DR.. j. l.. Fountain, our Brazos
county representative, introduced
in the Twenty.seventh legislature
bill to abolish the office Of county
treasurer. Interest in the measure
is being revived at this session.
The proposed measure is to
abolish the offices Of county and
city treasurers. The plan is to let
such bank as will make the best
bid for the use Of the money Of the
county or city be the depository of
such funds. Thus by getting in
terest on funds on hand the county
or city would not only save the
salary Of the treasurer, but would
get an income. We suppose the
bank would give bond as the
treasurer does at present.

TAILS OF REJECTION.
They Cause Considerable Concern and
surp lie I'm Paris


Paris. Jan. s0-The foreign ONCE
has received a lengthy Official advice
giving details Of the rejection by the
allies Of the proposal that France and
other countries receive equal treatment
In the Venezuelan settlement
Frnch officials had not doubted that
equal treatment would be recognized.
and this unexpected turn OF events has
caused much surprise and concern.
After comforting with those In chief
authority an Official said that the
French position Is based on two essen
tial principles. The first is that In n
pacific settlement between two soyer-
eign nations each Is entitled TO at least
equal treatment II not. a precedent
would be established. officials say.
which would be incentive to war. as
countries first adopting force in oollec-
ton Of claims would have superior
rights 10 those observing usual pacific
means OF settlement. The view Is
strongly held here that the United
States. France and Belgium are In ef-
feet pacific allies as they aid not resort
to force against Venezuela.
II Is insisted that the present atti-
tgde with the allies tends not only 20
prejudice the rights Of pacific allies,
but also establishes the dangerous
principle that resort to war Is prefer
able to Efforts 20 maintain peace.
Tho second principle Of the French
position is that the France-Venczuelan
settlement Is In the form Of treaty.

lies. and while Venezuela retained full

BRYAN, TEXAS, JAN. 81, 1908

State repositories for the states
money on hand are advocated by
some members Of the legislature
The funds now locked up in the
state treasury, at times, amounts
to a positive disadvantage in the
withdrawal of so much money from
circulation. Besides, it is proposed
to have bids from bankers through
out the state, showing what inter.
est they will pay for funds. Thus
the state would derive a revenue
from the use Of its money. 1t
would be as easy TO provide for the
sofety of the funds of the state by
this means as by the plan now in
vogue, and it may be wise one to
adopt.

Judge Jno. N. Henderson, for the
court Of criminal appeals sitting al
Dallas, delivered an opinion which
is Of the greatest importance al
touching the rights Of newspapers,
Judge Gillaspie of the criminal
court at Houston, barred reporters
for newspapers from the court
room when testimony was being
heard in a murder trial. The edi.
tor Of the Houston Chronicle had
his reporters procure reports Of the
proceedings through other persons
who attended, and published it in
full. For this the judge fined the
editor one hundred dollars. Habeas
corpus proceedings were brought
TO test the case, and the result was
that the court found for the editor
and against the trial judge. So
we will have no secret trials of
murder cases in this state, and
newspaper meu will continue to
have some rights in the matter Of
getting and publishing the news.

p. N. Tobln Of Denison One Of The Insii'
tuie's Directors on Department OF
Agriculture. Statistics, Etc.

Denison, lex, Jan. ZI-f. II
Tobin of this city is one OF tn
members of the board Of director
, of the Agricultural and Mechanlca
College, located at College Station
Mr.. Tobin takes an active interes
in the work OF this very importan
school and with the other mem Der
Of the board is inclined to guarC
very jealously the interests of thu
school.
In conversation with the New
reporter today Mr.. Tobin said
"For some time the board Of direc'
tors of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college has been working
on a proposition to establish in
connection with the college a de.
partment of agriculture, statistics
and farmers institute. We recog.
nize the fact that such depart.
ment would be Of immense advan.
tage TO the interests Of the farmers
OF the state and its establishment
as a branch Of the college, il seem.
ed to the directors, would prove a
most excellent thing. 1t would be
of great value TO the educational
work that is being done at the col
lege and would furnish iniorma-
ton of a reliable nature that is
badly needed in furthering the
work. The head of this depart.
ment would be appointed by the
board Of directors, thus removing
it from all political influence and
putting the appointment in such
shape that the fitness of the man
would govern rather than the
strength of his political pull

