MERELY COMMENT

Saturday night.
She deserves it-for taking a
chance on oysters at this time of the
year.
MacIay Hoyne positively yeIps at
the idea that special states attor-
ney is necessary to conduct the in
vestigation into fraud in the general
election of last November.
We can understand how MacIay
feels about it. Very likely he suspects
that an unbiased states attorney
might be preiudiced against MacIay
Hoyne.
The Association of Commerce
walls that much money collected for
charity goes to women hackers Of
the entertainments at which the
money was raised.
You can see how the Association
feels. Probably the woman back
ers" are not members of the Associa-
ton.
The resolution granting Hearst
decree of absolute divorce without
alimony from the County Democracy
was lost in committee last night.
The County Democracy might find
it worth while to throw in little ali
mony as an inducement
While the peace delegates are in
town they might try it on the Demo-
cratic factions.
Gee Whiz, just think of 1.-TWO live
lords in Chicago today-Lord Chey-
lesmore and Lord Weardale. But
they're human beings and wear
pants, so you can't tell 'em from
other men.

Among other things, the peace
delegates will go out and take Whit

But they'd better be careful. John

LETTER FROM CEN. BLISS
Replies to Letter From Secretary
Hewitt Relative to Relief Work
Done by U. S. Army.

Secretary L. NJ. Hewitt of the Bryan
Commercial Club has received the fol-
lowing letter from General Bliss, U.
S. A., commanding the Southern De-
partment, in response to the letter of
thanks sent him for his prompt action
in sending relief to the food sufferers:
Fort Sam Houston, Tex,
December &c, 1913.
Mr.. l.. NJ. Hewitt, Secretary the Bryan
Commercial Club, Bryan, Tex.
Dear Sir-lt is extremely gratifying
to me, as Department Commander and
as representing the War Department
at this station, to receive your appre-
ciative letter of December "a in ref
erence to the relief work at Bryan
and its vicinity by Colonel Krauthoff,
Lieutenant Levi G. Brwon and their
assistants.
AS |, at the time, informed the
Mayor of your city, it was very diff
cult to respond promptly to the first
requests for assistance. The railroads
both from San Antonio and Galveston
were temporarily out of commission.
Nevertheless, at both places cars were
loaded, with instructions to put
through the first that could reach your
city or vicinity. It so happened that
an indirect route from Galveston was
opened up first.
l thank you for the commentator
of the work of Colonel Krauthoff and
those with him, and l shall take pleas.
ure in transmitting your letter to the
Secretary of War.
With my expression of great regret
for the distressing experience through
which your people have had to go, and
of my pleasure that the War Depart
ment was able to help you in any de-
gree. wish you and the Commercial
Club and the people of Bryan a
speedy recovery from the disaster,
and, as compensation for II, most
happy new year.
Very sincerely yours.

GOVERNOR coLQUITT AND FLOOD
RELIEF.

Governor Colquitt has withdrawn
from any further participation in the
relief work incident to the recent
flood. His reason for further CO.
operation in the work, and for saying
that further help is not needed, is that
the Brazos valley farms are owned by
rich men who are able to take care of
the situation. In the Governors state
ment he says in part:
Much property has been destroyed,
but / do not feel justified in asking
the public to contribute money to re-
build houses and fences for wealthy
plantation owners who are able to do
this for themselves. ] devoted efforts
to secure relief for suffering humanity,
the unfortunate negroes and Mexicans
who were driven out of their homes
by the high waters, and had their
small effects, in some cases, washed
away.
"In the Brazos valley a good crop
of cotton was produced; perhaps 80
per cent of it had been gathered, and
so per cent probably sold. The plant
ers as a rule are in good financial con-
dition. In some individual cases, we'll
TODD planters are asking that the pub
lie continue to contribute in order that
they may have assistance in taking
care of their tenants: in most cases
planters prefer to take care of their
own people, because it is to their in
terest to do so, and in this way keep
on good terms and control their labor.
Il have no desire to encourage idle
ness, or those able to work to look
forward to free provisions and sup
plies, to support them in idleness My
representatives, and the mayors and
chairmen of most of the relief COM
mittees with whom | am in touch,
within the last forty-eight hours have
advised me that the planters and 9TH
idle negro employment who is willing
to work.
81 have Geographic reports cover
ing practically all points in Falls, Rob
ertson, Milan, Burleson, Washington
and Waller Counties, saying that the
planters were ready and willing to
give all idle negroes employment at
remunerative wages and that the
needs of the communities in these
counties have been practically all sup
Piled as far as could be done by the
public, with the exception of some adj
ditional bedding and blankets
The Governors information on the
subject is only partially true. There
are many planters, of course, who are
able to take care of themselves and
their tenants, but how about the small
farmer? The bottom is full of small
farm owners (many of them not fully
paid OUT both white and colored, who
lost their all. These small farmers
cannot rehabiltate their farms-build
houses, buy corn, buy planting seed
and other supplies assist
ance, to save their lives. And how
are they to get assistance? The banks
are not lending a dollar, even on the
best security; then where is their
help to come from?

no effort at all, AS long as a man

hope for him. When he falls and is
satisfied to stay down, the chapter is

eoDD STUFF.

The holidays will soon be owed and
it will then be the patriotic duty of
everybody to get back on the subject
of good roads. A plan can be worked
out to improve the roads of Brazos
County and it should be done. The
annual loss to farmers in lost time
because of bad roads is appalling and
should be stopped. The Eagle be-
comes more strongly convinced every
day, however, that whatever work is
done should be of permanent nature
Patchwork is keeping every munich
pality and every county in the State
broke.-Bryan Eagle.
That is good stuff" Everybody in
Texas ought to be jealous for good
roads. Good roads are puissant de-
velopers. Land tapped by good road
is more than twice as valuable as land
almost inaccessible, and the product
of the former is more than twice as
valuable as that of the latter because
it can be taken to market more quick
ly and more economically. The origin
of all wealth is in the land, conse-
quently anything that will develop the
land concerns everyone affected by
wealth, nor how little nor how much.
