promise to another. He must cultivate
the smile that won’t come off even
though a striking liver demands the
frown. He must greet and shake the
hand of some doubting Thomas when
he would maybe rather eat dirt. Con-
sider the politician when anticipating
tne joyful things of 1926.
Out of the rotteniug stories of
human depravity appearing in the
columns each day of our great Ameri-
can daily press, there sometimes
comes a freshening breath as if from
some clean and open space out among !
the things of nature with no kinship;
to the soiled and blackened recitals
of passions gone berserk. All of it is :
news, demanded by the public and
given because of the demand. Here
is the hair-raising story of some brutal
murder. There is the revolting inci-
dents leading to a divorce scandal, j
Still another glaring headline entices I
the reader to know of political intrl- j
gue and graft horn of greed.
Vet out of it all there is, every once j
iu a while this refreshing breath as i
if from some heavenly clean place; j
some saying or some action of a clean
man or woman seeking onl ythe clean j
places, expecting only the clean ways j
and walking mid the tilth toward the |
goal of cleanliness. Doctor William J. j
Mayo was in Houston the other day,
on a vacation trip, and he told some
tilings for public print well worth
(he reading. Doctor Mayo perhaps
come in closer contact with human
woe than any other living man. He has
relieved more suffering than any
other living man, perhaps.
Doctor Mayo says oout this jazz
mad era: “But we’ll get over the jazz
I craze after a while. Such things move
I in cycles and I venture to predict that
the next generation will he as staid
as the mldVictorians. People are never
[content to do anything in moderation,
but always go to extremes of things.”
The physician, though of much
learning and wise beyond the wise-
ness of most men, clings to the sim-
ple faith. Here is what Doctor Mayo
says about evolution: ‘‘Evolution,, too,
is causing more commotion than it
should, but it is simply an indication
that people are thinking more and
more of religion. There is no break-
down in religious thought today, but
people are giving religion more thot
and thinking out their own creeds.
TREBLE CLEF CLUB
TO GIVE CONCERT
The Treble Clef Club, honorary
musical organization at the College,
will give their home concert on
Thursday evening, April 8. This club
was organized last fall by Mr. Engle
as one of the school’s activities iu
music, and membership is limited to
those who successfully pass the re-
quirements in voice quality and sight
reading ability; the better class of
part-songs written for women’s voices
ure studied. Members of the club are:
first sopranos: Willa Woodside, Louise
Kelly, Hary Helen Pipkin; second so-
pranos: Nadine Brown, Aileen Moore,
Clovis Hickman, Portia Barnhill; al-
tos: Ruth Stafford, W’ilmu McAferty,
Beulah Barber; accompanlest: Pran-
ces Buchanan; reader: Vaughn Buch-
anan.
The club made an extended tour to
a number of the Valley towns during
the first week In March; this series
of concerts included one broadcasted
from Station KWWG in Brownsville,
and the College has received much
favorable advertising and publicity as
a direct result of that trip.
The program by the club is divided
into two parts: Part One consisting
of choruses, readings, quratets, and in-
strumental numbers; Part Two is a
one-act operetta, ‘‘The Quest of the
Gipsy.” The club is directed by Mr.
Engle.
‘‘Science and religion have no battle
at all. Evolution is not a theory any
longer, but a well established scien-
tific fact, but it does not interfere
with the truths of the Bible. The
truths have lasted throughout all time
and will continue to do so, but hand
in hand we will have a saner know-
ledge of th<* development of the
human race.”
Only too often is it the rule of weak
humanity to stagger and fail beneath
the load of misery accepted as a duty
or forced upon us as a necessity. Mis-
ery and trouble and suffering breed
in our minds and hearts the gall and
ihe wormwood of discontent, of pessi-
mism and doubt. Not so with Doctor
Mayo. The more of the world’s trou-
bles he would shoulder, the more of
brightness and good and joy he seems
to see in life. World-famed with an
army of sick always clamoring for re-
lief, he finds time to read and think
and venture opinions having no con-
nection with his professions.
We of the toiling, struggling, har-
rowed masses might well consider
the sayings of such men as Doctor
Mayo. Each day he reviews the pro-
cession as it passes through the halls
of his great institution—sees the
misery of man paraded past, hears
everlastingly the cry of human an-
guish. feels the pulse of a miserable
world, yet he calls life good; he
cures the body and seeks a remedy
for sick hearts and diseased souls:
he looks out over the heads of a suf-
fering multitude and visions the safe
harbor of contentment rising up out
of the sunshine of faith and hope and
charity.
Johns Announces
For County Attorney
Basing his claims upon the record
that he has made during the time he
has been in office, C. D. Johns is ask-
ing for re-election as Cqunty Attor-
ney of the county at the July primar-
ies. Mr. Johns, it will be remembered,
was appointed to fill out the unexpir-
ed term of Gus L. Kowalski, and was
later elected by the people. During
his term of office his duties have been
performed to the satisfaction of all
concerned and if there has ever been
a complaint, the complianant has not
voiced same.
No one has announced for the office
in opposition to Mr. Johns and present
prospects are that he will have no op-
position. but he asks for the support
and vote of the citizenship, promising
if re-elected to serve the people just
as faithfully in the future as he has in
the past.

pendent ami Common school districts

erent precincts are requested to take

Commissioner Nanny
Seeks Re-Election
Clyde Nanny, County Commisioner
of Precinct No. 3, the Riviera precinct,
was in Kingsville Saturday and stated
that he would again be a candidate
for re-election to the same office. Mr.
Nanny, a little less than two years
ago, accepted the duties of the office
and at once proceeded to make out of
it a real job. There had been for years
trouble in getting the roads in that
precinct in such shape that they could
he traveled at all seasons of the year.
The former commissioner had used
his best efforts to remedy the defects
in the road system. When Mr. Nanny
took over the office, he did so with
the firm determination that he would
either make or ruin the roads in his
precinct. In other words he planned to
spend time and money on a system of
roads, and if his plans failed to ask
that the roads he permanently im-
proved. A trip over the road from Ri-
viera to Riviera Beach will convince
the most skeptical, that Mr. Nanny
has succeeded as well as it is possible
to do so with sand roads. A visitor to
Riviera Beach from Kingsville last
Sunday stated that he made as good
time over the Riviera Beach road as
he did over the highway and that the
going was just about as smooth. This
after several days’ rain and heavy
travel over the road. Other roads in the
precinct have also received atention
and Mr. Nanny says that now that he
has the Riviera Beach road in fairly
good shape he hopes to give much
more attention to these other roads.
