Politic* and the A. A M. College.
,fVie want to take the Agricultural
and Mechanical college of Texas out
of politics," is the statement heard by
every friend of the college who speaks
in public on any subject, whether he
be a candidate for office or is one of
the great army of farmers who attend
the farmers' congress every year to
talk over things which interest them.
Yet the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college of Texas is not in politics,

ture for enough to maintain it from
year to year and to accommodate the
Texas boys who want to share in the
educational advantages that are prom-
ised by the state in its covenant with
the federal government, entered into a
third of a century ago. Politics is BV
tie talked of at the college. The mem-
bers of the board of directors are pro-
fessional and business men who are
called to their position* by reason of
their high standing in the state. Some
of them are lawyers, some newspaper
publishers, and some are former stu-
dent* or graduates of the college.
They do not ask a man who applies
for a position whst his politics is;
they do not stop to find out whether
be wa* for Tom, Dick or-Harry for
this office or that. He is elected be-
cause of their belief, after examining
his credentials, that he is fitted for tUt
position which is vacant. Men to teach
technical subjects can not be picked
up every day in the year everywhere,
and they cau not all be found iu Tex-
as. Therefore, as in all other institu-
tions of higher educktion. there are
men at the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College of Texas from many state*
of the union, men who graduated from
many universities and colleges and
who came well recommended for their
positions. It Is a safe statement that
no man or set of men could say for
whom a majority of those forming the
community at the Agricultural and
Mechanical college of Texas will vote
for governor, or for any other position
on the stale ticket, and no man or set
of men has sought to crystallise the
voting strength at the college. Three
candidates for governor hnve been to
the college to have “a look around.”
Neither of these, candidates made a
speech at the college, because CoL

Another Aviation Record Broken.
Daniel Kinet, a Belgian aviator, last
Sunday broke the ,world's record for
an aeroplane flight with a passenger,
remaining in the air for two hours and
fifty-one minutes. At Chalons Sur

with a passenger of two hours and
twenty minutes. Previous to that Or-

remained in the air at Berlin last Sep-
tember with a passenger one hour snd

Oqeer Neglects to Lock Cell Door.
A Jail delivery that Is not without

Denison Tuesday morning by six pris-

prison was left unlocked, and one of
the men discovered th# sin of omission
and he and his coaarades departed qui-
etly. One negro refused to go with
the six escaping prisoners and re-
mained till the delivery was discov-
ered. The prisoners who escaped wene
four white men and two negroes. All
were in on petty misdemeanor charges
except one negro, who is wanted in
Bowie, Texas, on a charge of raising a
check. The door was left unlocked by

was unable to pay his fine for drunk-

Airship* to Replace Battleship*.

says, will replace th# tardier ships of
