LET US HAVE THE TRUTH.

The Bryan Eagle says that Austin
has been grabbing all the political pie
and now wants to grab all the state
institutions. Therefore the bond
amendment should be defeated.
Tell the truth, brother. 1t has been
specifically decreed that there is no
intention to consolidate the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College with the
University. There is just Agricultural
land Mechanical College jealousy be-
hind the opposition to the amendment
and nothing more.-Austin Statesman.
Gov. Colquitt had dream" of an
ideal UNIVERSITY" which includ-
ed the whole cheese and all located
on the University campus at Austin.
Amt that so? Tell the truth. The
people have kept tab on this agita-
ton and if you don't tell the truth
they'll know it. That dream started
the thing, and the question of consoli-
dation followed. Amt that so? Three
monthe ago you and F. NJ. Bradley,
President Mezes, S. P. Brooks, David
F. Houston, the Dallas News and the
Galveston News, the whole Exit and
billing" of you were raising the roof
for consolidation, for tearing the A.
and NJ. College up root and branch and
moving it to Austin. Amt that so?
Tell the truth, you who are so glib to
call on other people ito tell the truth"
Then as soon as it was discovered the
A. and NJ. College could not be moved
except by a constitutional amendment,
what did you and the rest of the gang
do? You blew on the dogs on that
trail and Resolution IS was sprung.
Who are the supporters Of Resolution
IS? The same yelping gang who loud
made the "welkin ring" for
Does that bode good
or evil for A. and NJ? Tell the truth, !
and if you do, you'll tell the people
that it is hoped to do the same thing
through Resolution IS that was pro-
posed to be done by consolidation.
You say " it has been specifically |

College with the University" ,

Weather Conditions.

A depression is moving in over the
northwest which in turn is followed
by another area of high pressure over
the north Pacific coast. These move
ments have been attended by local
showers in the extreme northwest, in
the middle west, Atlantic districts,
and in the middle and eastern portions
of the cotton belt In Texas and else
where the weather has been fair, and
at time of report the skies were clear
over this state. The temperature has
fallen in the extreme northwest, and
in the Ohio valley, lower lake region
and Atlantic districts, especially north
Atlantic, but is rising in the middle
portions of the United States. Warm
weather continues in Texas and the
greater portion of the cotton belt, and
unusually warm weather is reported
from Montana and the northwest.

Every elbow of the country roads is

believe may be connected with the
