BIG FEED .CROP ASSURED
FOR CASS COUNTY.
General rains have been falling
throughout Cass county and all
East Texas the past few days,
which virtually assures one of
the biggest feed crops this sec-
tion has had in several years.
More corn, peas, peanuts, sor-
ghum and other feed stuff has
been planted this year than usu-
al, and it is all looking fine.
Some farmers; are still planting
peas and June corn,
God's Country.
When all our roads are good
roads; when country schools are
good schools; when farms pro-
duce larger yields at greater pro-
fits; when farmers unite to up-
build rural life-
Then the children of the farm
will scorn to desert this fairest of
places for crowded cities; popula-
tion will be more evenly divided,
for many who struggle for a
crust in the city will find plenty
in the country; wealth will be
more evenly divided; there will
be less of the doctrine of hate
and more of the gospel of love;
there will be more happiness.
This is the future of God's
Country if you and I lend our
aid. It means a wonderful fu-
ture—not in dollars alone—but
in a contented, successfulIpeople,
constituting an industrial and
agricultural republic, peaceful
and prosperous beyond compare.
What an incentive—what an
opportunity; isn't it worth fight-
ing for?—The Banker-Farmer, g
It Could Be Done.
"Patience and perseverence will
accomplish all things," was a
favorite saying of an old miller,
of whom London Tit-Bits tells.
He had made this remark in a
train one day on the way to mar-
ket, when a pompous individual
in the corner turned to him cross-
ly and said:
"Nonsense, sir. 1 can tell you
a great many things which neith-
er patience nor perseverence can
accomplish."
"Perhaps you can," said the
miller, "but I have never yet
come acros^one thing."
•"Well, then, I'll tell you one.
Will patience and perseverence
ever enable you to carry water
in a sieve?"
"Certainly."
"I would like to know how."

At a meeting of citizens this

there would not be any dinner

tertained in tbe homes. Tbe
women of our town have been

of two protracted meetings,

tiaaer ca the ground*
To the Voters op Texas :
Among the Constitution Amend-
ments to be voted on July 24th, ii
House Joint Resolution No. 34, bat-
ter known as the Sacke^ Resolution.
This proposed amendment concerns
the State institutions for highei
education, and we, the undersigned,
desire to commend it without reserve
to the people of the State, and to ex- ^
press tne unqualified belief that the
best interest of the Stnte will be
promoted by its adoption.
It is agreed by all who are famil-
iar with the subject, that the exist-
ing provisions of the Constitution
regarding these institutions are un-
satisfactory. At present no money
can be appropriated out of the gen-
eral revenue for the erection of
buildings for the Univcrsiay of Tex-
as. This inhibition is the most ser-
ious obstacle to the growth of the
University. Scction 14, of Article
7, of the Constitution, now reads:
"The Legislature shall, also, when
deemed practicable, establish and
provide for the maintenance of a
college or branch university for the
instruction of the colored youths of
the State, to be located by a vote of
the people; provided, that no tax
shall be levied, and no money appro-
priated out of the general revenue,
either for this purpose or for the
establishment and erection of the
buildings of the University of■
Texas."
It is passing strange that the in-
hibition against the use of money
out of the general revenue should
appear as a "rider" in the section
which provides for the establishment
of a school for negroes. The urgent
need of the buildings has been re-
peatedly stated by the board of
regents in the most emphatic terms.
The proposed amendment does not
give the University any buildings;
it merely empowers the Ligislature
to appropriate money for that pur-
pose. Who would contend that the
Legislature ought not to have that
power ?
The relations of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College to the Uni-
versity are not satisfactorily deter-
mined bv the present provisions ol
the Constitution. Nobody knows to
a certainty what these relations are.
Technically, by Section 13, the Col-
lege is a "Branch" of the University.
Is it, then, lawful to appropriate
money out of the general revenue for
buildings for the College? It has
generally been held that it is lawful;
but at least one governor has held
that it is not. There is the evei
present danger that after the Legis-
lature has voted money for buildings
for the College, the appropriation
will be vetoed by the Governor on
Constitutional grounds. Surely this
uncertainty ought to he removed.
These two are serious objections
to the Constitutinal provisions as
they now stand. The benefits to b«
secured by the adoption of the pro-
posed amendment are of primo im-
portance.
1. The Legislature will be au-
thorized, in its discretion, to appro-
priate money for buildings for the
University, the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, the College of
Industrial Arts and to provide other-
wise for their support.
2. The Agricultural and Me-
chanical College will be separated
from the University and made an
independent college.
Conditions demand that this b«
done. In no other way will th«
College be able to be of the highest
service to the people.
The amendment provides for no
bonds. It lays no burdens upon th*
people.
3. In addition to separating th«

fact that the Legislature, in 1879,

Issues that Breed Agitators Should bo
Eliminated.
The political Agitator must be elim-
inated from public life before thought-i
ful consideration can bo given to ai
constructive program in government.!
The liquor question is the most pro-
title breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or nnti, tha batch is
squally oh undesirable. This artlol«
Is In no sense a discussion of the li-
quor quettlon but deals solely and by
way of illustration with the political
products of that issue. Other aub-i
Jecta will be dealt with in the order
of their importance.
In the history of our government
tbe liquor iaeuo has never produced
a consirucUve etatesman worth men-
tlosilng and it never will. It has sent
more freaks to Congress, Lilliputians
to tha Senate and incompetents to
efflco than any other political isi-ua
cnd«r the sun.
The recent experience of the Bng--
llsh Parliament which lathed Itself
into a fury over tho liquor question
lias a lesson that it is well for tha'
farmers of this nation to observe; for
the subject in noma form or other is,
constantly before the public for solu-'
trou and ofuln e3 to the exclusion cf
more important problems to the Amerv
lean plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards. I
^ T-luyd-George, Iho Prohibition leader
of Europe who led the prohibition fighr.j
in England, haa declared that he will
never again take a driuk politically
and there are muny American politi-:
elans—pro and auti—w ho would render'
their country a service by climbing
ou the water waiou or signing a pledgo1
of political tomperance. Too ofteflt
our legislative halls are turned Into
political bar-rooms and many of the
members bccoma intoxicated on liquor*
discussions. Wo havo too many polit-
ical drunkards—pro and anti—la our
public affairs. No one who Is a slava
to the political liquor habit is qulto
so capable of dealing with the buai-!
nosa affairs of government aa th<*
sober and iudustrlous. Wo have fewt
public men in this day who are strong1
enough to resist tha temptation of,
strong drink politically aud when tho
demon Rum orce becomes firmly en-
trenched in the mind of a polltlcian.1
he is less capable of meeting the de-
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
We havo in this country too many
red-nosed politicians—both pro and
anti. A candidate with political deli-
rium tremens, a preacher with pollti-j
cal snakes In his boots and an agitator
drunk on tho liquor question are the
sadflest sights in civilization and theyi
should all be forced to take the pollt-j
leal Keeley Cure.
It is far more important in govern-!
ment to make it easier for thoee whoj
toll to eat than to make It more dif-
ficult for a few topera to drink. There
la not one person in one hundred of
our rural population that ever touckea
liquor out wa all eat three times a
day.
j un lit is much more liltely to do

fur letter than un-
kinrlnena.
People run carry themselves ho
that their whole uatuiv thall be

know it, i.s not Hitnply to leave
