someone say, "I hate ," and then mention the name of a person or a race, a religious sect or a political body, or a nation. If such people were honest with. themselves they would realize that the ground for their hatred is too often a disguised cowardice, a weakness in them selves.

Even in case of strong personal dislikes for individuals, if they were analyzed we would find that the person we think we hate has some quality of which, we ara jealous or which we are afraid might harm us.

On February 12th, we shall celebrate the birthday of one of America's greatest men — Abraham Lincoln. "Four score and seven years ago," Lincoln made a tiresome journey in a stuffy, slow-moving train to a small town in southern Pennsylvania. The next morning at the dedication of a military cemetery he made a few remarks appropriate to the occasion, followed by a two-hour-long main speech delivered by the venerable orator Edward Everett. Lincoln spoke for only two minutes, and he said "the world will little note nor long remember what we say here," but the words he uttered there will live forever! It was Lincoln's immortal Gettysburg Address!

Students of Lincoln material as well as scholars have made many interpretations, and mis-interpretations, of the writing, delivery and reception of the famous speech delivered on November 19, 1863. Among the latter is the tale of the great Emancipator "dashing off" the text of the address while enroute to the cemetery at Gettysburg. The fact is, there are in existence five versions written in Lincoln's own hand. The opinion is, that after several weeks of mulling it over in his mind, he wrote the first draft in the White House. Further revisions were made on the train and then at the home of Judge Wills in Gettysburg where Abraham Linco l n spent the night. Then, on the morning of the 19th before going to the cemetery, the President wrote his second draft of the eloquent oration which will always be one of the most treasured documents we

Wednesday, February 11, 1959 have. Three other copies are said to haVe been written afte:wards. The final draft has become the authorized version and was penned '.3Y Lincoln from a copy he used at Gettysburg and from rienogra phic reoorts hi:i addr,ss HL ory has recorded in:;e:,,,sting ac • ,,unts of the 12. w w 0-03 were received by the au ,:1( 11,T. The statements vary greatly. For instance, some say that there was a "tumultous outpouring," while others say there was "no applause of any kind." Of course, there can be no doubt that the listeners who had come to the dedication had mixed feelings. Probably the extreme brevity shocked many of them and some had to ponder over the speech, before they could fully grasp the significance that they held. Also true is that the words, for their sheer power, beauty and simplicity left others in a state of reverence. It is not a doubt today that it was a masterful, moving speech, Edward Everett, in a note to Lincoln wrote, "I should be glad to flatter myself that I carte as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes."

Yes, the two-minute speech will live as long as men treasure freedom. It belongs to America, that great land which spells Liberty. Yes, Liberty to pick up and move if you want to; Liberty to move from one part of the land to another; and Liberty to take up land and make the kind of home you want. ) ° 49 •

Valentines Day

Social Security Boosts

February 14 is Valentine's Day. "The approach of the day is now heralded by the appearance in the print-seller's shop windows of vast numbers, of missives calculated for use on this occasion, each generally consisting of a single sheet of post paper," writes the editor of the "Book of Days" a famous English compilation of information about various holidays published in 1863.

Today finds shop windows with elaborate cards, which tell of our love, friendship and respect. Remember your wife, mother or sweetheart on this February the Fourteenth, and surprise them with flowers or candy, or some other timely gift. Above all remember that Valentine's Day should be every day, and not remembered specifically once a year. Let us capture the sweetness of the day and spread it evenly through all the days to come. The SPJST hopes that your Valentine's day will be a happy one, and that you celebrate it with the knowledge that you and your loved ones are protected by our Life Insurance that it at all times working for you. ) • 4,

Some 57 milion American job holders started shelling out anywhere from 11 to 26 cents more in socicial security taxes the first of the year.

Auto Registration Time New license plates for 1959 went on sale in all county courthouses February 2, State Highway Engineer D. C. Greer announced today. The plates will be the reverse of 1958's and halve black letters and numerals on a white background.

