A resolution offered by Senator Nc
Nealus to adjourn sine die on March
70 was voted down by the Senate. All
such resolutions and proceedings are
absolutely foreign to the duties for
which members Of the Legislature
were elected. They serve no purpose,
except TO fritter away time, which Is
a costly burden to the taxpayers OF
the state. It does not look like a
body Of intelligent men, such as our
Legislature Is supposed to be and in
fact is, would cut out all such by-play
and give earnest thought to the bust
ness in hand Transact the business
demanded by the party in its platform
and such other measures as the inter
ests Of the State demand, and then
adjourn. Under this program The
Eagle would not be understood as
favoring undue haste or action on the
spur OF the moment We believe that
each measure should be given free
discussion and mature deliberation.
be the time necessary for such con.
sideration long or short.

THE SHIP PURCHASE PROPOSAL

There is a wide diversity Of opinion,
even among Democrats, on the ship
purchase bill, an administration meas.
ure, now pending before Congress.
The view is held by some that II en-.
acted into law and put into effect Il
would be the vehicle upon which we
would ride into the trouble now tear
ing asunder the European countries.
Others maintain that II the govern.
ment engages in the shipping business
II will forever destroy our chances Of
an American owned merchant marine.
That men with money will hesitate
TO invest in the shipping business
with the government as a competitor
The Waco Times.Herald, an original
Wilson paper, opposes the measure,
and in discussing II says:
"The Wilson administration is urg.
ing upon Congress day and night the
passage Of the ship purchase bill. The
Boston Herald is moved to make these
observations:
"Kuhn, Loeb & Company, the ad.
ministration's fnanciers, want to get
rid OF some ships, now useless TO Ger
many and costing thousands Of dol
lars day in upkeep and repairs. II
is a big stake for which these fnan-
ciers are playing But for the admin
istration to lend itself to It Is little
short Of a National scandal
ION which the esteemed Baltimore
Sun thus comments:
"'The suggestion that President
Wilson Is pushing this bill in order
to let his friends in on a fine financial
deal is not one which viii commend
itself to the ordinary rightthinking
citizen
"True enough. But the President,
moved by proper considerations,
might yet have had his judgment in

The Eagle comedies precisely with
the views of the Waco Times-Herald
on the subject of public education.
The State has undertaken the task
Of free instruction for the children OF
Texas and should provide the very
best facilities possible, but there the
state should stop. The proposition Of
compulsory attendance is against
every principle of liberty, independ-
ence. State rights, self-government
and home rule ever heard Of. These
very things are the cardinal virtues OF
free America.

The Case of the Daeia.-The steam
ship Dacia has come to the end Of an
eventful career at the torpedo Of a
German submarine. A German Ves-
sci, interned in the United States, pur-
chased by Americans, seized, with her
cargo, by French cruisers, condemned
as a prize and sold by the French
government, renamed the User, the
steamship ran afoul Of a German un-
dersea boat in the Mediterranean and
the subsequent proceedings will inter-
est her no more. The Injustice or her
seizure and the claim of her Ameri-
can owners for compensation, which
are supported by the United States
government, remain, however, and II
is to be supposed they will be pressed
to the establishment Of the very i'm
portant and far reaching principle in
volved in the controversy precipitated
by the ships arrest and condemna-
ton. This Is nc less than the integ-
rity Of American registry OF merchant
vessels. II ship flying the flag OF
the United States, under the authority
of the officials of this government, Is
questionable as to her nationality, she
should be in the civil courts Of this
country, not before the prize courts OF
belligerent nations. The Dacia has
vanished, but her status remains an
issue Of great moment in the contro-
versy over the right Of neutrals to use
the high seas during war.-Charleston

Look Before You Leap

DURING the past six or eight
years l have frequently heard the
statement made that people had learn
ed q great deal more about Life In
surance than they used to know, and
that the Individual who had made up
his mind to insure his life was pretty
apt to Look Before He Leaped. MY
observation is that some" people
have learned that all legal reserve or
o-called "old line" companies, ARE
NOT "About the same" They have
learned that all of them Do NOT treat
all Of their members in the same way,
and that all have not records extend
ing over a long series Of years OF
Square Deal to each policy holder
whether he knew what was his dues
under his contract or not-such a rec
ord, for instance, as the Mutual Bene-
fit HAS. 1t is a fact that the average
buyer Of Life Insurance buys from an
Agent who goes after him." regard
less Of what company the Agent rep
resents, or the nature Of the contract
he sells. Comparatively few seem to
understand that while there is little
difference in the net cost OF insurance
in any Of the old, established, legal re-
serve companies, there is vast differ
ence in the Contracts. In view Of the
fact that the individual who buys the
insurance Pays the freight" it would
seem to be only common, business
sense for him to "Look Before He
Leaps" even though his own brother
was the Agent who first caused him to
become interested in life insurance.
The Mutual Benefit Is recognized all
over the United States as being In a
Class BY ItseIf-the One that has Al
ways Done the Most for Its Members,
and l shall be pleased to show YOU
il YOU care to be shown.

Engineer Hunter having formerly been
an engineer on the c. & NV: En-
gineer ]. R. Hunter of Brambleton,
had his leg broken and traffic was
tied up for about five hours on the
Norfolk Southern railway as the re-
suit Of collision OF freight and
passenger train near Yeopim Monday
night. A freight OF sixty empty cars
was delayed by heavy fog Monday
night, stopping several hundred yards
south OF Yeopim. The passenger
crashed into the rear Of the train at
1l.a0 o'clock. demolishing the rear cars
and damaging others. Engineer Hunter
jumped as he saw the collision was
inevitable and sustained a fractured
leg on striking the ground. The dam
age to the trains was small and no
one else than the engineer was injured.
Five hours or more Of work was neces-
sary before the track was cleared, the
result being a tie-up Of traffic for
that length Of time and late schedule
for passenger trains for some time.
