somewhat the same views as the ma
tives of the Sulu archipelago. who
count it an honor to Stay Christian,
They seek to Stay priests of the Chris

Children for the Schools.

The school amendment voted
on in Tuesdays election has car
ried and credit for this victory
of intelligence belongs to the
newspapers of the state which
made the voters so familiar with
the importance of the addition tC
the constitution that there was
not the customary neglect which
is the usual fate of such consti-
tutional changes in Texas.
The amendment provides that
in common school districts
bonds may be issued for school
purpose and a tax as high as soc
on the 81 levied to meet the
bonds. Heretofore the highest
tax possible in independent dis
tricts was 20c. The last legisla-
ture passed a law permitting a
25c tax and on the Stength of
this law dozens of school dis
tricts in the state prepared for
new buildings. Some of them
even voted bonds and began
work. Then the courts held the
law unconstitutional but TO the
everlasting credit of Texas, not a
single district repudiated its
bonds, tho the courts decisions
gave them all the opportunity.
Passage of the school amend
ment Tuesday now removes the
constitutional bar heretofore eX-
listing and scores of school dis
trictS can now devote to the
cause of education double the
amount Of money that was pos
sible before.
And the result means more
and better schools for Texas, an
achievement that entities the
year 1905 to red letter space on
the educational calendar of the
state.
But the passage of the amend
ment is not a complete solution
for the meagre educational facil-
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-11-13

tiles now prevailing in many
rural sections of Texas. There
will remain too many five months
terms, too light attendance dur
ing cotton picking and chopping
seasons unless the parents OF
Texas do their part.
Every boy and girl of Texas
should get free education at least
eight months in the year for
eight years. The drudgery of
farm life is too often a bar to the
am bilious boy or girl who wants
a better education.
1t is the duty of parents to
overcome the need for child
labor on the farm except in those
tasks which do not interfere with
school hours. Diversitication,
less COTTON, more crops, more
hogs. more darying, more poul-
try raising these are things
which will help solve the prob
lem of family income and at the
same time let the children go to
school where they belong.
Let's have not only more
schools for the children but more
children for the schools and
Texas, as well as every family in
the rural districts, will be the
gainer.-Ft. Worth Telegram.

For King Edwards Christmas table

as much as twenty-five pounds. The
king will make presents of few of
his cygnets to members of the royal
family. The kings poulterers, Messrs-

probably have about half a dozen
young swans for sale. The price about
40 shillings a pair, makes them lux

- N that day the Argus staff had
had an unusually trying time
w. of it. To begin with, the press
dispatches had consisted chief
~ of Russian war news, which had
been pouring in steadily all day. filled
with an unusual and most discOurag-
ing quantity of unpronounceable and
unspellable names-that is, to any one
except an expert in Russian and Asiat-
ic nomenclature. To an ordinary ed
itor, proofreader or typesetter they
were simply SO many jagged mountain
chains of consonants, with an Occa
sional vowel thrown in for good meas
ure. To cap the climax one of the
hand set columns got knocked into pi
just as the paper was about ready for
the press, which made d great improve
ment in the spelling of some of the
names, but ruined the article in other
respects, SO that it WIS necessary to
reset it, which was done, putting all
hands ON the work and rushing it
through at race horse speed in order
not to delay the edition more than
could be helped.
The result was-Hell. the Argus got
out about on time, bet as managing
editor of the paper Earney Blake had
no reason to feel proud of that par
ticular column of war news as it APP
peared in print Some of it was still
pi, but it came out all right in the
second edition, also in the third and
fourth. Blake saw to that personally,
proprietor of the Daily Argus, in some
time during the afternoon, and, know
ing him to be of an eXcitable tempera-
ment-the colonel often Swore the Ar
gus with it's blunders would be the
death of him-he did not care partic-
ularly to have him see that dispatch as
originally printed.
The colonel failed to show up at the
usual hour, however, and Barney was
rather glad than otherwise that he
didn't.
What he needed-in fact, what the
entire Argus staff needed just then
was a little wholesome recreation in
stead of an interview with or lecture
from Colonel Starbuck to
take off the tension instead of screw
ing it up tighter.
1t is no wonder, then, that when an
unexpected opportunity for innocent
fun presented itself Barney joyfully
and eagerly seized upon it and made
the most of it.
The opportunity in question came in
the shape of caller-oae of the oldest
looking fish that had drifted into the
Argus Office in many moons.
One quick glance at the linen buster
which hung loosely about his robust
form and the last years straw hat
