CITIZENS SHOULD Hid.

CITIZENS SHOULD HID
Citizens of Brownsville, without
exception, should lend their hearty
support to the Brownsville Real
Estate association in its commend
able work of placing before the
great American reading public the
advantages of Brownsville and the
Lower Rio Grande valley. Through
its recently organized Bureau OF
Publicity the association proposes
to spread broadcast information
concerning this territory. Not only
that, but it will see to it that the
dhcneseekers from the north who
come into this territory are taken
care of, well treated and given
every opportunity to investigate
for themselves what promises to be
The virtual garden spot of both
Americas.
The citizens of Brownsville can
not afford to stand by and idly
watch the efforts of the Browns
vile Real Estate association. They
cannot afford to allow this body of
men to do all the work. The ben
-e6ts which will accrue from the
1abors of the Publicity Bureau and
the South Texas exhibit which
have been established will be not
for a small coterie of men, but for
the entire country hereabouts.
As il has done for other cities.
so the Publicity Bureau will do for
Brownsville. This city is bound to
grow. 1t may be slow growth at
6rst. but the time will come, and
that before very long. when it will
be by leaps and bounds.
And so it is up to the citizens OF
Brownsville. Do they want to re-
main in the rut in which this city
has been for many years? Do they
prefer remaining a part of small
city in a sparseIy settled country,
or do they want to see a modern,
progressive, busting city of large
proportions? Do they want to do
business on a small scale or on a
large scale2 Do they want to be the
center of thriving, prosperous ter
-itory, or do they prefer remaining
on the edge of the backwoods?
All this now comes to the atten-
ton of Brownsville people. By
cooperating with the Real Estate
association and the Publicity Bu-
reau they can effect changes OF
great importance. By lettering IN
she open and idly watching the eff
forts of those who have the inter
sests of this section at heart, they
may not defeat the project entirely
but they can render the labors OF
fbe faithful few more arduous and
harder of completion. And by pet
ty chickering's. school-boy jealousies
and placing of other obstacles they
ran defeat the movement altogether.
The real estate men are doing
their share. They are contributing
their own money. Let the Browns
vile people do likewise.
1t will be for the common veal.

MISS TARBELL IN ERROR.

MISS TARBELL IN ERROR.
In the February Issue of Ameri-
can Magazine is published an at
tack upon the Waters Pierce Oil
Company and also upon Senator
Joseph w. Bailey of Texas by Miss
Ida M. Tarbell in which that lady,
whose work as a magazine writer
on historical topics has made her
famous, commits several glaring
mistakes, and lays herself liable to
the loss of that confidence which
has been felt generally in her ac-
curacy. The article in question
was apparently prepared from the
vast quantity of false and mis-
leading statements that have been
scattered broadcast by Mr.. Bailey's
enemies, without any of the con-
scientious effort to ascertain the
actual facts for which Miss Tarbell
is usually given credit in connec-
ton with her work. Some of the
mistaken statements in the article
are pointed out and their falsity
plainly proven in an article by
Frederick Upham Adams, the well
known magazine writer. now of
Houston, Texas. One of these
false statements has reference to
the case in which an agent of the
Waters Pierce Oil Company at
Brownsville was said to have made
contract with the company
contrary to law, in regard to which
Miss Tarbell says:
Everybody declared the offend
ing concern to be guilty on all
these points, but nobody could
prove satisfactorily its guilt on any
one of them until finally an agent
was caught flagrante delicto max
ing an exclusive contract with a
dealer. He was clapped into pri-
son, the Waters Pierce Oil COM
pany was arraigued and long,
bitter and sensational suit fol-
lowed
As a matter of fact, nothing of
the kind happened. Mr.. Adams
puts Miss Tarbell straight on this
point in the following paragraph:
The exclusive contract" was
made by the Galveston agent OF
the company with certain dealers
in Brownsville. He was not
imprisoned. The only man ever
'clapped into prison was E. 7.
Hathaway, who operated 500 miles
from Brownsville, and who was
tried two years prior to this on an
entirely different case, was con-
victed for ar entirely different of
Tense, who went to Jail of his own
free will to test technicality, and
who was later acquitted and releas-
ed'
The article by Miss Tarbell in-J
cIudes a number of statements
relative to the noted case of the
Waters Pierce Oil company and
Senator Bailey's connection there
with, which are equally as false
and as easily proved so. 1t is
that writer of her
should accept the bald
accusations of mans political
enemies without taking the trou-
bic to investigate them, and palm
them off upon reputable maga-
zine as results of her own presum-
ably careful research. Is Miss
Tarbell trading upon her reputa-
ton, or is she so simple as really
to be misled by the fulminatlons
Of mans political enemies?

Owing TO our write-up Of the college
anniversary, too much politics and con

to get in a report of the college com.
mencement and it will appear in full
in the next weeks issue.
In this issue of the Register will
be found a call for bids for a site
for the new postofice building. While
there has as yet been very little
thought given to the matter it seems
to be the general opinion that either
the DR.. Collier corner, the old M. E.
church corner or the corner occupied
by Ed Williams residence on Fifth
avenue and third street.
DR.. E. A. Lentz captured a young
owl in his garden the other night
and after building it a home in an
old shoe box, decided to raise it by
hand. He came to another decision
later in the night. 1t appears that
the said young owl belonged to the
boot species and as soon as its rela.
tives knew of its whereabouts they
f1ocked to the box and inaugurated
a boot fest. Now a boot fest and
sleep are impossible on the same city
lot at one and the same time, so
the doctor went forth into the night
and so did the owl.

INDIAN WIFE AsD.Me1mR

The Seminole woman is a de-
voted mother and wife, and her
position in the life of the tribe is
of considerable Importance. She
is the boss of her wigwam, and on
many questions of tribal import,
she is consulted. If she finds it
necessary to her happiness and
peace of mind to obtain divorce
from her brave, she is permitted
to do 50 without disgrace, and her
children are invariably award sd
to her, writes Harriet Quimby in
Leslie's Weekly. In return for
these privileges the Seminole wo-
man is unusually patriotic. She
not only maintains the high est
possible moral standard Of her
people but she excludes outsiders
entirely. Any young squaw who
allows her heart to stray to
rwhite-man, and to allow that
straying to be known, is shbject
to death. There' is a legend to
the effect that one such case .oc-
CURED, and that guilty squaw was
found one day hanging to tree,
where all the women in the tribe
had helped to hang her. Ths'
cherishing of the women. Is said
to come from desire to preserve
the race, and as marriages outside
of the t9ibesvare not allowed and
marriages, in the tribe are, gov
erned by a strict law Of gems, the
women, old and young, are cher
ished as carefully as white women
and the behavior Of the Seminole
brave differs considerably in this
regard from that of the braves in
other tribes where women are
more numerous.
