and the mandate of that court is now
on file with the clerk of this court.
It is therefore the order and judg-
ment of this court in accordance with
the verdict of the jury that you be
conveyed to the penitentiary of this
state at -Huntsville, Walker County,
Texas, and after the hour of 12 o’clock
midnight and before sunrise of the
7th day of August, A. D. 1925, within
the walls of said penitentiary and in
the room prepared for the execution
of prisoners; there shall be caused to
pass through your body a current of
•iectricity of sufficient intensity to
cause death, and such current shall
be continued to be applied and con-
tinued to pass through your body un-
til you are dead.”
After the sentence, Gray said,
“There is one thing I would like to
ask, and that is that you will ask the
Grand Jury to make an investigation
of John Dillard being on the jury
that convicted me, as I have written
to you about some time ago.” Judge
Wilkinson told him he would bring
this to the attention of the Grand
Jury.
The prisoner then had a short talk
With the Judge and Sheriff Marshall
of Dallas, while the commitment pap-
ers were being arranged, and then all
filed out of the court room. The
party from Dallas ate dinner here
and then left afterwards far Hunts-
ville, where the prisoner will be
turned over to the warden at once.
Except for a slight pallor, the pris-
oner appeared to be in the best of
health, and he went through the or-
deal of the sentence without tremor,
not showing a trace of nervousness,
except a clasping of his hands, which

Miss Villa Page, the “advanced” lec-

York:
“The marriage of a rich old man
and a beautiful young girl would of-
ten be Tiappy were it not for the re-
marks of friends—so-called,
“A rick old banker married a beau-
tiful chorus girl of 17. On his return,
all aglow with happiness, from his
honeymoon, he said to his sister-in-
law:
“ ‘What do you think of my wife?
Isn’t she ravishing?”
“ ‘Ravishing!’ said the sister-in-
law. ‘Stunning. With those blue
eyes and that pale gold hair, what a
widow she’s going to make!” ’

The National Industrial Conference
Board has been checking up on the
workings of our new 2 per cent quota
immigration law during the ten
months it has been in effect. Neces-
sarily it gathered the facts it reports
at the immigration stations, and
since it makes no account of that il-
licit immigration which eludes the
stations, obviously they do not make
a complete manifest of the opera-
tions of the statute. Yet what it re-
ports' is interesting and doubtless ap-
proximates the facts sufficiently to
attribute some value to the sugges-
tions it makes.
It reports that during the ten
months from July, 1924, when the law
became effective, to April, 1925, in-
clusive, a total of 242,965 foreigners
were admitted. During the same pe-
riod of the year before the total was
637,602. The reduction is equivalent
to 62 per cent. The departures for
the same two periods were, respect-
ively 78,578 and 63,324. It was gen-
erally supposed that the greater dif-
ficulty which the law presented to
tl ose desiring to get into the country
would have he effect of diminishing
the departures of those already here.
That expectation has not been ful-
filled.
As to the classes of immigrants
making up the total of 215,965 for
the ten months ending with last Ap-
ril, the report shows that 13,352 reg-
istered themselves as farm laborers,
as against departures of 1,232 of tne
same class. Skilled laborers enter-
ing during the ten months ending
with April last numbered 41,716 and
unskilled laborers 27,809. Profes-
sional persons numbered 8,809, while
those of miscellaneous occupations
numbered 40,204. Those of no occu-
pation, which includes women and
children, totaled 98,927.
A particularly noteworthy item in
the report is that the departures of
unskilled laborers during the year
exceeded the number of admissions of
such laborers by 16,482. However,
the law is not applicable to Mexico,
and it is not unlikely that the num-
ber of unskilled laborers coming to
us from there is quite equal to the
reduction shown in the report of the
National Industrial Conference
Board. A further likelihood to be
taken into account is that most of the
European immigrants who smuggle
themselves into the country fall into
the category of unskilled laborers.
Yet, after liberal allowance is made
on those scores, the report must sug-
gest the question whether under the
operation of this law our accession of
unskilled labor will keep up with the
increase in the demand which must
result from the normal industrial
growth of the country.—Dallas News.

ENGLISH, THE WORLD
LANGUAGE
A German professor in a Berlin
language school, who is in the United
States on a visit, is quoted as mak-
ing- the rather remarkable admission
—for a German-—that there is no
need to invent for general or uni-
versal use a new language, since Eng-
lish already has taken that position.
Almost beyond question he is right
when he says that already the per-
son who speaks only English can get
along fairly well anywhere in the
world, as everywhere he will find
those who can understand him and
who can make themselves understood
by him. Once it was French that
had, or more or less closely approach-
ed, that position, but English almost
everywhere has superseded it as the
second language of everybody who
has a second language. This is the
world’s tribue to the strength, forth-
rightness and adaptability of the peo-
ple whose racial English is.
And English, though it has faults,
especially its atrociously bad spelling,
is well fitted, and better fitted than
any other, for the universal service,
because of its composite construction
and vocabulary. Having both a Lat-
in and a Teutonic half, the people of
many nations can find in it a large
number of familiar words. That :s
a great help in learning a new lan-
guage. Also English, though it has
an enormous vocabulary, and is hos-
pitable to words from any other lan-
guage that can show a fair right to
admission, has attained, without los-
ing delicacy of expression, a simpli-
city of grammatical construction
lacking in practically every other lan-
guage. The languages that conju-
gate their verbs and decline their
nouns elaborately arc forever doom-
ed to narrowly restricted usage.
They haven’t a chance in the world
to become universal or second lan-.
guage.
English, too, has a literature that
rewards the learner of it at least as
much as any other and far more than
any except two or three others now
“living.” Its spread over the world
does not need the acce’eration of
campaigns or propaganda. Its rec-
ognized merits are taking care that
the process of diffusion shall not be
rapid. There are some reasons for
regretting this, but more for rejoic-
ing over it, and the ultimate disap-
pearance of all except one language
is so far off that noboddy now alive
need worry about it.—Fort Worth
