Is the present time not an ideal time to test the character and patriotism of a Roman Catholic President?

In his speech on the answering Senator Heflin's regrettable and un- warranted attack upon Gov.. Smith, Senator Rob- inson made fine answer to the fiery Ala- baman, saying I do not believe in excluding a can- didate on account of religion, nor do I believe in nominating a man on account of his religion. I believe, Mr. sident, that one man who is a Cath- olic has just as much right to apply for the favor of his party asociates as one who is a Methodist or a Baptist, and T believe that when you deny that you deny a fundamental principle Government .

There has been fow more pleturesque the history of the West than this fearl namic frontier statesman. He belongad to the school of George Rogers Clark and Daniel Booue and the pioneers of the old Southwest who slored and opened up the country, fought for it, helped prepare it for Civilization.

Governor Houston fell afoul of one ‘nt‘ the canong of backwoods custom by leaving {his newly married wife without explanation. The incident wq turned " against him by his political enewmies, and like so ;many other pio- neers he crgssed the Mississippi inte the rougher reglon ‘of Arkansas, whete fewet, ,questions, were asked and where his frontiersman’s sense of per- sonal liberty could find freer Yein. After a brief interval of wandering he crossed the Spanish frontier and at once plunged into the politics of the incipient Texan Republic. His prestige as former Governor of Tennessee naturally made him a prominent figure in the constitutional conventions and his experience in the War of 1812 Jod to his being named Commander-in-Chief of the Texan forces. The death of many of his old friends like Crockett and Bowie at the Alamo in March, 1836, drove him to vigorous efforts to defeat the Mexi- cans. A quarrel with the civil authorities of Texas led to his temporary withdrawal, but so great was his popularity that when an election for President of Texas was held a few months later he won overwhelmingly after a campaign of only twtlve days. From 1836 onward he was the leading figure in Texas, and, true to his instinct for union, was the chief proponent of annexation to the United States. This was finally achieved in 1845, and the next Spring Houston entered the United States Senate, in which he served until 1859, when he became Governor of the State of which he had once been President. The old breed is rare in modern America. |Even Texas and the Southwest, which, after all, are nearer to the days of the old frontier than the rest of the countr today produce a more sophisticated type of leader. The backwoods school was harsh. But at ifs best it bred men like Houston, Jackson, . Benton and Brigham Young, who had vision and who did not hesitate to undertake imperial tasks. Theirs was the spirit best expressed in the word ‘gumption.” Democrats, they were yet autocrats. Essentially men of the people, they were yet born leaders. Self-made men, they helpd make an empire. Of them all Houston was one of the greatest. Our Greatest Mistake? (Medical Times.) .
