MAIL ORDER HOUSES
k'sisSas Editor Makes Appeal for the
Country Merchant,

>VuistT! NefCIlant.
Declaring that the mail order
houses are a menace to the United
States, William Allen White. Kansas
editor. has written an opel Letter set
ting forth his views on the subject
He says:
The preservation of the home
trade to the home town carries
with it preservation of many of our
American institutions. 1t seems TO
me that a lot of good things in Amer
lean life will pass if the country town
~passes,and it will pass. just so surely
as naturalization of retail mail order
business III cities continues. The
American country town preserves
better than the crowded city, and
better than the lonely ranch and iso-
lated farm life, the things that make
America great. Here in these country
towns the spirit of neighborliness is
the prevailing spirit. Men come to
know n another. and when any two
human beings come to know each
other, in he one who is intelligent
and wise, respect always arises for
the other. To know ones fellows al
ways is to sympathize with them.
NeighbOrliness spells fraternity. The
American country town with its cir
Gle of friends. with its close hOmely
simple relations between men, with
its spirit of cooperation and with it's
economic status that permits the Gre
alton of no indecently rich and no
abjectly poor, the American country
town. it seems to me. is the most
hopeful of our American institutions.
THE mail order house. therefore.
becomes a menace to this country.
The mail order house unrestricted
will Kill our smaller towns. creating
great cities with their terrible on
trasts of life. with their cruel social
relations. with their inevitable caste
feeling that comes from the pres
of strangers who are rich and
living side by side. Great cities
give much in aims but little in JUS
tice.
THE motto of the mail order
house is every man for himself and
the devil take the hindermOst-and
you bet the devil will"

We Need Better Tenant Houses.

The longer | live, the more thor
oughly am / convinced that conven
ienec in house and surrounding ar
arrangements is the keynote to success
full, sanitary housekeeping.
As conditions exist over a great
portion of the South, it is practically
impossible for the busy housewife and
mother to do her duty, handicapped
as she is by such great inconven'
fences. This is especially true among
tenants. Health is menaced and dis
ease invited.
In the first place, as rule, the
houses are poorly constructed, gener-
ally from two to four rooms crowded
together without halls or porches, no
closets and no outbuildings. Even the
soiled clothes of the family must be
kept indoors, often in a corner of the
kitchen where the family food is pre-
pared.
Then, in addition to caring for her
children, chickens, cows, etc.. the over
worked housewife usually has to carry
all the water that she uses from some
spring or from the landlords well,
often two or three hundred yards dis
tant, and must go there to do the
family washing.
No woman can successfully combat
flies, dirt and disease under such con.
ditions, and to. me it is no surprise
that typhoid fever and other diseases
that are common during warm weather
are so prevalent Lula Armour,

THE BRAzos BOTTOM RAILROAD
MUST BE BUILT.

The railroad committee of the Com
mercial Club met this morning at 10
O'Clock and took active measures for
immediate work. 1t is recognized by
the business interests that the planters
In the Brazos bottom, the very heav-
lest subscribers to the stock of the
proposed Bryan & Brazos River rail-
road. in volunteering to give, their
stock as a bonus to a new organiza-
ton that they may assist in securing
this road TO Bryan instead of letting
Iit so to another territory without a
cent OF expense to them, should be met
by a quick response to insure the early
building of the line. One question has
been settled: road is going to be
built into the bottom this spring. II
Bryan does not control it, 1t will be a
disaster to Bryan. The committee de-
cided upon quick and decisive action.
The plan is to visit every subscriber
~ "HN NoPAtoi otoSh Vi the ulSt pro-
posed road and secure their consent
to apply the money already paid in
toward the bonus fund and then col
lect enough to make up the balance of
the $4,000. In order to safeguard the
Bryan interests a committee selected
three trustees to handle the fund, con-
sisting of w. Wipprecht, chairman;
Eugene Edge and Robert Armstrong.
The proposed contract with the rail
road people will contain clause to
build the road to the Carson-Smith
plantation, also to run at least one
train into Bryan to arrive at about
IL o'clock daily and one returning
leave Bryan at about p. m.
1t now seems that every feature in
protecting the interests of the people
of Bryan has been covered, and the
main thing now is quick action that
contract may be closed up before some
contingency presents itself.

The explosion at San Antonio. in
which twenty-five men were killed and
nifty others injured. was one OF the
most horrible tragedies that has oc-
Cured in Texas in long time. II is
to be hoped the Investigation now in
progress win locate the cause. and IL
it be found to be the work Of enemies
of the road, the full penalty OF the law
should be melted out to the guilty
parties. Bryan Eagle
Such accidents are liable to occur at
any time. and it is wrong to suggest
that the explosion was the work of
strikers. The men who are on strike
in Texas have been in the employment
of the Southern Pacific for many years
and compare favorably with any other
class of workingmen. 1t is incredible
to believe they would be party to such
an awful and hideous work as the
blowing up of locomotives. When the
strikers have been accused of commit
ting crimes of which they are innocent
they retaliate by saying the infamy
was done by persons employed by the
company for the purpose of creating
public sympathy 1t has come to a
pretty pass when such condition
should be possible in Texas, and State
Topics hopes the next legislature will
investigate the causes which have
brought about such a state of affairs,
taking all testimony under oath. The
time has come when the rights of the
public are to be taken into considera-
ton. The suggestion that the accident
was caused by some outside explosive
Is ridiculous. Locomotives, before
they are taken out of the roundhouse,
are fired up and it requires a long time
to get up steam, consequently any out

profession to have anything TO do
with such traffic, the doctors, attend.
ing the North Dakota Medical asso.
citation meeting at Devils Lake pass
ed resolutions condemning the pro-
posed bill to permit the sale of liquor
on Doctors prescription.
This bill came up for considerable
discussion during the meeting. The
doctors held that it was not right to
put the sale Of liquor up to them, as
the profession was using it less and
less each year The resolution strong
ly opposes it's passage, and was pass
ed unanimously.
The physicians also passed resolu-
lions urging the establishment OF a
state board of health, similar to the
in Minnesota. That such a commits
sion could be secured the doctors urg-
ed that Governo.elecS Hanna be asked
to recommend its establishment.
DR.. Ruediger, who was one of the
delegates from this city, said that the
laboratory at the university could be
used for the work of such commits

delegated to secure facts and figures
