But jeff replied, I'm as safe here
as marching, and safer When the
dogs are not carrying me- nor any one
leading me, you can get on faster;
and that means everything to us;
now don't it?p

TO BEAUTZFY THE PLAZA.

A movement has been started to
5eautify Washington Plaza. The
meeting held this morning and the
spirit animating the citizens in at
tendance IS a happy augury of the
speedy consumation of the plans
TO give Brownsville a beautiful
park. Work was begun on the
6and kiosk today which will be
located in the center of the land
donated by Mr.. James Stillman,
and the committees appointed to-
day will undoubtedly secure the
necessary funds to fence, lay out
she walks and properly prepare
Che land for the painting of trees
and shrubbery. The movement
50 adorn the city by the beautify-
Ing of the plaza is a most oppor-
eune one, coming as it does just
rs work is about to begin on the
construction of the waterworks
system and the electric lighting
plant. The movement will have
the hearty support of the Mayor
and the Board of Aldermen, and
when the arc lights and hydrants
are located. they will see that
Brownsville's first public park is
not neglected. Mention is made
in the report of the meeting that
Che committee will be glad to re-
ceive gifts of trees, palms, shrub
berry and rare plants for the pur-
pose of making the plaza an index
Of the wonderful possibilities of
tie country surrounding the city.
Perhaps, if the committee inter
viewed Professor Green at the
South Texas Garden, many fine
specimens might be secured from
che government and planted on
the plaza for experimental work.
Let the citizens and the ladies
york together harmoniOusly for
the object in view and in few
short months Brownsville will have
Sue of the prettiest plazas on the
continent.

Encourage Your Horse.

The fact that, with few excep-
sion, all animals enjoy human COM
Danionship and that the horse
ranks first in his appreciation of
sociability is fully appreciated by
all who understand equine nature.
1t is utterly impossible for trainer
10 gain the respect and confidence
of his charges if he does not talk
60 them. The amount and quality
OF conversation used in giving
commands or in censuring the
animal when a command has been
r7isinterpreted is not sufficient.
Take advantage of every oppor-
tauity that offers to give your
charge a friendly word or pat; it
will encourage him to greater
efforts and incidentally will place
you on more friendly terms with
yourself.
The horse fully realizes when
one speaks to him kindly, and al
zheugh some so-called human be-
Sugs may not always appreciate the
Kindly tone, the horse always does.
The horse that trusts his master
Kill do anything he can for him,
which is not the promise of a
politician, either. The horse will
do it or die One of the secrets of
all skilled trainers and teachers is
tEst a low, well-modulated voice
IS much more effective than harsh
words or a whip. This is most
especially true of the horse whose
sensitive, excitable nature makes
asm so miserable and unstrung
wien angry words are yelled at
Hlrn that he loses his head entirely
aud the lesson such words were in
tended to convey is not only lost,
but a bad effect is produced

JUDGE THARP'S DEFENSE

The Journal publishes an article
from Squire j. 7. Tharp this week
In which he insinuates that he has
not been accorded fair treatment
from this paper with regard to the
dismissal of a certain case in his
court some time ago. If the
learned judge will properly adjust
dis spectacles and read an article
on the first page of The Journal
of February [, under the head of
The Way 1t Was, )" signed by j.
r. Alexander, who was one of the
attorneys in this case, he will find
that Mr.. Alexander told in about
ten lines practically the same thing
that he has told in a column and
half.
The Journal thought this state
1nent from Mr.. Alexander was
sufficient explanation of the mat
ter.
Did Squire Tharp think The
journal should publish some long
winded explanation in box car let
ters and keep it running in the
paper two or three weeks!
We are always ready and will
ing to publish an article from any
one upon any subject of public in
terest, therefore we cheerfully
publish Squire Tharp's article, as
he says that he wants the public
to know the facts in the case, and
seems to think they have not all
been told.
The Journal would like to sug-
gest, too, while we are on the sub
iect Of facts, chat Judge Tharp
might give the public the facts as
to why he kept his office in blind
tiger den for the past two years.
1t is a we'll known fact that he has
done this, and it has been the sub
ject of comment by a great many
people.
Now, as the Judge seems to be
pretty good at getting up long
winded explanations, The Journal
cordially invites him to do another
stunt along the same line.

bill that would make the whole state
dry. At the last of the session held last
summer the Anti Saloon League in
troduced a bill providing that saloons
in towns of less than five thousand
people close at seven o'clock in the
evening. In towns of ten thousand
to twenty thousand they could stay
open until eight o'clock, and in the
cities above that they could close at
nine o'clock. After hard fight the
measure passed both branches of the
assembly.
While this fight was on in earnest
a member of the house of representa-
tives, acting entirely upon his
personal impulse, introduced a gen
eral Prohibition bill 1t was like a
clap of thunder from a clear sky.
Believing that the time was not
ripe for general movement and that
the bill would undoubtedly be lost,
the Anti-Saloon League, which is
very strong in Alabama, started a
systematic fight on the measure and
through these efforts the bill was
killed in committee. Leaders of the
League did everything in their power
to kill the measure, as they thought
if the bill should come before the
house it would be lost and the cause
would receive a blow from which it
could not hope to recover in years.
That was in August. Now, in No
vember, conditions have changed so
that the League gladly had general
Prohibition bill introduced and work
ed for its passage. The Alabama leg
islature is known as reform body
that gave up most of it's reform
ideas when it met during the sum-
mer. Nevertheless, the Prohibition
movement swept the state in its full
force in three months, the Prohibition
bill was passed and after January first,
1909, no more liquor will be legally
sold in the state

The Alabama Story

The Press of Savannah, Ga, tells with
comments the dramatic story of the sud
den start and wonderful growth of the
Prohibition movement in Alabama. The
story is worthy of more than casual
reading. This is what the Press says
in full:
Alabama has followed in the wake
of her sister states and joined the
Prohibition forces, greatly to the sur
prise of religious bodies, politicians
and even the Anti-Saloon League
itself. Probably no other state that
now has Prohibition can look back
and remember when public opinion
was SO quickly and decisively changed
on the subject.
Prohibitionists have been active in
the state for number of years, but
even in the last session of the legis-
lature they resorted to the local OPP
ton plan, thinking that in time they
could bring on the general Prohibition
