Election of Portes Gil
Election of Portes Gil former governor of the stale
of Tamaulipas as provisional president of Mexico to
hold office until his successor is elected and takes of-
fice on February 5 1930 marks the ascendancy of
civil government in Mexico and the wane of militarism.
Gil is not an army officer. His bid for fame was
not made in the ranks or in military commands. He
proved himself a competent executive during the years
he governed the state of Tamaulipas and ns secretary
of state under Calles. He is the type of man who will
solve the problems of the southern republic the type
competent to lead to eliminate military control and
establish the republic upon a solid foundation.
There it no man in Mexico more popular than
Tories Gil. His popularity is not due to military
genius or ability «s a military organizer or leader. It
is solely due to his ability as an executive his broad
views hs sympathy wth nd knowledge of the common
people of Mexco and ther problems.
The Mexican people realize that in Gil they have a
leader who will not plunge them into domestic or in-
ternational difficulties for the purpose of adding to
military fame. They know his objective is to firmly
establish a foundation for future develofment of the
immense national resources to education the masses
build schools and highways; in fact to modernize Mcx-
ieo and develop the county upon much the same basis
as the United States.
Between Fortes Gil and the American people es-
pecially those on the Tamaulipas border there has al-
ways been a strong bond of friendship and as secre-
tary of state he has repeatedly proved his desire to
strengthen the bonds of friendship and commerce be-
tween the two republics. Election of Gil will result
in further elimination of the old prejudices suspicions
and distrust which have been rapidly disappearing in
recent years and which under the leadership of such
men as Gil will soon be obliterated.
See Big Demand For Citrus Fruit
There will be a dearth of grapefruit in the northern
markets this winter is the prediction of New York and
Chicago dealers. Torto Rico grapefruit the first of
which was received in New York September 10 has
been completely destroyed reports from the island
state. Florida reports citrus fruit loss amounting to
approximately 2000000 boxes the major part of which
is grapefruit.
The market editor of the New York Herald-Tribune i
commenting on the eitrus fruit situation says: “Our
immediate supply of cringes will not be affected since
wo are eating chiefly California Valencias. But Flor-
ida citrus groves were damaged of course and it is a
dour probability that everything in the eitrus line will
be extraordinarily high this season.”
According to preliminary estimates th? loss of
grapefruit due to the ravages of the West Indian hur-
ricane will run between 1200000 and 1.300000 boxes
with approximately 1000.000 boxes of oranges de-
stroyed. California reports heavy production of
oranges and there will be no material shortage of that
fruit but there will be a shortage of grapefruit east-
ern and northern dealers assert.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley grapefruit growers
will profit from this shortage. Valley production this
year will range between 3000 and 4.000 cars accord-
ing to estimates of dealers and this volume should
bring considerable revenue to Valley growers. It will
also give them the opportunity to establish new mar-
kets which will aid in disposing of the heavier produc-
tion of future years.
Valley growers have an opportunity to firmly en-
trench themselves in oid markets and open new ones
and to do this it is very necessary that no immature
fruit be permitted to leave the Valley; that all fruit
should be well graded cleaned and packed in a manner
that will make it attractive to the trade. Unless this
is done the advantage gained as a result of conditions
in the storm area will prove only temporary and will
have no effect so far as widening the market for Vat-
ley fruit is concerned.
Growers should carefully refrain from being
"stampeded” into placing immature fruit on the mar-
ket. The early demand will be heavy as the Porto
Rico fruit which usually supplies the September and
early October markets is no longer a factor. There
will be n tendency to get the fruit onto the market as
early as possible and there can he no objection to this
program if the fruit is matured and up to the Valley
standard.
Hundreds of thousands of consumers will test the
Valley grapefruit for the first time this season. It
should be the objective of Valley growers and packers
to make them permanent customers. If they are sup-
plied mature well packed Valley fruit the qu^ity will
be sufficient to assure future sales; but if the fruit
is not up to the recognized standard of quality it will
serve to close to this section the markets which must
be established to assure profitable returns on the
heavy produetiog of the future.
LAWS SHOULDN'T BE NEW JOKES
(Corpus Christi Caller J.