Greer stated that four and one-half million motor vehicle registerations were bought by Texans in 1958. "Don't be at the end of that long line. Get your vehicle registered early," Greer urged. "The registration deadline is April 1, but we hope car and truck owners will put on the new plates as soon as possible."

Greer stressed the importance of registering all automobiles and trucks in the home county of the vehicle owner.

"Take your certificate of title and your last year's registration receipt to the tax collector in your home county.

Penalty for improper registration of a vehicle can be as much as $200. Don't risk an illegal registration. Remember, too, that portion of all registration fees stay in your home county to benefit your local community." ) • 4, • (

Another 12,500,000 Americans got a 7 per cent increase in their monthly pension checks. Both groups can thank or blame — as the case may be — changes made in the So-tial Security Law by the last Congress.

The tax boost will cost a $60-a-week worker 15 cents a week more in takehome pay. Those earning $4,800 or more a year will pay the maximum increase of $25.50 a year for employes and $38.25 a year for self-emplos''d.

However, the tax increase may seem a lot bigger to many workers. Starting the first of January the payroll deductions' for workers earning $100, $150 and $200 a week were hiked $2.50, $3.75 and $5 a week respectively.

This sharp increase stems from the fact that such persons will complete their 1959 payments before the end of the year. Deductions then will cease until Jan. 1, 1960.

The Social Security Administration figures that during the coming year about '74 million persons will work at part and full-time jobs covered by social security, and therefore will be hit by the tax increase.

The tax boost on employes will be matched, as usual, by their four million employers. The tax increase on selfemployed persons covered by the social security program will continue to be 50 per cent higher than the rate paid by wage and salary earners. )•4•( Mr. Robertson is a ,e‘ry well-preserved gentleman for his age but he must seem incredibly old to his little grand-daughter Susan.

Hands Across The Nation, Brother!

This month from the 15th through the 22nd is Brotherhood Week in America, where once more those of all creeds and stations in life will clasp hands in a symbol of unity and mutual recognition of the equality of man according to the precepts of our Creator.

Would that these hands remain clasped together firmly throughout the entire year and that all men be touched with tolarance, truth and compassion toward each other in their struggle for human equality and human dignity.

With many of us living through two world wars, the latter to be the War to End Wars, we also witnessed the Korean conflict, as is was called, where our beloved were again killed and maimed, and since that — there has been fighting, shuffling of nations and of powers, misunderstanding and unrest continuously somewhere on our planet earth. There is Cuba with her revolt and reprisal trials. One wonders if the vengence, brother upon brother is really as sweet and soul satisfying as they would have us believe. I think not; for it cannot bring happiness, or settle anything.

Sadly man hasn't learned anything from the past and one again wonders just how much more will mankind have to endure before he either stops short or drops over the abyss of oblivion. It seems that along the way, man has lost the meaning of the word love. Surely if man loved, these things could not happen.

There is then the need to bring love hack into the human race and his consciousness must awaken to guide him.

The world and her troubles seem far iron' our doorsteps however, the unrest and apprehension occasionally do reach into our midst and we begin to wonder where we have failed.

It all boils down to the fact that while men are weary of the turmoil, the unrest and supression of human liberty and thus even human dignity, until he opens his heart to love for fellow creature, with compassion and forgiveness with his consciousness once again guiding him, the world's unhappiness will remain. For some countries. this choas is an awakening with its eruptions for personal freedoms.

Our forefathers knew about this awakening when they founded America as did our immigrant ancestors who migrated to the end of the world then, found life on a more personal free plane.

They were the ones who applied this brotherly ibve to their daily lives and to a more intimate level in founding our societies, lodges and organizations. Our own SPJST for one, was not only a fraternal insurance protective order but a social way of life as well and they brought into play all of their latest talents and skills to make their hard lives in this raw country tolerable.

While the influence of restlessness reaches into some of our lodges, it is small for basically, brotherhood is still perpetuated in our membership and our older generation of members feeling the need even more strongly for the feeling of true loyalty, brotherly love and understanding is still in their hearts.

