TALKING CLOWN HAS GONE
REPLACED BY CoMlcAL HORDE,

No one need feel sorry for the poor
little young ones who grew up never
knowing what a clown was like. Now.
adays the successful Sells-Floto circus
fun-producer adapts his clowning quite
as much to the grown.ups as to the
youngsters. The one, the only, the In
imitable clown that used to be char
acter of such importance that his
name was heralded in photographic
splendor is gone, but horde OF just
as clever and more vigilant cut-ups
has replaced him.
The funny old clown who sang the
comic song, reeled off quip and conun-
drum and made the ringmaster ride.
ulous. has become medley, a multi.
tude OF abstracts, a whirlwind of un.
identified comedy. catering to all
ages.
The reason is quite obvious. The
Sells-Floto arena is so large that 10
one clown can be the cynosure OF all
eyes, the privileged jester whose sole
efforts stand out conspicuously and
individually. There must needs be a
small arm OF the chalk.faced laugh
producers in order to simultaneously
amuse the great audiences The ply
steal growth OF the circus. due TO its
popular acceptance as the conceded
national amusement. has forced per
sonal appeal to yield to organization
and ensemble.
But II takes even keener and more
inventive mind to be a successful mod
ern clown. He must be a producer, an
originator. quick to take advantage in
burlesque Of events occupying public
attention, prompt and ingenious In In
Extensively seizing upon 'idIosyncra
sizes OF persons In the public eye and
alert In his own creations. His con
ceptlons must be extremely original
and his costumes and mechanical aids

progress is in direct ratio to the edu-
cation OF the people. This is just as
true industrially as 1t is socially. The
average earning power in dollars and
cents OF any community can be meas.
ured accurately by the average intel
ligence OF the people Of that commun-
ity. Education Is not ONE road, II Is
the ONLY road to progress and pros.
perity This being true, we must edu.
cate; Texas must educate her boys
and girls; Brazos county must edu.
cate its boys and girls-not a part OF
them but all OF them; and we must
give them not a meager smattering
we must give them at least fair
chance to equip themselves adequate
ly. But this will take money. Good
schools, manned by good teachers and
provided with good equipment, cannot
be had in any other way. This money
must be raised by taxation. and the
proposed amendment merely gives the
people OF each school district and
each county the right to determine
the matter by majority vote OF the
property tax payers. without outside
interference.
The proposed measure is in no
sense radical; II Is very conservative.
Texas is yet far behind the other
states in her provisions for education.
In Texas the school tax limit for 10
cal purposes Is 8 mills: in Arkansas II
is at present Z mills. and the people
will In November vote on an amend
ment to raise this to IL mills; Okla
homa has n state school tax limit OF 10
mills. while Louisiana has a limit OF
16 mills, with no limit whatever on
local taxes, The friends OF education
In Texas are asking for limit Of only
5 mills in the county and 10 mills In
the school district. 1t should be ex'
planned here that the proposed amend
ment will In no way affect the pres
ent state school fund; II will apply
only to county and to district taxa
eI.s aA..t
ton. s, .s, ,......,.
I can conceive OF but two reasons
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1916-10-31

why any man might oppose this meas
ure. One Is that he should not be-
lieve in popular education; the other
is that he should be too selfish and
stingy to be willing to contribute his
part toward a thing which he pro
fesses to believe in. Indeed, the case
against him is stronger than that; the
man who opposes this resolution must
do so upon the ground that he Is UNI
willing to leave the matter OF the pub
lie support of the common schools to
a majority vote OF the property tax
PAYERS of his own community; he Is
opposed to the Democratic principle OF
majority rule in matters OF universal
popular interest.
There is every reason why the vot'
tiers in the rural districts should, to a
man, support this measure. The coun'
try schools are to be the first and the
largest beneficiaries. The measure VIII
be at least one step toward bringing
up the advantages and opportunities
OF the country boy and girl to an
equality with those enjoyed by the pu'
pills OF the city schools. But the
measure should be just as strongly
supported by the towns. II they do
not feel the need OF its provisions In
their own school affairs. they ought
to be unselfish enough to favor the
measure for the good 1t will bring to
others. A strong vote in Bryan for
the measure will be evidence OF the
interest the people Of Bryan feel In
the welfare and the development OF
Brazos county as whole. Why should
there be one vote cast against the
amendment in Brazos county?

AN APPEAL TO THE VOTERS
OF BRAZoS COUNTY.

AS member Of the county board OF
education | want to appeal to every
voter In the county to support the
measure known as House Joint Reso-
luton 30, which is to be submitted to
a vote OF the people on November 7th
The difficulty in passing any con-
stitutional amendment lies in the fact
that the average voter will invariably
vote against the measure unless he
clearly understands its provisions, and
the further fact that too frequently he
does not take the trouble to inform
himself. 1t would be a regretable re-
Election on the intelligence and the
progressive spirit of our county
should these causes operate to defeat
the measure under consideration. or
even to give to II halfhearted en-.
dorsement.ls
The purpose OF the measure is the
improvement OF the public schools OF
the state especially3the rural schools;
and II is clearly based upon the right
OF local self.government. II adopted,
the effect will be, first, to give to any
school district In the state the right to
assess by majority vote the property
tax payers OF that district a maximum
of 10 mills on the dollar for the sup
port OF the public schools OF that dis
trict; and, second. to give to. any
county In the state the right to fix by
majority vote of the property tax pay
ers OF the county a limit of mills on
the dollar, for the support Of all the
public schools OF the county. f.I
Let 1t be clearly Understood that
the adoption OF the proposed amend
ment will not raise the tax rate nor
fix one dollar Of tax upon any man or
upon any community; 1t, will merely
give 10 the people the right TO deter
mine that matter locally for them
selves. i.tsf cit

movement and posturing remain to
him.
That he succeeds In his purpose Is
proved, because we hear no deploring
OF the elimination OF the talking
clown. To the boy OF today and the
older boy, his father, there is still
nothing in all the varied catalogue OF
the circus that quite compares with
the comicalities OF the forty Sells
Floto clowns who are coming TO
Bryan on Tuesday, November 7. To
those who enjoy the antics Of the
white-faced boys. there will be much
to interest them. including new con.
trivances in keeping with the latest
inventions and satirical OF current
events and topics.
