Bewis Favors New District Court to In-
** * *
elude Cameron County
To The Voters of Cameron County
T«uk;
As a candidate for the office of I{ep_
vC'ontaiivc for tlie T.'ird District of
Texas. I feel thut the titters of the dis-
trict froHi whom I seek to he elected are
i n tilled to I-now my position on the ques-
tion as to whether or not I stand for the
creation of a new judicial district to in-
clude Cameron County a:d if it meets
v ith the approval of the majority of ths
] eople of Cameron and Willacy Count-
ies. also to include Willacy County.
I have heeii asked n few times by peo-
ple who are apparently interested in this
question to state m.v position. In order
that there may he no uiistinderstand-
ing on my part and that the voters in
tb*» coining July primaries may under.
Ktund m.v positiou with reference to this
initt'T. I wish to state that I favor and
HtunJ ready to support a hill creating a
in w jmlieiai district out of Cameron
County and if tin* people of Willacy
County are desirous of having ttint
county placed in said district. I have i.*>
objection to doing so.
My reasons for cutertaii ing this view
Mrv that my conception of our tiovern-
no nt is that our CovCrnme U is suppos- |
ed to furnish constituted courts where 1
lit .gam* who have their differences may
fcuhnit their «fl*es for adjudication and
that this contemplates that the litig-
ants may go to the court and submit
their controversies ui«l have the same
adjudicated within a reasonable time;
that anything short of this is a failure
<»n the part of the State to perform its
lull duty 'oward its citizens.
If we may judge the future by the I
present and the past we shall expect
nnd ha\e a right to expect that for
tome years to iurte there wfll* he eon-
. . . _.
trovorsies arising between the various
1'itiv.ena of this Maio and County to l><
submitted iu the courts for adjudication.
If Ibis he true then we have a situation
at the present—and it bus existed fm
a nueihcr of years 11 the pust—wherein
oUr district fsmrt docket is so congest-
ed (hat v.tli tin- time allowed by law
fir tin- district court within which to
transact hesincss in this county i* re-
quire*. in the i soul course in which
cases rri disposed of from one to fivt
or six ytacs and iu many instance-
great deal longer far a party litigant
to obtain justid- in tin District Court
in ( umeron County. 'lhiH condition is
not due to the failure of any one partic-
ular individual or officer or officers to
perform this or their duty but it is a re-
sult of the development in recent years
and the coming in of people which
bring about misunderstandings and the
arising o.’ controversies which produced
a great deal and will continue to pro-
duce a great deal of litigatiou. The
•■ourt has not had sufficient time in
Cameron County within which to dis-
pose of the eases and for these reasons
l believe that it is n matter of right and
justice uot only to the oeopic who now
have cases pending iu the District Court
of Cameron County and 1 am advis«*ti
that there are several hundred eases j
now pending iu the District Court of |
Cameron Coituty but also litigants who
should file their cases at anv time in the
fut lire to have the same disposed of I
within a reasornblc time end to do s<» it
necessarily in my mind involves and ;
demands the creation of a new judicial
district fi>r Cameron County.
1 nder the law regulating and prescrib-
ing the procedure utid order of the dis-
position of cases pending in the Dis. |
trict Courts of this state. it is re-
quired that the cases shall In* disposed ;
«if or at h*a^t t'ue part* li.igniit* hav*
the right to have rases disposed * f in the
courts in the order in whi b they are fil-
*d; that is the fiist ease shall In* tried
fir*-* and the last ease shall l>e tried
las*. A great ma: y people realizing thm
to he the procedure as required by law
have been are now and will in the fu-
ture takfrg advantage of the situation by
cheating wronging and defrauding their
fellow citizens and at the time they do
so they feel that they arc in a measure
protected against being brought to jus-
lie**. Tin* time has conn* that a great
•>:*pv p-*o* !e will suffer almost any kind
of a wrong injury or indignity at the
hnn Is of people w ho are disposed to
inflict the same without seeki.'g redress
in tin* !>istrict t'oiirf of Cameron t min-
ty. owing to the fact that the long de-
lay of trial and the necessary expense
Incur-*.* at -nc-h term the court meets in
coming to and attending the court and i
getting ready for trial is almost a*-
great us the wrong or injury inflicted
for which tin* party is seeking relief and
as a result of this condition in my
opinion a great inn \ people have been
outraged in Cameron County by defraud-
ers and wrong-doers wlm have escaped
justide at the hands of the courts and in
order to relieve tin* situation a** for me
f see no recourse other than tin- crea-
tion of a judicial district out of Cnm-
tmi County and for this I stand firmly
and if elected. I will us< my Influence

