Many insects are extremely prolific.
All Of the order Hymenoptera. the bees
and ants. lay large numbers. but they
are easily czceled by the order Plecop-
terra. the stone flies. one female of
which deposits from 5000 to 5000 eggs.
But the champion egg layers are the
insects embraced in the order Isoptera,
the white ants. DIR. Howard states
that these insects are called white ants
because they are not ants and because
they are not white, hut he further goes
on to tell us that the females of some
of the African species grow to an enor-
nous size, and their abdomen. swollen
with eggs, becomes as big as large
potato. The rate at which the eggs
are laid is extraordinary, being about
sixty IL minute. or $4,000 and upward

Editors and the Campaign.

The disadvantage of trying 10 state
plain facts in this prohibition fight is
that one gets himself cordially dis
liked by both sides. Some of our pro
friends think the Tribune is in league
with the devil because it refuses to
carry their banner, while every time
the bartender mixes our toddy he
looks like he might put in dash of
prussic acid.-Austn Tribune.
Neither of the factions mean any
thing by their tactics. They are parti-
sans, and whoever is not with them
is against them. An honest newspaper
man will not worry about not being
able to please either side. That is
NOT what he is here for. Most of the
people are reading the papers with a
view to making up their minds on this
issue and a number of other matters
in the light of reason. To them the
honest newspaper is a guide, mentor
and friend For most of the people
are not partisan-Galvesto News.

have thought honestly, they are apt 10
have thought narrowly; they have not
made themselves men of wide sympa-
thies or discernment.
1T is evident what must happen in
sue hcrcum stances. The bench must
be filed from the bar, and 1t is grow
ing increasingly difficult to supply the
bench with disinterested unspoiled
lawyers. capable Of being the free IN
| struments of society, the friends and
guides of statesmen, the interpreters
of the common life of the people, the
mediators of the great process by
which Justice is led from one enlight.
eminent and liberalization to another.
Governor Wilson said there were
two present and immediate tests OF
the serviceability of the legal profes'
sion of the nation. In the first place,
there was the critical matter Of the
reform of legal procedure. IF the bar
associations" said he. were 10 de-
vote themselves with the great knowl-
edge and ability at their command 10
the utter simpliflcation of judicial pro
cedure. to the abolition of technlcA
difficulties and pitfalls, to the removal
of every unnecessary form, to the an
solute subordination of methods to the
object sought, they would do great
patriotic service which, If they would
not address themselves to 1t, must be
undertaken by laymen and novices.'
He said that the second and more
fundamental immediate test or the
profession was it's attitude toward the
regulation OF modern business, partic-
ularly of the powers and action OF
modern corporations. 1T is absolutely
necessary that society should com
mand its instruments and not be dom
mated by them The lawyer not the
Iavman. has the best access to the
means by which the reforms OF our
economic life can be best and most
fairly ACCOMPLISHED. Never before in
our history did those who guide affairs
more seriously need the assistance OF
those who can really claim an expert
familiarity with the legal processes by
which reforms may be efectualyl ac-
complished. 1t is in this matter more
than in any other that our profession
may now be said to be on trial. 1t

THE MESSAGE Of
THE PATHF|NDERS
Mass Meeting in Carnegie Hall.
Strong Speeches and Great
Enthusiasm.

Stores, banks and other business
houses closed at o'clock yesterday
afternoon to allow everybody to attend
the good roads meeting and hear the
message of the pathfinders. The meet,
ing was called TO order by the presi.
dent of the Commercial Club, Mai. L.
l.. McInnis. Upon the platform were
Judge A. G. Board, Chairman J. X.
Parker. Prof. Potts and his associates.
Mayor Maloney and others.
In his remarks Major McInnis. in
behalf of the Commercial Club and
the citizens, welcomed the pathfinders
to Bryan. In recognition of his inter
est and efforts in the cause of good
roads in Brazos county, President Nc
lnnis asked Judge Board to preside
over the mass meeting. Judge Board
in a few well chosen remarks made
it plain to the people that he and the
commissioners court will cooperate
with the people to further improve the
highways of BraZos county, and that
he believes the time has come to issue
bonds to build good, permanent trunk
lines of a highway system His re-
marks were received with prolonged
applause, indicating that he and his
nearer were in full accord upon the
subject.
Judge Board then introduced Colonel
Hawley, president of the Texas Good
Roads Association, who made the prin-
cipal address, 1t was a logical argu.
ment in favor of good roads, entirely
from business standpoint. He said
some very caustic things about the
roads the paIhfinders had travelled
over, and demonstrated that every dol
lar judiciously invested in good roads
yields the taxpayer a return of 400 per
cent or more.
Colonel Hawley said that he was
here thirty-nine years ago and that
he had just travelled over one of the
roads he was familiar with then, and
that it was no better than it was then
(Some of the audience seemed to think
the colonel was rather sevene, one
gentleman asserting his personal
knowledge that the roads are five
times better than they weer even five
years ago.
Colonel Hawley showed that the
great highway from Red River to the
gulf is perfectly feasible, and can be
built with an increase taxation of not
over $3.50 on the $1,000 of valuation,
and that no one would suffer loss, but
all alike would reap great benefit.
Engineer Howe, of Harris county,
said that the bond issue and good
road work in Harris county had in
creased the valuation, which in turn
had decreased the tax rate.
Prof Davis, of Nacogdocehs, said
that the people of that county had
built seventy-tive miles of macadam
road. When he was first in that town
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1911-07-14

he wanted to buy a little farm and it
was offered to him at $40 per acre.
Five years later, after the macadam
road was built, he paid $3.50 per
acre for that same farm.
Prof. Potts said the outlook for
building the road is very bright. He
hoped Brazos county would be one of
the first counties to start the work.
Judge Board, in concluding the
speaking, said that he believed the
building of this road would have the
effect OF sending hundreds of students
in automobiles to Bryan schools every
from many miles around.
There was deep interest in the re-
marks of all the speakers and hearty
applause when strong points were pre-
scented. 1t is safe to say that every
man present went away determined to
do missionary work in the cause OF
good roads. The only regret is that
many of the taxpayers of Brazos coun-
ty were not present

Mr.. Bryan has been accused of try
ing to sidetrack every prominent dem
ocrat mentioned as a possible candi-
date for the presidency in the hope
of securing he nomination for him
self. In this weeks COmmoner he
mentions more than forty democrats
of national reputation, any of whom
he is willing to support. He heads the
list with former Governor Folk, Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson and Speaker
Champ Clark, but says the order of
the names does not indicate his prefer
ence. High up in the list he places the
name of Senator Culberson, of. Texas,
whom he compliments very highly. He
also mentions former Governor Camp
bell and Congressman Randell as of
presidential size.

While censuring the people of
Brazos county severely for their bad
roads and lack of interest in improv-
ing them, Colonel Hawley paid high
compliment to the farmers. He said
the crops were the best, and in the
best condition of any he had seen on
the entire route of the pathfinders.
