The Tobacco Industry

The editor of The Eagle believes
that Brazos county farmers, especially
those having red land, would find
tobacco a very profitable crop, and
because of this belief The Eagle often
calls attention to the subject. A staff
correspondent of the Galveston News.
who is now writing up the resources
of East Texas, has this to say about
the tobacco:
That the tobacco industry will
work revolution in the counties in
which land is found that is adapted
to the cultivation of the weed there
can be little question. Thus far the
development has been slow, but the
experimental stage is rapidly passing
and it is predicted that farmers will
take to tobacco growing readily after
they see that it is much more prof
liable crop than cotton or anything
else that they have been used to
Experienced tobacco growers
are being invited to Texas and many
have promised TO come With their
assistance the native farmer will be
able to learn the methods and will
readily adapt himself to the new con-
ditions. The growing of tobacco will
not necessarily reduce the acreage of
other products. and therefore should
prove to be the money crop as soon as
local markets shall have been est.

Texas Tobacco Growers

San Antonio, Tex, Oct Sat the
call OF II. NJ. Booze, a convention of all
the tobacco growers of Texas will
convene on October 10th at Nacog-

growing in this state has given an
impetus to that industry, and it is
understood that pledges will be made
to plant 10000 additional acres in
tobacco in order to secure the est.
abl!shing of factories. Recently, large

but all agreed not to leave the parish
without informing the pastor of the
church and the insurance company Of
any change of residence.
Father Fitzgerald became pastor of
ST Stephens four years ago Before
that he was curate of the parish
Seven years ago the first attempt was
made to find the policyholders It
was not, however, until 1904. when
Father Fitzgerald became the head OF
the parish, that the search became
systematic
Not knowing whether the four were
living or dead. the church had TO paw
the premiums on the policies. The
amount needed to make payment on
the life insurance of the missing men
is about $4,000 a year, which makes
a total of $4,000 that has been paid
on them since they were taken out
seventeen years ago.
When Messrs. Troy, White. Gibbons
and Brown first moved out of the !
parish they gave to Father Kilahy. /

the church showed where they could
be found, but for the last seven years
all trace of them has been lost.

The Farmer and Politics.

L ne FARMER ana IODEICSe
Some farmers are SO mortally afraid OF
having it said "The Farmers Union has
gone into politics." that they themselves
are afraid to wade in.
What is meant by 'going into poll
tics? If you mean that you are going
to exercise your right and do your duty
as citizen by taking an active part in
the conduct of your public affairs, why
should any one reproach you?
In this country we have no Pope who
keeps Our conscience and no King who
dictates our laws. We, the people, gov
ern ourselves. We, the people, make Our
laws. We do not do this directly in mass
meeting, as was done in pure democracies
of ancient times and as they do now, to
some extent, in the Swiss cantOns, but
we do it indirectly through representa-
tives whom we send to the state legisla-
ture and to the national Congress.
Now, if we were called together to
agree upon public matters, as is in Swift
zerland, would we not feel keen interest
in having things decided according to Our
own convictions? Would it not be duty,
as we'll as right, to do all that we could
to have the laws so framed as to do the
greatest good to the greatest number,
without injustice to any?
Certainly it would. But that would be
going into politics. you know.
Now, we are too numerous and Our
states are too large to admit of our COM.
ing together in mass-meeting to talk over
matters of legislation. Our forefathers
used to do so in Germany, but that was
the day of the tribe. When we grew into
nations, we could not assemble once a
year, as formerly, to parcel out the land
and to tinker on the laws. We had to
select agents to act as our substitutes.
Your state legislators are your agents;
your Congressman are your agents. So is
your President, be jabbers! He doesn't
act much like one, but that's what he is.
Now as these men are chosen by you
to act as your agents, ought you not to
pay attention to what they do? Would
it not be we'll for you to instruct them
how to vote? They are not voting for
themselves, but for you. How can these
patriots know how you want them to
vote, unless you will take interest enough
to tell them?
