Austin, Tsxjfi, Jah. 27:—Fol-
lowing is Mr. Aryan’s speech in
Representative hall'.
Gentlemen of the .legislature : It
affords me a great deal of pleasure
to visit thh state of Texas and ad
ditional gratification to be able to
visit your capitol and legislative
body.. When l storied out in' life
it wap in the practice of law—when
.1 was attempting to Diace the
proper construction of Ml the laws
that had beeh passed. And then
circam&t&noee made it possible for
me to cuter a legislative body and
take part in the making of laW$.

think, mope of. knowledge and* of
general information to-bo able to

- to regard the legislative body,
whether it be of the city, county
or of the state or the nation, as of
- the highest importance. ‘ /
Upon the legislative body rests
the responsibility of making all
the laws,- I know that there are
some who think “be it enacted” is

■■ Those of juu who- have ever

the government. Those of Von
who have.ever attacked entrenched
privileges have found that those in

shielded themselves behind govern-
ment itself And set their particular
privileges by the side of law and
order. I believe that the best
friend of government is the man

every government is the man who
