Here is a story that we think
real romantic, and all temperance
people can tell it as a convincing
argument in favor Of their very
righteous cause. Once a young
man loved a girl whose pa was
rich and owned a candy shop,
but the young man was poor and
couldn't marry the rich candy
mans daughter. A. bad man
offered the young man S25 if he
would be a drunkard, and as
they started into Il saloon the
young man turned to the bad
man and said, "Got thee behind
me satan" He walked away
and just few steps from the sa-
loon found a pockotbook on the
sidewalk which contained two
million dollars in gold, So he
married the rich candy mans
daughter There is a divine law
of rewards mentionod in the
Bible, and this poor boy certainly
got his on double quick time.

A PLEA FOR BETTER COUNTRY
SCHOOLS.

The presidents of six denomina-
tional colleges in the United States
have held a conference and issued an
address to the people of Texas urging
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment giving country school dis
tricts the right to levy taxes for the
building of school houses and main
tenance of schools on equal terms with
towns and cities. After giving Stats
tics to show the unenviable rank Of
Texas as compared with other states
the address concludes:
Is there an intelligent, honest man
in Texas who is willing to have con.
tinued without protest a policy that
keeps the door of educational opportu-
nifty locked TO thousands of confiding
innocent children? We think not.
The pending constitutional amend
ment, relating to public free schools,
If adopted in the November (l90S)
election, win authorize the legislature
to enact a law giving force and effect
TO the principle of local self govern
ment in providing good public free
schools in both urban and country
districts. Surely no right minded per-
son will question the wisdom and the
justice of permitting the people to pro-
vide, with their own means, for the
support of their own schools in which
to educate their own children. The
adoption of this amendment will linn
IL the rate of taxation for school pur-
poses in the country school districts,
and in the towns and villages incor-
porated for free school purposes only
to soc. on each 500 valuation OF
property. Before any tax whatever
could be levied II would have to be au-
thorized by majority vote Of the
property taXpaying voters.
Texas needs longer school terms,
better schoolhouses, country high
school, larger number Of thoroughly
qualified and capable teachers. The
adoption of this amendment will con-
tribute TO the attainment OF all OF
these desirable ends. We, therefore,
appeal TO the people of Texas for the
support of the pending constitutional
amendment relating TO public free
schools in the November 190S) cleo
tion, and ask the religious and secular
press of the state TO assist us in plac-
ing this matter properly before the
people. 81
