Generally speaking the loose leaf

of Burnley were made at the HutGheson

tobacco was offered every one of the
sales days. However. the larger sales
of Burnley were made on Monday and
Tuesday. Hutcheson sold about las. 900
pounds of Burnley and scored some re-

The Eagle in calling attention to the
matter is to urge the people to give
the question the serious consideration
it deserves. Many are inclined to-
treat the matter lightly, when in fact
but few, if any, propositions were ever
put up to the people of this city of
equal Importance to this one.
The bond issue is dual in purpose
to pave Main street and improve the
water system. 1t is not necessary for
The. Eagle to stress the extreme i'm
portance of both. 1t occurs to us that
mere mention of the purposes of
the bond issue would be sufficient to
cause every voter who has the well
fare of the city at heart to cast his
ballot for the measure.
Main street is in deplorable condi-
ton. The crushed rock put on the
street number of years ago is gone,
and the dirt and dust have accumu-
lated on it until it is now several
inches deep in mud every time it
rains, and during long wet seasons it
is simply terrible. Not only that, but
during the dry, windy seasons the
dust is almost unbearable, and no
amount of sprinkling will keep it
down. Paving would do away with
both of these abominable nuisances,
to say nothing of the comforts, con-
veniences and appearance of neatly
paved street.
Just word in regard to improving
the water system. Last summer the
city completely exhausted its water
supply and deep encroachments were
made on the reserve kept in the reser-
voir for fire purposes. This was TAX
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1912-12-17

ing a great risk, and one that should
never be even thought Of There are
none who will deny that this was not
against all sound business policy.
Now by next summer the water
consumption will have increased to
such an amount that the present sup
ply will not begin to meet the de-
mand. Then what is to be done?
Additional wells, together with
water tower, can only be supplied
through bond issue. 1t is a condi-
ton and not a theory that confronts
us. VIII you think, and think seri-
ously of these matters, and when the
day of the election comes discharge
your duty, having in view nothing but
what your judgment dictates to be for
the best interests of the city?

Owing to the short time before the
change in our national administration,
President Taft has wisely decided to
leave the appointment of an ambassa-
dor to the court of st. James to sue

dent Wilson. 1t is not an easy matter
to find a suitable man to fill our inn
portant ministerial positions, and they
have to be selected with great care.

has now indorsed the plan, and named

leaders among them TO secure recognition
from some OF the Catholic communions'
especially the Greek and Russian. The
coptic, Armenian. and other Eastern
bodies have been communicated with.
Inquiry among the leaders brings In
formation that New York City IL likely
to be selected as meeting place for the
world conference. When II may be held

body. The feeling seems to be that time
should be given for the advances OF IN

This bringing together Of the two great

similar campaigns have had a share In It.

The significance Of the dinner, it's his

past few years much has been said about
union Of separated religious bodies. But
the separation between Protestant bodies
of different names has hardly been
greater than that between home and for
eign organizations IN the same religious
bodies. Strange TO say. there have been
times and bodies wherein the two in
terests had hardly more In common than
and not cooperation obtained IN all d.
