The question is, does an oyster
suffer any more at being eaten alive
than it would if it were taken out
of its she'll first and executed by
having its neck wrung, or being
knocked in the head, before being
eaten? Or isn't it perhaps a degree
or two more cruel to plunge the un-
happy bivalve when still alive into
boiling grease or impaling it on a
stick to broil it over the Goals, then
to kill it by eating it alive. Per-
haps DR.. Wiley is right about the
succulent victim of mans appetite
suffering agony in the process Of
being treated with tobasco sauce
and then devoured while still alive,
but what would the eminent cham
pion of the suffering bivalve have
us do? 1t is just a question of
whether the oyster shall suffer in
being eaten, or whether mankind
shall suffer for want of oysters on
the half shell.

As to Our Feathered Friends.

San Antonio Express.
Not only a spirit Of humanitarian
ism, but a desire to prevent the ex-
,Sou,h should prompt every Southern
termination of the birds of the
man and woman, boy and girl, TO
protect our feathered friends from
slaughter. especially those which
contribute SO much to our happiness.
The songsters are fast disappearing,
and in their places are coming such
birds as the English sparrow, birds
that, as a rule, live in towns. kill
little real benefit to the world. No
one is supposed to kill song birds,
struction Of the feathered tribe goes
on every year. Commenting on the
situation, the Brownsville Herald,
edited by a lady, urges women to
give less encouragement to the kill

plumage on their hats. After call
ing attention to the law prohibiting
the killing Of birds, the Herald says:
1t is not to be supposed, how
ever, that women as a rule are
Ihard-hearted or Indifferent to
the welfare of the farmers, who
are the greatest sufferers on
account of the slaughter of
birds. Most women really love
the song birds and few would
readily consent to have even
one feathered songster slain for
their own adornment, The sub
ject just happens not to have
been put SO as to secure the
cooperation Of the ladies. The
real friends Of the birds should
use some means to induce the
fashion leaders to assist them
and the crusade in behalf of our
feathered friends would o be
a success.

The school book award for the
state Of Texas will probably be made
next week, by the school book board.
1t will probably be the largest con-
tract ever made in the Unite States.
There are yer n million children
of school age in Texas. Estimating
the average per capita expense for
books at SO, the amount involved
will be something over 5000, 900.
That amount equals the cost Of the
capitol building at Austin.

That Ten Cents.

The move to take away even
the 10c per diem paid by the
state to Texas convicts which
Mr.. Robbins Of Smith county
proposes to introduce in the
next legislature should be
amended so as to increase the
per diem instead of abolishing
it. Let the convicts be paid for
their labor and the money sent
to their families, if they have
any who are dependent upon
them, or, in the case of others
let the money be expended as
they may wish. The prison sys-
ten should not take away from
the convict all sense of nan
hood. 1t was never designed to
crush out the last spark OF self
reliance or ambition which he
may possess. Our penal insti-
buttons should be more reform
alive than punitive in their eff
forts.-Brownsville Herald.

legislature will deprive the STATE
convicts of the pittance that is giver

1t is queer how many people want
to get married, when we remember
how many people are already mar
ried and don't like it. We read that
ten thousand persons paid money to
a New York matrimonial agency to
secure husbands-or wives-accord-
ing to whether the applicants we're
men or women. That would appear
to indicate a highly satisfactory
state Of mind, on the subject Of holy
matrimony, on the part of those ten
thousand would-be brides and bride
grooms, if it were not for the sordid
fact that every one of them wanted
to be insured a rich yoke-fellow in
the domestic team. The first con-
sideration was money. Age, beauty,
grace, temper and temperament
were merely side issues with those
foolish virgins and absurd SWANS.
1t appears that in no single case did
any n get what he paid for, but
he surely got all he deserved. The
matrimonial broker is in Jail, where
he deserves to be, and his patrons
are out: out their money, time and
temper.

On October the first, Colonel
Roosevelt will appear before the
senate committee, which is investi-
eating the 1904 campaign expedi-
lures. and give his version Of the al
legged contribution of Standard Oil
to his campaign in that year He will
probably not be able to say more on
that subject than he has already
said, but his name Of saying it
may be interesting. 1t will certain
ly be interesting to see a presiden-
tial candidate on the grill, at any
rate.

Some Japanese residents of The
United States appear disposed to fol-
low Count Nogi's example and kill
themselves in honor Of their dead
emperor. The American authorities
will of course do what they can to
prevent that sort of foolishness, but
nevertheless it is a sort of foolish
ness that is extremely hard to pre-
vent.
