So much for Mr. Gardeners public
utteranees. AS to his record in the
United states Senate, the Journal re-
prints the following from it's Friday
morning issue:
When Mr.. Gardner entered the SEN
ate, on Dec. 4, 1911, the Canadian Rec
iprocity Acct had already been pass
ed, both Representatives Gould and
McGillicuddy and Senator Johnson
having voted in favor of its adoption.
But Senator Gardner has had numer-
Gus opportunities to vote for its re-
peal What has he done? Let the Con-
gressional Record answer.
On May 30, 1912, the Senate added
an amendment to the metal schedule
bill, repeating the Canadian Reciproc-
ity Act. 1t was well known that the
House would not in the first instance
agree to this amendment, and that the
real fight would come up later on the
disa greeing action of the two branch
es. At all events, Senators Johnson
and Gardner both voted in favor Of
the amendment, which was adopted
by a vote of 81 to 81 The House
promptly disagreed to the amendment.
and, on June, u, 1912, it came back
again to the Senate for action. The
record shows that Mr. Gardner was
present on that day. Senator Johnson
voted to agree with the House in its
rejection of the amendment. in other
words he voted against the repeal Of
the reciprocity act. Senator Gardner
was also opposed to it's repeal, and
paired with Senator Crane, who ia
vored repeal. This was equivalent TO
vote in favor of repeal by Senator
Crane, and vote against repeal by
Senator Gardner. The only reason he
did not vote directly, instead of By
the indirect method of pairing, was
because Senator Crane was absent
from the Senate, and therefore. Mr..
Gardner was not at liberty to vote.
Again. on July %, 1912. an amend
ment Svas offered in the Senate for
the wool schedule bill, repeating the
Canadian Reciprocity Act. Senator
Johnson voted against the repeal and
the amendment was defeated by
vote of SO to 80 Senator Gardner, who
also opposed the reciprocity repeal,
was one of the % not voting, being
paired with Senator Richardson, who
favored repeal.
Again. on Aug 3. 1912. another OPP
portunity was offered to vote for the
repeal OF reciprocity in connection
with the conference report on the rec
iprocfty amendment to the metal
schedule bill. The friends of repeal
lost by vote of 80 to %, Senator
johnson voting against repeal. SEN
ator Gardner. opposed as before to re-
peal, was one of the 80 not voting, be-
ing paired with Senator Richardson,
who favored repeal.
Again, on Aug. IA, 1912. an amend
ment to the cotton schedule bill was
offered in the Senate, repeating the
Canadian Reciprocity Act. On the
question OF. the straight repeal of the
entire reciprocity act the friends of
repeal lost by a vote. of 81 to %. Sen
ator johnson voting against repeal
Senator Gardner was one of the 81 not
voting, and was not even paired on the
amendment, yet on the cotton sched-
ule bill itself he was paired: with Sen
atoe Wetmore.

AT THE THEATRES.

The special attractions offered at
night merited the large audieKces
which attended. At the Grand the
attraction was Cinderella with
Miss Mabel Talliaferro taking the
part Of Cinderella. This pretty little
nursery tale is always interesting.
We all remember the story. There
is hardly n that does lot know il.
How we drank in, almost breath
lessly, every word that was read TO
US. How our little hearts ached for
poor Cinderella because she was so
badly treated by her sisters and how
we hated those who prosecuted her.
How we followed her every action
from the time the fairy godmo1her
appeared and decked her with beau
tiful raiment. How distinctly we
we remember her ~queenly bearing,
her journey to the kings castle, her
entrance therein, how she cOquetted
with the prince and won his love.
And how clearly we remember the
feeling of sorrow that overcame us,
when the clock tolled the hour OF
twelve, and poor Cinderella was
transformed TO the little ragamufin
that she was before the good fairy
appeared TO her. And can't you feel
the tears that trickled down your
cheeks when that sad par of the
story was read? And the thumps of
your little hearts when the slipper
was placed on her foot, and how hap
Ply we felt, when again her ragged
garments were replaced by beautiful
ones, and she again rode TO the cas-
tie and met the prince who EMBODIED
her in his arms, and then the clos
ing words: They lived happily
forever ifter.' And the sigh when
the book was closed.
All those little remembrances re-
turned TO all who saw Cinderella
as portrayed by Mabel Taliaferro al
the Grand last night.
The house was crowded. There
were many children present. OF
course, most of The little ones have
had the story read to them, and they
thoroughly enjoyed cinderella" il
picture form. 1t was a great treai
to both the little ones and grown
ups. Mr.. Gilhousen Is to be con
graduated upon securing this pleas
ing attraction.

