FATHER IS OLD-FASHIONED.

An Austin man complains that since
bis daughter has taken music lessons
nc his expense she insists upon playing
only classical stuff. When he comes
home tired and asks for a little tune he
gets nothing but musical gymnastics.
The whole feminine part of the com
munity. he thinks. il a conspiracy to
uplift him. and he doesn't want to be
uplifted. 1t is just like father to make
Il complaint like that. Father never
did take kindly to culture. He sits dis.
consulate in the %draughty kitchen. while
daughters Browning Circle meets in the
front room. III is mothers idea entire
ly that he put on an uncomfortable col
lar in the evening and hear a missionary
lecture on Borneo. Fathers taste for
music stops short at Suwanee River,
and he knows almost nothing about the
minor poets and the pre-Raphaelites
His art ideas are derived from the IL
Illustrated Sunday supplement. He will
not sit in n Louis XVI chair. He cares
not a whit for the pottery of the ancient
Chaldeans. Shirtsleeves and carpet
slippers are his conception of correct
evening dress for gentlemen. There il
little hope that anything permanent
can be done for father. When the
millennium comes he will still be found
reading his newspaper. smoking up tht

of culture-and paving the bills.-AH rs

Before dropping the subject. The
Herald feels that ii should voice the
general appreciation OF our people for
the efforts of the state board of agri-
culture, through its most worthy and
active representative. Mr. Lawson. to
rid our trees of the pest. When we real
ize that the state might. if it wished.

the premises. we feel that our city
should be grateful indeed for the really
kind and helpful attitude of the state
inspector of orchards and nurseries,
Mr.. Sam III. Dixon. under whose dirrc-
ton this effort has been made to show
us how to free our trees of the scale.

a DEMOCRATIC PLEDGE AGAINST

No more interesting discussion ever
took place during a presidential cam
paign than that which was started in
the Herald ten days ago by John Wanna
maker i'm his address to the merchants
and business men of the United States.
1t created a profund impression among
business men and political leaders.
The discussion is today continued in
the columns of the Herald by William
G. McAdoo, who is in charge of Gov
ernor Wilson's campaign at the head

mittee. Mr.. McAdoo has prepared with
great care a reply to Mr.. Wanamaker.

and business men of the United States.
IT il about the same length as Mr..
Wanamaker's. and yet the Herald needs
make no opology for publishing it. be-
cause every line il full Of yirile argu-

jim order that its final object may be
\ accomplished. According to Mr.. Law
ison, it will require at least two more
general applications of the mixture
(which is expected to eradicate the scale
before our trees may he entirely rid OF
fhe pest. This mixture may be obtained
from the state without cost. 1t is
easily applied. and il would appear
as if our citizens would not require Il
second reminder from the state that
it is their duty to see THAI they no longer
harbor the destructive tree scale in
their yards.
a feature which should impress itself
our minds is the fact that, under
the state law. stringent measures may
be taken to eradicate the tree scale. if
owners of infected trees 40 not cndeavor
to do Their part. Another provision of
the same law permits other counties and
towns to quarantine against the ship

! which makes no effort to eradicate the
pest within its border. This might af

so effectively begun by Mr.. Lawson.
1t would be well for the citizens of

SHOULD PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE.

1t is asserted by some persons who
may be regarded as authority on the
subject that the cracking OF many OF the
sidewalks of the city on those streets
which have been paved is due directly
ia the fact that. in laying the concrete
space was allowed next the curbing
for expansion of the concrete. 1t is
claimed that the concrete base expands
naturally and that, as it lies directly
against the curb. the force thus eXertcd
has been sufficient to cause the sidewalks
to crack. and that Il space of at least
two inches should have been left at each
side of the street in laying the founda-
ton for the paving.
Whether this be correct or not. the
Herald does not undertake to say. Its
editor is not Il paving engineer. But the
fact is plainly apparent that a number
Of our expensive cement sidewalks show
longitudinal cracks. which must be due
To something. If il be ~chargeable to
crowding by the concrete base of the
street paving, the paving company
,hould not be permitted to do any more
such work. If not. then Inc company
is entitled to he cleared of the blame
which has been attached to it.

lent Importance to merit Immediate at

A general diffusion of knowledge being
essential to the preservation OF the ilber
ties and rights of the people. we demand
that our educational system, from the
primary school to the university, shall
not longer suffer from faulty organlza-
ton and insufficient financial support.
The democratic party of Texas, there
fore. pledges the thirty-tIird legislature
TO make liberal appropriations for the
support and development of our educa'
tional system generally.
We rciterate the demand made in the
state democratic platform adopted ~
Galveston in August. 1910. that AIDE
quate provision he made, by constitu-
tional amendment. if necessary, for Z
liberal and independent income to sup
port the state institutions of higher
learning, including the university, Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college. the
state normal schools and the College OF
Industrial Arts. We demand more ef-
ficient county supervision. and the ex-
tension and betterment of u rural
schools. and the teaching in them of IN
dustrial and agricultural subjects. We
demand the submission of All amendment
10 our constitution which will provide
that any county may levy. by a majority
vote of the tax payers thereof. a county
tax for the better maintenance of the
schools in such county. We further de-
mand that the legislature propose and
submit an amendment to section III ar
ticle Is of the constitution providing
for the complete enforcement Of the uni.
~versity from the A. 4 Nj. college, and re
move the inhibition against making ap-
preparations out of the general revenue
for the erection of buildings for the
university.
We endorse the proposed amendment
to article Ii of the constitution pro
viding for six-year terms Of office for
the university regents. and boards OF
managers and trustees of other state
colleges, schools. eletmOsynary and
penal institutions. and we call upon all
good democrats throughout the state to
vote for this amendment. to the end that
a law may be enacted by the Legislature
providing that the terms of members OF
such boards may be arranged so that the
terms of office of one-third of each board
may expire rvery two years. thus insur-
ing these institutions against frequent
changes of management to their detri-
