speckle around the end. It was
of the Rowden variety and rais-

Weekly Weather Forecast
-Issued by the U. S. Weather
Bureau, for the week beginning
July 6, 1915, for Texas:
The week will be one of gener-
ally fair and moderately warm
weather.
Three parties filed suits for
divorces at Paris last week, with
a request that the newspapers
not publish their --names in that
connection. The Advocate wants
to know why.
Rank statements published last
week showed that Deport had
about $3,000 more money on de-
posit subject to check than Blos-
som. We wonder if this week's
Bee will tell how it happened.
Since the continued wet spell
the weeds have been “working
while we sleep,” as well as in
day time, and a great many of
our walks and streets are. look
ing very unsightly. Let’s cut ’em.
We havn’t heard half a dozen
members of the Commercial
Club mention Deport’s fair since
last week’s issue of The Times.
Surely our business men are not
going to do without an exhibition
this year!
Paris has placed her foot on
the neck of the Sunday motion
picture business. On a recent
Sunday the proprietor of one of
Paris’ popular theatres opened
his doors and gave the people a
complimentry performance. He
was arrested, plead guilty, and
was fined $10,
The Paris News recently con-
tained an ilem telling of a very
lazy individual. In cultivating
his crop he did the plowing on a
riding cultivator, while his child
ren did the hoeing. It is said
that in order to keep from help-
ing the children hoe, he would
“hang up” one set of the sweeps
to lessen the probability of catch-
ing up with the hoe hands.
A government report estimates
that at the present rate of tick
eradication, this country will be
free of them within fiften years.
Ticks cost the south millions of
dollars every year. In Alabama
and Mississippi, for example, the
average price for beef on >the
hoof was, on January 1, only 4
cents a pound. In Connecticut
it was 8.4, and in no tick-free
state was it as low a^ 5 cents.
We are just in receipt of the
proceedings, or minutes, of the
meeting of the Texas Press Ass-
ociation at Corpus Christi. Every
newspaper man in the State
should be a member of the As-
sociation. A copy of the minutes
is worth $10, and the yearly dues
are only $1.50. Wharton, we
want you, Crosby, Frvar, Fort,
Bagwell, Woodard, and the rest
of the Northeast Texas bunch to
write Secretary Sam P. Harben,
Richardson, for an application
blank right now.
The rains of the past two weeks
have filled with water, all ditches,
ponds, low places, tin cans, etc.,
and caused the weeds to grow as
if by magic. These places afford
splendid breeding grounds for
mosquitoes. Dr. Steve Grant
informed us Wednesday that
there is considerable malaria in
this immediate section and that
unless the ditches and ponds^are
drained or oil poured over them,
the cans and other receptacles
hauled off and the weeds cut, he
feared an epidemic of the disease.
Sulphur Booming
Drs. Grant and Eudy were
called to Hagensport Tuesday to
perform an operation for gall
stones upon Mrs. Richard Goode.
The north approach to the Daw-
son Sulphur bridge was washed
away, water was out over the
bottoms and the trip was made
by boat from the bridge right up
the middle of the road for a mile
and a quarter. Dr. Grant reports
that a large oak that stood on the
north bank of Sulphur near the
bridge had been blown down
across the middle of it and would
probably crush the bridge in
when the water went down.

