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! College
