CARRIERS GOOD WORK.

The channel through parts of
Laguna Madre which has been in
process of construction for several
months, is now finished. This en-
terprise was one of John G. Kennedy
and was conceived and paid for by
him for the convenience of his in
terests in water traffic between Cor
pus Christi and the landing near
his La PARA ranch headquarters in
Cameron county about sixty miles
down the Laguna. The channel
excavated by the Kennedy dredge
will some day form a part of the
intercoastal canal to be built by
the government. That proposition
is one in which Congressman Gar
ner has been much interested. He
has been assigned to the committee
of railways and canals and he will
be able to get lot of practical data
from Mr.. Kenedy.-Corpus Christi.

No Place For Bosses.

Demand for labor on the grade of
the ST. Louis, Brcwnsville& Mexico
railway has in part been supplied.
There is yet plenty of room for men
who can swing a maui or drive a
scraper. But the chief engineer of
the railway wishes it to be under
stood that he already has sufficient
applications on file for the position
of general manager; that ample
material has volunteered for APP
pointment to all departmental
superintendencies; that there will
be no lack of talent seeking to be
exercised as general freight and
passenger agent of the new road,
and that nearly all the real nice
jobs are already pneempted by from
80 to 300 men each. For men who
want to work, the road will have
jobs for at least a year. The pay
is $3.50 per day. The climate is
the Lncst in the United States and
there is no healthier locality in the
world than that traversed by the
new railroad to Brownsville.

DIR. TABOR'S VISIT.

The HERALD's Laredo cor
respondent states that DR.. George
r. Tabor, State health officer, in
tends to visit Brownsville next
March, and that he is very much
interested in the development of
this section.
OF course DR.. Tabor may visit
Brownsville, and he will be receiv-
ed courteously, if he comes. This
we know, for it is the Brownsville
way. However there is matter OF
more than passing Importance,
which by its nature is unpleasant
and apt to produce feelings of i'll
will against DR.. Tabor on the part
OF a number Of our citizens, one OF
whom we must write The HERALD
down as which.
When the yellow fever scourge
was raging violently at Laredo and
was expected to break out farther
south at any time, Brownsville and
Cameron county, together with
Hidalgo and Starr counties, ap-
pealed to DR.. Tabor and Governor
Lanham for State aid in the work
of preventing the spread of the
dread disease. But this appeal was
promptly silenced with the state
ment that State aid was impossible;
that the fund was exhausted!
The lower Rio Grande was left to
her one resources to take up the
fight Of protecting not only herself,
but the balance Of the great State
of Texas from an epidemic of yell
low fever. Bravsly and heroically
the duty was met.
Left to their individual action.
these border counties went about
the work with an intelligence and
determination that promptly secur-
ed complete protection from yellow
fever and escaped its attendant
pestilential distress and restitution,
o. i-5-
Not only was protection assured
the lower Rio Grande counties, but
it was, by their action, also assur-
ed to, the other counties of the
State.
Here was where government aid
was most needed. Here was where
every available resource of the
State should have been concentrat-
ed and the States interests guarded
most zealously.
But it was not. 1t was said that
no funds were available for the ex-
pense. Now, that the plague is past
we are informed that there was
plenty of money available, if it
had only been apportioned proper
ly. A late dispatch from Austin to
the great daily newspapers contain
ed the following statement:
The expense of maintaining the
yellow fever quarantine against
Mexico, Laredo, and San Antonio
has not been as great as might be
expected. OF the $4,000 appro-
priated for that purpose for the use
of the State Health Department on
ly $3.50 has been expended up to
this time.

peace with us, however great might
be the probabilities of war with that
country In the near future. Those
who recall the events Of that time, not
50 long ago, of which Mr. Long
writes, will remember that it was Mr..
Long who up to the very moment
ECstihties were begun insisted that
there would be no war, and that ii
was Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
more than Secretary Long who was
responsible for the fact that the navy
was in readiness for the struggle
when it came. 1t was Mr.. Roosevelt
who, taking advantage of the absence
OF his chief, purchased coal and sup
plies and placed the navy upon a war
footing.
In connection with what Mr.. Long
says regarding the impetuosity of his
assistant, it will also be recalled that
Mr.. Roosevelt's suggestion of sending
feet across the Atlantic was not, as
Mr.. Long intimates, for the purpose
OF attacking The vessels of a friendly
nation, but rather to counteract the
move which Spain made in ordering
her squadron to Cuban waters; his
idea was, as we recall It, that the
American ships should follow the
Spanish feet and be ready to attack
as soon as war should be declared in
order that the Spariards might never
be able to reach the coast of the
United States. He, with others, IL
Guiding officers of the navy, as Nh.
Long states, believed that the send
ing of the Spanish feet to American
waters YVES in itself an act of war.
Mr.. Long does not state the whole
case, neither does he explain. He is
unfair. Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt may
himself some day write a history of
the war with Spain, and it will be in
teresting to read what he may have
to say regarding the attitude of his
former chief and later his Secretary
of the Navy.