A. i M. COLLEGE AND UNIURSITY
DIVORCEMENT ELECTION JULY 24.
BURGES AKliUES FOR 34.
The following unanswerable rea-
son* for tha separation of the A. A
M. College and the State University
are from Hon. Richard F. Burgee,
member of the Legislature from El
Paso County. Mr. Burgea is a grad-
uate of the University and is one of
the strongest and most influential
members of the University alumni:
Hon. R. T. Milner,
Manager Executive Committee
for the Promotion of Higher
Education,
Brvan, Texas.
Dear Mr. Milner:
In my opinion, House Joint Reso-
lution No. 34, commonly known as
the Sackett Resolution, should be
adopted at the election to be held oq
the fourth Saturday, which is the
24th day, of July, for the reason that
the people of Texas, both as evidenc-
ed by declarations in Democratic
platform, by resolutions of represen-
tative bodies of farmers, and by suc-
cessive votes in the State Legislature,
have definitely expressed their desire
that the University of the State and
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College should be separated from
each other and each given a distinct
and independent status.
The Sackett Resolution presents
this issue to the people of Texas in
the simplest form. No question ot
bond issue is involved in it, and no
proposal of a permanent tax levy.
The division of the permanent en-
dowment fund, as embraced in the
resolution, was arrived at by mutual
agreement and compromise, and is
probably as just as can be reasonably
expected.
The especial advantage to the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College
will be that the Colle*ge will be re-
moved from the equivocal and uncer-
tain position in which it now stands
in perplexing uncertainty as to
whether or not it is only a branch
college of the State University, sub-
ject to the constitutional inhibition
against appropriations for perman-
ent buildings.
The equally important advantages
to the University from the adoption
of the Sackett Resolution will be the
removal from the Constitution of
the unwise and unnatural provision
forbidding appropriation for per-
manent buildings. It is difficult to
conceive how the University (which
has long since outgrown its clothes)
can ever be suitably housed until this
provision has been voted from the
Constitution, as would be done by
the adoption of the Sackett Resolu-
tion.
I earnestly believe that only two
intelligent courses are open to the
people of this State concerning the
University and the Agricultural and
Mechanical College: Either they
must be consolidated in government
and organization, or they must be
completely separated and allowed to
work out their separate destinies.
If former expressions of the will
of the people are still indicative ol
the desire of the people of this
State, then the two schools must be
separated.
That is the sole real issue to be
voted on in July. It is not compli-
cated, nor encumbered by any pro-
posals of permanent bond issues, per-
manent tax levies, or other inci-
dentals or side issues.
If the Sackett Resolution is adopt-
ed, a clear and definite policy will
Imve been established by the people,
and it will only remain for the legis-
lature and the governing authorities
of the University and College to car-
ry out the will of the people.
(Signed)
Richard F. Burges,
Of El Paso.
PROF. DOUGHTY FAVORS SEPARATION.
Prof. W. F. Doughty, State Su-
perintendent of Public Education, is
unalterably in favor of the separa-
tion of the A. & M. College from the
University. In a letter to the Man-
ager of the Committee for the Pro-
motion of Higher Education in Tex-
as, he says: “In my opinion, both
schools will make greater progress
under separate boards, and, no
doubt, separation would end the
envious feeling that seems to exist
on the part of some zealou* friends
of both institutions.”
EX SENATOR J. W. BAILEY FAVORS
SEPARATION OF A. & M. COLLEGE
AND THE UNIVERSITY.
In a letter to the Manager of the
Executive Committee for the Promo-
tion of Higher Education in Texas,
Senator Bailey says:
“It is doubtleee true that the Uni-
versity of Texas and the A. A M.
College can be successfully conduct-
ed under tl« same control; but I
feel certain that each can be more
•uecessfully conducted under a sep-
arate control. While I desire to see
the A. & M. College separated from
the University, I deprecate every act
and all discussion which might cre-
ate an antagonism between the two
institutions. I am one of those who
earnestly desire to see our splendid
system of common schools still fur-
ther broadened and perfected; I ain
also one of those who earnestly de-
sire to sec the University of our
State made all that the sincere
friends of higher education could
ask; I am also one of those who be-
lieve that as the greatest agricul-
tural state in the Union, Texas
should have the greatest Agricultural
aud Mechanical College in the world,
and I hope that those now in author-
ity, and those hereafter called to ex-
ercise authority in our State, will
resolutely set themselves to the ac-
complishment of that end.
1ERRELL FAVORS SEPARATION.
Hon. R. T. Milner, Bryan, Texas.
San Antonio, Texas, June 9, 1915.
—Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
favor of tiie 2nd, in reference to
house joint resolution No. 34, and I
would have taken pleasure in reply-
ing earlier, but I have been absent
from the city for the past two
weeks.
I believe that the merits of this
resolution should lie thoroughly pre-
sented to the people of Texas, and I
believe that if this is done, that it
will he adopted by them overwhelm-
ingly at the coming election.
The resolution contains the follow-
ing features fliat I deem of import-,
anee.
It provides for the separation of
the University of Texas from thf
Agricultural and Mechanical college;;

the University of Texas, and the
College of Industrial Arts; it pro-
vides for their organization, develop-
ment, maintenance and permanent
improvement, giving to the legisla-
ture the power to provide for their
needs by appropriation or otherwise.
The resolution removes the restric-
tions in the present constitution
against the appropriation of money
for buildings for the University of
Texas; that this last provision is im-
portant, can not he disputed by any-
one, much less those who have jour-
neyed to Austin and have seen the
cheap wooden “shacks” now decorat-
ing the campus of the university of
the largest State in the Union.
The resolution further provides
for the division of the university
lands, giving the Agricultural and
Mechanical college 600,000 acres, the
Prairie View State Normal 150,000
acres, and (he University of Texas
the remainder.
The present constitution provides
that the permanent fund of the Uni-
versity of Texas ean be invested
only in bonds of the State of Texas
and the United States? There are
no State of Texas bonds for sale, and
the bonds of the United States pay
a very low rate of interest. The pro-
posed amendment would allow the
investment of the permanent fund in
the bonds of the United States, the
State of Texas, counties in this
State, or other securities which, in
mv judgment, means the securities
of any district authorized by law to
issue bonds and levy taxes to pay off
such bonds. The fact that Texas
bonds could not be secured, and that
United States bonds paid so low a
rate of interest, lias caused the uni-
versity land to he held intact. Much
of these lands, should this resolution
he adopted, will be opened to home-
seekers, who will be able to purchase
it on long time and at a reasonable
rate of interest. 1
I believe that the adoption of this
resolution will settle the eontrover-
sies that have arisen between the
University of Texas and the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college. It
will give to both institutions better
prospects for maintenance and per-
manent improvement. It will allow
Ihe University of Texas, as well as
Dther institutions, to secure adequate
buildings.
I sincerely hope that the resolution
wilj be acted upon favorably by the
people, for it will'certainly be an im-
provement over the present constitu-
tion. Yours very truly,
Chester H. Terrell.
