Bryan Is recognized as city Of
schools. The foundation has been laid
in that direction and decade hence
will doubtless see great improvements
over even her present enviable posi-
ton in that regard. Navasota has
made a start along the line of small
factories and industries and II we will
but continue to stir ourselves a dozen
or more others of similar bent can
be established. The result will be
continuous prosperity in a few years

MRS. EDDY's WEALTH.
She Left an Estate Estimated To Be
Worth a Million Dollars.

Especial to The Bryan Eagle.1
Boston, Mass, Dec. Various es-
Inmates have been made Of Mrs. Ed
dy's wealth, but those most familiar
with her affairs believe that she has
left about 100000. Her estate is
in the hands of Trustees Archibald
Mcclellan, Josiah Fernald, of Concord,
N. H., and Adam H. Dickey, Mrs.
Eddy's private secretary.
In 1907 Mrs. Eddy, after providing
handsomely for her son, George w.

ed son, DR.. Ebenezer Johnson Foster
Eddy, turned over to her trustees
$77S,770. This sum was invested in

The bulk Of Mrs. Eddy's property is
understood to be so willed as to revert
to the Christian Science church cor

FALLING HAIR.

II your hair is falling out; If you

need daily hair dressing, read. what
Mrs. Hettie Hodgman, Of Jacksonville,
Erie County, Ohio, writes June 3. 1910,
about Partisan Sage:
Il used Partisan Sage for falling hair
and find 1t the finest thing | ever heard
of. My hair was falling out by combs
full, and | could run my fingers
through it and they would hang full of
loose hair. | washed my hair and got
bottle Of Partisan Sage and used
two applications, and ! could see a
great difference. My hair was lustrous
and nice and had almost stopped fall
ing out and by the use of one more
bottle 1t stopped altogether"
For women, for men or for children
Partisan Sage is without any doubt
the finest preparation for the hair. 1t
is guaranteed by e. ]. jenkins to stop
hair from falling; to eradicate dan
druff and stop itching scalp in two
weeks, or money back. 1t is most
daintily perfumed and refreshing hair
dressing, free from grease or 'sticki-
ness, and ought to be in every home
where every member of the family
could use it daily. Large bottle SOC

before being admitted they must agree
to abstain from the use of tobacco,
which he characterized as a needless
indulgence. This was followed by ac-
ton of the conference along the same
lines.

SOUTH AFRICAN UNION

O OUTH AFRICAN union is abso-
lutely essential to the success OF
~ the greater federation. That 1t
should have become effective concur
rently with Theodore Roosevelt's visit
to the United Kingdom after his Af-
rican hunting trip may or may not be
merely accidental. Perhaps 1t is. Then
1t is most extraordinary coincidence
and a happy one On the very day
when Roosevelt in London is discuss
ing northern African government the
union of South Africa is proclaimed
and becomes effective.
Historians will comment on the coin
nection with the fact Mr.. Carnegie, the
apostle of permanent international
peace as we'll as of Englsh-speaking
federation, is at present situated so
near to Mr.. Roosevelt that he will be
able to take up his parable" and sup
plement Roosevelt's vigorous admoni-
tions in the south with plain language
from the north.
In view of the increasing complexity
of the international plan which has
been further elaborated by the South
African union, the question of the
house Of peers becomes of relatively
minor Importance; and yet of far more
than insular value when its relation
to the broader politics involved is con-
sdered.
It is obviously necessary, for the
sake of imperial interests (Which with
every new popular government estab-
lished, like that of South Africa, are
fast becoming federation interests)
that the central machinery of the
United Kingdom may be simplifed and
brought down to date. Otherwise, one
of these fine days the United Kingdom
may be left like an isolated dodo, sit
ting harmlessly under the protection
of a worldwide federation, but by de-
votion to Ammo Domini 1866 or there
abouts deprived of active participation
in the affairs of the protecting, pro-
gressive federation.

THERE is NO EVIL; 1T

OCEAN PARK, June 2.-[Editor
Herald: 1 wish to submit few
thoughts suggested by Mr.. Rhodes let
ter in your issue of 31st ult.
There are no Inconsistencies in the
Bible readings when rightly interpre-
ted, but 'when misinterpreted, and the
possibilities of so doing are infinite
when individual human misunderstand-
ing is depended on, then they are a
maze of contradictions, and each in

basis that God is infinite good and
that He created man in His likeness

that Whatsoever is born of God can

counterfeit man called Adam, who was
not created by God, but formed of the
dust of the ground. a mortal or flesh

REFERENDUM!

