LET BRO WNSHZLLES SIDE
RE HEARD.

That HERALD readers may have
an idea of the way in which the
senatorial investigation % of the
Brownsville outrage is being con-
Quoted, the special Washington
correspondence of the New York
Herald on the subject, of March 10,
is copied in today's issue. From
this it appears that the soldiers OF
Maj. Penrose's command have
found no difficulty in clearing
themselves. Even in the face of
Major Penrose's official report in
which he admitted that the shells
picked up in town after the shoot
ing were fred from the army rifles
and convinced him that his men
were guilty, yet the senate COM
mittee seems convinced that the
soldiers had no such ammunition
and hence could not have fired the
shots. While to the people of
Brownsville it seems absurd that
reasonable and intelligent beings
who have read the reports of Major
Blocksom could be convinced that
that these soldiers are innocent,
yet there is no doubt that many
have been so convinced. Men of
high standing, lawyers and jurists
of Northern states, among whom
Judge Conditt of the Appellate
Court of New Jersey may be named,
who have visited Brownsville re-
Gently, were of the opinion that the
soldiers were innocent until they
came here and personally investi-
gated the matter
In view of these facts, added to
the vicious attack that has been
made upon Brownsville's good
name by Captain KiIburn and
Lieutenant Thompson before the
senate committee, it would seem
hat Brownsville should demand
hat it be heard before the COM
nittee also. In the name of the
ustice, let Brownsville be heard in
IS own behalf Surely our people
.annot sit tanely and submit to
having this infamous crime fast
ned upon theml

Tires in the streets, thus also fixing
their identity.
But, unexpectedly to everybody
not familiar with the facts from the
viewpoint of the members of the
discharged battalion, it was estab-
lished when testimony was taken
by the senate committee as to this
particular company, that a few
days after the company arrived at
Brownsville all the service ammu-
milton had been taken up. In lieu
of it only ten rounds of guard am
munition had been issued to each
man. The evidence showed that
this guard ammunition has a lead
bullet without any steel jacket, and
carries only fifteen grains of pow
der. Such cartridge will shoot
at the furthest only about two hun
dred yards.
While it is true that the bullets
found in Brownsville are of differ
ent kinds, there has been no evil
dence to show that any bullets of
the kind used in these guard cart
ridges have been found. Further,
what makes the testimony appear
conclusive in favor of Company c,
is the mute evidence of the-ammu-
milton returns. These figures show
that the company had only $50 of
these cartridges before the shoot
ing, and that they he'd exactly the
same number afterward, and that
this number was turned in when
the company was discharged with
out honor.
There has also been testimony to
the effect that all soldiers who have
been stationed at that post. wheth-
er white or black, have had more
Or less trouble in Brownsville. |
While the Fourth Infantry (white) |
was there, two or three years ago,
1ne of their men was shot and |
killed in a shooting scrape, and |
.wo or three other men and one of
he non commissioned officers be-
,ame involved in trouble of one
'ort or another with citizens of the
own. The white man in question,
who appeared as a witness, told
he committee that the conduct of
he colored soldiers belonging to
he discharged battalion was quite
IS good as that of the white SOL
liers.

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 inha1ned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is inflanl-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out 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 inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

FRIDAY MARCH Is, 1907.
THE WEEK. Y HERALD
THREE YEARS OLD.


With this weeks issue THE
WEEKLY HERALD completes the
third year of its existence, and in
view of the continued success
which has attended its publication,
the management feels that it IS
entitled to congratulations upon
its anniversary. THE Browns
VILE WEEKLY HERALD is prob
ably different from any other
weekly paper in Texas. In near
ly every instance where both dali
~ and weekly editions of any
country paper in Texas are publish
ed, the enterprise has started with
4 weekly edition and the daily has
been developed from the weekly.
In the case of THE HERALD, how
ever, when it was founded there
was no field here for weekly pa
per, as there were so few English
reading people in the surrounding
country at that time. In fact,
weekly paper published at Browns
vile could not have existed four
teen years ago. 1t was not until
the DAILY HERALD had paved the
way by its persistent efforts in
advertising the vast resources of
this section, added to the impetus
which the prospective construc-
tion of the railroad to Brownsville
gave to the interest in this section,
creating a general demand for a
weekly paper to furnish informa-
tion concerning this section to peo-
pie living at distance, that field
for a weekly paper was developed.
So It was that three years ago THE
WEEKLY HERALD was launched.
Previous to its initial appearance
prospectuses advertising it as a
medium for gaining information
about this section were sent to
several hundred persons who had
written either to THE HERALD,
to land agents the postmaster,
inquiring about this country, and
perhaps fifty per cent of these
were listed as subscribers before
the first number was published.
From its incipiency, THE WEEKLY
HERALD has been devoted to the
publication of everything relative
20 the resources and development
of the Brownsville country and its
growing popularity with readers
all over the North shows that it
fills the demand for such informa-
ton.
Today THE WEEKLY HERALD
has subscribers in no less than
twenty-seven states of the Union,
including the following: Missis-
sippi, Michigan, Ohio. Illinois,
Indian Territory, Nebraska, Ten
nessee, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Colo
RADIO. Arkansas. Missouri, Arizona,
Alabama, Iowa, Virginia, Oregon,
New York, Wisconsin, California
Massachusetts,. Pennsylvania, Min
and Texas, besides Mexico
and Canada. This, in addition TO
ats large and growing circulation
in the country surrounding Browns
vile, is the most gratifying evil
dence that THE WEEKLY HERALD
IS a success. On this, its third
anniversary, the management feels
that its thanks are due to all whose
hearty cooperation has helped to
insure its success and to ask :
of the same kind en- (:
enlargement in future.

