CIVIL GovERNM EMIT.

The following conception of civil
government was set forth by a pupil
in a Vermont school:
The study of civil government
teaches us to be civilized and civil.
1t was discovered by George Wash
ington.
The duties of the President are to
be inaugurated, to preside, to be a
natural-born native and So years old.
A consul is a man who is Obliged
to live in a foreign country.
A prime minister is the husband Of
primate. His power is limited. They
cont have prime ones in the United
States.
The country is run by cawcusses,
where they decide who will execute
and who will be executed.
A Governor is much lower man
than the President and a mayor is
lower still.-Woman's Home Com.

THE LEMON soUEEzERs.

The inhabitants OF a city placed
their city in the hands of certain rep
resentatives, because they were too
busy attending the races and baseball
games to run It themselves.
The representatives turned them
selves into politicians and sold the
franchises to the capitalists.
The capitalists inaugurated sys.
tenn OF transportation, gas, water and
other necessities and made so much
money and gave such poor service
that the people became suspicious.
They therefore appointed a public
service commission to keep tabs on
the capitalists and politicians.
This worked until the p. S, C. be-
came owned by the capitalists and
politicians, and then the people APP
pointed super-public service COM
mission to keep tabs on the ordinary
public service commission.
Then it was found necessary to ap'
point an ideal commission to watch
the super-commission.
And a superlatively super-ideal'
commission to watch the plain-ideal.
commission.
Then there being no further object
IN living in the city, as It had practi-
cally reached its ultimate destiny, the
inhabitants thereof left it, and went
off somewhere else and started an
other city where they could do the
same thing all over again.-Life.

KINGS AT THE JUDGMENT BAR

From a sermon preached by Wash.

great gains gains not sought by any

1t will bring. in the first place, such

SHIPPING COTTON.

The Eagle does not believe the
farmers OF Brazos Coutny will make
anything by shipping their cotton to
Houston, or TO any other market. In
fact. we believe they can get better
prices right here at home. Not only
that, but they are out the freight on
the cotton TO the point where shipped
and also lose control over II and must
take whatever settlement the con-
signee renders.
The following account OF Hous-
ton transaction published in the Gal.
weston News Wednesday. the 10th,
shows the price there in large lots
is not as good as the big deals that
have been made in Bryan. The state
ment OF w. d. Cleveland G. Co., the
arm making the sale. also shows that
nothing is TO be gained by shipping
and does not hold out any inducement
to people in the interior TO ship their
cotton:
Houston, Tex. Sept. 15.-W. d.
Cleveland G. Sons, who yesterday COM
pleted a sale OF 1000 bales OF cotton
TO r. II. Hooper & Sons, exporters. at
a price that averaged a little better
than Sc, middling basis, today gave
out the following statement:
ut is true that we made a sale, but
IL must not be taken as any criterion
OF the market. Today, for example,
We have no demand for cotton. Just
how much cotton the market could alb
sorb at this time is a question, but we
would not want the interior mer.
chants or farmers to get the impress
sion from the fact that we made a
big sale at fairly good price that we
can do the same thing tomorrow, or
the next day. or next week.
THE demand for cotton IS spas

ferent from the ordinary season, when
there is always a steady demand at
some price. We really think that cot.

any farmer to sell for lower price
for the present. Whether conditions
later on will result in lower prices no
one can tell. An early declaration OF
peace would undoubtedly create an
Immediate demand and help maintain

very little actual cash being exchanged

w. B. Bizzell, president of the Col
lege OF Industrial Arts at Denton,
Texas, has been rendered the appoint
ment Of president of the Texas Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, and
it is believed he viii accept. The po-
sition carries with it an annual salary
Of $1,000, which is $1,000 more than is
paid the Governor OF Texas.-El Paso
Times.
Just another case OF the working
out of the law of supply and demand.
Any good Democrat is eligible to be
Governor. Very few men are qualified
to be president of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. 1t costs 100000
to be elected Governor, while the new
president of the A. & NJ. did not spend
as much as the price of a postage
stamp for his job. Think these things
over.-Waco News.
And still another thing to think
over is the fact that DR.. Bizzell is
worth the $4,000 salary.-Denton Rec
ord and Chronicle.
Every word that has yet come from
Denton concerning DIR. Bizzell, his
home for several years, has been high
ly complimentary. II is a safe rule
to Judge a man by what his neighbors
think of him, and applying this rule,
It is shown beyond question the direc-
tors of A. & NJ. made no mistake.

PREACHERS AND MONEY.

