THE REIGN OF DAVID
What a romantic story of success! The simple shepherd
lad. David, tending his sheep and playing his lute, receives a
sudden summons home. Saul, the King, who is passionately
fond of music, has sent out a call for a musician. The boy goes
to court and by his modesty and quick intelligence becomes
a favorite. The blustering Goliath affords his courage a gold-
en opportunity; in a single hour he wins the gratitude of the
nation by killing Goliath with his sling in battle, and with it
the jealous hatred of King Saul.
At length Saul in battle defeat has his own guards run
him through and David ascends the throne. With firm hand
and statesman-like vision he enforces order within the king-
dom and respect without. So successful are his campaigns
that he is able toestatiiish a garrison in far-off Damascus and
levy tribute on the Syrians, while Hyram, the powerful king!
of ’Tyre, is glad to claim him as an ally and a friend. He is one j
of the realest characters in all literature. You can see hisl
sturdy body and strong but kindly face; you hear his tones'
and feel his presence, for there is no attempt to make him
anything more than human. In fact his sin—the great blot on
his kingly career—is set forth in complete detail. It is one of
the famous illicit love-stories and has been the theme of
countless poems and plays.
Walking one afternoon upon Ihe roof of his palace David
saw a beautiful woman in her hath. It was love at the first
sight. He sent immediately to inquire her name, and though
it was told him that she was the wife of Uriah the Hittite. he
took her into his harem. The act was made more heinous by
the fact that Uriah was away, fighting his king’s battles at
the front. After a period the girl. Bathsheha, brought David
the uncomfortable news that she was with child. Then came
the act of villainy. David conferred with Joab, his general, and
arranged that Uriah should he sent into the very foremost
rank at the next battle. Loyally the brave soldier fulfilled his
orders and, as had Iieen expected and hoped by the king, he
was reported among the casualties. Bathsheha became the
favorite of the palace and bore a famous son, Solomon, for
whom she secured the succession througl <er influence over
David.
It is not a pretty story, and the prophet Nathan, a rugged
old preacher who feared nothing, did not allow the king to for-
get his sin. Until his dying day David was conscience-stricken.
We are quite sure that many of the Psalms which are attri-
buted to him must have been w ritten by others, but we know-
that he did write this one, a hitter cry of repentance: "Accord-
ing unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.” ....

Much attention has been given
to the value of the civil works ad-
ministration activities In providing
employment hut to date little has
been written on the permanent val-
ue of the improvements being car-
ried on throughout the nation. South
Texas newspapers, without excep-
tion have one or more items in each
Issue devoted to local CWA news.
It was reported In the congressional
record recently that the Htnte of
Texas, through January 20. 1024.
had received a total of $16,468,000
— standing eighth In the list of
states — ns advances for federal
civil works administration projects.

being repaired and educational fa-

tion and pest control projects are
being carried out which will have

Month’s Rainfall
Is 10 Year Record
Reading of the rain gauge at the
Kingsville Lumber Company store
this morning revealed that, regard-
less of the amount of rain that
might fall today, January, 19.24,
will he the “wettest” January in
ten years. The total rainfall for the
current month was 5 Inches at ten
o’clock this morning, distributed
over ten days from the third to the
last day.
lu Junuary 1924, the total precip-
itation was 8.62 Inches, the heaviest
January rainfall in the 16-year per-
iod for which local records are
available. The average for January
over the 16 years is two and one-
tenth inches.
The southern and southeastern
parts of the county received heav-
ier rain than that fulling at Kings-
ville, where the renditigs were tak-
en. it is said by farmers living in
those sections.
Brahmas Defeat
Robstown Five
Kingsville sports fans who were
out at the College gym last Thurs-
day for the basketball game be-
tween the High School Brahmas
and the Robstown Cottonplckers
did not get to see a good basketball
game but they did experience the
Unusual thrill of seeing a Brahma
team defeat a Robstown team, even
If it was by tile close count of 14
to 13.
Leroy Fry of the local herd was
high point man of the contest with
10 points to his credit. The game
was rough and ragged throughout,
with liotIt teams putting up a poor
exhibition.
Tonight, Barr will take hts
charges to Corpus Chrlstl to meet
the Buccaneers, and Friday of next
week at 7:30 the Driscoll five will
meet the Brahmas on the A. & I.
court.
DEBT LEADERSHIP
A statistical chart brings the re-
minder that the per capita public
debt of the United States, even at
Its Indicated peak of nearly 32 bil-
lion dollars at the end of the next
fiscal year, will he substantially be-
low that of France and Kngland,
excluding the so-called war debts.
This Is consoling Indeed, and the
heavy expenditures In progreA
and further contemplated In this
country may be Justified by the
emergency conditions. Yet It Is
hardly the ambition of America to
strive to excel In the -"aUer of
debts. We should he perfectly will-
ing to let the other nations retain
first honors there.—Kansas City
Times.

