The Eagle desires TO thank the
election officers of Bryan and the
county for the assistance rendered
this paper in getting the returns.
The Eagles Sunday morning re-
port indicated how the state had
gone for governor, also indications
in the congressional and district
attorneys races, and gave the re.
suit in the contests for the legis-
lature, county offices and county
commissioners. In other words
the Eagles report was the best it
has ever given the morning after
an election, and has been much
complimented.

called to the fact that only a few
years ago many people had the
idea that Bryan was an unhealth-
ful place. This fallacy has been
effectively exploded. The ideal
college town Is where every in
habitant is keenly alive to the i'm.
portance of higher education.
Mayor J. +. Butler made an adj.
dress on the value of her schools TO
Bryan. Mr.. Butler said Bryan is
remarkable town in some respects.
That it had always been prosper
GUS and was never more so than
today. For many years the town
has had large trade territory, but
that in recent years this has been
largely lost by invading railroads
on the east and the west. Then
Bryan has lost many of her
wealthiest citizens by removal TO
other cities. Notwithstanding
these losses, and although thcus-
ands of bales of cotton have been
diverted, the town has not seemed
TO feel any loss, but has steadily
grown and prospered. In seeking
a cause for this rather remarkable
fact, Mr.. Butler said he was forced
TO the conclusion that our pro.
grrss remained inabated simply un
account of what our schools are
doing for Us and because OF the
splendid determination Of the PEG.
pie OF Bryan to keep the town 70
the front. The speaker also refer
red TO the value Of Bryan schools
in contributing TO high moral
character and good citizenship.
Mr.. +. VI. Law spoke on the
Faculty OF the Texas Woman'-
College as being composed of men
aud women who believe steadfastly |
in God, in the teachings Of the |
Bible and in christian education,
and said only such would ever be 4
called to aid in shaping the destiny /
IF the inst1iion. He called at.
.ention to the regretable tendency |
Di many who are connected with /
high institutions Of learning in
this country to drift of into the
theory OF higher criticism, and
declared the crying need Of the
nation was for schools steadiastly
grounded in religious principles.
Mr.. A. W. Buchanan spoke of
Bryau's schools from a patrons
standpoint. He said the purpose
nearest the heart Of most parents
Is the welfare Of their children.
Parents always desire TO live to
zee the youngest child educated
md equipped for life. 1t is highly
important that the young should
be educated where the environ.
nents are favorable TO christianity.

Secretary Bonaparte in an ad-

Naval Academy at Annapolis We'd
nesday defined "Gentlemen as fol-
lows:
In England a gentleman teChni-
cally is a man who is born of a
noble family but possesses no title
Of nobility or social rank. In our
country gentleman is of a noble
nature, gentle to all whom gentle
ness is due, kind and considerate
to others, just where he should be,
just and naughty only to the
naughty. He will necessarily have
fine sense of honor and be al
walys ready to protect it and to fly

less. Such man will be brave
wherever any assertion of courage
is required, but lie will be as far as

LETTER TO MAX LEVY.

Dear Sir: If you could get the
exclusive sale of a coal that would
give double heat, cost no more,
you'd jump at it, wouldn't your
You'd control the trade for a
hundred miles?
Devoe is like that among paints,
a short ton is as good as a long
one of any paint you can name ;
a gallon is worth more than two
of many a popular paint.
Suppose you have painted your
house about once in three years
ever since it was new; you buy
the same number of gallons Devoe,
have third of it left, and it wears
six years. Count your costs.
$1.75 a gallon for paint; So SO a
gallon for putting it on; you saved
5 gallons: $26.25 on this job.
But you save the whole job of
three years hence; about $75. Put
'em together: 800.
Can't reckon so accurately as
that; but you see how it goes.

coal. How much more is coal
worth than IA slate

A WISE AMENDMENT.

That proposed amendment to the
constitution # the State Of LOuisi-
ana whereby mortgages, or rather
vendors liens, will be exempt from
taxation is a wise provision and
one, while seemingly insignificant,
means much to this commonwealth.
If the amendment carries at the
next general election in November
it will mean that capital will seek
investment in the state and that
money will become more plentiful.
The proposed amendment pro-
vides that mortgages shall be ex-
empt from taxation provided that
the property covered by such in
strument has bOrue its just share of
taxes. Ordinarily money, credits
and securities are taxable property.
Real estate always is subject to
taxation. Then if a mortgage be
taxed aud the land which it covers
is also subject to city, parish and
state levies, it practically consti-
tuteS double taxation. Then, too,
moneys and credits usually bear
heavier burden than real estate
or personal property of other
kinds and large lenders of money
prefer to invest in securities which
are exempt, such as certain bonds
municipal securities, even though
they bring smaller rate Of inter
est. But because they are exempt
there is more profit in them than
in mortgages at higher rate.
Louisiana needs more of the cir
culating medium. Her rapid
strides forward are so long that the
supply of money does not keep pace
with tie demand. The exemption
of land mortgages is step in the
right direction and will assist i'm
mensely indirectly in the develop
ment of the common wealth.

A FEW DON'TS.

Don't blame some one else be-
cause the grass has hid your side
walk, cut it down.
Don't knock your home town, il
it is backward you are partly to
blame.
Don't say that we ought to have
this or that, but get together and
have it.
Don't say we ought to have bet
ter schools, but levy tax and
build them.
Don't keep your children out of
school now because they can go
later. A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush.
Don't compel your boy to learn
a trade in his tender years, send
him to school
Don't fail to vote every school

Young man, be gentleman. 1t
is just as easy as being rowdy,
and pays a whole lot better. There
is nothing smart in being "tough."
If you play ball be gentleman.
The crowd will applaud you a
whole lot more, when you make a
good play and guy You less when
you make an error. The gentle
man has friends everywhere the
rowdy none. The rowdy and tough
come to premature old age, lives
long and walks in green pastures
of.want and privation; the gentle
man has friends to help him over
the rough spots. Be q gentleman
because there is money in it. Be
a gentleman because it will pay you
dividends when about everything
else is below par. Be a gentle
man, and in the final windup, it
will bring flowers to your bier and
eulogies to your memory.

An exchange says: The girl at
the telephone, at the typewriter
and behind the counter, earning an
honest living, is worth a whole
cowpen full of the girl who is tog-
ged up in the parlor pounding on
the piano, while her mother is out
in the backyard thumping a tune
on the washboard, or the girl who
gads the streets in silks and satins
and fiirts with the high collared
dude, or the girl who paints and
powders her face and is too lazy to
cook a doughnut. The girl who
works for living and pays her
way through this world is respect
ed and esteemed by all good peo-
pie. The working girl is lovely
rose compared with the girl who
gallops the streets and chases after
the attention of some worthless
loafer. All honor to the girl at
the telephone, the typewriter, be-
hind the counter, or at any other
honest avocation."
