THE TELEGRAMS HEW EQUIP-
MINT.
N Quite recently in The Daily Tele-
gram office, some very noteworthy
improvements in the mechanical
equipment have been made, and oth-
ers are on the tapis when additional
machinery, now en route, bills of
lading already in hand, have been
received.
Mention previously has been made
Of the fact that a second Linotype
machine has been ordered, together
with additional equipment for the
Stereotyping department. This, when
Installed win not only double the
Capacity of The Telegram and Times
for "doing things," but will make
the combined shops second to none
In cities of this class in the State.
Improvements already installed to
be especially mentioned here are the
lew "Tungsten" electric lighting
•ystepi, and a Remington "visible
writer" machine. The lighting sys-
tem was placed thruout the offices
and shop of The Telegram by the
Temple Electric Co., Mr. \V. Poste
Carr, proprietor, and under his per-
sonal supervision, which accounts for
the splendid workmanship thus re-
presented. And, it is in the forego-
ing respects that the local editor is
"rolling in luiury," to use that ex-
pression, or, in other words, enjoying
all the comforts of Metropolitanism;
since it is he that is pertlcularly bene
fitted thereby Mr. Carr, as a mark of
appreciation (for the contract or the
local reporter, no matter) swung a
special "Tungsten" lamp together
With a green-painted shade directly-
over the reporter's desk, leaving a
Bote expressing compliments. And
With the softly reflected rays from
the lamp falling on the "visible wri-
ter" received yesterday—if the local
man during the next few days evi-
dences over-chesilneas, just forget it,
he'll be meaning no harm.
The Remington machine above
mentioned is one of the first to be
received in the State. It has all of
the advantages of the other "visible"
models, together with all that the
brand. Remington, signifies. It is
likewise the first model of the sort to
be received in Temple, consequently
attracted attention yesterday by the
numerous callers at The Telegram
Met.
The farmers who sell cream to the
Pwis Creamery say their cows pay
them an average of $4 per month
«aeh clear of all expenses for feed,
care and labor. On that basis 100
flows are a pretty comfortable asset,
asd a creamery is a pretty good thing
tor any community.—San Angelo
Press News.
Am a dividend payer these cows will
»trust stock for first place. Reck-
oning them to be worth $150 each,
they are paying their owner a divi-
dend of more than 30, per cent. The
capital stock of a business enterprise
making such a showing would
worth three or four times its par val-
ue. In the face of such a showing
no further argument in favor of
cr€&inerteg should be nwtssary.-—Ft.
Worth Record.
At least that's the way w$ look at
It here in Temple, and in very prac-
tical manner, we have gone about ex-
emplifying the same by organizing a
creamery company; the machinery for
the plant having already been or-
dered.
OUX SCHOOLS. •
On Tuesday Not. S, the people of
Texas are to decide a great school
question. The Constitution of Texas
dsicriminates against her schools. It
will be in our hands on that day to
remedy an unjust restriction. Do we
all understand what the amendment
means? Let us listen: Article 7,
Section 3 of the Constitution requires
that before any district can levy a
school tax there must be cast two
votes for the tax to one against the
tax. Also, that a country district
can levy only 20 cents on the 100
dollars valuation of property, while
cities and towns are allowed to vote
as much as 75 cents on the 100 dol-
lars. If amended the Constitution
will allow a school tax to be voted
on by a majority and permit as
much as 50 cents oa the 100 dollars
valuation.
Let every man ask hmself the ques-
tion, isn't it fair to vote a school tax,
as all other taxif, by a majority vote?
Isn't It democratic? Isn't it Ameri-
can? Isn't it right? Texas stands
alone in this unfair treatment of her
children. Of the entire forty six
states not another one requires more
than a majority to levy a school tax.
Is not a majority vote a safe vote?
Can not the people be entrusted with
their school affairs?
There are those who may wonder
how Texas comes to stand in this at-
titude alone. It is only necessary
for us to remember the date of the
adoption of our Constitution. Re-
member 1875—when the question
and carpet-bag rule worried our peo-
ple. It is not to be wondered so
much that they threw the two-thirds
restriction about them. The only
woader is that they have permitted
it to remain this way so long. Let us
come along in the Democratic line;
allow our schools to keep progress
with our material development.
Let us notice some of the effects
upon our schools: As a result of
this discrimination, Texas ranks mis-
erably low when compared to the
other States. In spite of her magni-
ficent permanent school fund Texas
is shown by the comparative table to
rank 36th in the amount of monev
I
spent per child; 40th In the a
length of school term; 40th In the
per cent of acholaatlc population en-
rolled in her schools; 44th in the
average daily attendance of her pu-
pils; 43d In the per cent of her
money raised by local tax. The
average amount raised in the U. S.
per pupil in 1905-6 was $12.89; in
Texas $5.84. These figures are a
shame to the proud citizenship of
Texas. When we come to think that
it is our country schools that give
the low rank and that seven hundred
thousand children live in these rural
districts, we must see that some-
thing must be done. Not a five cent
piece can be raised for buildlngB or
running expense without the unjust
two-thirds rule. Twenty votes may-
defeat thirty nine. No wonder our
conditions are miserable. We ear-
neatly urge every man to atudy care-
fully the needs of our schools. These
schools and school buildings ought
to be the pride of our hearts. Poor
as they are, they are the hope of the
future. Every man, rich or poor,
ought to be interestd in the education
of our girls and boys. The perpeuity
[of our institutions depends upon it. I
■ When you go to the polls on Nov.j
[3d, realise that you hold the Texas
[schools in your hands for weal or woe
Look back over the fields of Texas
and see her seven hundred thousand
[country boys and girls toiling from
morn till night. Will you deny them
the opportunities for a fair educa-
ton? Even where all are anxious
will you say your schools must be
meagre? Let us vote for the School
Amendment and give the Texas boys
and girls a fair chance and a square
deal.

Where autumn made a golden way.
With many a crimson banner gay.
With lanes bedight in oriole flame,
And woodlands burning bright—she
came!
Her lips were summer's as of bid;
And like a rose amid the gold,
She stood with blooufy grace where
fell
The spirit of the autumn spell!
One day to dream again her dream,
To lift her silver veil; to gleam
In lily raiment and bright skies
And azure of her velvet eyes!
At dawn upon the bough a wing
Of bird-song flamed; and April thing;
And in the fields where we had seen
Her beauty fade, back came the
greeo!

Tonight, perhaps the North may
blow,
And morning bring its rime of
snow—
But Summer is in town today,
A primrose dream that cannot stay!
