The Resolutions.
Our trade relations with South
America and the cultivation of a better
understanding and acquaintance with
Justly claimed the attention Of this
congress. To the secretary of state of
our own country, and to the repre-
sentatives of the other nations who
honOred US by their presence. we ex-
tend assurances of our profound re-
spect and earnest hope that their
words of wisdom and counsel may
bring about closer relations between all
of the countries of the western hemis-
phere and that the mutual regard and
confidence now existing may increase
as the years pass by. We realize the
value of our friendly intercourse. The
Transrnississippi region is especially
interested in encouraging all efforts TO
bring about the increase Of comm erclal
transa ctiOns as the surest and best way
of establishing the intimate friendly
relations that should exist between US.
To promote such relations we endorse
the propositions submitted by Secre-
tary Root for encouraging our mer-
chant marine, and for increasing our
intercourse with South America by
adequate mail facilities
We renew and emphasize our ap-
prOval of and devotion to the Monroe
doctrine as enunciated by its author.
James Monroe in 1923, when president
of the United States. and as reiterated
by Grover Cleveland in his Venezuelan
message of 1895, and as again stated a t
this session of the Transni ssissippi
congress by Elihu Root. secretary of
state, after his tour OF the South Amer

The Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine by the Transmississippi Com

Mines and Mining.

Mines and Mining.
The mining industry of the United
States has grown to vast proportions
and Importance, now exceeding a bill
lion and a half dollars of annual pro-
duct and is capable of still greater ex-
tension, If encouraged by the govern
ment. as agricultural industry has been
fOstered.
We heartily favor the establishment
by act of congress of a national de-
partment of mines and mining.
1t is the sense of this congress that
the surface Of the 445,000 acres of
segregated coal and asphalt lands in
the Indian Territory should be sold IN
tracts of one hundred and sixty acres,
on long time, with annual payments
therefor, and the moneys arising there
from should be paid to the Indians
entitled thereto The coal and asphalt
in said lands should be leased in tracts
not to exceed nine hundred and sixty
| acres, and the royalties paid should be-
come permanent school fund for use

We recommend a suitable aDoroprla-
ton to be made by congress to further

will be held in the city of Seattle begin
In order to promote the friendly rivalry
of states in progress and development We
favor state celebrations marking the hf-
tieth and one hundredth anniversaries of
the admission Of each state into the
union, and when such celebrations are
held, we recommend that on each &C
casion the national government take part
giving an exhibition of national progress
and development.
republicanism is that of self government
and nobody of American citizenship should
else IS possible The people of New Mex
leo should no longer be deprived of self
government. That they should be ad-
mitted as a state whenever she adopts a
suitable constitution and applies TOR such

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR GAS.
Nearly ? Fatality From an INVENTED
Stove in Winfield Home.

Winfield. Nov. 2s.-Unvented gas
stoves nearly caused the fatal
asphyxiation of Mrs. John Raw
Inns and her two children. Jack
and Christine, at their home, 706 East
Ninth, Wednesday night. The cause
was the use of gas heaters that had no
pipes into chimneys, the products OF
com bustion being allowed TO escape
into the rooms. All three were made
very sick and had a narrow escape
from being suffOcated.
Mr.. Rawlins was away from home.
and Mrs Rawlins and the children
were alone. The gas fires. natural gas.
were left burning when they retired.
Some time in the night Christine
awakened and found something was
wrong. Her mother was unable to
move, and the girl tried to go to the
phone to call Doctor. The fumes
overcame her and she fell to the
floor. There the air was better and
she soon revived, and again tried t.
reach the phone. She fell and got up
again several times before she wae
41ble to get help.

States.
We are of the opinion that a measure
calculated to introduce into the finan-
cial system of the currency the element
of fiexibility of currency should receive
early and earnest consideration by the
United States congress having in view
always the security, safety and value
Of such currency at par with gold.
We favor the beet sugar industry
and recommend to the United States
congress that no legislation antag-
onistic to its future development be
enacted
This congress at its sixteenth an
nual session recommended the loca-
ton of a naval station on the south
ern coast of California near the Mex
lean border, but as yet the national
congress has not taken any action re-
garding this important matter. Since
the passage of the resolution and rec
omr9endation Admiral Goodrich and
other prominent naval officers have
publicly advocated the location of
such a naval station in the harbor of
San Diego. Cal. We, therefore, again
resnectfiIlly request that a naval sta
ton and also q coaling station be To-
Gated at San Diego, Cal. and that the
necessary funds be appropriated for
this purpose.
Agriculture.
We commend most heartily the dis
pOSftiOn of the congress or the united
States in fostering the work of the fed
eral department of agriculture.
we express the sincere belief that no
other feature of the work OF our gov
eminent meets with more general APP
proval of the whole people than this
department under the guidance of It's
able head the secretary of agriculture.
He is ransacking the earth for facts
and bringing to the varied conditions
of our vast country the resources OF all
times and Chimes introducing new. rare
and valuable plants and greatly. aug

ATTORNEYS FILE SUIT.
For the City Against Bryan Water. Ice,
Light & Power Company.

Some weeks ago the Bryan city
council authorized Mayor J. T..
Butler to employ counsel to bring
suit 10 forfeit the franchise and
franchise contracts granted 10 the
Bryan Water, Ice, Light * Power
Co. Acting under this order the
Mayor employed Judge J. w.
Doremus and Judge A. G. Board
to bring the suit, which was duly
filed yesterday and citation served.
The Eagle learns that the allega-
tions contained in the somewhat
lengthy petition charge in effect
that the company has failed to sup
ply a sufficient quantity of water
for public and private use, aud has
failed to supply the city and pat
rons with good and efficient light
service.
We understand the suit will be
vigorously pushed.
