THE WISDOM OF AN EXTRA
SESSION.

There can not be much prophecy in
predicting that Governor Wilson will
call an extraordinary session of con-
gress to revise the tariff, because
every consideration, public and party,
must urge him to that course. The
public consideration is that, tariff re-
duction having been made inevitable
or inexorable, as it's beneficaries
would say, the sooner that reduction
is made the sooner will they be re-
lieyed of the uncertainty as to the de-
gree of it. The party considerations
are more numerous and quite as con-
elusive. For one thing, the details of
the subject are fresh in mind with
most Of the democrats who will be in
the next congress, and they would lose
a good deal of what the last four years
Of study has taught them by delaying
a full year to take up the subject
Again, by zdisposing of the matter i'm
mediately they will give their law an
opportunity to demonstrate itself be-
fore the congressional elections of
1914. A third reason is that, by dis
posing Of it Immediately, they would
somewhat clear the field for consid-
GRAFTON, during the regular sessions of
the winter after this, of subjects
which, if not more important, are at
least more perplexing. The banking
and currency question is an example.
And, finally, by Selling the first
chance, while the enthusiasm of vic
tory is on them, to redeem one party
pledge, the democrats will generate
state Of mind that will facilitate their
efforts to redeem other pledges. We
think one who has shown so much
perspicacity as Governor Wilson has
may be depended upon to seize the
psychological advantage that would be
derived from immediate action.-Gal-
weston News.

A Kings Rebuke.

The queen Of Wurttemberg was one
day walking in the streets Of Stuttgart
attended by a, maid of honor, when she
met body Of students who refused
to make room for the ladies', and thus
compelled them to walk In the gutter.
The queen reported the matter to the
king, and the next day the captain OF
the corps Suevia was summoned TO
the palace. A servant led him into a
room where there were no chairs, and
there the unfortunate student had to
wait full hour At last the king ap
peared, and finally the young man was
dismissed by him thus: 81 cannot de
mand that every student should know
my wife, but do demand that the
corps Suevla give place in the streets
to ladies'"

A SUMMER DAY.

Written for The Bryan Eagle.]
IT'S good to look on pastures green,
Where hillsides sloping lie,
Contented cattle feeding there,
Nor fear. the passer-by;
Where fiocks and herds roam at their
will,
Throughout the livelong day,
And, oh, the hum of bees that come,
Full freighted on their way.
IT'S good to look upon the fields,
When all the skies are blue,
When Natures alchemy has done
What man can never do:
To change the fragrant wheat to gold,
That erstwhile was so green,
To watch the flow of waves that go
With light and shade between.
'Tis goodto seek the verdant woods,
Where scarce the sun may CLEAN,
To sit in contemplative mood
Beside some sylvan stream,
And fancy that the wood-nymphs
come
Aye, come and talk to you,
And naiads play as in the day
When this old world was new.
And do you know, sometimes think,
That Heaven we strive to see,
viii be one long, long summer time,
With Joys for you and me;
That we may wander as we will,
Through snterminable wales,
And pleasure never fails.
Eugene Clay Ferguson.
