BUY AN IN THE VALLEY.
Colonel William J. Brya n is on his
way to visit his winter home at Mis
sion once more. There are many
good and sufficient reasons why The
Herald is glad he is here. He is a
good, fgolal, optimistic person to
have around, and that is the sort of
Individual that always receives the
jg^ddest of glad hands front the Val
>fey people. There may be some not
entirely in accord with with his po
ll littcal views, but we all believe he
knows a good thing when he sees it.
Especially a proposition that is writ
ten out in such shining characters as
the Lower Valley of tlie Rio Grande.
Hence his fine ranch at Mission.
Now, It Is well known that what Mr.
Bryan honestly believes he doesn’t

Tree planting is in order just now
lu the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Ev
eryone who owns the ground In the
Valley should not fail to plant as
many trees as possible firing the

The president is not without honor
in his own country, especially among
his own personal friends Home of
them have assured him that he will
control the state central '*omm It tee.
Others say they hope he will.
Mr, Bryan says Wilson has experi
enced a change of heart on the ques
tion of the Bryan influence in poli
tics. Wherefore the Preossor some
how reminds tty, Colonel of Haul of

The frequency with which the ab
dication of the throne is announced
by the Chinese rebels is a fine in
stance of the splendid optimism of
the oriental mind.
The democratic house is honestly
trying to keep Its campatgii'pledges.
it has passed the bill making from 35
to 50 per cent reduction in iron and
aftecl products. The matter is now up>
to the Senate.

probably march to slower music

A NOBLE **NDEnTAKING
The plan of the Mothers’ Club to
aerve soup to the children of the
public school an a merely nominal
price ia worthy of all commendation.
This is one of the good things among
many good things done by the Moth
ers' Clubs all over the land. There
la no city of this size In Texas — or
anywhere else, for that matter —
where that sort of work is not need
ed. There are schools In
that »fford regular dining ffomn,
where any offfie scholars who choose
to do so tnay supply themselves with
a good, cteanT*wholesome meal for a
trifling price. Students from the
well-to-do homes avail themselves of
the opportunity, especially In bad
i weather. Here in Brownsville, where
1 many of the scholars are far from
I horn© at the noon recess, the oppor
tunity to get a bowl of good, hot
I soup, is a distinct‘advantage. Any
one who has not forgotten tKe condl
I tion of the streets and the state of
the weather during many days this
winter, can surely appreciate this.

TV Man Who Win*.
The man who wins Is an average man.
Not built on any peculiar plan;
Not blessed with any peruliar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full of
pluck.
When asked a quest ion he does not
“guess;”
He knows, and answers “No’ or
“Yes;"
When set a task that the rest can't
do.
He buckles down till he's put it
through.
Three things he's learned—that the
man who tries.
Finds favor In his employer s eyes;
That it pays to know more than one
thing well;
That it doesn't pay all he knows to
tell.
So he works and waits, till, one fine
day,
There's a better job with* bigger
pay;
And the men who shirked whenever
they could,
Arp bossed by the “men whose work
made good.
For the rtTah Who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble
shirks:
Who uses his hands, his head, his
eyes—
j The man who wins is the man who
tries. —The Furrow

on Visit Here.
The Corpus Christl Democrat of
recent dat«, published the following
interview with a gentleman of that
■city who has Just returned home
from a visit to Brownsville.
C. W. Gibson returned yesterdav
from Brownsville, having traveled
that far with hi* old friend and bus
iness associate. E. R. Thomas, who
was the founder and president of the:
Thomas Motor Car Company, manu
facturer of the “Thoms* Flyer” au
tomobiles, and principal stock holder
of the Chatmers-Detrolt company,
stopped off ill Corpus Christ! while
en route to the Republic of Mexico
to renew the friendship with Mr.
Gibson.
Brownsville Ready to l*a»e.
“I found plenty of mud in Browns

world by any means, but the money j
for s’red laving is alreadv in a I

“There are many evidences of an
Improved era going on in Brownsville

“American prospectors are in the

There seems to be a general revival
of business conditions. Everything

state of peace now existing and are

Two New Bunk Buildings.
•“Two of the Brownsville batiks are
erecting handsome new building* in
thoir anticipation of a big city to be.
Neither i* as yet completed. One is
a four-story brick, of modern are’it
tecture, the other a one-story of Ro
man architecture. Either I* a dis

than Brownsville boasts.”
Some Dinner in Mainmort**.
Mr. Gibson crossed the river with
Mr. Thomas and the two partook of
a splendid dinner at Matamoros on
the menu of which was Included all
sorts of game. The game laws of
Mexico permit of hunting practically
all the year round.
