With two fine new hotels of forty

ton to one of that size already in
operation here, besides two or three
smaller ones, all of which are run
on a first class scale. and the prospect
OF the immediate enlargement of

to be reasonably well equipped for
the entertainment OF the stranger

sure TO become known to the travel
ing public as a good hotel town" is
undoubtedly to be anticipated And
when, in addition to the accommoda-
tons furnished by these places. the
magnificent $50 to 300 room tourist
hotel that is planned to be erected
here within the next twelve months.
is ready for the accommodation of
our transient population, Brownsville
may then hope to be hostess to many
hundreds of visitors, who viii be in
dueed by the superior accommoda-
tions offered and the attractions of
this place and Surroundings. to pro-
long their stay as long as possible. As
things are now. Brownsville undoubt-
eddy promises to become one of the
best and most popular hotel towns
in Texas, and her fame as such will
soon be spread abroad by the many
who will enjoy their stay here and de-
part with the determination to come
again and induce their friends to
come also.

SHOULD WELCOME LIGHT
PARTY.

According to the San Antonio Light
the automobile party which that en-
terprising journal is sending to
Brownsville, in order to learn what
aid may be secured for the proposed
railroad from San Antonio to Browns
villel has passed Falfurrias, and Wis
tied Duyal county yesterday and to-
day. The party is now nearing

prepare to give them such welcome
as the harbingers of an enterprise of
this kind merit All along the line,
the Light party has received most
cordial welcome and has been guar
anteed most liberal support for the
road. In view of the prominence of
those backing this move, and the
great results which it may accomplish
for the entire Rio Grande valley, it
behooves the citizens of this town and
county to exert themselves to see
what can done to secure this road
for Brownsville. And the visitors
should be given a hearty reception
and the hospitality of town and coun-
ty extended to them without stint.

M4GAzzNEs IN POLITICS.

The extent to which most of the
leading northern magazines have par
ticipated in the present presidential
campaign gives cause for much crit
icism. and Justly so. There are few
persons who subscribe TO or buy a
magazine for any other purpose than
to secure literary entertainment, and.
as rule, they do not expect to find
political matters discussed in them
at least, not from a partisan
standpoint. When therefore a mag
zine dashes into campaign and adj
vocates one side or the other. at
tempting 20 influence its readers to
accept the way of thinking of its edi-
torial writers or contributors, the
magazine is violating the unwritten
precedent which has been the accept
ed standard of conduct for such pub
LEGATIONS and disappoints those sub
scribers who have taken it in the ex-
pectation of securing reading matter
of different nature. AS things are
atpresent, people who donot wish their
children to be influenced one way or
the other in their political belief.
would do well to inform themselves
as to the peculiar brand of political
doctrine which the magazine he buys
is endeayoring to inculeate through
its columns. before he takes them in
to his home.
