board to award the contract for the

error in his calculations.

STEALING WATERMELoNS.

Normangee Star: Complaint is be-
ing made that boys enter watermelon
patches and carry off half-ripe melons,
throwing them away and causing a
great waste. Boys, don't steal mans
melons; but II you must steal, select
ripe melons, take what you want to
eat, and do not waste or tear up vines.
A boy may be excused for swiping a
ripe, luscious melon, but it is pretty
iow-down to cause damage to vines
and green melons.
You are wrong, in part. No boy is
excusable for stealing a watermelon.
Theft is theft, and in avoiding every
appearance of evil it is certainly nee
essary to refrain from burglarizing a
neighbours melon patch. 1t is just as
wrong to steal a watermelon out of
the owners field as it would be to
steal it out of a merchants store.
Stealing is stealing In other years,
a long time ago, when there was no
commercial demand for an over
abundance of fruits and melons, it
was considered no great sin for ven
turesome youth to poach upon an out
lying orchard or field and fill his
bosom with more or less forbidden
fruit. Many boys of former era did
that, and some Of them are now
thoughtless enough to make joke of
their exploits within the hearing and
for the edification of boys of today.
1t is wrong. There are other ethics
and other standards in 1913, and
thievery is a repulsive crime in the
eyes of the public, even such petty
thievery as small boys are capable Of.
Besides, as a twig is bent, the trees
inclined, and big rascals from little
rascals grow.-Galveston News.
Now listen at that! We feel like
we've got on stripes. We would like
to have an opinion on the above from
our old boyhood friends, Tom Hensar-
ling, Monk" Cook, Sheriff John d.
Conlee, big Jack" Risinger, lobe
Simmons and the other Steep Hollow
boys.

LET NO MAN BE DECEIVED.
President Board Of DirectorsT
Houston, Texas.

Let no man be deceived. The bond
amendment known as Senate Joint
Resolution No IS is a scheme to turn
Texas over to the bond buyers and
to destroy the A. and NJ. College.
Every man and every newspaper that
favored consolidation short while
ago favors that amendment. If 1t
were wise then to abolish the A. and
NJ. College, it is wise to do it now.
If the advocates of consolidation were
sincere then they are fools now If
they do not favor it, All the argu-
.ment used then in favor Of consolida-
ton can be used just as forcibly now.
The honest voters should beware OF
the two-faced argument. But If we
could believe that the advocates OF
consolidation had been converted and
their friendship made so plain that II
could be accepted in good faith, then
their contention that the amendment
is a good thing is odious.
The amendment is SO much al
variance with the long established

people. will be remembered that
only fw years ago the legislature Of
this state passed a law limiting the
amount of bonds that railroad corpora
tions should be allowed to issue per
mile because 1t was well known fact
that every dollar OF bonds allowed
above the real value Of the roads was
indirect robbery and should not be al
lowed, and now 1t is proposed to en-
power less than hundred men to-
issue bonds against the state In

The sons of the men who stood by
and revered Throckmorton, Roberts,
Coke, Ireland, Ross, Reagan, Mills.
Maxey, and Culberson should rise up
in their power and might and bury
this amendment under a majority so
heavy that Its friends would never
attempt again to resurrect it.

from voting their sentiments on ac-

To the News.
Information has reached me from
several sources that those who favor
the amendment to sections 40 and 81,
article 8, of the constitution, common
ly referred to as S. ]. r. No. is, have
made the statement that the board OF
directors of the A. and NJ. College are
not opposed to this amendment. and
to substantiate this cite the fact that
the board has made no public state
men of its position.
At a meeting of the board, held at
College Station on June 10, COM
munication was received from the
Alumni Association asking that the
board express its sentiments as to this
resolution. This matter was discussed,
and it was resolved that while the
board considered it inappropriate to
publish an official statement in regard
to this matter yet every member OF
the board was opposed to the amend
ment, believing that it would not re-
suit in any good to the A. and NJ.
College, if it would not in fact be
detrimental to it's interest, and that
every member of the board would vote
and use his influence against it. This
resolution was unanimously passed
and ordered spread upon the minutes.
In view of the misstatements that
have been made in this matter, deem
! it pertinent to state the facts and
would ask that you publish same.

According to advices received, john

have been announced as ready for pub

that Hermann got wind of the mat

been sent to all the newspapers in the

II now comes 10 light that the writer
of the articles is the same person who
has shielded himself behind Fosel on
previous occasions. and that the arti-
cIes attributed to Fogel We're written
by this man. *.
The Taft-Murphy combine is thought
to be backing Fogel, and II is rumored
