Who are the Manchus whom the

are the rulers of China bearing the

the Goths to the Spanish in medieval
times. The Manchus were originally

THE GOVERNORS AND THE COT
TON MARKET.
Much interest is manifested in tho
movement started by Governor Col
quitt to have a conference of the gov
ernors and agricultural commissioners
of the Southern states for the purpose
of devising means to hold up and if
possible to raise the price of cotton.
Speaking of the proposed conference
tne Beaumont Enterprise says: "It
will be disclosed that the 1911 crop
and the consumption of cotton and
prospective consumption do not war
rant the low price now being paid and
the lower price which seems inevit
able unless some steps are taken to
stop the decline."
If it does no more than "disclose"
what everybody knows the governors
may as well save their time and trav
eling expenses. For half a century at
least all readers of current economic
literature have known that the cotton
market Is controlled by middlemen
who get the lion's share of the profits
robbing both producer and consumer.
If the governors can knock out the
middleman from taw they will win
the game; otherwise one more failure
will be added to the long list of un
successful efforts of this kind that
have gone before.
It is already evident that those who
understand the situation best do not
expect much from Governor Colquitt's
conference. The cotton bears are go-
ing right on buying and selling and
getting gain utterly regardless of it.
But while there is little prospect of
results in time to affect the present
crop there is reason to hope that the
conference will do good. If nothing
else is accomplished It will have an
educational influence that will be
worth the time and money. The best
thing the governors can do is to get
in behind those members of congress
who are trying to make gambling in
futures a felony. A cage full of cotton
bears In stripes would be more fun
for the cotton farmers than all the
Every person who owns real estate
In a town has a pecuniary Interest in
everything that makes for the good
of the town and this includes moral
as well as material things. The value
of property is advanced by everything
that helps to make the town a more
desirable place to live in. Especially
is it the concern of every property
holder to know the character of all
the places of amusement and resort
and to object to such as may be de-
moralizing because they impair the
value of property. But it should be
borne in mind always that purltanisra
Is not morality.
The citizens of Madlsonville have
organized a stock company with the
object of prospecting for artesian wa-
ter. The shares are $10 each and al-
ready $3000 has been subscribed. The
Eagle has often suggested that a sim-
ilar . movement be undertaken In
Bryan not for a water supply but to
prospect for oil gas and valuable min
erals. Anybody could pay $10 to make
such a test which If successful would
make everybody rich. And the chance
of success Is good.
The Judges of the supreme court of
the United States on their return
from a three months' vacation found
eight hundred cases on the docket.
Yet any one of them perhaps would
discharge his office boy if he went to
a ball game on a busy day. When the
recall Is adopted supreme judge3 like
other people will place business be
fore pleasure.
The effect of the rain on cotton will
be to Injure the quality of the staple
and to delay picking and marketing.
These two results the one injurious
f.nd the other beneficial will perhaps
offset each other. In other resuect3
the rain is a good thing.
Almost every day the Galveston
Tribune reprints in its "Sanctum Sitt-
ings" one or more of the Commercial
sionrot arias' naraeranhB credited to
some TexaB newspaper that has print
ed It as an editorial. The Tribune is
teach the other fellows that plagiar
ism is as immoral as any other steal
ing.
The Chinese revolutionists are plan-
ning to establish a republic if re
ports are true. It will be something
unprecedented in human affairs for a
people of the Mongolian race to at-
temnt self-Jtovernment. But all lover3
of liberty everywhere will wish them
Godspeed.
British and American army men are
experimenting with guns to shoot at
aeroplanes. Why don't they use mor
tars like those the Yankees shelled
with at Vicksburg?
The emneror of China is onlV five
years old and can't leave the kinder
garten to take the field against the
rebels.
Today is Friday the 13th. And this
reminds us that Governor Colquitt
called the cotton conference to meet
on the 23rd.
Late returns from the CdHrornia
election Indicate that the woman suf
frage amendment may have been
adopted. If this be so it will have a
tremendous Influence in favor of the
movement all over the country.

In building good roads the first
thing to be learned is to make every
dollar count. Nothing is so discourag
ing as a misguided application or
funds and this can be avoided in road
building by employing competent men
as constructors. Because a man is
honest and sincere in his work he is
not necessarily a good road builder.
There are engineers all over the coun
try who make specialties of building
roads along scientific lines and their
work is the cheapest and most satis-
factory. They have made a study of
this kind of work; they know what
they are doing every foot of the way
and they should be consulted.
If the railroads of the country can
spend millions annually in straighten
ing their roads and lessening grades
and curves can not the farmers aided
by the people of the cities as they
would be by bond issues spend a few
thousands on good roads? Highways
are the farmers railways and easy
transportation is as essential to the
farmer as it is to the railroad.
The farmers of Goliad county have
adopted a novel and Unique method of
building public roads which is prov-
ing very effective. The split-log drags
which are used for keeping the county
roads in good condition are placed
on each road leading out from Goliad.
Each farmer coming into town hitches
the drag to his wagon and hauls it for
a mile or two leaving it for the next
farmer who does likewise. In this
way the drag is kept moving all the
time and the result is good road3 and
smooth roads in all kinds of weather.
Good roads bring with them new
and higher and more perfect ideals of
life. They bring ideals which aim to
provide better conditions and fuller
opportunity for all. They promote the
circulation of ideals a most Important
element in civilized life. The exchange
of ideas is most essential to progress.
Every farm is a factory. It produces
the raw material of commerce. Its
prosperity must depend upon the mar-
kets for Its products. If the markets
are good and easily accessible then
individual effort may count for some-
thing. If there are no good markets
and If the markets are not cheaply ac-
cessible then effort Is handicapped
and success Is impracticable.

pose of saying good-bye to Mr. W. J.

Texas. The night was so bad but few
could come out and the entire mem-
bership of the lodge take sthis method
of suylng good bye and bidding him
Godspeed.