They still remember the lessons well taught the migrant, of the infinite need of man's love for man in order to survive. So while we go quitely about our daily chores, as this Brotherhood week rolls around, let's all give a prayer of thanks for our fraternal Order which is still basically brotherly and for all the brothers and sisters that n.-,ake up its rolls.

Th

_sage of the of the Union

Early in January, as required by law, President Eisenhower delivered a mes-. sage on the State of the Union to a joint session of Congress at the Capitol.

What is the purpose of this annual prEsiclential address, and what part does it play in American government?

The Constitution 'of the United States imposes on the President many duties and responsibilities. One of them is defined in these words: "He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."

It has now become traditional for the President to carry out this responsibility at the beginning of each legislative year, early in January. He may do so by going up to the Capitol and delivering a speech in person, or he may simply send a communication to be read by an officer of the Congress, This year President Eisen.lower appeared in person.

The n • : e. e ge of the State of the Un-.: ion is far DJoin being a more ceremonial address. In it the President not only discusses the most important foreign and domestic issues facing the nation, but also recommended — in general terms at least — what he feels should be done about them. The .President has subsequently sent, or will send, more detailed messages and recommendations, including a comprehensive budget and an annual economic report.

In these messages the President asks Congress to pass the legislation necessary to carry out the policies he recommends. His recommendations are in effect the beginning of the process by which national action is taken on needed new legislation or new annual ap-propriatios.

The President's recommendations are by no means binding on Congress. Sometimes that body, after studying . his propos,als, passes legislation differing substantially from what he recommends.

On other issues, the legislators may foliose the. President's advice completely; and on still others it may fail to act at all. Finally, Congress may of course initiate. new laws on its responsibility, properly charging the President with the Constitutional duty of carrying them We all back with pvid out. what has been accomplished by our The President often does more than organizers. — Let's all of us be real help- simply recommend. On legislation that he ful to them again in 1959. considers particularly vital he will on oe,..

Wednesday, February 11, 1959 casion use all the resources at his comara.nd — and they are considerable — to gain Congressional approval for his policies. The President, for instance, always commands the allegiance of a number of Congressmen, particularly members of his own party, and he can be actively persuasive in getting approval from others.

And Congress also knows that if it passes legislation too contrary to what the President feels is needed, he has the power to veto it. Then Congress has to muster a two-thirds majority to overcome a presidential veto. Furthermoie the President can effectively mobilize public opinion in support of his policies.

If a presidential proposal has strong popular appeal, Congressmen soon find that fact reflected in communications from the voters.

It would, however, be a mistake to view this legislative process as solely a, matter between the President and Congress. For one of its basic aspects is that the whole process, from the time the President submits his proposals until they are finally decided on, is a matter of intense public interest and appraisal.

This public interest — or public pressure — provides one of the strongest guarantees for the enactment of the kind of legislation that the people will approve. Without the consent of the majority of Americans, or at least of a large number of them, Congress would be extremely unlikely to pass any major piece of legislation.

All of this is, of course, known to the President and his staff. Thus, while the Message on the State of the Union is primarily designed for the approval of Congress, it would be equally accurate to say that when the President appeared before Congress, he was also seeking the approval of the American people.

LODGE POKROK DALLAS 84, SPJST Dear Members and Friends, Our January meeting was very well attended. We hope this attendance will continue to improve for the coming months. Here are a few reports from our last meeting.

First, we want to wish well to the ones who were on the sick list and also to the ones who are under the weather now, Sister Christine Lich of Ft. Worth and Brother Jerry Slovacek of Dallas.

Sister Fredrick has been suffering with poor health for several years now, so our sincere wish is that it will improve soon.

The following members have been elected to the auditing committee: Bros.

Raymond Marek, Emil Peter, Gilbert Kaitch and Otto Janousek.

Brothers, Emil Petr, Anton Janousek and Sister Annie Marek were chosen as our representatives to the Fraternal Council along with our teen-age Sister Juanita Janousek and Brother James Mandak.

