Every home owner in Bryan car
help to make the city moro beauti
full by making his own premises at

thoughtfulness more than of money
We are all proud of Dewey's victory
achieved ten years ago in Manila bay
but when its consequences are consid

blessing
Dallas has saved $4,000 by doing
its own paving work and Beaumont

sewer construction. Herein is point
er for Bryan.
About tn per cent of the saloons
in Massachusetts were closed by the
elections last Thursday. A conquest
according to the laws of evolution is
better than a cataclysm..

on which nature has lavished so many
of her bounties as she has bestowed
on Texas. And Bryan is in the heart
of the most highly favorable part of
Texas.
A Tennessee congressman received

Madam Anna Gould is in Rome and

Senator Jeffries Davis of Arkansas
is back in his place and has made
another characteristic speech. He is
q blatherskite and his egotism Is col

thinks himself a great man.
The preservation of the health of
the community is the paramount duty.
Let the campaign of sanitation be
pushed vigorously. While there is
a mosquito or a fly at alrge in Bryan
there should be no relaxation of eff
fort.
How dear to my heart is a smooth, sol
id highway,
When bowling along on our way to
town.
'Tis better by far than romance of
the byway,
Full Of ruts and mudhoes into which
we sink down.
A Galveston News special from Chi
cago says j. Ogden Armour has cor

The Eagle has not challenged the |
liberty of opinion of any man or man.
Tested intolerance in the late cam |
paign. We shall hold no luminosity |

spirit of tolerance and moderation has
marked the course of the contest in
this county.
Not long ago the Eagle quoted a
French sociologist who argues that |
men are by nature more beautiful |
than women. Now comes a Chicago |
university professor with the propo- |
sition that women are by nature
stronger physically, intellectually and |
morally than men. AS a proof of ply
steal superiority he argues that wom-
en- can endure more than men, and
that this is the true test.
