IN THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS.

For the benefit of the Sentinel The
Herald will state that the Browns
Vile Herald Publishing Company is
engaged in the publishing business.
1t matters naught to us what is the
political faith of any patron. When
We see a chance for legitimate bust
ness, we go after it. Business is
business. Politics is politics. The
modern business man never permits
his feelings to govern his business
affairs. The Herald Publishing
Company owns a plant that is fully
equipped for the publishing bust
ness. We equipped our plant with
the future in view. The future that
we planned for is now Mere. We are
fully prepared to print the Browns
Vile Citizen. 1t matters not the
number Of pages TO be printed. We
"a print from four up to twenty
pages, and more, if necessary. We
CIV pANFNANu W pint INO DdBClo
daily at any time that we wish to
do SO, either for ourselves or for any
one else that might want us to print
one. Two years ago we builded for
today. We made a sacrifice to plan
so far ahead. But we believed we
planned wisely. We expect to reap
the fruits of our investment.
Would the Sentinel turn down an
order if handed one by the ~Independ-
ent organization provided it could
fill the order. Well, maybe it would
but we doubt it.
Why should we not print the
Brownsville Citizen? In fact, there
is no reason why we should not print
it, and so we are going to do so, and
incidentally, we will state that,
since we are in the publishing bust
ness, we will print any other paper
that we can publish profitably.

fact, | have seen a great deal of this,
being related to an old volunteer
Of the Civil War, especially in re-
J gard 10 the death of a soldier
either in the army or an ex-soldier.
Our government tries to do the
right thing in a burial and even
goes so far as to have a National
Cemetery of its own and provides
keepers to look after them. HSome-
time ago the United States govern
ment saw fit, as it had abandoned
the post of Fort Brown, TO remove
the remains of it's dead that were
buried in this National Cemetery,
irrespective of whether it were the
remains of a man that died in bat
tie, skirmish, or of disease, SO he
was a soldier of the u. S.
Yet it seems that Our government,
through commercial channels, left
the headstones of the dead with the
contractor to be used or disposed
Of at his discretion.
Now, while Brownsville is doing
the work of improving the streets,
one of these headstones was used
as a monument to mark street cor
ners-probably all right com
mercially, but isn't there a little BIZ
Of sentimentality among men? The
headstone of probably some hero Of
Uncle Sam marks the corners for
the engineers to measure from.
Can't pressure be brought to bear
upon this, to kindly ask them, to
efface, at least, the name of the man
that it should or was expected by
Hthe United States to honor?

The Independents are preparing

nicipal campaign by publishing a
Sunday paper, which will make its
first appearance Sunday, March "a.
The new campaign organ will be
known as the Brownsville Citizen.
and it will be devoted solely to the
interests Of the Independent city
ticket. The Citizen will not depend
upon any particular person to write
its editorials. They will be fur
nished by various members of the
party. The Herald Publishing Com
pany will print The Citizen, this
company having contracted to do the
work and furnish the news, except
ing that of a political nature. 1t
should be thoroughly understood,
however, that The Citizen is in no
sense a part Of The Brownsville Her.

FRIDAY, R %, 1912.
A FARCE.

And still the farce of awarding
Carnegie hero medals to persons
who have become candidates for the
immortalizing process by some brave
deed or other is kept up. The latest
victim to be subjected to this sort
of compliment is brave Dave Trous-
dale, the express messenger who
slew two train robbers who at
tempted to rob the express car on
a Southern Pacific train neal San
derson, Texas, the other day. AS
a recognition Of his heroic act, some
of his friends now propose to Sc
cure for him one of the bits of
bronze furnished through the munif-
icence of Millionaire Andrew Car
negie, so that he may be properly
labeled as a hero.
Think of it! Here is a man who
has been brave enough to do an act
of daring, a noble, and courageous
deed, who is supposed to be silly
enough to wish to publish the rec
ord by wearing a medal relating
the fact.
Perhaps some people who are
really of the stuff that heroes are
made of may possess a sufficiently
expansive ego to permit them to
pose in such a maner. Indeed, the
fact that the Carnegie hero medal
Farce stnl endures proves that this
is SO. 1t is true, nevertheless, that
really braYe men are generally
equally as modest, and would not
be willing TO go about boasting of
their deeds, or advertising them, by
wearing a medal proclaiming them
10 be heroes.
A much more practical ~recogni-
ton of Dave TrousdaIe's heroism
would be to raise a substantial sum
by popular subscription and present
IL to him, both as a reward and as
a token of the admiration which
everyone feels for such a plucky
fellow.

Discovery of the Poles.

Lieutenant Peary found a frozen
sea at the North Pole, or at least,
claims to have done so; Roald
Amundsen found a continent that
may assume the proportions Of Aus
tralia, with mountains $4,000 feet
in elevation above the sea, surround
ing the South pole, and planted his
fixed monuments in Mother Earth
instead of shifting ice.
The scientist and casual student
now know that the earth's axis is
constantly shifting, the magnetic
North is even @ many degrees
east of the geographical North. We
know that Siberia and Alaska were
each at one time in the tropics; it is
skeletons of mastodons, and by the
character of flora and fauna dis
covered in arrested processes of de-
cay.
If the changing rotation Of the
earth upon its axis continues for a
few thousand years, and another
and more insisten race find it nee
essary to rediscover the poles, they
may find the Washington monument
standing on one Of them, a Carnegie
library on the other, with a copy
of The Texas Republic on it's files.
Thus may conservation find its per-
feet work.-San Antonio Light.
