A EGINNING

The meeting of citizens held at the Fed
eral court room Wednesday evening in the
interest of the moral cleaning up Of
Brownsville gives promise of good. This
doubtless will be the beginning of the ac-
complIshment of that greatly 10 he desired
contamination. The meeting was attended
by a goodly number of the best known men
and women of the city-fifty women and
twenty men. There should have been more
present, but what was lacking in numbers
may be said to nave been made up in ear
neStnesS. Many a great moral movement
has begun with less. The meeting not only
denounced vice and the tolerance of vice
resorts in Brownsville, but pledged itself
10 urge the officers 10 do their utmost To
enforce the law and to support the officers
In the performance of their sworn duty.
ID should be remembered, however, that
the step taken ut this meeting j. only a be-
ginning. If the citizens are in earnest in
their determination TO rid the town of vice
resorts, they will have 10 do some hard
work, they will have to be unremitting in
their efforts. Half measures never accom-
plish anything. The friends of the soldier
boys who are stationed at Brownsville, the
lovers of purity and moral cleanliness will
nave to take off their coats. roll up their
sleeves and put In some of the hardest licks
they ever struck in their lives ii they would
combat successfully the evil that lies in
wait for the young men who are giving
themselves to their country's service.
One of the most striking facts brought
out at that meeting was the fact that See
rotary of War Baker has appointed a com
mission Of the strongest men in the United
States whose duty it shall be 10 see that
clean moral conditions are maintained
wherever the government stations our sol
diers. No post Will be maintained where
vicious conditions are permitted to exist.
The government * right. Let those towns
that want an army post get right, too.
The Herald believes the officers will do
thier part If they are convinced that the
people are with them. But 80 long a the
officers can not obtain the testimony Of a
single reputable citizen To assist in the
conviction Of vIolator- of the laws, they
will have an uphill task. Ii takes backbone
70 do this sort of thing. Let the citizens
put real backbone into their effort, and
work hard and fast. Then there Will be
something accomplished.

Almost everybody in the United
States eats more than Is necessary
Herbert C. Hoover.
A true saying that. People a. a rule
do not seem TO realize that We should eat
merely To sustain life and maintain the
body in health and vigor. The average
person eats for the pleasure that the pro-
cess gives. And that is why they eat toe
much. Perhaps the skyward tendency Of
prices of food may result in teaching
Americans hat they can exist very com
fortably with considerably less food than
they are now in the habit of slowing in
their interior department. Ii most of u
would eat only such food a. is necessary
for our well being and give the amount OF
food thus saved to charity, there would be-
a greatly lessened population at the fash
ionable health resorts and also much less
need of charity hospitals To take care of
the enaemic victims of starvation.
