TO HELP THE WOUNDED.

The womens clubs OF New York
City have already begun to discuss
methods OF relieving the suffering OF
those wounded in the great European
war, or of helping the families OF sol
diers who have been killed. Assist
ance will be extended to all alike, thus
preserving the spirit OF neutrality of
this country. and whatever funds are
contributed will be spent through the
Red Cross Society Hundreds of
thousands of women in this country
have near ties of blood and friendship
at the various scenes OF battle, and
they are not only willing, but anxious
to help the suffering.

CALL TO HELP KING COTTON.

Editor Eagle:
Business men and farmers have no
clear means at hand for financing the
cotton crop of 1914 in the face Of this
war situation. There has been no
concert of action in the cotton grow
ing counties of Texas and cotton Is
seeking a market at any price. In
many cases no offers are made for
cotton seed. In the face Of these con-
ditions county mass meetings are
hereby called to be held next week
to take positive action in saving Texas
from enormous damage. In 1904 we
faced bankrupt prices for our cotton,
and the entire South rose up, Texas
leading, and with the support and CO.
operation of all classes, lifted the
price from six cents to ten cents and
better in the face of strong opposition.
Credit was extended where needed
and deserved and that entire cotton
crop was saved. If Texas will move
now the whole South will follow the
lead of her four million bales.
Congress has provided for an addi'
ton of s60,OOO,OOO in currency to be
used in Texas for just such emergen'
cies, but we need to know how to use
It and desire to secure this help be-
fore the market for lint and seed
breaks down. Under natural trade
conditions rs per cent of the Texas
crop is exported.
Knowing how the fight for better
cotton prices was won in 1904-5 and
realizing the urgent need for action

WHICH SHALL IT BE.

No question is ever settled until 1t
is settled right. And the burning ques-
ton in Brazos County today is the
question Of good roads. What are we
going to do about II? Two courses
of action are open to us. We can
meet the issue squarely and settle 1t
once for all by voting a liberal bond
issue and building permanent high
ways, or we can shirk the task and
remain stuck in the mud.
Which shall II be?

1T will not do to say that the gov

ers will not pay It, nor will the i'm.

average citizen, the man who bears

1T would have been quite possible
TO eliminate every vestige OF extrava.

and It was a party pledge to do so,
but SO far no time has been found for
this task.
1T is to be hoped that the Demo

expires to tighten the tax burdens

be well worth while TO redeem that

The project was not altogether m

designed to recognize noisy discomfort
and dissatisfaction with the more or

Altogether some 0fty subscriptions
were received. They aggregated $751;
$4,000. the prices ranging from ~
to above SO. Everything below SO
had to be thrown out ON account Of

but something like nve-sixths Of the
total amount was bid for III excess Ut
the upset figure. Outstanding bonds
OF the same issue had been selling In
the market around SO. The new Of
fering went ut an average Of SS.Oi37,

market price for Its bonds In the public
sale. As we have said. Mr. WHIT

Practically oil the small bidders fixed

took 81 100000. and still another $780,.

bankers who subscribed for large
amounts was high enough to have
taken the whole issue ut only n shade
below the average price Of the actual
award.
Accordingly II is hardly debatabie that
what The Third Avenue experiment
really shows Is that II may sometimes

to give the company just as much for
the bonds at private sale as they paid
publicly. At all events this particular
experiment is anything but conclusive

Of corporate securities.
However, the results Of the sale are
likely to compel imitation. In these

now exists for generalizing about the

Medical Ethics Strained.

The public is apt to be misled by the
apparent differences now and then aris-
ing among physicians upon the subject
Of so-called medical ethics. fearfully
and wonderfully made In the view VI
the modern doctor who finds himself
amid conditions differing totally from
those existing hundred years ago
when the code OF ethics Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association was formed
and promulgated as the book OF ell
0uette for the guidance OF the physi-
clan who wanted to be regarded A.
regular.
The most important provision 10 Tar
a. the doctors own interests were con-
cerned was that no physician should
consult with another whose practice
was not ba sed upon ana tony and phys
iology. &C.; In other words, who was
not scientifically educated. ON this
ground the various cults like the e.
lectics. homeopathic, &c, were banned.
The time came, however, when these
recalcitrants did receive the same thor
ough training In anatomy and physiol-
ogy, and differed only as TO treatment.
So ingrained was the prejudice that II
brought about split In the County
Medical Society when men like Al
FnED LOOMS, ABRAHAM jacob. For
pYcr BARKER and other enlightened
members Of the faculty dared to con-
strue the code literally and consult
with homGopaths.
Another clause of the code provided
against advertising directly by private
clinics or otherwise, especially In the
newspapers. Convictions on the viola.
tion Of this clause are indeed rare In
the records OF the society, but the
clause appears to have had whole
some effect In preventing such undig-
nifed proceedings.
The public has been misled into the
belief that this code which exncted
such punctilious regard for the family
physicians interests was really detri'
mental to the patients interests. The
fact Is quite the reverse, as expert
enced persons know.
The present exploitation Of medical
matters In the press often brings the
public spirited doctor into unconscious
conflict with this advertising clause OF
the code. lie must decline to obey the
behest Of the code to instruct the pub
lic on sanitation II he would not lny
himself liable to criticism. When q
hospital clinic offers to promote the
use OF remedy regarded as successful
by giving 1t publicity, It appears a
