JOE UTAY SEES
MANY CHANGES
Prominent Attorney Of Dallas Talks
Of Progress Made In Bryan Since
He Went Away.

There are very few people in Bryan.
or for that matter In Texas or the
Southwest. who do not know Joe
utay. either by reputation or by some
kind word he has spoken to them
since he reached the age of accounta.
bility. II was the pleasure OF an Eagle
representative who. by the way. has
known Mr.. Utay for many years. to
meet him yesterday afternoon after
the A. and MS. VI. L. game at Kyle
Field, and have a very pleasant con.
versation with him. Space forbids
mentioning the many good things he
had to say about different individuals
In this city who are his friends. and
says he has never seen country
burg" come out like Bryan has.
THE idea Of a single building In a
town OF this size being built at a cos,
OF a little over 100000. hardly seems
reasonable. but when YOU see what +

Hardships Come First.

Lucky" Baldwin was one Of the
well-known characters on the Pacific
coast up to a few years ago, when he
died. His case Is contradictory In Il
way, as his "luck" came only after
such struggles and hardships as few
men go through. AS n prospector he
was near death many times and lived
In desperate poverty for the greater
part of his life. Then he made u strike
in prospecting which left him fabulous
ly wealthy. His sobriquet of Lucky"
Is n decided mlsnomer here, especially
as family troubles and litigation EN-
bittered his last years.
In glancing over the list of those
who control the largest fortunes In
this country, 1t is often impossible to
realize how it comes that men of such
varying qualities attain success.
Where does this success come from,
anyway? Is it foresightness. is 1t
strength of character, force of person
ality?
Or Is it a quality called luck?

The primary step In human better
ment has always been to secure a
shorter wOrkday. Those workers who
toiled ten or twelve or fourteen hours
became drudges, too tired to think, too
worn out to hope or dream dreams
with time only for the sleep necessary
for any animal. Each day they re-
turned to work unrested from the toll
of the previous day, the poison Of
fatigue accommodating in the body until
the vigor of youth and manhood was
ruinously undermined.
To decrease the hours Of work to
reasonable standard assures to the
worker time for rest and recuperation
and additional time for development,
for study for social pleasures, for the
things that make life worth while and
fill 1t with hope and opportunity.
Since this change has been brought
about in reducing the hours Of work,
the short-hour workman becomes
better workman, consequently. reduc-
tions in the hours of work are invari-
ably accompanied by increases In
wages.
Reduced Hours, Increased Efficiency.
1t has been the experience of en-
ployers that reducing the hours OF
work to reasonable standard results
In increased efficiency of workers. The
data furnished by some who have kept
statistics showing the increased out
put resulting from reducing from
ten to an eight-hour day is startling.
Some have found that efficiency In

Ing in places of employment. By their
demands, backed up by their economic
power, they have succeeded in bring
ing about great transformation. In
this they have had the cooperation
and assistance of the many great
scientists, who have used their knowl-
edge and their ability to promote the
interests of humanity. But whatever
has been accomplished to establish
principles of human welfare in indus
try and commerce has been due either
directly or indirectly to economic Or
ganizations of workers.
Each year that has gone by has
made more evident the soundness OF
the principles which the trade union
lists have followed. AS the dynamic
forces in the lives of the people stand
out sharply in some test that cuts
through to bedrock fundamentals, the
strength and the nature of economic
power is revealed. Those who had
the understanding to interpret such
fiashlight glimpses into the heart of
things and who can sense the hidden
currents that are propelling the for
ward surge of life, know that those
who handle the tools and materials of
production. have in their hands the
great powers of the common life. Gre
ative ability is that which gives men
and women who can do things intlu-
ence and value. Men ana women have

GUARDSMENPS VOTES DECIDE MINNESOTA Hughes Leads With Ballots From Border on Way
 North.

