A map of the new districts as de
signed by the legislative gerrymander
reminds one of an old-fashioned celes
tial atlaj in which the constellations
were represented by pictures of the
cniraals or other objects after which
they were named. It requires but lit
tle stretch of the imagination to
recognize the Scorpion, the Dipper and
all the other grotesque shapes which
used to excite our childish wonder.
Some of these new districts are fear
fully and wonderfully made.
The Bailey organs are as silent as
the tomb upon Senator Culberson's
proposition to give the voters a chance
to express their choice for president
in the primaries next year. They
know the democrats of Texas would
not endorse the Harmon-Colqultt-Balley
triumvirate, therefore they
dare not accept the challenge of the
Wilson men to give the people a
chance to select the nominees.
We greatly respect our sincere pro
friends, but we don't believe they will
ever convince a majority of the people
of Texas that the manufacture, sale
and use of alcoholic liquors is an un
mixed evil. It would be wiser to take
what they can get. The conservative
antls will co-operate with them in any
reasonable plan for reducing the evils
of the liquor traffic to a minimum.
Seven precincts in Leon county have
recently voted bond issues aggregat
ing $219,000, to be expended in im
proving the public roads. This means
approximately five hundred mile3 of
good roads. And there are others. The
demand for improved highways is
coming up from the people of the
counties all around Brazos.
There is a difference of opinion as
to whether the injury to cotton by the
ptorm was greater than the benefit in
other respects. It will greatly revive
pastures and make fall gardens, turnip
patches and forage crops possible, be
tides cooling the air and abating the
dust.
Editors oughtn't to expose their
ignorance by writing about things
they know nothing of. Some recent
mention of Gila monsters In connec
tion with the admission of Arizona to
statehood shows that the writers don't
know, the difference between a Gila
monster and a barking lizard.
The coming Brazos County Agricul
tural Fair will be very far suiierior ta
anything of the kind over seen in this
part of Texas. In the variety of prod
ucts exhibited it will be surpassed
only by the state fair at Dallas and
the international exhibition at San
Antonio.

NEW TEAGHEBS AT
Li M. COLLEGE
Records of Men Selected to Fill New
Placet and Vacancies in the
Various Departments.
By JAMES HAYS QUARLES.
Y Because of the Increase in the stu
dent body and the usual changes that
occur every year In the teaching force
at A. & M. college, the announcement
is made that a stronger list of men
will be available for teaching this year
than, ever before. Heads ' of depart
ments have been seeking their assist
ants all summer and have been going
over the lists of those who were avail
able and have been selecting the best
to be had at the salaries which are
paid In Texas.
' The faculty of the college will be
unchanged except in two instances.
Lieut. C. L. ' Fenton, Coast Artillery
Corps, U. S. A., succeeds Capt. Andrew
Moses, and there is to be a successor
selected to Charles H. Alvord, who
retires as professor of agriculture.
The president of the college is now
looking for the best teacher of agri
culture to be placed at the head of
that department.
Lieutenant Fenton is not untried in
college work. He has been a teacher
at West Point, where the highest abil
ity is required, and as he has had ex
igence in a military institution
where cadet life is carried out and
where all students live in barracks a?
thev do at A. & M. college, he Is well
fitted for his work at this college as
the head of the discipline of the corps.
While there are few changes in the
faculty, there will be quite a number
of changes in the subordinate teachers
in the college.
in tho mechanical engineering de-
partment Harry E. Smith has been
selected as assistant professor. This

Mr. Frizzell: "His record in scholar
ship with us was good, and partic
ularly good in composition. I have
been uniformly satisfied with the in
telligence and thoroughness of his
ork. He is a man of good presence
and I have no hesitation in recom
mending him strongly for the position
in your college."
