There must be a period OF read
iustment TO the new conditions pre-
Cipitated by the Wilson tariff. The
East's approximations of temporary
uncertainty, nervousness and more
or less embarra ssment. may prove
well founded. Indeed. there have
been quite number of failures dur
ing the last three months and more
concerns are being carried" than

COL. r. r. MlLNER.

The resignation of Col. r. T. Miner
as president of the A. and NJ. College
is matter of deep regret to the peo-
pie of Bryan and Brazos County, as
we'll as to thousands of friends
throughout the State. Colonel Miner
is one of the really big men of Texas.
Big of brain, big of heart, of broad
and liberal views, there is nothing
little about him. The college has
abundantly prospered under his admin
istration, and if the wishes of the
people of Texas could have been con-
suited, the verdict would have been
that he remain for many years at the
head of this great institution.As mem.
Der of the Legislature, as Speaker of
the House, as Commissioner of Bank
ing and Insurance, as president of the
A. and NJ. College, he has served the
people faithfully and well. In every
instance he has returned to the people
their commission as pure and unsul-
lied as when they gave it; and now
after number of years of faithful
public service, Cincinnattus-like, he re-
turns to the quiet and peaceful enjoy
ment of his farm.

On Its Own Bottom.

right pig by the ear when it says:
! Make every proposition stand on
its own bottom. That is the only fair
way to amend the States Constitu-
ton"

ries seven separate and distinct prop
ositions, some of which would let
down the bars to the utmost extrava-
gance.
1t is manifestly absurd to put so
many propositions into resolution
propositions which were not debated
by the body which submitted them
constitutional convention would
be far preferable to this method Of
amending the organic law of the land,
for the reason that every question sub
mitted would be gone over deliber
ately.

COURT RULES ON
CATTLE FEEDING
Holds as Fraudulent Practice of Feed
ing and Watering But Once
En- Route to ST. Louis
and Chicago.
Try Associated Press. !

San Antonio, Tex, June 12-The
Fourth Court of Civil Appeals censures
the practice of watering and feeding
cattle from Texas points to st. Louis
and Chicago only once en- route, in or
der that beasts may eat and drink so
voraciously on arrival as to increase
their weight fifty pounds, with the cor
responding higher price. The lower
court had awarded a certain plaintiff
seventeen hundred dollars because the
railroad fed and watered a shipment
twice instead of only once. The Court
held this practice is a fraud.

Judge Gordon Russell, of Sherman,
whose loyalty to higher education can
not be doubted, favors maintaining the
University and the A. and NJ College
separately. In his baccalaureate ad-
dress at the A. and NJ. College, he de-
clared that he was bitterly opposed to
any plan that would consolidate the
two schools, or that would ultimately
result in the absorption of A. and NJ. by
the University. In this declaration
Judge Russell struck the keynote of the
whole situation Both are now handi-
capped because of the relation be-
tween them. Resolution 1S, instead of
Strengthening out the differences would
only weave a web of hopeless entangle-
ments. Let the people vote it down
and then demand legislation that will
bring about complete autonomy for the
two schools, provide for their main
tenance and get them out of politics.

Some Indian Precepts.

Ernest Thompson Seton's The Book

tains the teachings of the Indian Chief
Wabasha l., from which we quote the
following:
''ln the day of his strength no man Is
fat Fat is good in beast, but in n
man 1t is disease and comes only OF
an evil life.
mo man will eat three times each
sun II he would keep his body strong
and his mind unclouded
Battle every sun in cold water and
one sun in seven enter the sweat lodge.
when your time comes to die sing
your death song and die pleasantly,
not like the white men, whose hearts
are ever filed with the fear OF death,
so when their time comes they weep
and wall and pray for little more
time so they may live their lives over
again in different manner"

A. AND M. ALUMNI OPPOSE 1s

At a meeting of the Alumni Associa
ton of the Agricultural and Mechani
cal College the following resolutions
opposing Senate Joint Resolution No
Is were adopted:
Whereas, Senate Joint Resolution Is
Amending Sections 40 and SO of Art.
icle 8, of the Constitution of Texas, to
be voted upon by the people July 10,
1913, is so framed as to be misleading
to the voters, so drawn that in order
to reject one measure the voters must
reject all, so ambiguous that its most
ardent advocates are divided among
themselves as to its meaning, and
Whereas, Said resolution, if embod-
led in the Constitution by the tax
payers, would involve the unnecessary
expenditure of hundreds of thousands
of dollars of the peoples money for
the establishment of another agricultu-
lral and mechanical college at Austin,
which would simply attempt to dupli-
cate under less favorable conditions,
the work now being successfully car
ried out by the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College at College Station,
and
Whereas, Many of the most active
supporters of this resolution are the
very men who very recently made
desperate effort to destroy the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, and
Whereas, The proposed amendment
places no limit on the amount of bonds
that any legislature may issue, and no
limit on the amount of interest that
may be paid on such bonds, and
Whereas, We yield to none in our
interest in the cause of higher educa-
ton, but as loyal citizens, we hold
that no amount of money which might
be secured for such a purpose would
justify us in advocating a measure
that would put in the hands of any leg
islature the power to bankrupt the
State, and
Whereas, We have consulted with
eminent legal talent and many men,
bers of the Legislature as to the mean
ing and effect of the proposed reso-
luton, and they advise us that the
amendment is ambiguous, capable of
almost any construction and danger
GUS, not only to the College, but to
the best interests of the State at
large, therefore,
Be it resolved, That the Alumni AS
sociation of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Texas, in annual
convention assembled, after a thor
ough consideration and discussion of
the proposed amendment to Sections
40 and 80 of Article of the Consti-
tuition of the State of Texas, known
as Senate Joint Resolution No. is, be-
lieve that the passage of the proposed
would be the death knell
of the A. and NJ. College of Texas,
and that we pledge ourselves to use
every legitimate means to defeat it

carried synopsis of an address de-
livered by PresffeneRsT. Miner of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, in opposition to the adoption of
the Constitutional amendment that is
to be voted on July 10. The speaker
in this address assails the adoption of
these amendments in the most vigor-
GUS and convincing arguments of any
speaker that has ever been before the
public on the question. In his argu-
ment he assumes the attitude of de.
fender of the rights of the people and
shows conclusively that the adoption
of said amendments would be moth
ing short of treason to the public. Mil
ner is a man of the people, he knows
all the hardships and misfortunes in.
cident to the common herd, and when
he speaks on questions of State his
words of warning and admonition
sould and will be needed by the people
of the State. With the limited study
that we have been able to give this
question and the testimony of such
men as Bob Miner and J. C. McNealus
we feel warranted in saying that every
amendment to be voted on the 18th of
July is fraught with great danger and
should be defeated by the people
