conducting the study Of agriculture in
the richest section of Texas. The
medical branch of the University of
Texas was located at Galveston, be-
cause there were more dead ones"
there for use in anatomical studies
than anywhere else in Texas. Such
has been the intelligent policy of the
State in reference to its public insti.
tutions. The News has said nothing
about the necessity of removing the
medical branch of the college to Aus
tin, for reasons that are obvious-one
OF which we have stated.
In allowing the Agricultural and
Mechanical College to remain in its
present location the Legislature will
be but following the established pol
icy of the State in distributing it's
great public institutions over its vast
territory for the convenience of its
population. This rule prevails with
such institutions as the courts of
civil appeals, charitable institutions,
asylums and penal establishments.
Why the necessity of making an ex-
ception in the case of the Agricul.
tural and Mechanical College? None,
in the minds of fair-minded men who
believe in fairness and even-handed
justice to all citizens alike.

eURLEsoN ExPLoDEs A BOMB

Tom Campbell ct al. petitioned the
President, and through him the heads
OF the various departments, to appoint
only progressives and original Wilson
men to office.
Their petition has met with a cold
reception; in fact, it was literally
frozen to death.
The prevailing sentiment at Wash
ington seems to be to produce eff
cheney in every department, rather
than political results.
Postmaster General Burleson, on
whom they counted in particular, has
exploded a bomb right in the Tom
Campbell camp. He has appointed
former Governor Dockery of Missouri
to be Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, although Governor Dockery was
a bitter anti-Wilson man in the Presi.
Dental primary. He has no superior
as business reformer and systema-
tier, and Burleson wants results. He
has retained Second Assistant Post
master General Stewart and Theodore
Weed, head of the postal savings bank
division, both Republicans, because of
their efficiency.
He is doing the very things the
Campbell crowd petitioned him not to
do, and in so doing is showing to the
world that he is in reality a progress
sive and they are disruptionists and
reactionaries. He wants service, the
thing the people demand and which
they must have if the Democratic
party makes good, while the Oliver
Twists from Texas want pie.

Officials here approve the course of
Rear Admiral Nicholson, commander Of

guard of marines to Kuling. the central
China summer resort. where Americans
had become apprehensive because OF the
disorders in. the Chinese republic. Rear
Admiral Nicholson reported to the Navy
Department that he acted after consult

commanders, all of whom advised him
against furnishing the guard.
The request for marines was made by
Charles Williams of the American lega-
ton at Peking In transmitting the re-
port to Admiral Nicholson. Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt authorized the commander
of the American squadron to use his
discretion in the matter. AS kuling Is
on elevated ground, it is said not to be
in immediate danger except from stray
glers The gunboat Helena, the Ameri-
can vessel nearest kuling, is at Kiu-

At the Navy Department it was said
that Admiral Nicholson had done his full

Holdrich Saturday, they were surprised
by Sir Thomas denunciation Of athletic

He declared that girls Of this type were
not altogether worthy imitation. There
was a growing tendency in sports to mis-

which were meant to make one happy

good temper and courtesy fell short of
their purpose. particularly in the latter
respect.

She is not always as tidy az might be:
her methods are sometimes exceedingly
crude, and she IL entirely lacking In man