Buffalo Jones.

Nearly everyone is interested in
the methods used to capture wild
animals. We have seen from time
to time in our local theatres how
different wild animals were killed
and captured. Last night, however,
was the first time that we have seer
the capture of wild animals via the
lasso route. The pictures shown at
the Fox theatre were extremely in
teresting. They showed Buffalo
Jones in the act of roping a rhi-

THURSDAY, APRIL IL, 1912.
FOR ALL CAMERON COUNTY.

One fact which the citizens should
keep before them is that, whenever
committees Of citizens undertake
any public work, the members OF
such committees are direct represen-
tatives Of the community i'm general,
aand are giving their time and SER
Noes for the benefit Of ali. AS a
rule this kind Of public service Is
entirely without direct compensa-
ti9n TO those performing tit is
given as a voluntary offering for
the public good. The only hope Of
reward for such service lies in the
hope OF the ultimate accomplish
ment Of some object which will be a
public benefit, in which the COM
mittee will have no greater share
than you or your neighbOrs. The
members of such committees almost
always pay their " expenses in at
tending meetings. besides deyoting
time and work TO whatever project
they have in hand al the expense Of
their own business.
This is the kind Of service which
the Comeron County Good Roads
Association, which met yesterday at
San Benito, Is performing for the
people OF the county. Every one
Of these men is in earnest i'm the eff
fort % see hat the entire county
is supplied with good roads. They
are devoting their time to the pub
lie interest, and they are doing it
cheerfulIy and without stint, be-
cause they know that when the coun-
~ shall be Interested in every di-
across the border from Matamoros
terest in the county will be directly
benefited.
The Good Roads Association asks
nothing for It's services.
IL asks only that the entire citizen
ship OF the county~wlll take an ac-
tive interest in the highly impor-
tam work which 1t has undertaken.
and sustain its efforts in this behalf.
No great public work acn be accom-
plished without the combined sup
port OF the public.
Therefore let one and all unite in
encouraging the efforts Of the Cam
eron County Good Roads Association.

FIRST RIDE ON CARS IN SUNSET
OF LIFE.


Seniors Antonio and Pedro Cara
were visitors in Brownsville yester-
day from their ranch lands up the
Valley, in Hidalgo county. They
came on a simple business mission.
The thing that makes the visit note
worthy to these hale, clear-eyed old
gentlemen is the fact that in coming
here they rode on the railroad for
the first time in their lives-thOugh
the youngest of them has lived in
this world for more than three
quarters Of a century.
Thus, at a time when most men
have exhausted the thrills of life,
they had reserved this one thrill for
the sunset Of their lives. And the
man who has worn life rather
t|hread-bare is disposed to envy them
the experience.
Why have they held aloof here
tofore from the places where the
noises are, prefering the stiffness Of
the cattle lands? Not from poverty,
for they are men of substance. Per-
haps long ago they imbibed some
thing Of joaquin Miller's philosophy:
And have said-and | say it
ever
As the days go by and the world
goes over.
1t were better to be content and
clever
In the raising of cattle and toss
ing Of clover
In the raising Of cattle and growing
of grain,
Than a strong man striving for
fame and gain"
Whatever the philosophy may
have been. the fact is that the Cara
brothers have kept on the even tenor
of their way for the better part Of
4 century without any particular
yearning for the smell Of coal
smoke, the rattle of b%rake-beams,
or the singing of steel rails under
the crush OF wheels.
The big solitudes bid successfully
for their allegiance. the sweet clean
smell of the country and the lowing
of the cattle charmed them and per-
haps kept them away from the Gin
ders and the sulphur reek.
Kept away until the time came
when they might have this weird,
unaccustomed experience of a rail
way journey as a sort Of dessert at
life's banquet. Something 10 be en-
joyed In leisurely fashion. to be pom
dered over, 10 be repeated perhaps
il they liked it. Ii is a good. sound
program-one that commends itself
to some Of us who would rather
smell the daisies than the acrid
breath of a freight engine.

THE COMMISSION
 IS BANQUETED

SEATTLE, Nov. IS. - The Alaska Railroad Commission was given a banquet at the Arctic Club on Mon day night. There were a hundred guests present, and felicitous speech es were made by Major Jay J. Nor row, chairman of the commission; Dr. Alfred II. Brooks, Commander Cox and E. NJ.

 Major Morrow made the principal address of the evening. He said AIaskans must present a united front, and he warned them against section al jealousy, and he emphasizes the fact that the pioneers of Alaska need ed encouragement
 The government, he said, must take recognition of Alaska's great possi. bilities.
