Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-05-22
How Does This Fit Brownsville 1
To The Herald:

To The Herald:
A town is prosperous and progress
sive only in so far as the land easily
accessible to that town is prosper
GUS and progressive. If the sur
rounding land contains gas, oil or
valuable minerals the town will
thrive greatly. If the town is the
natural outlet for commerce., it will
grow in the exact proportion that it
has easy access to the lands which
produces the articles of commerce.
If the town is chiefly a center of
distribution for the country adjacent
then the towns efficiency is meas
ured exactly by the efficiency of its
means of communicating and deal
ing with the surrounding country.
Every good road leading into a town
adds value to property at both ends
of the road. If a town doubles its
trade by means of good roads. the
value of its property will thereby in
time be doubled also.
Take an illustration well known
to the citizens of Brownsville. A
good road leads out southeast from
Brownsville into the southern end
of the Little Indiana tract, giving an
inlet to the trade of some two thous-
and acres of good land. But the
central and northern portions of this
tract, containing eight thousand
acres, have no roads whatever into
Brownsville. The people there have
to travel southwest four miles and
then northwest four miles, in order
to reach a town four miles distant
as the crow flies.
What is the result to the town?
The mail order business has in
creased in this section, until at least
half the trade goes in this way to
far off towns. Some of the most en-
terprising men in this region make
practically all their purchases
through mail order houses, and the
practice is growing.
A good road straight into Browns
vile would stop much of this, but
it would not stop all of it.
Other causes operate to the same
effect.
When a farmer m to town
there are three things that require
his constant care-tO feed and water
his horse, how the woman shall
spend their spare time, and how L
market his produce.
If a town will help the farmer tx
solve these three problems, it will
soon have all the trade of the sur
rounding country.
If a farmer drives into indianapolis
Ind. he can water his horse at am
Of the numerous drinking fountains
and he can put him up in a livery
stable and feed him for ten cents
For the women there are many Ii
brary reading rooms and waiting
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-05-22

rooms at stations, ard in nan of
the large stores. Even the banks
have seats where a person can wait
for a friend. One need never merely
walk the streets to kill time.
Stockyards. city markets and other
means help the farmer to make his
sales in the city.
Indianapolis was made by its
roads. More than twenty Of them
center in the city like the spokes OF
a wagon wheel. When people ac-
customed to these advantages, are
suddenly deprived of them, they nat
urally turn their trade back to the
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-05-22

Judging by the majority of the
press, the republican papers seem tc
be of the opinion that the party is
capable of producing more than one
man who can rule the country, and
anyway they do not approve cSthe
Strenuous Ones attempt to overturn
the anti-third-term p%recendent es-
tablished by George Washington and
adhered to by every president of the
country since his time.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-05-22

places where these advantages still
obtain.
A road straight east from Browns
willie would add SIS value to each Of
5000 acres. Accommodations fol
horses, women and produce would
add another S. per acre to the same
land. This fair and fertile region
like a bride says to Brownsville:
Come and take me-" And
Brownsville says:
Too busy fussing; wait awhile.
And the bride is clipping with the
Dther fellow, as she always does
under such circumstances.

The probabilities in the Taft
Roosevelt contest still appear suf-
ficiently uncertain to keep the re-
publican-on-the-fence in a very un-
easy frame of mind.

duty in the premises. They allowed
the white incompetents who COM
manded that bunch of semi-dis-
ciplined savages to go unpublished.
No sane man can wade through the
mass of testimony brought out in the
several Investigations of that affair
and come to any other conclusion
than that the men who commanded
that battalion were either crassly
incompetent and grossly afraid or
else they deliberately connived at
homes of the white people of
Brownsville.
Every bit of that evidence was
laid before Taft and Roosevelt. At
least one of the two was a lawyer,
trained in the examination of evil
dence. How either Of them could
have missed the conclusions hat lie
upon the very surface of that case,
as plain as heavens sunshine, is a
thing which passes all understand

that had been possible, than was
