Mr.. Smith is a splendid type of
American manhood, a gentleman of
education and culture. He has spent
all his life in an agricultural section
and knows the needs of the farmer
and the business interests of the two
counties.
His character, his life, public and
private, is absolutely impregnable.
For 33 years he has been a resident
of this city and he stands well with
our farmers and citizens.
He will absolutely give the farmer
and this agricultural district, Brown
and Redwood counties a SQUARE
DEAL.
He stands for high class patriotic
citizenship.
He is public spirited and generous
giver to all private and public objects.
He is pledged to no faction or spec
ial interest that will prevent him from
doing his plain duty as a good citi-
zen and member of the senate. He
is absolutely untrammeled and will be
free to act accordingly.
He has conducted a fair and honor
able campaign and has INDUCED in
no personalities or "mudslinging."

Major w. w. Smith and campaign
manager, w. R. Hodges of Sleepy Eye,
were in town a few minutes Monday
on their way to Wabasso. Mr.. Smith
is meeting with much encouragement
in both Redwood and Brown counties
for the state senatorship.
From our personal acquaintance
with w. w. Smith of a good many
years, we can truthfully say that
there is not a man in the two coun-
ties who is better fitted for the Office
of state senator when it comes right
down to character, business ability
and fair mindedness.
Mr.. Smith is not fanatic or crank
who would go to the capitol and try
to revoluntionize the world, and there
by make a fool of himself. He is a
man of good, sound judgment, who
from his thirty years continuous resi-
dence in the district, always taking
great interest in public welfare, has

critics. and arc said to have taken ad-
vantage OF them by dissipation.
That such an idea is abroad in China
was attested by an article in the Pc
king Daily News. read by the minister
without comment which stated:
One of the greatest dangers of the
changing period in China is the ten
dency to cut away from moral restraints
into loose living. Several phy-
sicians in Peking. and in other places
in China, have informed me that there
Is Il great increase in social diseases
The large number of students gathered
under new conditions in government
schools may be one cause of this con-
dition. Another cause. however. is that
some men in China are teaching that
immoral life is not contrary to the pre-
cepts of the ancient sages."
The article proceeds to describe the
teaching of free love and short, or So
Cailed trial. marriages, under the guise
of Confucianism
Il do not believe there is any great
spread of the social evil" Minister
Shah said. beyond that | do not care
to discuss the matter. 1t is no question
for a minister to discuss. anyway" he
remarked, with a twinkle in his eye
which suggested that he might have
been aware of the pun.
Keen Sense of Humor.
Whether he was or not, he is said to
have 4 keen sense of humor, and he
admitted getting much "mirth" oLt Of

The significance 0f this. it was eX-

kai Flu Shah, China's New
Minister, Talks Frankly
of Conditions at Home
Higher Education for Women,
Fight Against Vice, Ban on
Opium, and Sale Of Liquor
Are Freely Discussed.

Attired in clothes of American
0attern, talking fluent English, kal
Fu Shah, ne.' minister from China,
hated freely and frankly about
conditions in his own land and his
IMPRESSIONS of America.
With a good nature and frank
ness, in strong contrast to the usual
'dciturnity of his countrymen, he
discussed recent changes in China,
and tried to correct some of the
impressions about conditions there,
notably those in reference to the
alleged increased sale of alcohol
and the supposed futility of the
ban on opium.
Higher education for Women
in China, and the fight against the
social epH, even, came within the
scope of this remarkably open and
sincere interview. Incidentally, it
IS the first extended comment he
ids made to a newspaper man
since his Uriral.
By ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
Minister Kai Flu Shah typifies
the new spirit of the Orient.
He is free from the suspicious
reserve, the impenetrable reticence
the white man has learned to ex-
peCt instinctlvely. In democracy
and good fellowship he promises
even tC surpass his beloved and
Witty predecessor, WI Ting-fang.
He gave hardly a trace of the
phleEmatic taciturnity of his
people as he chatted with The
Times representative, joked. and
finally laushingly submitted him

have ever been associated" re-
marked one american employe of

And the reporters, photographers.
and movies operators agreed. to

Enforcing Opium Law.
Attention of the minister was
called to the fact that the pro-
hibition of the Chinese govern
ment against opium was not being
enforced.
oh. but it is he replied The
laws against opium are strictly en-
forced. And the stories about the
excessive use Of alcohol, now that
opium cannot be gotten? II there
vas any such use Of alcohol, l do
not know about 1t. 1t is not notice
aoic to any extent. ] believe that il
Is a mistaken notion"
Minister Shah also attached little
weight to the reports printed in
newspapers here that peoples were
being planted by night and the po-
Ice generally Were scared off when
they tried TO interfere
u is true, though. as your papers
have said. that the President has
restored the ceremonials of Con-

No Spell of Secrecy.
But the outstanding impression Great
ed by a talk with Minister Shah. is not
his views, which are remarkably broad
and advanced, but his frank and un-
trammeled expression OF them. Several
times the secretary thought Minister
Shah would not want to talk about that
1t is political"
But each time Minister Shah did want
to talk. And he proceeded TO do so. One
would not consider him garrulous. He
weighs his words carefully. But there
is none of that deep and mystic slell of
secrecy about him, which attaches even
to many European diplomats of an
older school.
When Minister Shah does not wish
to answer a question he says so. And
he will tell you why. But there alW avs

please. the entire willingness to "ob-

THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE
DISCOVERED NEW
CROP FOR TEXAS
Japanese Cane Is the New Crop and
Promises to Rival Sudan
Grass.

Another new crop for Texas has
been discovered by the experiment
station. This new crop Is japanese
cane. and promises to rank along with
Sudan grass, introduced into Texas
by the experiment station at the A.
& NJ. College. which has met such
wide demand in Texas this past year
The new crop Is the rough forage
crop for South and Southeast Texas
japanese cane has been grown in
Texas before, but, like Sudan grass,
was allowed to die out, the farmers
not thinking II OF much value. Expe-
riments conducted at substations Nos.
3, and II. located respectively near
Angleton, Beaumont and Nacogdoches,
have brought the cane into great favor
as a rough forage crop. Visitors to
each OF these stations have been very
favorably impressed with the cane
and demands for seed have been
heavy. The Beaumont station shipped
two carloads Of seed cane to Edna for
distribution this past week. The seed
will be scattered among the farmers
In that vicinity and will meet with
wide use this fall. The cane was in.
spected by ]. o. b. Young of Edna be.
fore It was shipped.
Japanese cane is very similar to the
sugar cane OF Louisiana. but has
tougher stalk and is much more leafy.
II grows to height OF seven to ten
feet 1t is not harvested until late in
the fall The crop is perennial. but
should not be grown too long on the
same field Yields on the experiment
station farms indicate that when
planted in five-foot rows and we'll cul.
tivated crops yielding from twenty to
fifty tons to the acre may be expected.
That is a yield five to ten times as
heavy as may be secured from corn.
and experts at the station say that
even greater yields than that are not
impossible.
The new crop is suitable for silage.
dry rough feed. fresh green feed or
for winter pasture. At the Beaumont
substation last years crop was stack.
ed in the field and fed to the mules
all winter and spring.
The cane has another advantage.
and that is that II will stand at leas,
ten degrees OF frost. 1t is a hardy
plant and thrives especially we'll in
the gulf coast country. 1t should be
planted at the beginning Of spring.
Only a small amount Of the seed
are available for planting but the ex-
pertinent station hopes through its
associations to place the seed in the
hands Of practical farmers. thus in
surfing an ample supply for next year.

The demands.
