J. L. FOUNTAIN FOR REPRESENTATIVE

The Eagle takes pleasure in call
ing the attention of the people OF
Brazos county to the announce
ment of Hon. ]. l.. Fountain for
reelection to the legislature from
Brazos county, which comprises
the Forty.fifth district, subject to
the democratic primaries DR..
Fountain has served during three
regular and several called sessions
Of the legislature, and has made a
vigilant and business.like repre-
sentative. He has always been
prompt in his attendance upon the
sessions of the house, and at his
post to guard the interests of his
constituents. He has always been
assigned important committee APP
pointments, and it is in the work
Of the committees where the wise
Bryan morning eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1898-1909, 1906-04-19

and conservative representative
has the best opportunity to serve
with most efficiency. DIR. Foun-
tain's work for the A. and NJ. Col
lege. in the interest Of securing APP
preparations, has also been notably
successful, and it is generally rec
ognized that while this is a state
institution, it is one of the most
important local interests. His ex-
pegience and knowledge of the de-
tails of his duties, together with
his large acquaintance with a ma
iority of the men who will likely
compose the next legislature are
valuable requisites for his service.
DR.. Fountain has resided in Bryan
thirty.neo years and is life long
democrat, active in the service OF
his party.
In this connection we may add
that DIR. Fountain introduced the
bill to pay special veniremen who
respond to summons, whether they
are taken or not. He got the bill
passed by the house, but the SEN
ate defeated it.
DIR. Fountain offers for re-elec-
ton on the record he has made,
and rests his claims with the peo-
pie of Brazos county.

Rather an interesting claim has
been made recently by Mr.. Ed
ward J. Hall, well known tele-
phone man, 10 the effect that the
use ofthe telephone tends To equal
ize and change the human voice.
He says. The southern accent,
too, is rapidly disappearing. There
are many cause.-the southerner
travels more; he uses the language
Of commerce today where twenty
years ago 1t was the language Of
literature; but, above all, looms
the fact that the long distance tel
ephone is used so much more gen.
orally and so frequently. The
use of the telephone, little as the
casual onlooker may think Of ii, is
bringing all normal voices to a
sameness of pitch and engrafting
similarity of enunciation. In
fact, the telephone is gradually
changing the voices Of the ma
ton"
This is rather a surprising state
ment, but the man who makes il
is a close observer Of facts. PEG.
pie as a rule talk louder than there
is any need Of when using a tele-
phone. This may bring about a
louder and more distinct speech
with the general public.-The

Psychological schools are not
nearly so numerous in the southern
half Of the Union as in the north
ern half, nor has the idea oftechni-
cal education obtained so firm a
foothold in the South as 1t has In
the East, but we are making pro-
gress. There are Industrial schools
in Texas other than the Agricul.
tural and mechanical College, and
industrial training has became a
feature Of the public schools in
many of the school districts of the
city. We are educating young
men for the farm as well as for the
professions and the result will be
seen in the improved methods Of
farming, in thsapplication Of scien.

Agriculture is as much a science as
medicin cor law or engineering, and
a Burbank who evolves a spineless
cactus, a seedless melon and a new

the tomato and the potato is TO be
credited with as great achievement
as an Edison who iuvents a ma
chine to reproduce the human voice
or Marconi who finds a way to
transmit human thought to dis
tant points without the aid of

We are educating men for the
workshops who will be able to fill
places Of responsibility and trust
and to make their way To- fame
and fortune az captains ofindustry,

Cabinet Members viii Retire.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Two retire.
ments from the presidents cabinet are
slated for the coming winter. They
are those OF Attorney General Moody,
whose resignation will become effec
tive about the lst of December, and of
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who,
according to present intentions, will
retire in February. For one of the
vacancies to be created the president
will nominate George V. l.. Meyer,
American ambass ador to Russia, but
for the other he is not yet ready to
announce a successor.
MIR. Roosevelt has sought to prevail
on Attorney General Moody to remain
in the cabinet, but the latter, because
OF business arrangements, has found
it impossible to do SO. He would also
like to have Secretary Bonaparte take
Mr.. Moody's place when the latter re-
tires, but the former prefers the posi-
ton at the head OF the navy depart.

Military Occupation of the Island Is he.
lieved To Be Only Temporary.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.--Secretary
Taft cabled to the war department to.
day. requesting that Brig. Gen. Fred.
erick Funston be designated to com.
mand the American troops in Cuba,
and the state secretary issued an or.
der to that effect.
No inform alton has been received 10
Washington which indicates the length
OF time that the United States will oc.
cupy the island Of Cuba. and none of
the officials will venture q prediction
on this subject, but the presumption is
that 1t will be some time before q
stable government can again be placed
10 power and it is expected, in the
meanwhile, a civil governor will be
appointed to administer the aft airs of
the island under the secretary of war.
Unless extraordinary conditions
arise no extra session of congress will
be called to deal with the Cuban situ-
alton, as the president considers he
has ample authority in the matter.
Former Governor Chas. E. Magoon,
OF the Panama canal zone, who has
just returned from Panama, will be
appointed governor Of the provisional
government of Cuba, in succession to
Secretary Taft. Both the president
and secretary had in view the desig.
nation of Gov. Beekman Winthrop, of
Porto Rico, for the Office. The presi.
dent, however, has expressed the be.
lief that he can better spare Governor
Magoon from his duties in the Philip.
pine islands. where he has been ap.
pointed a member of the Philippine
commission and vice governor gen
eral of the islands, than he can the
services of Governor Winthrop for
the several months during which he
expects the provisional governorship
Of Cuba will continue.
Governor Magoon is anxious to 60
to Cuba and his selection for the place
is expected 70 be announced soon.
The president expects Mr.. Taft to re.
turn to Washington in q fortnight or
less.

WOOL. GROWERS ORGANIZE

citizen engaged in the industry. There
have been other organizations Of Mon.

to promise tangible benefits OF a sub

TACT OF THE SPELLBlNDER.
General George A. Sheridan Proves Equal
to an Awkward Occasion.
Leslie's Weekly.

An orator who was equal to an
emergency was the late George A.
Sheridan, who was q noted "spell.
binder often engaged by the republic
can national committee. At a big
meeting he vas addressing in a town
near New York he was introduced by
a Mr.. O'Brien, the chairman, in most
catering terms. In order to recipro.
cate Mr.. Sheridan paid a glowing
tribute to the sterling qualities of the
chairman and wound up the eulogy by
asserting that no man could say MIR.
O'Brien owed him a cent.
"He owes me 49," came a keen Celtic
voice from the real of the audience.
1t was almost a solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience
started to laugh and jeer. Rallying,
the speaker said:
"Don't be alarmed, my good friends:
| will answer that man presently"
This assertion was to gain time and,
if possible, have the audience forget
the incident, but again the penetrat.
ing voice called out:
"He owes me 50 cold cash."
Advancing to the edge of the plat
form, General Sheridan in a confiden.
tial tone said:
"Yes, l know all about the 50, for
my friend MIR. O'Brien has given me
the inside facts. Ladies and gentle
men, the truth is simply this, and il
reveals a peculiar character: Thi:
man who interrupted me met MIR
O'Brien recently and asked him TO,
the loan of $40. Il haven't got ten,
said generous Mr.. O'Brien, but here
are 81 handing the money to him
Now this man is going around saying
my friend, the honorable chairman
owes him @ because he could lend hin
only 81 when 80 was requested"
n roar OF laughter filled the hall ant
the indignant man tried to answer thu
orator. He was howled down. Tn
chairman whispered in Genera
%Sheridan's a
"iou have saved me-you are
