TAX EATERS MULTIPLY.

For some time the Eagle has ex.
plotted the pernicious system in
vogue In all our governments. federal.
State. county and municipal, by which
the horde OF needless office holders,
end needless commissions is ever
growing larger and larger. Senti-
ment against tits system IL crystaliz-
ing the country over and II Is being
discuss a and condemned through the
press everywhere. The following Is
an editorial expression on the subject
from the Galveston News:
Five members OF the legislature
resigned the other day, one Of them
to accept appointment as a district
Judge and four TO accept employment
in administrative departments Of the
State government. Almost on the
day that these designations were an
nounced came news that a clerk In
the State department had resigned to
accept q newly created place In the
State warehouse department. and that
the Secretary OF State had filed a
place In his department created by
the recent session Of the legislature.
A day OF two previously dispatch
from Austin announced the addition
Of three or four men to the stan Of
the pure food department. made nee.
essary by the act regulating dish
washing In restaurants.
Thus does government ramify itself
and add TO the burdens borne by the
taxpayers. Steadily is the army OF
taxeaters recruited. The process has

eral. State, county and municipal gov.
ernments until one half OF the coun.
try's population viii be engaged in
regulating the lives OF the other half,
and at the expense Of the regulated
half. II will get so that one will so
through life attended every moment
Of his waking hours by some one else
whose sole duty II win be to tell him
what he may do and how he must do
the few things he Is permitted to d..
II Is not merely the expense that
one has to complain Of. but even more
the steady abridgement OF ones free
dom to think and act for oneself. Per.
haps the directest and most econo-
mical method of accomplishing the
end would be to appoint an individ-
ual guardian for every citizen to
guide him through the mazes Of the
law"

II Is all right for the citizen to take
the position that he will not vote for
any amendment to the constitution
which he does not understand. But
there Is no excuse for the dullest
man In Texas not TO be informed with
reference TO the amendment to be
voted on the oath Of July. providing
for the complete separation OF the
A. 4 NJ. College from the University.
Every democratic convention in mod.
ern times. both republican conven.
lions IN 1914. and every Farmers
Congress during the last decade al.

LANpLoRpIsM AND THE SINGLE
TAX.

A man may be al the same time a
landlord. a tenant. a fiddler and
trapese performer. Landlordism IL
an institution. and no Single Taxer
ever claimed II to be a peculiar spe-
cies OF human being. To be land
lord is to assume n certain relation
to the community. Whatever else the
same individual may be hasn't the
least thing TO do with the land ques-
ton. No landlord. as such. ever paid
any taxes. To the extent that a man
acts as the intermediary OF a tenant;
for taxes are simply the lesser part
OF economic rent. the greater part
being annexed" by the landlord.
To appropriate ground rent and to OBJ
struct industry are the only func-
tons OF the landlord. as TO any use.
fulness that may be attributed TO
him, every land title In the United
States may as well be vested in my
pet cat.
Economic rent is what every ten
ant must pay for natural or oommu-
nal advantage who occupies any but
the poorest land in use. To tell a
Single Taxer that there is cheap land
is carrying Goals TO Newcastle. for
one OF the fundamental facts Of his
system Of economies is that there
is always land in use bearing no rent
Tor price,. but yielding and largely
determining wages.
What the Single Taxer desires 10
do is not TO force labor upon the
cheap land and thus further depress
wages. but TO force the best land into
use and thereby raise wages. Every
foot OF good land that is held Idle
forces labor down to inferior land
and lower scale Of production and
wages.-Hugh Mainly In Philadelphia

Social Needs Imperative.


The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity of providing entertain
ment, as well as instruction, to its
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. 1t has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements of
the young are imperative The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the -husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of r-young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs, partiesS> pic
MICS or other forms of amusement
One thing is certain. and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in its place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
| pleasing recreation.

FOR THE CARD TABLE.
CLOTH OF ODD DESIGN is MOST
APPROPRIATE.
Tan Linen the Preferred Material. and
Decorations May Be Stencil Work
Some Hints as to Appro-
pirate Prizes.

Gard playing Is a winter pastime,
and hostesses will welcome anything
novel In connection with the game.
have in mind an odd-looking cloth for
covering the card tables while playing,
writes Helen Howe In the Washington
Star.
Tan linen is the material. though
any preferred plain fabric can be
used. White should be avoided on
account of soiling7 quickly, but wood
browns, also green's and grays, would
be effective
The tan linen is cut to fit the table,
and is bound with red ribbon about
one and one-half inches wide The
decoration is a row of card figures
worked a few inches from the edge
of the cloth In reds and blacks alter
nately, using heavy linen thread and
an outline stitch. If preferred, the
/ decoration could be stencil work.
Ribbons are sewed at the four cor
ners to tie to the table.
| A prize given at card party re-
| Gently was very novel. 1t was white
organdie turnback collar fitted with
| pointed cravat ends, embroidered with
i II
| worked solid, in reds and blacks. The
outlines were so perfect as to resem-
BILE printing rather than hand embroid-
cry. The needlework appeared in the
corners of the collar and upon the
ends of the cravat, and the whole
thing was very much admired.
Not every hostess is sufficiently
skillful to give a prize of this kind OF
her own handiwork, but a linen case
for holding two packs of cards should
not be difficult to make. A long strip
of linen a little deeper than the long
side of a card is lined with soft
silk and then brought together to form
two pockets. A binding of red rib
bon is sewed to the edges. When the
cards are slipped in, the case is fold
ed and the upper side decorated as de-
sired.
Another simple prize might be a
very fine sheer linen handkerchief
hemstftched and decorated in the cor
ners with the four aces. This hand
kerchief should be kept for card
parties exclusively.
A shaving pad is another sugges
ton. This could be a round of tar
linen bound with red, the decoration
four miniature cards outlined on the
linen with fine gilt thread, and ar
ace worked in each in the correct col
orings The cards should be apparent
ly scattered over the surface of the
shaving case. A bit of ribbon passed
through ring and sewed to the liner
furnishes the hanger.
Then there is the idea of a dainty
apron in organdie decorated with noel
cards worked in with fast cotton o.
washable silks This would be nov
city If worn by a hostess serving tel
or a luncheon at a card party.
One dozen small tea napkins dis
playing one of the card figures il
each corner would be really hand
some prize, and not cost very much
after ALL The napkins would be KEEP
for card parties only, of course.
