jobs, according to United States Con-

from Monterey to Consul Garrett, in

THE TEXAS STATE FAIR.

is not only progressing in fine shape,
but all heads of departments, includ-
ing directors and secretary, are work
ing overtime in rounding up every
thing in fine shape for the opening
OF the best OF all fairs and expositions
ever held In Texas.
r. A. Ferris, as director OF the
agricultural exhibits, declares that
fine progress is being made as to en-

with increased premiums aggregatng

every one of our readers can rest as
sured that the State Fair for 1914 is
going to be some fair.
In the individual exhibits of farm
products, some very attractive dis
plays may be looked for, as the pre-

THE WAY TO PERMANENT PEACE

The professors in the colleges are
writing papers on how to secure the
worlds peace.
They mean well, do these profess
sors. and we honor them for their EVIL
dent desire to bring on the time when
Nation shall no more war against Ma
ton.
But the trouble with the argument
they make is In the assumption that
the present arrangement is permanent
in other words, that the various
monarchIes will go on as heretofore.
William Marion Reedy thus writes
in his paper. Reedy's Mirror:

HOW CAN THE FARMERS GET
Relief

There seems to be prevailing
sentiment among the members of-the
National Farmers Union, now In SEES
sion in Fort Worth, that the National
government should come TO the aid
Of the farmers OF the country and
make them loans direct upon their
cotton. In the first days proceedings
different speakers advanced ideas
along this line as follows:
L. NJ. Rhodes Of Huntington, Tenn,
chairman Of the National board OF d.
rectors and president of the Tonnes
see State Union, who responded to the
address of welcome on behalf OF the
Texas Union, which was delivered by
President W. d. Lewis, was cheered
to the echo. when he declared that
the only way TO solve the cotton sit
uation is for the government TO "come
across"
"They can talk all they want to
about credit" he said, but what we
need is the cash. There is plenty Of
money in the National treasury in re-
serve funds We are going TO have
some OF that money In this crisis or
vacate the capital at Washington"
Similar sentiments expressed by Cy'
, clone Davis. recently nominated as
Congressman at Large from Texas
received an equally enthusiastic re
Spouse. f
The Eagle believes the Nationa
government should do everything
within reason to relieve the presen
situation. by which we mean in fur
nishing money TO be loaned the farm
ers on their cotton 70 avoid the neces
sity OF sacrificing IT, We do not be
lieve. however the government shoul
undertake to make loans to the ind
yiduai farmer. This would involy
endless detail and in the end produc
a state OF confusion worse than tina
which now exists.
The money should be loaned by tn
government to the banks and by tn
banks loaned to the farmers. Tb
bankers and farmers Of each localit
know each other, know all the cond
lions and circumstances, and for tn
reason the relief needed could /
supplied through the banks in Il
more satisfactory manner.
The plan to be worked out, al
upon which the whole country is e
gagged. is the manner and upon VIII
security the government can maj
the loans to the banks.

To Reduce Fire Risk.

zone OF the most effective means of
fire escape for New York has never
been used here" said one Of the big |
men in the uniformed division Of the !
fire department. THAT is the bridge
TO connect the upper floors OF neigh
boring buildings, and the continuing
balcony connecting the window levels
Of adjoining buildings. These steel
bridges and balconies have been tried
in the closely built part of some cities
and In the few instances where fires
have brought them into use they have
proved very valuable. In downtown
New York, and uptown, too, for that
matter, there are thousands of build
ings whose stories above the third
floor might be connected with bridges
that would give to each building all
the exit facilities of both, for 1t would
be Nrare indeed for two adjoining
buildings to take fire at once. In
apartment house buildings ornamental
balconies might be built. II that sys-
tenn we're in vogue" concluded the
fireman, you'd read no more stories
OF brave firemen going up on scaling
ladders to save shrieking tenants from
windows out of which smoke was bill
lowing The tenant would merely
step out upon the balcony and walk
in the opposite direction from the fire
till he came to an unimpeded stairway
to the street or an open window into
another house."

The Eagle does not believe there
will be any enforced collections If
thorough understanding is maintained
between the farmer and the merchant.
Let the farmer turn his cotton over
to the merchant with the understand
ing 1t is to be held until conditions
change and the cotton market is re.
stored. This course win protect both
farmer and merchant and at the same
time prevent the sacrifice of the cot
ton. To accomplish this, however.
the farmer who is in debt and the
merchant or bank holding his account
must thoroughly understand each
other.
