The decidedly ill7natured attack by
the Mercedes Enterprise of last week
on Brownsville and particularly on the
management of the Brownsville base
ball team was hardly deserved. 1t
certainly misrepresents the facts in
the case The Mercedes baseball
management was notified in ample
time, both by telegram and by tele-
phone, by the manager of the
Brownsville team that the game
could not be played, as the local team
was entirely unprepared so that the
team need not have come down with
that purpose in view. 1t is true, the
visitors were met at the train by
a committeeof entertainment but then
Brownsville was not aware that the
AIercedeans intended to give her
surprise party, and so could hardly
have been prepared to meet the un-
expected guests. As to this failure to
pay such attention to the visitors con-
shutting a "heaping of insult upon
insult as the Enterprise describes it,
The Herald fails to see how it could
be so construed. 1t is such common
occurrence for trains to arrive here
with hundreds of visitors atone time
since the great influx of homeseek-
ers began, that the arrival of our IN
heralded visitors from Mercedes I'M
fortunately failed to call forth any
surprise or inquiry on the part of
this city, as to their identity, and Jew
perhaps realized that they were here.
1t can hardly be charged, however,
that Brownsville people are discour-
teous or rude and insulting to visi-
tors The fact that the captain Of
the local baseball team was sick at his
country home. when the Mercedes
team came, should excuse his failure
TO meet the visitors In any event,
for a paper which receives such liber-
al patronage in Brownsville as our
Mercedes contemporary, the entire
article appears uncalled for. The Her
aid regrets exceedingly that such an
incident has occurred, but it feels
that the citizens of Mercedes, as a
rule, are too liberal and broad-mind-
ed to permit the occurrenceto so peri
ndice them against Brownsville, as in
any way to disturb the cordial rela-
lions and amity which have hereto
fore existed between the two GOWNS
The people of Brownsville realize
of course, that it is disappointing to
a good, hearty fan to come so far u
see a game and then not see it, and
regret sincerely the misrepresentation
which must have caused the Mer-
cedes team to come expecting game.
Nothing but the kindliest feeling for
the citizens of the beautiful and en-
ierprising little town of Mercedes is
entertained here. and Brownsville
earnestly hopes that such an occur
renee may never happen again.

sion when he urged reductions upon
 he conference committee he called none of the western insurgents into consultation. his attitude all thro- =gh the earlier stages of the tarir nght had been stud1ously neutral. and while in the end he secured con sessions that the insurgents favored, he showed no sympathy with their attacks upon the stand-pat leaders.
 MT. Taft's ambition in revising tho tariff was to avoid a controversy within the party. He is still so soil- citous about maintaining the party solidarity for accomplishing it's chief purposes" that he protests against any show of indignation and would postpone further tariff agitation ua- ul after the next presidential elec- lon. The western Republicans are angry at being robbed and want 70 cenew the fight at once.
 As harmonizer MT. Taft failed at winona. Perhaps he did not realize how seriously the west had taken his campaign pledges in favor of an honest and downward revision, or that many Republicans there are suli capable of regarding the tar1fT as a moral as well as a political issue. His expression of joy that "a num- Der of those who thought it their cuty to vote against the Dlll insist that they are sdll republicans has not served to make matters Detter.
