worse than MaiD street. The best
way to remedy tie condition is the
question before the people. The city
treasury IL apparently empty, and
will be so for some time. A change
of our form Of government will not
be made just now, so that the propo-
sition is up to the people. We can
suggest solution which will afford
temporary relief and give time for
permanent solution. Let a day be
set apart for general street repair
day. Let one competent man be ap-
pointed to perfect all arrangements
for the work of the day. When the
day comes let every man in the city
turn out and assist in the work. Let
the boys and girls carry water and
coffee, and the ladies can furnish the
necessary lunch This is a plan that
viii not inflict hardship on anyone
and will confer lasting benefit upon
the community. There is no remedy
in GUESSING the officers. Others would
do likewise. The thing to do is get
out and do the work. Everybody
wants to live on an attractive street.
Property is worth 25 per cent more
on an attractive street than it is on
simply an old path of any kind. Who
will be the first to second this mo-
ton? l.. NJ. Hewitt.

the extension Of farm products within

10. We believe that to deny intelli-
gent. refined, chaste and sensible
women the privilege Of the ballot
while extending this privilege TO the
illiterate. immoral. vicious and cor
rupt men, is not only nonsensical and
criminal, but that 1t is an Insult to
womanhood as well as a reflection
upon our intelligence; we therefore
pledge the party to equal rights Of
suffrage for women and men.
IA. We condemn the treatment OF
the Americans in Mexico, by the
president OF the United States, in
arousing prejudice against them by
his un-American proclamation and
then failing to defend them against
outrages.
Is. We denounce the reign of lynch
law as one of the many curses for
which the liquor traffic is RESPONSE

ity, especially, TO the exclusion Of
personal matters. He insisted on the
Importance Of getting the right view
point, namely, that schools are estab-
lished for the instruction and educa-
ton Of children and not for the pro-
motion Of personal ends. That de-
nominational or sectional questions
as well az petty jealousies and per.
sonal matters should not be allowed
to enter into or interfere with the
welfare of the school, and gave some
good suggestions which. II followed,
will conserve to harmony and i'm
provement in each school in the dis.
trict.
An important step was taken in the
organization of the district school
trustees into permanent county or
ganization. T. w. Beard OF Edge was
elected president and w. E. Graham
OF Rock Prairie secretary. The next
meeting will be held the first Monday
in November, and the county school
board will meet with them to discuss
plans for the advancement of the
schools in each district of the county.
In this manner. by meeting together
and Exchanging ideas regarding i'm
provements, defects, better systems,
and all matters pertaining to the well
fare of the schools. the best results
can be obtained and each trustee can
go home full of enthusiasm and better
prepared to enter on his duties.
There are twenty-nine districts In
the county and three trustees to each
district, and by thus coming together
and comparing ideas and exchanging
suggestions the schools OF Brazos
county should prove to be the best in
the state in a very short time.

ing Meeting at Courthouse.

The county school board of Brazos
county and the district school trus-
tees met in joint session at the court
house yesterday and had an interest
ing meeting and liberal attendance.
R. o. Allen. president of the school
board, delivered an instructive ad
dress on the subject, "The Rural High
School Law: Its Objects and Its APP
plications He emphasized the fact
that many had misinterpreted the
spirit of this law, and that instead of
compelling the people in the rural dis
tricts to send their children to town
in order to obtain the advantages of
Ia high school course, by properly TAX
ing advantage ofIts provisions it will
place high schools within their reach,
and dwelt at considerable length on
the mistaken ideas many hold in re.
gard to this law in the rural districts,
and fully explained its purpose and
intent.
County Superintendent T. w. Par
ker then delivered an inspiring ad-
dress on the subject, How District
School Trustees Can Best Serve the
School Children of Their District" He
emphasized the word best" and
pointed out to those present several
ways in which this might be accom-
plished, among which was to attend

and development Of the commercial
and industrial resources Of the state
by an intelligent protection Of all the
various interests Of this broad do
main.
Z. We believe that the agricultural
development can best be encouraged
and extended by an intelligent extern
sion of the transportation facilities
through a more liberal state good
roads system and we pledge the party
to the construction of system Of
state roads through the several coun-
ties which will best serve the greatest
number of people for the most eco
nomical expenditure, these state roads
to be so constructed that the several
counties may add to them and make
la complete system Of good highways.
s. We condemn the system OF con-
vict labor-made goods for commercial
trade and recommend that all convict
labor that may be spared from state
farms be used for state road building.
and that all convicts be credited for
their labor upon basis of the pre-
vailing rate for labor, that the differ
ence between the cost of maintaining
the convict and the value of his labor
be used for the maintenance of those
dependent upon the convict for sup
port.
9. We condemn the present insur.
ance laws which created the insur-
ance rating board of the state, as a
vicious trust, generally supposed to
have been instigated by the fire in
surance companies for the purpose OF
eliminating possible competition in
the fire insurance business and thus
creating a burdensome tax upon the
people of the state, and We demand
the repeal OF the law and the aboll.
tion of the rating board.
10. We believe that the present sys-
TEN of the state elections every two
years creates an unnecessary and
wasteful use of time, money and en-
ergy, and we recommend that all
state officers be elected for four years
and that state elections alternate with
national elections.
IL. We do not believe that 1t is an
economical policy to appraise the rail-
roads OF the state above their actual
value for stock and bond purposes,
but we believe that the valuation as
made by the commission for such
purpose should prevail with all boards
of assessors for the purpose of taxa
ton. and We recommend the enact
ment of law to this effect.
~. AS the extension of our agricul.
tural resources must supersede the
development OF our commercial re-
sources, and as every legitimate ef-
fort should be made to secure more
extensive educational system among
rural residents. we favor a law per-
hitting railroads to issue free trans
portation to all agents OF the agricul-
tural department OF the state and to
all secretaries of commercial organi.
