truth consistently and steadily, one
must love the truth. How can report
ers, these historians of the day and
the week, be made to love the truth
so that they will hate any form OF
conscious Misrepresentation? In an
swering this question, we are con-
fronted with the fact that mere
knowledge does not give one moral
power, does not strengthen the will
to do moral things. From a utili-
tartan point of view, the journalist
can not possibly know too much of
the history of all countries and the
history of all branches of civilization.
The more he knows, the more valu-
able he becomes in dollars and cents.
But there never was Journalist
whose sense of moral responsibility
was increased, or whose conscience
was quickened, by the mere crammlng
of facts into his head.
"Yet history can be taught in way
to develop in the student a keen
sense of moral values, particularly in
the line of truth-telling. If history is
all lies,' as Napoleon cynically de-
clared, then it should be cast to the
scrap heap. But if it is the truth, as
nearly as it can possibly be made, the
respect for history means respect for
truth, and love OF history means love
of truth. The problem of the moral
education of the journalist, there
fore, assuming you can catch him
young enough, is that of filling him
with respect for the love of history.
There should be the strongest insist
ence upon the sacredness Of facts.
Truth-telling should be recognized as
the journalists religion.
Analysing Historical Fraud.
practically speaking, why could
there not be in the department of his
tory what one may call historical
post-mortems. or the dissection OF
historical corpses, after the style OF
medical school study of the human
body? Take some event in the past
suitable for the purpose-some event
that aroused controversy and passion
and study it as it appeared to con-
temporaries, in the light of the news
papers, speeches, and public records
of the day, and then study the pro-
cess by which what we call the truth
of history finally triumphed over mis-
representation and falsehood.
"Such study would possess drama
tic interest, inasmuch as it would re-
veal truth and falsehood struggling
for supremacy. The student woulc
see how history as he now reads it II
the books emerged, and the knoWl
edge thus acquired would make him
a sounder judge and a surer critic
of the history being made before hls
own eyes. Having studied in the his
torical clinic many celebrated distor
tions and perversions of the actua
facts, for whatever purpose, by par
tisans. he would learn to reserV'

STEAMER RAMMED.
No Lives Lost in Accident Off Am.
brose Lightship.

On Board Steamship New York.
June 13.-(Via Siasconsett, Mass)-
While the American liner New YORK
west bound, was motionless IN
heavy fog. four hundred miles east
of Ambrose Lightship, early to-day
the Hamburg-American liner Pre-
+oria hound east, ran into her and
rinped a hole y feet high and 81
feet long in her port side.
The hole is flush with the MAN
deck and is Is feet above the water
line. So great was the force OF the
collision that the Pretoria's anchor
was torn from her bow and left hang
ing inside the gap that had been torn
in the New York. Practically all OF the
passengers on both ships were
asleep.
Immediately after the collision the
engines of both ships were ordered
full speed astern and passengers came
hnrrving to the decks. The passeng-
ers of the New York were able to
reach over and touch the bow of the
Pretoria as she pulled away from her
dangerous position. There was no
panic. Capt Roberts and Chief Officer
Turner were both on the bridge at the
time of the collision. They reassured
the frightened passengers, many OF
whom hurried to the starboard side
of the ship, anticipating list to port.
Members of the crew also went
among the passengers and urged
then to be calm.
Upon the orders of Capt. Roberts
the bulkheads of the New York were
closed at 1882 o'clock this morning
because of the density of the fog. This
was about ten minutes before the COL
lison. During this period the Pretoria
replied constantly to fog signals
blown by the New York.
Capt, Roberts blew two long blasts
repeatedly for five minutes prior to
the collision. These whistles indicated
that the New York had stopped. Sud-
denly there was crash, succeeded by
q. sharp tearing sound as the steel
plates and woodwork of the New York
were shattered by the Pretoria's
sharp bow.
Fortunately the watch which oc-
cupied the quarters behind that part
of the ship which was crushed in was
on duty in the stoke hole. Had the
collision occurred while this watch
was off duty a number of lives pro-
badly would have been lost. The Pre-
toria was less damaged by. the COLI
sion than the New York. Several OF
the lates at her bow were sprung and
twisted.
After the passengers had been as
sured that they were in Ao danger
they began to laugh and joke over
the queer costumes in which some OF
the travellers appeared on deck. The
passengers refused to return to their
cabins until daylight. After it was de-
termined that no serious damage
had been done to either of the ships
they proceeded on their way.
No panic or undue excitment pre-
vailed aboard the New York as the
shock was so slight that many of the
passengers were not even awakened.
Because of the fog the New York was
stopped at the time of the accident.
Later she proceeded on her voyage to
New York and at 5 A. M. was $50
miles east of the Nantucket lightship.
The New York left Southampton
for New York on June G., and is due
in New York harbor late tonight.
The Pretoria sailed for Hamburg on
June IL.

