THE FEDERATED
CHRISTIAN CHARITIES

It Is impractical and unjust to make
public all the good work being done
by the Federated Christian Charities.
This would be embarrassing to some
and would be betraying condolences.
At the same time there are some
cases which we have no hesitation In
referring TO. For instance. one Satur-
day night recently word came TO the
investigating committee that a Mexi'
can woman and four children were
taking refuge in box car about three
miles out on the International & Great
Northern and that they we're In
needy circumstances. II being too
late TO 20 that night, two members
of the committee drove out there
early Sunday morning and found that
the woman's husband had deserted
her They looked him up and by
some sleight of hand made peace be
tween the husband and wife. He wa

RIGHT IN THE STYLE.

It's a good thing to get back occa-
sionally to first principles.
The Bible says so.
In all of our cities is a spontaneous
movement, not yet reduced to legisla.

Actually, folks, the most of us had
forgotten, II We ever knew, that from
the earth comes the sustaining power
for these bodies of ours.
Why shouldn't each family have It's
own vegetable garden?
The late M. V. Smith, a Baptist
preacher of more than local repute

NOW FOR THE ROADS,

The result OF Wednesdays good
roads bond election In road district
No. / is indeed gratifying TO the pro-
ponents OF the proposition. The re-
suit was so decisive as to leave no
doubt that public sentiment is over
whelmingly in favor Of good roads.
The only discordant note In the entire
proceeding is that the people OF the
Millican district could not see their
way TO carry the proposition there
also. The failure OF the proposition
there will defeat the idea OF a first
class north and south highway from
county line to county line. This can
not be helped. however and The
Eagle believes the defect will be cured
in time.
The Eagle believes It is indeed for
tunate that the work Of permanent
road building is to begin in Bryan and
the immediate surrounding country.
Under this plan. and with good roads
radiating from Bryan In every direc'
tion, all the taxpayers Of the county.
and they practically all come here,
will receive some benefits from the
roads whether they live in the good
roads district or out of 1t. II is for
tunate for another reason. these roads
going out like the spokes Of a wheel
from Bryan viii serve as an object
lesson. in other words they will dc
missionary work every day in the
year for good roads. Farmers cominl
in ten to fifteen miles, pulling theil
teams to death through the mud, cal
not help but be impressed when the!
come to the good roads leading int
the city. Not only impressed, blu
impressed favorably, and impresse
TO such an extent that the conviction
that good roads are the one grea
thing needful, will take such hold o
the people that nothing short Of col
summation can stop II. The predi,
ton of The Eagle is that the goo
roads movement will spread and
Just few years will cover the entir
county.
The taxpayers in the Bryan roa
district have spoken and It is now I
to the commissioners court and Il
advisory committee to do the rest
is up to them to construct syste
of roads that will stand the test
time. system Of roads that will CO
vince the taxpayers they have gott
their moneys worth, and a system
roads that will inspire other loca
ties, seeing our good roads, to go a
do likewise.

Doubtless hundreds OF other sportinR

the affair, but those quoted are sum
c1ent to show the mixed up mess that
nnds its way into the annals Of fis-
tlana- There In no need of considering
OF consulting further, for the farther
one goes the more the muddle.
In reviewing the happenings OF Sat-
urday night at Brighton Beach, first
and foremost stands out the utter fall

lsIaction to the sporting public. Never

sons saw that of Saturday night, to-
DAY there is hardly one out of the
10000 who really knows for a GER
tainly whether or not he has been
buncoed.
As to Gibbons and nGcFariand-they
are two or the cleverest men for their
weight in the ring today and 1t has
long been an axiom Of the boxing ring
that two clever men never can put up
what might be termed a satisfactory
battle. The average fan wants action
and the delivery OF blows that shall
any question of doubt. These are the
blows that the average clever ring
ster cannot deliver, for the physical
makeup of the boxer is such that only
rarely is one developed who can punch
hard and at the same time stand far
out beyond his fellows because of his
so-called ring science. The qualities
OF punch and cleverness do not as
a rule go together, though there have
been exceptions.
Not X. o. Men.
Neither Mike Gibbons nor Mcfarland
nave ever been known as ''knocker-
outs" despite the fact that they have
scored K. o. blows during their long
careers IN the ring, consequently any
bout in which men of this type are
pitted is bound to be more or less un-
satisfactory: And it appears to be the
consensus that Saturday nights af-
fair was not up to general expectations.

the contrary
To put up a hard fight there was not