Commenting upon the suggestion that automobile
drivers in Texas be licensed after submitting to an
examination as to their phy sical and mental capabili-
ty the Brownsville Herald suggests that it would be
an excellent thing “unless like most of the other high-
way regulations it is treated cas one of the ‘jokes’ of
the legislature.”
“Texas’ highway laws.” the Herald continues perti- !
ticntly it seems to us “are obsolete inconsistent and
ineffective. If the state legislature really desires to
remedy the situation the best way to start would be to
repeal all laws now alleged to be in force and pass new
ones starting with the licensing feature making a
non-political commission responsible for enforcement.”
It is extremely improbable that there ran be fouad
anywhge in the state of Texas a highway officer who
is familiar with the laws pertaining to the move-
ment of traffic. It is improbable too. that more than
1 per cent of the people who drive automobiles know
•
onc-tenth of the regulation* which they ir« supposed
to observe. Knowing them it is en even bet that not
more than 1 per cent of the drivers observe
them.
The headlight law is an excellent example of the
laws which have been passed. Good in itself scien-
tifically worked out it has been rendered almost worse
than useless because of general disregard of its pro-
visions. Owners of automobiles pay their quarters- at
the first of the year to have their lights tested—often
perfunctorily—simply because that is a prerequisite to
obtaining a license. Then it is an easy matter to ad-
just the lights so that they give the greatest illumina-
tion even though the adjustment may result in blind-
ing approaching drivers. So easy that it is often done.
A few of the highway laws arc fairly well observed
largely because the motorists are convinced that ob-
servance of a few fundmaental rules are essential and
not because they have any fear of being called to ac-
count for not observing them. The fewer the laws
generally speaking the better. One single law affect-
ing careless driving might well be sufficient for the
average driver.

BRIDGES *
Bridges are among the most powerful and pictur-
esque gestures of man. When semi-civilized man
learned to bridge the rivers that had stopped the on-
ward marching of his ancestors he achieved a victory
that made him proud.
Every community is proud of its bridges. I remem-
ber that as a child I shared the pride of the Kansas
farming community in which I was reared in the Hy-
draulic avenue bridge. It was just a wooden wagon
bridge across the Arkansas river. I suppose it was
half a mile long and there was a tradition in the neigh-
borhood that it was the longest wooden wagon bridge
in the world. Every little community has these tradi-
tions about something that is the greatest in the world.
I have watched for a year and a half the rebuild-
ing of a portion of High Bridge in New York City.
Every night and morning on my way to and from my
office in downtown Manhattan 1 transfer from one
train to another at High Bridge station. I fee! a per-
sonal proprietorship in High Bridge.
The bridge was built about the time of the Civil
War to carry New York’s water supply across the Har-
lem river. It has a narrow roadway and has not been
used for traffic for generations because there are no
streets leading to or from i». It doesn't even figure
as a water cirrier any longer as much larger tunnels
than the one under the roadway of High Bridge are
now required for the city’s water supply.
But the people of New York arc so proud of th3
beautiful old stone arch bridge that when it was found
necesrary to take the piers out of the river to make
room for increasing water-borne traffic the public
would not stand for destruction of High Bridge. Two
miirion dollars have been spent in removing the piers
from the main waterway and substituting a beautiful
span. Now the bridge is again complete but useless.
The old stone arches on both sides of the stream are
preserved and the steel arch over the water doesn’t
! damage the beauty of the old; bridge very much.
Every traveler has his favorite bridges. And stay-
at-hones are proud of their own bridges and also of
the great bridges treir countrymen have built else-
where. Brooklyn Bridge and the bridges near Niagara
Falls are more or less the property of all Amerirans.

RIGHTS OF STATES SEEN VANISHING
By JAMES M. BECK .
Congressman From Phiadelphia.
iJames Montgomery Beck was born at Philadel-
phia. Pa. July 9 1861. Admitted to the bar in
1884 he was chosen United States attorney for the
erstern district of Pennsylvania from 1896 to 1900
and assistant aKorney general of the United tSates
for the following three years. He was a member
of two New York law firms from 190;i to 1921
when he was appointed solicitor general of the
United States. Serving until 1925 he resumed his
law practice and last year was elected to congress
from Pennsylvania on the republican ticket. He
has written several books and is widely known as a
public speaker).
