The statistical portion of the report
of the Comptroller has been completed
in detail. Ae revised. It shows a tax-
able valuation of 91,111,710,060 for ths
roar 1111, an increase of 917,077,301. It
has heretofore been indicated that first
returns indicated a decrease rather than
an increase.
It is figured that the tax collection
on the ad valorem rat* of 10 cents per
9100 valuation for state purposes will
bring 91.111.3M> * ecrease of 1111,171
below th* yield of lest year, when th*
rat* was 12% cents.
Th* yield from the echool tax rate
of 10 1-3 cents per 9100 valuation is
figured at $4,221,171, an increase of
$29,328 over the last year's figures.
The amount that the school fund gets
from poll taxes is placed at $678,168--
an increase of 91411.
From the total taxes collected by the
Stat*, ad valorem, schoo} and poll, it is
estimated that the yield should be
$7,770,982 for the year. This is a de-
crease of $570,142 as compared with
the tax estimate on the 1911 valuation.
Th* tabi* shows a large increase in
realty values; decrease in value of
horses and mules with increase in num-
ber*; decrease in number of cattle,
with increase in value; increase in
sheep, with decrees* In value; Increase
in goats with decrease in value: de-
erease In hogs and decrease in value;
decrease in bank money, decrease in
deposits of banks and many other sta-
tistics of interest. The report follows:

risive smile from every one who favors
a reasonable enforcement of the crim-

original sin. Th* same church also
declares that Mary was a virgin before
the birth of Christ, at th* birth of
Christ and after the birth of Christ.
Evidently, then, the highest prarog-
ative of Mary and her greatest glory
was her sinlessness, her purity. Hence,
on a day like this, the commemora-
tion of the promulgation of th* dogma
of the Immaculate Conception, our
chiefest thought should concern the ac-
quiring or perfecting of that virtue
which stamped Mary with the beauty
of Christ-like character.
/ An undeflled heart is the glory of
the Lord of Hosts and the dwelling
place of the Holy Spirit. It was a
pagan—Senaca—who said: "Nor does
virtue dwell upon the tips of th*
tongue, but In th* temple of a puri-
fied heart." Truly said and well said.
Virtue, however, can not long remain
hidden; it must shine forth like a light
in th* mld*t of darkness; somehow, tes-
timony must be given that there I* a
light within, though. Indeed, vice may
bo. to a certain egree. concealed. The
world's poet admits this when he says:
"Angels are bright still, though the
brightest fell;
Though all things foul would bear the
brows of grace, t
Tot grace must still look 5o." •
The Catholic Church. In Mary, has
elevated the dignity of woman, has
placed woman in the position that by
right belongs to pur* maidenhood and
to true motherhood. It is of true man-
hood to worship at th* shrine of
woman’s purity, and it is of true wom-
anhood to aceept of no other homage
than this. This is the lesson of the
hour, the need of the hour This is
the example given by Mary—maid and
mother — th* Immaculate Conception:
“Thou art all fair and there is not a
spot in Thee."
nov. Father William 3. Marr, rector
of St, Mary’a aholie hurch, preached
th* **rmpn at the High Mas yester-
day to a largo congregation. He spoke
on “Th* Impnaculate Conception" and
from th* tox “Thou art all fair and
thepe is not a spot in Thee." (G of C,

Ivory, House of Gold; whll* other of
her titles ars th* plain expresslon of
her. real and true salt, as Mother of
Chrlst, Mother of Mercy, Mary Immac-
ulate, or th* Immaculate Conception.
This last title is a consequence of that
of Mother of Christ
When w* speak of Mary’s Immacu-
lets Conception, we mean that graoe
and privilege which was granted her
by God in view of ths merits of Jesus
Christ, by which she was concelved
without th* least stain of original sin.
All mankind, with this single exception
of Mary, have contracted, at the mo-
ment of conception, the guilt of orig-
inal sin. Original ein in degree of guilt
is mortal, and hence precludes the vi-
sion of God, though it is not punish-
able with ths punishment of hell, be-
cause it does not proceed from a per-
sonal act. To be stained by original
sin, however, is to be under th* rower
of evil; but Mary was never for a
moment under such power. This is an
article of faith. This momentous defi-
nition, given out by Pius IX on the
Sth of December in the year 1834, was
not the result of a few weeke in sol-
•mn council: It was rather the public
and explicit expression of a doctrine
whose strong traditions take us back
to the first centuries of Christianity.
This grand doctrine, therefore. Is some-
in moving for a new trial or securing
a reversal on appeal he has all to win
and nothing to los. Repeal the above
statute and the defendant will hesitate
to appeal or move for a new trial where
the testimony is strong against him
and the chancqs favorable, on another
trial, for convietion of a higher grade
of crime I am only contending for
even handed Justice between the com-
monwealth and the law breaker.
It is contended by oom* that the
changes I suggest In this and the ar-
ticle of lent week ought not to be made
Because there are some few very one-
sided. partial judges and they would
become practical tyrants on the bench.
That possible contingency can easily
be safeguarded by the enactment of
a law to this effect if the defend-
ant files his affidavit to the effect
that he belleves th* judge to be proju-
diced against him, or for any other
reason ho doe* not belleve that he can
obtain a fair and Impartial trial be-
for* *uoh judge, let that be sufficient
to disqualify the judge from trying the
came, and let It be tried before another
judge. Let the judge have no discre-
tion about it but let him stand abso-
lutely dlsqaallHed to try that case
when such affidavit is filed. I belleve

