 work on the subject, in which, it is charged, he ad-

 interest of Southern institut ion-. President \\"in- 

 ilso comes in for a share of blame. An address 

 at an alumni banquet at Dallas in March ha- the 

 following paragraph, which has been quoted against 

 him : 



- The < on-titutioti of our State seems to be made 



Bp mainly of prohibitions. It tofdon'ts. 



It is a sort of combination of the democratic idea 

 of everybody doing whai he pleases without inter- 

 ference fr ly, and the old carpet b. 



idea that the State should be protected from plun- 

 der by its public -ervant-. And the result is. that 

 we have a Constitution, and we have a machinery 

 of government in Te\a- which is the mo-t remark- 

 able ob-t ruction to progress that probably exists 

 anywhere."