able to get the legislature to take

tablishment of such a department,

what complicated by the introduc-
ton Of a measure looking TO the
establishment Of an agricultural
bureau at the state capital. The
ieea of establishing such depart
ment in connection with the col
lege is in harmony with the rec.
concentrations made by Gov. Say.
ers and this recommendation has
the Endorsement of Gov. Lanham.
So far as / am informed there is a
demand in the state for some action
that will provide authentic agri-
cultural statistics of the state and
it seems 10 narrow itself down,
TO a question of whether
il is best for the state 10 establish
an exclusive agricultural bureau
with heavy expense, or make it
an adjunct TO the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. In one in
stance it would be located at Aus
tin, while 10 the other it would be
located at College Station, where
some of the work that is Of practi.
cal benefit to the farmers Of the
state is already being done.
ut seems to me that it is for the
best interests Of all concerned that

Joint Statehood,

There is pretended perturbation: among our democratic brethren of the press over the prospect of joint state hood with New Mexico. Day after day we are informed that the republican congress intends to make one state out of the two territories, and at the same time we are told with confidence that if it is done it will be done over the dead and gory body of Colonel Wilson Therefore, if it should not be done the world will be forced to the conclusion that the house and the senate of the coming congress have been Overawed by the delegate from Arizona.
 There is no prospect of joint state hood and there has never been a pros pect Of it. It is true that it was sug- gested in the course of the statehood fight last winter by some of the enemies Of the omnibus bill. It was regarded at the time either as a bluff or as an at- tempt to divide the forces of the friends of statehood We do not remember who submitted the proposition, but we do remember that MT. Beveridge, the most ardent opponent of the omnibus bill. expressed himself against 1t.
 We remember that it was favorab ply considered only once. and that was by the democratic members of the council or the late Arizona legislature who in reply to a request by Delegate Smith for instructions signified their willing ness to accept statehood with New Mexico if 1t could be obtained in no other way. The action of the demo- cratic council was repudiated by the house and by all the republicans and the rest of the democrats of the terri tory. Since then we have heard of joint statehood only through the demo- cratic press of Arizona and newspapers of New Mexico upon whom the discus sion has been thrust by their Arizona brethren. None of them are in favor of it and nobody else so far as We have heard on either side of the boundary line between the two territories is in favor of it.
 It is agreed by both the friends and enemies or the Id dte OIHilibuS piii liiat such a state as would be created by the joining of Arizona and New Mexico would be entirely too unwieldy; that it would be made up of people of too widely different interests and of too widely different kinds. It would be an abortion of a state fer which no con- gress would like to be held responsible.
 We do not believe that if all the peo- pie of both territories should suddenly become insare and petition the congress for admission as one state. any atten- ton would be paid to the request. We may add that we do not believe that our democratic contemporaries who are filling their columns with this kind of rot are quite insane enough to believe joint statehood in any circumstances 10 be possible.

The Rights of ChInamen.

A day or two ago three Chinamen were arrested at Nogales for being unlawfully in the country. It was found that they were all in possession of certificates of whose genuineness no question was raised. It was, however. the opinion of the inspector that the Chinamen had no business in the coun- try, for while they no doubt at one time had a right 10 be here they had forfeited that right by crossing the line into Mexico.
 We believe that this is matter which has not yet been passed upon. In fact comparatively few of the Chinese cases are passed upon by a court which would have power to hang a man or punish him for felony. Most of these cases are disposed of before commits sioners whose business, we are inclined to believe. is to find out whether or not the Mongolian has a certificate, and to determine the genuineness of it.
 The law makes it clear that if the holder of a certificate leaves the coun- try u SO to HOlue WllHOul the necessary precautions against be- ing barred out on his return. he for feites any right with which he may have been invested by the certificate. But in the Nogales cases it appears that the Chinamen had only crossed the line in the course of business and it does not appear that there was any intent to commit a fraud against the government.
 The only way that such a fraud could have been committed would have been to give another Chinaman in Mexico certificate and thus allow him to en- ter the country. That could have been done as we'll by mailing the certificate to him.
 In crossing he may have violated his right to be in the United States. but we would like to see that matter de-