We have been mentioning some of the births of new born babies to our members. However, its been the case, in some instances, where these announcements have been ommitted due to lack of information. So, our apologies to those parents whose happy news did not get into the. Vestnik. The Sunshine Com mittee would appreciate if it could be kept informed of any illnesses of our members or if any new births to our Lodge No. 84 families.

The Entertainment Committee is pleading with all members for their help. You see, their work is free and we, as members, should offer our assistance or not decline when asked for help.

'Many of you wouldn't believe it, but our lodge kitchen, last year, made a net of about $1,000.00 That proves our kitchen is a ranch needed accessory to all our functions. So, we do need volunteers to take turns serving, or if that is impossible, bring some of that good pastry.

It will all be appreciated. A big "Thank

Wednesday, February 11, 1959 You" goes to those who have already so generously given of their time and effort in this cause.

This is another reminder concerning the Valentine Party for the youth of our lodge. The party will be on Friday, February 13 So, be sure and bring the children out. Everyone knows what a wonderful time is in store when Sister Bessie Petr and her assistants plan a party!

In the last lodge report we were informed that the Faraizi orchestra would disband. But this past week we received good news. Mr. Fa.raizl told us that; his orchestra is reorganized and will continue to furnish us with music. We are all very glad to hear this.

A bit of sad news is that the Joe Pokladnik orchestra will disband. However, we will all have one more opportunity to hear and dance to that music on Saturday, February 14. Make plans to attend this dance which will be the last appearance of this orchestra here.

Also, there will be no further dances until Easter due to the Lenten Season. On Easter, the dance music will be furnished by the Wesley (Gus) Herzan orchestra.

Maybe some of you are wondering why, as is our custom. this time of year, we do not have a Masquerade Dance scheduled. Well, the Entertainment Committee has a. cute idea up its sleeve and will let you all know about it soon.

Be sure and watch the Vestnik for more information.

Again this year's annual celebration of the lodge will be in August. More than likely we will have the "Building Fund Booth" where all kinds of hand made articles will be for sale. So, we are asking all you ladies, and men, too, to be thinking and making something for this booth. Now would be a good time for this project as the weather is so bad, that many of us have time a plenty on our hands. This would give each of us something to do for a. very good cause.

Remember our meeting, date, Sunday, February 15. Try to attend so we may surpass last month's attendance record. The meeting will be followed by Family Night. Hope to see you all there.

Fraternally, Frances Baleya, Helen Pokiadnik, assistant "Editor's note: — Thanks for your informative letter. News of new arrivals, could be 'sent direct to the Editor and published each week as some do. — at the present.

Fort Worth, Texas Dear Sisters and Brothers, It is time again to remind you of a meeting of the Slovanic Mutual Fire Insurance Association Chapter 9, to be held at the Sokol Hall on the third Sunday of the month, the 15th of February. The time is 2 o'clock. Try to make your plans to be there. After the meeting, supper will be served consisting of sandwiches and coffee and as usual, the ladies are asked to bring pastries of any kind. Everyone enjoys the good pastries that are brought to all of our meetings.

We wish •to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Frank Kuba, one of our members, who passed away on the 22nd of January.

I want to thank every one for all the lovely get well cards I received when I underwent surgery last month. I am able to be up a lot now, but I can't do all my work yet and have to depend on someone else helping me.

Don't forget about the meeting and and as many of you that can, try to come. See you at the meeting.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Carol Zich ) • • WEST SPJST LODGE NO. 54 Dear Brothers and Sisters; Despite the cold weather there was a good number of members present at our last meeting, minutes were read by Brother Frank Cocek and approved.

Two new Junior members were accepted, namely, Irene Marie and Albert Ed Shrubar, twins of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Shrubar.

Two items were in the discussion, one was to install a new air conditioner for the kitchen and the other was to get a loud speaker, both of these are left open and was decided to get them some day in the future. Five sets of new ivory dominoes have been bought for those who like to play dominoes either after meetings or on dance nights.

Brother Ted Kocian presented Brother L. A. Hykel with a nice fountain pen as an appreciation gift for the services he rendered on the entertainment committee this past year.

