Herbert Dreyer, who was form
erly agent for the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company here, but is now
stationed at Brentwood, is expect
ca to arrive this afternoon on a
visit to friends, so THE HERALD
is informed. Herbert was quite a
favorite in Brownsville and his
friends will be glad to again well
come him to Our city.
There is still complaint being
heard concerning the foul odors in
the vicinity of Carson park and the
passenger depot, arising from the
standing water and mud in that
portion OF the city. We would
advise the sanitary inspectors to
take a stroll down that way and
see for themselves. This is the
second time THE HERALD has
called attention of the authorities
to the unsanitary condition in that
section of the city.
B. E. Hinkley has returned from
various points in Texas where he
has been in the interest of Wood
craft. Mr.. Hinkley says he was
very fortunate in being in company
with Rev. w. H. Petty, and
that chickens were mighty fine.
He also says the love of fried
chicken IS not confined TO the
preachers, at all, but that he has
a tooth that calls for more poultry
of the fried variety, and the pres
ent trip was all that could be de-
sired III this line.
Among other projects contem-
plated for the development of the
rich natural resources of this valley
is the establishment of a furniture
factory, which would utilize the
many fine hardwoods in which cur
forests abound for making fur
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1906-07-11

that we have here a very large
supply of hardwood trees which
are well adapted for cabinet work.
Some of these woods, especially
the ebony and mesquite, take a
very high polish and are extremely
durable, making very beautiful
wood for fine cabinet work. The
mesquite is in reality as durable as
oak and makes equally as beautiful
furniture. Quite a number of
specimens of hardwoods from the
lower Rio Grande valley were dis
played at the Worlds Fair, and
were considered a very important
part of the Texas display. With
out doubt a furniture factory at
Brownsville would be a paying in
vestment.
From Col. Lott THE HERALD
learns the surveying corps of the
Brownsville, Hidalgo & Northern
railway, which is now locating the
permanent line between Browns
vile and Brazos de Santiago, is
about ten miles below the city and
expects to reach here next Satur-
day. They will probably establish
camp Monday at the Blalack plan
tation two miles from town and
will go out to the arroyo. From
there Col. Lott says preliminary
survey will be made to Corpus
Christi, which will require about
six weeks for completion. THE
HERALD man is often accused of
knowing everything, a grievous
mistake, however, and is often
called upon to answer some rather
hard questions, one of which is,
when will actual work begin on
the new road? Of course we do
not know, and nobody else does
either, for that matter, but in
order to make some claim to the
title of knowall," we told some
one few days ago the new road
would be ready to haul products
from the Brownsville country next
season. Col. Lott would not back
up this assertion this morning, but
said: we never deny anything.
So our readers may put this asser-
ton and any other news they may
have together and see if they can
figure on when actual construc-
tion will begin. One thing is
sure, the section the new road
proposes to traverse is rich in
natural advantages and possibili
ties, with virgin soil only wait
ing to be transformed into verita-
bic gardens of beauty and wealth.
That the line will be built there
is little doubt, especially among
those in a position to know, and
our people are only asked to bide
their time with patience.

Beggars and Farmers.

Farmers are complaining of the
number of hoboes and beggars that
are infesting the country. Some OF
themsay that there is scarcely day
that passes that they have not one
or more calls from able bodied men
for something to eat. 1t is no use to
offer them work, as the usual answer
is that they are trying to reach such
and such a place, and all they need
is little something to eat to help
them on their way.
AS rule, only very few Of the
travelling gentry visit Greeley.

indignities that are heaped upon the
class here has spread to their ranks

A Few Statictics.

Secretary Frank P. Frost of the
Commercial Club has figured out
how the towns around the Horn can
show up a larger population than
Greeley. Boulder is claiming u, 500
and Fort Collins $500. They base
their figures on the school census
OF this Boulder can SHOW 275O
school children and Fort Collins
1880 with Greeley 1882. But, the
two cities to the west and south
take in an enormous stretch of coun-
try in their school district, and by
simply counting her school popula.
tion in the town, Fort Collins is lust
forty. eight ahead of Greeley. Gree.
ley's estimate on population from
the school census is based on four to
one while Fort Collins figures four
and one quarter to one, and Bould.
er, five to one.
Figuring the total on the same
basis Fort Collins and Greeley will
run about neck and neck on popula-
tion, with Boulder about 25OO ahead
Of either.

What constitutes Il good Judge on
the bench? 1t is not keen insight
and luminous comprehension OF law,
| for that Is often used to defeat the
plain intent of the law. One OF the
most legally learned OF Colorado
judges-perhaps the most learned Jur-
ist we have is barrier against
principle. 1t is not sternness OF Will
power, for one Of the evils of the ju-
dietary is Il judge who becomes en-
bittered and prejudiced and acts
despotically. 1t is not wit and brill
lance, for wit and brilliance often
are accompanied by pitiful vacilla-
tion of character. 1t is not a sharp
sense for the popular Things and the
genius that never misses the spot
light of public notice for that sort
OF. fudge in winning celebrity fails to
preserve respect.
The political judge, who is guided
as the cat of politics is going to
jump, and who searches for the po-
lotical lineup rather than the pure
principles OF law, no matter how sue
cessful he may be, Is not good
Judge.
None of these is good judge.
There is only one kind of man on
the bench who radiates decisive in
fluence for high standards in public
affairs, and he is the jurist who al
ways sincere, manly and with no
personal motive except to be honor
able and just That sort of judge
creates public confidence in the
courts and. If all judges were Of that
stamp, there would be no supicion of
the judiciary. The people would
feel much more patriotic if they
knew they'd always get square in
depreciation of the law.
Honorable judges in peace are as
necessary as brave soldiers in war.
Honor on the bench is not more COM
plicated than honor in any other
profession, or honest walk in life.
1t is simply the RECRUITMENT that in
Interpreting the law. the judge shall
interpret it as he believes it is-no
more, no less,-and that he shall be
in a position to be convinced in any
manner.

