1t is announced that the bona fide
social clubs in Texas will at once
start an investigation and report to
the authorities all clubs that are not
bona fide." What they term as clubs
that are not bona fide" are those run
for profit. In the opinion of The
Eagle there is no such thing as a
"bona fide" club where liquors are
served during hours other than the
regular hours prescribed by law for
regular saloons. To be more spe-
cific, between the hours of $3.50 p. m.
and a. m. and on Sundays and cleo
ton days. A CLUB" is only another
name for saloon and you can't make
anything else out of it. There is no use
to close the doors at one. place and

ture will do business with the clubs"

Distract Attorney w. C. Davis said
in speech before a mass meeting
at Bryan recently that he had seen
a letter from the governor in which
he said that no man would be re-
tanned in the employment of any
state institution who antagonizes the
policies of the administration. Mr..
Davis had reference, of course, to the
resignation of Col. r. T. Miner as
president of the A. and NJ. College.
Mr.. Miner was not appointed by the
governor, but was reelected president
of that institution by the board of
regents, named by the governor. Col.
Miner is opposed to S. j. Resolution
No. Is, proposing among other things
bond issue for the educational in
situations to be voted on next month.
The governor favors it. Result: Col.
Miner resigns. Every appointee of
the governor is nothing more nor less
than a figurehead Col. Miner is too
big a man to be a figurehead for any
body.-TeXas Mesquiter.

LEAVING FOR GREEK ARMY.

George Pappalamprous, the Greek
who has worked this winter and
spring in the ice cream parlor OF
Holmes and Burden, left today for
Galveston, where he will sail to New
York and thence to Athens, Greece,
to enlist in the Greek army for the
war with Bulgaria. He has been in
the United States for nine years, and
previous to coming from Greece
served two years in the army.
A group in the candy kitchen were
discussing the matter with him, and
he was told that he had better stay
here, as he might be killed in the
army. He responded, What is the
use of being alive if you have no
homer" He asked his advisors what
they would do if the Japs landed in
San Francisco, and upon being quesr
toned as to what course he would
take, he said that he would enlist and
fight them If he was a citizen here,
that he believed in freedom.
He is quiet and unobtrusive man,
but nevertheless is afire with patriot
ism and determination, and will make
a good soldier. After the war he will
return to Bryan.

AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
Reasons Advanced Against the Unlim
tied Issuance Of Bonds.


The following statement has been
issued from the headquarters OF the
state organization which is opposing
the adoption OF the amendment to sec
tons 40 and 80 OF article OF the con.
stitution
An address issued by the regents
OF the University, which has been ex-
.tensively circulated, makes the state
ment that the adoption of the bond
amendment
viii provide the funds neces-
sary for the proposed expansion
of the University without any
addition whatever to the taxes
borne by the people. The in
come from the University perma-
nent endowment is amply suff-
cient to pay the interest and
provide a sinking fund for the
bonds proposed.
This is a very clever, but a very
misleading statement, in that ii does
INTO inform the reader of the fact that
nowhere in the amendment is there
anything which compels the legisla-
ture, or says that the legislature shall
use any part of the permanent fund
to pay off either the interest or bonds.
1t is left to the Legislature entirely.
Besides, the permanent income of the
University will not pay the interest,
to say nothing of the bonds, for the
five or seven million dollars which the

y ~ ~ "-T -,rT Nt1H tT"u,
Resolution No. IS is progressively
Democratic. AS the education confer.
ence says, the adoption of the amend
ment will authorize the state to pro-
coed with the erection of buildings

institutions on the same plan that
school houses are erected in country

Why cannot the advocates of Resolu-
ton IS tell it just like it is? The
Chronicle says if is is adopted it will
authorize the state to proceed with
the erection OF buildings on the same
plan that school houses are erected in
country districts and in cities and
towns. Why will the Chronicle make
a statement like this? Why will it
not come clean and tell the people
where these school houses referred
to are built by bond issues, that the
bonds are first voted by the people,
while under Resolution IS the bonds
for state buildings would be issued by
the legislature without the people
having any voice in it? Why not tell
the whole truth just like it is? Is
there not virtue enough in Resolution

NAMES COL. MIlNER FOR GOV
ERNOR.

Nobody can scare w. P. Lane. He
is determined to run for governor.
While the Enterprise is not at this
time advocating anybody for governor,
it believes in a free for all, letting
the best man win. Lane will not go
into an elimination meeting with the
bosses, and that makes him seeming
ly strong with the people. 1t may be
that Fort Worth will furnish two can
didates, each representing a different
political idea, one a prohibitionist, w.
P. Lane, and the other, W. A. Hanger,
an anti-prohibitionist. 1t would be
much better for Texas if this vexed
prohibition question were eliminated
in the coming campaign, and a man
who is good business man, standing
upon business principles, were elevat-
ed to the chair of governor of Texas.
-Cleburne Enterprise.
The Review has suggested the very
man the Enterprise has described in
the above in the person of Col. R. T.
Miner. The country newspaper men
and the farmers would have staunch
friend in him since he is both news
paper man and a farmer But he is a
man of such broad views that every
interest would be looked after by him.
The Review insists he is the psyche
logical man and this is the psyche
logical moment to start him to the
governors chair.
