PALACIOS
COUNTY FEDERATION
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
In another column will be found the
program of the quarterly meeting of
the Federation of Women's Clubs,
which meets hcere on Saturday morn-
ing at 10:00 o'clock. The first part
of the program will be given at the
High School until 1:00 o'clock, when
adjournment will be taken for lunch
at the Hotel Palacios. The afternoon
program will be continued after lunch
at the Hotel. The chief speaker of
the day will be Mrs. J. W. Hooks,
Gordon, Georgia, a prominent club
worker in her own State. Mrs. Hooks
attended the bi-ennial meeting of the
Federation which met lately at San
Antonio. The General Federation of
Women's Clubs is probably the great-
est single institution among women
in the world. It has a membership
of over three million members in the
United States. It is not possible to
over-estimate its power for good in
education, religion, art, polities, and
the home. Those who watch closely
the career of the General Federation
trust it will make itself felt in poli-
tics, not necessarily under its own
name, but the hope is that its mem-
bers will make their knowledge and
influence felt through other organiza-
tions. Visitors are cordially invited to
the meeting on Saturday.
♦ * *
It has been interesting and amusing
to read the papers from day to day as
they record the doings in Kansas City.
In this morning's Houston Chronicle
there is .an article by Herbert Bayard
Swope, Executive Editor of the New
York World (Dem.), in which he re-
cords the sententious information that
"a close friend—if the term is not
a paradox—said the president had let
them down," and the article itself has
for its headline: 'Coolidge men be-
lieve they got let down.' This because
of the bitterness over the supposed
nomination of Mr. Hover by a large
majority, this bitterness according to
Mr. Swope enveloping Mr. Coolidge
himself. Mr. Colidge is not alone. The
late Dr. James Strahan in his splendid
little book entitled 'God in History,'
published by George H. Doran Co.,
says: "The prophet Jeremiah was one
of the loneliest of men, whom a Prov-
idence that he sometimes thought un
kind required to be against the whole
land, against the kings of Judea,
against the princes, and againBt the
people of the land." So with Mr. Coo-
lidge's veto of the McNary-Haugen
Bill. It did not please many in his
own party, but he obeyed the dictates
of his own conscience. So too, in
connection with his silence over the
choice of a F.epuhlicar. candidate—
and this seems to be the chief point
of his offending.
On another page of the same paper
there is contained the very interesting
news that the government of India
has accepted the invitation of Secre-
tary Kellogg to participate as an or-
iginal signatory in the proposed multi-
lateral treaty for the renunciation of
war. Only one other of the 14 nations
invited by the United States to enter
into the treaty is still to be heard
from—namely South Africa, and an
affirmative reply is expected at once.
If. Mr. Coolidgeand Secretary Kellogg
succeed in getting these nations to re-
nounce war, both these men will go
down in history as benefactors of the
human race, and this to an extent not
conceived by us at present.
To say as the political writer in the
Chronicle does, though he quotes
someone else, that Mr. Coolidge lets
his friends down, is hardly true. When
the history of Mr. Coolidge's adminis-
tration comes to be written, say thirty
years from now, Mr. Coolidge himself
will be noted for his integrity. He
has tried to carry into his great office
the famous saying attributed to Mr.
Cleveland that public office is a public
trust, and like Mr. Cleveland he has
not hesitated to veto bills that he
thought were not for the public good.
In vetoing the McNary-Haugen Bill
a second time Mr. Coolidge obeyed the
dictates, of his own conscience guided
by his knowledge of economics. Had
he wished to cater to party he would
not have vetoed it. Mr. Coolidge's
whole life has been lived in an atmos-
phere of humility, sincerity, modesty,
and silence. When lie and "his wife
and their two sons lived in Massochu-
setts they occupied one end of a mod-
est duplex apartment, even though he
occupied a high office in his State at
the time. It would be well for all of
us to read once again Thomas Car-
lyle's 'Heroes and Hero Worship,' and
see for ourselves the value he places
on silence on the part of those who
occupy a high place in public life.
In an article in Harper's Magazine
a few months ago, Mr. Ernest Mar-
tin Hopkins, President of Dartmouth
CoHef, speaks of the great American

