provide no means of enforcing the
rights of the public, but that the prin-
ciple of eminent domain holds good
in such cases is unquestionable. In
other words, the moral law demands
that private property shall be sold for
reasonable price whenever the pub
lie welfare requires it. If, therefore,
the public not only refuses to be held
up and robbed but finds way TO cir
cumvent the robbers, leaving them III
the lurch, they have no one to blame
but themselves.
Mr.. Gammils proposition is to
change the route of the interurban,
either to the north or to the south of
the present line. Before the road was
built preliminary lines We're surveyed
on both sides, and it is said that a
good route can be secured on either.
If practicable, the best thing for
Bryan would be a belt line, approx
mately eliptical, with the present line
as the transverse axis. To guard
against danger of repetition OF the
existing evil, options on the adjacent
lands should be secured in advance
If this were done, the entire circuit
or the belt line would soon be Dor
dered with beautiful suburban homes

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1911.
THE GREEDY DOG.

Among the short allegories, COM
monty called fables, that have come
down through the centuries of three
milleniums, that of the dog which lost
his piece of meat by attempting to
snatch its image from the reflected
picture of himself in the water, has
taught it's lesson of wisdom, in vain
in most cases, to nine hundred gen.
erations of men, and yet the lesson is
unheeded The greedy dog, of course,
represents class of men found in
every community, who lose what they
have in the effort to secure more than
their share.
Yesterday Mr.. o. E. Gammil, man.
ager of the Bryan-College interurban
line, discussed with about thirty OF
the business men of Bryan an evil that
has been mentioned by The Eagle
many times-the eKorbitant prices de-
manded by. property owners along the
car line. That this grasping spirit is
a serious detriment to the growth OF
Bryan is known and deplored by all
public-sprited citizens, but nobody
but Mr. Gammil was in position to
suggest a remedy This he did yes
terday in very plain and emphatic
language. And the best of it is, every
body knows he is in position to ap-
ply the remedy if it must be done.
The mistake made by the property
owners complained of is in assuming
that their proprietorship is absolute
and that it is nobody's business what
they do with their holdings. They for
get or ignore the fact that there is
such a thing as eminent domain. I'm
der the common law private owner
ship is theoretically subject and sub
sidiary to the sovereign power which
in this country is vested in the people
at large. Whenever individual proprie-
torship becomes detrimental to the
public welfare it must yield to the
superior claims of the general good.
1t is true that in this case the statutes

|tions, and that even IL we were threat.
ened with invasion we should not call
out the whole armed strength of the
nation, but humbly ask to have the
matter decided by a tribunal pro-
posal which the enemy would be sure
to reject. 1t is time to explain, as
clearly and Enthusiastically as possible,
that, so far from being mere dreamers,
philosophers or men without a country,
we have clear conception OF our duty
and our responsibility. We believe
that the policy we advocate for Eu.
rope is as clear as prudent, as posi-
tive and as full of promise as the pol
icy now followed is obscure and
fraught with confusion and danger.
Universal peace and simultaneous
disarmament will never be anything
but dreams unless science and the
strictest and most methodical means
are employed to hasten their coming
| II may already be said that disarma-
ment will merely be the last stage of
pacific evolution. Between this last
stage and the aspirations we now en-
terrain there is many mile to be
travelled, and always at the same
pace. 1t is useless to look for disarm-
ament unless we first try the effect OF
progressive reduction of ornaments;
and this reduction itself will be neces-
sarily preceded by limitation halt
in the increase of ornaments. This
| Limitation, however, implies great
changes in the relations among the
powers, and those changes must be
set down in treaties. Such treaties
imply reciprocal recessions, due to a
respect for justice and the conscious
ness of new solidarity between the
contracting states. Such treaties can
not be successfully carried out, nor
even negotiated, unless public opinion
is thoroughly prepared beforehand
"On these lines our program be-
comes very simple and clear. Our one
object is to bring international arbi-
tration into general acceptance and in
duce governments to resort to rea-
sonable and honorable way of settling,
not all conflicts but the largest posi-.
BILE number of them, by equitable
means"
