"secret Enemy"
In 1908, when the revolutionary
Turkish government was for freedom,
Germany opposed it; when it became
tyranpdcal Germany made this govern
ment its ally. The German govern,
ment harassed France not merely be-
cause it was its ancient enemy, but
because its success as republic made
the French people perilous to princes
The German government plotted to re
store the Manchu Emperor and the
Russian Gear to their thrones.
Because the American people by It's
prosperity and power made liberty
desired by all the world the German
government has been Its secret enemy.
Thirty years ago it plotted against our
treaty rights In Samoa; 1t sent its
fleet to WORRY and threaten Dewey

Monroe Doctrine in Mexico. It has in
fifteen years threatened Venezuela,

KINNEY TURNS DOWN
OFFICE OF RECORDER

/ The board Of mayor and aldermen Of
the town of Brownsville elected Will
liam Kinneyt the office of recorder
at its meeting Tuesday night. 1t was
generally understood before the elec-
tion that Mr.. Kinney was an active
candidate for the position, but since
the elecion Mr.. Kinney has changed
his mind and for reasons satisfactory
to himself, has decided not to accept
the position. The board met in special
session Thursday afternoon at o'clock
for the purpose Of selecting another
man for the place. The States-Graph-
ic went to press before action was Ia
ken in the matter.
Mr.. Kinney is a son of A. H. Kin
ney, Esq, a valued member of the
county court, and a nephew of Hon.
William Kinney of this city. He is in
the insurance business here and declin-
ed the position, it is said, for financial
reasons.

MRS. LELL MULHERON

Here was a woman whose life tells
a story so beautiful, so splendid, that
every man, woman and child who
knew her bowed their heads and wept
VIXEN thcy were told "Miss Lell' was
no more.
And here, too, was a sermon in a
life. Placed by circumstances in the
position of public life, she met all
classes with one heart, one sympathy
which came at last to be the common
claim of those who called upon her in
bereavement as in happiness. She be-
lieved in God and loved her fellow kind
No community, no place, has known
stronger, finer woman. She was
worthy Of every faith the people plac-
ed in her, and on the hearts of peo-
ple-all people-there is but one rec
ord for her honor, and that record is
unparalleled. She was true to her
friends, true to her husband, true to
her children, hes mother and all alike
And how strange that in all the many
positions in which fortune placed her
she never sought to avoid the truth,
no cause was so great as to demand
her subservience of principle in meet
ing its issues.
For years she has been the strong,
true friend of the old soldiers and
yearly she labored to honor them.
She has given her strength to this
worthy ceremony, we'll knowing that
the trials and stress of the day would
PROSTATE her. But she never falter-
ed, and when she lay in bed, overcome
by the efforts expended at decorations,
she smiled up into the faces of her
friends and said; Il will be with you
as long as / am able"
And today, the remaining host of
that gray army have gathered and,
with trembling hand and fearful faces
her a true daughter and wor-
thy of the highest honor and respect"
Mrs. Lell Mulheron was a leader
in the community in which she lived,
and those who came to do respect to
her memory held in their hearts

mended. They have held most success
full revival meetings all over the
country, and especially in KENTUCKY
and Texas. Brownsville is very forty
nate to secure these men at this time.
The religious and moral life Of the
community will be uplifted by themin
every way. The tom paper at Groes
beck, Texas, where they recently he'd
meeting has this to say of the
work:
'In point of visible results we have
had nothing like the Ham-Ramsf \
meeting. Hundl eds professed CONVEX
sion-sometimes nearly a hundred at
a single service. All the churches 81
the city have received large additions
to their membership, and there VIII
doubtless be many more additions AZ
a result of the great revival effoft.
Truly, the large number who accept
ed their Saviour is one of the great
results of the meeting, but there are
others. We wish to speak especially
of the breaking down of denomins-
tional walls in the mighty union effort.
All worked together in unity without
the slightest friction, and we truly bs-
lieve the bond of Christian brother
hood is stronger now that it ever was
before.
Contrary to the expectations AZ
many, the preaching was not sensa-
tional. Nobody was abused; no per
sonal attacks were made. While the
evangelist was strong in the conde1i-
nation-especially of the practices that
some do not admit are sinful--his ser
mons were more the appeals of love
than of sensational thrusts, In truth
the discourses were old-time Gospel
sermons delivered with power and dra-
matte effect"