That is it's most important obligation
to society and the State. But while
the press in it's relation to history
is of paramount concern as it writes
history, rather than as it utilizes or
makes it, it is we'll to remind ourselves
that perfection in the writing Of his
tory, under any circumstances what
ever, is difficult. Now, the reporter
and l use the word reporter in a
sufficiently broad sense to include all
who ascertain the reporter has his
weakness. But his weaknesses SIM
DIV make him more interesting as a
psychological problem, And if he is
a psychological problem the reporter
is none the less entitled to be called
a historian. There are reporters and
reporters. The ideal reporter doesn't
exist. He couldn't exist. The ideal
reporter would ruthlessly print ab'
solutely everything that is not meant
for publication; and the best current
history, scientifically considered, i
what is not meant for publication
Some of it gets printed occasionally
and then it is apt to be branded by
somebody much concerned as an ABB
solute and wilful falsehood.'

HOLIDAY ASKS
FOR BIC CAME
Former A. & NJ. Fulback Now in
Houston Wants Ratchet Buried
and Relations Resumed.

Tom Holiday, fullblack for the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
College in 1911, beneves that Agri
cultural and Mechanical College and
Texas University should forget any
and all unpleasantries that may have
happened in the past and resume ath'
letic relations.
For two years now" said Holiday
Tuesday morning, these gerat insti'
tutions have been at outs in an ath.
letic way. AS a result the public as
well as the teams have suffered. II
they are to meet again both teams
could lop off one of the minor games
they have scheduled. AS understand
it, the University schedule for 1914
is quite light and many Of the stu.
dents are not satisfied
IF Texas were to play the Farmers
this fall no objections to the schedule
could be offered. Such a game is
logically the game of the season and
it should find a place on the list Of
playing dates"
Holiday speaks both from the
standpoint Of an eX-player and for
mer student. He voices the opinion
held by thousands of graduates Of
both titutions.-Houston Chronicle.

ROBBING THE BABIES.

II have been robbing my babies of
the pleasantest memories of child
hood" writes mother to the Houston
Chronicle in connection with the cam
paign in that city to have everybody
attend church January rs.
Il have been thinking Of the days
when was child and went to church
with my dear old mother. II ] could
live those days over again.
1T now comes to me with shock
the knowledge that ! have not been
to church in years
II have little children now. / see
that ! am robbing them Of some OF
the sweetest memories of childhood
81 am poor; l have not been able
to wear as fine clothes as some Of my
sisters. My pride
II shall take my own little tots to
the church
II shall put into their lives the
memories that have heretofore neg.
lected to prepare for them"
Men or women-we are what we
are in the memories of our childhood.
Way out from civilization, where men
only congregate and where the devil
himself rules them in their struggles
and passions, there is a time when
each man is called Blackjack to the
memories of his childhood, Far re-
moved though he may be from tender
influences, no man will permit a
sighting thought or sighting word
against those days when he toddled
off to Sunday school or church, clean
faced and buttoned up by his mothers
hand. 1t is the memory which holds
him in touch with the other life, and
which finally draws him back to
where mothers and children and
churches are.
Woe to him who would, in a bunch
of isolated men. speak slightingly of
the picture of the mother taking the
little ones to church. lnconceivable,
to these men, would be the case of
family not giving the children the
benefits Of Sunday school.
And yet-right in the heart of
civilization there are those who are
robbing their children of these ma
terials for memory-depriving them
of the often last anchor which holds
them to goodness and tenderness.
II takes just such a recalling of
memories as the Houston mother re-
cites, to bring the realization that
not only among men far away, but
among us ALL in the heart of civiliza-
ton, mothers and fathers alike-the
ways of our lives are shaped in our
childhood and never do we get away
from such memories and influences,
Robbing the babies!
Who Is it, that with the realization
OF what ones own memories mean,
will continue to refuse to babies that
same memory for their lifelong jour
neys?-Temple Telegram.

With the new reserve tank over at
the ice house, Navasota's water sup
ply in the standpipe and reservoir is
daily something over 100000 gallons.
There should be no further excuse for
not getting all the water one wants
to pay for. Also, the people are not
going to complain when they get what
they want.-Navasot Examiner.
An adequate water supply is one
of the greatest assets any town or
city can have. Expansion can only
proceed to certain point with limit
ed water, and before there can be de-
velopment into real city, a never
failing and abundant water supply
must be secured.
