his aged parents whom he has not
seen for several years. He will at

vention at Chattanooga, Tenn.
and expects to be absent about so
days.
A HERALD representative had
the pleasure this morning of meet
ing H. S. Ray. assistant general
passenger agent Of the Chicago &
Rock Island railroad with head
quarters in St. Louis. Mr.. Ray is
a most pleasant gentleman, easily
approached, and isan enthusiastic
admirer OF the section traversed by
the Gulf Coast Line. He said his
present visit was to afford Mr..
Forrest Crissy, who accompanied
him, every opportunity to familiar
ize himself with the remarkable
conditions and agricultural pos
sibilities in this most favored sec
ton of Texas. We did not meet
Mr.. Crissy, who was out on a voy-
age of discovery, but found Mr..
Raw nursing a well developed case
of rheumatism, which confined him
to his car. Asked as to his opinion
of the Brownsville country Mr..
Ray said: I might go on and talk
for the next two hours on the
wonderful resources and POSSIBLE
ties of this section, out it would
be useless. You can just say l am
with them on the proposition, and
am thoroughly in love with the
country, and consider it the most
wonderful section of the universe. p"
Mr.. Ray also said his guest, Mr..
Crissy, was very much delighted,
and surprised beyond measure.
Mr.. Crissy visited Matamoros and
will put in every minute of his
time in investigating the resources
Of the country. The party expects
to leave tomorrow evening for the
north.

The Good Citizen.

The good citizen is the man that
takes interest in his community
and its institutions. He is a close
student of the administration of
local affairs. He has profound
convictions on most of the issues
that arise and displays his sincerity
by his enthusiastic effort to make
his convictions prevail.
His value as a citizen is en-
HANGED by the accuracy of the
Judgment, but it is not essential
that he should always be right. In
fact, man may frequently be
wrong and active in the promulga-
ton of his errors and yet be a
good citizen. He may be partisan
take strong stands on questions
that split his community into
factions-and yet be a good citizen.
On the other hand he is broad
enough not to impute dishonesty
or incapacity to those who are
equally active in opposing his
stand. He is i'll arms against his
opponents policy, not the man.
In other matters where there is no
issue between them and in all that
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1906-04-25

pertains to the Improvement and
progress of the community he
strikes hand with his opponent and
joins in the altogether pull towards
results that can be attained only
by union and cooperation.
To adapt a borrowed fgure-in
all matters social, religious and
political we may be as separate and
disunited as the fingers on the
hand, but in all that means the
upbuilding of Our community as
united and inseparable as its palm

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many Brownsville Household viii Find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches of
a bad back removed; to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur-
mary disorders is enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. To
tell how this great change can be
brought about will prove comfort
ing words to hundred OF Browns
vile readers.
Cleofas Vasquez, Chef at the
New Constantine Hotel. Corpus
Christi, Texas, says: Before I
used Doan' Kidney Pills I was
for nearly two years troubled with
attacks of pain in my back. I
could scarcely get around during
the spells and had to lay off from
work for a week or two at time.
l could not do any work that re-
quired lifting or STOPPING for if I
did it caused a pain in my back
which almost doubled me up. I
tried several remedies but was not
until l got Doan's Kidney Pills
that l found one to give ME relief.
I think so much of this remedy
that I keep it on hand all the time
and it IS the first thing I would
use in case Of return OF the
trouble

Gounod's "Faust" Is Given By Con relds Company In New York
 Without Chorus.

New York, January S.-Gounod's Faust" was sung at the Metropolitan opera house tonight without a chorus, the result of a strike by the recently organ ized chorus union. The chorus on Mon day demanded that the salary be raised nearly 50 per cent. Director Henrich Con reid met the representatives of the union and told them that if the members Of the chorus would come to him as indi- viduals. he would use his best efforts to better their condition, but would re- fuse to treat with them as members of a labor union.
 Tonight when the usual hour for re- porting came, none of the chorus put In an appearance. The opening of the opera was delayed until s:25 o'clock. when. the few members of the ballet were grouped on the stage to make the scenes as good as possible under the circumstances. MT. Conreid appeared and addressed the audi ence. telling briefly of his dealing with the chorus girls union. representatives, and stated that new chorus would be organized in the meantime. MT. Conreid told the members of the chorus that no one who went on strike in violation of an individual contract would be re-engaged for a Metropolitan chorus. The chorus numbered about 150 persons.
