RESCUED VICTIM
UF LIVE WIRE

\ The pluckiness and presence of
mind of Doris Giles, a Chronicle
newsboy, Ia years old, saved Ralph
Landgrebe, 1O-year-od son of ]. w.
Landgrebe of 709 North Main street,
from a horrible death yesterday aft
ernoon, when the latter came in con-
tact with an electric wire, heavily
charged with electricity.
Little Ralph wanted to see sparks
fly from the overhead street car wires
running in front OF his house. With
Mike Lawler, neighbor lad years
of age, he found an old wire clothes
line which he threw over the street
car wire. The lads saw a street car
approaching and young Landgrebe
made an effort to remove the hanging
wire. He caught hold of it and fell
TO the ground, writing in agony. He
was unable to release his grip on the
wire. which burned his hands to the
bone Young Giles, who was deliver
ing papers on his route, saw the boys
lpredicament and ran TO his rescue.
He caught hold of the screaming lad,
but the force Of the current was so
strong that he too, was knocked
down. 1t was here that young Giles
brought his training received as a
member of the Boy Scouts into good
use.
Catching up one of the papers from
his bag, he hurriedly wrapped it
about the legs Of young Landgrebe,
land protecting his hands from danger
with another paper, removed the boy
from the tracks to safety With the
assistance OF a man who was passing
at the time, Giles carried the lad into
the house. placing wet cloths about
his wrists to cool his hands and arms.
Young Landgrebe was taken to St.
Joseph's infrmary, where he is being
treated for the burns on his hands.
From the facts which have been
presented to us in this case it seems
to me that the action of young Giles

A Few Reasons Why Senate Joint Reso-
luton 18 Should Be Defeated

Tor subdivisions of the state to issue
bonds for "the construction, mainten.
lance and operation OF public ware
houses or In aid thereof" is a depart.
lure from the functions OF government
and is, to my mind, fraught with the
grayest dangers to the public inter
est. AS needful as public warehouses
may be, 1t is not the duty or function
Iof government to furnish them, main
tain them or operate them any more
than 1t would be duty to build and
own and operate railroads, street
railways, department stores or any
other business enterprise. If had
mo other reason for voting againts
this amendment / should feel COM
PEELED to do so on account of this
provision therein.
II that part OF the resolution which
amends Section 40 of Article of the
constitution could be construed as the
advocates of the resolution contend |
should like to vote for it. The people
|of Texas want a university of the
first class and they are willing that
ample provision shall be made there
for either by direct appropriation or
by the issuance of bonds. They also
want great Agricultural and Me-
chanical College for instruction in ag-
riculture, mechanical arts and the
natural sciences in connection there
with. We already have such an insti-
tuition accomplishing such work
though handicapped from inadequate
financial support and it is this insti-
tuition which the people desire pres
entity to strengthen and enlarge rather
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-07-10

than new school as a direct depart
ment Of the university.
Too Much PoIitIcs
The existing relations between the
University and the Agricultural and
Mechanical College have been involv.
ed in the politics of this state for a
term Of years. The San Antonio plat
form last year recommended that
there should be a complete divorce
ment OF this institutions and ample
provision made for the support and
maintenance Of each. 1t was under
stood that Section 10 of Article Of
the constitution which declares that
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lego of Texas is hereby constituted
branch of the University of Texas"
should be repealed by proper amend
ment to the constitution and this
great school freed absolutely from all
connection with or relation to the
University. This provision of the con-
stitution has never been operative but
1t stands there as menace to the
progress of both the college and the
University and in one notable in
stance was seized upon by governor
OF the state as a shield for vetoing
needed appropriations for the support
of the college.
Much as / desire the University to
be put upon a high plane as uni
versity of the first class, leading all
the institutions OF the country and
carrying on work creditable to the
progress and civilization of imperial
Texas, | think it would be far better
TO let this resolution be presently de-
feated and have the next legislature
to submit a carefully worded amend
ment to the constitution which will
meet the expectations and wishes of
the great people of Texas.

2. 1t is dangerous to clothe the