have given this subject consider
able study, and the result of my in
vestigation is that the Jewish Sab
bath was purely a sanitary institu.
tion. The people of that age were not
as capable Of self government as they
are 10 the present age. Hence it was
nece ssary to throw around them a
great deal of paternalism. 1t was
thought to be essential to the preser-
vation of mind and body that one =
seventh of time should be set apart
for rest. And as the people were not
very we'll informed in matters Of hy-
giene, il was necessary that such
things should be regulated by law.
Now as to the necessity of Sab
bath law at the present time, we
have something far better We have
1000 years of experience which the
Jews did not have. More than that,
we are not only providing one-seventh
Of time for rest but we are actually
growing into the idea that we should
rest at least one half the time. 1t is
now claimed that we should work
eight hours sleep eight hours, and
have eight hours for recreation.
As to the observance of the first day
of the week, we fiud that the primi-
tive Christians met on that day for
worship. But we are not authorized
to call it a sabbath day. If we are
Christians IN the full sense of that
term, we need no law to compel us to
meet on that day. And if our neigh.
bors do not meet with us, it may be
that they have other and better at
fractions.
At any rate, our Christian deport.

church should be such a power for

will be glad to recognize and respect
it. The Saviour evidently had this
much faith in his church when he
represented it as city on a hill, seen

people 10 respect our day of worship

should be done strictly from a sani-
tary consideration. No government
should interfere with the religious
privileges of any people. 1t is the
duty of government to protect all
religious. but no protection should
be special.
Our constitution forbids that con
gress should legislate in the interest
of any religion. The Golden rule un.
derstood and applied is the best safe
guard that can possibly be thrown
around our day of Christian worship.
We need to fully understand our re.
ligious and political surroundings,
and then in the spirit Of our Saviour,
we should stand up for that which
will make the world wiser, better
and happier.

suggest that while we are regulating
ourselves along other lines, that we
regulate ourselves with reference to
the Sabbath also. II matters not what
may have been our early teaching on
this question, so far as present duty
is concerned. To know the right and
to do the right is the only safe posi-.
tion to occupy at any time
There are three prominent theories
concerning the Sabbath, First, there
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1907-05-03

are those who hold the the seventh
day of the week was set apart as
Sabbath in the beginning, and that 1t
will remain divine institution un-
til the end Of time. Second. there
are those who hold that the seventh
day of the week was set apart as
Sabbath in the beginning, but that it
was changed to the first day OF the
week at the beginning Of the Chris
tian dispensatIoh, and that we should
keep the first day now just as the
seventh day was kept during .he old
dispensation. Third, there are those
who hold that the Sabbath was given
to the Jews only, and that Christians
are under no obligations to keep any
day as Sabbath in the sense in which
it was kept by the Jews.
Now, iu the very nature of things,
two of these positions must neces-
sarily be wrong No two theories can
be right where one contradicts the
other. We are either under divine,
obligations to observe some day as a
Sabbath or free to exercise our best
judgment in .the matter. If there is
Divine Sabbath law in fore at the
present time, then we should certainly
obey it. But if there is no such law
in existence, then we should be care
full TO not bind anything upon oui
fellow men against their wishes.
If it be true that the originaI
seventh day Sabbath was intended tC
be perpetuated until the end of time
and not subject to repeal or amend
ment, then there is no question bu
what we should keep the seventh day
now. Or il it be true that the origi
nal Sabbath was changed from th,
seventh day 70 the first day. and by
divine authority, then without
question we are under obligation tt
keep it. But If it be true that tht
sabbath was given to the Jews only
and was purely Jewish institution
then we must look to the teaching o.
the New Testament scriptures FOL
auy authority for keeping any day al
q Sabbath
Now, in order to fully understand
the nature Of the Jewish Sabbath, VIZ
should bear in mind that the Jewisl
government was theocracy. Tia
is, its civil and its religious codei
were blended into one. The Lore
himself was lawgiver, both in matters
spiritual and matters material. AL
legislation was supposed to come di
re,t from the throne of Heaven. But
under the Christian dispensation, thi,
form OF government has beer
abolished, Jesus Christ is now Law
giver TO his church, bat not TO civil
