C0NTENDING FOR THE BEST
THINGS.

The Corpus Christi Caller claims
that NuecC5 county has better roads
than Cameron county, and better, in
fact, than almost any other county
in South Texas, west of Victoria, and
south of Bexar. The Herald can not
speak for anv except Cameron and
Hidalgo counties. 1t doesn't be-
lieve that Nueces county has better
roads than either of these progress
sive Lower Rio Grande counties pos
sesses. We challenge the Caller to
produce the proof.-Brownsville
Herald.
Well said, Brother Herald. The
Caller man certainly has not trav-
elled over u roads, or he would be
slow to compare Nueces county
roads with roads down this way.
Cameron county has good roads
perhaps as good as Hidalgo county
we must have them. The immense
traffic down here demands it; and
~autoists, cyclists and truck farmers
never tire in singing the praises of
Hidalgo county roads. We don't
claim that they are the best in the
state but they are as good as any.

THE TARIFF.

In the coming campaign the I'M
DERIVING ideas of the two great po-
litical parties will be definitely and
clearly revealed. 1t will be seen and
understood that republicanism
stands for a system of extreme pro-
lection that is destructive and de-
moralizing to every right and inter-
est of the American people, while
democracy stands for unequivocally
for a program of tariff reform and
deduction which is essential to the
prosperity and happiness of the peo-
pie and to the growth and expan-
sion of American commerce and in
dustry.
To charge that democratic tariff
reform will be detrimental to Amer
lean wealth producers and wage
earners, whether on the farm or in
the factory, is to talk cant and
hypocrisy. The recurring anniver-
sary of Thomas Jefferson's birth re-
minds us that the American repub-
lie was founded, and its true great
ness developed and established by
democratic statesmen and democrat
ic leaders who have unfalteringly
fought the heresy that a tariff tax
levied not for revenue, but to in
crease the prices and argument
profits, ever was or ever cal be bene-
fetal to the people who must pay
the tax.
Why should intelligent Americans
give heed to the selfish clamor Of
tariff scaremongers? They have
been pampered and coddled until
they regard themselves as owners of
the nation and masters of the people.
With unwarranted arrogance they
threaten disaster and destruction if
their capacity suffers the slightest
check, or if a veto is placed on their
tariff license to rifle and empty the
pockets of their fellow citizens.
1t has been truly said that 1.-THE
Tariff is the Mother of Trusts"
More important and far reaching
than this accurate indictment Of re-
publican protection is the fact that
the tariff is the parent of practically
all the corruption that exists in our
national life and politics. Hon.
John A. Dix, Governor of New York,
in Norman E. Mack's National
Monthly for June.

OROzCO AND THE BORDER.

If soldiers for the Mexican gov
eminent are recruited on the Amer
lean side, and if such soldiers, so
recruited, shall attempt to enter
Mexico from the American side, then
and in that case, the rebel general
Orozco will not hesitate to fire into
American territory. Yet if any
soldiers, entering Mexico as afore-
said, or found standing between the
said Orozco and the American Dor
der, shall have not been recruited on
the American side. the said Orozco,
rebel general as aforesaid, will re-
frain from firing across the Amer
lean border into American territory.
Really, the more we hear Of
Orozco the more interested we be-
come in him. lit Is to be supposed
hat in any case a halt will be called
in any military proceedings that
may be going forward, until each
member of the invading party is
given a chance to show where, when,
and under what circumstances he
Joined the Mexican army. 1t would
be a sin to shoot at the wrong mai
under such circumstances.
All the same. no matter what the
distinguished i%nsurrecto may say
there is no danger that he will do
ANYTHING so rash as the thing he
promises. The time is rapidly draw
ing near when he will be compelled
10 seek a refuge from Madero on
American soil. He will be careful

lean authorities.

TUESDAY, JUNE IS, 1912.
HAS SOMEONE NUMBERED?

