The Independent Paper.

The independent paper nowadays
is the paper that commands conil
dence, because II II realized that n
paper to be worthy OF confidence
must be to large extent indepen-
dent, said DIR. Hamilton Holt, editor
of.the Independent recently. The
successful papers, the papers OF
standing, hre losing their allegiance
to the political parties. 1t Is no
longer popular for n newspaper OF
standing to say that the worst Re
publican Is better than the best
Democrat. That day has gone by.
People are too intelligent. And II
they know In advance what u paper
is going to say, because 1t isstamped
with party label, they do not want
it. Al least, notvery many Of them
do. The growth Of the independent
newspaper is the best evidence that
Ibis policy pays.

THE KNOCKER ABROAD
AND AT HOME.
To The Herald.

To The Herald:
The other day in Houston / met
Mr.. G. E. 4rice Of Norfolk Virginia
a man of considerable means who
was returning to his home from a
trip through Cuba, Mexico and Texas.
He had Intended to include the Lower
Rio Grande Valley in his trip. stop
ping at Roekport and Arkansas Pass
on his way from San Antonio to
Brownsville. At Rockport and Aran-
sas Pass he was told by real estate
men that the valley was an arid des-
ert Of sand, salt and alkaIi, that yell
low fever and smallpox held forth
here continually, that the Rio GFande
was stream of liquid alkali that
burned up all vegetation with which
it came in contact. and that all of the
Americans who had escaped the raw
ages of disease in this terrible eli
mate and had enough money after
their crop failures in the valley to get
out of it were settling in the upper
coast country. The S. A. & A. P.
Railway agent at Arkansas Pass told
Mr.. Trice that it would take him thir-
ty-siX hours to reach Brownsville
If the trains we're on time-but that
the trains usually run five to ten
hours late and that it would be very
uncertain when he could get back.
Mr.. Trice had ordered his mail
forwarded to Brownsville, but as a
result of the above discouraging ac-
count of conditions here, ordered it
sent to New Orleans and cut out his
contemplated visit to the valley.
So evident was the vicious motive
that prompted this lying malevolence
on the part of the upper coast peo-
pie that readily convinced Mr.. Trice
OF the absolute falsity of every state
ment made to him by them. Mr..
Trice will visit the valley later. and
the question arises in my mind
whether or not some petty. would-be
land man. in his anxiety to sell him.
would knock some equally good
neighboring land and confirm. by his
untruthful. dishonest unsaleshan-
like methods, all that the Arkansas
Pass men have told him.
1t is easy enough to convince in
vestors of the falsity of outside
knockers but, when several apparent
ly honorable valley land men. each
tell tales of alleged defects and
faults of neighboring lands, the pros
pective investor sums up all state
ments and concludes that there may
be enough truth to support them to
make an investment in the valley
risky at best The home knocker is
the worst enemy the valley has. He
drives away hundred men to every
one that he sells. No honorable, |
salesman in any line ever
knocks. 1t Immediately attracts sus-
piciOn to every statement he makes. !
Therefore the knocker is either a fool
or knave and in either event should
be avoided in the transaction of bus ,
mess. The whole valley is good. |
There is not an acre in it that is not
good Let's all push the good thing
along" together
Very truly yours,
r. n. MAGILL,
Secretary !
