WH AT IS THE VERD1UT.
“W e now have it in our power to do
the greatest thing that can be done
for the Rio Grande Valley -that
which will bring us tin* greatest mea-
sure of prosperity and it is our
plain duty as good citizens to do it.”
The foregoing paragraph is quoted
from an interview in yesterday's Herald
and the words are those of Mr. Albert
A. Browne. “There is a tide in tin* af-
fairs of men which taken at its flood
leads on to fortune." So said a great
poet some 300 years ago. This Iasi ut-
terance is not merely tin* dream of a poei
but it is one of the soundest bits of bnsi
ness wisdom ever uttered and it now
finds virtual repetition* in the words of
a practical business man of Brownsville
—as nb ive quoted.
Xo one can kill Brownsville but
Brownsville. This is true. Vet. perhaps
not more Inn* than this: No one can keep
Brownsville in the lead among Valley
towns but Brownsville. And Browns
ville can only do that on conditi u that
it is aide to see its opportunity when it
comes and embrace it when it comes.
Let us get this cue fact well fixed in our
minds:
This Vallei/ mints <h<p mihr at Uni-
son Santiaifo.
Li* us get this other fact well fixed
in our minds:
Tin IniHiliini of n standard i/nnpi mil
road f<> till*' milw is n rondifion prece-
dent to *!e* j miter at Hi urns SnnJitttjo.
This condition is absolute. Uncle Sam
will deepen the pass at Brazos only on
condition that tin* valley as a whole shall
have the benefit of deep water.
Let us gel another fact well fixed in
our minds:
: * *
■J
If the deep tenter prifeef foils or is
postponed iinl< finitelp the people of the
Yiilb'if trill lilnnir Itroirnsrille for the
fail nee.
Ultimately they will build the road
from some other point.
We are at tin* turning of tin* tide.
Either we shall go on to f rtnue or r<*
main stranded on the bank of tin* Rio
Grande.
-()
Jt is not easy to g< t at the plans of the
American government by tin* tilings the
war department may do. Tin* sending
nf a squadron of tin* third cavalry with
one troop of the fourth t > Laredo is one
of tin* facts whose purport we are at lib
erty to guess though the purpose tin*
government lias not thought proper t<*
explain as is the way of governments
the world over. Tlu* most plausible guess-
put forward is that the war department
lias knowledge of a movement t rebels
to attack Nucva Laredo. In that case
JL there would probably be a rush of fugi-
tives over the border lienee the situa
tion would be more comfort abb* for tin*
people . n the American side with a few
soldiers to keep order.
Huerta seems to believe he can get the
American pople to love him better than
they love Wilson. In a recent toast In*
drank to tin* American people. Some of
the Americans present applauded. It
would 1»* odd if every one present had
not applauded. Huerta was right there
and Wils n was a long way off.
-O-
Henry Spenecr. who recently confessed
to a long list of murders committed by
him. has been sentenced to die for the
murder of Mrs. Hex rout. The other
cases will probably Ik* dropped after the
execution of this sentence.
-O-
A new bacillus has been discovered in
France. 11 is other name is Itacillus lly
r. pertoxicus. Dr. Kappin. of tin* Pasteur
Institute at Xantes. is the man who put
the cur in Hypertoxicus but not until
v afer the euss had killed off eight citizens
of Xantes.
-O-
The claims of the Colorado as a nnv
* igable stream are to Ik* brought to tin*
attention of congress. The promoters
should naver rest until s mething is done
for “deep eddy" at Austin.

Stubbs of Kansas declares that Roose-
velt is the only man who can beat Wil

pliment to our peerless leader: but the

The man with a popcorn parcher is

dends.— Krenham Rainier Press.

WOMEN'S IMC.MTS.
As indicating that perhaps tin* men
have a few rights yet coining to them a
Missouri paper notes that. “A man can’t
sell his house and lot without his wife’s
consent hut he must pay her bills what-
ever they are. If lie deserts her. she can
jug him: it she deserts him In* has t »
fake his medicine. If he jilts her. she
can mulc t him: if sin* jilts him. In* gets
l In* laugh. If he dies sin* gets the prop
erty: if she dies he gets the funeral hill.
If he whips her he gets the whipping
post; if sin* hits him with a skillet the
world concludes he deserved it. And
still the women want their rights." Port
Arthur News.

To realize how complete a revolution
has taken place at Washington during
five vears requires an effort of flu* imag-
ination. For i m* thing a single act of
Wilson’s tin* change In* h is effected by
his appointments in the government of
the District of Columbia is alone
enough to mark his administration as
progressive. The government of Wash-
ington Mas a stand pat tradition. Eur a
'generation it reflected the wishes and in-
terests of a little group of politicians
bunkers real estate dealers and public
service corporations. Todav it is said
that a majority of the congressional com
miller in tin* District of C lumhia are
believers in tin* single* tax. The same
is said to he true of a majority of the
commissioners and of the assessors.—Col-
lier's. *

TYPE AND EYESIC.IIT.
The inlluenee of h oks upon eyesight
partieularh the sight of the young is
discussed in a report submitted this
month by a committee of the British as
social ion. headed by Dr. <5. A. Auden. In
treating the quality of print the report
says: "The type should be clean cut and
well defined Condensed or compressed
type should m t be used as breadth is
even more important than height. The
contrast between the finer and the heav-
ier strokes should not lie great for hair
strokes are ditlicult to see. On the other
hand a very heavy faced type sutlers in
legibility through domination of the
white in spaces as for example when the
space in the upper half . f the e is re
duced to a white dot. In an ideal typo
the whiles and blacks are well balanced
in each letter and it is easy to discrim-
inate between e. c. and o. and to recognize
in nil. nu. iiv. w and in. The general
form of the letters should be-broad and
square rather than elongated vertically:
thus the letter o should approach the
circular shape.”—New York Times.
Corpus Christi is preparing for a big
celebration to be held on Christmas day
in honor of the completion of the San
Antonio. Uvalde and (lulf railway int >
that citv. The line will connect San An-
tonio with the Ctiilf of Mexico.
San Antonio will soon be able t » boast
one of tin* finest theatres in the South
as the Majestic playhouse is rapidly
nearing completion. This show place
will probably be opened to tin* public
December 1st.