The co-ordinator, having set up
what he wishes to he the objective
of future national railroad policy,
then proceeds to make rccoiinucnda
lions within the lltult of existing
laws. lie Is decidedly skeptical of
tin* I’rince pinn (or consolidation of
the roads, for his assistant, William
It. I'olnnd, has made studies tlint
allow: the economies under this
scheme would la- It --, limn one third
of tile original estimates.
Most significant of (he recom-
mendations on consolidations Is that
proposals for compulsory consolida-
tions should lie given n trial, pro-
vided that ttie commission anil the
co-ordinator find the proposed merg-
ers to lie in tlie public interest.
Mr. Kastman throws the weight of
his approval behind a method of
compulsory consolidation through
exchange of securities without the
use of cash. Kxecution of such a
method, which the co-ordinntor’s le-
gal assistant, Leslie Craven, be
lleves can tie accomplished, would
accelerate the merging of eastern
railroads Into the four systems
previously agreed upon.
Mr. Kastman says that reorgan
lxatlon of rullrouds now bankrupt
“should ho effected as speedily as
practicable, and lu a manner which
will result in a very material re-
duction In fixed charges." He
calls attention to rite fnct that some
of the most successful reorgan-
izations in railroad history took
place In the midst of financial de-
pressions. Wall Street theory has
been that reorganizations should be
postponed ns long as possible.
Many of the railroads’ vital
problems enn he dealt with ade-
quately by tlie carriers themselves,
but "there is as yet Insufficient or-
ganization and leadership in the
Industry for effective c<i-o|ieration
In such undertakings." It Is quite
possible, Mr. Kastman believes, that
a study of these problems “will pnve
the way to a much larger use of mo-
tor vehicles as an adjunct to rail-
road service, and to a revamping
and simplification of the freight-
rate structure.”
f'AKLOS MENDIETA Is quite sat-
Isfnctory to the United States
ns president of Cuba In view of the
fact that he has the backing of a
majority of tlie Cu-
ban people and ap
parently Is capa-
ble of restoring or-
der in the Islnnd.
So President Roose-
velt Informed the
diplomatic envoys
of the other I.atln-
Anterlcan countries
whom he had sum-
moned to the Wlilte
House. The Presi-
dent virtually In-
vited the other na-
tions to take the same course, but
made It clear that his mind was
made up anyway. Next day Jeffer-
son Caffery, acting for the United
States government, went to the
stnte department In Havana and
handed to Secretary of State Cosine
de la Torriente a document notify-
ing the Cubans thnt the United
States was ready to resume diplo-
matic relations.
The Cubans went wild with Joy
and the 21-gun salute from the
American warship Wyoming In the
harbor was answered hy salutes
from the forts.
Mr. CalTery will be our ambassa-
dor to Cuba, and Manuel Marquee
Sterling will be th* Cuban ambas-
sador to Washington.
Recognition of the Mendleta regime
came from praetleally all other na-
tions.
President Roosevelt plans to do
arveral favors to Cubs that should
make Mendleta solid with his peo
pie. The warships In Cuban wa-
ters will be withdrawn. The Platt

tution, permitting tbs United States

criticism of his estimates as wholly
uncalled for and said the I-eglon's

admitted they were more nearly
correct than tts own estlpiates.
Meanwhile tlie President had an-
nounced new modifications of his
executive regulations concerning
payments to disabled war veterans,
the changes adding more than $21,-

Mr. Roosevelt would seek to per-
suade the Democrats In congress
not to go beyond this liberalization

300 to 40. Sixty-eight Republicans
Joined the obedient Democrats In |
supporting the measure. James It.

Democrats recorded tn the negative.
The senate received the bill and
referred It to the hanking and cur-

ing thnt was lively while* it lasted.
Prof. George Warren, author of the
dollar depreciation and gold pur-
chase program, explained to the
committee tlie theory of commodity
price regulation hy manipulation of
the currency. Then, taking up con
shleratlon of the measure, the com-
mittee heard the vigorous objections
of Senators Glass, Gore and Me-
Adoo to several features of the hill, I
notably the proposed seizure of the
federal reserve bank gold, and the j
granting of unlimited financial pow- 1
er to the secretary of the treftkury.
It was confidently predicted by
the administration lenders that the
hill would he put through the sen-
ate unchanged, but stubborn lights
over various proposed amendments
were certain. The vote on a plan
to limit the use of the $2,000,000. |
000 stabilization fund was expected
to he close. Advocates of the re
monetization of silver, who are fair
ly numerous In the senate, prepared j
