Congressman Henry moved an amendment that the government issue currency on, receipts of wheat or corn stored in warehouses and Con- gressman Ragsdale of Texas, all so insisted on the government loaning money on warehouse re- ceipts for cotton, claiming that the banks were holding the far mers up and that exorbitant rates are charged by bankers for money with which to carry the crops of the south.
 Congressman, Mann, the re- publican floor leader, ridiculed the majority, roasted the pres ent plans of the democrats for currency refoNm, claimed that if passed, the bill would drive out of business every bank in the country and participate the har- dest times the country has ever known. The debate became per- sonal and strong words were passed.
 Mann accused the democratic party of shielding the white sla- vers of the Pacific coast, who had money to purchase protec- tion and that the majority par ty refused to allow an investiga- :tion by Congress of the McNab charges.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

Morality is a matter Of geography,
says the Cleburne Enterprise. Quite
correct; a great many North Texas
people consider it greater crime to
sell a glass of beer in New Ulm than
to murder a man in Dallas.-New Ulm
Enterprise.
The moral of this is in the applica.
ton of it.-Houston Post.
Much also depends on the viewpoint,
and the viewpoint is very frequently
influenced by conditions and environ
ments. For instance, man ship
wrecked on a cannibal island was
dying from hunger after remaining in
hiding for several days. Seeing a
smoke, he approached it cautiously,
and hearing voices, stopped and lis
tened intently to catch what was said.
A voice perceptibly louder than the
others suddenly said: What in the
h did you play that card for?'
Whereupon the man dropped upon his
knees and thanked God that he was
in a Christian land.

WHERE IS YOUR NAME REGIS

the East Texas style to raise cotton
to buy feedstuff to raise more cotton"
The farmer who can not learn that
such style" will keep him poor to
the end of his days, no matter how
hard he may work, is incapable of
learning anything:-East Texas Reg

Amen! The Eagle has been preach
ing diversification for many years, and
while it is being practiced much more
extensively than in former times,
there are still some farmers who stick
to the all-cotton idea. They are the
ones whose names are registered at
the courthouse in connection with
crop mortgages, while the diversified
tionists have their names registered
on the books of the banks with good,
healthy balances opposite.

WHAT THE INTERURBAN ExTEN

a wonderfully rich, well developed
country, and it will be at your door"

The above expression from Colonel
Gushing is certainly encouraging and
cheering to the people of Bryan. Col
onel Cushing is a man not given to
idle statements, and his wide expert
ence gives weight and value to his
opinions.
The promoters of this extension of

every encouragement from our citi-
zens. They are doing a great work-a
work that will benefit Bryan far more
than We now imagine. Let every hand
be outheld to them. let every assist

THE EAGLES SPECIAL EDITION.

The special Prosperity" edition Of
The Eagle, which has been in course
of preparation for several weeks, 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 1t 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 a
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 ad-
vantages.
The advantages Of Bryan are shown
in its splendid educational system, its
churches, its municipality owned pub
lie utilities, its Industrial enterprises,
its elegant homes, and a comprehen.
sive exposition of its business and
professional firms. The social side of
Bryan is also represented, together
with its lodges-fraternal benevolent,
and social.
In size it is the largest publication
ever issued in Bryan-thirty-two
pages, every one of which is devoted
to the interests of Bryan and Brazos
County.
In this connection we wish to ex-
tend our thanks to the Bryan Com
mercial Club and it's secretary, Mr..
L. M. Hewitt, the live business and
professional men of Bryan, the good
ladies of the city, the ministers and
teachers, the officers and faculty, of
the A. and NJ. College. and all others
who in any way contributed to the
success of the Special Prosperity
edition.

Wool, cotton, sugar and meat are the
schedules constituting the bone of con-
tention in the tariff reduction fight.
Big dividends have been declared
through these products, and to retain
these dividends is going to precipitate
a.fight to the death on the part of the
manufacturers. If the saving to the
people (the object of tariff reduction)
can be taken from the dividends, in
stead of from the prices of the raw
material and labor, then the Demo
Gratis will be hailed as the savers Of
the country and will remain in power
for all time:

Farmers used to think it beneath
them to sell eggs, chickens, butter,
wood, vegetables, and other diversified
products. For this reason they were
forced to arrange with their merchant
at the beginning of each year for sup
plies to run on and give a mortgage
on the crop to be grown. They are
learning better now, and also that it
is far more honorable and respectable
to sell truck than it is to give crop
mortgage.

Farmers of Brazos County know

Present events are demonstrating
that Richmond Pearson Hobsons
views on the probability OF a war

it will come sooner or later. If not

the present disturbing element, then
over something else that is sure to
develop.
