THE SCHOLAR IN POLITICS.

AS has already been observed in
these columns, President Woodrow
Wilson, of Princeton university, DEM
ocratic nominee for governor of New
Jersey, is a gentleman and scholar.
Possibly he may be elected. but We
doubt it. The American people re-
spect the erudite man. but they want
another sort to fill the offices. They
elected one president who gravely
congratulated congress in his first
message upon the fact that the United
States was 'at peace with all the
world and the rest of mankind" An
other president is on record as saying
that man was a fool who couldn't
spell word more than one way. And
now comes Prof. William Pattee, head
of the Michigan university, asserting
that it is questionable whether 'Abra-
ham Lincoln could be admitted to any
bar in the country today with only the
knowledge he had at the time of his
admittance."
Few of the presidents, and certainly
none of the great presidents, were ac-
complished scholars. In this respect
John Tyler. perhaps, ranked highest,
and his administration was one of the
weakest. Book education, like all
other good things, can be overdone.

RECIPROcATION.

This complimentary chirp from the
esteemed Bryan Eagle: Fort Worth
was the first city in Texas to adopt
definite plan of city Improvements.
As result Fort Worth shows the
largest percentage of gain in popula-
ton. In haphazard work much energy
is wasted, but when method rules
every lick coutns." Fort Worth is hit
ting the line hard for parks and play
grounds and restful breathing spots.
The city beautiful as well as the city
bountiful is desirable in this competi-
tive age. The movement TO beautify
Bryan should be pushed with energy
Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The women of Bryan are getting be-
hind the movement to beautify the
city. You know what that means.

two objects are altruistic, the third
is financial. There is no lack of har-
mony betwene altruism and business.
In all the affairs of men in their social
relations of every kind they should
be inseparable and each should sup
plement the other.
Bryan needs a building and loan as
ISOLATION. There is plenty of idle
money to furnish the necessary cap
ital and no lack of men of honesty,
capacity and experience to manage
the business. The problem is 10 get
them together. 1t can be done and it
ought to be done.

A Fire on Wheels.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 4.-Law.
renee Coppeg, farmer living in
Cuero, near this city. had a fire yes
terday outside the city Limits which
he carried to the pumping station. A
wagon load of his cotton caught fire
and the farmer hitched up his horses
and galloped to town, arriving in time
to save most of the cotton. Fortunate
ly, there was no wind, SO his movable
fire did no damage to his neighbors.

CORN CLUB EXHIBIT NEXT
FRIDAY.

The Eagle is requested to call at
tention again to the exhibit OF the
Brazos County Boys Corn Club and
the awarding of prizes, at the skating
rink in this city next Friday.
While County Superintendent T. w.
Parker has no authority TO declare a
holiday for the country schools, he
suggests TO the trustees that II would
be a convenient time for the parents
and children to come to town to pur-
chase books and school supplies. SUI
perintendent Parker also believes that
dismissing the schools for the sake of
giving the children an opportunity to
see the corn show is in strict Accord
ance with the law. which requires
agriculture to be taught in the
schools. In this opinion Prof. Parker
is unquestionably correct.

Conway Visited By a
Vivid Electrical Storm

After the almost unbearable heat
of yesterday one of the most vivid
electrical storms ever witnessed here
visited Conway last night. The storm
commenced about s o'clock and con-
tinued the greater part of the night.
The black and threatening clouds
seemed to gather from every direc-
ton, coming up so suddenly that the
crowds on the streets hardly realized
that it was going to rain until the
big drops began to patter down upon
their heads. And then it seemed but
a moment until the rain was pouring
down, while flash after flash of light
ming kept the heavens almost contlnu-
ouslv afame. The electrical display
was unusual. Jagged, forked streaks
of fire drew fantastic figures on the
background of black clouds, bolts of
lightning splitting into scores OF wrlg-
cling tongues. The crash and roar OF
the thunder was all but continuous.

New Firm Soon to
Organize in Conway

A new firm is soon to organize in
this city to do all kinds of Electrical
work, Plumbing and Heating. The
idea of the promoters is to take up the
work the city has heretofore been do
ing in the electrical work and in addi-
ton to contracting for wiring and
lighting they will carry complete
line of fixtures, etc, usually found in
city stores.
Looking forward to the time when
the city will have waterworks, they
will carry line of plumbers goods
and will show one or two model bath
rooms fitted up complete. In addition
to lighting and plumbing, they will
be in a position to quote prices and
install heating plants, either furnace,
steam or hot water heat
The personnel of the organization
has not yet been announced, but the
firm will be composed of our young
business men of the city, including a
good electrician and plumber. Tenn
porarily the firm will occupy the
Jones building, adjoining Yaeger's
barber shop.

TO KNOW MORE
OF WOODEN PIPE

For the purpose of making study
of the use of wooden pipe for water
mains, two Little Rock men left Fri
day night for a tour of the south, on
which they will visit number of cit
les now using that kind of piping.
Guy A. Watkins of Dickinson &
Watkins, consulting engineers, and
Joseph McCoppin, local contractor,
are the men who have gone to make
an extensive investigation into the use
of wood instead of iron for the con-
veyance of water for city consump-
ton. They will visit number of
cities in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Georgia and will be gone several days.
AS stated before in the Gazette,
Conway already has adopted the
wooden piping for its waterworks sys-
tenn and Dickinson & Watkins will
have charge of the installing of that
system.
In answer to a query in regard to
whether or not the wood pipe makes
the water taste of the wood Mr.. Dick
inson stated yesterday afternoon that
it has the effect of making the water
taste much purer and sweeter than it
does when conveyed through iron
pipes. He says that the wood pipe
will last as long as iron, if not longer
and he expects to see some of it being
laid in this and other Arkansas cities
before many months, as the raw ma
terial for its manufacture is so plen-
tiful in this state.-Gazette.

FINANCIAL AID TO
NORMAL SCHOOLS

The Arkansas State Normal schoo
NAV secure material financial aid as
the result of efforts of DR.. Wychffe
Rose of Washington, ID. c., prom
nentlv associated with the educatlona
movement in the south, and that the
Branch Normal school for negroes al
Pine Bluff may also secure similar
aid through his efforts, says the ia
zette. was the belief expressed last
night by State Superintendent OF
Public instruction George b. Cook
following a conference with DR.. Rose
who was in the city yesterday after
noon, en- route from Alabama to Tex
as.
During his stay in the city, DR..
Rose was in conference with DR.. Nor
gan Smith of this city, who is state
secretary of the Rockefeller Sanitary
Commission in Arkansas. DR.. Smith
said last night that DR.. Rose had
nothing to say relative to any changes
in the movement to eradicate the
hookworm in Arkansas, and appeared
to be satisfied with the progress OF
the movement in the state. DR.. Smith
stated that he would soon have three
field men out in the state, working
in the interest of the movement. He
has already appointed one field agent
and he said last night that he would
soon appoint the other two. He also
announced that, commencing next
week. county associations would be
organized for the purpose of carry
ing on the movement of graduating
the hookworm. The county movements
will be in charge of local people.
DR.. Rose had nothing definite to
give out in the way of information
as to what financial help may be CIV
en- to the normal schools of the state,
but explained that he would attempt
to secure financial aid of some sort.

for Trip Over County

County Farm Demonstration j. +.
Rogers left this morning for a trip
over the northeastern part of the
county in the interest of demonstra-

corn crop in Faulkner county this
year will by far exceed that of many
years past, and the cotton crop is
also very good, with the exception of
that in the lowlands. The yield
would have been much greater if the
county had not had so much rainfall
this season.