winter twice Its present welght Many
thin sows, also, ar* sent to th* yards;
these, too, should be fattened, in view
of th* present shortage. Because of
th* number of pigs and thin sows now
on th* market, th* average October
quality ha* not been maintained. Th*
East is getting heavy receipts of
trashy stuff, but has to come West for
prim* hogs, thus strengthening th* al-
ready strong demand for finished hogs
of any weighL
"Supplles on the shelves of th* mid-
dleman from the large paeker to th*
small retailor have dwindled to almost
nothing, thus making the daily market
receipts practically th* sole supply.
This oonition create* an aotive mar-
ket, but on* full of fluetatons. Th*
shortage has become general and ther*
seems to be so outlook for improve-
ment until the winter run makes its
appearance, which is prophesied not to
appear until after the holidays in
the meantime value* will advance and
a 919 market is probable. At pres-
ent there are not enough swine to go
round among the buyers, espeqlally
finished hog. This has worked the
prices up till they about equal those
of two years ago. They can be ex-
pected to remain so until the holidays.”
lutely the case could and should have
been affirmed at the very flrot appeal
because the record furnished indisput-
able evidence of guilt. This case was
held in the courts for eight years under
our technical system of court proced-
ur«, and no doubt cost the State and
Dallas County more money than would
have been required to purchase fifty
negroes, equally ae valuable as Gates,
in the days of slavery.
Article 793. Code of Criminal Pro-
cedure (1311) hs another statue which
has perhaps cost the State so much,
if not more money in the way of ap-
peala and reversals, than any other
article of the code. It reads as follows:
“If a defsndant, prosecuted for an of-
fense which includes within It lesser
degress, be convicted of an offense
lower than that for which he is In-
dicted, and a new trial be granted
him, or the judgment be arrested for
any cause other than want of juri-
diction, th* verdict upon the first trial
shall be considered an acquittal of the
higher offense, but he may, upon the
second trial, be convicted of the same
offens* of which he was before con-
victed. or any other inferior thereto.”
Can any sensible and just reason be
offered in support of this law? If
a man be tried for murder and is con-
victed of murder in the second degree
or manslaughter, do not deny him the
rogatye; “Hall, full of Go4. tWo Lord
Is with Thee Blessed ars thou among
womeh." And, as though we were not
yet convineed, the church insists upon
our listening to the Virgin’s own testi-
moneyi "My soul doth magnify th*
Lord, and my spirit hath rejolced in
God my Savlour, for behold, hendeforth
all genertlons shall call me blessed.*
As further testimony t^r the fact of
the Immaculate Conceptlon, tho church
also points to the accumulative evidence
of centuries, to the attitude of her
saints and sagos, fathers and doctors
whose grandest pages sparkle with
the bright eulogies of "the church's
Diadem,” ths “Sacred Shrine of Binless-
ness," the "Unsullied Shell That Con-
tains th* Pearl of Price"—such in their
eyes wtis the Virgin of Nazareth.
Truly and obviously, Mary's Immac-
ulate Conception is simply the result
of the eternal fitness of things. Con-
older the Virgin's relation to Christ
her Son; examine the meaning of the
words, "Mother of God," and see for
yourself if Mary’s Immaculate Concep-
tion was not a necessary consequence
of her share in the world’s redemp-

and applicable to every issue raised by

up where wo left off in the above com-
munication let us continue tho discus-
sion a little further.
Article 837. Code Criminal Procedure
(1911) saya: "Now trlals, in cases of
felony, shall (not may), be granted for
the following causes, and for no other,"
and nine grounds or subdivislons are
set out, but I shall only discuss the
second subdivision which reads as fol-
lows! “Whore the court has misdirect-
ed tae jury as to the law, or has com-
mitted any other material error calcu-
lated to injure the rights of the de-
fondant." According to this statute
if "the court has misdirected the jury
as to the law," a new trial "shall be
granted,” notwithstanding tho record
may fully show the defendant’s guilt,
beyond a reasonable doubt, and that no
other reasonable and righteous verdict
could have boon rendered. Under this
statute many reversals of oonvlctlons
have boon granted by tho appellate
court, and the guilty parties obtained
acquittals at the next trial, for it is
safe to say that in three out of every
four reversals the defendant is acquit-
ted at his second trial. Why should a
new trial bo granted when justice has,
already boon done? If I start to Fort
Worth, Dallas or any other place it
matters not what route or the mode
of travel I use in making the trip.
When I get there I am there. Just so
it should be in the trial of a case. If

vinced that she means IL eho and all

That it is one woman’s opinion, and
that she Ib in holding this opinion, one
woman in a thousand, are facts that
will not weigh against that prited
utterance. Moot of us, leading i wd-
ed lives, run while we read, a the

obvious. The speech will confirm