Under the federal power to tax and appropriate !
money the reserved rights of the states are vanishing
rapidly and the states are selling their birthright for
a mess of pottage.
And the general belief that the supreme court or
the United States has plenary power to prevent viola-
tions of the constitution has lulled the American pco- ]
pie into a ful-e sense of security as to the maintenance
of their constitution.
No constitution can endure unless the people have
a real sense of what Grotc once called “constitutional
inotality” the self-restraint which accepts the wise
limitations upon their powers. Unless they have the
! spirit to resist the abuses of government any consti-
tution will sooner or later become a scrap of paper.
Moreover if a constitution is to survive there must
be a correspondence between its philosophy and t.ie
1 moral instincts of the people.
If Franklin were to revisit the “glimpse of the
| moon” and ask himself whether the sun of the consti-
tution were rising or setting I think his invincible
optimism would be sorely tried.
With our genius for specialisation the congress-
man today says that the constitutionality of every J
doubtful law is for the supreme court to detereminc.
The congress once the greatest forum for debates m
constitutional questions has now ceased to discuss the
extent of its powers.
Is our constitution under which we have grown so
great worth saving? Who will deny it?
Without it we would be a wholly centralized state.
And. with so great and varied a population and so di-
versified interests the time would come that the
American people would be as little content to be wholly
ruled from Washington as the colonists were to be
wholly ruled from Westminster hail.
The constitution cannot save itself. Only the
American people can preserve it.
We must dedicctc ourselves to this great duty so
that we may in the language of the noble preamble
“secure the blersings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity.”
A cheerful man i* one who knows it is impossible
for things to be as bad *s he thinks they are.
Lots of people drive as if they were going for the
doctor. And some who don’t knowr it really are.
When you see a man all sleepy and worn nut he
may have a bad baby or good radio.
When a man starts out to forget the past he usually
succeeds only in forgetting its debts.
Health hint: In dropping remarks be rarefui whom
they hit.

CHAPTER XXI
For a moment Tony Hull was
stunned by the suddenness of Lew
Davidsqn's words by the ultimatum
conti ined in them but he managed
to keep his temper. His first im-
pulse. of course was to accept the
challenge refuse to direct Irene in
the part and thus automatically ter-
minate his conection with Davidson
Productions. The thought of wast-
ing his time trying to force into
prominence a woman whom he knew
to be incompetent was distasteful to
him in the highest degree. And there
were other reasons for his distaste—
reasons he had hoped would perma-
nently remained buried in the ob-
scurity of a decent oblivion. So the
little fraud had been clever enough
to pull the wool over Davidson’s eyes
— to convince him that she was as
sweet as guileless as innocent as
-he pretended? Tony knew better.
Cost what it might he felt a momen-
tary impulse to open Davidson's eyes
—tell him the truth.
"I don't know what Miss Shirley
ha* toll you about herself. Lew*’ he
said "but f happen to know some-
thing about her and I can tell you—”
He got no further. Davidson raised
his hand with the exclamation of
anger.
"I ain't asked you to tell me any-
thing about Miss Shirley.** he roared.
"Anything I want to know I can find
out inyself. All I asked you to do is
to carry out my orders.”
Tony’s cheeks grew suddenly crim-
son. Never before had Lew David-
son treated him as a mere employe.
Their relations had always been those
of two good friends working to-
gether for the best results. It hurt
him immeasurably—hurt his pride.
An angry retort came to his lips
but thought of Jane Dare caused him
torepress it. If he left the Davidson
company he would leave Jane—
would no longer be at her side to
guide and help her. After all w-hy
not humor Davidson in his madness;
Irene would prove quickly enough
by her own deficiencies the folly of
trying to make a silk purse out of
a sow's ear. Let the Old Man learn
his lesson.
"Very well Mr. Davidson.” he said
quietly. "1 don’t think that Miss
Shirley is equsd to the part but if
you do. I'll give her every oppor-
tunity to prove it—to confirm your
judgment.” He rose new thoroughly
in command of himself. “Do you
want me to rut Miss Dare back in
her old part?”
