THE railroads of tile eastern territory
are seeking TO increase their revenues by
raising passenger rates and redu,ing the
number OF passenger trains. The first
OF November mileage books were in
creased from $40 10 81 80, and now there
is 10 oe an advance in The pnce OF COM
muter'S tickets, with general with
drawal OF round-trip rates and all other
favors that have beer allowed the travel
ing public.
In our opinion this is mighty poor
way TO secure business and increase
profits.
What would we think OF the merchant
who, when business was poor, would
seek to improve conditions oy Charging
more for his goods than the very fair
profit he had been receiving all along,
and al The same time curtaIling his fdcIl-
ities2 Would his customers feel in a
pleasant frame OF mind if he should re-
duce his stock and make them pay more
for poorer quality Of goods, simply be-
cause times were bit dull ?
The railroads are showing poor iudg-
nient in the way they are handling the
present situation. BY the stupid process
of increasing rates and curtailIng accom-
modations they practically confess their
incompetence to meet an emergency
The sensible way 10 increase revenues
would b. to offer inducements to the
people to travel and Till the trains that
now run half empty. II wouldn't be a
bad idea for them TO offer bargain days
in transportation, somewhat after the
manner OF department store managers
who have gumption enough to advertise
properly and tide over llcklsh times.
Railroad managers in these days are
out OF touch with the people. and they
are narrow and uninformed concerning
many things that they ought to know
Isn't there one real live, wideawake,
enter prising man in the railroad service
who Can originate something new in
methods that will appeal to the public and
bring results to the railroads

THE war in Europe is made the occa-
siol for a strong movement in favor OF
an enlarged navy for the United States,
and the construction OF number OF cost
ly battleships is urged by those who want
10 prepare for war. Recent events have
shown that big oattleships are very poor
investment-as witness the Obstruction OF
the British vessel, Audacious, which cost
some$l0 100000 by an insignificant little
submarine. Its acknowledged that Eng
land has by long odds the most powertu'
navy in the world, and yet up to this
time her ships have accomplished prac'
tically nothing against the German YES
sells. On the contrary, German suomd-
rines and mines have destroyed ship after
ship OF the English fleet. causing fearful
losses. In these days of submarines and
torpedoes and floating mines, the con-
strncuon OF dreadnoughtS seem to be a
waste OF money.

New Irrigation Field Located.

Washington, May 15.-The great
valley Of the Mimbres river near DEM
ing, N. NJ, is the latest irrigation
field, according to an announcement
by the United States Geological Sur
vey today. Windmills dotting the
landscape give the casual observer
the only clue to the water supply, and
the fruitfulness of this region. But
the survey has been investigating that
territory, and it finds that the vast
deposits of sand and gravel under
lying the region contain vast quanti-
ties Of water This is pumped to the
surface by the huge windmills. AL
ready there has been rush of set
tiers to the valley and the survey is
issuing information to prospective
on request.

Housewives Buy by Weight.

Columbus, o., May 15.-Ohio house
wives now are assured of getting just
what they pay for. Beginning today
the State Agricultural Commission
will enforce the law requiring that all
packages of food must be marked with
accurate net weights. Violators will
be prosecuted. The greatest abuse
state officials say, is in the pack
ing of lard. A weight is stamped
upon the can, but it does not specify
whether it is net or gross. Retail
ers nave endorsed the law. They have
written Commissioner Strobe telling
him that sales by weight are far
more satisfactory than by measure.
They declare customers are better sat
isfied and clerks save time.

TENT CITY PREPARES
FOR A BIG CROWD

San Diego, May 15.-The Tent City
office at Coronado Beach presents an
appearance daily now that strongly
resembles scenes usually enacted a..
a theatre box office prior to the COM
ing of a long-looked-for play or a
popular star. Manager Cheney, who
has been putting in hard licks all win
ter and spring in completing arrange
ments for the entertainment and COM
fort of patrons of the resort during
the coming season, had anticipated q
Sunday holiday or possibly two prior
to the opening on June 1. He ex-
pected last Sunday to be one of them
and his plans were made for short
ocean trip in the new launch Glori-
eta and later spin in his auto over
the newly finished beach boulevard
from Tent City to Tia Juana, when
a hurry call on the phone brought
him to the office. Before noon it
was decided that Sundays Off for
Cheney and his corps of assistants
would be postponed until late in the
fall. Hundreds of people from San
Diego and many from outside towns
called at Tent City office Sunday and
spent a good part of the day on the
beach and in the surf, after choosing
their favorite tent house or palm cot
tage. Others took advantage of the
ideal conditions for boating, and the
row and sail boats of the Coronado
Boat House had their first big day of
the year.
This week will see all of the 600
tents, tent houses and palm cottages
in complete readiness for occupancy.
The distinction of being the pioneer
guest at Tent City for the present
wear belongs to Mrs. R. G. Szmidt
Of Denver, Colo, who, in company
with her little boy, engaged quarters
for the entire season last week and
has already moved in. Cheney has
been importuned day after day by peo-
pie who are anxious to take up quar-
ters at the resort to hurry up and
open Tent City,"
According to Director Of Amuse
ments Getz there will be an abun-
dance of entertainment for old and
young this year in addition to the
daily concerts by Chiaffarelli and his
ROYAL Italian Band. Various water
pageants will take place on the bay
and gala days, the first of which will
be the Y. NJ. c. A. Circus Day, short
ly after the opening, and special
weekly celebrations will follow with
frequent regularity.

negroes. There is nothing to it. Not
enough will go that you can miss
them, and they that go will be back
in a year. The first thing we remem-
Der was the report that the Jews were
flocking back to Jerusalem, but like
Abou Ben Adhem, their tribe is still

sung the praises of the Back to the

SECRETARY HEWITT WILL RESIGN

After four years as secretary of the
Bryan Commercial Club Mr.. L. "
Hewitt today gave out the statement
that he would resign this important
position, which is to become effective
in April at the annual meeting.
The Eagle is not unmindful of waht
has been accomplished in the four
years of commercial organization of
the citizens of Bryan and proper credit
is due the man that has led the cam
paign for a bigger and better Bryan
who has untiringly devoted his time
to the welfare of the city, ready to go
and do at the call of any member.
At the beginning Of the work as
commercial secretary the compensa.
ton was not large. in fact the pay
received was very paltry sum, but
Mr.. Hewitt was on the job and his
energy and untiring efforts were in
evidence then as in the last years
when the salary was more than
doubled.
We feel that the citizens have not
appreciated the services of this man
as they should have done. Those
working closest to him in the club
know the difficulties of the work, and
in them will be found his best friends.
With a sober mind and a steady

President Mezes has tabooed all
political clubs on the University
campus. That, however, will hardly
deter some of the young men who take
deep interest in matters political,
AS rule, University students become
good politicians, whether or not they
be self-seeking. Associations in col
lege tend to make men likeable and
successful politicians must be likeable.
Austin Statesman.
Political clubs are not at all neces-
sary on the University campus. They
learn politics there all right, evidenced
by the fact that when they leave
school they take to politics as natural
ly as a duck does to water. Half the
offices in Texas, from the Legislature
down. are held by former University
students.
