A. & M. FOOTBALL TEAM
ARE OFF ON TOUR
viii Play Kansas Agsies Friday and
Oklahoma A. and M. College on
Monday.

The Farmers football team, eighteen
strong. in charge of ChaHes Moran,
head coach. and ProfessorfR. j. Potts,
general manager of Athletics. left yes
terday in their special Pullman on the
Hustler for Kansas and Oklahoma
where they meet the famous Kansas
Aggies Friday afternoon at Manhat
tan, Kansas, and Oklahoma Agricul.
tural and Mechanical College Monday
at saltwater, Oklahoma. This is the
first long trip the Farmers have at
tempted in several years. and while
the team is not as strong as 1t has
been in previous years, they are con.
fident OF winning both games.
The Farmers have not forgotten
their loss to the Kansas Aggies last
year. which was the only defeat the
famous team had. and that was more
OF case OF luck than anything else.
The farmers have not met the Okla
bona Aggies in several years. but in
their last gridiron battle the Texas
Aggies were victorious by score OF
II to 0. The men are in the pink OF
condition and. since their game in Dali
las. they have gone through strenuous
workouts. Many new plays have been
given the team. Since Holm has been
declared ineligible by the T. 7. A. A..
he has been busy assisting Moran with
the Farmers, and they have showed
wonderful improvement since their
game with Mississippi.
The Registrar of the College called
for reports on all football men on the
first of November and practically all
of them passed the required number
of hours, fourteen.
Both Coach Moran and Professor
Potts are determined that as little
time~from their studies as possible is
to be lost on this trip, consequently
an order has been issued that each
man take his books. They will be re-
quired to study several hours each
day. This work will be done under the
supervision of Professor Potts. 1t is
expected that this will prove very
beneficial. as it will enable the stu
dents to do work that would otherwise
be missed.
The faculty at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas, enforces
all rules rigidly, especially the rule
concerning scholarship requirements.
They insist that students do excellent
work in their studies If they are to
take part in athletics. There are sew
eral star football men in college now
that are not eligible on account of not
having passed the required number of
hours work in their last term OF at
attendance. With these men on the
squad 1t would be materially strength
ened. but the faculty says no.
When the Farmers return from this
trip they have a weeks rest before
meeting the Haskell Indians, which
will no doubt be the hardest game of
the year. The Indians have met but
one defeat this season and that at the
hands Of Nebraska, the champions Of

WHERE ARE WE ATT

Secretary Of State Bryan now says
that no absolute ultimatum was sent
by this government to Huerta to get
off the face Of the earth, as given
worldwide publicity yesterday. II the
other world powers are kept jumping
and somersaulting on the position Of
the United States toward Mexico, as
the people Of this country are. then
we must indeed be the laughing
stock of the whole world. It Is one
thing one day, the next day it is
something else. One day We are hot,
the next day we are cold. One day
we are going to eat Mexico and
Huerta blood-raw, the next day we are
as peaceful as dove and w. ]. sips

Princeton to vote. These United
States should come to some sort OF
a decision about what they are going
to do, let the world know it, and then
proceed to do it. Peacefully If pos

cost or the methods necessary.

A GOLDEN TEXT.
"They Have Increased Their Freedom
BY Reducing Their Wants"

~
Seldom have we seen in literature,
more gripping text or one that con
tains a greater truth than the above
from Maude Radford Warren in the
October Harpers. In an article she
describes the simple, happy, contented
| lives of the inhabitants of Chinco.
league, an island on the Atlantic
coast.
In searching for the reason for their
contentment and happiness she has
stated a truth of the utmost signifi-
canoe and one that should have a
worldwide application.
We are slaves not to our necessi'
ties but to our wants and naturally
the fewer our desires the lighter our
slavery.
Some one has aptly said that it
is not the high cost of living that is
now troubling the world, but the cost
of high living.
If people would cease to encourage
useless wants, cultivate vain desires
and be content with necessities, there
would be no complaint of hard times,
no insane struggle to have things just
for the sake of appearances, no heart.
burnings and jealousy because our
neighbor had a little more OF this
worlds goods than we. Slavery to
wants is not confined to US of limited
income.
The rich, no doubt, have their own
troubles, due to untitled, because, I'M
reasonable, desires and for them we
have small sympathy.

