JUDGE BOARD ON
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Long Expected and Much Desired Ex-
preston Of Views of county's
Chief Magistrate.

To the Editor Of The Bryan Eagle:
AT the request of yourself and many
other taxpaying citizens of the county
| take pleasure in giving you my views
upon the subject of bonding the coun.
ty for the purpose Of improving our
public highways. Since my election to
the office of county Judge of Brazos
county ! have, with logged determi-
nation, used every means at nv COM
mand to improve our public highways.
The success that has been attained is
matter OF common knowledge. In
making this improvement | have tried
TO be perfectly just and fair. giving to
each section OF the county Just and
fair consideration. If bond issue can
be arranged that will give toTeach sec
ton OF the county its just and fair pro
rata part OF the money, il will meet
my hearty endorsement, otherwise
will oppose it, | believe the matter
can be adjusted along these lines. 0n
treating this subject one must be per.
fectly fair and honest) While it will
be impractical to macadamize or
gravel the roads that are a great dis.
tance from the railroads, the cost of
hauling being too great, we can move
our engine and grading outfit into
these outlying districts and give them
good graded roads, such as we now
have on many of the roads. thus Civ
ing them value received for the amount
of the taxes paid. But perhaps some
one can suggest something better.
| would further suggest that COM
mittee composed of representative cit
izens from each Justices precinct be
appointed to locate and say just where
these Improvements are to be made,
before the election is ordered. so that
each voter may know the exact eondi-
tions under which he is voting.
| have made a careful calculation
of the amount of bonds the county can
issue, and | find we can issue S1S0,000.
This amount, | estimate. will build
forty-fve miles of macadamized or
gravel roads, estimating $4,000 to the
mile. This. OF course, Is only an esti-
mate; Ii may be less or more. :
For the benefit of the timid | will
confiscate your property, for the legis-
ature has wisely limited the tax to
S1.50 per $1,000, so If you render $4,000
n values your tax will be increased |
)nly SO, not enough to seriously hurt !
you.
Now. in conclusion. | beg to say to |
he people of our little county that
lave given this matter careful consid- |
sration and | conscientiously believe
low is the time to push our county to
he front and let it take rank among
he very best of the state. Give us
,ooda public highways and our county
vii be the Athens of Texas-a perfect
letwork of good schools and pros
'erity. Respectfully,
A. G. BOARD.

Champ cIark's Religious Discipline.
 Champ Clark is genuinely religious. Not that he is ostentatious about 1t, but it's a part of him. He lives it. He became a member of the Camp be lite ch rch very early in life, and he is still a member of that church. although for a time it seemed very doubtful what his future course in a religious way would be. And there by hangs a tale.
 While still a ycGng man the future speaker of the house went to the town of Louisiana, Mo. to establish himself The town was lusty, hustl- ing, typical NY sissipDi river town of the steamboat era, and there twas a good deal of life there m which Mir.

 When the next Sunday rolled around and young Champ Clark, went as usual to the Campbellite chuch, where a few weeks previous. he had nut in his letter from the church he had belonged to back East. his case was called up and after a swnI out formal trial before services, at the bar of the church. he was isnomin- iously expelled from membership. Chagrined, humiliated and crestfal- len young Clark wandered forth in a Respondent mood, but after walking around for some time he returned. re-entered the church, took his seat in rear pew, and sat attentive dur ing the sermon. As was the custom in the CamDbellite church, an invita- ton was extended by the pastor af the end of the sermon for reDentant sinners to come forward and kneel at the chancel When this invitation was extended.

 WASHINGTON.

Scarcely a man, woman or child. however, in the entire Nation thinks of that home and last resting place of the Father of his Country without feel ing a patriotic thrill; and there is hardly a visitor of prominence from foreign lands who does not make the little journey by rail or steam- boat from Washington to the eeauti- f1Ii estate where General Washington lived and died. to gaze on his mausn leum and perchanee to lay a wreath on his bier. l. is not too much to say, therefore. that there was a sigh of relief from a hundred millions of free people when congress refused to permit a reformatory, asylum or workhouse to be established within a radius of ten miles of Mount Yer non,

Forget It

If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd, A leader of men marching fearless and proud, And you know of a tale whose mere telling aloud, Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a skeleton hidden away in a closet, and guarded, and kept from the day, In the dark, and you know that its sudden display, Would cause grief and sorrow and lifelong dismay, It's pretty good plan to forget it. If you know thing that will dar- ken the joy, Of man or a woman, girl or a boy, That will wipe out smile, or the least way annoy, A fellow or cause any gladness to cloy, Its pretty good plan to forget it.
