HON. N. D. MORRIS
FAvoRs SEPARATION

Col. r. T. Miner. Bryan. Texas.
Dear Sir-I have just received
your letter concerning the constitu.
tional amendment to be voted on
Saturday, July "a. looking to the com.
plete separation OF the University
and the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, In which you PROFOUND to me
list Of questions to which beg to
reply by stating each question and
the answer following Il:
Q. II this amendment should be
adopted. would II be possible for the
Legislature to issue any bonds by
virtue Of the provisions?
A. Most positively no. have
read very carefully this amendment
and wish to say that any well inform.
ed lawyer will so advise you.
Q. How would the adoptionpf this
amendment benefit the University?
A. The benefits are so numerous
that II would take too much space TO
answer. but I will mention a few. II
would completely and finally sepa.
rate the University and the Agricul.
tural and Mechanical College. This
would take both institutions out Of
politics. This alone would be suffi.
cient merit to call upon every
patriotic citizen TO vote for H. II
would give the Legislature authority
TO erect upon the campus at Austin
adequate buildings for the care and
protection Of the children who attend
that institution. The provisions now
made for additional room gives the
University campus the general ap-
pearance OF country fair or a wagon
yard. wish every voter In the
State could look at the campus and
see the old wooden buildings and
shacks scattered about over II.
Past Legislatures would have made
sufficient appropriations to take care
OF this institution. but the constitu.
ton as II now stands forbids II.
O. How would the defeat Of said
amendment hurt the University?
A. II would leave II in politics: Il
would leave the old wooden shacks;
II would leave perpetual jealousy
and a political wrangle existing be-
tween the University and the other
educational institutions Of the State.
each trying to get the best OF the
other.
Q. How would the adoption Of
said amendment benefit the Agricul.
tural and Mechanical College?
A. As stated about the University.
the benefits are too numerous to men.
ton. II would make Il an independ-
ent educational institution; II would
take II out Of politics: divorce II from
the University: II would give II an
independent fund: II would give the
Legislature authority TO provide ade-
1uate buildings and facilities for its
maintenance and would give II per.
petual fixed home. whereas at present
any Legislature would have the right
under the constitution 10 move II
from one neighborhood to another as
often as II might suit the political
party In power. The State has spent
too much money at College Station
and the institution is too useful and
the people OF Bryan have done too
much for the institution TO leave II
subject to the viii Of each passing
Legislature. With this amendment
adopted. every farmer. every me
chanic. every machinst. In fact. every
man in this State who might desire
the best educational institution of ifs
kind in the world and for the least
money, would be assured at once

A. & n. College and University enforcement
Pertinent Reasons WIZ Resolution - Should Adopted
Election July 24th

Institution OF this school for colored
people: II gives this institution a per
manent endowment and makes Il a
fixed constitutional policy OF the
State. whereas without this amend.
ment adopted any Legislature could
wipe II on the map or so cripple II
as to render II absolutely helpless.
Q. What about the College Of In
dustrial Arts for White Girls at Den.
ton:
A. II makes this a fixed constitu.
tional institution and makes ample
provision for its permanent mainte-
nance. and every man who wants his
daughter educated at a moderate cost
should take pleasure In voting for
this amendment. This amendment
would give the College Of Industrial
Arts for White Girls at Denton fixed
home. an independent board and give
the Legislature full authority 10 prop
erly provide for Il.
should add that this amendment
also provides for junior agricultural
and mechanical colleges 20 be under
the control Of the College Station
board. and that this provision sooner
or later will be the pride OF this
State. II Il Is adopted. Under this
that he had II. While students Of
this college would be In sharp rivalry
with the University students. such
rivalry would be proper and would
be free from the malignant. bieoted
kind Of rivalry heretofore prevailing.
The graduates going out from these
respective institutions would be more
friendly to each other and the wei.
fare Of the State would be better
cared for In the future.
Q. How would II hurt the Agri.
cultural and Mechanical College II
the amendment is defeated?
A. II would just simply leave II In
It's present helpless condition. de-
pending entirely on the pleasure 81
the University. and the same old
mean spirit that now prevails be-
tween the two institutions would
continue. Nobody would know how
soon a Legislature would move the
institution to Austin or destroy Il.
and there would be no stability Of
character. without which no college
can prosper.
Q. What about the Prairie View
SCHOOL,
A. Every self.respecting negro In
the State should vote for this amend
ment because II makes a permanent
provision junior agricultural and me
chanical colleges. which means the
same kind on a smaller scale. can be
established at such convenient points
In the State as will make them ac-
cessible to those who wish to patron.
ize them.
As you know, am highly in favor
OF better educational facilities in all
departments; that ! have for several
years patronized the University. and
that am very, very friendly to both
institutions. and in the interest OF
both. as well as the other schools af-
fected. I sincerely trust that this
amendment win be adopted.
Yours truly.

Musical Entertainment.