as he believes it ought to be, not as
he knows 1t really is. is guilty of the

A Slight Delay.

There has been a slight delay in
commencing work on the obstruction
of the new cement sidewalks on
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth avenues on
account of the non- establishment OF
sidewalk grades on these streets. 1t
was understood that the grades had
all been established, but when spe-
cifcations were looked for at the
city hall, none we're forthcoming.
An engineer will be put at work i'm
medlately to establish the grades,
when the work will be rushed all the

VACATION TIME.

The time is now ripe when every
one who knows the benefit to be OBJ
rained from a little rest and recrea-
tion is figuring upon a vacation, nc
matter how short or simple. A
whole year of strict attention to
ones pursuit is along enough time to
earn a brief respite from toll, worry,
or money making, whether the mo-
tive be necessity, greed or love OF
work.
The hard worked and conscien-
tious person, who can get away from
his labors for few days, at least,
will find new energy in little d.
version that may take his attention
from the routine of his occupation.
The greedy, avaricious person, who
begrudges a few days away from his
money making would also find bit
of his better nature shining through,
if he would for short time mix
with nature or other people whose in
terests are entirely different from
his own.
At these times mans prlmeyal
instinct calls him to the hills, the
streams and the forests. The call
may be so faint that he does not un-
derstand it, but it is a fact that If
he once finds himself in the wilds
of nature, the dormant feeling of
kinsship with his surroundings will
be awakened, and he will be the bet
ter for this little spark of true man.
Each succeeding year he will feel
the call of the wild stronger in his

Jack O'Grady, Paul Hentchell,

saloon keepers whose places of busi-
ness were raided by the sheriff the
night before July Fourth, and a
couple of dray loads of gambling
paraphernalia taken, were fined
$500 and costs, each, by County
Judge Southard last Monday. The
paraphernalia will likely be burned

time.

all too common oifense of wrongtully
making, instead of interpreting the
law: but the Judge who peddles a
/ decision he is soon to deliver among
the political leaders for political
promises, and who is guided by polit-
ical considerations, and who dosen't
make up his mind what he will DO
until he hears this or that, from
certain sources: and who may sign
the opinion prepared by one crowd
outside of the court, or that prepared
by the other crowd Of interested
persons-such a judge is as bad as
the dishonorable legislator who votes

The real work is done over the
whiskey and cigars. When grave,
great and far reaching issues are at
stake, the public does not know and
never knows of the indecent circum-
stances under which the weighty
decision may be determined.
Only those who enjoy the conf
dence of persons on the inside OF
public matters, know about it. Ger
tain lawyers and corporation officials
and politicians and newspaper men
know but the story does not get into

Judges unlike other public officials
posses an immunity that is peculiar
temptation to do wrong. They are
safe from ordinary exposure and
publicity, though their honor may
be cheap as the courtesan s shame.

peculiar weapon of contempt of

the president of the United States
does not have. If executive and leg

general, possessed the immunity Of
judges in their conduct-if they
could send their accusers to jail
without appeal-how the grafters
would flourisE-great booming guns!
how they'd graft! But all that is
necessary on the part Of the jurist,
to escape the temptation, is the same
personal quality cashier requires
to keep from stealing-being hon.

Killed by an Old UnexpIoded Charge

A miner known as Captain John
Brown lost his life at the Nuner
mine, near Mokelumne Hill last Fri
day evening in singular manner.
lie was engaged IN cleaning out an
old drift, that had been caved in tor
two or three years. Another miner
working in another portion of
the mine. heard a blast, and could
not give any explanation Of it, as
Brown was not engaged in work re-
quiring the use of giant powder. He
went to ascertain the cause, and
found his comrade partially dis
emboweled by an unexploded charge
that he had struck and fred in his
excavations. He lived only fifteen
minutes. DR.. Endicott went over
there, but the victim was dead before

No Meeting.

A meeting of republicans was an
nounced to be held in Webb hall Oh
Monday evening to discuss the action
of the republican county central com
mittee in appointing delegates to the
state convention. The meeting did
not come off owing to a failure to
attend. Only some half a dozen
appeared, and with such a slim show
ing it was not worth while to take
any action. IHere were two other
meetings held the same evening, and
that. initiated against the meeting.
But while the crowd failed to mater
ialIze, the sentiment of republicans
generally Is unquestionably antago-
nistic to the high handed proceeding
of the committee in appointing dele
gates. Few indeed there are that will
defend that course. Some, perhaps,
thought it best to let it go, fearing
that agitation might hurt the re-
publican prospects in the coming
local campaign.
