IN MEMORY OF HELEN RRAzIER.

The beautiful little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. ALT Brazier of South Main
street, aged two years, quietly passed
over the river of death Friday morn
ing, May 31st. She was sick just two
weeks when the angels came for her.
oh, know you could hardly let her
go, but God was calling and you could
but be submissive and say Not my
will but Thine be DONE"
She bore her aff1iction with so much
patience. Her last days were days of
continual suffering. She was the sun
shine Of her home, possessed with a
lovable disposition which made her a
favorite with relatives, friends and
strangers. Her stay on earth was but
a short period. She passed away 60
ing to sleep in Jesus. who said "Suf-
fer the little children to come unto
me. and forbid them not, for OF such
is the kingdom of Heaven"
We will say to the devoted parents
and loved ones, weep not, for little
Helen was too pure to live on earth.
Our blessed Lord had better use for
her. He needed one more jewel to
adorn the New Jerusalem. Heaven
will be brighter, because sweet little
Helen is there. No one can see or
know until they are passed what trials
are to come, but the Gross is not
greater than his grace"
God grant that this precious jewel
so pure, may be the means of drawing
others to seek perfect rest, which she
now enjoys.
To the bereaved parents and loved
ones. we extend our deepest sympa-
tbv A FRIEND.

CHICAGO, June 11.-Western raih
road Presidents at a conference hers
today. decided to contest the 2-cens
passenger laws in al least Eve States
Illinois. Nebraska. Missouri, Iowa
and Arkansas. Following this decis-
ion, the passenger representatives OF
all Western roads agreed not to grant

concluded. The passenger men were
presented with a letter written by
Secretary Moseley. of the Interstate
Commerce Commission TO the Central

the proposed plan for putting National

deavor to have the ruling changed. as
they declare that the life of the or

WHEAT HARVEST
HAS BEGUN

Wheat cutting is in progress on a
few farms in Maury county and by the
first of the week the binders will be
heard all over the county. The crop
his year is not so good as last but
last years crop was unusually fine,
SO that it is probable the yield this
season will be average The market,
however, will open high, so that the
farmers will realize well from their
work. Mill men are offering So cents
now for July delivery, but none has SO
far been sold at this price, though
number of farmers offered to sell at
80 cents. 1t is probable the market
will open between the two figures.

DOESN'T FEAR
PAUPER LABOR
is THERE NOTHING SACRED TO
sPEEcH-MAkiNG PRESIDENT?

Is there nothing sacred, says, the
New York Evening Post. with Presi-
dent Roosevelt? In his speech at Lap
sing. recently, he laid a rude hand
upon the very ark of the protective
systematic need of protecting Amer
lean workingmen against ''pauper la
Dor" abroad. Said the irreverent
man. Il have very little fear of the
competition of pauper labor" He will
next, be speaking evil of infant indus
tries. Little does he know of the
anxieties and tolls of those far-seeing
protectionists who first work their
arduons way TO the discovery that for
eign paupers could be used to enact
a tariff that would make American
millionaires Such unfeeling remarks
as the Presidents must wiring many
a protected pocket. And the reckless
man went on to say that protection
does MS no good at all when we con
tend for the markets of the world.
And this in an address on education!
Surely, II is high time for the Pro
tective Tariff League to get out an
other label like the one it pasted on
Secretary Tafts back, and affix it to-
Roosevelt, SO that all may read. This
man is not good enough protectionist
TO be in the White House"

A New Road to McAllen.

The Editor of the Advance ac-
cepted the kind invitation of Supt.
o. En-. Jones of the HidalgO Irri-
CATION Company and was driven
over the new road between Hidal-
go and McAllen. This road has
been opened up along and parallel
with the Big Canal extending from
Hidalgo to McAllen. It is some
As feet in width and runs directly
North from Hidalgo to McAllen.
It is fine road now, but it is ex-
pected that the County Commits
sioners will supplement the good
work of this Company by macada-
MIXING it and thus make of it a
magnificent driveway and auto
mobile road. 1t was a pleasure,
while driving over this road to
note the many farms being cleared
up along this route and the irrigat-
ed and growing truck farms already
in operation. All these farms are
being opened up by new SETTLERS
and most of them are experienced
farmers. In less than one year,
the Advance predicts that all this
land tributary to this canal will be
dotted with farm homes and grow
ing vegetation and will be sight
well worth seeing. The Hidalgo
Irrigation Company deserves the
thanks of Hidalgo county for open
ing up this road and donating it
to the County.-Hidalgo Advance.
