Former Brownsville Boy Tells Of His
Life in Mexico.

THE HERALD is in receipt of the
following letter from an old Browns
vile boy now in the employ of the
Pullman Co. in Mexico which will
be OF interest to his many friends
here:
Mexico City, Nov. II, 1906.
Mr.. Jesse o. Wheeler,
Brownsville, Texas.
Dear Sir: I am now receiving
THE HERALD daily and I can
assure you it is like getting let
ter from home'-without the cash.
1t is surprising how the Browns
vile boys are scattered. While on
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where
1 ran for two months, 1 saw Emile
Kowalski at Rincon Antonio, and
Franklin and Will Russell at Salina
Cruz, who were all doing fine.
The port works at Salina Cruz
and Coatzacoalcos will be open to
traffic this month and the National
of Tehuantepec railroad expects to
run thirty trains daily carrying
freight from Atlantic to Pacific.
This is a great thing and will no
doubt help to improve the southern
part Of Mexico, which is already
advancing very rapidly. The habits
and customs of the people of that
part OF Mexico are real interesting
and the senoritas" very pretty.
1 am doing fine with the Pull
man Co. and am getting a good
chance to see the country.
With best wishes to all my
Brownsville friends, 1 remain,
yours very truly,

successful issue. / think that was the
first time there WAS any disposition OF

Cummns. The next offense was when

him to serve them because he had been
In their employ before that as rail-
road engineer and also as an attorney
They expected him to serve them after
he was elected to the state office, Just
as they expected Senator James e..

upon that committee upon my recon-
mendation. I said that he wasn't the

AMeRcnAh1s cAIALoG.

At Greene, Iowa, there is a hardware
firm that has quit worrying about cat
alog house competition. In fact the
other fellow will do the worrying from
henceforth since Nolterieke Bros, have
put out catalog OF their own. 1t is
a neatly printed 70-page cataloe, pro-
fusely illustrated with pictures of the
goods offered for sale with descriptions,
prices, etc The firm invites compare
son Of prices and goods with those OF
any large mail order house with the
additional claim that IL there Is any
doubt about qualities the goods are
there in the store where they can be
seen before purchased and if rot as
represented people in and about Greene
guarantee will be made good.
The cuts and the bulk Of the ex-
pense of this catalog have been fur
nished by the wholesalers. 1t is called
a Merchants and Manufacturers Sys-
tenn. Undoubtedly the same book is
being put out under the names of many
other retailers. 1t matters little, for 1t
is a very creditable catalog, and is
bringing business to Nolterieke Bros.
Here is a suggestion which some
day will be coined into money by re-
tail merchants. The leading merchants
in every small town should CO. operate
in the publication of q catalog for the
whole town. Each merchant should
take certain number of pages and
then each merchant should be given
certain district in which he must
see to the distribution Of the complete
book among the residents. Such book
would carry the showcase display in
to every home. With the assis-
lance which wholesalers and man
ufacurers would render in furnishing
cuts the expense Of such a catalog
would not be prohibitive Local job
offices ought to solicit such an enter
prise and supervise the editing.

small town SO far as price and quality
are concerned. 1t has been In the adj
vertising that the small merchant has
been outclassed. II he will examine
any or every farm paper that circulates
in his county he will find whole page
advertisements in every one of them
log houses, showing picture Of their
catalog as big as an unabridged die
tionary, and offering to send it to any
address free of charge, postage pre-
paid. This Is the secret of the mail
order business. The devil should be
fought with fire.

ANNExiNG CUBA.

The right of the United States to
intervene in Cuba under just such cir
cumstances as prevail in the island
VIII hardly be questioned by any per-
son OF any political party. The adop-
ton of the Plat amendment by the
Cuban people gave consent to such
action whenever it became evident that
control Of the situation was slipping
from the Cuban people. With inter-
veption comes great cry for annex
alton. The press generally advocates
II and annexation talk is popular with
the people. The business interests OF
the United States might be benefited
by bringing the island under direct
supervision and control of the United
States. There would seem to be but
one side to that argument, tho the
beet sugar men would undoubtedly
object to any taking over Of Cuba that
would involve Admission Of its prod
ncts free Of duty.
There is, however, another phase OF
the question which should not be for
gotten in considering the advisability
Of such a step, and that is Americas
duty to Cuba as an independent re-
public. When the United States In
tervened to save Cuba from Spain It
pledged itself to stand sponsor for its
independence. It ought to show to the
world now that that pledge was sacred.
The United States should do all in it's
power to restore peace and tranquility
on the island and then turn over the
government to its people. Beyond
that should be left to the Cubans. II in
time they should express g desire to
come under the fostering care of our
government they would not be denied.
But can we afford to force annexa-
ton?
There are not wanting those swho
believe that some Interior motive is
back Of the present trouble; that GER
tain business Interests are trying to
force annexation One thing we may
safely count upon and that is Roose-
welt and Taft will see that Cuba gets
square deal and she will not be CO..
creed intothe union.

