had planned similar Improvements

bur was unable to fully carry them
out, partly through lack of time
and also because he was asked to
bend his energy to the promotion
of other works. Though his resi-

with another franchise.
Particularly is it difficult to
understand how any sensible per-
son can oppose the bond issue
with a view to giving the franchise
to the Louisiana company which
is asking for it, when the said
company prefaces its very modest
petition by the statement that it
will not touch the franchise for
less than fffy gears. Do the
of the bond issue suppose
for a moment that the city is
going to give away one of its most
valuable assets for term of fifty
years-a lifetime lease on a fran
chise that will be one of the big
gest money making enterprises in
the state within a few years after
it is put into operation? THE
HERALD does not believe that any
member of the city council could
have the face to consent to do the
city such wrong. Yet this is the
that confronts US, if the
bond issue is defeated.

IN MEMORIAA
Sketch of the Life and Work of the Late
Rev. Father c. J. Smith, o. NJ. J.

Rev. Christopher J. Smith wa
born in 1851 in the Diocese of OF
tawa, Ont, Canada. He received
| his whole classical and theological
education in Ottawa College, con
Quoted by the Oblates of Mary I'm
maculate. Even before his ordina
ton to the priesthood. which took
place in 1875, he became a mem
Der of the faculty of that foremost
institution of learning, which was
raised in 1889 to the rank eff a
University. As a teacher, Father
Smith displayed that thoroughness
and conscientious attention to duty
which distinguished him through
life. His next field of labor was in
Lowell, Mass, but the damp eli
mate of New England did not
agree with him, owing to his de-
licate constitution. Therefore, in
1856, he was transferred to St.
Mary's Church, San Antonio, Tex.
For seventeen years, as pastor of
that large and hourishing parish,
he spent himself, with admirable
and untiring zeal and devotion,
for the welfare of his flock who
reciprocated his fatherly care for
their spiritual uplifting by the most
cordial affection.
In 1898, his religious brothers,
the Oblates of Mary Immaculate,
of the United States Province,
chose him as their delegate to re-
present them at the general chapter
of their congregation held in Rome
that same year. In 1908 Ottawa
University honored him with the
title of Doctor of Divinity. At the
same time his superiors showed the
high esteem in which they held
him, because of his learning and
his virtues by appointing him SUI
perior and director of the San An
tonic Theological Seminary, an
educational institution for the
clerical formation of young aspir-
ants to the lofty dignity of the
Catholic priesthood. A more ac-
complished model of all priestly
virtues could hardly have been
found anywhere. Meanwhile he
was the con6dant and private Sc
cretary of the Ri. Rev. Bishop of
San Antonio, who had for him the
highest regard in common with all
the priests of his diocese. It was
with the keenest regret that his
lordship and his faithful collabor-
ators saw the removal of Rev.
Father Smith in 1904 to the Vic
arate of Brownsville.
His work here is well known by
all. After two years of strenuous
the spiritual betternent
of his charges, he was appointed
of the Oblate Community
at Eagle Pass, at the end of
last December. It was there that, !
on the 18th inst, he was suddenly. |
though not uppreparedly called by |
his loving Master to enter into his
rest and receive the reward of
life unspariugly spent in honoring
him and doing good to all.

a HERALD representative a few
days ago. when he was told that a
firm in Louisiana had asked the
city for the said franchise for that
term of years, and intends to ask
for it again, in the event of the
failure to carry the election for a
bond issue for the said utilities.
Why, he added, such a
franchise is worth at least a hun

corporations owning water and light
systems all over the country have
grown immensely rich through
their profits on these enterprises,

Brownsville to give away such an
extremely valuable franchise for
nothing, merely for the asking.
when, by advertising and putting
the franchise up at auction. it
could be sold at large figure"
This view of the question which
is by far the most important thing
before the peOp.e of Brownsville
today is called to the attention of
the local readers of TIE HERALD,
for the purpose of warning them
as to what they will have to expect
in the event of the election on the
question of issuing bonds to build
a waterworks and light system
being defeated. THE HERALD is
we'll aware that few of our leading
citizens prefer that these utilities
should be built and owned by a
private corporation, instead of by
the city. No doubt some of these
advocates of private ownership are
honestly convinced that it is really
the best plan. But THE HERALD
does not believe that any honest
minded citizen of Brownsville
would opp Sc the bond issue. if he
really and fully comprehended the
actual situation which will con-
trent Brownsville in the event of its
defeat.
As matters now stand, should
the bond issue be defeated, the
only alternative that presents itself,
IN order to secure waterworks and
sights-which every sane resident
of Brownsville must now realize to
be an absolute necessity-is to
grant franchise for these utilities
to some private corporation. After
four years of delay, waiting vainly
for private corporations to do the
work, with the most liberal of |

ownership, it could not UNDER
