As we understand it, he newspapers
are not opposing a proper censorship of
news, but are kicking like bay steers at a
muzzle that may be applied at the whim
of any two-by-four commissioned officer.
As a rule newspaper men are sutticiently
patriotic to refrain from printing mat-
ters that would prove harmful to the
country without even the suggestion of
a censorship.—Denison Herald.

Censor Street Corner Oratory.
The United States senate has declared
itself in favor of a press censorship dur-
ing ths war. Well do anything that is
patriotic, but. for the Lord’s sake, at the
same time put a censorship on some of
these street corner orators and checker
players. Don't make it class legislation,
else it will not stand.—Bryan Eagle.
This year, as never before, the sandy
land farmers will have the opportunity of
showing what they can do. Food and
crops are going to be worth their weight
in gold. Cotton will not be the standard
of value. True, cotton may be worth
even more than It sold for the past sea-
son, but what does It profit a man to
sail 20-cent cotton and have to buy 50-
Vinson held a personal conterence
with Gen. John J. Pershing with ref-
erence to this possibility. Should the
camp become an actuality, all students
now in the university, and perhaps
ex-students of ths Institution, will be
able to receive the training necessary
to equip them for commissions in ths
United states army and still retain
their residence in Austin. The toot-
ball field and other suitable ground
about the university buildings will be
a fine place for drilling purposes, and

it was either enlist for work on farms
or go to jail.
Jails are not attractive to the average

they can be made to work is question-

of subsistence except by their own ettorts.

WHAT THE PEOPLE
----SAY-——
Editor Austin American:
I wish to contribute to the people of
Austin this recipe, which I have used and
know to cure and prevent smallpox. When
Jenner discovered cowpox in England the
world of science hurled an avalanche
of fame upon his hsad, but when the
most sclentinie school of dhedicine in the
world—that of Parte-‘published thia
recipe and panacea for smallpox. it passed
unheeded: It is as unfailing as fate 'and
conquers in every instance.
It is harmless when taken by a well
person. It will also cure children of
scarlet fever. Hero is the recipe as I
have used to cure the smallpox:
Sulphate of sine, 1gt. •
Foxglove (digitalis), 1 Er.
Half teaspoon of sugar.
Mix with two tablespoonstul of water.
When thoroughly mixed add four ounces
of water.
Take a spoonfull every hour.
Either disease will disappear In twelve
hours. For a child smaller doses accord-
ing to age. '
It counties would compel physicians to
use this there would be no need of pest
houses. If you value advice and experi-
with a proper corps of officers la
charge, precisely the same training
could be received—with the exceP:
tion of camp Uto, and even that could
be arranged for whould the authort-
Um decide that it would be well to
toUow such a plan.
From San Antonio President Vin-
son will go direct to Washiogton City
In response to the following telegram,
which he received today:

tained, how far greater will be the satis-
faction of every liberty-loving eitizen of
this country than if they had fought for
the domain and posnesslons of others.
Of course the people of this country
have a pride in their ability, of their won-
derful wealth and resources, and it is a
jus one, but H must be remembered that
all this has not been secured without
more than a century of struggle, of self-
denial. but they have the added satistac-
Uon of knowing that whUe they have been
creating this great wealth they have not
been mercenary. The United States leads
the world in its charities and they have
never,been confined to any one country
or people and there has bever been dla-
tress to any quarter of the globe but they
have sought to relieve IL
How in keeping with this sentiment
then is the present decision of the nation
that-tt must wage a war for tM prin-
ciples of humanity and a permanent peace,
when these cannot be secured by other
means. It rejoicing comes at the con-
clusion at the war, it wil! be ever what
Ma been won tar other people rather
than what they have eecured for them-
eeives that tM people of tM United States
will rejotce.

ber of the lower branch of the Texas
legislature and feeling assured his con-
stituency from the rich counties of
Collin and Grayson will return him

has announced his purpose to make the
race for the speakership of the thirty-
sixth'-house in 1*1*. '
Representative Spradley is one at the
bachelor members of the house and la
extremely popular with his associates
snd friends He was born in Collin
county, where his parents J. R. Sprad-
ley and Melissa Jane (Bird) Spradley
stil live, his father being 85 years old
and his mother ft. The senior Sprad-
ley came to Texas from Illinois in 1852
and' settled in Collin county, where he
has since made his home except dur-
ing the four years, when he served in .
the Confederate army in . the war be-..
tween the states Mr Spradley's mother
came to Texas with her parents from
Mississippi and she, too, has lived all
her life in Collin county.
The subject of this sketch was edu-
cated in the public schools at Allen.
Texas, and at Baylor university. ' In
Waco. His ancestors have been loyal
democrats for generations and Mr.
Spradley is one of the leaders in the
lower house. He came to Austin first
as a member of the thirty-first legis-
lature. returned tor the thirty-second,
thirty-third, thirty-fourth and thirty-
fifth. He is experienced and capable
in parliamentary procedure and otten
has been called upon to handle the
gavel during the long service ho hoe
seen in the house. Bo tar there is no
