THAT TOM CAMPBELL PETITION

Democrats, sure enough Democrats
who have devoted their lives to the
service of the party, may differ-differ
in both principles and policies, and
yet both be honest.
One man may favor free raw mate
rials, another favor a tariff on the raw
material unless the tariff be removed
from the manufactured product. One
may favor the initiative, referendum
and recall, another oppose it. One may
favor absolute free trade, another tar
if for revenue only.
There are many questions on which
they may differ, and honestly so, every
man looking at the matter according
to the lights before him.
For this reason we consider the petit
ton signed by Ex-Governor T. NJ.
/ Campbell, Tom Ball and others to the
President, asking that he recognize
only what they are pleased to term
"progressives" in the distribution Of
patronage, is the most monumental
piece of gall ever displayed in this or
any other State.
They would have the President dis
criminate between honest Democrats,
favoring one as against the other
They would relegate to themselves the
doctrine OF "holier than thou" They
are the self-constituted "elect" and
salt of the earth. and for this reason
are entitled to all the pie.
Don't give the other fellow look
in, not even smell; give it all to us"
Yes, he voted the ticket all right,
and voted it straight and has for many
years, but then we are the stun, we
are the progressive give us the
swag and let him just continue to
vote; that's all he's entitled to. Let
him cultivate the field and while we
do the reaping he can stand afar off
on Nebo and view the Promised Land
while Jordan rolls between"
That petition is certainly a fine
stroke of political diplomacy. Instead
of using every effort to unity and
solidify the party that it might be
perpetuated, they would disrupt it over
the question of Federal patronage End
have the President to discriminate
against one Democrat for another
Democrat.
They may be right, but to man

ing blow from which they will not
recover in years.
To consolidate the A. and M. Col.
lege with the University would prac-
tically amount to destroying its great
usefulness. 1t would nullify the very
purposes for which it was founded, the
years of labor and the money expend.
ed in bringing it up to its present state
of usefulness and helpfulness, and rob
the people of this State of a heritage
justly their own and to which they
are entitled
With the consolidation above re-
ferred to. agriculture would be rele.
gated to the rear and would cut but
little figure in the scheme of our edu-
cational system. Instead of being given
first place, to which it is justly en-.
titled, it would be given the last place
and Texas would go back hundred
years.
The Eagle can not but believe that
the men and papers that are advocat-
ing this consolidation are acting with
out first thoroughly informing them
selves as to all the matters involved.
We can not believe they would attack
the college, and thereby attack the
agricultural interests of Texas, if they
knew the magnitude of the A. and NJ.
College, the scope of work it is doing
and it's far-reaching influence.
To this end we would suggest that
every friend of the A. and NJ. College
in Texas begin an educational cam
paign. Bring to the attention of the
members of the Legislature a full
knowledge of the college, its great
ness, it's work, what it means to
Texas, and we confidently believe that
when they are once in possession of
this information, the opposition will
cease, and they will be just as anx-
ious, or even more so, to do some
thing in behalf of the college, as they
now seem to be to do something
against it.

is by far the greatest industry in
Texas. 1t has developed wonderfully
in very recent years, and yet the de-
velopment along this line is still in its
infancy. Its possibilities are almost
beyond comprehension. This new life,
this new energy, this new develop
ment, is due largely to the A. and NJ.
College. 1t has been the vitalizing
force that has taken agriculture in its
rundown condition, almost a discred-
tied calling, and breathed. into it a
breath of new life, inspired the tillers
of the soil with new hope, and ele.
waited it as a business to the same
level as the bank, the factory, the
store or any other business enterprise.
The work now being done to dis
credit the A. and M. College by it's
enemies is a direct thrust at agricul-
ture, and blow from which it will
not recover in years. 1t is slap at
every farmer in Texas. The farmers
of the State have just awakened to
the great things the school is doing
for them and the opportunities it is
laying at their doors to better their
condition. They have seen the work
Of the boys of Texas who graduated
at the A. and NJ. College, and who re-
turned to the ole home farm and
wrought a revolution. They are just
realizing that the old methods kept
their noses to the grindstone and that
scientific agricultural methods are
their salvation. With this knowledge
is born new hope. They can see
better days ahead. They can see
profit from their farms instead of a
loss They can see better and more
comfortable homes. They can see an
education for their children-in fact,
they can see liberation from the
thralldom of poverty which has held
them hard and fast in its tolls up to
this time.
Now for the enemies of the college
to wage war upon it is practically
waging war upon the tillers of the sois
and the stock raisers of Texas 1t is a
disgrace to the State that out of a
little, nasty, measly, NANCY, shriveled,
narrow prejudice should grow dis
torted and unnatural force calculated

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
They Can Visit You While Having
their Expenses Paid.

The Daily Herald wishes to make
suggestion, and we might go still fur
Their than this and request that our
readers, when writing to their rela-
tives and friends within a radius of
so or Is miles of Oskaloosa tell them
about the big cooperative fare re-
funding sale to be held by the mer-
chants of this city from Saturday,
August 2, to Saturday, August s. 1t
will be an opportunity to kill two
birds with one stone" They can
come to Oskaloosa during this big
sale and do their shopping and make
visit at the same time.
Not only are the merchants going
TO refund the fares to all out-of-town
customers during this sale but in ad-
dition to this inducement, they will
offer special bargains in every line
of merchandise.
One of our subscribers telephoned
to the Office yesterday to make in
quiry regarding the fare-refunding
feature of the sale. She has a rela-
tive residing in Grinnell and is writ
ing her to come and do her shopping
here during the Big Cooperative
odle, anu dI tHe same Time MAKE
visit. 1t is a splendid suggestion and
the Herald wished to encourage the
movement among all OF its readers.
Sale is Unprecedented.
Oskaloosa has never before inaugur-
ated such a great and comprehensive
cooperative trading festival as this,
in which the merchants of the city are
combining to show the residents OF
the surrounding territory the 'advant-
ages of coming here to trade. There
is no city in the state where trading
can be done more advantageuusly
than in Oskaloosa, and in quality, va
riety and general up-to-dateness for
her stores Oskaloosa is far away SUI
perior as a trading center TO cities
several times her size.

damage in the county varies greatly,
several OF the fields being entirely
damaged, while others show a loss of
So and 81 per cent. A number of the
fields will suffer loss of over 20 per
cent.