With the Lenten Season ahead there wont be no dances in our Hall until Easter Sunday. Let's all be at our next meeting the first Sunday in March.

Brothers John Simcik, Edvin Narovec, Jodie Stanislav, Otis Ceska and Bill Korenek were appointed on the Building Committee to serve with the Board of Trustees in working out plans.

The Birthday Club members honored were Brothers Ed Mazanec, Monroe Janke, Jr., Joseph Wm. Traywick, Edward Traywick; Sisters Rose Parma, Agnes Mazanec and Margaret Janke.

Door prizes were won by Mary Sue Moore and by Sister Millie Korenek.

After the meeting everyone enjoyed the delicious buffet supper. Then there was a special Valentine's party for the youth. The Moms and Dads participated in the games and it seerned • that most of the youth thought it the most hilarious event they had seen in a long titne.

The dance was about the most fun ever with nearly everyone participating in about every folk-dance known, and in all the waltzes and polkas. The wonderful music was provided by the Rejceks and Petters. Everyone attending enjoyed the party very much and expressed their hope that this type of family fun-night would be planned more often.

The next regUlar meeting of the Lodge will be held on Sunday, March 1, 1959 at 2:30 p. m. at Linden Hall.

— -THE HUMAN EYE The human eye often tells the tale of a person's health better than any other organ.

This view was expressed by Dr. Evrett R. Veirs at a dinner meeting of the Business and Professional Women's Club held recently at the Kyle Hotel, Temple, Tex. Dr. Veirs, who is Ophthalomologist at Scott and White Memorial Hospital, emphasized the fantastically complex and extensive field that deals with the structure, function and diseases of the eye.

Introduced by Mrs. J. W. Potter, the speaker noted that in the past 100 years science had progressed normally in some phases of dealing with the eye while in other areas little progress has been noted. "iViaximum vision is reached around the age of six." Dr. Veirs pointed out, "and from middle age on it begins to deterioate."

"The person's general health as well as age, show up quickly on the eye," he said.

One For The Book Texas Indians learned from their white brothers and early in Texas history, became known as the world's most expert horse thieves. To them a horse was legal tender with which they purchased their needs. For example: for one horse, he purchased two knives; for two horses, three plugs of tobacco, etc.

When in the year 1687 LaSalle became stranded in Ft. St. Louis on Matagorda Bay here in Texas, searching for an overland route to Louisiana, he needed horses sorely and the Indians along the Bay had lots of them. Having a surplus of hatchets, La Salle traded a hatchet for a horse with both sides believing they had struck the best of the bargain.

Until the Indians were finally pushed west, they bested the white brothers where horses were concerned. Hundrds of harried Texas settlers bought back their own horses from the Indians with hard-earned trinkets, tools or tobacco.

The is of horses in the history of Texas cannot be exaggerated and has never been fully comprehended by many historians.

As late as the Civil War, men exchanged property for horseflesh! One such deal is the oil rich Belle Wisdom Dome field in Brazonia County, where relatives tell of the former owner Darst, trading 50 acres for a horse and a gold watch to go to the California Gold Rush.

A gentlemen's agreement was all that was needed.

The horse transformed the Indian from a slow-moving creature on foot to a daring mounted warrior, instilling in him a dormant pride that knew no bounds. The horse brought a new way of life for the Indian in Texas and the Southwest.

Until the time when Spanish Conquestadors brought their fine Arabian

horses with them into northern Mexico and Texas, horses and mules were unknown to the redmen, and as these men, Cabaza de Vaca, Francisco Vasquezde Coronado, Alverez de Pineda and others explored the country for gold, they found parched land with redmen coveting their fins ilTiCUICAS. The Indians told all explorers of the Seven Cities of Cibola, supposedly paved with gold and. fabulous wealthy with precious metal; but the thought arises that possibly the Indians had hoped by perpetuating the myth of these riches they would spur these mounted strangers to remain longer in the area and that more would follow them and bring with them more of these horses. While the Indians were on friendly terms with these white men, it did not diminish their desire for their horses or the practice of stealing them whenever the Spanards backs were turned. During the more than a hundred years of searching for the Seven Cities of Cibola and its wealth, many horses were lost to the Indians and the conquestadores, were left behind to perpetuate their hardy breed in the semi-arid lands of Mexico and Texas. The beautiful Arabian horses were especially well adapted to this climate and they multiplied rapidly and then the Indian had two sources of obtaining horses. They captured these wild mounts to break for riding and they 'continued to steal from the invaders. They particularly desired the mounts of the invaders already broken, however, which could also be more easily taken.

