Austin, Texas, Feb. 26.-Hon. E. A.
Calvin, Representative from Harris
County and one OF the leaders in pro-
gressive legislation in the lower
House, piloted the resolution through
the Legislature calling for a Consti-
tutional amendment permitting coun-
ties to issue bonds for building ware
houses for storing and marketing cot
ton according to plans of the Farmers
Union. Mr.. Calvin was also instru-
mental in defeating the full crew bill,
thereby saving the shippers of Texas
million dollars per annum, and he
has been actively identified with all
measures promoting and protecting
the interests of the farmers.
Mr.. Calvin was formerly president
of the Farmers Union and is one of
the best known agriculturists in the
State. There are many farmers in the
present Legislature and they never
play politics, but on roll call stand
squarely for the best interests of
Texas.

NEW CITY WELL WILL
Be BORED PROMPTLY

A. A. Smell, who has the contract
to bore a new well for the city, was
interviewed by an Eagle reporter to-
day and stated that he expected to
commence work next week. Most of
the machinery is already here and the
chief delay is getting in boiler from
the oil well. After the machinery is
set up it will take only a few days
to go the required depth. In about ten
days after he gets started he can have
the well completed and ready for the
tests to be made.
The city authorities are pushing the
matter in order to prepare for the
increased demand for water when the
summer season comes on.

.CROUDS GATHERING
At WASHINGTON

Washington, Feb. 26.-The crowds
have begun to gather in Washington
for the great Inauguration show. This
week alone there are being held three
large National conventions that are
being attended by delegates from all
parts of the country. Added to this
number are the visitors to the Clay
Products Exposition, which opened at
the Coliseum today and continues into
March.
Every means possible is being used
to prevent the hotels from initiating
prices unreasonably and the inaugural
committee has sent out assurances to
the various large cities that eXtortion-
ate prices will not be charged inaugu-
ration visitors.
Plans for the inaugural parade are
about completed. 1t will be impossible
to allow all of the organizations that
want to participate in the grand march
the space they desire, because it would
mean almost a complete blockade OF
traffic. There will be at least 10000
civilians in line, in addition to the
$4,000 soldiers and sailors from the
regular and State militia service in
| line.

We can't all see things through the
same glasses and there is no use in
trying to do so. Neither is it sensible
to fly off the handle and get mad at
the fellow who expresses an idea not
just exactly in keeping with our own.
--Navasota Examiner.
Let them get mad, brother; you
can't please them all no way. Decide
on your policy and stay with it to the
bitter end. The newspaper or indi-
vidual that tries to keep everybody
in a good humor, that is afraid to
speak above whisper, that soft
pedals all the time, will never amount
to a notch on a stick, much less a
notch on a gun handle.

VERDICT ALREADY RENDERED.

Huerta asks the world to suspend
Judgment as to the responsibility OF
himself and his Government for the
slaughter of Madero and Suarez. The
likelihood is, though, the world pro-
nounced judgment before he thus
sought stay, nor is it probable that
any evidence he may advance will
cause a modification of that judg-
ment. The circumstances of this hor-
rifying tragedy are as highly crimi-
native of himself and his compatriots
as any imagined circumstances well
could be. The tine chosen for the re-
moval of Madero and Suarez is itself
a suspicious circumstance. 1t was a
time least likely to supply witnesses.
1t is said an attempt at rescue was
expected. If so, that is the more rea-
son for removing the prisoners from
the palace to the penitentiary in day
light. But the meagerness of the
guard provided bellies that pretense.
Huerta says two of the attacking force
were killed, but it is not alleged that
any of the guard was killed, which
suggests that the attack, assuming
one to have been made, was hardly
formidable. Finally, or to cite no other
circumstance, Huerta announced, on
putting himself in power, that his
policy would be that Of blood and
iron," as antithetical as possible to
that of Madero, whose chief defect
in the estimation of Huerta, was his
mercifulness toward his enemies
Therefore, to suspect and even be-
ilieve that Madero and Suarez were
murdered in obedience to orders is
merely to suppose that Huerta was
carrying out the policy he had an
nounced.-Galy eston News.

