While filling the office of prosecuting attorney he served as principal of Mexican School from 1909 to 1912, inclusive. For his diversions he is fond of hunting, fishing and the quieter amusements of home and society. Concerning his native state, he believes that Texas has some of the best laws to be found on the statute books of any state and has a splendid commercial future. He also believes that it is in the beginning of a fast growing period in population, resources and wealth, and especially does he believe this true of West Texas.
