THE HERALD'S BIRTHDA Y.
Fifteen years ago the first edition
of The Herald was issued
Brownsville, and the paper has en
joyed an uninterrupted run
iprosperity since it was launched on
the journalistic seas. Quick to rec
ognize the merits of The Herald
as a newspaper, and its determina
tion to be at all times for Browns
ville and its people, it has never
lacked friends who have ever been
Teadv to stand bv the paper in its
fight for everything that was good
During the fifteen years, The
.Herald has never changed hands
JaaS has been under its present
'management since it was first pub
Iished. Difficulties have been en
countered, strong opposition has
been overcome, but it has only
served to strengthen the position
held by The Herald on the low-
er Rio Grande. The management
has ever been ready to sound the
upraises of our people and the beau
tiful land which we call home, and
throueh its persistent work has
made the Brownsville country fav
orably known in every corner of
t fiis BTeat countrv of ours'. The
enterprise of The Herald in se
curing reliable data on subjects of
vital interest to the people of the
Brownsville.couutry and the mul
titude of. special articles written for
tiit ntfrnnse of developing the
-1
country, has made The Herald
one of the most widely quoted pa
ners in the state. Notwithstanding
the amount of time acd space de
moted to the Brownsville country,
The Herald has never neglected
?the interests of its home city, and
--as a result is strongly entrenched
.in the hearts of the people. A lit
;.tle more than three years ago, the
-demand for a weekly paper in the
surrounding country and in other
rstates became so well defined that
a weekly edition of The Herald
was begun, and it is a matter of
record that few papers have as
quickly gone to the front rank as
The. Weekly Herald. The
clientage of The Herald is scat
tered over 29 states and territories
"besides Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
It is the intention of the manage
ment to keep The Herald in the
very front rank, and at the present
time great improvements are con
templated, which will make its
position even stronger as the paper
si the Brownsville country.
DANGER FROM FLOODS.
At this season of the year.it
often happens that the Rio Grande
becomes a swollen stream. The
immense volume of water which
comes down at these times has
.foi;d outlet through the Arroyos
ColoiAdo.a Gloria, Panola and
Carricitos. When the Rio Grande
as in flood the Arroyo Colorado
carries off an immense volume of
water to the sea, and the Panola,
Carricitos and La Gloria also take
a large amount of water cairying
it around the city of Brownsville
and saving the city from the dang
ers of a flood. Since the great irri
gatin enterprises have been inug
arated in the Rio Grande Valley,
b.e engineers have found it neces
sary to dam the ends f the arroyos
mentioned, and it is this fact that
causes The Herald to point out
the danger which threatens
Brownsville. With no outlet for
the flood water above the city, it is
reasonable to suppose that the
levees around the City of Browns
ville are inadequate for the purpos
es intended. It would be a wise
course for the proper authorities to
pursue if they were to investigate
the conditions we have named with
a view to protecting Brownsville
from floods. .
Criminal Reform.
If someone should get up and
say:
'.'Your method of punishing
criminals is all wrong. Your
judges or juries guess at how
much punishment will offset the
weight of the misdeed. Then you
send the poor wretches to a prison
where they are given every en
couragement to become worse than
they were before. Finally, you
let them out and your civilization
turns its tack upon them because
they are jail birds."
It someone said this to us, you
know we would have to take it
It is true.
With all the enhghtmcnt we
boast, we are slill in a hopeless
muddle when it comes to crime
its punishment, how to restrain it
what to do about it, and how to
make good citizens out of those
who under our system have for
feited their right to personal liber
ty-
New York now proposes to try
an experiment in citizen-maKing,
The measure that is to begin it
is called the Davis bill, which has
passed the legislature and has
been signed by Governor Hughes
This "bill practically abandons
the theory of disciplinary punish
ment in prison for rigidly fixed
terras and proposes to make pun
ishment dependent upoa the sub
sequent conduct of the offender
himself.
It is a marvelous forward step
in the treatment.
This bill provides for the crea
tion of a commission to extend the
jurisdiction of probation officers
and to enforce the probation sys
tem in all parts of the state.
Other pending bills continue the
movement, until it is finally pro
posed to extend the present parole
system until it includes practically
every offence upon the criminal
schedule except first degree raur
der.
It will say to every criminal,
'Here is your chance to become a
good citizen.')
Such enactments are necessarily
too sweeping to be put into gene
ral operation in a moment. There
is too much of the dead timber of
the law code to cut away.
But we cannot help realizing
that our present system of so many
ears for one crime, so many years
tor another" crime, minimun and
maximum sentences between which
the jury is left to guess; our sys
tem of making a man worse by his
punishment instead of better we
must realize that all this in its very
nature absurd, outrageous and
barbarous.
If, out of-this germ of reform
that is promised in New York,
there should eventually emerge a
great system of criminal reform
and criminal reclamation, it will
have been one of the most tremen
dous advances in the annals of
law, and our day will be recorded
as an era of real progress towards
the ideal of civilized government.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
fey local 'applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion o the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that La by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed yon have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and hen it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
