RAILROAD MASS MEETING
EARNEST BUSINESS MEN REAL
iZE THAT CRISIS coNFRoNTs
THE PEOPLE OF BRYAN.
IT IS NOW OR NEVER
Decisive Action Must Be Taken u
Next Ten Days or Opportunity
Is Gone Forever.

This morning at 10:30 o'clock about
fifty leading business men of Bryan
met the president and board OF direc-
tors of the proposed Bryan & Brazos
River railroad in Carnegie hall. The
meeting was called together by the
president of the board, Mr.. w. Z.
Saunders, who acted as chairman. Mr..
Saunders stated that he had called
the meeting TO inform the business
men and property owners OF Bryan OF
the exact situation Of the proposed en-
terprise. The board OF directors has
secured a traffic agreement with the
management OF one OF the leading
railroad systems OF Texas on most
favorable terms, and 1t is confidently
believed the part OF the revenues
which the new road will get under
this contract will be sufficient to
take care OF the bond interest and
sinking fund and leave enough to pay
a reasonable dividend on stock. The
stock subscriptions. in round numbers,
amount to 100000, and bonds to about
the same amount have been sold, max
ing $4,000 OF funds available for
building the road. About 100000 more
| is needed and it is up to Bryan to
furnish 1t.
Mr.. ]. E. Butler said that there were
two interests Represented in promot-
ing the building OF the road-those
who own property and have business
interests in Bryan only and those who
have interests in both Bryan and the
Brazos bottom. While the latter class
desire the prosperity ofBfyan and are
doing all they can to Secure the road
for this city. they are not dependent
on Bryan. They must have and are
determined to have railroad into the
bottom and II Bryan turns down theil
proposition there are others waiting
Ito build them a road. A connection
can be made with the Santa Fe a
half the cost that will be required Il
connect with either OF the roads a.
Bryan. The people of Bryan have beer
talking of railroads for years ant
years. but never before have they beer
confronted with such proposition as
this. 1t is a concrete proposition and
must be met and disposed Of as
plain matter of business. II Bryan
lfails. Brenham is ready to take up thu
proposition. What the directors asl
for IS not bonus. The stock will pal
dividends and the bonds will pay in
terest. Those who put their none,
Into the road will soon get 1t back.
Mr.. Butler outlined briefly, but verl
forcibly, the consequences to Bryan !
this enterprise fails, discussed the ad
'vantageous traffic agreement mer
toned by President Saunders and cor
cluded with the emphatic assuranc
that this is the last appeal that tn
board of directors will make to tn
people of Bryan.
Secretary Hewitt, of the Commercia
Club. assured the directors that th
club would do everything in its powe
TO help the cause.
Postmaster ]. Allen Myers said
he had s15O,OOO to spare he woul
build the road, but he had alread
taken as many of the bonds as h

qusntly never see him except when in that condition, they draw the
natural but erroneous conclusion that he is excited in that way nearly
al the time.
AL the unfortunate scandal concerning the poet is thus amply
explained. 1t was his misfortune that in his better moods he never
felt socable, never willingly showed himself to the crowd. His best
friends saw him at his worst.
How many unfortunate poets and artists are subject to milar
distempers? One feels no desire for society except when he wishes
to read a poem or to sell it, another when he wishes to borrow monev
or to get a dinner. These mel n misjudged. The world look.

President Taft said there have been four instances
N in this administration in which the action Of the
4 State Department actually prevented war.
- This declaration is the most positive proof yet
given of the power of the peace movement in the
world, 1t is now quite well assured that small
nations will not be permitted to disturb international peace. How
long will it be before great nations are held in similar check?
Tennyson's dream of peace was that "The common sense Of most
shall hold a fretful realm in ave-" We are approaching that sou-
ton. Common sense is oil the side of peace. Most people are, per-
hsp, already on the side Of common sense. AS yet they have not
the power to hold in awe any first class nation. But the power is
coming. Since the little states are not permitted TO fight they may
be the more willing to cooperate to put a like check on the greater
states, and thus help on the coming of the universal law.