BON VOYAGE
On Thursday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Ruthven, the Auxiliary of the
Presbyterian Church entertained with
a Miscellaneous shower honoring Miss
Madge Clement who next Thursday,
June 21st, will become the bride of
John Houston Robertson. Madge is
one of our best known and best ioved
girls having "grown up" here in Pa-
lacios. Seeing that Madge and John
Houston arc to go to Africa soon,
where they are to do missinonary
work it seemed fitting that we should
meet and wish her Bon Voyage. Af-
ter the ladies had greeted one another
and the buzz of conversation had some-
what quieted, Mrs. Arnold sang, "Out
of the Dusk." Then into the room
came a "real" ship with the Misses
Vera Tanner and Cecile Grant provid-
ing the "power." The ship came to
rest before Madge's chair and Vera
said she had heard Madge was plan-
ning on embarking on the sea of mat-
rimony and there could be no embark-
ation without a barque so the Auxil-
iary herewith presented her one and
hoped the sea would not prove stormy.
Upon looking into the hold of the
ship it was found to be filled with
packages, each a gift of love to Madge
from a friend and well-wisher. Madge
expressed her thanks and apprecia-
tion in a delightful manner then in-
vited us all to come to "The" party
next Thursday bringing with us our
shoes and rice. (We will all be there.)
Delicious refreshments were then
served by the Commanders, Mrs.
Ruthven, Louise Crawford, Vera Tan-
ner, Cecil Grant, Elizabeth Sisson, and
Beatrice Chaddock.
- Mrs. L. S. Smith, of Dallas, who
has spent her summers here the past
several years, is here again for this
summer. She came in Saturday, ac-
companied by her father.
delusion that to be busy is to be use-
ful.' One cannot read the papers
these days without being conscious
that a great, almost new force, has
come into American life, and that is
the American daily newspaper. Think
of the amount of space devoted to the
Republican Convention, and the arti-
cles written by men prominent in
the newspaper world and in political
and social life. Think of the tremen-
dous power this great new force may
be for good or evil! To the honor of
our great daily newspapers it must,
be said that they are using thrir pow-
er largely for good. But to a discern-
ing reader there occurs the question:
how a ml to -separate the wheat from
the chaff?
If Mr. Coolidge succeeds in getting
the great nations of the world to re-
nounce war as a means of settling dis-
putes he will go down in history as a
great president. And this not only be-
cause of the outlawing of war, but
because of his own sterling character.
His one outstanding characteristic, as
has been said above, is his integrity.

business; men and farmers. Matagorda
County today, stands by itself in the
production and quality of a number
of products and while this production
is not as large as many other counties
in the Gulf Coast, with the proper
efforts and advertising this county
wants to do, it will only be a short
period l'o years, until this county will
be settled with the best farmers.
No organization can foster cream-
eries and different things in the coun-
ty without the support, morally and
financialy, of the majority of the bet-
ter class of people. The money that
you put into this organization is used
for the benefit of Matagorda County.
There are no paid officers. Each of-
ficer is working and serving for the
good of his county and his neighbor-
hood. The board of directors of twenty
men, each has his location in mind and
it will not be long until the work of
this organization will be known far
and wide, as these directors are
studying the needs of their neighbor-
hood and will ask the association as
a whole to help them get these needs
for their people.
The thing we want to impress up-
on everyone, not only business men
and bankers, but farmers as well, is
that ths association is yours. There
is no one to take the money and throw

four hundred and eighty four adult
tickets were sold at Houston for the
excursion and the crowd was estimat-
ed at more than 3000.
As far as we have been able to
learn Palacios did her part of the en-
tertaining in a very satisfactory man-
ner and if there was anyone who
did not have a good time is was no
fault of ours.
It was a long tiresome trip to make
for so short a stay, but the B. Y. P. U.
itics. They will learn that there is a
new South.
The older South, despite its charm
and its romance, was still suffering
until very recently from the economic
and social effects of the Civil War.
Now the tide has turned. The old
charm is still there but the newer
South shows itself in the tall build-
ings, the well-paved streets the garden
suburbs, the excellent schools, the li-
braries, the art museums of such cities
as Houston. Oil made Houston; coal
and iron arc making Birmingham; the
increase in railway traffic renders1
Atlanta more and more important;
Mississippi River improvements will
stimulate the already vigorous com-
merce of New Orleans.
The new South does not sit on a
veranda all day long and drink mint
juleps. It hasn't time. It is just as
energetic, modern and ambitious as
the North. There are vast opportuni-
ties south of the Mason and Dixon line
for those who know how to find them.
Horace Greeley's famous advice to
the rising generation needs to be re-
stated every now and then. If he
were alive today, he would probably
say. "Young man, go South."
cious auditorium, beautiful shade trees
and grassy lawn, fanned by the gentle
gulf breeze, were very attractive to
many no doubt, and we trust they
spoke a good word for our city on their
return home and will induce others to
make us a visit.
LEAVE FOR ILLINOIS
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Edwards and
daughter, Mary Martha, leave this
week for Illinois with the intention of
making that state their future home.
The Edwards family has been here a
number of years and made numerous
friends who regret to see them go
elsewhere, but wish them well where-
ver they may go. Mrs. Edwards was
an activo worker with the O. E. S.
Chapter, also the Rebekahs and will bo
missed in these circles.
The Rebekahs had a pleasant sur-
prise for Mrs. Edwards at the homo
of Mrs. L. Bruse Tuesday evening in
the form of a handerchief shower.
Games and story telling were enjoyed
until a late hour when refreshments of
cake and iced tea were served by the
hostess, after which all bade Mrs. Ed-
wards farewell and a pleasant trip to
her new homo ir. Illinois.
Gen. Matthews
Lands Tarpon
Weighing 80-lbs
General Dallas Matthews, accompan-
ied by Mrs. Matthews came down
from Houston Wednesday on official
business. While here the General was
informed that fishing was good, so
he and Messrs. Duncan Ruthven, Robt.
L. Price, M. S. (Jack) Holsworth and
J. D. Evans chartered the Hilda early
Thursday morning and sailed out to
Half Moon Reef to try their luck ang-
ling for the big ones. Mr. Price start-
ed the fun when he hooked a tarpon
about five feet long and succeeded in
landing it. General Matthews not to
be outdone, hooked and landed one
which tipped the scales to a good 80
pounds and measured six feet and
eight inches. Mr. Holsworth, who has
lived here twenty years, had his first
experience in tarpon fishing on this
trip, and was fortunate enough to
land the first one he ever hooked and
it was only one foot shorter than the
one captured by the General. Mr. Ev-
ans said he furnished the bait and had
a lot of fun watching the others get
excited and Mr. Ruthven calmly look-
ed on.
Train To Change
Time Sunday, 17
Announcement has been made that
the Palacios train will change time
again Sunday, June 17th. It will ar-
rive here at 1 p. m. and leave at 1:15
P. M., remaining here just fifteen min-
utes. The change will make little dif-
ference in the passenger service either
going or coming back and mail service
practically the same. The outgoing
mail will have to be made up an hour
earlier.

