which signifies Graves of Greediness. .
Thus did the Lord permit the murmurers
the unthankful. to cut themselves off from
further opportunity for murmuring.
The happiest condition of mind con-
ceivable is that which is satisfied with
Gods appointments and provisions. This
is especially appropriate to Spiritual
Israelites particularly the royal priest
hood, whose covenant by sacrifice in
cludes all earthly rights and interests.
The spirit of discomfort looks away from
the heavenly mama, longing for other
food. The Lord grants to such an oppor-
tunity of feasting to the full on what they
crave; but the murmurers cease from be-
ing members of the Lords family.
The Bible supplies the mama of divine
truth. The truth needs to be gathered,
ground and baked. But it is Gods provi-
sion, wholesome. nutritious, necessary for
our perfecting as Gods people. Yet some
crave the fleshpots of Egypt-the world S

their reach. They fill themselves with
higher criticism and evolutionary theories.

Graves of Greediness
Greed, sefishness, stands connected
with sin of every kind. 1t leads to every
form of immortality, to satisfy its selfish
propenslties. 1t leads to injustice and
untruthfulness In its endeavor to acquire
a large share of Gods blessings. 1t leads
to anger, malice, hatred, envy, strife and
murder in its endeavor to get and to hold
a superabundant share of this world :
goods. Selishness is thus unrighteous-
ness, and "all unrighteousness is sin."
AS we think of IsraeIs graves of
spiritual Israelites have made similar mis-
takes. Greedy for the things of the
world, they have neglected their covenant
with the Lord and the higher interests of
the life to come. There is danger in set
ting the heart upon these worldly things,
coveting them and serving them idola-
trously. thus fastening our spiritual in
terment.

SPIRIT OF COOPERATION NEEDED

The present disagreement between
the officials OF the city and the Off
Gals of the Interurban Railroad Com
pany in regard to water, is a very
unfortunate affair. II creates discord
where the greatest harmony should
prevail, and engenders opposition
where there should be cooperation.
The success of the railroad enter
prise is certainly for the best inter-
ests OF the city, and for that reason,
II for no other il should be assisted
in every way possible.
The railroad company is straining
every nerve possible to complete their
line in thine to handle this crop from
the bottom, and with the cooperation
OF the city and the citizens they can
do it. If it is done, it will be great
benefit to the farmers of the bottom
and relieve them from the irksome
task OF transporting their cotton to
the city by mule teams, which has al
ways been a great drawback to farm
ing in the bottom, and one of the Sc
verest tests of the whole year, and
one well-nigh impossible If We have
a rainy fall and winter. With the
completion of the line within the next
few weeks the cotton and cotton seed
could be brought in by rail and one
of the greatest objects for which the
road was intended, will have been ac-
complished
How this freight traffic and the
vast number of passengers the road
would bring into Bryan every day,
and especially on Saturdays, would
benefit the city. is so apparent as not
TO need recounting. 1t would benefit
every interest of the city, and the
benefit would be so great that all
should be willing to cooperate in ev-
cry way possible THAI it may be Sc
cured
The road is now completed from
Stone City this way to the Little Braz-
os, and about eight mills of track is
completed from Bryan west. leaving
a gap of only about two miles to be
closed up before reaching the Little
BraZos. BY the time this is done the
Little Brazos bridge will be complet-
ed which will open the line to Stone
City. The company is bending every
effort to run the first through train
10 Stone City on August 18th. Let's
all help them do it.
They have nine miles graded on the
west side of the river down the bot
tom from Stone City and the work is
being pushed rapidly. When this end
of me line to the river is completed
so that material can be carried down
in large quantities, the track laying
outfit of the H. & T. c. will be used,
and only short time will be neces-
sary 10 complete the road on the Bur
Lesson County side.
With no setbacks the entire line
should be in operation early in Sep
TENDER and Bryan should be reaping
the benefits that are sure to follow
abe opening up, or rather the connect
ing UP by rail of that vast territory.
To this end the Eagle INDUCES the
hope that the differences between the
city and the railroad company may be
adjusted as speedily as possible, and
that from now on the greatest har-
mony and cooperation may prevail.

REPRESENTATIVES FIRST,
SCHOOLS SECOND

A pretty state of affairs exists at
Austin. One that is a shame to the
great State of Texas. Things have
become SO turned and twisted that it
seems that the affairs of the States
must be attended to first. Our educa-
tional institutions are secondary con-
lsiderations. II there are any "leay-
! ngs" afer the penitentiary has been
provided for, they will be cast, like
Towser's bone, to the States institu.
tons of higher education.
The last legislature authorized the
issuance of bonds to discharge the
debts of the penitentiary, but accord
ing to the ruling of the attorney gen.
leral, they can not be used for this
purpose. Commenting editorially on
this fact the Galveston News says:
"The suggestion seems to have been
made at Austin that since, according
Ito the attorney generals ruling, the
Indebtedness of the prison system can
not be discharged with the bonds au-
thorized during the regular session of
the legislature, 1t will be necessary to
cut the intended allowances for our
higher schools, and the money meant
for them to be applied to the debts OF
the prison system. If anything were
needed to give the emphasis of a
proper climax to the misfortunes and
mismanagement of our prison system,
il would be the acceptance of this
proposal to make vicarious victims
out of our schools, to starve the cause
of education that the credi5 of penal
institution might be re-established! 1t
has been the baneful habit of Texas
legislatures to nourish our schools on
the remnants left after supplying the
needs of all other institutions; but
never before has it been expressly
proposed that the needs of the peni-
tentiaries be preferred to those of the
university, the agricultural and me-
chanical college and all other educa-
tional Institutions. We don't believe
the legislature will be very strongly
inclined to adopt suggestion of this
kind"