FORTY YEARS AGO

In 1873 an eminent Hollander, who
had come TO America to attend a re-
ligious convention, made a trip to
Iowa to visit the Dutch colonies IN
this state. In his account of this
journey, translation of which ap-
pears In the April number OF The
Iowa Journal of History and Politics
published by the State Historical So
ciety of Iowa, he gives the following
description of the country along the
railroad from Fort Dodge to LIE Mars:
Here the whole country is still
practically wild, as We see when day
/ begins to dawn. Now and then we
stop for moment and see station

THE MEXICAN LAND TRUST.

Frank g. Carpenter, a well known
newspaper traveller md writer, throws
come light on the situation in Mexico.
He writes fhat the chief cause of the
trouble in that country Is the great
land trust, and that something like
1000 families own the bulk of the
good lands Of Mexico, and for genera
tions they have been ruling the coun-
try. They have had their lobbyists
at the capital and when they have
piped the statesmen have had to
dance. AS Carpenter says now, and
as generally known before, It was
upon promises To bring about a land
division that Madero made his cam
Paign for the presidency. He stump
! ed the country saying that II he be
came president he would so .ax the
big estates that the owners could not
afford to keep them Carpenter writes
that 1t was those big landholderg that
largely aided in bringing abou. the
defeat and death Of Madero, and Pres
ident Huerta and his party are in
debted to them Naturally under suci
conditions the rebellion continues as
before. Don Luis Terrazag and his
immediate relatives own 1000. 0o(

own the whole state of Tlaxcala.

estates In the state OF Coahuila and
elsewhere. This trust owned the
Mexican congress and the legislatures
of the states, but Madero wanted su-
preme political power, and was will
ing to get it. AS president he was
powerless, and finally the other big
land owners had him unseated and
murdered.
During the Madero rebellion which
unseated Diaz thousands of poems got
guns in their hands and learned
something about the advantage of
having guns. Now they intend to keep
the guns and use them until their
right to have patch of land apiece
is recognized Brt even now they are
led by big land owners who are am
bilious for political power. Their
leadership is submitted to because
they are able to buy ammunition
from the United States and else
where, and to get new guns as need
ed. The poor people who do not know
where their next meal is coming from
cannot do this so they submit to any
leadership which is able to buy guns
and ammunition.
Among the various travellers and
writers in Mexico is J. K Turner. who
furnishes much interesting informa-
ton. Turner writes that the rebels
are all from the rural districts where
few men have all the land and the
many have none, where production
from the land is the only means Of
livelihood, where those who have not
and must work for those who have.
and under conditions to which no
man with a spark OF manhood in him
would willingly submit.
What the end will be canno. be told
at this time, but the indications are
that peace is not near. and that
chaos must continue until the land
trust is overthrow. The mountains
of Mexico furnish good refuge or
desperate men with guns in their
hands. The end IS not yet.

With unworded rhythm, and rhyme
without thought.
II may be the MUSES. take this way Of

The patience and pains by which
poems are wrought.
1t may be some singer who passed

With songs all unfinished, is linger-

Which l am too dull of perception
to hear.
! hear not, see not; but feel the
sweet swinging
And swaying of meter, in sunlight
and shade,
The still arch of Space. with such
music is ringing
AS never an audible orchestra
The moments glide by me, and each
one is dancing;
Aquiver with life in each leaf on
the tree,
And out on the ocean is movement
enhancing,
AS billow with billow goes racing
with glee.
With never thought that is worthy
the saying.
And never theme to be put into
song,
Since early this morning, my mind
has been 'straying,
A vagahond thing, with vagabond
throng
With gay, idle moments, and wives OF
the ocean,
With winds and with sunbeams, and
treetops and birds,
1t has lifted along in the JOY Of mere
motion,
To songs without music, and verse
without words