Water systems are common to
cities, and hydraulic engineers from
years of experience have the water
systems down to a point where water
is on hand at all times for all
emergencies.
The usual systems are a stand
pipe or reservoir, or lacking this, a
direct pressure system-but no mat
ter which is used, water is available
at all times for use. When repairs
are necessary in any district the wa
ter is temporarily shut off from that
district and 0 from the whole
city.
Brownsville has a direct pressure
system, but whenever repairs are
necessary the entire city is without
water.
There is of course a reason. 1t
is not to be supposed that the direc-
tor of the plant would allow such a
condition to exist if it were avoid
able with the facilities at his COM
mand.
If the facilities are not 1t his COM
mand, why are they lacking? Has
someone blundered?
At the time the remodeling of the
waterworks plant was under contem-
plation the Herald advocated the
hiring of a competent waterworks
consulting engineer. Had this ad-
vice been folloewd n would feel as
sured Of being able to take their
these little inconvenience are as
nothing compared to the serious as
pect of the case.
How about our insurance rates?
Do our citizens realize what they are
paying annually in excessive insur-
ance rates owing to the city's lack
of fire protection? The best fire de-
partment is helpless without an as
sured water supply-and lower rates
can not be hoped for until the evil
is remedied.
This matter is so serious that the
citizens have a right to know its
cause. We have a water and light
committee-can not its chairman
throw some light on this water
question?

TREASON OR NOT?

Gen. Pascual Orozco, jr., has some
of the essentials Of a childlike dis
position. He has issued a statement
saying that he has not been a traitor
to the Mexican government because
he was not in the actual service Of
the Madero administration when he
took up arms against it. He asserts
that he had retired to private life
and that therefore the government
can not make good against him any
charge of treason.
This is about as innocent as the
babbling of an infant and just about
as intelligent. Here is a man who
went into the field and took COM
mand of an army fighting against
the legally constituted government
of Mexico. This army has killed the
officials and soldiers of the Mexican
republic, has destroyed property be-
longing to loyal followers of the
government and has in every way
acted as a public enemy of the Mex
lean government. OroZco has, for
the greater part Of the insurrection,
been in command of this army. He
has publicly announced that he in
tended to capture the City Of Mexico
and compel the president to resign.
Of late his rebellion has shown signs
of falling away to nothing and he
now claims that the government has
not the right to say or do anything
to him because he was a private citi-
zen when he embarked upon mis- re-
bellion. 1t is difficult to determine
whether such talk as this springs
from innocence or impudence, but
wherever it comes from it is sub
lime.
Orozco has also declared that he
is ready to listen to any peace pro-
posals that the government may be
inclined to make to him, and that
if it does not offer such terms as he
is able to accept, the responsibility
Of the var will be on the heads Of
those who do not offer him such
terms as he finds agreeable.
Evidently Orozco has yet to learn
that the man who rebels is nothing
but a rebel until he succeeds. Then
he becomes a patriot. Unless he is
standing as a patriot the one thing
for him to do when his cause is lost
is to hit the train for more con-
genial surroundings. His liberty
and his life have by his failure be-
come the property of the government
he tried to destroy.-San Antonio

PEACH TRAIN SIXTY
SEVEN MILES LONG
Southern Pacific Officials Say Peach
Crop Will be Biggest in Years.
Estimated 5000 Carloads.

More than 5000 Carloads ,ot
peaches will be shipped from the
Jacksonville district this season, ac-
cording to the estimate of the South
ern Pacific lines. If all these
peaches were hauled out at one time
it would be necessary to have a
train sixty-seven miles long.
The International and Great
Northern and the Cotton Belt have
also made estimates of the crops in
that locality which are equally as
flattering. 1t is said this is the
greatest output Of peaches that the
state has ever known.
T. G. Beard, assistant general
freight agent Of the Southern Pa
cific lines, returned yesterday from
the fruit section Of the state. He had
accompanied G.. NJ. Secrest, general
manager of the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press company on a tour through
East Texas for the purpose of ascer.
tanning how many cars and how
much ice would be necessary to
move the crop.
Mr.. Beard stated that the factor.
les of that district will be ready to
furnish the ice and that no delay
from that score is feared. The rail-
road company has also started to
round up the necessary cars.
1t is aid these peaches will be
shipped all over the United States
some of them going as far as Bos-
ton and Montreal.-Houston Post.