WOULD RAISE FUND
FOR FAITHFUL NEGROES

Mr.. J. E. Convey suggests that be-
cause OF the faithfulness and heroic
services OF Reddin Andrews and Eu-
gene Rogers, colored. at the convict
camp when Supt. McMinn was murd-
cred. a fund should be raised for their
benefit Both OF them rushed to Mr..
McMinn's assistance when they saw
the attack made on him, and one OF
them fired on the fleeing convicts. Both
OF them rendered every assistance In
their power TO Mr.. McMinn. and after
the arrival of assistance and the Of
ficers, did everything else they could.
The suggestion is good one and
the Eagle believes the faithfulness
shown by these colored men should
be rewarded The list will be run in

As TO FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

Houston will provide free school
books for all pupils In the public
schools. The system adopted is to
commence with the lower grades and
70 year by year advance the list Of
the beneficiaries until all the pupils
are provided for. It is going to cost
some money! lot Of money-and
under the present system 1t is cost
ing just as much. or more. The diff
ference In the plans of the patrons
buying the books and the city fur
nishing them. is in the distributor of
the expense SO that all property and
all people will share the burden, and
burden IL is to the majority of school
patrons. Everybody shares in the
cost of building school houses, en-
ploying teachers and otherwise pro-
viding the place and the means of in
structing the children. In buying
their books there is no added expense
to the tax payers, but merely diff
ferent distribution of the available
FUNDS. Maybe they will have to get
along with less handsome school
building, the cutting out of some spe-
cial studies and the like, in order to
have money for the books, but in do
ing so the masses will be better serv-
ed and many a child who otherwise
does not attend or who places heavy
burden on parents, will be the bene-
ficiary. There never was anything

MEL DRENNEN SPEAKS
OF MOVING DAY

Tie Honorable Walter Melville Dren-
men, head of the Overland distribution
in this district, yesterday referred TO
the fact that by motor operations NOV
ing day had been robbed of its terrors
and that now all hoGseholders could
feel unafraid to approach that duty OF
life which has in the past possessed
such apprehension. He said;
mo longer is moving day the buga-
boo of the man whose business or plea
sure requires that he move from city

other city OF. town. The nightmarish
visions of vexations delays, broken or

ture is dissipated. IIe no longer re-
CARDS moving day as the inning of the
coterie of grin, dcstroyers whose one
aim seems to, be the reduction of his
household goods to mass of splintered
and broken wood and upholstery. The
motor truck has solved the problem of
moving for him.
"Distance has been annihilated by the
power var. a renewal OF up to 100
miles no longer means a wait of from
three or four Gays to as many weeks

ANOTHER UNUSUAL
CADILLAC PERFORM ANCE

Hubert Drennen yesterday related
the following in reference TO a cadiI-
lac car, which started on the spark
after ten weeks of storage:
Recently comment was made that
while the cadillac was the first motor
car to. be equipped with an automatic
elctric starting device, 1t was gener-
ally regarded as the car that least
needed such a device as it so frequently
started by the spark. In this connec-
ton typical incident was narrated
In which 4 Cadillac started on the spark
after being five weeks in transit on Its
way from petroit to Vancouver, b. c.,

Now comes the Cadillac dealer at
Winnipeg with similar incident which
puts the vancouver slofy coihpietely III

"Joseph Mcdonald OF Winnipeg about
to depart Ger England. decided to take
his Cadillac with hirl and gave IN
structions for shipment. The car was
drained ard loaded December 10, its
destination being st. Johns, where 1t
was transferred to a steamer for the
old country. Transportation was SO
slow, however. that before 1t arrived
three boats had sailed from st. Johns.
Mr.. Mcdonald cabled. therefore, to have
It sent back to Winnipeg. as there
would not be time enough for him to
get any use out of the car while abroad.
The Cadillac was caught at st. johns
before it had been removed from the
freight car and was returned to VIM
nipeg without being touched.
1t arrived home and was unloaded
February 20. Therefore during IL
weeks of the colo season 1t had re-
NAMED in the freight car. Yet after
unloading. it started on the spark and

therefore justified in claiming the rec
ord for this particular kind of Cadillac

KING COMFORT

There is perhaps no automobile man

that delightful condition of life and
when Yesterday he referred TO the re-

Complaint is sometimes heard of the

though there were something highly
suspicious in the fact that all possible
refinements were not thought OF at the
same time.
"Of course, 1t is the duty OF the
maker to add improvements as they oc-

TO ARRANGE
TRAFFIC CENSUS

Recognition of the fact that more in
formation is needed in determining the
proper type of construction for any
given section of road. the Natlonai
good roads board of the American Au-
tomobile association is convinced that
proper steps should be taken in every
state in the union to gather such data
as will show the number. character and
approximate weights OF vehicles pass
ing over the principal roads.
The failure of many roads to stand
IN under the traffic is due, not as many
persons suppose, to inferior materials
and workmanship, but to the lack OF
preliminary information as to the trai-
tic the road was expected to stand.
Consequently roads have been pnlil
which would have lasted for years
under other travel conditions' now
they are ruins. due to the absence ol
data which the engineering profession
in any other branch of their work
would have considered essentlai. On
this subject the Engineering Hecoro
of March Is says:
