Honors For WilIacy.

That was an extraordinary epis-
ode in the senate when several
North Texas senators took the
floor to pay tribute of respect to
Senator Willacy of San Patricio.
Senator Willacy has rendered dis
tinguished service to the State.
He is a man of ability and patriot
ism. He is a democrat who COM
prehends the principles of dem
ocracy and he is at all times a
courageous exponent of those
principles. The men who felt it
incumbent to testify to his ability,
honesty, democracy and fidelity,
like thousands of others in Texas,
had formed totally erroneous opin-
ions of him because of the famous
Willacy bill which he introduced
some years ago.
That measure greatly irritated
the radical local optionists because
it proposed to place anti-prohibi-
tionists on even terms with pro-
hibitionists. 1t asserted the prin-
ciple of equal and exact justice to
all and special privileges to none.
1t asserted the democractic prin-
ciples of home rule. But the local
optionists felt that such a bill
would destroy their cause and they
proceeded to villify N'illacy to the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infa1ned con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam
ed you have a rumbling sound or irnper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken ost 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 infarned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. ID

kest Of their ability.

Some of the members of the
present senate based their senate
rial aspirations upon their opposi-
ticn to the Willacy Dill and they
eloquently pictured Willacy as a
6end in human shape. They were
elected and became colleagues of
the distinguished senator from San
Patricio and long association has
proved to them that he is wise
aud patriotic statesman. He has
survived, so far as they are con-
earned, the cruel suspicious which
they entertained as to his character
and purposes.
And some day the great vital
principle for which Willacy has
stood will survive the anger and
misconception which Willacy's ad-
Vocacy of it aroused and it will be
honored and respected as it has
been respected in other years.
The Post is glad that men who
once denounced Willacy have
reached the point where they can
do him justice. It hopes the time
will come when excitement, pre-
JUDGE and fanaticism will give way
and the principle of equal and

THINGS MOVING
AT MERCEDES
indication Of Future GREATNESS.
On All Sides.
Business Houses Of Solid Brick Construe-
ion-Resldences Soon to Follow.
Also Fine School Building.
Telephone Exchange MayI.

Things are moving in the coming
city of Mercedes in a very promis-
ing way, and by next winter it is
very probable that the development
which is now nascent will begin
to develop proportions which will
be surprising.
Where one year ago there was
nothing but wilderness of brush
and cactus, now stands Mercedes,
with a population at present of
perhaps three hundred and the
promise of many more by next
fall. Many of these residents at
present are occupying tents, but
within the course of a few months
there will be erected numbers of
homes.for these and others who ex
pect to come by fall. Building is
quite active now, but chiefly bust
ness houses are in course of con-
struction. Among these may be
mentioned the following:
Two-story brick building for
Hancock & Rogers furniture bust
ness, now nearly completed; two
story brick bank building for the
state bank, which is now in process
of organization; two-story brick
for drugstore for L. n. Booth.
The new depot building, which
is a replica of the Brownsville
depot, is near completion, and the
contract will soon be let for a
handsome brick school building,
which will be built at once. In
addition to the large and handsome
hotel which was built some months
ago, these will make quite a fine
showing for the new town. All
of these are built with Mercedes
brick.
Among those who have identified
thus early with Mer-
cedes are James Johnson, ST., of
St. Louis, who is already there
with Mrs. Johnson, and their son,
James Johnson, jr., Monroe City,
Mo. The Messrs. Johnson are
the first bank of Mer-
cedes, which is to be state bank
with capital of $4,000.
The Mercedes Lumber Company
is also establishing a large Timber
yard, which will be under the
of Fred J. Cutting.
An important adjunct to bust
ness life at Mercedes is Geo. S.
land agency. Mr..
Freeman loses no opportunity to
boost Marvellous Mercedes, i
which he does with marked sue
cess.
Among those who will go into
truck growing on the canal in the
fall is W. G. O'Fallen, of St.
Louis, who has bought some fine
farm land, and will build resid- |
ence this summer. Messrs. Camp
bell, Lawrence and Scoby are clear
ing land and will plant truck
next fall. Nessrs.
Davidson and Farmer from |
Patocka, Illinois are also clearing |
land and will plant jointly.
Among other improvements
should be mentioned the telephone
exchange which will be opened by |
May 1st.. at which date the long
distance line from Brownsville will |
reach Mercedes. A 1oO-drop |
switchboard has already been or
dered for the exchange.
By next fall, THE HERALD ex-
poets to be publishing glowing re- |
ports of the development at Mer-
cedes.

