HAD NEWS AHEAD OF
NEW YORK.

A Binghampton, New York, lady
who is a regular reader of the
Brownsville Herald writes a rela-
tive here that she could not under
stand how The Herald published the
first news of the wreck Of the steam
ship Titanic in its issue Of Monday
morning, April s, when the New
York papers did not publish the
news Of the direful disaster until the
afternoon of the same day.
The fact is, few Texas papers, and
no Eastern papers published this
news that morning. The difference
in time between New York and
Brownsville, which is n hour,
naturally gives the Western papers
that much better chance to get the
latest news. The Herald's hour of
going to press is later by half an
hour than that Of most Texas papers,
which gives it later news sometimes
than that published in the other
Texas papers.
The first new of the Titanic dis
aster was received by The Herald at
ten minutes of three a. m, the same
night that the great ship crashed
against the ghostly iceberg, which
was about six and one-half hours
after the collision. All Eastern pa
pers were printed by this time, and
most Texas papers had gone to press.
The Herald was ready to go 10 press
when the first flash Of the big news
reached it. The forms were held
while the telegraph editor prepared
the copy, which was put into type
at once and dumped in. The Herald
to press perhaps ten OF fifteen
minutes late, but its readers all over
the Lower Rio Grande Valley read
the news of the graet marine catas-
trophe next morning, hours before it
was known all over the East. 1900.

THE L OF A MAN.

In a statement recently to the
$4,000 employees Of the Rock Island
railroad, President Henry q. Nudge
capitalizes each man earning $19.23
a week, or $3.50 a month, or $1,000
at year, at $4,000, because at 4
per cent the mans wages or salary is
the interest on $25, 600. He says a
mar earning 1929 a week is worth
as much as a locomotive costs, but
he adds,
"You can make yourself worth
more, while a locomotive can not.
You can direct your own energies,
while a locomotive must be directed
by a driver. 1t rests with you to
raise your own Capitalization to
$4,000, to 100000, or ever to
$500, 600. Therefore, be careful
about your food, treat your body de-
Gently, and, above all, feed your
mind"

ALAS FOR WILL AND TED
(By the Dope Artist

Alas, they had been friends In
youth, but politics is fierce in sooth,
and Ted was bitter and Bill spoke
plain. and to be wroth with n we
love doth work like madness on the

disdain and insult to his hearts best
brother, and each took pains to haste
the other, and William heneeforth
never more addressed his friend
Theodore; and Theodore called
poor old Will by other names than
dearest Bill. They stand aloof the

Mr.. Hoyt Believes in High Water
Rate.
To The Herald:

To The Herald:
The city of Brownsville greatly
needs a standpipe to furnish a
steady, strong water pressure in case
Of fires. We should also have an
automobile with chemical engine and
other appliances to reach a fire
quickly. All this will cost about
$4,000.
How can we raise the money more
easily than by each user of water be-
ing willing to pay a rather high rate
until we have them. We each thus
contribute in a way that we will feel
less than any other way, for our tax
rate is now high as well as our prop
erty valuations, and we have issued
all the bonds we can. ! believe that
not less than $4,000 should be made
by a high rate per year, besides pay
ing running expenses, old debts, and
keeping up both water and light
machinery in an excellent state of
efficiency. If we can make $4,000 a
year besides furnishing the city with
light and water we will be doing
fine.
! think We all ought to be willing
to assist in this way to put the city
in a position to fight fires when they
come. All say let's have a stand
pipe, but how are we TO get it, if We
do not in this way?
Citizens, put this in your pipe and
smoke Ii.

The Herald warned the president
not to enter a pointed-speech contest
with the Colonel. The Colonel has
the advantage in training and prac-
tice. Also the Colonel has a larger
command of bitter, pointed, vitrolic,
incisive, soft-nosed, steel-jacketed
dum-dum adjectives. And he uses
the first adjective that comes to hand
without "a thought or care" But