A Dallas pastor has been granted a
raise OF salary. Henceforth this Dali
las divine will receive $4,000 year,
and, in addition to his $500 month,
has been granted an allowance OF 800
month for the hire Of a stenographer
and the upkeep Of his automobile.
Some people may think the preacher
is getting too much money, but we
don't Join In the cry. It's no easy job
to keep the Dallasltes in the straight
and narrow path, and no Dallas
preacher ought to be asked TO do the
work at Honey Grove prices.-Honey
Grove Signal.
For many years the idea prevailed
in this country that there was abso-
lutely no connection between a
preacher and money. That they were
and OF right should be. total strangers.
That, with many other antlquated and
senseless ideas. however. has gone to
the scrap heap and everybody now
recognizes the fact that preacher
needs money the same as other peo-
pie. Not only that. but the idea is
gaining ground that they are entitled
TO good salaries even as the merchant,
the banker, the lawyer and all others.
This thing of a preacher living on
wind and water is just another of the
old superstitlons we are growing out
of and the world is waking up to the
fact that preachers are entitled to all
they get and often to a great deal
more.

Hundreds of thousands Of German
soldiers hearten up for the fray with
a song becoming known the world
over, 1.-The Watch on the Rhine"
Germany has two national songs,
one in praise of the Kaiser and one
for the Fatherland. The latter known
as "The Watch on the Rhine" was
composed by an obscure poet, Max
Schneckenburger, who was a mer-
chant of the town of Tuttlingen on
the left shore of the Rhine. The
hymn was written in 1910 and came
out of the pen of a patriotic youth
of Fl. Schneckenburger died in 1849
and from the accounts given of him
by his widow, the distinctive feature
of his character was patriotic fervor,
which found it's earliest expression in
his choice Of a motto, 'Deutsch' in his
school-bod days, and later in the senti-
ment of Die Wacht am Rhein' The
song celebrates the glory of the ma
jestic river and the jealous care the
Germans have taken to keep the
enemy from soiling it's shores. The
music was composed by Karl Wilhelm,
an obscure German composer in 1870.

dolf Eucl1en, professor at Jena. Thousands
believe the greatest living scientist is Ernest
Haeckel. Of the same university And it may
almost be said the Germans have created modern
theology. Adolph Hamack, the worlds theologi-
cal leader, is German. The history Of music tells
a similar tale for it was these same wonderful
people who created music.
OF native born Germans there are now in this
country more than million, three-fourths of
whom are naturalized. They are, as German
immigrants have always been, of the highest
type of citizenship In business and in the
learned professions none take higher rank.
Indeed it may be said that one chief cause
for the lack of sympathy with Germany in the
war is that it endangers Germany's ability to
continue her service to the world in the great de-
partments of life. If it is true that the present
struggle was launched by the autocratic circle in
Prussia; that ruling clique will have as much to
answer for in destroying the greatness of Ger
many as in their attempt to wreck the structure
of modern civilization.

Respect for the Germans

Industriallv and economically the United
States ia 40 identified with France and Germany,
it will be disastrous to own commerce it these
two countries are defeated in the present war.
Americans cannot help but feel that one of the
great issues in the struggle is popular govern
ment If Germany is victorious, an attempt will
be made to Prussianize Europe, which will deter
the progress of democracy many years. The
racial bond that unites US to England naturally
prejudices us in favor of the Triple Entente.
For these reasons (and others) the people of
this country as whole, to judge from the atti-
tude of the press, are strongly in sympathy with
the French and English.
But this is not to signify that American re-
gard for the Germans is one whit diminished.
Never was there more widespread admiration
of the skill and character of the German people
than now.
In many ways the Germans are world lead
ers. They have developed technical and voca-
tional education to such an extent an unskilled
or uneducated man is becoming rarity in the
Kaiser's empire. These educational achieve
ments have been an inspiration and guide to
every other nation.
In scientific research work they are SUI
preme DR.. Chas. P. Emerson, dean of the Ind
lana University School of Medicine made state
ment in Indianapolis recently to the effect that
the paralysis of scientific work caused by the
war will cost more lives than shot and SHE'LL
The Germans have likewise made brilliant
record in social and economic reforms. In hand
ling the problems of pauperism, unemployment,
old age, disease and industrial accidents, they
have set pace no other nation has been able to
equal. To characterize German economic reform
it is only necessary to say she has been the first
to tax unearned increment.
Perhaps it has been in philosophy, theology
and art that Germany has reached her highest
mark. One needs but to run down the list of the
great philosophers to discover how many are
German. Fichte, Hegel, the Schlegels, Kant,
Schopenhauer- are but few of the men
that have done the worlds thinking The great
