HARLINGEN May 9—The peo-
ple of the United States must exer-
cise their franchise if power is U
coipe from the bottom and rLs<
to the top instead of originating al
the top and percolating down said
W. A. Trimpe attorney in a talk
to the Kiwanls club Tuesday al
the Christian church.
He declared that all existing
political organizations must b<
broken up "because they are shot
thiough with the things we an
done with.”
The people of the country have
been too busy developing the con-
tinent to pay much attention tc
government leaving it to politicians
he said. They have forgotten the
interminable centuries of struggle
which finally resulted in their get-
ting a voice in government but
reed to exercise their right to vote
now if they wish to keep their
privileges.
Italy and other countries have
given back their privileges of self-
CUBA TO GRAF
DIVORCE TRADE
HAVANA. May 9. .4**—Cuba is
preparing to amend her divorce
laws with a view of getting a por-
tion of the ‘divorce trade."
The cabinet approved divorce
law amendments at a lengthy ses-
sion Tuesday night but leaders de-
clined to disclose their nature.
Persons close to the situation
howevea said strong pressure had
been brought to bear upon the gov-
ernment to liberalize the laws.
The consensus ol well-informed
persons is that the amendments
will provide for granting a divorce
after six or seven months residence
in Cuba.
It also is believed that the num-
ber of grounds for divorce will be
increased.
Cuba's present divorce statutes
provide for divorce on the following
grounds:
Adultery repeated and habitual
cruelty conviction of either hus-
band or wife on grave criminal
charges; habitual drunkenness;
habitual gambling; desertion of
more than two years and non-
support.
The present law does not specify
any fixed time of residence for
foreigners seeking divorce but the
procedure followed is the same as
for natives and requires at least two
years.
Evangelist Stays
For Another Week
Alter holding a two weeks re-
vival campaign at the Brownsville
Gospel Tabernacle Evangelist Jack
Snider of Oklahoma City consented
to continue his service another week.
He was scheduled to hold a two
weeks' revival meeting for Rev.
John Franklin the pastor of the
revival center here who has been
conducting services for the last 37
weeks. This week will be Rev.
Sniders last week after which
[lev. Franklin will resume the
meetings.
Speaking Tuesday night on "Ex-
cuses". the Evangelist said. ' Jesus
>poke in a parable and said that
a certain king prepared a supper
and invited many friends as guests;
but they would not come: they all
with one consent began to make
excuses. People have to manufac-
ture excuses when they refuse »
accept Christ as their Saviour; for
there is no real reason in the world
why any one should refuse.”
Rev. Snider held revival cam-
paigns in the Valley years before
coming to Brownsville.
The first business of a free peo-
ple is religion. There never has
been a great nation without reli-
gion.

ability to rule themselves by dele-

i Are Americans willing to concede
i the same thing or are they going
to take an interest in their gov-
ernment?” he asked.
The speaker expressed the opin-
ion that the governor's race was
lest important than those for other
offices such as congressman legis-
lator or lieutenant governor. The
governor has little influence over
legislation unless he Is a strong
character such as Roosevelt and
Mr. Trimpe did not profess to see
any such exceptional talent among
the candidates now in the race.
The lieutenant governor as presid-
ing officer of tlie senate has much
more influence on legislation he
declared.
“We have no one to blame except i
ourselves if there is corruption m
office.” Mr. Trimpe asserted. "If we
neglect to look into the character
and quality oi men whom we elect
to office it is our fault. If the
proper men do not offer themselves
for office we should promote some-
one.’’
