any citizen has a right to do. There
is now being distributed all ovel
Texas, especially to school teachers
county superintendent, trustees, Dem.
ocratic committeeman, and others, q
very injurious circular entitled, "An
Opportunity to Help Texas" with your
official name printed under 1t. / as
sumo you to be the author of it's con.
tents. Are you, or are you rlt? Was
the money of the taxpay lrs fsid for
your time while composing 10, and
printing and postage on it, and what
has been the cost?
A large number of the citizens OF
Texas consider this circular to be
misleading and confusing, to the ex-
tent that If not refuted possibly un'
informed voters may be led by the
statements contained in it to vote in
favor of an amendment to Sections AZ
and SO Article 3 of the Constitution,
submitted under Senate Resolution
No. IS, and thus add to the possibility
of the adoption of that amendment.
The construction in the circular OF
the meaning of this amendment is en-.
tirely different from what we con
slider correct, or logical, notably as
to the authority to issue bonds for
IAN agricultural college" Included" in
the University, as it clearly reads in
the amendment, the circular leaves
the inference that bonds can be issued

College at Bryan Independent of the
University at Austin. We do not be-

that statement a mistake and mislead.

We object to the use Of the facil.

you consider it to be a part of your

educational matters to conduct a polit-

the 1913 State Fair. He says: "This
is the only butter contest in South Da-
kots this year. Let us have a good
entry. South Dakota buttermakers
have made the record Of having a
greater per cent of the craameries enter
in a butter contest than any other
state. Why not beat our own record
BY having every creamery in the
state send some butter. Finally it is
hoped that every buttermaker and every
creamery man will take q day OF so off
and visit the fair"
Professor Larsen calls attention to
the wonderful strides which have been
made in the dairy industry in South
Dakota in recent years. people are
beginning to realize that the dairy COW
stands beside the farmer and the farm
or is making up his mind that he is go
ing to stand by the dairy COW" There
is no reason why the dairy interests
should not extend Themselves to the
limit to put forth the greatest displays
in the history of the state fair.
The Fourth REGIMENT Band of
Watertown. s. d.. has been engaged
for the seventh time as official band
of the South Dakota state fair. This
popular band was organized in 1902,
and designated as a Regimental band

mCng the important engagements
filled by this organization have been
the following: Official Band of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, depart

eral courts and another bull, which
has for its purpose the cuitailing OF
the franking privilege. have been in
troduced in congress by Representative
e. III. Dillon. Of the First South Da

In bic charge to the jury any opinion
upon the facts in the cass. Under the
present procedure the power Of a Unit
ed States Judge to give HE opinion on
the merits Of a case is, in the opinion
of Mr. Dillon. frequently abused and
the right Of a jury trial very often
is usurped by the court.
The abuses which take place under
the franking system have appalled, Mr..

Senator Kenyon and many another

Mr.. Dillon provides that the Congress
