THE GREEDY DOG.
Among the short allegories com-
monly called fables that have come
down through the centuries of three
mlllenlums that of the dog which lost
his piece of meat by attempting to
snatch Its Image from the reflected
picture of himself In the water has
taught Its lesson of wisdom In vain
In most cases to nine hundred gen-
erations of men and yet the lesson Is
unheeded. The greedy dog of course
represents a class of men found In
every community who lose what they
have In the effort to secure more than
their share.
Yesterday Mr. O. E. Gammil man-
ager of the Bryan-College lnterurban
line discussed with about thirty of
the business men of Bryan an evil that
has been mentioned by The Eagle
many times the exorbitant prices de
provide no means of enforcing the
rights of the public but that the prin-
ciple of eminent domain holds good
in such cases Is unquestionable. In
other words the moral law demands
that private property shall be sold for
a reasonable price whenever the pub-
lic welfare requires It. If therefore
the public not only refuses to be held
up and robbed but finds a way to cir-
cumvent the robbers' leaving them m
the lurch they have no one to blame
but themselves.
Mr. GammU's proposition Is to
change the route of the interurban
either to the north or to the south of
the present line. Before the road was
built preliminary lines were surveyed
on both sides and it is said that a
good route can be secured on either.
If practicable the tx!st thing for
Bryan would be a belt line approxi-
mately eliptical with the present line
as the transverse axis. To guard
against danger of a repetition of the
existing evil options on the adjacent
lands shoudl be secured In advance.
If this were done the entire circuit
oi the belt line would soon be bor-
dered with beautiful suburban homes.
A news item tells of a peasant wom-
an at Pelev in the Caucasus who re-
cently celebrated her one hundred
and sixty-fifth birthday. If this be
true she was born in 1746 and was
thirty years old when the Declaration
of American Independence was signed
and not much under a hundred when
the oldest living citizen of Brazos
county was born. Such a woman would
be an attraction in a dime museum.
tions and that even if we were threat-
ened with invasion 'we should not call
out the whole armed strength of the
nation but humbly ask to have the
matter decided by a tribunal a pro-
posal which the enemy would be sure
to reject It is time to explain as
clearly and unmistakably as possible
that so far from being mere dreamers
philosophers or men without a country
we have a clear conception of our duty
and our responsibility. We believe
that the policy we advocate for Eu-
rope is as clear as prudent as posi-
tive and as full of promise as the pol-
icy now followed is obscure and
fraught with confusion and danger.
"Universal peace and simultaneous
disarmament will never be anything
but dreams unless science and the
strictest and most methodical means
are employed to hasten their coding.
It may already be said that disarma-
ment 'will merely be the last stage of
pacific evolution. Between this last
stage and the aspirations we now en-
tertain there is many a mile to be
traveled and always' at the same
pace. It Is useless to look for disarm-
ament unless we first try the effect of
a progressive reduction of armaments;
and this reduction itself will be neces-
sarily preceded by a limitation a halt
in the increase of armaments. This
limitation however implies great
changes in the relations among the
powers and those changes must be
set down in treaties. Such treaties
Imply reciprocal recessions due to a
respect for Justce and the conscious-
ness of a new solidarity between the
contracting states. Such treaties can
not be successfully carried out nor
even negotiated unless public opinion
13 thoroughly prepared beforehand.
"On these lines our program be-
comes very simple and clear. Our one
object Is to bring international arbi-
tration into general acceptance and in-
duce governments to resort to a rea-
sonable and honorable way of settling
not all conflicts but the largest possi-
ble number of them by equitable
means."

The Hearne Democrat complains
that it can not collect a bill for adver-
tising due from the Bryan Commercial
I Club. That it isn't the fault of the
ciub or of the board of directors goes
without saying. The matter should be
investigated. It is 'a stigma on the
city.
Cotulla down in the prickly pear

shipping seventy-five carloads of can-

to eat imported cantaloupes this year
or will Brazos county farmers supply
enough of the home-grown product?
The adoption of the income tax and
of the corporations tax both of which
will be effected in the near future
will greatly simplify the tariff prob-
lem by leaving but little revenue to
be raised on imports.
