POLITICS IN THE NEW COUNTY
The Herald ha? no desire what- j
ever to interfere in the politics of the |
new county of Willacy but since
this new county has been created
tnainly out of Cameron county we
of what remains of Cameron county
iare bound to feel a fatherly interest
in the affairs of the new county. I
Distressing reports are reaching the
county seat that a real political fight
has been started in the new county.!
one of the type that for so many
years it (hast be confessed held Cam-
eron county back-
Only strife and ill feeling and
lifelong enmity factors that cannot
help but block progress and growth
5n any new section-will be the result.
Willacy county is too small or rather
too sparsely settled just at this tima
to make office holding more worth
While than the growth and expansion
agriculturally and from a business
standpoint which will result .from a
spirit of cooperation—a 'spirit that
will cause the people to work to-
gether'for the best interests of the
new county.
. Cameron county wishes the new
county well. The people of this
county want to see it grow and pros-
per to become one of the greatest
counties of this favored part of the
world. And so wishing it hopes that
the people of Willacy county will not
allow politics to split them wide apart
for years to come. j

Billy Willman has been exposed.
He posed for a photographer. The
evidence has come to lirWt in the
8an Antonio Express which carries
his photographh in connection with
the convention of the Texas Pharma-
ceutical convention of which he is
\Viee-president. Of course it is quite
apparent that the photograph! wak
taken many years ago but that fact
will not be field against Mr. Willman.
It’s just that one want? to Teel that
Mr- Willman is not different from
other people on the photograph ques-
tion. .

• WORTH THE PRICE.
Whatever energy trouble and ex-
pense McAllen went to in her effort
to secure the convention of the Tex-
as press association and to entertain
that organization is brine renaid a
hundred times by the splendid pub-
licity that is being received all over
the state.
The prevailing belief in the Valley
that Texans generally speaking are
quite unfamiliar with the industrial
and agricultural growth that has tak-
en place in this section of the state
in the past fifteen years has born con-
firmed by the expressions of pleasure
and surprise that are being manifest-
ed in the editorial columns of hun-
dreds of Texas newsapers the editors
of which were delegates to the con-
vention last week.
Comment generally in these news-
papers is that not in the history of
the meetings of the press association
has it been so wonderfully enter-
tained as it was on its visit to the
Valley thus again proving the hos-
pitality and cordialitv of the pcopl“
of the Valley and their desire that
everyone shall know and like the Val-
ley.
Every day papers from up the state
are reaching the editorial desks of the
Valley newspapers all earrying art-
icles praising in glowing terms the
Valley and its people.
OTHER PAPERS
* HARVEY OR HARDING.
(St. Louis Globe Democrat)
Colonel George Harvey American
ambassador to Great Britain in his
extraordinary Speech of last week
said among other distasteful things:
“Not a few remain convinced that
we sent our young soldiers across
to sav^ tty* kingdom (Great Britain)
Prance and Italy. That is not the
fact. We pent'^iem solely ty save
the Unlte’d States of America and
«o«t reluctantly and laggardly at
i
{.hat. We were not ‘too proud to]
fight’ whatever that may mean. We
were afraid not to fight. It is true
that we went into the war reluctantly.
It is true that we were long in com-
ing to a decision. It is true that the
adoption of an unrestricted submar-
ine policy by Germany was the act
that caried us into the war. We went
to war primarily to#protect and to
maintain our rights on the high seas
which were being imperiled by Ger-
many’s indiscriminate destruction.
It is not true that we went to war to
‘save’ the United States of America.
At the time we entered there were
few who believed the United States
was in the slightest danger. It wa« not
until ever a year after our entry
when Germany’s last desperate drives
were alarming the world that pos-
sibility of peril to ourseive* was rec-
ognized- We did not' fight to save
ourselves and having no reason for
fear ij is absurdly false to say that
we were afraid not to fight. If it had
not been for America’s condemnation
of Germany’s purpose and methods.
If it had not been for American sym-
pathy for the cause of the allies if
it had not been for the American con-
viction. growing stronger every day.
that civilization and democracy were
imperiled the United States would
not have gone into the war. for nil
its material interests all its selfish
interests were against it. It was
growing prodigiously rich from the
conflict in Europe. There was in
1917 no serious menace to that ac-
cumulation. nor to the continuance
of its growth. Yet deliberately we
sacrificed all that and more fai
more loaded ourselves with debts
that will burden a generation and
spilled the blood of thousands of our
sons." . %
But what does President Harding
sav about this? His answer comes
with speed and the emphasis of an
official rebuke. Did he speaking
yesterday over the returned bodie-
of o.OOO of our boys who sacrificed
their lives in France say that they
were “afraid not to fight” — th#4
they had been sent solely to “save”
the United States? Hardly. This i«
what he said: “These bodies are hut
the clav tenements once possessed of
souls which flamed in patriotic de-
votion lighted new hopes on the bat
tie grounds of civilization and in
their sacrifices sped on to accuse
autocracy before the court of eternal
justice." And airain he .-aid: “These
heroes w*er» sacrificed in the supreme
conflict of all human history. They
saw democracy challenged and de-
fendded it. They saw America affront-
ed and resented it. They saw nur na-
tion’s rights imperiled ami stamper
those rights with a j»ew sanctity and
renewed security. ** No suggestion
there to “save” ourstdves of cow
nrdlv fighting because w« were
“afraid not to fight.” Which is
right—Harvey or Harding? - The
question needs no nn-wer in the Unit-
ed States of America. There was a
measure of self-interest in th? course
of America as there wa-* in that of
Great Britain and of France hut
with us. as with them there wa- ar
aroused national soul inspiringAo con-
duct and to deed*that had no thought
of self nor of fear and it was that
giving of soul-- tha4 won the war.

Young Theodore Roosevelt and

Rockaway Point is one suburb
which is run on an efficient plan.
What one loses in time by commuting
to and front there he make? up in
general economy of space and oc-
casion once he gets there. For in-
stance: the chief butcher shop is also
the chief ''cabaret. Once the day’s
orders of lamb chops and sirloins are
filled the piano is pushed out from
behind the ice box the musicians are]
assembled and the merry whirl is on. i
The saw-dust of the butcher shop]
floor is perfect! good saw dust for tho|
dance hall floor. Nothing is wasted
in Rockaway.

Then’s something refreshing about
an expression of good red-blooded
wrath and an indication to direct ac-
tion on the part of a supposedly ju-
dicial minded occupant of the judge’s
bench. The other day. two |»*rt \. n '
men amused themselves on th. ab-
way train by sticking their feet in

There may not be many horses left
on Manhattan Island but there are
•oine remarkablely well trained ones
tt any rate. They make up in e<iuea-
tipn what they lack in numbers. In
i cn*equ>nee a rider needs a strong
: hand and a firm seat to ride the
| hired horses of a big local riding
j academy when h»* attempt* to go;
more than an*hour’s distance from the!
table. The rates are $5 for two
hours an<l the hordes have learned
‘o judge the distance so as to go an
hour’s ride out and one hour back. If
the rider cares to proceed farther he
ha* something of a fight on hi* hand*.
“I get so many inexperienced riders.”
*\'dain> the manager “and they have
little sense of direction or of time
•iml if it were not for the good m- »se
»f the horses the riders would realise
Vo late that they were beyond their
‘ime limiT and come thundering in
with winded hor.*es. I h» h >r
nnnage the ride themselves and the
••’•Vrs have little to do with it.. In
that way they protect the rider*
themselves and itie. ”