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in

may be healed without maturation and

the general assembly, and that law
has never had a word changed from
that day until this.
His next offense was, IL | remember
correctly, he vetoed what is called the
Molesberry bill. That was a bill that
would practically turn the state into
kind of New Jersey, corporation
state, state for the purpose of man
ufacturlng corporations. He incurred
the dislike of the railway men when he
vetoed that measure.
Il think the next offense was, as a
member OF the executive council, which
increased the assessments of the rail-
way property in this state, and this
was the greatest offense of all. He had
to make strong contest to succeed
in increasing the assessment. One who
has never served on that executive
council does not know the pressure
that is brought on man to hold the
railway assessment down. He resisted
improper pressure and raised the as
sessment, and this was his greatest Of
Tense of all.
But another followed. The bribing
power of the railway companies in the
state Of Iowa is the railway pass. Ii
is the commencement OF bribery sys-
tenn that they have carried on for
years. 1t is a very seductive little
piece of pasteboard, but man that
would refuse fifty or a thousand dol
lar bill will accept q railway pass as
courtesy. He succeeded in. Urging
upon the legislature and getting the
legislature to pass a law prohibiting
the use of a free pass. 1t was a grand
thing to do. step in the right direc-
ton; to bring the state out from under
this corporation domination. Now that
is about, as I understand it. a list OF
his offenses, and ] would ike TO ash
YOU if they are serious in-your esti-

II am told that he has increased the
assessment of our real estate in Iowa:

The United States has long made it
crime to sell liquor to those other
wards of the nation" the Indians. 1t
is difficult to make southern white
people believe that this protection to
the Indians is any less needed in the
case of the negroes. 1t should be made
a crime, by state law, and by munich
pal law, to sell liquor to negro. And
il any lesson is to be drawn from the
scenes in Atlanta thru which we have
recently passed, it is this lesson.

| nation of Claude Porter and agreed to
throw their forces against him. There

the managers of MIR. Porters cam

and election day the golden stream will

| Iowa men of all parties should rea-
| lie that the contest is not battle OF
republicanisn against democracy. The
question at issue is whether the rail-
roads and other corporations shall con-
| troll the government of our state. shall
| Governor Cummins, who has stood
| steadfastly for equitable taxation, hon
est government and the control of corr
| porations by law be punished by the
enemies of the people? Can the people
of Iowa afford to surrender themselves
| to the railroads and relinquish all that
has been gained in the past few years?
| What shallit profit democratic far
| mer or business man IL Mr.. Porter be
| elected? The railroads are furnishing
4 money for his campaign; they are lin
| ing UP for him the voters they control.
| His election would be railroad vic-
tory. 1t would check the march of re-
form. There would be joy in every
| railroad office in the land over the de-
| feat of Cummins.
In 1904 thousands of democrats voted
| for Roosevelt. Why? Because they
/ knew he stood for corporation control
and the rights of the masses. Cummins
1 stands shoulder to shoulder with the
man in the white house. Like Roose-
4 welt, he is opposed by the great corpor-
1 ations. Like Roosevelt, he has refused
| to compromise. For the Right is ems
! blazoned on his standard. His re-elec-
ton is absolutely necessary If honest
government is to continue in Iowa. Mr.
Porter may point to his own record II.
4 the state senate; but that record
counts for naught in the face of the
i fact that the railroads are now sup
porting him. The corporations always
know their man and always demand
/ payment for favors; and Porter has
mortgaged the office of governor in adj
| vance.
Protectionists and free traders.
stasdpatters and revisionists, republi-
cans and democrats who believe that
the government should be kept free
from corporation control should unite
/ in support of Albert B. Cummins
Party lines are broken turnout the ma
ton. No democrat or republican knows
today how he will vote al the next ma
/ tional election. 1t is certain that ii the
republicans nominate corporation
man for president the republicans of
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys
| will refusesto support him. 1t is just
| as certain that the democrats of the
same country cannot be voted for a
corporation democrat.
The election of Claude Porter in Iowa
would be democratic victory in name
only: in reality it would be a railroad
triumph. The election of Albert b:
Cummins would not be a republican
triumph; it would be "a victory won by
the people of Iowa over the corpora
tons. Therefore every man, no matter
what his party affiliations, who be-
Eeves in government by the people,
should work and vote for Cummins
