New York, March 15.—A letter from
Representative Joe II. Eagle ot Texas
declaring ’’woman’s chief work should
be making one good man and a good
wife and properly rearing a family of
children," caused a mild sensation
Saturday at a luncheon of the wom-
an's chamber of commerce, n national
organization of professional and busi-
ness women. The letter was the only
"adverse reply," it was said, received
from more than a score of governors
and public officials in the country to
a request to give the organization nil
aid possible.
Note the following language.
"Mr. Eagle seems to have forgotten
that men have ruled the world ever
since the name of Adam aid we all
know the terrible mess they have
made of it," Mrs. Catherine Clemmons
Gould, founder nf the organization,
told the gathering of several hundred
women. “We nre, some of us, denied
the privilege of being able to find or
marry that good man, und we must
not count on them any longer, but we
must get right down to business
alongside the men.

A. S. Collins, postmaster and stock-
man. left today for Houston to attend
the stockmen’s convention.
Fort Worth. Texas. March 15.—The
following statement, addressed to the
people of Texas, was given out by E.
G. Senter of this city:
1 have just read the announcement
that four rival candidates for the dem-
ocratic nomination for governor of
this state have agreed to combine to-
gether in a fight to secure an indorse-
ment of tho course of President Wil-
son in the controversy now pending
in the United States senate.
1 have Just read the speech made
by Mr. Levelling at Royse City, which
is an attack upon Mr. Bailey person-
ally, based largely on matters involv-
ed in the investigation made by the
legislature in 1907. 1 had the honor
to be chairman of the legislative cau-
whlch forced that investigation
and was later a member of the sen-
ate committee of investigation,
position in that matter la too well
known to require restatement, it may_________________
not be amiss to say that 1 devoted controversy I shall
more of my own funds, and suffered '
more physically on account of that
proceeding than any man or than uny
dozen men who were lined up uuainst
Mr. Bailey, as far as my knowledge
goes J have had no communication
with, him since and I am not in agree-
ment with him on the subject of pro-
hibition and woman suffrage.
Join in the Fight.
I have already served notice upon
some of the leaders qf President Wil-
son that if they attempted to make
a Bailey nnd anti-Ba Iley fight 1 would
turn aside ray personal affairs long
enough to take a hand in It. and I now
desire to say to tho people of Texas
that I consider it the duty of every
man who feels a deep concern in the
welfare and future of this country to
Join in the approaching fight. In my
judgment, if President Wilson shall
succeed in his efforts to make tills a
one-man government, and to endow
the president of the United States
with the extraordinary power to com-
mit this country to any kind of con-
tract and engagement with a foreign
country which may please him, with-
out any restriction whatever upon
him except such as may be imposed by
his own whims or ambitions, the re-
public, as it was founded and as we
know it, will disappear. The impe-
rialistic authority ho would confer
upon the executive is far greater than
was exercised by George HI, or 1>y any
monarch of mfidern times. In truth,
his policy would destroy tho legisla-
tive branch of the government.
1 have been in the East the greater
part nf the last three years. I know
that the most important facts in re-
lation to the negotiations at Versailles
nnd the far-reaching nnd potential
features of that treaty have never
been disclosed to the people of Texas.
If they did fully understand what it
would mean to the life of this repub-
lic. nnd what it would mean to Texas,
r A CriUTm TT 0 I1 ,iav® 1,0 a* Mr. Lansing said.
I 11 ill 111 In II .1 that they would disapprove it by an
L> U. ULIIILIl I LI.Lv | overwhelming majority, particularly
mr ^iiinrn ai mil” article
MleehlevouH Doctrine.
When a matter of such tar reaching
consequence Is presented to the public
it is. in my judgment, an offense
against the public Welfare to seek to
confuse it with personal issues. I do
not hesitate to say that if the demo-
cratic party shall so fur depart from
Its creed, its traditions and all tlie
faith it has hereto(pre professed as
to become a. factor tn the propaganda
for socialism nnd so-called interna-
tionalism that is now under way in
this country, and which refers to the
president as its chief apostle. 1 do not
believe the party will ever got beyond
the present campaign. The people of
the South can have no sort of toler-
ance for the insidious and mischiev-
ous doctrines which have set all Eu-
rope afire and which threaten to en-
gulf the world in it cataclysm paral-
leling that into which Russia has
fallen.
Let no man be deceived. Tlie ques-
tion to he decided in Texas and else-
where in the coming campaign is not
whether Bailey did anything wrong
fifteen or twenty years ago, but
whether republican and democratic
institutions shall be handed down by
us to our children as they were hand-
ed down to us by our fathers. In that
, , I take an active
part, and it matters not to me who I
shall find fighting by my side Who-
ever he inay be, while this fight goes
on he will be treated as comrade. If
1 have any issue with him it will be
disposed of when I am assured the
country is delivered from the den 1-
liest peril that ever menaced its very
existence—the peril of autocracy plus
imperialism, plus sovietism.

HERE IT IS.
In another column of today's Tri-
bune Is the annouenement of tho Bay
City Utilities Co., in which the com-
pany invites the ’mbltc to investigate
its plan of connecting with the sower
service.
The Tribune has been advised by I
the manager that every effort will be
made to meet tho people more than
half way in its work of plucing tho
service in tlie homes of the people of
the city.
There are a largo number of the
people who are accessible to tills ser-
vice, but who arc not using it. There
Is nothing more convenient, healthful
or economical. Heretofore no cam-1
pnign has been made for additional
patrons and consequently the cost of
connecting up has never been made
to many. The new management has
a plan of co-operation along this very
important line mid is anxious to ex-
plain It. Suffice to say It is well I
worth investigating
Read the advertisement and then
call tlie manager. Your opportunity
to avail yourself of this greatest con-
venience was never better.

Cotton Plus Fruit Plus
GUARANTY FUND BANK
TEXAS
BAY CITY,
Truck
Nineteen twenty will be the greatest year of the grout South!
With the American Cotton Association’s plans fairly under way,
there « ill be such u wave of business, of prosperity, uh has never even
been dreamed of for the Southern fanner, the merchant, the banker.
The day of cotton is at hand. No longer will the cotton farmer
feed himself out of the supply man’s tin can and pork barrel, until
at the end of the year he owes hit whole crop.
Instead, according to the American Cotton Association’s plans, he
will grow better cotton on less acreage, and on the rest of his farm
he will raise his own fruit, his own vegetables, his own meat. Then,
when his cotton is picked and baled lie will store it in the system of
warehouses advocated by the. American Cotton Association and sell
it at a fair price.
This hunk stands for that kind of farming—because that kind of
farmers will have money to put into the bank at the end of the year.
The Country Gentleman also advocates Cotton Plus Fruit Plus
Truck, and that is the title of an article in the issue dated February
28—one of a great series about tho American Cotton Association and
the new freedom of the South which is coming through it. (Tho
Country Gentleman may lie bought ou any newsstand for 5 cents a
copy; or by mail for ti a vear—52 big Issues. Address The Country
Gentleman, Philadelhpla, Penna.)
The Southern farmer who grows cotton and food and feed is the
farmer who will have a hunk account this year!
