BRYAN. TEXAS. JANUARY 7. 1910.
QUESTIONS FOR BOY8
TO ANSWER.
The secretary of the boys' depart-
ment of the Fort Worth Y. M. C. A.
bas after consulting with ministers
and other experienced persons Inter-
mitted In boys prepared twelve ques-
tions to be submitted to the boys of
that city; and In order to Increase the
Interest a series of prizes for the best
answers will be awarded. These are
the questions:
If you had $1000 what would you
do with the money?
How does your best boy friend
siend bla money and what does he
do to have fun?
How did you spend esrh evening
last week?
Why would you like to visit New
York fity. and what would you be
most Interested In seeing there?
What fights and quarrels have you
bad. and why?
What book has given you the most
pleasure In reading?
What things do you like and dis-
like about the boy whom you dislike
the most?
Why do you go to school?
What bad habits tempt boys most
strongly?
Why should you never drink any-
thing with alcohol In It?
Why should you be grateful to your
' parents?
What do you mean to do and be
when you grow up?
It will do any boy good whether he
lives in Port Worth or elsewhere to
read these questions carefully and
answer them for himself and for this
reason The Eagle reprints them for
the benefit of the boys among Its
readers especially those of Bryan and
I Ira .(in county. All boys may be di-
vided Icto two tisfttses the thouhtful
and the heedless. Thoughtful boys
plan for the future heedless Boys
think only of the present. As a rule
thoughtful boys make successful men.
There Is much food for thought In
these questions.
II. F. Yoakum says Texas is slow
In development as compared with the
Northwest and thinks the people of
tliis state should hold the upbuilding
of the material Interests of the state
as the first consideration in choos-
ing a governor. Mr. Yoakum Is a
good mun but naturally he Is influ-
enced by his own Interests; he wants
the railroads to have everything their
own way without regard to other In-
terests. He Is wrong in holding mate-
rial development above the moral up-
lift which should always be the first
consideration. If he bad his wayt
Texas politics and Texas society
would soon be as rotten as they are
In I'ennsylvanlu. Texas will do well
to act upon the advice of a wiser
teacher than Mr. Yoakum who said:
"Seek first the kingdom of Cod and
Ills righteousness then all these
things shall be added unto you." The
phrase "all these things" means the
material blessings which Mr. Yoakum
would place first
As The Eagle sees It the provision
of the anllpass law forbidding news
papers to exchange advertising for
mileage has proven a benefit rather
than a detriment to newpuers
though It was conceived In malice and
enacted In spite by politicians who
were smurtlng because of newspaper
criticism. The law ought to be amend
ed so as to eliminate this provision
not because It Is detrimental to news
papers but because It Is unjust.
Mr. Alfred Fast president of the
Royal Society of British Artists who
Is In Chicago attending an art exhi-
bition said to a newspaper reporter:
American women are splendid la
themselves and much more interesting
than American men." It Is an artful
bit of (lattery for all the American
men will agree with him and if any
of the American women dissent they
will be pleased nevertheless.
Miss Ixirena O'Uellly president of
the Womea's Trade fnlon league ob-
jects to Miss Anne Morgan's proffered
assistance to the shirtwaist strikers
because Miss Morgan frankly express-
d her opposition to Socialism. Miss
O'Rellley Is unreasonable to expect
the daughter of a man who controls
two hundred and fifty billions to be
a Socla'lst.
The promoters of the com growing
movement estimate that an increas-
ed production of five bushels per acre
in Texas would add li.l.OOO.OOO to the
bank accounts of Texas farmers not
taking into consideration an Increase
of acreage. The corn growers of
Brazos will get their share of profit
from both kinds of increase.
year was only nrieen cents per cap- w
ita while the average for the I'nited
States was $2.78. This Is a showing
worth bragging about.
t
It Is safe to predict that the new
book with the title "How to Meet
Trouble" will not b eamong the best
se'lers. A book telling how to avoid
trouble Is what the people want.
f'alnless surgery Is all right but
painless education la what the hoys
and girls want. And they ought to
have it as nearly as possible.