cover in it bit schedule which hears only

against the Anieiiinn farmer in favor
of the American maufacttircr.
I iiave always voted for a revenue du-
ty on the raw material of the farmer
when there v as a duty n:' the finished
product of the manufacturer.
The policy of the I >eni«*oratic party.
fr<tni its fouii'latiou to date as expre*.
stil in National and State platform*
hns been to oppose a protective tariff.
Tin main justification for a tariff is
to ^provide the necessary funds for the
auptHiit of the <ioveriinent.
The primary purpose of mr votes i
therefore lias always been to place a
revenue duty on practically nil articles
of iui|M>rtation.
I have declined to vote for a purely
protective duty on any article of im.
portal inn.
I have endeavored to be just to both
tin* American producer and the Ameri-
can consumer.
The tariff law is National in char-
acter and reaches the home of every cit.
izen.
My course has been to make its bur.
dens as nearly uniform as possible and
t.i distribute any benefits as equitably
as practicable.

MEMBERS OF JOCKEY
CLUB PRESENT HORSE
TO QUEEN OF SERBIA
" r
IRv The Associated Press)
BUCHAREST. Rumania July 12. ‘
—Members of the local Jockey Club
recently assembled six splendid hors-
es and asked Princess Marie now
Queen of Serbia to select one as a
wedding present. With the Princess
came her mother Queen Marie of
Rumania and Llena the younger
daughter.
After seeing the horses Princess
Marie was unable to choose between
two. “Well let us present you the
span" gallantly offered the mem-
bers and the offer was accepted.
Then it was remembered that the
day was the birthday of Princess
Llena and she was offered a horse
which she selected and accepted.
Finally it seemed ungraceful not to
offer a horse to the Queen who is
a splendid horsewoman and this of-
fer she acepted. Had the King been
present doubtless he would have
been offered the two remaining
horses.

PASTOR DEFINES BUNK
AS LUCIOUS JUICY
WORD; URGES ITS USE
(By The Associated Press)
(•ARY INK. July l-—The word
“hunk” was described as a “luscious
juicy” word and lauded as a rebuke
o “this smoke screen of empty words
that hang about us." by the Rev. James
Foster rector of Christ Episcopal
hurch here in a parish message urging
restraint in speech.
The Rev. Mr. Foster conceded tha*.
“babies and sunsets fire sales and
circus parades must be described in
"sescendo style.” but he asserted that
“if we cannot stop the flood we can at
least refrain from swelling it.”
To seek truth und restraint in speech
Dr. Foster held to he a Christain duty.
“Bunk! That's a word for you! he
!ec!ared. “A luscious juicy onomato-
poeic word; that dams pretention in
ts utterance and rebukes with a smack-
ng gesture the vacuity of the spell-
>ind» r. More power to it! May its use
ncrease not as the mere coup de
jrace of conversational retort but as
th» critical estimate of good people of
this smoke screen of empty words that
hangs around us.
“There was a time when handing out
the bunk was limited to a few choice
spirits who worked at it with artistic
fervor and some skill. We could stand
it then for it was well done and we
ivete not surfeited. Now however there
seems to he no limit to the number of
those who use it. and no restraint to
their zeal. As a result the resources of
language are wasted by these steam- |
shovel intelligences who heap up words
onto a foundation of truth that some-
times is pretty thin.
“Of course it is hardly to be expected
WAS A “BEAR CAT”
“My wife was never an angel but
after five years of liver and stomach
trouble she became a ‘be.tr cat.’ No
doctor or medicine helped her and!
we thought there was no help for!
her. Our grocer told me of Mayr’s
Wonderful Remedy which had help-
ed him for same trouble so I
brought home a bottle but she
promptly threw it out. I got it back
and after a week coaxed her into
taking it. She is now enjoying the
best of health and disposition.” It
is a simple harmless preparation
that removes the catarrhal mucus
from the intestinal tract and allays
the inflammation which causes prac-
tically all stomach liver and intes-
tinal ailments including appendicitis.
One dose will convince or money
refunded. At all drutrtfis’s even -
where.—Advertisement.
