Representative STAMPS
OPPOSES C0LLEGE ATHLETICS
Says Boys in the Burrows Object to
Being Taxed for Muscular
Training.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]

Austin, Texas, Jan. 26.-The promi-
hence given to the pink socked athlete
at A. & NJ. college and the University
of Texas came to the surface in the
most pronounced manner when the
university appropriation bill came be-
fore the members of the lower house.
1t was maintained by number of the
leading legislators that too much at
tention is given to athletic training,
to the detriment of mental improve
ment. Representative Stamps con-
tention was that the boys in the fur
rows object to paying taxes that so-
called athletes might get muscular
training at the expense of the state.
The bill brought on the greatest
talkfest so far during the present
term, and also brought out the fact
that legislators do not take kindly to
so much athletics and the develop
ment of the sporty turn of mind at the
expense of thorough mental training.

ity or nothing but hot air. The time
for argument has passed and the time
for action has come. Success means a
stupendous endeavor, a straining of
every nerve to the utmost extremity
of effort, life and death struggle
with sweating of blood and gasping
for breath perhaps. If so it must be,
let it be so. Better anything than
failure.
Failure means decay, dry rot, death.
There is no ues trying to pooh-pooh
this statement, for it is the bitter
truth. Is any citizen willing to be
responsible for failure under such mo-
mentous circumstances? Whoever
fails to do his level best will be to be
blamed. And the shirkers will be
known and branded with infamy, as
they richly deserve to be.

JOINT MEETING OF UNIVERSITY
AND A. G. M. COLLEGE BOARDS.
VIII Discuss Proposed Constitutional
Amendment Separating the
Two institutions.

The first meeting of the newly APP
pointed board of directors of A. & NJ.
college Is to be held at Austin tomor-
row, at which time there will be a
meeting also of the regents of the
University of Texas, and the two
boards will have joint session.
There are but two members of the
old board of directors on the new
board. These are Hon. Walton Peteet,
of Fort Worth, and Hon. Ed R. Kone,
commissioner of agriculture, ex officio
"a member. The new members of the
board are Hon. l.. j. Hart, of San An
tonic; Hon. W. A.. Trenckmann, of
Austin, publisher of a leading German
paper and formerly member of the
legislature from Austin county; Hon.
John L. Guionn, of Ballinger; Hon.
Paul NAPLES, of Fort Worth; DR.. ].
Allan Kyle, of Houston, an alumnus
of the college who has always taken
great interest in its affairs, and Hon.
Charles Davis, of Brazos county, for
merly a member of the legislature
from Ell Paso county.
The object of the joint meeting of
the regents and the directors is to
discuss the proposed constitutional
aroanduapt canorotipo tbo ,,p;ya-e;t,,
and A. & NJ. college. The two former
boards held joint meeting and de-
cided upon this procedure more than
a year ago. The two institutions are
operated separately and each is in
dependent of the other The difference
between them is that the university
has state endowment of a million
acres of land and A. & VI. college has
no endowment, and although the col
ege is designated as branch" of
he university by the constitution. it
loes not get cent from the univer.
'ity lands.
Cols R. T. Miner, president of A. &
VI. college, left yesterday for Austin
o attend the meeting of the board
# directors tomorrow.
The college has now a thousand
tudents. 1t is being maintained by
he moneys appropriated by the
legislature two years ago,
t time when but half as many stu
ents as are now enrolled were in
tendance. Every department is
rowded and funds are needed to keep
p the work which so many of the
oys of Texas are clamoring for. |

The bone of contention in the senate
yesterday was the McNealus bill. pro-
yiding that ten per cent of the voters
of city can compel the holding of
party primaries for nominating candi-
dates for city officers. Party politics
and city affairs have very little in
common and there is no good reason
why party lines should be drawn in
city elections. The less politics and
the more business there is in city
administration the better.

Senator Culberson attributes the
victory of the democrats in the No
vember election to the fact the party
stood for ''its basic and structural
philosophers. Every student of the
political history of this country knows
that the democratic party has never
failed, sooner or later, to win victories
when it was true to its basic princi-
pies. And one of these basic principles
is tariff for revenue only, with
strong emphasis on the "only."

II is one of the most satisfactory can
vases ever painted at the White House.
For one thing. those who go TO see IL al
tho gallery Of Frederick Keppel d Co, IN
This CITY. may be sure that they are look
ing upon an absolutely faithful study oil
the sitter. This portrait is eXtraordl-
narily lifeuke, as the saying goes both as
regards the physiognomy and the pose.
The fact is the more interesting because
Presidential portraits have often way
of not quite coming off incidentally
Mr.. Zorn has done in this work some OF
the cleverest painting in his career His
style is nervous and direct. Sometimes
his vivid brushwork is SO swift ana
forcible that il seems merely hard ana
qlittering. In the present instance It
leaves much pleasanter impression.
The portrait was painted in the Blue
Room at the White House. and that
color enters admirably into the back
ground. Altogether. the Swedish painter
has achieved a success, making a good
portrait that IS also an effective work oil
art.
