Governor Hadley is a republican
for Missouri purposes. He will de-
clare himself later on the bull moose
situation. He Is a good prudent
man, Is the governor, but the time is
about here when a successful politi-
cal straddle is becoming more and
more difficult. Better be in on one
side or the other.

The facts related in the foregoing
make an %unsavory advertisement for
Brownsville, for which those who
are responsible for the unspeakable
situation at the water plant are to
blame. In order, however, to keep
our skeleton locked in the closet, we
have not published this editorial in
the mail edition Of The Herald.

AN OUTRAGE.

That the people of Brownsville
have been for days drinking polluted
water is an indisputable fact. The
notice signed by the chairman of the
water and light committee and Of
the helath committee respectively,
and also by the city health officer,
published elsewhere in today's Her.
aid, notifying the citizens that the
water now being served by the city
plant is unfit for either drinking or
cooking purposes, is evidence of the
fact.
This has been known by some of
our citizens for several days, it ap-
pears. On Tuesday l.. H. Hallam
read in The Herald that the city wa
ter plant was no longer able to pump
water from the river, owing to an
other change in the river bed near
tn plant, and that water for the city
was being obtained from the West
Brownsville canal. Mr.. Hallam Wis
tied the plant the same day to inves-
Itigate. What he found was simply
shocking. Mr.. Hallas informs The
Herald that he found the city supply
of water being pumped from a resaca,
which is little more than a cess pool.
The very employees of the water
and light plant themselves are pol
Iluting the lake daily. Pig pens and
COW pens on its banks are drained
into it. Refuse of all kinds is lying
in it. The sewer pipe from the fill
tration plant is discharged into it.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Hallam took
Alderman H. J. Kirk to see the pol
luted source from which water was
being served to the residents of the
city. Yesterday morning Messrs.
Hallam and Kirk took Editor Cum
Minis Of the Sentinel out to visit the
plant, that he might see things as
they really are.
The attention Of the city health
officer, DIR. Fl. X. Loew, and of the
chairman of the water and light
committee, w. S. Blackshear, was af-
forwards called to the matter. They
could not believe it at first. but, on
visiting tn plant, found that it was
all true.
The result was the publication of
tn notice to the public that the wa
ter is unfit for drinking or cooking
or other. household purposes, which
appears in this mornings Herald.
This notice was sen to the Sentinel
yesterday afternoon, but, %unfortun-
ately, too late to be printed in yes
terday's issue.

Can your baby talk?"

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-09-13

This is the plain, unvarnished
tale of how Brownsville has been for
days drinking water that is abso-
lutely unfit for use, how the health
of the city has been endangered by
somebody's criminal disregard of
duty to its people.
Anyone who would knowingly
cause or permit people to drink such
filthy water as is being served to
this town by the city plant, whether
for a single day or for a longer time,
should receive in full measure the
censure which such an outrage
merits. This is no occasion for
playing politics. The evil should be
remedied az quickly as possible, and
the guilty ones should be dealt
with as they deserve. Human lives
have been endangered, some may
have already been sacrificed, on ac-
count OF this deed. 1t can not be
condemned too severely.
The condition of the city water
works is a thing which vitality con-
Germs the entire population, and The
Herald believes that a mass meeting
Of citizens should be called to con-
slider the situation in order to devise
some means of solving the city water
problem promptly and effectually.

Preparations for the Elks' Day celebration to be held at Sea Breeze. Wednesday afternoon and evening.

 with gala style, by a grand automo-
 bile street parade, and in which it is expected. that large number of P F. Bellew, who has this feature in charge has thus far met with wonder full success, and he promises the pa- rade to be a really gorgeous affair. Upon the arrival of the paraders at the Island. a band concert by the parade will ensue followed by field events and fun contests. These will l be followed by a baseball game be- l tween the. Bridgeport ElKs and the Bridgeport Police baseball nine. This game has been hanging fire a long while and as the rivalry between these two teams is very intense, an interesting and highly exciting con- l test is assured.
 l The program for the evening is un- usually elaborate, and in addition to l the band concert by the augm ented Wheeler & Wilson band also includes
 a brilliant fireworks display, a ninia- l ture naval battle, grand prize waltz. l an 3Anateur Night" performance, and various other features that pos l sess novelty.
 | Negotiations for the appearance of one of Americas most famous bird men are also under way, anG if sue. | cessful Bridgeport will be honored by 1 the. appearance of one of the biggest | men of the aerial world. While Bridgeport has been especially favor l ed with notable aerial performances l the one that. the committee have in l view will eclipse all others in daring l and intrepedity.

IN MEMORIAM


 At a special meeting of the di- rectors of the Bridgeport Busi- ness Mems Association, held July 9th, the following resolutions were adopted;-
 WHEREAS, This Association and the entire community has sustained a deep shock and a sense of personal loss through the death of
 CHARLES B. READ who sacrificed his. own life while trying to save others in the face , of known danger,
 BE IT RESOLVED, That this Association hereby places upon record it's testimony to the ster- ling worth and manly character of one who had been for so long, in the forefront of the activities of this, his native city;
 That it points to his record as a citizen and business man with special pride, for he was one who so conducted his business and civic life as to win credit for the vocation which he had selected; That it commends him as an example of the ideal business man; one diligent in business, fair in decision, courteous in his trea tment of all men, yet finding time to serve his city in ways wherein his special abilities were of great value and were freely given for the advancement of the common good;
 That it deprecates his removal from earthly usefulness as sad event, though given the tinge of Brightness by the thought that in death SO WAS he as in life, ever thoughtful of others, ever help ing, ever ready with action as we'll as counsel and that thus he went across the border line in brave effort to save others who could not save themselves.
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Associa- ton and copy, duly attested, be suitably prepared and delivered to the family of our departed as- sociate.