"Sure I do. And Pm mighty glad
Tany to hear you talking sense. No
reason why you and me should quar-
rel.” He took a box of cigars from
a drawer and passed it across the
desk. “Maybe I’m wrong about this
Miss Shirley. I ain’t claiming to be
God you understand. Sometimes I
make a mistake maybe. But as I
told Sam Kessler don't forget 1 picked
Alice Carroll off the Royal lot when
everybody said she was apple sauce
you understand and nfade a star of
her. didn’t I? A fellow has got to
back his own judgment in business
and I’m backing mine. If T lose it’s
my money I’m losing—don't forget
that. Now this girl Miss Shirley is
hurt see. a big cut and bruise on the
face where that hell-cat hit her. and
I can’t sa yfor sure whether she’s
going to be in share to act tomorrow
or not. If she ic. I'll send her down.
If she isn't go ahead with them ex-
teriors you got to make with Mi*s
Dare. Get busy now boy”—he
slapned Tony on the shoulder with
alt his old camaraderie—"we fooled
away enough time already on this
picture. Let’s have some results.”
“All right. Lew.” Tony went to
the door. "It won’t be my fault if
we don’t get them."
Jane whom he telephoned later
took the news with her habitual good
nature.
"Well.” she laughed “so I got fired
and hired again all in one day and
now I’m just where T was before. In
this business one of the first things
to learn. I guess is to keep right on
smiling.”
“Atta girl!” Tony told her. “And
don’t forget you’re not bv any means
just where you were before. You're
a whole lot better off bucking this
little false alarm than yon were try-
ing to outshine an Petros* like Alice
Carroll. Don't we*ken."
“Never." she replied. “Good-bye."
He did not tell her what price in
! humiliation he had paid to remain at)
■ her aide.
• * •
Lew Davidson during the days and
weeks that followed the installation
of Irene Shirley as leading woman in
“Knights and Knaves’* devoted much
of his time and energy to launching
the publicity campaign of his pro-
posed new star.
Ope of his first steps was to dis-
charge Ted Grimes the middle-aged
newspaper man who had for years
handled the company's press work
and replace him by a younger and
much higher priced man named
Benny Evans.
Mr. Evans scorned the title of
press agent and styled himself a
“personality builder” in the manner
of morticians and realtors. He went
about the business of making Irene's
name a household word cs method-
ically as scientifically as though he
had been promoting a new brand of
shaving soap. He held the theory
and experience proved it to be cor-
| rect that the public will buy any-
' thing which is sufficiently advertised
from an automobile to an author a
piano-player to a grand opera star
and usually without regard for merit.
Propaganda wes in his school the
chief requisite for success. “Mutt
inglorious Miltons" might die in the
poorhouse hut the men and women
whose names appeared sufficiently
often in print whose faces stared at
you with sufficient freouency from
the illustrated pages of magazines
rod newspapers could be “sold" to
the public with east to the great
profit of all concerned. It now be-
came Mr. Evans’ business in life to
“sell” Irene Shirlev.

NEW YORK Sept. 27.-!t has al-
ways struck me as being ironic that
all of the praiseful lays about New
York are sung by persons from small
towns. The best novels about New
York life (there are surprisingly
few of them) are from the hands of
persons who sire not New Yorkers.
The New Yorker either agrees with
or is indifferent to all the condem-
natory criticism of his home town
and leaves it for others to do the
defending.
Which observations are prompted
by a letter addressed to this column
from New' Castle. Ind. A short time
ago 1 ventured the observation that
New York was no plaee to sleep (be-
cause of the unceasing noise) and
no place to sit down (because there
are no free public seats). My New
Castle correspondent resents these
slurs upon New York and rushes
to its defense:
“In New York one can go home
if he wants to rest he doesn't have
to lounge around in front of a store.
“New York has big theaters not
dinky ones like here and you can
find a seat without standing a half
hour.
“One of the smallest hotels in New
York has four lounges.
“Long Island isn't Manhattan. . . .
“New York’s Broadway is a Broad-
wav. not a shopping district.
“New York’s a place to stand on
your feet and be awake not asleep.
“In small towns husband and chil-
dren stay in the house and suck
their tongues. In New York the
husbands walk the children.
“Don’t I»t anybody kid you about
New York.”
We herewith offer our New Castle
correspondent a season pass to Cen-
tra! park if he and a companion will
get into seats without bribery in the
Roxy Capitol or Paramount the
largest movie theaters on Broadway
any evening in the week after 7 in
less than a half an hour.
