Demonstration Here
To Support S. p. at
Opening of Hearing

High railroad Official who will be
here and will include H. R. Stafford, ex-
ecutive vice president Of the Gulf Coast
Lines CMissouri Pacific), which is
strongly protesting the issuance of the
certificate, w. X. Scott, president
of the Southern Pacific Lines, w. G.
Lhoata,. general manager Of the Gulf
Coast Lines, Frank Andrews, Of general
sci for the Gulf Coast Lines, j. H.
Tallichet, general counsel for the South
ern Pacific, and numerous other rail
road officials and lawyers.
A demonstration unparalleled in the
annals of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is scheduled to greet Com
missioner Woodlock in advance of the
hearing, it was indicated in adsices
reaching the Brownsville Chamber of
Commerce Saturday afternoon and
night.
Demonstration Expected
Expectations were that from 1900 to
1000 persons from all points in the
Valley will arrive in Brownsville early
Monday morning, coming mostly by
automobile and carrying banners and
other insignia indicating their wishes
with reference to the entry of the
Southern Pacific Lines into the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. Thousands of
automobiles throughout the Valley car

Towns which have intervened in sup
port of the Southern Pacific's applica-
tion include Mission, Edinburg, McAllen,
Mercedes, and La Feria, and virtually
all others including Mission, Pharr,
Alamo, and Harlingen have adopted
resolutions endorsing the Southern Pa
cific's plans. At San Benito the Cham
Der of Commerce decided to take no
stand on the issue, in meeting of
members, but this was followed BY the
circulation of petitions endorsing the
Southern Pacific's plans.
Alamo contends for honors, setting
forth that it was the first town in the
Valley to endorse the proposal.
Brownsville Endorsement Early
Brownsville was the first city outside
of the Hidalgo county to endorse the
plans of the Southern Pacific, the action
being taken by the Brownsville Cham
Der of Commerce following a visit of
its railroad committee to Houston for
a conference with w. r. Scott, presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific Lines.
Although there was no intimation at the
time that the Southern Pacific expect
ed to reach this city in its program of
extension, the chamber took the action
on the grounds that the city would bene-
fit al. least indirectly if second rail
road penetrated to any point in the
Valley.
With the possible exception of the re-
cent flood control campaign in Cam
eron county, no public question in many
years has created as much interest
throughout the Valley as has the possi-

Reeder, according to Sharp, grabbed

To hold the spirit of the age
Against the spirit of tho time
Our postwar period has been hec-
tic and confused. 1t has been an age
fraught with perils and 1t calls for
sober, sound and reasoned judgment.
In no place ought we to look for 1t
with greater sense of assurance
than in the Christian church. but
sometimes we seem to look in vain.
Where there should be tolerance and
charity, we find intolerance and strife.
Where there should be the spirit of
omradeship, we find the spirit of an
tagonism. Where there should be
unity, we find division.
The supreme word that needs to be
needed today is the one spoken by
Jesus, "One Is your Master even
Christ, and all ye are brethren" Diff
ference Of opinion there will doubtless
always be concerning methods of ad-
ministration, but agreement there
must be concerning the great funda-
mentals that alone secure the power
and permanence of the church. The
classic phrase, I'm essentials unity, In
charity" needs to be remembered to-
day. No one with fair understand
ing OF the times would consistently
undertake to emphasize points of diff
ference, and no one with fai- under
standing of the mind Of Christ would
dare to create lines Of division. The
people Of the world have been brought
together in such intimacy that racial
distinctions have lost their old mean
ing, and what concerns the peace and
security Of one nation concerns all.
craftsmanship of the rarest kind,
coupled with humility, Is the supreme
need Of the hour. The Christian
church Of every name is challenged to
disclose these attributes, and disclos-
ing them to have all their brethren at
their command. President Coolidge
wisely said. I'VE cannot depend upon
the Government to do the work of re-
ligion." II the Christian leaders of
every name can only be wise enough
to see the opportunity which the pres
ent time affords. they can literally ef-
feet a new world and hasten the day
when 'the Kingdoms Of this world
shall become the kingdoms Of our
Lord and His Christ"

his assertion.
1t is undoubtedly the desire of each
municipality to present the best front
possible, and to minimize the prev
alence Of crime. But such endeavors
do not lessen the lawlessness or aid in
the solution Of what has become Amer.
ica's gravest problem. If any city

Local conditions may encourage

of court cooperation, the prevalence
Of crime breeding sentimentality on
the part Of the people, from whom
juries are drawn-these are elements
in the making Of murderers. 1t is
futile to close the eyes upon them.
The murder records grow, and the
false pride becomes another factor in
the terrible equation.
This experience on the part of the
volunteer crime commission shows
that the evil Is national in character.
The commission should include repre-.
sentatives Of every State and every
large city. 1t should have the CO.
operation Of all municipal and State
authorities in the collection of re-
ports. 1t should be given the encour-
agement and aid Of judges, State and
Federal. It should be assisted by all

organized in New York for the study
