AN URGENT CALL.

Every member nf the Brownsvilwe
Waterways Association-every citizen
Of Brownsville every property
owner in the whole Lower Rio
Grande ~valley-should respond to the
call ofPresident Hallam for a meeting
of the association to be held tomorrow
afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce.
Always a most important question the
deep water project has now resumed
such proportions as should give it pre-
,edence over all other matters in the
minds of our people with the opening OF
he Panama canal impending in he near
future every place on theTexas coast
which has harbor facilities is awaken
ing to the great benefits to be gained
from this great event.
AS the nearest of all harbors to the
eastern terminus Of the canal Brazos
santiago has even greater prospects
than all other ports on this coast
1t is the intention now to place this
project on a practical footing, and take
such steps as will push it to the front
rank of those which will receive appro-
priatiOns from the next congress.
The visit of L. $. engineers to this
coast just now. to make a supplemental
examination of this project. and the
visit of the representative of the Nat
ional Rivers and Harbors should serve
to bring the claims of Brazos Santiago
prominently into the foreground.
There never was a time when the outlook
was more favorable. Our citizens are
realizing the necessity for getting tOgeth-
er, if they are to accomplish any great
public enterprise. They are willing to
let political differences be buried, and
work in harmony with each other Tor
the promotion of deep water at Brazos
Santiago. Brownsville men are willing
to work shoulder to shoulder even with
their most partisan foes, when a great
public good may be obtained thereby.
This is the situation now. Let every
one show himself a public spirited. pro
eressive citizen by attending tomOrrOw's
deep water meeting.

THE BARTHOLDT RESOLUTION

Representative BarthOld. republican
congressman from Missouri, proposes
to introduce legislation into congress
giving to that body the exclusive right
to legislate on all matters relating TO
foreigners. But why not introduce a
bill into congress making it unlawful
for any man in the diplomatic service
of the United States to frame any trea-
ty with a foreign nation contravening
the constitutional rights of the sovereign
states of the union to regulate their
W affairs under the constitution.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Barthold's
bill-Or resolution-will get through Il
democratic congress. Quite naturally Mr.
Barthold, in his character of Missouri
republican, is no friend TO the doctrine
of state sovereignty. but it by NJ means
follows that his w state is ready TO
give it up. 1t is by no means probable
that the democratic congressman from
that state will be ready to surrender the
right of the states to say what the rela-
ton of aliens shall be to the common
wealth To say who shall vote and who
shall fix the terms on which the ballot
shall be given. bears a very close rela-
tion to all the other questions that 90
to settling the status of foreigners in
each commonwealth. People who still re
tain some reverence for the rights Of
the states under the constitution, will
not Willingly see their rights to settle
the terms of citizenship. and all the
rights related to it, taken away from
them and placed in the hands of the
federal government.
AS a matter of fact, the Panama sit
uatiOn with respect to free tolls. and
the present claims of Japan regarding
treaty rights, do not give us a high opin
ion of American diplomacy. As we gain
information as to treaties, past and pres
ent, made by agents of our government
We grow less and less disposed to place
our constitutional rights over to the pee
pie in the diplomatic service.
