A - ■ ■'* -- ' CARNFR >R <ONGRESS The Brownsville Herald takes pride today in prcsenitng to its readers the latest likeness of Hon. John N. Garner, representative in congress from this district for the past twenty-one years, who is its choice for the same high of fice in the coming election. A look at the picture of Mr. Garner, published elsewhere in this is^uc. shows him to he somewhat older than when he first was sent to Congress to represent this district. But the face shows, if any thing, greater strength anti character. It reflects the keen intelligence that has made Mr. Garner one of the fore most stah '■men of the nation, and a power in the greatest legislative body «>f the world. As lender «t the minority pari), holds one of the most responsive PH* gitions in congress, on the ways and means committee, «>f which he was chairman for years when the democrat ic party was in power. His knowledge of the important business which falls to this committee makes him easily one of the foremost men in congress. Mr. darner was the author of the •lemoernite income tax schedule which was chiefly instrumental in breaking down the morale of the forces in the House that were fighting for the fifty per cent reduction in the surtaxes on the big incomes. and. although his amendment to the tax bill was replaced by that of Representative Longwortli, republican, the schedules in the Long worth amendment were much nearer to those proposed by darner than to Sec retary M# lion’s figures. True, the Mel lon schedule has been restored in the senate committee, but it is considered «iuitc possible that the darner or the I.ongworth schedule will replace it be fore final passage of the bill. While we believe that the darner schedule is the fairest and wisest pro posed, it is not our purpose to discuss the tax measure here, hut merely to bring out the way in which our repre sentative has made his mark in con nection with this great piece of legis lation. In the Saturday Kvening I’ost of March 8, there appeared an inter view with Mr. darner. in which he gave a very aide explanation of his stand, and which gave him nation-wide prominence ns a student of finance and n talented law-maker John N. Garner is a man of whom his constituents may well be proud. There is no make-believe about him, nothing pompous or ostentatious. He is democratic in the truest sense of the word. He has never made any ef fort to shine as one of these flowery orators, but his speeches are keen, in cisive. and directly to the point. When darner speaks the nation listens. He is recognized as a power in the na tional halls of legislation. He reflects great credit on his district and state. The Herald feels sure that the dis trict will Return him triumphantly ns its represcfctative once more. It would be a very qrriat mistake to replace him with some untried and inexperienced member, who would require years to attain anything near the eminence which Congressman Garner holds to day throughout the entire nation. GOOD WAY TO ENCOURAGE BUILDING New York state is considering the enactment of a law which would ex empt from taxation until lib ,2 any dwelling the construction of which is begun befor** April, 1925. The object is to encourage the erection of dwell ings, in order to relieve the great need for proper housing throughout tin* state, and particularly in the larger cities. Ever since the war. there has been a deficiency in ilwi dings in New York, owing to the .suspensions of building during the war and subsequent enormous increase in the cost of con struction, which, has retarded building to great extent. The proposed law relieving new dwellings from state taxes for six years it is believed will encourage* building on a scale* sufficiently extensive* to re lieve the situation. It would not he a bad idea for other states to adopt a similar method of encouraging ne»vv construction wherever needed. The* cost of construction, with the* aeide*e| tax burden which be-gins the* moment the* house is built eloubtless has retarded the erection of new buildings in many places. The tax exemption would act as a kinel of bonus to stimulate build ing. The* result woulel he be neficinl in more ways than one, for with a renew ed e*ra eif construction of dwellings, the building traeles would receive elirect benefit, while* all interests would pro fit by the* greater activity and new money put into circulation. __ A FINE HOTEL IMPROVEMENT — It is a pleasure to present to Herald rentiers in this issue the cut picturing the substantial addition that is being built to the Travelers Hotel in this rity. With this completed. Browns ville will have a hotel of which it may well he proud. The new addition will give this hotel one hundred rooms. It will he modern and well equipped. It will he a very handsome building, ami add much to the attractions of Browns ville. besides furnishing first class ac commodations for visitors to the city. The lady who i« building this new hotel in Brownsville deserves great credit for her business judgment and enter prise. The improvement which she is providing will always fill an import ant place in the entertainment of visit ors here. The construction of the large tourist hotel which so many of our leading citizens realize is needed to make Brownsville the tourist resort it is designed hy its location and many natural advantages to he undoubtedly will start an era of growth and expan sion here. This will keep all of our hotels filled with commercial travel< r , as well as pleasure seekers. Many towns smaller than Brownsville boast of several large hotels, which must l»e a success, or capital would not con tinue to seek investment in such en terprises. Senator Hiram Johnson condemns the appointment of Harlan Fisk* Stone o' New York ns attorney general on the grounds that h** is a “child of the prosperous East," and hence could not sympathize with the problems of the west; On the Other hand, we pre sume, following out the same line of reasoning, the new secretary of the Navv might he objectionable to the eastern people, because he hails from Mr. Johnson's own state on the west coast. The Californian has shown himself more puerile in this criticism of President Coolidge’n acts, than in anything el-e he has yet said during his campaign. Hats off to the enterprising little town of I.yford. stepping into the lime light shipping the first ear of Valley onions to market for 1924. They aro some onions, too. this \ alley soil pro ducts. Lyford may well he proud of her achievement. The shocking storv of the sale of narcotics in the Atlanta penitentiary and of corrupt practices in connection with it is no news to the reading pub lic. Reports of these alleged evil con dition in that federal prison were pub lished in leading magazines and news papers long ago. It has been surpris ing that there was no investgiatlon of these charges before now. If true, this story assuredly constitutes a national disgrace. If true, there are men walk ing the streets today who ought to he wearing the striped uniform of that | institution. Sometimes a crank ran get a foothold even in the sanctuary of a church. Sometimes the devil quotes scripture to promote his own fell purposes. The church of St. Mark’s of the Bowery in New York City seems to have fallen in to the hands of a crank or to have been caught in the toils of the devil. It is being used to serve either the pleasure of fools or the evil designs of his satanic majesty. Brownsville was proud to he hostess to the sweet singers of Baylor * ollege Girls’ Glee Club last Friday. Here’s hoping they may come and sing for us again. i La Rochelle, France, has a landlord who would have been admired no doubt by the late Theodore Roosevelt.

Th:.t is what persons do who woiry because they cant sleep. I he chief harmful e-fects from not le. | ;ng are caused not by sleeplessness but by wony over not sleeping. >l«ep should and will come naturally. It on., will only rtaliac lhaOjt is rest and n<d sleep that is needed. Of course it is important to pay at tention to the < rdmary rules of hy giene, with regard to exercise, fresh air and reasonable diet. Hut above all, it is important to fill one’s lif ■ , with satisfactory work and play. The lest incentive to sleep is still the feel ing of “something attempted, some thing done,” particularly omething t<> help others. As to the amount <> sleep needed by different prisons, that varies within the wide limits and in uch modified by habit. Many energetic , active individuals get along quite well with four or five hours of sleep. The pioper amount for the average adult, however is usually between even and eight hours.
