BRYAN. TEXAS JULY' 9 1908
In its pre-eminent healthfulness
Bryan has an asset worth millions;
but like any other gifr; ft is worthless
If . r.Gt apreciated and used.
Dr. Fielding of San Antonio lost his
gas bag in the balloon race. Quite a
number of politicians will be in a po
sitlon to sympathize with Mr. Field
ing when they hear from the prima
ries.
Bet a billion Bill Bryan beats Bill
Taft.
The man who' predicted lively times
in Denver has an "I-told-you-so" com-
ing to him.
You can buy for a nickel more figs
than two hungry men can eat large
luscious figs plucked from the same
kind of tree that furnished the raw
material for Mother Eve's first gown.
j Every man woman and child can
help to build factories in Texas by
boosting home-made goods. Make it
a rule to give the preference every
time to whatever bears the label:
"Made in Texas." If the label reads:
"Made in Bryan" it Is a sin to turn
it down.
- If Roosevelt wants to do something
really strenuous why dont he go aft-
er the north pole? It is a worthier
object of ambition than killing rhi-
nostrohorses in the jungles of Africa.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS
According to the consensus of wise
men the indispensible element of
greatness is a strong sense of oppor
tunity. This is true of cities of states
and of nations as well as of individu
als. Has Bryan this strong sense of
opportunity? If so the Bryan-College
trolley line will be built.
When John Adams said in his
speech advocating the adoption of
the Declaration of Independence "We
shall make this a glorious and im-
mortal day; our children will cele
brate it with bonfires and illumina-
tions" he never dreamed of the havoc
that would be wrought by the cannon
cracker.
A book of "Extracts from the Con-
gressional Record' has been publish-
ed in which among other interesting
things it is shown that the last four
years of Roosevelt have cost the
country more than the four years of
the great war between the States. The
figures p. a: Rooseveltism $3428-
809371; war between the States $3-
394830931. The Roman Caesars won
the favor of the populace by lavish
expenditure pomp and splendor. The
American Caesars are using similar
means to deceive the people.
CANDIDATE FOR SENATE.
Hon. y. R. Boyd of Teague Free-
stone county spent yesterday in the
city in the interest of his candidacy
for State senator from the 12th sen-
atorial district. He paid the Eagle
a call and spent some time in agree-
able conversation.
Mr. Boyd is in the prime of life
and is a good specimen of stury Tex-
as manhood. He is gifted with a
pleasing address a genial manner and
a tact for making friends. Though
not a professional politician he has
held several positions of honor and
responsibility and has acquired ex-
perience in public affairs which would
be valuable in the place to which he
aspires.
Mr. Boyd assures us that he is not
the candidate of any class or of any
special interest but if elected he will
do whatever he honestly believes best
for the whole people. He believes in
applying business principles in legis
latlon and In the administration of
public affairs. "Fewer laws and laws
with fewer flaws" is a terse state
ment of bis political creed. Among
the reforms he advocates is the hold
ing of quadrennial instead of biennial
elections.
The Eagle bespeaks for Mr. Boyd
a careful consideration of the claims
upon which he bases bis candidacy.

CONSTANTLY GAINING.
Planetary meteorology is coming to
be recognized by scientists. Prof.
Jerome S. Ricard the astronomer of
Santa Clara College Santa Clara Cal
ifornia has long believed that sun-
spots have an important relation to
our weather changes. He has proven
a definite relation between the dates
on which sunspots reach the western
limb of the sun and the dates on
which the highs and lows reach the
Pacific coast and by his daily tele
scopic observations is able to forecast
the arrival of storm waves on the Pa
cific coast. As the weather bureau
has great difficulty in forecasting the
approach of weather changes that
come from the Pacific Prof. Ricard's
sunspot discoveries are of very con-
siderable importance.
Prof. Ricard is also a believer in
planetary meteorology and in a re
cent letter to me says: "I have put
your forecast to the severest test I
am capable of by watching day after
day and week after week tha en-
trance of warm and cool waves on the
Pacific slope or to use the language
of the weather map the appearance
of the new lows and the new highs
on the Pacific slope with the in-
evitable result that you have been ac-
curate a most wonderful feat for any
man to accomplish and " above the
comprehension of some of our belated
scientists."
