BROWNWOOD SHOWS HOW!
MEXICAN RECOGNITION
A REVIEW of newspaper comments
upon the recognition of Mexico
announced a few days ago shows that
there Is unanimous agreement that
both the United States and Mexico
will profit by the arrangement- -Most
of the editors think that the four
months of negotiation in the Mexican
capital during which time all possl-
blelpoints of disagreement were dis
cussed in a calm and friendly manner.
has-laid a predicate for the negotia
tion'of any difficulties which may arise
in the future; and that the relations
between Mexico and the United States
are1 now more firmly established on
a friendly basis than at any previous
time. A spirit of compromise has
been developed and tacit recognition
has-been given to the fact that both
countries during the past half dozen
years have erred and both have failed
In the discharge of neighborly duty
toward the other. Assuredly In the
future Mexico and the United States
will find ft possible to get together for
friendly discussion and amicable set-
tlement of any dispute which may be
brought about by the nationals of
either republic
.The disruption of relations between
Mexico and the United States was has-
tened by the internal disorder in the
southern republic. During the regime
of Porfirio Diaz Mexico and her peo-
plewere imposed upon by American
exploiters in a most Inexcusable man-
ner.'' Such patriots as Francisco Ma-
dero a high-minded man and a real
statesman were led- into rebellion
against Diaz by their desire to liber-
ate the people of the .country who
were existing under a system of peon-
age that -was infinitely worse than was
the slavery of the pre-war days in the
a
United States. American interests and
1
American citizens therefore were ati
. 1
least tin some degree responsible for ;
the internal upheaval which gave
Mexico a decade of revolution and in-
surrection with Its attendant viola-
tioniof the rights of peaceful and in-
nocent American citizens on both sides
of .the Rio Grande.
InVthe negotiations at Mexico City
the American commissioners found it
necessary to overlook or withdraw
many of the grievances which this
country had charged against Mexico
w
in order to reach an understanding
upon which might be built a structure
of agreement and sccord for the fu-
ture. The rights of American inves-
torp and American land owners arc
to t be protected in Mexico. The sov-
ereignty of the Mexican republic is to
"be maintained Inviolate. Every possi-
ble assistance Is to be given the south-
era republic in Its struggle for re-
habilitation and reconstruction. ' In
exercising a kind ot protectorate over
its weaker sister the United States
Isatc iake care ithat no rights of Mex-
Ico are violated elvher by this govern
ment by the pc'Aerful comVallon3
off capital operating in Mexico under
thegulse of American enterprises.
The stability of .the Mexican govern'
menWs to be supported by the United
and anv disagreements that
fn the future are to be
Eattted through diplomatic channels.
(An Editorial In' the Fort Worth Record.)
FORT WORTH members of the American Legion who went to Galveston
last vieek as delegates to the state department convention of the veter-
ans' organization withdrew from -the race for the 1924 convention at a
moment when victory was almost within their grasp for two reasons.
One was in order to perform an act that would tend to make for. unity
and solidarity in the Legion. The other was as a tribute to one of the
gamest and most enterprising and enthusiastic small cities that ever went
out after a convention.
The renunciation by Fort Worth was an acknowledgment free and
cheerful that the spirit of the Brownwood Legion of the Brownwood baud
and. Its mascots ot the Brownwood merchants . and chamber of commerce
and the Brownwood people deserved reward and that the money and effort
that backed up that spirit were evidences of faith worth recognition.
There.-is a lesson in this for a great city like Fort Worth and for the
other big cities of Texas. Civic advancement and municipal progress cost
time effort and money in big cities as well as in small ones. That is some-
thing we must not forget. Time effort and money and an indomitable
andmnited' spirit "are making many small cities into big ones and the pres
ent big cities need to look after their laurels.
Brownwood has some 10000 inhabitants. Its "Old Gray Mare Band"
known all over this republic is headed by Captain Wright Armstrong sec-
retary of the Brownwood Chamber of Commerce. To Waco in 1U2 the
Brownwood people sent their band hoping to get.the 1923 Legion conven
tion. - Galveston .got it.
. - -
To New Orleans the band from Brownwood went contributions from
Legion members throughout the state supplementing in part the Brownr
woofpqntributions. At the Crescent city the band made itself beloved ot
the Legion members from everywhere' and helped play Alvin .Owsley of
Texas Into the national commandership.
n$launted by the 1922 failure Brownwood paid the expenses of its
band to Galveston in 1923. Brownwood won and Fort Worth was glad to
turn to and see that tne.vote was unanimous even more to put Brownwood
n nomination. Now the band Is to be sent to the national convention at
San Francisco if funds can be raised.
Brownwood gets the 1924 Legion convention. She ha3 secured the
1924jWest Texas Chamber of Commerce convention and eight other state
.conventions for that year. She Is building a great $50000 auditorium to
seat C.000 persons. The band-went to two West Texas organizations and by
Its pep and melody won that great gathering for -Ha home city.
Against the spirit that demonstration of faith through the. contribu
tion of the large amount of money necessary to send the band to conven-
tions of what avail are a few circular letters folders and badges? '
If Fort Worth is going to get ahead as it should get ahead it must have
the same intense and uniteC spirit that Brownwood has shown and other
West Texas cities have shown. We must go out after things not wait for
them to come to us. We must send emissaries to get conventions worth
while not write for them. And we must build that auditorium now.
t
State
may! arise
As a whole it appears that the
Mexican situation so long a most vex-
ng problem for the United States is
about to be Tighted and Texas more
than any other portion of the Ameri-
can union is to profit from.the arrangement
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THE PHENOMENAL growth of the
fHsfrW T.l'hra TnoMtnto. miff
holding its 1923 session in. Brown
wood is pretty good evidence of the
development of the public schools of
the half dozen counties represented in
better teachers. There are fewer one-
teacher schools conducted in one-
room school houses wtih all the win-
dow lights broken and the front doors
hanging from a wire and there are
more well-constructed school build-
ings containing first class equipment
and directed by Well-trained teachers.
The reason is found in the more ade-
quate financial support being given
the public schools not only by the
state In Increased per capita appor-
tionments but by the school districts
In enlarged school tax levies. The
people who are actually paying for
public education are paying more lib-
the Institute. There are more schools
and better schools more teachers anftlerally and are getting more for their
.money..-
Theref is still smucii room for ad-
vancement however in tho consoli-
dation of school .districts. nd the im-
provement of scho.ol properties. Every
boy and girl lsontitled to & complete
high school education in the public
schools whether they live in the large
town or the small rural community;
and the goal of public school educa-
tion in every district should be a cDtri-plete-hlgh
school operating on a basis
of equality with the city high schools.