While the Indians of the eastern sections of North America used wampum as a' medium of exchange, the horse was the Southwestern Indian's money and a man's wealth and stature was judged by the number of horses in his string.

When the Spanish finally stopped bringing horseflesh, the herds of wild horses grew smart and elusive but by that time settlers from the United States began moving in and drifting westward and brought horses and mules with them. While their breed was different from the beautiful and spirited Arabian horses, these animals were just as gleefully welcomed.

Gradually the descendants of the Arabian horse degenerated into a wild mustangand roamed the country in great herds; while the progeny of the animals from the east were largely draft horses and mules. The Indians divided the two types using the broken-in mustan gs for riding and hunting and the draft atilmals 'being turned over to their squaws for use in moving camp from one site to another. The mustangs,

Strana 27

however, remained the "ten dollar tender" while the draft animals became the "five dollar medium of exchange."

The Comanches were perhaps the most adept horse thieves among the Indians of the Soutwest. They not only knew the fine tricks necessary to consistently succeed at stealing, but they soon learned to distinguish the best animals from the others, which became their special targets.

By the time Stephen F. Austin came to Texas, horses were plentiful and Indian stealing developed into such a fine art that the Indian traded his horse surplus for the white man's luxuries. It appealed to the Indian's fitness of things to trade a white man's horse back to him.

In the year 1828, one Captain Henry Brown (for whom Brown County was named) led a white settler expedition to the Clear Fork of the Brazos River with wagons loaded with trade goods to buy horses from the Indians. A thousand head of horses were exchanged with the Comanches. This herd was corralled on the Bosque River awaiting the drive back to their home by the white settler expedition. The Comanches raided the camp and drove the herd off. Incensed by this effrontery, Captain Brown led the expedition to recapture the horses and came back with 500 of them.

While the Comanches may have been the first to recognize horse's importance to his way of life, to develop horse stealing to such a fine art, there were other tribes equally adept such as the Apaches, Kiowas, Cheyennes, Cherokees, Blackfeet, Pawnees and Crow. Soon the entire Indian nation evolved from the slowmoving foot traveling race into proud and daring mounted riders. This was a new pinnacle in Indian life.

However, greediness did not envelope the Indian, for beyond the horses he needed to ride and to trade, he did not crave more and more horses. In fact, he gave some to his needy Indian friends, or traded them to the whites.

The thrill of stealing exceeded the thrill of ownership.

One of history's most spectacular horse stealing raids conducted by the Comanche Indians was in 1840 when they raided the towns of Victoria and Linnville, driving off 5,000 horses. Incensed, at the double cross involving the Council House Fight in San Antonio, the Comanches pillaged, burned and killed during this raid, but this all was merely side-play.

In 1866 a family named Mullins living on Jim Ned Creek in Brown County owned a fine saddle horse branded "IC". In the absence of the men at home, In-

Strana 28

dians raided this homestead taking the branded 4-year-old horse with them.

Ten years later, it is said, a John Townsend of that country visited the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition and saw this IC branded animal in a horse show. Close inspection proved it to be the Mullin's saddle horse stolen in the raid.

Horse stealing became so honorable a profession among the Indians that a father whose son stole the most ponies was the proudest parent in the Indian stronghold, being only second to killing while in battle in the Indian's scale of honor.

It was only at the turn of the 20th century that our money standard had any value for the Indian. As late as the year 1874 a party of Comanches and Kiowas attacked the Indian Agency at Anadarko, Okla. (then Indian territory) pillaging a near-by store, breaking glassware, china and taking whatever they fancied. They found a roll of money, which they scattered, lit cigars with some of the money and left the rest, but riding away with strips of bright calico tied to their horses tails.

