Gee, but you're looking fine"
said Dick as his eyes wandered
over my face.
We were sitting alone at our
table. Aunt Mary, bless her heart,
semed to know that 1t was best
for us to be alone on this, our
first meal after our quarrel, and
had made an excuse that she was
bit tired and was going to have
her dinner in her room.
well, you see, Dick" | smiled
at him, 81 have had about five
dollars worth of identifying done
today and | am glad you appreci-
ate the fact"
Dicks face rather fell. 81 don't
think you need identifying, Mar
gie," he said.
Eyes, | do quite as much as
you need shave and hair cut
occasionally. OF course, Dicky,
/ know that men like to think
that the women they have pick
ed are blessed of the gods and
are superlatively lovely by gift of
nature and will stay SO to the
end of time; but IL you stop to
think about IL your common
sense will tell you how foolish
the idea is.
81 look we'll In your eyes to-
night for two reasons: One Is
that | have been attended and
groomed to the last particular
and made as perfect physically as
Is possible with my imperfections;
the other reason of my good looks
In your eyes is that i am a new
woman to you tonight.
when you left me this morn
ing you left a woman that you
nearly hated and when you re-
turned tonight you looked for
and found the woman you loved,
and the one we love is always
beautiful"
We'll, Mrs. Woman-I-Love,
what do you say to visit to the
theater and little jamboree all
by our lonelies?"
I'D love it, Dick, IL you will
let 1t be my party"
What do you mean by your
party?"
Let me pay the bills"
Nonsense, my dear; IL pay
when l take a lady out"
Now look here, Dick. let's
have this thing understood: There
are lots of times when l would
like to go to the theater IL you
would escort me and let me buy
the tickets and l think We would
both enjoy 1t IL we could come to
some kind of working basis on
who should pay for our amuse-
ments."
"I'll tell you what, Margie; II
don't like to go about with you
and have you pay the bills"
TITS only prejudice, my dear
boy; you see you still have that
woman bee in your bonnet-'a
woman must be waited upon,' "a
woman must be protected "a
woman must never pay out money
for man. Dicky dear, let's
don't call me a woman or you q
man-let's call ourselves part
ners and see what we can do.
When l invite you to the theater
or to dinner it's up to me to pay
for It."

Newlands answered that 1t was desir-
able to give the commission all the
freedom from the courts that could be
given in a constitutional way.
The Nevada senator's statement
was a reminder that administrative
control can not deprive any one whose

for standpatters to intimate that eff.

usurp the proper functions OF the

controlling bodies. That, in general,

There has been no apparent friction

with kindred lawsuits within the scope

AS Senator Newlands points out, the

announced he would put out approx

ready to increase the amount to any

The secretary's estimate of what
would be needed is based on replies
from 5000 national banks to a recent
treasury department circular asking
whether any unusual demand for
money was expected this year and for
what purposes. Last year the depart
ment inaugurated the custom of dis
tributing funds In the crop handling

the 100000 Secretary Meade had
decided to use for the purpose.
Among the cities whose national
banks indicated their desire for crop

ton, San Antonio and Houston.
The statement announces that the
rate to be charged on money will be
per cent per annum. The security
required from banks securing FUNDS
Is identical. and II is declared that
Secretary McAdoo will not require, al
he did last year. that 10 per cent Of
the deposits shall be secuered by gov

TEXAS HAS FEW MINE Accl.
DENTS.

Jacksboro, Texas, July 2S.-Texas
has fewer coal mine accidents than
any other state in the Union, and dur
ing last years operations, only two
fatalities were recorded, as compared
with eight fatal accidents for the year
previous. Each year approximately
$500 coal miners meet with violent
death in the United States while on
duty.
In 1910 there were 2,S40 coal mine
fatalities in the United States, 1918
in 1911 and 1850 in 1912. The death
rate per 1000 men employed has de-
creased from 4 to during the past
three years.
The coal mine owners and workers
of Texas have led the nation in the
inauguration of safety First" cam
paigns and to their efforts much credit
is due for the reduction of hazards of
coal mining in this State.

MY OPINION.

In yesterdays Eagle the question
was asked. "Does REORGANIZATION OF
Ferguson. an anti, ana the defeat Of
submission mean that the people want
Legislative peace and political rest?"
l understand this to be an open ques-
ton, and desire briefly to register my
own opinion. To me the election is.
decisive for nothing only that Mr.. Fer
guson will be our next governor. II
is the temporary success Of the most
vicious and corrupt political methods
ever practiced among the lberty-lovlng
Texas people. To make any satIsfac-
tory estimate OF the meaning OF the
vote. the personnel OF the voters must
be considered. We need not 30 outside
OF Bryan to begin such study. Balls
majority In the two boxes combined is
more than one hundred. Compare
these voters religiously, morally. intel
! lectually, socially and financially and
every one knows which ,ide viii suffer
In the comparison. The balance OF
power in this election was with the
unamericanized foreigner. He is ig-
norant OF American principles and Ism
guage. His prejudices are easily
aroused and is the easy prey OF the UNI
scruprlous. This vote went all but
solid for the winning candidate. The
Mexican vote alone in Texas makes up
more than Mr.. Ferguson's majority.
Aside from the foreigner. there is a
great class whose financial interests
are all in the liquor traffic. These
naturally voted to sustain their bust
ness. There Is also farmer vote
that was secured by the sophlstries.
and to me, falsehoods of the winning
candidate. But we need to remember
that the battle is not over and cannot
be untnl the liquor traffic is banished
from onr fair State. The election is q
ringing call for a larger intelligence
concerning the liquor evil and quick
ened conscience. 1t is call to raise
a generation Of boys who will pledge
at their mothers knee eternal hatred
and warfare against king alcohol TIL
he is forever dethroned."

FIRE PREVENTION.
(By S. w. English. Austin, Texas,
State Fire Marshal)

1t has been we'll said that las the
fire waste is, so must the insurance
tax be-" A burned city cannot re-
place itself. neither can an insurance
company replace lost property. In
surance acts as a distributor OF funds
that come from the pockets of the
people and II is OF much importance
that our citizenship, both private and
official. take notice of the vast loss
brought about by the destruction OF
property by fire in this State.
No one will be found to question
the statement that the annual fire loss
OF some $1O,OOO.0OO in Texas is a pub
lie reproach. The trouble Is that
while we feel and know the situation,
we are inclined to submit in a help
less sort of way and have rather con-
tented ourselves in the belief that all
of these values have gone up in smoke
as the natural result of conditions
due to our comparative newness and
rapid growth as a state.
It is the duty of organized society
TO protect the individual citizen
against himself, as well as to safe
guard his life, his rights and his prop

All this talk about indorsing or not
indorsing the national administration
at FL Paso is pure de rot. Not one
single soul has entertained for a mo-
ment any other idea but that the Will
son administration would be heartily
indorsed. The row has been raised
because Joe Bailey is against the free
raw material feature of the national
tariff bill. In other respects he is in
perfect accord with President Wilson
Morris Sheppard and President Wilson
hold opposing views on nationwide
prohibition and nationwide woman
suffrage, yet never a word is said
