Austin COIicgc.

10 the Editor Of the Dallas Herald;
AS one of the commission which met
last week at the city Of Austin, for the
purpose of considering the removal OF
Austin college from its present loca'
ton ut Huntsville, to some other more
accessible point, | wish to commune
cate to the friends Of the enterprise the
action of the commission In relation
to the proposed donation which was
sent to US from many Of the citizens OF
Dallas. The secretary furnished me-
with the following extract from the
minutes:
"Reso!ved, That the commission
thank the citizens of Dallas for their
proposed donation, and recommend
that it be SO arranged, through Rev DR..
Smith and Ruling Elder l., G. Reed,
members Of this commission, rs that II
can be iiually approved by the COM
mission at their adjourned meeting in
Dollas ON the 18th of March,
II Is with sincere congratulations
that make known this action to those
who have shown mn interest in this
matter Educational advantages are
the great levers to elevate aud ennoble
community. Ifthese can be given
to our rapidly growing city, it viii he
seen in II few years that the amounts
invested will return ladencd with the
heaviest dividends. In its present To-
cation, Austin college has upwards OF
one hundred pupils, with three excel
lent professors, and when removed to
Dallas we hope and believe that 1t will
more than double that number and
will be an ornament to the city. In
the late meeting no final action could
be taken on the proposed removal, be-
cause it was necessary to comply with
certain legal acquisitions first. If
then, on the 18th OF March, it is found
that Dallas still shows the greatest de-
sire and manifests the present liberali-
ty in the matter, the question will then
be definitely settled,
In order then, to carry out the action
proposed in the resolution Of the COM
mission, | would request the friends of
the enterprise to meet at the City
bank, on Saturday afternoon, February
18th, at 3 O'clock. a. r. SMITH.

From the New York SUM-,
The iutuers OF the country arc very
much exercised over the application
now pending before Congress for the
extension of II patent granted to III. A.
Wells, April 20, 1916, for II machine for
forming hat bodies. They claim that
Wells was not the inventor of any
considerable portion of the machine,
and declare that for twenty-five years
not a single machine has been made or
used according to his plan. Neverthe-
less ring of manufacturers who con-
troll the patent have secured a reissue
of it four times: Wells himself died
in 1851, and the patents were bought
up by the ring, who have since used
them us the basis of monopoly far
more outrageous than the sewing ma
chine monopoly They compel all the
manufacturers in the country to send
their fur to them to be manufactured
ut their own prices.
The actual cost of makinCa hat body
SIS said to be less than two cents, vet
the ring charge from six to twenty
cents-a profit of from POO to 1000 per
cent on every hat.
The actual loss to the hatters of the
country 10y this means over what the
cost would be if allowed to manufac-
ture their own bodies is forty-two per
cent, and that, of course, the public
must pay to swell the gains of this gil
gantic moLopoly. If any dealer dares
complain they refuse to make any for
him, thus ut once destroying his bust
ness By this mpnnS gnnp nf our n1.,st

ON reviewing our remarks in one or
two articles touching n constitutional
convention, we are led to believe that
we may be misunderstood. In the
earnestness of zeal in behalf of what
we regard as right, and especially in
the necessary haste with which daily
editorials have to be often written, we
sometimes use stronger language than
may be necessary to convey the
thoughts intended.
We desire to say that in no case have
we desired to impugn the motives OF
members who oppose n convention.
We have too long and well known
many of them as upright and true
men to intimate anything unworthy
of them. We think they have made II
great mistake rs Democrats aud repre-
sentative men, but doubt not their
sincerity, and this, so far as motives
are concerned, is as far as we have de-
sired to go.

OUR correspondent Granger" in

been very close reader of our paper
on the subject of Oranges We have
made tia point to copy frequently arti-

was received. Having been greatly
engrossed In all those questions con

government In Texas--questions in our
view paramount to all others-Ne con-
fess that we have not given the Grange
movement the investigation it was
entitled to. But we are equally frank
to say that from its rise in the Western
States we have wished it success, and
INDUCED strong hope that it would nc
complish great good in many States,
by breaking up political corruption
and breaking down rings and monop-
olies. We have not thought that the me-
cessity for such an organization was by
any means as great in Texas as In the

The Convention.

The State Convention yesterday at Au-
gusta was more fully attended than many
previous meetings Of a similar character
when there has been no question of candidacy
to bring out full attendance. The re-nom-
ination Of Gov. Dingley has been conceded not
only as mere party usage but as a fitting re-
cognition of the fidelity with which he has
has discharged his duties the present year.
The make up of the Convention plainly in
dictated that there has been no falling off in
the representatives character of the annual
party meetings. The rural towns were more
generally represented at Augusta yesterday
than were the cities.
The proceedings Of the Convention are pub
lished elsewhere. The resolutions on the
question of the hour, the currency, will meet
the hearty approval of the Republicans of
Maine as they did of the Convention which
adopted them. allf4ls.if1Hi.l A.a

Mr.. Atkinson Of Embden, somewhat noted
for the formulation of tedious resolutions, af-
ter the reading of thefreport of the committee
proposed resolution in the place of the third
which declared for constitutional amendment
providing that the rate of interest shall not ex-
coed three per cent. Mr.. Atkinson unfolded
political economy at some length, denounced
the salarylgrab, declared for Gov. Dingley for
United States Senator, and in general way
freed his mind The Convention was not up to
Mr.. Atkinson's standard and did not give much
attention to his resolution.
After the adoption of the resolutions report
ed by the committee, the following offered by
the Hon. Joshua Nye of Augusta, was adopt
ed as an amendment:
RESOLVED, That we recognize not only the correct
of the principle but the Importance and necess-
ty ofjudicous prohibtory liquor laws believing them
to be superior to any plan of license local option
and that the enactment, maintenance and enforce.
ment of such laws is a duty which we owe to the

COLLECTOR SIMMONS has been on to
Washington and interviewed the President.
He told his THAT he didn't intend to have
any dronessand loungers about the Boston
custom house, and was determined to cut
down expenses to the lowest amount con-
sistent with the proper administration of his
office. OF course the President approved
this determination as will every man who be-
lieves that custom house is not an aims
house for the support of the lazy political
hummer. The trouble has been. however,
that Mr.. Simmons civil service reform
has been founded on the notion that all oppo-
nents to Butler were drones, and all support
ers indispensable officials.

man now lving,-so much praised indeed as

gize for ever having signed Mills petition for
woman suffrage. His reason for this recan-
tation is that he knows of woman in this
country "who employed her husband as a
hired laborer." Well, perhaps the man
wasn't good workman, but we really ought
not to condemn woman just for showing a
little natural partiality for her husband.

involved was quite large, two of the Massachus

At certain seasons meteors dart across the firma-

they quickly vanish, while the fixed stars remain.
In the medical armament the great vegetable nvig-
heed star Of the first magnitude. Little meteors, in
the shape Of limitations, bearing various names now
and then attempt gmmering competition with it,
but they disappear from the eld of VISION leav-
ing the glory of the true remedy unimpared. The
number OF these will-o, thewisps that have to
grief within the last twenty years is beyond compu-

onies OF extinguishment. The standard tonic and
Alternative that cures and prevents many distress
ing diseases, and which no debtated invalid ever
took without receiving a wonderful accession of
strength and vitality only derives increased popu-
lariry from the attempts of charlatans to their
failures in the Hostteter groove.
