An Appreciation.
Editor Cherokeean:
On the morning of August 23,
as the first raya of dawn were
painting with a soft glow the
eastern horizon the spirit of J.
W. Boozer took its flight.
What a beautiful, peaceful
hour in which to sink into eter-
nal sleep. The death bed scene
was as peaceful and as placid as
the hour in which it took place.
There waB no pain, no struggle,
and a restful smile lingered on
the face of him who slept.
On the night before, with his
family about him, he had plan-
ned to take a holiday on t h e
morrrow, and was cheerful and
hopeful. The coming day did
bring an eternal holiday, thus
ending a life of industry and toil,
though to J. W. Boozer work had
no terrors; had never been a dis-
agreeable task, but was a pleas
ant mode of contributing to the
comforts and welfare of his lov-
ed ones.
And not only were the mem-
bers of his family the beneficia-
ries of his industry, good judg-
ment and sound, prudent man-
agement, but the community as
well.
He pointed the way to others
toward independence and pros-
perity. His example and leader-
ship added material wealth and
happiness to his neighbors. He
showed them how to meet diffi-
culties with fortitude, and with
a smile, and there is greatness in
the soul when such is the case.
True greatness is not confined
to those who have commanded
vast armies, or to those who have
led in forensic debates, but is
more often found in the unobtru-
sive lives of men and women un-
known to the great world be-
yond, but who have been a bless-
ing to those fellow mortals with
whom they have come in contact
in life, and who have made the
world better for their living in it.
It may be that their goodness
and greatness was confined to
wiping away the tears of the
humble and the lowly; or doing
well their humble part in life; of
setting examples of duty cheer-
fully performed, of fortitude and
true bravery in meeting the dif-
ficulties of life.
If the soul of the dead should
be permitted to linger around
the home, and to observe the last
tributes paid to the memory of
the departed, our friend was
fully compensated for his kind,
indulgent, useful life.
He as then made to realize
more fully than ever before, no
doubt, the depths and intensity
of the love and adoration of his
family, and of the respect, es-
teem and affection of his neigh-
bors and friends. He was made
to know that his life had not
been lived in vain, and that the
flowers which so many loving
hands brought to cover his grave
were the fruits and reward of a
noble life full of good work3.
Let us be ready to answer a
sudden and unexpected sum-
mons. and meet it with a smile
as he did. Let us so live and act
that the dear ones will mourn
not as those without hope, but
out of love so strong and deep
that time alone can reconcile
them to t he inscrutable workings
of Providence.
Let us so live and act that our
neighbors will feel a personal loss
at our going, and that all will
realize that the world has lost
something in our departure from
it.
A FRIEND.
A Bumper Crop and Economic Idiocy
The August government crop
report shows a probable produc-
tion of 3,000,000,000 bushels of
corn and 800,000,000 bushels of
wheat, with relatively good crop
prospects in other products.
The question now occurs what
are the farmers going to do with
their surplus? Europe wants it
and needs it, but a Republican
party conspiracy, beginning in
1918 and continuing to this day,
has left Europe in financial and
economic chaos and destroyed
the farmers' greatest source of
prosperity, the foreign markets.
Until these are restored, the sur-
plus agricultural products must
go begging and also operate to
reduce the price in the *home
market. It is now proposed to
destroy what is left of the foreign
market by the prohibitive prof-
iteering Fordney-McCumber Tar-
iff bill.
While the farmer is thus in-
creasihg his products the Repub-
lican party is driving away his
customers and destroying their
ability to buy. This is economic
idio y, upon which Republican
reactionaries have a monopoly.

What Education Coats.
The average per capita cost of
maintaining a stud nt in the A.
& M. College of Texas for one
year during the entire forty-five
year period of the institution's
history has been $166.13. This
is the information given out by
President W. B. Bizzell following
examination of the report made
to him by H. A. Widdecke, college
accountant, who has just com*
pleted several months' work at
Austin and at College Station
gathering records of all appropri-
ations made for the College by
the state and federal govern-
ments.
In the forty-five year period
the state and federal governments
have made total appropriations
of $7,779,968.98. Only $4,334,-
282.37 of this amount was for
maintenance and support, the
other being for permanent im-
provements still available for
instruction. Dividing the $4,-
334,282.37 by 26,089, the number
of students enrolled in that time
the per capita per annum cost is
found.
On account ot the changes in
j economic conditions this cost has
I risen to $192.62, according to the
average for the past six years,

get our nerves under a little bet-

him squarely in the eye and not
choke or stutter or anything, we
are going to reply in our defiant
way that we do too.
