The Democratic Administra.
lion Endorsed.

1t is not often that the first elections
after the Inauguration of President do
not show a reaction against his party.
In fact, it has become rule so general
that it is expected. But precedent cuts
no figure when the people are determin-
ed 10 show their appreciation of an ad-
ministration which is trying to live up
to all party promises, with an eye single
to the interests of the greatest number.
1t is, therefore, not surprising that in
the three States of Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Maryland, where State tick
cts were elected last week, that Democ-
racy was signally triumphant. Massa
chusetts and New Jersey have been re
garded as certainly Republican, and Ma
ryland has often gone that way. but each
of them returned large Democratic plu-
ralities this time, former rock ribbed
Republican Massachusetts electing the
entire Democratic ticket by some 60, 900
plurality, which is really as wonderful
as it is gratifying
So far the Democratic leaders have
made no serious mis- axes. The Presi-
dent has shown a remarkable devotion
to the peoples cause and Congress has
fulfilled in large measure what was ex-
pected of it. Clark and Underwood,
conlending candidates with Mr.. Wilson
for the Presidency, have labored with
him to crystaliZe into law the pledges
upon which the Democratic party re-
gained the power it was SO long depriv'
ed of, and it now seems that it will re
main in power for many years to come
as 1t did before the war and for sixty
years made this the most p osperous anC
happy country on the globe. 1t will re
main in power if the good sense, flint
| judgment and patriotism continue L
prevail as they have during the eigh
months that the Democratic party ha
been in charge of the Government.
The election in Kentucky being 70
local offices might not be taken as al
endorsement of the Administration, bu
1t really is, because the people are be
coming satisfied that the Democrati
party is capable of administering the al
fairs OF the country with wisdom an
conservatism and, therefore, the Who'll
trend of public sentiment is toward tn
party of the people, which rules by an

hope to see their country grow greater

the race for pleasure now going on

their nobler spirit. The current anus.

THE LANDLESs MAN.

In his study of social and political
questions in Europe the Honorable
Cullen F. Thomas gave particular at
tention to the land question, now a
paramount issue in English politics
He thinks that the same problem
along this line with which the English
are now contending is pressing upon
the people Of Texas for solution.
I'VE have 100000 tenant farmers
without homes in Texas" he said,
land We have hundreds OF thousands
of idle acres held for speculative pur.
poses. 1t is problem for our wisest
craftsmanship to bring together the
landless man and the manless land"
In our humble judgment, the hind.
rance to the solution Of this problem
is the lack of a currency system in this
country. It might help out some-we
merely indulge the suggestion-to ap.
proach the Henry George theory Of
taxation. A man buys a piece of land
and begins to improve and the State
comes along and increases his taxes
in conformity with the amount Of in.
dustry he displays. There is something
here to think about; don't you think
so?
1t is a problem; 100000 tenant farm.
ers and millions of acres of unoccu.
pied lands. After you have thought
the matter up one side and down the
other you are bound in good con.
science to say that this needs remedy
ing.
Anyhow, discussion has begun; good
always come out of discussion-Waco

One reason that has been assigned
for the increased cost of living. and a
good one, is the growth of the cities,
increasing the number OF mouths to
be fed without a corresponding in.
crease of producers in the farming dis
tricts. And as these conditions pre-
vail all over the world. food.stuff is
scarce everywhere, and for that rea-
son we cannot see much hope of relief
because of the reduced tariff sched-
ules.

The Eagle would again direct the
attention of its readers to the Texas

the people Of Brazos County wish to
