Amendment to Warehouse Bill Wag-
Urged.
Waco, Texas, April 6.—More than
200 members of the Central Texas
Ginners' association and many far-
mers from the same territory held a
convention in Waco yesterday to pro-
test against the provisions of the
permanent warehouse bill, which be-
comes effective, next June. Address-
es were made by Senator A. R. Mc-
Collum of Waco, Dabney White of
Tyler and Clarence Ousley of Agri-
and Mechanical college.

The principles of this "Coming Ed
ucation" as humane teaching is now
called, are, "love of justice, respect
for others' rights, fair play, cham-
pionship of the weak and oppressed,
recognition of the ldtfihip of life,
and the universal obligation of the
spirit of kindness toward all that
lives, toward bird and beast, as well
bb toward our human fellows of
every race and clime."
This is the principle taught the
children when they become members
of a Band of Mercy, and they will
make better men and women for bar-
ing such principles inculcated in
early childhood.
Children like plants thrive best
when tenderly and carefully nur-
tured, and as they grow in kindness
and thoughtfulness, sympathy and
mercy, so will they grow mentally
and spiritually.,
In some of the Roman Catholic
Dioceses in France children are re-
quired before they are admitted to
their first communion to promise to
never ill treat lower animals. Some
teacher has said "It is more a mat-
ter of character than animals, and
the chief objects of school should be-
to make good citizens. The vitally
important work for us is the humane
edncation of the millions of boys and
girls who are to be the fature citi-
zens of the State."
We are very proud of the "Alamo
Band of Mercy." These children, ia
the short time of their organizations
have collected and taken to the county
superintendent for distribution in
the raral districts, twenty packages
of literature aggregating 600 pieces
of reading matter of magazines and
papers, not including fifty humane
leaflets which were enclosed.
Each member of this band pledged
to some one who was not likely to re-
themselves to send an Easter card
ceive one, and to try to be kind and
thoughtful.
Their officers are earnest, capable
children, and we may expect splendid^
results from them as time goes on.
The club has received about five
hundred humane leaflets and post
cards, and it is their wish to inter-
est the children in their distribution.
Especially do we wish to wage war
against the "cruel high check rein,"
feeling that it is ignorance at the
suffering and harm this rein accom-
plishes, and nqt wanton cruelty that

beyond a comfortable position.
I read the other day where about
500 veterinary surgeons in Great Bri-
tain have signed a paper condemning
tight check reins, as "painful to
horses and productive of disease."-
A most interesting organization,
one which bids fair to be far-reach
ing in its good results, is the "Capip
Fire Girls."
The "Camp Fire Girls" of Bfen-
ham represent some of the most in-
teresting girls of the town. Girls
just budding into young womanhood,
who will be broadened and straight-
ened in character and disposition
through this phase of humane teach-
ing.
Miss Bolton, the domestic science
teacher, is to be thanked for this or-
ganization, and the young girls who
have her precept and example to fol-
low are indeed fortunate.'
The watchword of the Camp Fire
Girls is to give service and promote
happiness, and the Brenham girls are
not laggards in good deeds.
The hours of their last meeting
were spent in sewing for charity, and
two little children who were desti-
tute of clothing were made more pre-
sentable and cleanly through the fash-
ioning of little rompers by the Camp
Fire Girls.
Through the courtesy of Miss Bol-
ton, I am able to give the following
interesting notes:
"Camp Fire Girls" is an organiza-
tion of girls and women to develop
the home spirit, and make it dominate
the entire community.
It is the means of organizing a
girls daily home life, and shows that
the daily drudgery may be made to
contribute to the beauty of living."
By way of parenthesis I will state
that the mother of one Camp Fire
Girl of Brenham has never been fore
ed to cook a breakfast since her
daughter became a true Camp Fire
devotee.
"This organization uses beautiful
ceremonies, has an appealing ritual,
and bases rank and honor upon per-
sonal merit and attainment,
* It is a social organization to which
any girl may belong and so adaptable
that it fits the needs of the poor
as well as rich, summer as well as
winter, indoors as well as outdoors
They are taught to honor true worth
above worldly positions.

NO CHICAGO PREDICTIONS
Campaign Managers Class Women's
Vote an Unknown Factor.
Chicago, April 6.—rCampalgn man-
agers here admitted they could
make no prediction regarding the
probable trend of the vote to be cast
tomorrow by women at the municipal

two thousand women have registered

political camps expect a total woman
votf of more than 200,000. Ol|g
poiht discussed is whether they will

households. There Is no previous
vote from which to figure.
