The split-log drag has made its ap'

The Eagle has long advocated the
use of drags on the streets of Bryan,
but the suggestion fell on deaf ears.
We know the residence streets could
be greatly improved by their use, and
the cheapness of operation is large
factor in their favor. OF course II
would be better II the streets were
graded, but as properly constructed
drag pulls the dirt toward the center
of the street, they would not only give
us smooth streets, but greatly assist

but when it came to substantiating the
right to tote gun the commission
doomed large on the horizon.
II it is a common thing for deputy
sheriffs to be SO optimistic as to the
powers of their commissions, and at
the same time SO ignorant as to the
provisions OF the statutes, it might
be a good idea for them to be given
periodical instruction as to their rights
and privileges under both; for II they
are to be governed by their personal
beliefs and interpretations 1t is easily
imaginable that some of them might
make even more serious mistakes than
merely to tote guns.
The jury does not seem to have
taken kindly to the matter of personal
belief as against the written command
of the law, and in this the jury has
shown itself to be conscientious in the
performance OF public duty.
At all events it has set an example
with reference to gun toters which
other juries would do well to follow
and, whether or not it's verdict is SCI
aside by a higher court, it will have
the satisfaction of knowing that it took
a commendable stand against a prac
tice which has caused untold trouble
in the community and which should
be eliminated no matter what the cost

THE RANSOM VERDICT.

The conviction Of former Chief Of
Police Henry l.. Ransom, who was
found guilty on charge OF unlawfully
carrying q pistol. by jury in the
county court at law Wednesday after.
noon and sentenced to sixty days in
Jail and to pay a fine Of 500, comes
as very concrete and very crafty
ing expression of public sentiment on
the question of promiscuous gun totng.
Ransom pleaded belief that he had
a right to carry pistol because Of his
commission as one of the deputy sher-
ifs OF Fort Bend County, although had
he been as jealous in perusal of the
statutes as he was in toting the gun
he would have experienced little diff
ficulty in discovering that he was ex-
pressly forbidden to do so In any
other county except the one where he
held such commission unless engaged
in official business. 1t is surprising
how ignorant some deputy sheriffs are
on this particular question.
1t would seem from the evidence
that Ransom made but little use Of
his commission except to bolster up
this belief. The records Of Fort Bend
County do not show that he has been
particularly jealous in carrying out
the other duties of a deputy sheriff. In
this particular the commission does
not seem to have amounted to very
much. or to have been considered OF
paramount Importance by its holder,

5 EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

President Wilson and his cabinet must
of necessity be considered. but there
have been official utterances made
during the past fortnight that very
thinly veil the doubt that the United
States will be able to handle the Mex.
lean matter to the satisfaction Of all
concerned. Be it said in justice to
the European powers and to President
Wilson, as well, that there is not the
slightest doubt felt regarding his sin
cerity. 1t is, perhaps, this confidence
in the American chief executive that
has made England, France and Ger
man patient in the matter. 1t is no
breach of confidence to say, however
that 1t will take several more notes
to adjust the controversy to the salts
faction of all the countries interested
and at the same time do justice to
Mexico.
An invention which is expected to
result in a great decrease in mortality

Prof Haber of Berlin, as the result
of an appeal made by the Kaiser to
the scientific society he formed in
1912. In view of recent mine disas-
tiers in Prussia in which scores Of
lives were lost, the emperor asked
scientists to take up the problem Of
finding a method of safeguarding the
lives of those who work underground.

MILLIONS ARE BEING

Herman, Loeb, Philadelphia's Di-
rector of Supplies, has started a
movement in which he is endeavor-
ing to interest the leading Hebrews
of the country seeking to trans
plant the Hebrew population of
Roumania to Texas. Mr.. Loeb, in
explaining his plans, declared that
there are about 100000 Rouma-
MAN Jews, and that all of them
could be brought to Texas in Pc
Rod extending over several months.
II know personally of thousands
of acres of land near railroads in
Texas. This land can be purchas-
ed for a nominal sum by corpora
ton of wealthy Jews of Philadel-
phia and New York, and could be
rented to the Roumanian Jews. Not
only would 1t be philanthropic,
but it would be a business PROPOSE
Nion. The value of the land, after
being under cultivation for a time,
would enhance in value a hundred
fold
Mr.. Loeb explained that 1t Is
nonsense to protest against the
treatment of the Jews in Rouma-
mia, and that the only way to help
them is to bring them to Texas.
1--WE must organize, purchase the
land and see them safely started on
the road to prosperity" said Mr..
: Loeb. eff we don't do that, so per

plan, and that they are prepared to
pledge at least $5.O0O,OOO for the
purchase of the Texas land and the
erection of houses upon it.
