Tin plating children's dresses, under

other inf1ammable cotton goods has

Flannelette Is as warm as wool and
extremely cheap. 1t is the "woo" Of the

lege. 1t is doubly unfortunate that
such spirit of jealousy should exist
between these two institutions that
should be considered inseparable, both
engaged in the most laudable under
taking known to man, that Of educat-
ing and preparing the youths of the
land for the duties of life, which jeal-
ousy has even reached the athletic ac-
tivities of the schools, and by some,
this very feature it is believed, has
accentuated the differences and wild
ened the breach between the institu-
lions. These differences, and others
that are just as unimportant, will
probably find place in the campaign,
II 1t reaches the stage of contest, as
the indications now point.
From the comment heard with re-
spect to the proposition, the trouble
all grows out of the wording Of the
resolution, as it refers to the power
granted to the Legislature to issue
bonds for the purpose of purchasing
additional ground and erect necessary
buildings for the University, including
a medical department, an agricultural
mad mechnical college, and all depart
ments and activities of a complete
university of the first Glass;"
That it is an unfortunate situation
none will deny, but the friends of the
A. and NJ. College want it distinctly
that they are not response
BILE for it. They are acting now, and
have been since the consolidation mat
ter was first sprung during the ses-
sion of the Legislature, solely in ac-
cordance with natures first and great
est aw-self-defense.
Everybody is familiar with that con-
solidation agitation. They know where
it originated. Consolidation meant de-
struction to the A. and VI. College,
and is friends fought the movement,
as it was but natural that they should
do, and defeated it in a fair fight.
The consolidationists recognized
their defeat and dropped it like hot
brick, but 10 and behold there fol-

lowed swiftly Senate joint resolution
No. IS In the form OF a Constitutional
amendment, which, IL 1t means any
thing, means the same, identical thing
as proposed by the consolidationists.
In the light of past events, it was
but natural that the friends of the
A. and NJ. College recognized in the
proposed amendment the same guiding
force that dominated the consolidation
movement. So believing, can they be
blamed for again DOMINIC their war
paint and going out to battle against
the amendment?
1t may be disclalmed from every
source that the proposed amendment
does not intend violence to the A. and
M. College, that it is designed to
strengthen and build up both the Uni
versity and the A. and NJ. College, yet
the cold fact remains that the resolu-
ton does not read that way.
The present powers that be may
not intend to do violence to the A.
and M. College, yet If the amendment,
as proposed, becomes a part of the
State Constitution, the powers that be
at any time in the future would be
empowered hereunder to carry out
the wording of the proposed amend
ment, which would kill the A. and NJ.
College, or cripple it to such an extent
that its usefulness would be forever
destroyed.
To make long story short, what
the friends of the A. and NJ. College
the college of the plain people-want
is complete enforcement from the
State University, as enunciated in the
last Democratic State platform, and |
they will not be satisfied with any
thing else
The friends of the A. and NJ. College |
are not fighting the State University. |
They would be glad to see it become |
the greatest institution of learning in
the United States, and such condi-
ton would arouse their pride and not !
their jealousy. All they want is JUS
tice for the A. and NJ. College, the
school that is doing more for the plain
people than all the other schools of |
he State combined

AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.

We have just completed calcula.
tion on which we have been engaged
for several days, figuring out what an
average-sized beef would bring at the
same ratio recently paid by this
scribe for a fifteen-cent steak. After
a careful computation, and reviewing
the figures several times to avoid the
possibility of an error, we find the
beef would bring eighteen hundred and
seventy-eight dollars and thirteen
cents-not counting the hide, horns,
hoofs and hair.-Bryan Eagle.

may become a citizen by being natur-

one years of age, and have lived five
years in this country, one full year of
which has been lived in the State in
which she makes her application. Or
she can marry man who is a citi-
zen, for the wife's citizenship follows
the husband, and she continues TO re-
side in the United States, unless she
renounces the sovereignty of the

living in the United States whose hus-