TT is certain if the gas and electric
light corporations want a referen-
y dun election they will get one;
and, as the saying goes, they will like
wise get what's coming to them," but
1t is not at all likely it will be the
nice, easy, back patting, good govern
ment-squelching public Endorsement
for which their private referendum
bosses and agents were laying plans,
As Councilman Andrews said, if the
utility corporations want a referendum
election. they will be accommodated;
and the public will make it clear
whether it wants a cent or cent
rate for electric light.
Mayor Alexander in published
statement said: Undoubtedly the
companies, by refusing to make ex-
tensions to new tracts, which they
have the right to do under their fran
chises obtained years ago, HOPE TO
FORCE THE PEOPLE OF THIS
CITY TO ACCEPT ANY RATES
THEY MAY FEEL DISPOSED TO
CHARGE. regardless of the conces-
sions they grant other big corpora
tions."
The fact is, the lighting companies
are engaged in a desperate effort to
prevent the lighting ordinance from
going into effect July 1; and the peo-
pie by prompt patriotic action should
foil this game.
It is suggested a genuine. peoples
referendum petition on the lighting
question should be circulated. acted on
promptly by the council, and an
election called to let the people vote on
the question June 80, There cannot be
any doubt they will vote the Los An
geles way; and result will show the
people of Greater Los Angeles may be
depended upon to assert their rights.
They will show the covetous corpora
tions do not own this metropolis, and
never will, as long as the people are
conscious of corporation and machine
menace, and maintain that constant
vigilance which is the price of munich
pal as we'll as of state and national
liberty.

EXPOSITION

ALIFORNIA is pressing Louisiana
1 hard for the Panama canal worlds
" fair. In a letter addressed to con-
gress the California members asked
for speedy action for several reasons,
saying: I'm justice to the people of
Louisiana they ought to know whether
congress will designate New Orleans
as the place for an international eX-
position to commemorate the opening
Of the canal so that they may be able
to vote intelligently upon this constitu-
tional amendment. If they are not to
have the exposition in all probability
they will not want to burden them
selves with the s4,O0O,000 special tax,
for the money could not be used for
any other purpose than that for the
exposition.
I'm the second place, prompt action
at this session is urged because the
time is short to make a successful ex-
position. Both Chicago and St Louis
began too late and had to postpone
their opening a year beyond the CEN
tenaries they were commemorating.
Then, too, it is confidently believed
that the canal will be completed before
1915, which makes it all the more i'm
portant that work be commenced forth
with If the completion of the canal and
the opening of the exposition are to be
contemporaneous."
The all-water route to California and
the Pacific coast will give the Panama
canal it's chief Importance. 1t is not
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of an eastern sea-
port that is the principal feature in the
completion of the canal but the relief
of California and the west from the
| tyranny of oppressive railroad rates

CALIFORNIA OUGHT TO ADOPT
THE SCIENCE OF DRY FARMING

LOS ANGELES, June S.-TEditor
Herald: The people OF california are
ready for dry or capillary farming
organization, and 1 would suggest we
take in Arizona, Nevada and New Mex
leo, so that our delegates to the next
congress held at Spokane, Wash, will
be strong enough to bring the inter-
national congress to Los Angeles at the
earliest possible date.
We have many good reasons for an
association of this sort. the most i'm
pOrtant from a business standpoint be-
ing the education of our tillers to dry
farming methods.
There is absolutely no question about
our being able to more than double our
present grain yields and reclaim thou
sands of acres now used for pasture
lands. Farmers can restore fertility
to soils that have been cropped to de-
pletion through continuous cereal plant
ing, which exhausts both humus and
nitrogen-two elements necessary for
the production of frst-class harvests-
by growing summer crops of nitrogen
gathering plants instead OF allowing the
fields to lie fallow and useless as at
present.
We will never have any serious re-
suits from drought when dry or capil-
larry farming is thoroughly understood
The knowledge not only applies to the
farmer depending on rainfall, but is
equally essential to the irrigationist,
who will know to a certainty how,
when and where to irrigate and what
returns to expect.
No one effort we can make will bring
us home seekers of intelligence In such
vast numbers as will this agitation of
the teaching of agriculture, with scien-
tific cultivation as the first lesson.
Let US go to Spokane 1000 strong. from
the southland, in a true California
spirit, indorsed by every social and
business organization.
We should do away with unwarrant-
ed drought scares by one stroke, for the
dry year idea is fallacy pure and
simple. handed down to us by the old
time Californians, who had no means
of transportation, little cultivation or
irrigation.
Many territories the world over, with
one-half our rainfall and greater evap-
Grafton, have educated themselves away
from the drought notion by conserving
the excess of moisture not required in
maturing one crop, to be utilized in
following seasons of lighter rainfall
Every hay and grain farmer I'm Cali
fornia should and will do the same
when awakened to the Importance of
surface cultivation Immediately after
removal of this seasons crop in order
to stop the rapid evaporation which
takes place during the warm, windy
months of July, August and September.
Five dollars an acre would be an
ultra conservative estimate of the value
of this moisture. under present meth
ods lost on 30 per cent of our grain
land.
Let us unite for the cause.

