BRYAN, TEXAS, FEB 8, 1908

The vote for governor at the last
general election is exceeded very
far in several counties by the total
number of poll taxes paid before
the first Of the month. Our own
neighboring county of Grimes paid
about a thousand more polls than
the total vote for governor at the
last election. In Dallas, FL Paso,
Harrison, Bell, Shelby, Rusk and
many other counties, the same sit
uation exists, onlyin some of them,
the proportion OF polls compared
with gubernatorial vote is as two
10 one. This shows that as a reve.
nue. getNr the new constitutional
amendment is great saccess, but
as an electoral reform move il is a
failure. IL is better TO have the
revenue than not, but both objects
THE comparative publication Of
the ballot and the revenue too, can
be attained by a little legisla.
ton, requiring the tax payer to pay
his money and have the tax receipt

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Argument Tor lis Establishment at COL

Austin.

Bryan, Texas, Feb. $40 The
News: As a practical follower oI
agriculture, not only for the means
Of living, but as q chosen occu'
patton through love for the noble
calling, | am always wide awake
to all topics of interest to the agri'
cultural progress of our country,
Since boy in my early teens in
my farm and garden papers and
journals, have read of>and adj
mired the progress and good works
of the agricultural bureaus and
farmers institutes in other states
Of our union and longed Tor the
time to come when my home and
native state, the grand state of
Texas, would awaken to the i'm
portance of the establishing of such
institutions for herself.
So that it is with no little graft
fication that / have lately noted
the starting of the movement and
eagerly watched its progress; and
had | the power, with jealous care
would | guide it in the safe and
sure channel to successful land
ing where it would be established
on solid foundation from which
il would shed abroad its usefulntss
over the whole land. Where its
crescent light would continue to
shine brighter and stronger, unpol-
luted by the simmer of rohtics.
Is such a landing place and fonn-
dation at Austin, or is it at the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col.
lege? Most emphatically would !
say the latter place.
If there ever was an institution
whose office should seek the man,
it is an agricultural institution,
and so il must If it is to be a per-
manent success. The history Of
such institutions as far back as
you may search tell US this is true
and, what is truer than history?
Financially it would be extreme
ly bad policy for the state to es'
tablish the department of agricul.
ture at Austin, not only from the
fact of first cost being much great
or, but from the great loss that
would naturally incur from the
of a work in the same
cause. The state has invested in
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College an enormous amount Of
money since the day of its incep-
ton, which has been growing in
year by year-money
that could not possibly be invested
If it would be, all at one time and
serve the purpose. To establish
The department Of agriculture, sta
.istics, and farmers institute at
Austin would cause this vast use
.ul and not easily replaced invest
nent to deteriorate in value in
way that money alone could not
-ecuperate.
By all means let Us consolidate
he forces, new and old, in one
grand march Of progress in agri-
culture: turn the new stream into
he old and let them swell each
,ther in power and usefulness as
hey onward flow.

Wolf Children.

The adoption of human infants by
wild and carnivorous auadrupeds has
obtained more or Less credence among
the vulgar from. fhe earliest ages, and
while such today are for the most part
poohpoohed as idle tales the skeptics
have little idea of the evidence that has
bee6 offered in substantiation thereof.
Half = century ago the iconoolast
who would have dared question that
Romulus ard Remus owed their nurtur.
ing to she wolf would have been
laughed to scorn by most lovers of the
classics. Twenty five years later the ami:
NAL was substituted, on the part Of tu-
tors, by woman named Lupa-a most
conclusion, derived solely
!. from imagination. Today the tendency
to ignore all sentiment causes such ideas
to receive scant courtesy, and when sem
timent is introduced as evidence is met
by the undeniable statement that tho
same miracle is accredited with preserv'
. ing the lives-of many gods and heroea
Of antiquity. Consequently if single

Aluminium and Water.

The fact is demonstrated that alu-
miniurn is as excellent purifier of wa
ter as there is. The salts of this metal
are insoluble in water, and consequently
it is plain that when these salts are
formed the water can be strained and
the impurities removed therefrom. Per-
maps the most practicable method Of puri-
tying water by this means is the trough
method, as it is called, the trough be-
ing composed of plates of aluminium
and zinc or iron, six or eight inches
apart. One end of the tank affords an
entrance for the volume of water which
passes over the top Of one plate and
thence under the plate next to it, this
being accomplished by the fact that the
elevation of the several plates is differ
ent. In connection with this tank or
trough there is an electrical generator
Of moderate size, and, though Alumni
um will not form the negative pole OF
current, the other plates used will
Now, as it is always the case that when
an electric current comes in contact
with water in this manner it decom-
poses a certain portion of the fluid, a.
it were, the result Of such decomposi-
tion is that ozone is formed and oxygen
freed-the meaning Of this being the alb
solute extinction of life i'll any microbes
