EASTER Day.

Easter day. What a world OF
"Reminiscences in the words! Since
that Sunday morning almost TWO
thousands years ago, what an
awakening has come to the Jaded
world with The infant glories OF the
Easter morn! ;,
In many countries, social as wen
as ecclesiastical regulations pro
vide for forty days of surcease from
the whirl of social activities, and
at least an external regard for the
nenitential season. But with Eas-
fer day. there comes joyous re
lease for the eager spirit, and balls,
dances, banquets, carnivals and re-
wells bespeak the JOY of the human
heart at its exit from the quiet per-
iod of lent.
In the churches tomorrow, the
wondrous Easter music will peal
forth from the choirs, and the bells
in the towers will seem to ring OUT
more merrily than ever.
The world is indeed better for
the elories of Easter.

THIS BROWNSVILLE MUST
DO.

There is no town IN the whole
state of Texas just now with any
brighter prospects than Browns
Vile has and very few that have
even half as favorable an outlook.
The town is bound to become one
of the most important in the entire
state, in time, but how soon IS 60
ing to depend upon the people
themselves There are some who
seem TO think that the mere fact
of the railroad bridge being con-
structed across the Rio Grande at
this point is going to make Browns
Vile a great city. Laredo had a
railroad bridge for many years be-
fore it grew to be much larger than
Brownsville. Ell Paso was still a
sleepystown of the manana' kind
for long years after the river was
5ridged at that point. The mere
tact of passenger and freight trains
passing through the town for Next
can points or, vice versa, for north
en- points, will not help this or
any other place, unless something
IS done by the people of the place
itself to attract its share OF the
hundreds of passengers who will
come this way. We have the eli
mate and the soil. but so far we
lack many important essentials to
efect the up-building of the town,
and these can only be supplied by
the people of the town waking up
20 the requirements ofthe situation
and exerting themselves to the
utmost to push the development OF
zhe great natural advantages with
which Brownsville and the sur
rounding country are endowed
This is a work which the peo-
gle of Brownsville must do for
themselves. and not sit idly and
EIstlessly, waiting for outsiders to
core and do it. Until we do il
ourselves, it will never be done.

ter inside the pass at the present
time. A railroad run across the
Laguna could then easily connect
the mainland with one OF the hnest

There is deep water of 100 feet or
more within three or four thousand
feet of the shore of Padre Island,
and jetties extending to that dis
lance would create a current strong

Such a channel would create a

try than otherwise. .

Rousing Greeting Extended to Newly
Welded Pair al Mercedes.

Mercedes::April 17.-When James
H. Griffin arrived in this eth with
his bride, who was Miss White, of
Corpus Christi, he was met at the
railroad station by large number
of friends who had provided an
ox-cart which was gaily decorated,
for their transportation to their
new home, and a Mexican band to
serenade them upon their arrival.
Unable to escape the attention
of their friends, the happy couple
were forced to enter the ox-cart,
which then proceeded leisurely up
the street to the accompaniment OF
sweet music from the band.
About one hundred rice-throwers
Joined in the procession which fol-
lowed the cart, and the young
couple were deluged with the grain
until they reached the seclusion OF
their home. There they were greet
ed with rousing cheers.
Mr.. Griffin is one of the most
popular young men in Mercedes.
He has held the position of post,
master here for some time, and Is
known to almost every person llv-
ing in this vicinity. All have taken
a great interest in his marriage
and the rousing greeting extended
the happy pair yesterday was evil

Deport Syrians.

Because they were afflicted with
trachoma, the local United States
immigration officials have found it
necessary to deport two Syrian
laborers who sought admission to
this country at this port. One of
these. was Joe Jopur, aged 20. a
native of Sehel, Syria, who came
to Mexico about two years ago,
and who for year and nine
months has been living at ranch
on the other side of the river. He
applied for admission two days ago,
but was refused admission, on ac-
count of the disease from which he
was suffering. The other, Abra-
ham Shaheen, a native of Damas
Gus, aged %, was debarred yes
terday. Jopur intended to remain
in this city. while Shaheen desired
to go to San Antoine.
SULLIVAN Anton, aged 18, ma
tive of Damascus was admitted to
this country yesterday. Although
he could neither read nor speak
English, he seemed sufficiently
intelligent to justify his admission
He possessed S3S and left this
morning for San Antonio. where
he hopes to obtain employment a:
a laborer. There are a number o.
Syrians in business in San Antonio

GIRLS SCREAMS DRIVE
ROBBERS FROM STORE
FATHERS LIFE SAVED BY HIS
DAUGHTER
Highwaymen Try to Rob Grocery and
Owner Has Narrow Escape
from Death at Their
Hands

Two highwaymen who attempted to
hold up and rob the grocery store of F.
M. Riggs at 572 Santa Fe avenue last
night were scared off before they had
accomplished their object by a mere
slip of girl.
At about o'clock last night while
the family were sitting in the living
room in the rear of the little store two
men entered the front door.
Mr.. Riggs walked into the store and
inquired what they wanted. Their re-
ply was to point revolvers at him and
order him to throw up his hands.
Instead of obeying the order Mr..
Riggs dropped to the floor behind the
counter and the highwaymen promptly
fired a half dozen shots at him, the
bullets plowing through the counter
and the floor near him.
AS the sound of the shots were heard
Mr.. Riggs daughter, a girl 16 years of
age, ran from the rear room screaming
at the top of her voice, and the robbers
taking alarm at this ran from the place
without making an attempt to secure
any property.
The occurrence was reported to the
police more than an hour afterward
and Detectives Ritch and Roberds were
sent to the scene, but they were un-
able to find any clew to the men.

CHARGE THAT CLERK
HOLDS TWO JOBS
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
WILL INQUIRE
Acting Census Marshal Farmer Is
Doing School Work with the
knowledge and Consent
of Council

Because of a complaint filed by Rob-
ert S. Wagner the civil service COM
mission yesterday cited Bert L. Far
mer to appear before 1t next week to
explain by what authority he acts as
school census marshal as we'll as coun-
Gil committee clerk.
Farmer has had a substitute work.
ing part of the day at the city hall
so that city work would not suffer by
his absence, and has worked early and
after hours to keep up the supply
committee routine.
The census taking is two weeks
task which Farmer supervised last
year also and satisfactorily.
The Wagner communication was as
follows;
"I am informed that under civil
service rules no person Is permit
ted to draw pay for two positions.
"Bert L. Farmer, council COM
mittee clerk and sergeant at arms,
is also drawing pay as census mar
shall.
II do not think the commission
will approve of squandering tax
payers money by this method, as
it Is unjust.
"There are other persons who are
competent to fill the position"
Several members of the city council
said last night that Farmer was
doing the work with their full ap-
prevail and by request of the school
board, which had found Farmer par
ticularly equipped for this delicate and
difficult undertaking. AS the school
moneys from the state are based on the
census returns the position is exceed
ingly important and the board wants
a marshal experienced and reliable.

ELECTRICIAN MAKES CHARGE
AGAINST CITY OFFICIALS

In a communication to Secretary w.

unfairly dealt with by certain city
employees.
Mr.. Cunningham says that for per-
sonal or other reasons he finds he cam
not get a fair and complete report on
electrical work done by him at certain
places in Los Angeles, particularly un-
der permit No. 2702H at 1850 South
Park avenue and permit No. 3S22H at
$40 West Forty-first street.
The commission has asked for more
definite details and will inquire into
the case.