St. Paul, Nov. 10.-With less than 100 precincts in the state to be heard from Charles E. Hughes today is leading President Wilson by a plural ity of slightly more than 1000 votes in a race which has whip-sawed through two days and three nights of unofficial counting and according to leaders of both parties can only be decided by the official count.
 The vote from Minnesota guards men on the Mexican border which is being forwarded to the county audi tors of the home counties of the vot- CTS and cannot be counted until Mo- Vem Der IS, under the law giving the absent guardsmen the privilege of voting, is expected to be received sometime before Monday, according to the information obtainable today
 The vote of the guardsmen, which was taken Tuesday by commission CTS sent to the border for the pur- pose, amounted to 2.13S and is re- garded by party leaders as an inn portant factor in deciding the elec- tion in the state.
 Party leaders, today the vote of some precincts not reported at this time may not be added to the unof- ficial county, by but will be sent to county seats. there to await the of fiCial count.

San Francisco, Nov. 10.-With Cal Iifornia's determining presidential vote conceded to Wilson, interest in the size of the presidents plurality i claimed attention for it's bearing in the case of a split electoral delega- ] tion which has been predicted.
 Only thirty-five precincts remained to be heard from early today when Wilson's lead was 3,131. As the miss ing precincts are in sparsely settled counties, it was believed that the present plurality would not be changed materially.
 Both Secretary of State Jordan and Chester H. Rowell, chairman of the republican state central committee, who early last night conceded the state to Wilson, look for a split del- egation, as happened four years ago. An official count under the supervi- sion of Jordan probably will be begun next Tuesday.

New York, Nov 1O-Woodrow Wilson was elected president of the United States when California swung definitely into the Democratic column early today
 The only where the result remained in question: today were Minnesota New Hampshire and New Mexicol with nineteen electoral votes Unless there is decided Mexico Hughes is leading in Minnesota. The resuld will not be known in New Hampshire until the official count completed West Virginia, which classed ad doubtful until late last night has gone definitely fo1 Hughes.
 Unless the of California is divided, which now seems possibility, Mr. Wilson is assured of 269 votes m the electoral college three than majority and Mr Hughes of 243 The president could lose three on California and still have enough to elect This loss would be offset by New Mexico which it certain he has carried.
 If Mr. Hughes carried both Minnesota with twelvd votes and New Hampshire with four, he would have on 259 seven less than enough to elect Mr. Wilson could lose New Mexico and three votes from California and still win.

Guards Votes Will Decide.

The result in Minnesota may be de- ,, termined by the ballots of the 2,13S National Guards now on the Mexican border which will not be counted until the state canvass board meets next Tuesday. Returns received early today in the state gave Hughes lead of slightly over 1000 votes.
 With 99 districts missing out of 63S in New Mexico, Wilson was 1,41O ahead. The remote precincts not yet heard from are sparsely settled and it was not believed the presidents lead could be wiped out.
 The outcome in New Hampshire was in greater doubt than in any other state Certified returns from all but 25 precincts gave Hughes a lead of 131 but unofficial figures from the districts lacking were said to show a Wilson plurality of IF.
 California complete, except for 36 of the 5,S70 precincts in the state, give Wilson 465,669 and Hughes 462,53S, a plurality of 3,131 for the president
 The tension of the most dramatic situation in the political history of the country was broken when the Asso- ciated Press flashed the news that Re- publican Chairman Rowell of Cali fornia had conceded the state to Will son. Frantic appeals to expedite re- turns had been sent to state leaders hour later hour from the national headquarters of both parties in this city. Telegrams were reinforced by telephone calls across the continent It had been apparent since Wednesday that California was the pivot upon which the election would swing,
 Mountain Trails Choked By Snow.
 It was not until returns had come through from communities tucked away in the Sierras or settlements on the arid eastern slopes of the noun tains that the result was known. Or dinarily the few votes cast in these remote districts are considered of lit tie moment but in this history-mak- ing presidential contest they were of very vital importance. They could not be reached by telephone or tele- graph and the trails and passes lead ing to them were checked with snow in many places. There was nothing to do but wait for the stages and they began coming in last night.
 Similar difficulties were encountered in collecting the returns from the wilds of New Mexico and from the Tar corners of Minnesota. Tn past cam paigns New MeXico's three electoral votes have been considered only as incidental in swelling the majority or the winner but yesterday they might have elected a president. Minnesota was almost as important as CaHlor- mia in determining whether Hughes or Wilson had won and the returns rom that state caused nearly as much Joy among the republicans as those rom California did for the rival cam paignerS.