New' York Is a town where folk*
are willing to pay SI for a seat in a
movie theater and wait an hour to
get it. in order to see a picture that
will he at a theater nearer their
home the folowing week for 25 cents.
And as for one being able to go
Hfirre if nne want* to rAt. in New
York home may be from four to 30
t-—:—
miles and from IS minutes to two
hours from the place one gets tired
and wishes there were one of those
friendly benches such as one sees in
small towns.

Thank Public For j
Aid to Hospital
To The Herald:
The Lower Rio Grande Valley
Woman’s Missionary Union togeth-
er with the Valley Baptist hospital
authorities wish to express to the
public and especially the press
sincere appreciation for the coopera-
tion extended during the Tag Day
sale of Sept. 8 which resulted in
tax sales amounting to $1 ">79.63.
with twelve missionary societies un- j
heard from on account of heavy
rains.
The re*-its of this first Tag Day
sale are highly gratifying and will
be the means of administering to
the needs of suffering humanity re-
gardless of race or creed. Hospital
records for one year. Sept. 1 1927 to
Sept. 1 1928. show an expenditure
of 83.626.28 on charitable causes. Of
the 640 patients included in this list
various denominations were repre- j
serted as follows: Baptists 124;
Methodists. 87; Catholics 105: Pres-!
byterians 35; no church preference.
115; children. 25; Jewish Christian
Scientists etc.. 43.
These statistics are given that
those who have contributed so gen-
erously may know of the real under-
takings of the Valley Raptist Hos-
pital; that it is maintained solely
for the welfare of humanity and cot
as a financial investment.

Staff Writer for Central Preaa
NEW YORK Sept. 27.—Young John
Coolidge probably did not have to an-
swer many want •'ads’* to land that
S30-a-week job he is holding down in
the New York New Haven & Hart-
ford general offices up at New Hav-
en Conn.
To say that John makes his debut
as a railroad man under no inure fav-
orable auspices than the average
youngster would be bunk of course.
It is mighty difficult to visualize
John as being fired which happens
to the average young man quite fre-
quently. It is difficult to believe
that John will not be boosted some-
what—if he needs ft—on his way up
the ladder. In short John will get
the "breaks" if there is anything in
prophesy.
Yet it is safe bet that young John’s
job is no sinecure. Pa Coolidge will
have attended to that.
If there is one thing more than
any other upon which Pa Coolidge's
mind is made up. it is that John shall
hoe his own row in life.
John has not had an extra-easy
boyhood because his dad was in the
White House. On the contrary I
imagine the paternal discipline has
been rather extra-strict because of
Pa Coolidge's constant fear lest his
son be spoiled due to his presiden-
tial ancestry.
Anyway all Washington knows
that young John has had to walk a
chalkline.
I take it then that Pa Coolidge
has omitted no precautions to insure
an honest-to-goodness apprenticeship
for John in the transportation busi-
ness.
John as I understand it is not to
stick indefinitely in a clerical posi-
tion with the New Haven but is to
be switched about from department
to department to make him an all-
around railroad man which will
stand him in good stead when fin-
ally he graduates into some high
executive position.
But I do think that John actually
» 1 ~
will know his staff when he arrives
there. He undoubtedly will be gives
exceptional opportunities to advance
rapidly but 1 feel sure that he will
be required genuinely to qualify for
promotion before he gets it. His of-
ficial bosses may be a little lenient
with him but not Pa Coolidge.
And will young John have to livq
inside his $30-a-week salary in tha
meantime?
Say! Havo you ever heard about
Coolidge economy? ’Nuff said.
But how is John going to marry
Florence Trumbull the Connecticut
governor’s daughter on a stipend of
$30 weekly.
Ah let us venture the guess the
John will be drawing a better enve
ope by that time. John has a moȤ
dependable future than the “averaj
young man.” above referred to. Job
can calculate his income in ad van'
with fair certainty.
But on th’» I stand ready tosta
all my money— <%SMI *
John will not marry before he
able to support a wife without I
from the old folks—beyond a t
wedding send-off. It would be c
trary to Coolidge principles.
That is. he will not do so with
father's consent and John is too
tiful a son to disregard the pa'
orders. j
John's submissiveness to Fa a
