SCHOOL BOOK TRUST.
An Austinite Thinks it is Rob
bing the People of Mil
lions Of Dollars.

Austin, Tex, July 24,-
There is no greater menace to
the public school system Of
Texas than the hold the school
book trust has upon it, said
a gentleman TO the Express
correspondent, "and, to quote
the language OF a we'll known
North Texas gentleman, / find
that the text books used in our
public schools cost the children
more than four times the
amount ofthe public free school
appropriation for the whole
State. | have heard it charged
that certain school superinten-
deuts in Texas were paid more
by the book trust than their
salaries as superintendent
amounted to, but whether or
not the charge is true | am not
prepared to say. l do know,
however, that outrageous prices
are charged for text books and
that books not worth "a cent
over a quarter are sold for a
dollar. The people who publish
these books have no competi
ton and are therefore at lib
erty TO charge rs they please.
Now, this should be changed,
and the change should be made
at once. do not mean that the
State should print her own
books, for such a thing would
open up too big field for cor
ruption. But what l mean is
that the State board of educa
ton should adopt uniform text
books to be used in the public
schools, own the copyright OF
these books and let the print
lug Of them out 10 the lowest
bidder. This would cut the price
now paid for school books from
so to 80 per cent and would
make it possible for the poorer
classes of children TO purchase
the necessary text books. This
is the best way to knock ont
the Infamous book trust that
is now robbing the people of
Texas of millions of dollars an
nually, and the sooner it is
done the better it will be for
the school children of Texas, if
not for some of the school
superintendent. l think the
change can he made without
any Legislative interference,
but if not, then the next Leg
islature should lose no time in
passing a law that will make
it compulsory with the board
of education TO do as l have
suggested, which il the only
sure plan. SAN Antonio Elk

BRYAN WILL NOT HAVEIT.
Instructed His Name With
drawn If Sewall Was Turn
ed Down.

fS''S SNiANpb ot thO NOhFCh
ton hall tonight that Bryan
had announced his determine
ton not TO accept the populist
nomination for president in
case of the rejection OF Sewall
was based upon the following
telegram exchanged between
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Jones, chair
man of the democratic national
committee:
st. Louis, Mo, July 24.-To
William J. Bryan, Lincoln:
The populists will nominate
vice president first. If not
Sewall, what shall We do? |
favor your declining in that
case. Answer quick.
JAMES JONES, Chairman.
Lincoln, Neb., July 24-Sen
ator j. K. Jones, Chairman
Democratic National Commit
tee, ST. Louis: 1 entirely agree
with you. Withdraw my name
if Sewall is not nominated.
WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
Senator Jones declined, VIXEN
seen, to express any opinion
beyond that expressed in his
telegram. He said that he had
placed Mr.. Bryan's dispatch
in the hands Of friends at the
convention, but he had done
nothing more toward withdraw
ing Mr.. Bryan's name.
Soon after the message was
received Senator Jones had a
copy Of it made and dispatched
the original to Hon. 7. NJ. Pat
terson of Colorado, who was
then at the Auditorium, by A.
N. Smith of the Little Rock
Gazette. An effort was made
to contine the information to a
few of the leaders in the con
vention hall, but within half an
hour it had spread throughout
the press gallery and began to
be whispered among tie del
egates on the floor.
Senator Jones said later that
he was convinced that he had
pursued the proper course in
sending his dispatch and that
Mr.. Bryan as a self-respecting
and honorable man could have
done no less than be had done
in asking that his name be
withdrawn after it had been
decided..to sacrifice his compan-
ion on the ticket. Mr.. Bryan's
friends say that the dispatch is
not necessarily u refusal Of the
nomination, but that it is a
simple way of expressing his
disapproval of the course decid
ed upon with reference to
SewalI.
The populist supporters of
Mr.. Bryan express regret that
the kilograms were written and
say if the populist convention
had been allowed to succeed
with its plan it wauld have
been an easy matter to arrange
an understand between the vice
presidential candidates.
There is talk of an effort to
secure Mr.. Watson's declination
of the nomination.

a BOON TO TIE STATE.
Julian Sonntag Says 1t Will.
Stimulate Our Exporta-
ton.
IS A CHECK AT BOTH ENDS.
The Dishonest Dealer. Whether Here
or in the East, Will Meet His
Waterloo.

According to Julian Sonntag, president
of the Manufacturers and Producers AS
sociation, the trademark lately adopted
by that organization will prove a remedy
entirely eficacious in protecting Cali
fornian industry, and will be the lever to
raise our exports to the prominence they
intrinsically deserve.
More especially Will this label assist in
putting Californian fruit where it properly
belongs in Eastern markets.
81 have been informed y said Mr.. SoDn-
tag Yesterday, "that certain Baltimore
firms intend to put peaches on the market,
as we'll as other fruits, and label them as
coming from California. This fruit is of
inferior quality, and is picked up in the
Central and Middle Eastern States, and if
this thing be allowed it will greatly niure
the demand for Californian production.
Before the association adopted this
trademark we were wholly unguarded in
an event of this kind, but now we can
and will make it very uncom Portable for
these firms if they carry out their inten-
ton. We will prosecute these people to
the full extent of the law.
"Phe Manufacturers and Producers As
sociation will act in harmony with the
Fruit Exchange and endeavor to prevent
this attempt to injure. our industries. If
every packer and producer belonging TO
the association will use the trademark
there can be no damage done whatever in
the East by Eastern firms.
"The association Is Incorporated under
the laws of the State and is registered and
compels its member to put their names
and addresses under the trademark, where
used. 1t further prohibits any producer
OF packer putting understandable or un-
heaIthful goods on the market and retains
the right of canceling the contract entered
into between them and the association
1T is my firm belief that this plan will
do more good to California expectation
than anything that has been devised yet.
1t will prevent not only inferior goods in
the market from Eastern dealers repre-
sented as coming from here, but will also
prevent dishonest shippers here from in
juring the trade, because if they use the
trademark their goods must be OF the best
grade. California has been cheated out OF
a rightful income long enough by the me-
farious system practiced both here and in
the East, but this / think will effec.ually
put quietus upon it. l shall make this a
personal matter and see that the trade
mark gets all the use and credit it
deserves"

Occasionally farmer Is heard to ask
how the weeds can be killed. but he
does not realize that II by some rapid
process they could all be dispatched
new legions would fill their places at
once II the conditions which they enjoy
remain. What farmers need to compre-
bend is that without some radical mis-
take In the management OF their land
the daisies would never have gained
such foothold. All plants. including
weeds. settle and thrive where the COM
petition for life is such that they can
enter into It and prosper A good stand
OF grass leaves no room nor any hope
for weeds. 1t is not In well titled fields
that Canada thIstles flourish. but in
neglected pastures and by the roadsldes.
In the contest with the best agricultural
practice they cannot prevail. The rem
edy for weeds is to keep the land busy
with a good crop on II. and this means
that the farmers must give persistent
and connected thought to his business
II the daisies crowd out the grass, II Is
because the meadow has been neglected
and the grass has begun to fail. and
wherever there Is a vacancy by the
failure of the grass every enrerprisins
weed finds a rightful opportunity to es
tablish itself. II the farmer asks. there
fore. what will kill the daisies. there I.
one answer: better farming.
