Paris, France, April 23.-Theodore
Roosevelt delivered his eagerly a.
waited lecture on citizenship in a
Republic" in the Sorbonne this after
noon. His audience composed all the
members of the French cabinet, stud

Paris ard many distinguished guests.
by whom the occasion was regarded
as the most important feature of the
distinguished Americans visit to
France.
In the course of ais address Mr..
Roosevelt made reference to the sub
iect Of human rights and property
rights. He said:
My position as regards the non-
led rights can be put in a few words.
Civilized society's property rights
must be carefully safeguarded. Ordi-
aarilly and in the great majority of
cases human rights and property
rights are fundamentally and in the
long run. identical. When it clearly
appears there is a real conflict be-
tween them. human rights must have
the upper land. Property belongs to
man and not man to property"

Reclamation for Texas.

San Antonio, Texas, Nov 21.-One
OF the main questions before the Trans
Mississippi Congress, which will con-
vene here tomorrow and continue
through Thursday, will be the applica-
ton of the reclamation act to Texas.
The national congress will be asked
to pass law to this effect. Annually
tremendous amount of water Is lost
down the streams and over waste
places. during the heavy rains, there
being now no opportunity to store it.
II Is held that the idea in reclamation
work in the West, in conserving the
flood waters in the natural basins
which could easily be damned or made
into lakes, is easily applicable to
Texas. Irrigation could be had on
what is now practically worthless land
by the expenditure of comparatively
little on the part OF the government.
The data being collected by Engineer
Rockwell vii ! be valuable to the
reclamation service IL the national con-
gress passes the law.

.C0MMERcIlL CLuB A0TEs

The regular weekly meeting Of the
board of directors will be held at 2
p. m. tomorrow, instead OF 10 a. m.
The change in the hour was made to
enable Prof. C. e. Perry to meet with
the club relative to establishing a
commercial college in Bryan. There
are several committees to be appoint
ed, and the committee on sewers will
report. The -four mill proposition also
may be before the club. Let every
member of the board be present.
Here are number Of paragraphs
clipped from the Commercial Secre-
tary for November, and as every one
is applicable to Bryan and Bryan's
welfare we give them to you:
Every commercial body should be
an ever active dynamo of activity,
sending out stimulating currents of en-
couragement and suggestion to the in
diyiduals.
1T Is all right to seek factories. Go
after them. But don't chase butterflies
and overlook the real, tangible fea-
lures. The hunting of factories should
be encouraged. but this is only one Of
the many functions of commercial club
work and to my mind 1t is not the
most important. The field seems al
most limitless.
when the secretary has a project
to present 1t should have the earnest
attention and careful consideration of
the membership. Many good enter
prise has been lost by reason Of in
difference on the part Of commercial
club members.
When the commercial club workers
meet with the farmers on common
ground, and with them face the prob
lens OF the farm, which are at once
the problems of the town, 1t will be |
the dawning OF an era OF unprecedent-
ed progress and prosperity for all
classes.
"The comemrcial club can accom-
pllsh things only by suggestion and
agitation. Individuals must be the
builders and they expect and deserve
the credit.
Some people seem to think that the
mere act of organizing a commercial /
club should prove productive of great /
Industries. They never figure on the (
financing of such enterprises and seem
lngly expect them to be produced by
the welding of some magic wand. Fac
tories are not built in any such mystic
manner II takes money to build fac
tories. and the development of any
community depends upon the faith and 4
y vi no vi Aht hOinc ptopit.
"The optimistic agitation of a CON-
nercial club is calculated to establish
and create pluck and enter
rise. With these essentials and with
persistent and consistent publicity
work. Texas can be made to grow. and
row rapidly.
There are few towns in Texas that /
AVE no natural advantages, and nat f,
Iral advantages are but the clay In the I

seventeen years ago through-the
work of Mrs. Johnson. 1t was
at first a general institution, but

spreading the wheat on it. Now
thoroughly sprinkle the spread
out wheat and at the same time
shovel it over. Continue to
sprinkle and shovel over the
wheat until it is thoroughly mois-
tened. Next, shovel the wheat
into "a pile and cover with sacks
or blankets for two hours, after
which it should be thorough Y
dried before sowing. Do not al
low the wheat to remain wet too
long after treating, as the germ
mating qualities may be injured.
Place the dried wheat in sacks
which have been dipped in the

sprinkle the grain drill with the
solution before using it. EXer-
else every precaution not to
bring the treated seed in con
tact with any that has been
treated or in bins which have
contained smut wheat. The
wheat should be treated but a
short time before sowing it.

Wednesday afternoon j. r.
Rogers took John A. Wallace, j.

out east of town in his fine auto.
We visited the Wallace faam and
saw several other fields of grain.
Alfalfa is looking fine. The fields
which are being left for seed are
filling in excellent shape. In
order to better care for the seed
this fall, r. l.. Gano has ordered
a huller made especially for al
falfa. This will thresh the crop
much better than the ordinary
cylinder.
Katfir is filling nicely. In
many places on Mr.. Wallace's
land, the kaffir has all filed and
is ripening. AS a general thing,
however, the heads are still
filling
Maize is fast ripening. The
crop this year will be very good,
riding to reports received on
all hands. On our drive we saw
some mighty fine looking fields.
Most of the millet has beer
cut, and is reported very good.
We didn't get to see any broom
corn Wednesday, but severa
persons have reported the crop
this year as being extra good
