PRISON STRIPES ARE GONE.
Copyright Hart sehaiinsr 4 Man

The prisoners in the penitentiary on
Blackwell's Island have discarded
their suits of stripes for neat, and
equally durable trousers and jumpers
Of blue. This innovation is the result
OF Correction Commissioner Katherine
B. Davis's policy to eliminate as far
as possible. all prison marks on cloth
ing. The striped suits, which for
years have been the badge OF those
sent to the island, have been relegated
to the past for the psychological ef-
feet. The Commissioner believes that
a man should not be constantly re-
minded by the clothing he wears that
he has committed a crime and is be-
yond the pale of the law. In helping
them to regain their self.respect, her

Colonel Alba Haywood, pioneer oil
man at Spindle Top. and In the Jenn-
ings oil field, has become a pioneer
in new field. He has successfully
organized the truck farmers OF the
lower Rio Grande Valley into what has
been named the unit marketing sys-
tenn, a cooperative association Of
truck farmers who sell their produce
through one head. II Is TO be hoped
that his new leadership will be more
productive OF profit TO his followers
than was "Swlndle Top."-Dallas
Democrat.
The unit marketing system, or sell
ing through one head, is a very impor-
tant matter Just now when the whole
country is considering the
question OF diversificatlon. The unit
marketing system is the only plan In
which the farmers can make dlyerslfl-
cation pay. II is the only way in
which prices can be established and
maintained Each farmer trying to
sell for himself without knowing what
his nelghbor is doing, will produce
confusion and bring disaster TO the
movement

FRUITS OF DEMOCRACY.

Today the fruits OF President VII
sons administration, not yet year
and six months old, are piled high be-
fore us. We were warned that the
passage Of the tariff act. which was Its
first conspicuous achievement, would
flood American markets with foreign
goods. but the import statistics OF the
first nine months OF It's operation,
show that the normal annual increase
OF our import trade has not been
equalled under the new tariff. 4 We
are about TO put into operation a bank
ing law acclaimed by the financial
wisdom OF this country and Europe.
Our national good faith has been YIN
dicated in the eyes of all tile great CIR.
rying nations Of the world by the re.
peal of the Canal tolls exemption act
Our relations with South America
have been brought TO the best condl-
ton they have presented since. the
Mexican War And now with all Ell.
rope ablaze with war, the United
States, thanks TO Woodrow Wilson's
good sense, wide sympathies. political
tact and colossal indifference TO de-
traction and criticism when serving
his nation as God has given wisdom to
serve, is at peace with all mankind
and ready to serve the world with
trade and treasure, with food and i'm
plements of work, as only mighty
nation at peace can serve q world,
broken and distracted and panic
stricken by war.
Some men have TO wait until they
are dead before the quality OF their
public service appears To Woodrow
Wilson's countrymen has been given
the wisdom OF the value 81 his work
while he is yet alive. We cannot heal
the grief which is his portion. but, in
view of the harvest Of his labor which
is before us, the least that we can say
is the word: well done" We can al
least join our wishes and our prayers
that the sense of work faithfully
wrought may nerve his hand and brain
for the tasks which still confront
him. and that. with all the weight Of
his personal griefs, something of the
deep joy o the reaper among the gar
nered sheaves may be his in these au
tumn days.-St Louis Republic.

OUR VENERABLE GOVERNMENT.

A young Austrian said to me a few
days ago: Germany will not become a
republic, even If this war brushes her.
Her kaiser's family has 200 years OF
rule behind II and the people want
him."
The Hohenzollerns have 200 years
of rule in Prussia, but the German i'm
perial government is only forty-four
years old. other parts Of Germany
might outvote Prussia in forming a
republic.
It may astonish you to note how few
countries have an older government
than the United States. Our land may
be new, but the government is one of
the most venerable on earth.
China's republic is a baby, but a
few years old. Japan's present re-
gime dates back forty-five years. It.
aly's kingdom is about the same age,
and Portugal's republic has been in
existence less than a decade
Turkeys constitutional govern
ment, which came with a new sultan,
and Persia's government, are also po-
litical infants.
The French republic is no older than
the German empire, and the revolution
that split Norway and Sweden hap
pened since Cuba became free.

TEXAS RICH IN MINERALS.

Texas is rich in minerals. Her un.
derground wealth is far greater than
nine-tenths of the people imagine and
the. following figures on the subject
are given for the benefit of the Eagle
readers:
Texas ranks third in quicksilver
output 1t is the largest Of all states
in area, fifth in the number of inhabi-
tants and ranks nineteenth in the val
ne of its productions.
Since the sensational strike in Beau
mont in 1901, petroleum has had first
place in the mineral production of the
state and Texas now ranks fourth
among all the states in the quantity of
petroleum produced and seventh with
respect to the value of the product.
The production increased from 1885,
057 barrels, valued at SS,S52,713 in
1912, to 15,O99,47S barrels, valued at
$14,675,59S, in 1918. The possibilities
for oil development are widely scat
tered over Texas, and the chances for
further extension are therefore excel
lent.
Second in importance among the
mineral products of Texas, reckoned
by the value of the output, is coal, in
Guiding the Ignite or brown coal, the
combined production of which amount
ed in 1913 to 2,249,144 short tons, val
ued at s4,2SS,92O, against 2,1SS,612
short tons, valued at 1855, 744 in 1912.
Texas is the only state in the union
that produces considerable quantities
of both bituminous coal and true lig-
mite or brown COAL
The value of the natural gas pro-
duced also showed substantial in
crease, amounting to $2,073,S23,
against $1,4O5,O77 in 1912. The as
phalt produced in Texas, which is
principally residue obtained from the
heavy asphaltic oils, amounted to
122,O26 short tons in 1918, valued at
$1,97O,S54. In addition to this small
quantity of natural asphalt was pro
duced.
Texas is fifth larger than Germa-
ny. Germany supports 66,OOo,OOO peo-
pie. Texas has 100000. Fifty years
hence it should have 5O,OOO,OOO.

INTERuRBAN BREAKDOWN.
Work Of Eleetrifieatlon Progressing
Slowly As Material Arrives.

One of the axles OF the car operating
on the Bryan-College Interurban was
broken Sunday and there was no SER
vice over the road until noon today
when the break was repaired and SER
vice resumed.
The electriflcatlon Of the road is re
ported by the officials to be progress
ing slowly, as the material is slow in
arriving. The engine and generators
for the power plant were unloaded to-
day and will be installed at once on
the concrete foundations which were
recently completed. The trolly wires
and other material are expected TO
arrive daily and the work of electrifi-
cation will be pushed as rapidly as
possible so as to have everything In
working order by the arrival OF the
cars on December LIST.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER Q, 1914.
To the Public:

To the Public;
Your attention is called to the fact
that Governor ColQultt has issued a
proclamation designating October Q,
1914, as Fire Prevention Day" in
Texas. This day is to be observed
by general cleanup programs. On this
day all citizens OF this state are urged
to clear their premises Of the fire haz-
ards. The suggestion is made that
the fire prevention campaign should
be started at once and that the work
should cover everything In buildings,
from cellar TO roof and extend to ev-
cry corner Of yards and alleys. II
Is in filth and refuse materials that so
many fires originate. Examine your
flues and chimneys carefully.l Have
them cleaned and placed in order for
the coming winter season and save
work and trouble for the fire depart
ment. We contend that the everyday
fire breeding defects can be corrected
and that every citizen owes II to his
neIghbor. as well as to himself to
guard in every possible way against the
probability OF fire.
