claims which have been filed against
the city during the past year, some OF
which have resulted in the institution

AS TO PERSONAL BRAVERY.

Some one has said that the at
tempt to kill Roosevelt will make
two hundred thousand votes for him
in Texas at the next election. Ii
may be so, but it is not easy to say
why it should be so. VIII it be be-
cause Of the wounded mans I'M
doubted nerve, courage and presence
of mind in the hours that immed-
lately followed the attempt to kill
him? No one who knew his record
ever, for one moment, doubted the
fact that he was personally brave,
and his reputation is no higher in
that respect than it vas before.
Is personal courage SO rare a thing
among us hat we should 90 into fits
OF ectatic admiration over this man,
who made such prompt and spec
%tacular use of the. personal bravery
which Is properly his?
Brave undoubtedly, but there is
perhaps hardly a day in the ordinary
work Of the hospital where he lies
when some person unknown to fame,
perhaps some obscure artisan, does
not display as great courage and cool
ness as Colonel Roosevelt, and moth
ing is said about it.
We fail to see that the shooting Of
him qualities him for president in
any particular wherein he was not
qualified before. The man who shot
him was apparently crazy on the sub
ject OF the third term. Yet that fact
would hardly change, for any SEN
sible man, the fact that the third
term idea is full Of peril for the
country.
We fail to see that Schrank's bull
let can have wrought in him any
change Of heart as to anything that
enters as an issue into this campaign.
1t can not alter that fact that trusts
HOuI Sutu uHuti HIS lOi HitI dulhlllS-
tration, and that his other campaigns
We're financed by people whom he has
characteristic as undesirable citizens.
Democrats will join with the rest
Of the world in admiring his courage.
but unless his injuries have had the
effect Of changing his political views
and intentions they will not vote for
him. If physical courage il to de-
termine our choice for president we
wait TO be shown that he Is drawer
than either Of his distinguished OPP
poneRts.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-10-18

Mr.. Sherman, vice president of the
United States. is interested in a fac
tory at Utica. Among other things
the factory turns out a very excel
lent lot of pliers. The Payne-Ald-
rich bill put the duty on pliers up
eight cents a pound and to 40 cents
ad valorem. A committee of whole
sale and retail hardware dealers
went to Washington, while the bill
was pending, and protested against
the increased duty on pliers. They
were told by sherman, who had
charge OF that item. that they would
have to stand the increase. The fac
tory in which he is interested is said
to make the only pliers in the coun-
try that amount to anything" No
particular comment is necessary
here. Every reader OF The Herald
should be able to make his own CON-
ments.

The Herald can discover no flaw
in Judge pierce's program for cleo

would be 10 eliminate entirely any
man, not incapacitated by blindness
or other physical inirmity, who can
not prepare his own ballot. That re-
form will doubtless come by and by.
but 1t can not be expected at this
time. Judge Pierce proposes moth
ing 50 drastic as that. We need a

The last game OF the worlds series
was O near thing. Ii is an open
question, however, whether the de-
feated team will find consolation in
the nearness. II must be rather exas-
perating for the Giants to think that
the game was tied in the ninth. and
that the final score was made with
two ouis for the victors. Still there
is no getting around the fact that
three is a majority Of one as against
two.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-10-18

The Colonel appears to believe thaI
the abuses heaped on him by po-
pitical enemies are responsible fol
Schrank's attack on his life. Yet il
may be pertinent to ask who sug-
gested to Schrank the idea of prepar-
ing a lot Of documents to be used by
himself, written by himself, to show
his mental and moral condition at
a given time for use in some ~foreseen
emergency. The Colonel is quite
right in his theory that sane minds
should always be mindful Of the
power Of suggestion on unbalanced
in elects.
