From the Corpus Christi Herald
Brownsville and the Valley of the
Lower Rio Grande have every reason
to be proud of their representation
at the late Waterways Convention.
II was easily the most conspicuous of
all the delegations, and each delegate
was in himself a committee whose
/ pleasure it was to boost his match
/ less Valley They came with music
and soldiers, and We viii state here
/ that the soldiers proved themselves
invaluable in assisting the local po-
( lice. Those soldier boys, under the
leadership of the gallant Capt
I George Head, attracted attention ev-
erywhere by their sOldierly bearing
aud they made friends among all
classes by their gentlemanly deport-
ment And that other attachment
of the Valley delegation-the MeXi-
can military band from Matamoros-
wen, the band did its part toward
making the delegation conspicuous
and popular and Corpus Christi adds
it's gratitude to that of others for the
pleasure the band gave by its en-
trancing Mexican airs, which impart-
ed life aud gaiety TO the great occas-
ion. With their big Mexican SOM
brerOS and stalks of sugar cane to
which were attached the Stars and
stripes, the delegates proper were
the comment and admiration of all
as they marched through the streets I
from their special train to their 4
headquarters in the Doddridge build
ing. All hail, to the Valley of the .
Lower Rio Grande and may it con- .
tinUe to bloom and flourish as a .
green bay tree, And with such men /
as those who came TO Corpus Christi, /
TO tell its wonders to the out .
side world, it is a settled fact that .
continue to hold its place on the .
Texas map and on the map of this
glorious universe. And TO all this
may be added the fact that one of
the ablest speeches delivered before
the convention was delivered by a
brownsville delegate-Mr. Louis
Cobolini, the friend of Louis Kossuth
and soldier under Garibaldi,
We understand that some of our
Lower Rio Grande Valley friends
went away yesterday a little sore
over supposed neglect regarding in
vjtations to Friday nights smoker.
We are sorry that there has been a
misunderstanding. The smoker was
siyen complimentary to the visiting
delegates and a general invitation to
one and all was extended through
the press. We look on the people
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, in
general, as first cousins, and those
of Brownsville, in particular, as
brothers, and under no circumstances
would we have them go away feeling
that they were in any manner what
ever, sighted II there was a misun-
we assure our Valley
in all sincerity, that it
was one of those uncalled-for incl
dents that sometimes occur when
least expected.

HYMAN LEVY.

In the death of Hyman Levy the
Jews of Houston have met a severe
loss. We speak of his place in our
community, for though a willing help
er, he was not an active leader. But
his life was valuable to us as an ex-
ample where business instinct har-
monized with square dealing. He was
a successful merchant, shrewd finan-
cier and an honest man. After siren
uous, but a short career, the book of
his life is closed and every page a
fair one. Against the type of venal
Jew portrayed by fiction and the dra-
ma, we place the life of Hyman Levy
as a man worthy of his people.

does not excuse but rather impels us
to maintain a similar institution
A Jewish father recently complain
ed to the writer that his son was
squandering time and money in the
pool rooms. That boy needs a social
club where he can engage in refined
pastimes. 1t would pay that father

his purse and help the Jewish Lit

The murder of a young woman by

THE GALVESTON PLAN.

Much has been written in praise of
the Galveston plan of municipal gov
eminent and many cities throughout
the land are studying and following it,
But Galveston possesses another
model in it's Jewish community In a
recent issue of his paper, Jacob de
Haas describes the Jewish community
of that city as the sanest in America
The credit for this condition he gives
to it's rabbi, Henry Cohen. This fact
is both interesting and instructive. 1t
demonstrates that the progress of a
community depends primarily on it's
rabbi and that good work brings good
results What Rabbi Cohen has done
another rabbi can do if he has the
same qualities and employs the same
methods. If he lacks such qualities
or employs weaker methods, the fault
lies in the Individual and not in the
position. We suggest for the next
conference a talk by Rabbi Cohen on
how he does it, One example is more
helpful than twenty precepts

AN AIR CASTLE.

A few months ago it was announc-

Literary society would build it's own

wise to blow SO early or so loud is
beside the question. But two things
are true. One is that no progress has
been made with the building; another
is that it is badly needed. Other peo-
pie are taking care of the moral and

PURCHASES THE SITE
OF BALDWIN ANNEX
A. Aronson Secures Property
for Nearly Half a Million

deal involving nearly half million
dollars was closed Friday, which, in
addition TO being one of the most inn
portapt ones for many months, is of
unusual interest. The property involved
is the lot in the north line of Market
street next to the Flood building, hav-
ing frontage of nearly 64 feet in
Market street, extending through to
Ellis. in which ii has a frontage of
about 25 feet inches. The property
IS owned by the estate Of t. j. Bald
win. In 1902 A. Aronson entered into
q contract with F. j. Baldwin, through
Thomas Magee & Sons for the pur-
chase OF the lot in question, upon which
was then located the building known
as the Baldwin annex The price at
which Aronson contracted to buy the
property was s450.000 Aronson paid
$4,000 on account, but Baldwin re-
pented Of the bargain and refused to
accept the balance of the purchase
money and to make a deed TO Aronson.
The result of the controversy was a
lawsuit in which Baldwin was a
plaintiff and Aronson the defendant
A decision was rendered in the su-
perior court and an appeal was taken
by Baldwin to the supreme court, where
the case is pending Negotiations were
recently opened with Aronson by H. A.
Inruh executor of the Baldwin estate,
which resulted in an agreement on the
part of the executor TO dismiss the
suit and let the decision Of the sH-
perior court become final, provided
ATonsoB would agree to pay s450.000 for
the property as ia the original contract
Notwithstanding the fact that the

building was destroyed in the fire of
1906, it is generally admitted that the
vacant lot today is worth as much as
the land and improvements were in
1902, and Aronson has accepted the Of
fer of the executor and transfer of
the property will be made within 30
days
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Aronson said:
Notwithstanding my heavy losses in
the fire and the large expenditures

storing my building at the northwest
corner of Third and Mission streets,
