The San Antonio Republic states an
important truth: "In the long run the
taxpayers must defray all campaign
expenses no matter how Incurred. "
The people w ill realize this some day
and also that they pay the tariff and
all other Indirect taxes. The selfish
interests that secure special privileges
by fooling the people can't fool them
always.
The saloon in politics is a brazen
diabolical attempt to corrupt the gov-
ernment and prostitute it to the basest
purposes. The church in politics Is a
mixture of fanaticism and hypocrisy.
It is questionable which of the two is
more dangerous to liberty. Free in-
stitutions can not last long If either
gets control. j
It Is true that the' town people use
the public roads less frequently than
the country people but since the town
gets lt3 support from the country the
town people are benefited by good
roads not less than the country people.
This is a case where it is the interest
of all to work together for the common
good.
The proposition to tax automobiles
for building and maintaining good
roads deserves careful consideration.
It is believed that a large majority of
the owners of machines do not object
and some are ehartily In favor of the
proposition.
The heroism of Madero in saving the
life of General Navarro from the ven-
geance of the insurgents is a parallel
to that of Gen. Sam Houston in per-
forming a similar service for Santa
Anna after the battle of San Jacinto.
The Methodist Sunday school adver-
tised in Saturday's Eagle for eleven
more members to 'fill out the three
hundred. The attendance was twenty-
four in excess of that number which
shows that Eagle ads get results.
whose purpose It will be to promote
and encourage the hog Industry In
that county and to aroiiBe greater in-
terest in the Industry by offering
prizes for the best pigs raised for the
Fort Worth and Dallas shows.- With
numerous corn clubs over the state to
encourage an increased production of
corn it in fitting that the hog clubs
should follow in order to consume the
surplus product of corn and the rais
ing of hogs is one of the most profit-
able pursuits that the boys of the
state can engage in.
Good roads cost money but If the
roads are properly constructed and
the money honestly expended the in-
vestment will prove more than satis-
factory and profitable.
Eighteen carloads of machinery have
been received for the new sugar mill
which Is being erected at Harlingeu
and it is expetced that the mill will
be completed In time for the fall cane
crop. Harlingen Is located in the heart
of the sugar cane belt of Texas and
the mill to manufacture sugar ana
other cane products out of the raw ma-
terial is filling a long felt want In that
section.
Good roads do more than anything
else or any other agency to encourage
the thrift and Increase the Industry
and insure the contentment of the peo-
ple of the country.
A wax factory is being constructed
at Marathon in Brewster county by
the Continental Wax Company of Lit-
tle Rock which has a capital of $300-
000. This company proposes to put up
ten factories In the West and the one
at Marathon is the first of the West

produced by the plant is extracted

UP-TO ALLEN ACADEMY
TO DEFEND HER CLAIMS
'.Monday Evening May to ism
Comparison of Recerds Give Marshall
the Title Acording to San
Antonio Express.
For some unaccountable reason Al-
len Academy of Bryan Is claiming
academic track honors in Texas. On
just what grounds they base their
claim say most Texas experts it is
rather difficult to imagine. Allen can
not base It on the mere winning of the
recent academic meet at College Sta-
tion in which only three other weak
academic teams were entered and in
which the records were exceedingly
poor.
A comparison of theeam record of
this school with that of Marshall
Training School shows most conclu-
sively that the title rightfully belongs
to the local lads and not to the self-
styled "champions" from the Brazos
valley.
In the first place Marshall has en-
tered and won by overwhelming scores
three state meets the San Antonio
fair meet the Fort Worth meet and
the state interscholastlc at Austin. In
every instance the local lads more
than doubled the score of their near-
est competitors. In the Fort Worth
meet Marshall defeated a field of fif-
teen schools including Allen Academy.
Marshall scored 44 points in this
meet. Allen scored only 5 being fifth
In the meet. In this meet the Mar-
shall captain alone scored more than
four times as many points as the en-
tire Allen team while including (Join
three Marshall men Individually scored
as many or more points than Allen
Academy.
Allen Academy has participated in
only two meets this season. In the
first one the Fort Worth meet she
finished fifth as has been previously
stated scoring 5 points to Marshall's
44. The second meet the College Sta
grows profusely In Brewster and other Upon meet she won-but the recordi
records reveals the fact that Marshall
holds a total t of Beven while Allen
holds only three.
Impartial v judges all over Texas
have chosen Marshall Training as
once more the state academy cham
pion.
Following are the Texas records In
the academy class several comparing
favorably with the Texas college rec-
ords and ten of them being held hy

