Wednesday, when he said:
81 was never accused of perjury
in the State of Vermont"
SulZer, with Curtis, was attorney
for Mrs. Mary Watson of Vermont
in her suit to break the will of her
grandfather John Anderson. In this
suit she was successful, but a dis.
pute over counsel fees arose and
Sulzer sued her in Vermont for $10,-
900. He lost this suit. Then, &C.
cording to the revelation now made
by Curtis, this presentment against
Sulzer and another witness in the
case was made to the then United
States attorney for Vermont, the doc
ument being signed by three attor-
neys in the case, as well as by the
foreman of the trial jury:

plause from an appreciative audience.
Rev. T. Y. Adams of Calvert deliv-
cred the commencement address to
the graduating class, the faculty and
the friends of the school. He called
attention to the passing of the mill
tary age in the world, days when the
lust of battle and the clash of arms
appealed to the best of men. The day
has come when man gives sympathy
and help to man, and the uplifting of
the masses is the watchword of the
century.
Peace hath her victories, no less
renowned than war" Mr.. Adams quot
ed, and added that peace certainly had
her battles to be fought, however, and
that conflicts in life are common.
There are battles to be fought-of
morals, of religion, of health-life, in
fact, was one great struggle. Dreams
and ambition were good, but the
dreamers must be prepared to face
the shock of stern reality.
With words of hope, confidence and
admonition to the class about to en-
ter the lists in the conflict of life, Mr..
Adams closed his remarks

ment mentioning the difficulties the
board has encountered, and briefly set

OF the school. He spoke with regret
of losing Prof. and Mrs. Mcdonald,
who will leave the school this year,
and of the difficulty of finding as con-
scientious a president and as conse-

ARE YOU A DRoNE IN THE HIVE?

The educational committee raising
funds for the campaign in the interest
of the A. and NJ. College is still work
ing to raise the amount necessary in
the opinion of the committee to con-
duct the campaign as it should be con-
Quoted. The one thing about raising
this fund which The Eagle can not
understand is, why it is necessary for
the members of this committee to give
up so much of their valuable time in
raising the amount. 1t looks like the
people of Bryan, realizing as they do
the value of the A. and NJ. College,
would subscribe the required amount
in one hours time. 1t should be a
pleasure for everybody to give, rather
than for the committee to have to use
a corkscrew in getting it out of some
of them. If by our lack of interest,
we should lose the A. and NJ. College,
we would then wake up to the real
situation after it was too late. We
would be like Sam Jones "infiddle"
who died and woke up in hell, and
after looking around exclaimed, my
gracious, what mistake ! did maken
There should not be a man in Bryan
who is willing to sit by, enjoy the
blessings of the city, share in its
prosperity, and not be a helper in the
great march of progress. There should
be no drones who sit complacently by,
suck the honey from the city's honey
comb, and expect the other fellow to
foot all the bills. We should all come
right up and toe the mark like men,
each receiving his part of the blows,
and contributing his part of the
sinews of war. This course will give
us glorious victory, not only for the
A. and NJ College, but for every other
issue that may arise. Let us all be
inspired with higher ambition than
to be drone in the hive

THE TERM CONCERT.

The Colonial Theatre was crowded
to its full capacity last night with an
audience made up of the music lovers
of Bryan, anxious to hear the annual
concert Of this school, we'll knowing
from the record of the past that a
treat was in store for them. They
were not disappointed on this occa'
sion, for every expectation was fully
met. The Eagle does not believe it
would exaggerate in saying that a
more artistic and finished musical en-
tertainment by students or local talent
was ever given in Bryan. The piano
selections were skillfully rendered and
the vocal numbers were more like the
work of finished musicians than that
of students.
| Mr.. Reed, director OF the musical
department of the academy, has dem
onstrated his ability as a musical in
structor, the truth OF which was abun-
dainty demonstrated in every number
of the evenings program.
The program was as follows:

pressed his love for the people of
Bryan, and testified to the regard he
felt for the school in his heart. He
predicted the future bright for the
school, and pleaded for the support Of
its trends.
With a few simple words OF affec-
ton and congratulation, Prof. Melon
aid presented diplomas to the follow
ing: Misses Lois Weaver of Courtney,
Pearl Drummond, Balzora Waite, Van
Buren, Waite, Lottie Hensarling, and
Mr.. Elmer Bullock.
The medal for oratory, generously
offered by Mr.. p. s. Park, was pre-
sented by Rev. J. r. Finley to Mr..
Jesse Watson.
A medal is offered yearly by Mr..
and Mrs. III. o. Boatwright to the stu
dent making the best average in
mathematics, which was awarded this
year by the faculty to Il. A. White

propriate words by Rev. NJ. E. Weaver.
The Eugene Edge medal for scholar
ship was presented to George Willie

The music medal, offered by Mrs.

home of Rev. NJ E. Weaver in this

The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. d. Yardley Of Harvey and is
widely known in that section as

to be most excellent young man.

A FEW REASONS WHY SENATE JOINT RES
OLUTION 10 SHOULD BE DEFEATED

Bryan and Brazos County are "un.
informed" and downright fools. Also
this might be said of the entire
Alumni Association and a great many
others that have been heard from over
the State. The fact is we predict
that a majority of the people of Texas
will show their lack of knowledge on
July 10 and vote against this amend.
ment. 1t will be a sad day for this
great State when matters are turned
over to the people and taken out of
the hands of a few wise boys" and
the old order of things not permitted
any longer.

The only way for the people of
Texas to obtain a new Constitution
is to defeat all the proposed amend
ments to the present instrument
Dallas Democrat.
Such is the belief of State Senator
]. c. McNealus of Dallas, editor of
the Democrat. Other objections are
offered to the proposed amendments
to the Constitution which are to be
voted upon by the people in July, but
being such a stickler for new Con-
stitution, Senator McNealus sees in
the forthcoming election an opportun-
ity to forward his pet movement. We
see little wisdom in the clamor for
a new Constitution at this time and
our suggestion is that the people look
well into any proposed amendments
TO the one we now have before voting
upon them. The Dallas statesman
opinion is given for what it is worth
and the further reason that it is a
new phase in the argument against
the adoption of the amendments, and
may have considerable bearing upon
the outcome of the election to be held
in July.-Houston Post.

More About the Amendment

In making up his mind as to how
he will vote on the amendment to
Sections 40 and 80 of Article of the
I Constitution, the voter must consider
| the following questions:
/. Is he willing to authorize the
State officials to create debts against
the State to the amount of half mill
ion dollars, which may be repeated as
often as the debt is paid, and which
the taxpayer must pay?
2. Does he favor the issuing Of
bonds to build another Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Austin in
connection with the University?
3. Does he favor giving the Legis.
lature unlimited power to issue any
amount of bonds it may see fit for
buildings for "other institutions"
4. Does he believe it good public
policy to issue three million dollars
worth of bonds for the penitentiary
system, which in two years has lost
two million dollars?
,. Is he willing, as taxpayer to
pay his share of the seven million
dollars worth of bonds which will be
Immediately demanded of the Legisla-
ture should this amendment be
adopted?
6. Does he believe it good public
policy for the voter to be forced to
vote for seven different propositions,
or against all of them, or not vote
at all? A. NJ. KENNEDY.
