THE COST OF LIVING.

In my judgment the primary factor
in the rise in the cost of living the
world over is the fall in value of gold,
due to excessive and growing finan-
cial exactions. In other words, it is
produced by the steadily growing en-
croachment on the individual through
the indirect tax and the deferred
payment, the two agents of tyranny
in the past, now used for the self
oppression of democracy.-Prof.D David
Starr Jordan.
With due apologies to Prof. David
Starr Jordan, we think he is bloom
ing idiot. The reason for the high cost
of living is because of the high prices
OF everything else. Every lick of work
hit and everything produced COM
mands a good price, and likewise
that enters into our living
is correspondence high.

COMMERCIAL CLUB BANQUET.

the Hotel Bryan. A new board of d.
rectors for the ensuing year will be
elected and other business of the club
transacted. At the conclusion of the
business session the banquet will be
served. This meeting WHIP be by far
the most important coming together
of the business and professional men
of Bryan since the occasion similar
to it was held one year ago.
These meetings bring our business
men and business interests closer to-
gether and into closer and more har-
monious relations, aiding and foster
ing that unanimity of purpose abso-
lutely necessary to the development
and advancement of any community.
No business man in Bryan should
be absent tonight, and every man
should be in his seat at the appointed
hour-S:3O sharp.

DANCING THE TRoT.

We read about the prevalence of the
turkey trot in certain restaurants in
New York with very much the same
sense of remoteness with which we
read of the operations of the Monte
negrins before Scutari.
Who under heaven go to restaurants
to dance the turkey trot, and why,
why, why do they do it? 1t seems that
the Mayor has ordered these places
to be closed at l o'clock at night,
which seems reasonable enough.
Who has time and strength to eat
and drink and dance the trot after l
o'clock?
But it seems they do it now in the
afternoon, too, crowds of distraught
people.
Amazing!
Who has time in this working sea-
son of the year to dance in the after
noon? People used to do it at summer
hotels, but not the trot. Not that the
trot seems to be so bad now. We read
that it is decent enough, as rule,
but that it is prevailing craze.
Well, well! This is a strange world
and very much replenished with partly
demented people. Here is our Presi-
dent and Congress working overtime
to reduce the tariff and the cost of
living so that the public can subsist,
and here's our Mayor, good deal
bothered, apparently, because so many
people insist on dancing in restaurants
in the afternoon and after l o'clock
at night.
So hard it is to reconcile the facts
of life.-Harper's Weekly.

THE EAGLES SPECIAL EDITION.

The special Prosperity" edition of
The Eagle, which has been in course
of preparation for several weekss has
been completed and is now ready for
distribution. 1t is not the province
of The Eagle to praise its own efforts,
yet we can not but believe that it is
a creditable effort, and will contribute
no little to the future welfare of
Bryan. The resources of the city and
county are placed before the home
seeker, the manufacturer and investor,
thereby bringing us in closer touch
with the outside world, and with those
who are seeking new locations.
An effort is made to emphasize the
desirability of Brazos County as
place to establish home, because of
the fertility of the soil, the cheapness
of the lands, the splendid rural schools
and churches, free rural mail delivery,
neighborhood telephones, plenty of
water and other conveniences and adj
vantages.
The advantages of Bryan are shown
in its splendid educational system, it's
churches, it's municipality owned pub
lie utilities, its industrial enterprises,