Several traveling men have re-

are surprised to see Bryan so lively.

demand orders for $10000000 worth
having been placed already by North-
ern firms. The locating of factories
in the midst of the raw material Is an
adjustment of economic conditions
and the building of cartories in Texas
will add millions to our wealth an

The haphazard way of attending to
the road interests of the different

superseded by order and system under
the supervision of the county highway

C. M. Evans superintendent of the
extension department of A. & M. col
lege says:
"The sweet potato weevil in general
apiearance looks like an ant but it is
a snout beetle. The color of the beetle
is dark steel blue; the head is black
while the thorax and legs are red. It
is about one-quarter of an inch long.
It is the larvae stage of the beetle
which does the most damage. The
beetle lays small yellowish white eggs
in the cavities where it has been feed-
ing. These soon hatch out and burrow
down the stem into the potato itself.
If the infection is bad they soon riddle
the entire potato making it unfit for
anything except stock feed. The in
fection can be detected only when the
potatoes are dug that Is to any great
extent.
"No practical method has been
evolved for fighting infested fields.
The only method is prevention. This
cnn .be done by destroying all vine9
and infected potatoes and for the next
crop secure no seed from the infected
sources planting them in the field as
far removed from the infected fields
as possible. Weeds nearly related to
the sweet potato plant like morning
glories also harbor the pest and
should be carefully destroyed."

were far inferior to the records made
in the Austin meet where Marshall
defeated a stronger field by a more
overwhelming score than Allen's total
at College Station. -
The following table shows most con
clusively the relative strength of these
two teams:
Comparative Records.
50-yard dash: College Station 5 3-5
seconds; Austin 5 3-5 seconds.
100-yard dash: College Station
10 2-5 seconds; Austin 101-5 seconds.
120-yard hurdles: College Station
17 seconds; Austin 15 seconds.
220-yard dash: College Station.
22 3-5 seconds; Austin 23 2-5 seconds.
440-yard run: College Station 55 2-5
seconds; Austin 54 2-5 seconds.
880-yard run: College Station 2
minutes and 17 seconds; Austin 2
minutes and 10 seconds.
' One-mile run: College Station. C
minutes and 40 seconds; Austin 5
minutes and 22 1-5 seconds.
Shot-put: College Station 42 feet 8
Inches; Austin 46 feet 11 1-2 .Inches.
Hammer throw: College Station
125 feet; Austin 153 feet fi inches.
Discus throw: College Station SO
feet 4 1-2 inches; Austin 100 feet 1
inch.
High jump: College Station 5 feet
6 incehs; Austin 5 feet 5 Inches.
Broad jump: College Station 10
feet 3 inches; Austin 20 feet H inches.
Relay: College Station 4 minutes
nnrt fi BPrnnds: Austin. 3 minutes anu
52 seconds.
From this it will be seen that ten
of the records made at Austin were
better than thoes made at College Sta
tion; one was the same while only-
two of the College Station records
were better. One of these was the
220-yard dash which at College Sta
tion was run on a straight track but
at Austin was run on a curve.
Field Events Also Better
The field events show the class of
the winning team at Austin no less
than the track events. Every Held
event record at Austin but one was
Wttpr than the corresponding events
at College Station.
The weight events In particular
show the superiority of the San An
tonio lad3 over the Allen team. Both
Marshall and Allen made clean-ups in
the weight events in their respective
meets but the performance of the
local athletes made those of their
rivals look puny.
In the hammer throw the Marshall
man who won the event tossed the
missile 153 feet 6 inches or just 28
feet 6 1-2 inches farther than the Allen
man while the Marshall man who took
third place bettered the winning per
formance at College Station just 15
feet 1 inch.
In the discus throw the Marshall
husky won with a throw of 100 feet 1
inch just 19 feet It 1-2 inches better
than that of the rival Allen man.
Again as in the hammer throw the
winner of third place made a better
record than the winner of first place
at College Station beating his per
formance by nearly 13 feet
The Marshall shot-putter eclipsed
the record of the Allen man by 4 feet
3 1-2 Inches breaking his own stale
record of 43 feet.
track team is the best in the state but
It seems there are some few left who
do not admit this. Among these few
are some of the schools of San An-
tonio who are anxious to meet Allen
on the field. What will be done to cnll
the bluff of Marshall Training School?
