CARELESS DRIVING
Brownsville has its element of
careless auto drivers who apparently
care nothing for traffic regulations
or the safety of the public. East
driving on the narrow streets of the
city is in itself extremeliy danger-
ous but when drivers eut across eor-
■ ners and make turns at high speed
without honking a horn or other-
wise warning pedestrians they are
guilty of criminal carelessness. Ac-
cidents are becoming more nad more
frequent on the streets in Browns-
ville and the highways adjoining the
city and though no deaths or serious
injuries have resulted it was merely
chance which Jtas prevented sev-
eral smashups from becoming tra-
gedies.
The great majority of •accidents
are unavoidable it is true but there
are too many which are avoidable
which are due to absolute careless-
ness on the part of drivers. The
streets in the business districts of a
city are not intended to be used
as speedways and pedestrians are
at least entitled to know if a ear in-
tends to turn the corner they are
about to cross.
Yesterday a woman with a baby-
in her arms started to cross the
street at 12th and Washington and
a car coming down Washington
street at a high rate of speed started
to make the turn at the same time
without sounding its horn or giving
a warning of any kind. The woman
did not see her danger until the chi
was almost upon her and by n des- j
perate effort managed to save her- '
self and child. The automobile j
whizzed by almost grazing her—and
the driver laughed.
A stiff fine a jail sentence and
the refusal of a driver’s license
would rot he sufficient punishment
for a driver of that character. He
is a potential murderer and the pub-
lic is not safe while be is at liberty. \

Democratic leaders in Texas have i
again shown their good judgment by
refusing to permit the party to be-
come the tool of any organization'
class faction or sect. The demo-
cratic party is distinctly the people's
■ party- representative of the ideals
which should appeal to all loyal Am-
ericans and to lower its standards
by making it the announced oppon-
ent of any non-political organiza
tion would have been the height of
folly. It is true we may have many-
diverse opinions in regard to va-
rious secret organizations or reli-
.feious denominations but those opin-
ions are purely personal and have no
place in the platform of a great
party which represents the funda-
mental political precepts upon
which American liberty was founded.
Leading republican newspapers in
the north are beginning to realize
that the campaign they waged
against the Fordney tariff bill is due
to have a “back kick” at the Nov-
• ambci election and they are mak-
•
I
tng strenuous efforts to get under
| cover and bolster up the waning
power of the republican party in
their respective states. Papers like
the Chicago Tribune are now main-
taining a “dignified silence” in re-
gard to the tariff which a few weeks
ago they were denouncing as the
most outrageous imposition ever
placed upon the consumers of the
United States. However their vigor-
ous fight against the tariff bill har
had the effect of arousing the elec-
torate ol* the doubtful states in the
north to the fact that the republican
party has again proved its utter dis-
regard for platform pledges.
Jazz lands are encountering much
difficulty in “educating” the peo-
ple of Mexico to a point where they
will appreciate jazz. This may be
accounted for by the inherent love
for good music which practical!*;
every Mexican citizen displays when
ever they have the opportunity.
Mercedes gained a great amount
of well deserved advertising as a re-
sult of the big S. O. S. celebration
on Labor Day nearly all daily news-
papers of South Texas carrying long
descriptions of the event. And in-
cidentally the entire Valley profits
by reason of the advertising.
Now that the McCormicks* matri-
monial ventures have ceased to in-
terest the public the big dailies are
hauling the ex-kaiser into the matri-
monial limelight.
Senator LaFollette carried Wis-
consin by a two-to-one majority at
the republican primaries. Which goes
to show that the Harding “old
guard"' has lost another state.

PORT ISABEL’S DAY COMING
t Houston Post)
One of The Post's sprightly contem-
poraries in “The \ alley the Donna
News has heard that some Corpus
Christi capitalist recently remarked
"We will kill the Point Isabel port
a **
pt oject.
The Post prefers to believe that it*
contemporary has been misinformed
for surely that would be a most un-
giacious ungenerous and narrow view
for Corpus Christi to take.
If anybody made such a remark he
was not authorised to apeak for Corpus
Christi.
Trade held by compulsion is not se-
cure. because it is divested of the good
will of those in unwilling bondage.
Not only should Point Isabel be de-
veloped. but the project should have
the sympathy and aid of all the Texas
ports for the potential benefits it will
bug to Texas benefits in which the
whole State will share. Port Isabel
differs from other ports in the respect
that it has not only a wonderful Texas
hinterland that will one day be highly
developed but it has a still greater
Mexican hinterland.
Point Isabel is destined to become
an international port with a land-locked
harbor upstream to Brownsville and
Matamoros and it will be the logical
outcome of the development of the Rio
Grande Valley of both Texas and
Mexico.
A port and harbor near the mouth of
the R:o Grande are sure to come and
Port Isabel's day is coming just as Sab-
ine Pass' day came just as Houston’s
day came just as Freeport's day came
just as Corpus Christi’* day has almost
come.
Nature fi*.-s the harbor sites and
men have only to improve what nature
ha- marked out for them to do.
Nature has proclaimed a great port
and harbor for the Lower Rio Grande
which will play its part in the develop-
ment of the Garden Spot of the World
otherwise known a* Grand OKI Texas.
Houston will he glad to see the Port
Isabel project succeed and will lend
a hand: so will Corpus Christi. The
Post is willing to bet on that.

