HUM AS WEEDS. “KnfersoQ,” says Prof. Thomas P. Hu^t. “onoe said in his quaint way tbut a weed was a plant, the virtue of which hail not yet been discovered. |i j “Perhaps the statement that a wepd is a plant out of place is the most satisfactory ilefinition of the term as we ordinarily uae it. The plant is not out ct place in nature, bat out of place as far as man is conoertied; in the way, as it were.’-* These words are called to mind by a strong editorial on vagrancy in Tht Galveston-Dallas Newt. Some of us ore inclined, perhaps, to con sider a member of the criminal class as a man out of place. A.nd considering thus we are right in some measure. A man is a weed in so far as he is made a weed by society or by himself. If he has been condemned to work during boyhood in one of the worst type of factories, if he has been de prived of any sore of moral educa tion. if he has been forced to en dure the soft of conditions that the poorest of the huge cities have to bear, he is likely to be a weed when he becomes of age. Unlike the plant, if be is out of place so far as man is concerned, he is out of place in nature. On the other hand, there are men who have put themselves out of place by their deliberate actions. And others have ttimed (Weeds by deliberately- doing nothing. We take men of this class to be worse than their brothers who have been degraded by environment. Each class, howevek, must under our modern comtitkms be made to fill a place if they have non*, j The suggestion made by The News and other papers should, we believe, be carried out. ' Let the vagrant be put to work on the oonn^y roads. Let the Ineeda do your laundry work. Special attention given to rflat work. tf — A NATIONAL WEEKLY'. Probably the most important event in newspaperdom In th* last hundred years is the estftblishtuent of the new Weekly, Ridjjway’t'^ It is a news magazine published sim ultaneously from fotut*4»i differ cm cities of the . United States. Each of these publishing points ha* its editor, advertising manager, and circulation manager; while the headquarters of all ia in ^ew York. Ridgway's prints a weekly summary of the news of the conn-4 try, and the edition pf each indi vidual city has local columns for that city. Editorials are written in New York, and telegraphed from there to the various publish ing centers. A Washington Bureau is maintained. Seemingly not con tent with tbeiij‘reaurhatpe news service, the publishers M giving an excellent literary supplement, together with sixteen pages of photographs of prominent men and things. . {The magazine should prove of great educative value. ATHLETIC MEETING. A meeting of the corps was held in the chapel Friday night, chiefly for the purpose of arousing euthus- iasm among the students. The band opened the meeting with sev eral selections, which were greeted with prolonged cheers and several ycLb. Moore then made s short talk on old time college spirit. He told of how the corps of cadets once met a defeated team in the early hoars of the morning, and gave them the heartiest welcome they bad ever had. He expressed the hope tbat loyalty for A. & M. was not less than it has been, and that tikis year we may make even a better show ing than heretofore. " j Bean was then called fee. He recommended that we get together in everything, yelling especially. Gilbert asked that everyone his best in yelling, just as pect the team tp do their playing. Confidence in otic's self goes a long way, and according to him, “We'll be IT if we think we are.” Wessendorf and Smith* T. A. spoke in favor of scientific cheer ing. Puckett, coming in kite, con demned yelling during tfifc time the opposing team was caSing sig nals. He said we had every rc.i.~<»n to treat T. C.,U. as well as we knew how. i Captain Sargent, being called on for the second time, spoketon the loyalty and afection a student owes to his college. Some of the new men, he said, do not yet feel that the college is in truth part 6f themselves. When a person* gets to feeling an affection for jhis Col lege, however, he had better strive to keep feeling that way, for it is the best way a man can fdel. We should all realize that the!
