CONVICTION MUST PRECEDE CONVERSION.
Theologians tell us that there ran be
no repentance that is not preceded by
a consciousness of sin. To borrow the
praseology of the late Sam Jones be-
fore people can be induced to quit
tludr meanness and lead better lives
they must be made to realize that they
are sinners. The orthodox preachers
generally agree that this is their most
difficult problem.
The same principle applies to civic
betterment. People must be brought
to realize that conditions are bad be-
fore they can le induced to make an
effort to improve them. It is for this
reason that The Eagle so persistently
and pointedly preaches the gospel of
civic righteousness in Bryan including
material as well as moral betterment.
Indeed as we have all along contend-
ed there can be no permanent moral
reformation without a corresponding
change in material conditions.
The physical condition of Bryan is
far very far from satisfactory. Nor
can it be otherwise until the people
the great mass of the citienshlp are
brought to a realization of the evils

that exist. This like that or me
preachers is a hard task. It can not
be accomplished by legislation either
state or municipal. It can oniy
hv Pducatlon. and where) there Is
only one teacher who stays on the job
the work Is herculean. Ana even u
one had the power of the mythical
Greek demigod and should utilize tuu
whole volume of the waters of tne
Brazos in cleansing our Augean sta-
bles the effect would be only tem-
porary; In a very short time the flmal
accumulations would be as deep as
dank and as noisome as ever.
A few months ago the Civic League
announced the determination to maw
Bryan a clean town. The city was di-
vided into districts and committees
were appointed to superintend tne
clean-up campaign. The work in some
parts was well done though some of
the vilest places remained untouched.
The Eagle still honors these ladles for
their work's sake.
Put
The simple fact that while these
n written the writer has to
stop ever and anon to fight the flies
the Impudent vexatious pesmciu
hi3 which if not driven off. would
be all the time crawling over nis rac
nnH hnnrts. tells the story. Flies are
an infallible sign of filth. They can
nnt nrnnncate their species except in
filth and tho fact that they exist is
native nroof. if there were no other
that filth is near. They are here in
i.- nr nwnn in millions. It if
lilt? livait. ..
imnnssible to keep them out by screen
ing. They are in the grocery stores
ami mat markets crawling over ana
leaving filth and disease germs on the
fni that we eat. If Bryan were not
iv nnmi-A one of the healthiest places
in the world the population woum oe
wimntd every year with typnoiu
and other deadly diseases propagated
The eople of Bryan do not believe
this. They are used to the flies ana
a-hiiP thfiv admit that they are annoy
ing they think them harmless. This
innrnnrfl and indifference has cost
Bryan many precious lives and until
tho nonnle are enlightened the hate
ful fly will continue to spread the
Arms of disease and death.
Some argue that the fly can not be
exterminated and it is no use to tryj
nnt it has been done In other towns
It is asserted ana not aisputeu ui.n
tho mavor of Hubbard City keeps a
standing offer of a hundred dollars for
overv flv caught in his town. In some
towns much larger than Bryan there
are not one-tenth as many flies as
there are here. Thjs is because the
neonlc of those towns have been- con
vinced that the fly Is not only a nui
sance but a dangerous enemy of man
kind .
A campaign of education is needed
In which every public-spirited citizen
should enlist. In Detroit every mer-
chant places in every package of goods
he sells a leaflet giving information
about the nature and habits of flies.
Why don't the Bryan merchants do
something of the sort? Simply be-
cause they don't believe as the Detroit
merchants do that flies are a menace
to health. Some of them are laughing
while they read this. Well let them
laugh. We have the consolation of
knowing that the blood of the fly vic-
tims is not on our hand3.
In his valedictory address to the
officers alumni and students of the
San Marcos normal Prof. Harris if cor-
rectly reported practically announced
hi. enndidacv for governor. A careful
reading of his words however leaves
the Impression that It was only imai-
nage.
In an election affecting all the peo-
io no special interest has any right
to meddle and the attempt to do so Is
not from any good motive or for any
good purpose. If the people are wise
they will not only resent but punish
all such efforts from whatever source.
rnder the head "Prefer Being
Kicked Out" the Houston Post says:
Neither President Diaz nor hpeaxer
Cannon knew when to retire grace-
fully at the psychological moment."
And the Post might have aauea noi

The house Tuesday resolved to in

It Is a noteworthy fact that a man
who 13 intemperate in nis ponncm
zeal if he be honest never has money
to lend.
The flies are telltales proclaiming
the unpleasant truth that Bryan Is not
as clean as it ought to lie.
The time Is coming when a fly in
the house wil be a disgrace to me

J H. Ray sat near a wire fence rest
ing from ploughing on his farm near
Fayetteville Ark. when a monster
gray eagle swooped down on him. The
bird got tangled in the wire fence be
fore it could strike its intended vic-
tim and Ray pounced down on it.
After a fierce hand-to-claw conflict Ray
overpowered the king of the air and
trussed it up like a chicken. The bird
measured seven and one-half feet from
tip to tip of its wings. It was taken
to Fayetteville and placed on exhibi-
tion and is the first eagle seen in that
part of the country in several years.

mother who had been listening to his

"Robert." she began In a grieved
tone ''I never thought I'd hear you
swearing."
"Why I wasn't swearing mother"
the boy defended himself. "I only
said 'the devil.' That Isn't swearing."
"Well" replied the mother quickly
"maybe it Isn't exactly swearing but
it is making light of sacred things."
