d'anaires at washington during the
absence OF Ambassador Won Holleben

The Inference naturally follows that
Baron Speck Won Sternberg Ia to sue

the fact that Chancellor Won Buelow

WORK FOR THE NEW LEGISLA-
TURE.

The legislature convenes next
Tuesday with no specially crying
demands TO be enscted into law
no momentous reform" movements
10 be boosted-or to be killed, as
the case might be. The great
"trust" spectre does not disturb the
legislative mind as formerly, al
though the trusts are still with US.
This legislature has plenty OF
important work. 10 do neverthe.
less. Il they will only do it, and do
II we'll. There is plenty Of time to
give mature and careful attention
To questions Of state affairs, such
as properly providing for the state
institutions, encouraging the bet
terment Of the public roads, etc.
etc, A public road law that will
put the conyicls on the roads would
be good thing to consider, among
many others. The constitutional
amendment regarding suffrage If,
OF course, to beenacted into law.
But one of the most important
things that will press for attention
il the proper provision for the en-
largement aud growth Of such i'm
portant state institutions as the a.
q NJ. college. This college has
never been studied Dy the legisla.
tive MUD maturely, and has never
had proper consideration. The acts
establishing the university and it,
branches, the plans of the wise
men who laid the foundations for
higher education of the youth Of
Texas should be studied, aud their
purpose OWNED. II this were
doue, the effort that will be made
by the authorities of the University
OF Texas to set up a duplicate Of
the A. q NJ college at Austin,
would have not the slightest chance
OF success. Such an effort Is to be
made, and friends Of industrial ed
ucation throughout the state should
prepare to oppose the move. II
we are TO have technical school
let's have a good one, all concen.
trated, so that monty spent for
equipment will do the most good
not lot Of different schools, di.
vided and scattered over the state,
no one strong or we'll equipped, and
without unity Of purpose, Us would
be the result Of the policy proposed.