SCIENTIFIC CORRUPTION

CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL'S S
1 article on "The Scientific COrrup-
~ ton of Politics." published in
Hamptons Magazine, should be stud
led by every citizen who may have a
lingering doubt as to the absolute truth
of allegations made as to the machine
and corporation control and corruption
Of The politics of the state. Some
worthy people are inclined to think
undertaking" is overdone; but they
should not forget that 1T IS NOT THE
ACT OF RAKING THAT SHOULD
ANNOY THE PUBLIC, BUT THE
MUCK. If there were no muck to rake
the muckrakers would soon be out of
business.
Mr.. Russell, who is one of the most
astute political observers of the day,
and is unhampered by anv conven-
tional party ties, says a thoroughly
organized railroad machine can select
it's own United States senators, mem
bers of congress, county supervisors,
and everything between.
The railroad company in the earlier
days of machine organization took
AND STILL TAKES advantage Of the
following elements that exist in every
community: /. Men that can be fooled
by party loyalty. ?. Men who are eager
for political careers and know there is
no chance except by serving the money
power. 3. Merchants who can be con-
trolled through their banks, or terror
lied, or brought into line with rebates.
4. Men who believe the railroad COM
pany and all great corporations are
part Of "our set" and feel a class-con-
scious satisfaction in allying them
selves against the rih-raff and the ig
norant rabble "envlous Of US Of the
better orders" 3. Men who are fooled
by the purchased press. 6. Men who
can be had for a pass or two.
Beyond these remains the class that
must be secured with money. including
bosses, heelcrs, professional politicians,
repeateTs, cOlOnizers, floaters, lodging
house keepers, the keepers of dives and
disorderly houses that cannot be con-
trolled through the police, and indie
pendent saloon keepers that cannot be
controlled by the breweries.
The United States took alarm at the
prevalence of machine politics just in
time. If the forces of corruption had
been allowed to work their wicked will
in our republic for many years more,
not pessimism but unbiased logic,

would have led to consequences disas-

GAMBLING

A LII FORMS Of gambling are alike
"a bad. Craps" is a primitive form.
"A Readers of HiaWatha will remem-
Der the lively lines describing the "crap
shooting" of the Big Injuns. The po-
lice are doing their duty when they
suppress the minor species of gambling.
Fain would we see all the major spe-
cies of gambling reached with equal
diligence and efficiency. For many
reasons, big gamblers may go scot free
while small gamblers feel the weight
of the law.
In some OF the biggest cities of the
United States stock gambling is car
ried on with as much earnestness as if
the transactions were founded upon
actual values traded or sold.
Many big fortunes have been made
by this kind of gambling, but many
citizens have been reduced to ruin by
it. There should be no compromise
with gambling in any form, It is either
all bad or all good. 1t won't do to
pick out little gamblers and let big
gamblers GO And, please observe, it
is not interference with minor gamblers
to which we object The Herald has
always been a strenuous and consis-
tent advocate of suppression of ALL
KINDS OF GAMBLING.
Interference with minor gamblers is
warranted. But it is Of great import
ance the public should realize and rec
ognize the element of gambling when
it is disguised in a specious name To
rename it does not deprive it of its
harmful qualities.
Gamblers and gambling i'm every form
should be suppressed and should be
kept suppressed The United states
would be improved and legitimate bus
mess would be helped by the thorough
and radical elimination of gambling
from every form OF business activity.
