help Texas.
Yet it took nearly a month for the news to reach
Washington. A message from General Gaines in Natch!-
toohps brought it directly to President Jackson, who was
really overjoyed by the note coming directly from his
friend, General Houston. The contagious joy spread to
all the high officials in Washington; even John Q. Adams,
the enemy of Texas in congress, called it “glorious news.”
But who was more glad than Stephan F. Austin and
W. H .Wharton to hear the news in New York. Now the
land that his father Moses intended to settle 16 years
ago for Spain by Anglo-Americans became a free land.
What a change for his and all colonists!
To vote for the amendment, you scratch the paragraph “Against”, am
you scratch the paragraph “For”.
Who can vote? All who paid their poll tax, or who were 21 between Ji
election day, and obtain their exemption certificate from the County Clerk;
prior Jan! 1, 1934, and therefore exempted from the poll tax. Also cripple
poll tax. _