On another occasion, in 1867 three men from Fort Concho led a herd from several ranches into Fort Sumpter, New Mexico, which was sold to the government for beef to feed imprisoned Indians. As the three men headed back home, the Navajos attacked and killed them. When the rest of the party in the drive caught up with their leaders, they found thousands of dollars in paper money taken from the attacked men and torn into fragments and scattered in the brush. Whenever Indians came into possession of gold ,on raids, they turned it over to sharp white traders for trifles of little value.

If it wasn't a horse, nothing else was of much value, for with horses, he could trade for a plug of tobacco or even a wife.

Wednesday, February 11, 1959 These rules are not arbitrary but are designed to see that justice is done in our courts: The judge is seeking to have the truth established and insure that all parties and witnesses in the trial are givsn a lull and fair opportunity to present the facts.

• • NEWCOMERS TO TEXAS MAY I:AVE LEGAI PROBLEMS

Court Rules Necessary for Justice ;Are you hopelessly confused by court room procedure? Words such as objections, overruled, sustained, hearsay, irrelevant and opinion are meaningless to many persons.

The purpose of a trial is to settle disputes that the parties cannot settle themselves. Before these disputes can be settled the facts which give rise to them must be established. This sounds simple, but on the contrary it is a difficult task. If the parties agreed on the facts the job would be easy, but each side has its own version.

The trial court has the job of establishing the facts. This is accomplished by questioning witnesses and the introduction of physical evidence. This requires application of the rules of evidence.

Through the years the law of evidence has been established. The rules place restraints on what type of evidence is proper. They have the effect of protecting the rights of the parties by insuring a fair trial.

Hearsay is a word often heard during a trial. Heasay may involve a statement by a third person of 'a conversation between two other persons. It would be hearsay if Jones were asked to tell the court what he overheard Smith tell Greene. With certain exceptions, evidence of this type is excluded because it is not reliable, and might o pen the door to false testimony.

A lawyer objects to evidence he does not believe is proper. If a lawyer objects to evidence because it is irrelevant, he means that the evidence is of such little importance that it has no bearing on the case, and if administered it would bog down the trial so that the time needed does not justify its admission.

Opinion evidence of one not an expert is not admissible since such opinion carries no weight.

When an objection is sustained by the judge the evidence is not r=eceived.

Should the objection be overruled, the evidence is allowed to be presented.

The rules of evidence have been built up through many years of court trials.

We're all proud that Texas is a growing state. Each year thousands of people swarm here froM other parts of the country to benefit from the many opportunities in business and industry.

In addition to their skill and brainpower, these new corners bring with them , a variety of legal papers and ideas which are based upon the law of other states.

We don't always remember that federal laws .are only a part of our, system and that each of the states has "reserved powers" under the constitution to make its own laws. "States' rights" is one of the most jealously guarded principles in American government.

Because of this difference in state laws, for example, a- state like Nevada becomes a popular place to get a divorce many businesses incorporate in Delaware, and souse, other states become havens for quick marriages. But there are many lesser-known variations in state laws which can have quite a bearing on your legal affairs.

If you own property in another state, or prepared your will before moving to Texas, or have business interests elsewhere, no matter how small, the variations in state laws could make a difference to you and your family.

If one is new in Texas he should take a second look at his legal standing in the light of Texas law. If one should move to another state, he should do the same thing when he gets settled there. Or if one has a plot of land in Florida or California as part of his retireintne plan, let's say, or even minor interests in another state, he should protect himself before hand against any possible complications due to differences in state laws.

The best-laid plans in your home state might put you or your heirs at a disadvantage when interpreted under the laws of another state.

(This column, prepared by the State Bar of Texas, is witten to inform — not to advise.. No person should ever apply or interpret any law without the aid of an attorney who is fully advised concerning the facts involved, because a slight variance in facts may change the application of the law.)