HELPFUL ALL AROUND

1.-THE Owens river bonds carried by a
mighty vote and one more step toward
a lasting prosperity for all this end of
the state was taken in Los Angeles"
That sentiment, as expressed by the
Redlands Review, is shared now gen.
orally by the cities and towns of South
ern California. At an early stage of
the owens river water proposition there
was a good deal of adverse criticism
of 1t on the part of other communities.
More mature thought on the subject
and more intimate acquaintance with
details of the project caused a gradual
reversal of the early judgment
1t is a palpable fact, as declared by
the Redlands paper, that the assured
success of the water proposition marks
not only a step, but whole stairway
toward "a lasting prosperity for all
this end of the state" Los Angeles is
the heart of Southern California and
whatever makes for the betterment of
this city is helpful to every district in
touch with the city's arteries.
An infusion of fresh life and energy
will be experienced throughout this
whole section Of the state as a result
of the quickening activity that must
inevitably result in Los Angeles from
the assurance of bounteous water
supply In addition to the present and
prospective needs of the city vast
productive acreage will be added to
the agricultural resources of this end
of the state, together with the spread
of manufacturing industries in ueigh-
boring cities and towns.
And this view applies as well to the
adjacent coast cities, which are in
terested in commercial expansion, as
well as to the interior communities.
Incre--7e OF commercial and indus
trial prosperity in Los Angeles means
proportionate increase in the progress
of the whole tributary section of the

HOPE FOR SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco may now reverently
thank God and take courage.
The first real CLEAN of hope since
it was stricken appeared along with the
righteous verdict of guilty in the case
of Mayor Schmitz.
That verdi was to San Francisco
almost as promising as the rainbow
which gave assurance that the world
should be spared repetition of the
deluge.
The conviction of Mayor Schmitz is
worth more to San Francisco than the
$500, 900, ,o00--or whatever the sum was
realized from insurance on losses n
the great calamity.
That conviction serves to restore
what Is invaluable to every community
confidence in public ability to con-
troll its affairs in accordance with the
principles of justice, honesty and Of
fetal integrity.
San Francisco has made splendid
start In it's moral, material and official
regeneration. The right has triumphed
to the extent Of pulling down the two
main pillars of official venality and
corruption-the mayor of the city and
the political boss thereof.
That, however, is only the beginning
of the vast work of publication need
full to inspire confidence in the charac-
ter of San Francisco Before that work
is completed it will be necessary to
pull down all the other pillars of Of
fetal corruption and to stamp out the
practice of grating from the highest
to the lowest level.
The prosecution has thus far re-
deemed it's promise to utterly root out
official graft in San Francisco. The
promise covers the conviction OF both
givers and receivers Of graft money.
the high up" the low down"
and all intermediate classes. There
has been a good deal of criticism of
the prosecution, based on the assump-
ton of favoritism in the broad pro-
gram, but much of the criticism is dis
trial.
Every Californian desires to see San
Francisco really enact the role of
see it rise from its ashes
purified by it's fiery ordeal. The graf
flying start now made in the moral
and official publication of the city is
pleasing to every community in the
state.
And If the present bright prospect
sndures until the end of the purifying
process, every Californian will feel a
Just sense of pride in the regenerated
,ity of the Golden Gate.