OUR COUNTY SOLDIERS

Sixty-four of our boys were sent
Tuesday to Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga.
The safe arrival overseas Of Louis
Covington was announced last week in
a card received by relatives.
We noticed that Woodville sent two
volunteers recently to the navy. They
are Roy Percifull and Herbert Willis.
An interesting letter from Eugene
Taliaferro to his parents tells that he
tries to make himself useful in what
ever job falls in his way, but he doesn't
think he would make very good
brick mason. He was put at that work
and in making up mortar he left out
the lime. He says that their major,
DR.. Battle Malone, is at the front and
DR.. Edward Thompson is in charge of
their hospital. They are rs miles from
the front. He says the country is
beautiful and all in cultivation. 1t is
a common sight to see women in over
alls blowing, and when hauling they
always lead the horses. 1t is such well
come news 10 know that our DoyS are
willing and eager to do anything that
is needed tp help win the war
One Of our county boys has had the
wonderful experience of being in the
trenches at the front and witnessing
the American soldiers in action. That
was Joseph Nelson. In a recent letter
he said he had not heard from home
since January. Some time during the
spring he had mumps and was taken
to a hospital. Great was his delight
to see one of our Brownsville boys pass
his cot, and he learned he was in DR.,
Malone's hospital.
Harbert Thornton wrote his home
folks that if they knew what he was
doing they would die laughing. Now
we would like very much to know if
Harbert is engaged as a clown for the
company, or what other ludicrous po-
sition he holds.

love, an appreciation, which came
from personal contact and knowledge.
The opinion Of all was "No one can
fill the place she occupied and left va
can't" 1t is seldom that the world
produces such a woman.
In all her many public roles she re-
tanned a splendid ideal, noble person
ality. Her work, social and charita-
bic, was without ostentation or undue
pride, performed in simple, unboast-
ing manner. 1t was her nature to
help, and her heart ever responded to
the call Of friend or stranger, when
trouble came, in such a way that there
was left no doubt as to her sincerity.
Her life was a sermon in its SINGER
ity, purity, and answering devotion
to right. No, cause ever seemed SO
great as to impose servility to its is
sues, or impell her to subserve her
ideals and faiths to its policies. She
was what she was without explanation
or apology. She was an honest wo-
man, and without 1ear OF pu0lc OPINION

Quite a crowd gathered at the city
hall Tuesday night expecting to wit
ness a lively contest for several posi-
tions which were to be filled by the
board of mayor and aldermen. There
were four vacancies caused by the res
ignations of A. NJ. Carlton, city re-
corder; R. R. Rainey, alderman from
the second ward; C. E. Crump, super
intendent of the water plant, and Ed
Richardson, night watchman.
W. w. Crandell, Jr., was elected to
succeed Mr., Rainey as alderman, with
out opposition. After Mr.. Crandell
had been sworn in by Judge Upton,
the completed board proceeded to fill
the other vacancies in the official fam
lily.
For the position of city recorder
there were six candidates, and as
each gentleman in the race had the
backing of his friends, it was expect
ed that a lively contest would be pull
ed off. The names Of the six candi-
dates were placed beforet he board by
the secretary as follows; C. G. Bur-
ton, Emmett Parker, Jesse Roberts,
Jnos R. Green, B. F. Clark, and Will
liam Kinney. Mr.. Kinney's name was

The whole proceeding took place in
the space Of about fifteen minutes
and was over before the crowd awoke
to the fact that the entire matter had
evidently been settled in caucus be-
fore the board was called together.
There was a good deal Of surprise ex-
pressed by some of the unsuccessful
candidates and their friends, and hints
of Crump methods were heard as the
crowd filed cut of the hall, but such
disappointments are always witnessed
after lively political contest.