tracting parties were Miss Daisy Wil-
liams, of Ashby, and Mr. Julius Wil-
kerson, of this city. The newly weds
arc enjoying a short honeymoon in
Galveston and Houston and expect to
return to Palacios the latter part of
the week. The groom is chief mechan-
ic at the Service Garage, a position he
has held for some time. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wilkerson
of this city, and is well and favorably
known. The bride is one of Ashby's
most popular young ladies and will
find a cordial welcome awaiting her
here. They will make their home in
the cottage on Pavilion, just north of
the Magnolia Filling Station, recent-
ly prepared for them.
Hearty felicitations are extended
these young people by their host of
friends with whom the Beacon joins.

Ed Kennedy, gray-haired builder of
railroads, nine months in the. field
mapping the route of a new road lint
from Roswell, N. ., to a deep water
outlet in Texas, either at Corpus
Christi, Palncios or Rockport.
The railroad, when completed, will
run through a rich agricultural sec-
tion, furnishing an outlet for its prod-
ucts through deep water 400 mile*
shorter than the best existing route,
he pointed out.
Mr. Kennedy is well known to Hous-
ton and Texas railroad circles. In
1907 the first train left Houston for
DeQuincy, La., over a route mapped
by Mr. Kennedy. This road was sold
and now is part of a great lal.road
system.
Altus Line Sold.
Another of Mr. Kennedy's lines, run-
ning from Altus, Okla., to Welling-
ton, Texas, was sold to the Katy, and
now is used to transport wheat from
the rich sections of Oklahoma and
North Texas. Much of this grain now
finds its way to shipside in Houston.
Years ago he purchased land about
the Turning Basin for $125 an acre,
offered it to the city at a profit of
$12 an acre and was refused. Today
the same land is worth $18,000 an
acre and the total tract held by Mr.
Kennedy unci associates is valued at
around $65,000,000.
His pioneering railroad efforts have
carried him throughout Texas and sev-
eral adjoining states and the Roswell-
Gulf line, his latest venture, promises
to exceed his earlier projects, he says.
Single-handed, in nine monthw, he
has raised a total of $1,639,000 a bo-
nuses and donations, which is 'leing
held in escrow for the buildiug of the
railroad. The Roswell city adminis-
tration, the chamber of commerce and
the county government authorized pay-
ment of $200,000 toward financing the
line.
Offers Given.
Roswell, the west(?rn terminus, is a
city of 15,000 population, now served
by a single railroad. Roswell rISo"*"
agreed to furnish 50 miles of right-
of-way and furnished grade,"value of
which was set at $225,000
Other towns which already Imve sub-
scribed to building of the new line are
Tatum, Bronco, Plains, J3ro\v|ifield,
O'Donnell, Fluvanna.
Included in the proposed railroad is
80 miles of existing lines, which will
be consolidated and merged with the
Roswell road. Some trackage from
Snyder to Sweetwater will be leased.
"When the new line is completed,
it will furnish a connection with Ros-
well 400 miles shorter than any exist-
ing route," Mr. Kennedy said. "It
will tap a rich agricultural section,
65 per cent or more in cultivation, and
will provide an enormous amount of
tonnage."
Work to Start.
Engineers probably will enter the
field and construction work will begin
as soon as chambers of commerce
along the line are ready to carry out
their agreements for construction of
the road. N
"All our contracts will be backed
up by agreements with chambers of
commerce along the way, all of which
are signed by the president and secre-
tary."
Mr. Kennedy, tanned by the 3un
during the long months of work in the
field, is optimistic over prospects for
the new line.
"It looks like a real success," he
said, "and it may develop into the beet
venture of my career." Houston Post-
Dispatch.