Miss Memo Vineyard, one of
the music teachers in the high
school ut this place, decided to
give two evenings for the recit-
al of all her pupils.
On May 18th the more ad-
vanced class cave theirs in the
school auditorium to large
and appreciative audience.
They all showed marked i'm
provement in time and tech
nique since their recital n year
ago.
Miss Vineyards patrons
should feel proud of having n
teacher so painstakng and
earnest in the progress of her
pupils.
We feel that she is trying to
develope in each child a love
for music that is worth while
Every number on her program
was by the best authors and her
work all through the year has
been of this character.
The younger class gave their
recital on May 24th.

TO INSPECT FARMERS SCALE

The farmer who weighs products for
the market over his farm scales is sub
ject to inspection by the state inspec-
tor of scales at any time he desires his
scales to be inspected, or at any time
any purchaser of his products desires
such inspection, the farm scale pro-
vision being, that the board of rail
way commissioners shall not be oblig-
ed to inspect or test farm scales ex-
cept upon request of the owner or
some person using or about to use,
and in such case under reasonable
conditions, rules and regulations and
the payment of proper charges there
for to be fixed and prescribed by the
board of railway commissioners"
"The board Of railway commission
ers shall fix a fee of one dollar for
each inspection or test of such scales,
to be paid by the person, firm or cor
same; provided that the fee to be fixed
by the board of railroad commission
ers for inspecting or testing any farm
scale may be more or less than the fee
for inspection or test Of any other
scales under the jurisdiction of the
commission as the commission may in
it's judgment deem to be proper" The
railway commissioners at their option
may order the owners or operators OF
any track scales and all other scales
in this state used by common carriers
or by shippers for the purpose of
weighing cars or freight offered for
shipment in car load lots, and all stock
scales at stockyards, and all private,
farm and town scales used in weigh
ing hay, grain, wool coal and like sub
jects of commerce." to equip such
scales with a sealing device consider
ed to be proper and safe, and a penal
ty of a fire of not less than 800 nor
more than $500 is imposed for tamper-
ing with such device.
In other words, all farm scales in
the state are placed under the same
regulations and control as are COM
mercial and railway scales, with the
exceptions that the farm scales need
not to be inspected except on request
of owner or user, and when so inspect
ed the fee is not limited as in case of
commercial scales.

3,417 PEOPLE
IN BROOK|NGS
STATE CENSUS SHOWS THAT WE
HAVE GROWN SOME IN THE
LAST FIVE YEARS
INCREASE OF NEARLY 500 SINCE 1910
No Students Were Counted by Emu
merators and Bookings Actually
Has Population of over 1000

Assessor Rexford completed his
enumeration of the city this week and
finds that there are 3,417 people in
Bookings. A commercial club com
mittee, headed by r. F. Kerr, assisted
the enumerators in rounding up the
s~tragglers, quite a few being found the
last few days.
These figures, while perhaps a little
disappointing, still indicate that Brook
ings is growing. The government CEN
sus five years ago found 1915 people
here, so hat we have increased at
the rate of about 100 people a year.
This is no boom by any means, but it
is a good steady growth and that Is
much more to be desired than any
number of booms.
These figures are a little misleading,
in that they do not quite do the city
justice. The students who are here
for nine months in the year could not
be counted, having been registered at
their home towns, in spite of the fact
hat they spend the greater part of the
year in Brookings. When this is taken
into account. it will be seer that we
easily have over 1000 people here the
greater part of the year.

er days. A period of warm sunshine
will undoubtedly make a great differ
ence in corr prospects and will do
much to allay the fear Of a short crop,
Wholesale and retail business
throughout the entire district is in
very fair condition and collections are
fair to good. In the copper districts
of northern Michigan and Montana
there is unusual activity and the iron
mining region of northern Minnesota
shows an improvement in business.
Wisconsin paper mills and the paper
mills in Minnesota are not experience
ing a very rapid recovery and the lum-
Der business is depressed, although the
seasonal demand is beginning to exert
some influence.
A considerable degree of optimism
prevails over all of South Dakota. All
of the small yrains are in fine condi-
ton, although the growth of the corn
crop has been retarded. There has
been a considerable increase in the
acreage of alfalfa this year, and this
important forage crop is making a
good growth and is in fine condition.
The demand for horses continues
strong and wool is beginning to move
to market.

JUNE WEATHER

June, 1915, produced 3.55 inches Of
moisture. The showers were well dis
tributed during the month and were
of great benefit to growing crops Of all
kinds. June 1914 produced 9.36 inches,
nearly as much as we have had during
the entire first half of the present year.
The excessive amount of moisture re-
ceived last June proved to be detri.
mental to the crops, especially small
grain, as it grew too fast and too rank
to stand the trying ordeal of hot, sultry
weather during July, when black rust
put in a general appearance and raised
havoc with the crops. This year, so
far, conditions have been more favor
able and at the present time are con-
sidered entirely satisfactory. The
small grain is healthy and strong and
all that is needed is a few more timely
showers during the next three weeks
and the result of the 1915 crop will be