NKVV YORK. Sept. 7. Raccoons in
the place of Pekingese! That sounds
us if it were indeed entering upon a
more heroic age. Rut it's what is pre-
dicted for us this coninig year. The
smartly dressed woman so we are told
will shortly he leading a full-sized rac-
coon about on a leash and ca'lling it all
the pet names given to lap dogs in
the past. A regular raccoon ranch has
^ been established down west of Sheridan
Square and the owner is already do ng
a thriving business he declares. "Quiet.
! decorous playful. affectionate and |
j clean" is the praise he gives them
aside from which he points out how
much they dress up a woman’s costume.
So we may as well get ready to admit
them into our city lives.

Edith Wharton's new novel “The 1
(•limpses of the Moon.” continues to he
i the phenomenal best-seller of the day.
i You hear discussions of it all the way
from luncheon purties at the Kits to
the dinners in the quick lunch rooms!
The publishers the other day announced
that re-orders from booksellers for the
novel were pouring in at the rate of
j 2.1*00 a day. Two days later they had
to run large advertisements retracting
their statement a check having reveal-
ed that the reorders received to date
struck a daily average of 3.214 copies
instead of only 2000. You know how
interested the world is in the doings of ;
smart society and not only is Mrs.
Wharton on the inside but in “The
(•limpses of the Moon” she shows with
extraordinary frankness the facts of •
the social world. Of course in the city
here we are much interested in the
novel’s ruthless picture ol the Fifth
Avenue folks. The big papers are ask-
ing on their editorial pages. i> high
society really as depraved as the !
W bar.on novel shows it to he?

VS hat do you suppose is the popular
pastime on our close by beaches this
summer? Bridge; of ail things! Not
enough long cold evenings in the winter
to he devoted to it; not enough dull
afternoons for us to pass at bridge
tabies as December descends upon us.
No. we get into our lathing suns this
summer get out beside the luring waves
and then cross our feet and play bridge.
Somehow nothing has depressed me
quite so much as the sight of whole
lows of girls and women bidding “two
hearts' while the ocean purled tempt-
ingly at their very toes and got no
response.

If iniitut on means all that it is sup-
posed to mean Manhattan is certainly
do.ng ebeissance to the film city of
the Pacific coast. Every third person
who starts a business seems over-
whelmed with the charms of its name.
Of course there are Hollywood garages
in New York Hollywood apartments .
Hollywood millinery Shops. flower
j stores and cafeterias and yesterday I
came upon the Hollywood delicatessen.
Evidently the business man looks uj>on
Hollywood publicity with much more
approval than have the worried residents
of that community.

Editor* can write plays. "Fools
Errant ' by Louis Shipman editor of
Life proves this. It is an “eternal tri-
angle "story but is isn't hackneyed in
spite of that and it pulls on your sym-
pathies in more than one direction at 1
once which always seems to me a test
of the drama. The production might
have been announced as an “all star
s
cast." without any difficulty. Alex-
andra Carlisle. Lucille Wat-on. Vincent
Serrano and Cyril Keightley are enough
to justify that if almost any four peo-
ple would be. I should say. “Fools
Errant" is at the Maxine Flliott
Theatre.

There are times when even a gover-
nor has no comeback to the Comment of
a mere woman; and governors as well i
as alderman just have to become ac-
customed gradually to the realization
i that women can muster up considerable
i power nowadays. .Mr*. Henry O.'Have-
> meyer. widow of the Sugar King drew
amusement from the men as well as
i women in her audience the other even-
ing when she told of an interview with
; a governor of this state. She was
j urging upon the importance of a err- I
! tain measure. “My dear worpan" said !
he " > ou never could get a man to pass1
that law." “We don't want men to pass
it.’* Mrs. Havemeyer retorted. “We
want women to pass it."
