petition in the motor industry and
the introduction of the new Ford and
other models has led to widespread
talk concerning further price cuts IN
the automotive industry.
Pools, influenced by the ease of
money and the belated investment de-

actively at work in wide assortment
of industrials in the early part of
the session. Among the many issues
to reach new high ground were Bald

The World and All
A HARD WORLD
By Charles P. Driseoll

Il was a hard world that our early ancestors in
habited. 1t was a world that was filled with hsrdships
fierce animal enemies. and, worst Of all. wicked spir-
its, spooks, evil charms and other dreadful things, ere
ated by the inexplicable imagination Of man.
Claude Anet gives a good picture Of this ancient
world Of primitive man in his book. The End Of a
World" recently published. The book is q fiction
story, but there is just enough story there to make the
picture Of the prehistoric world stand out wildly. IL
lustrations throughout the book are copied from the
walls Of caves in France, where the cave-dwellers used
to spend much time depicting the animals with which
they were familiar.
Anet makes it very clear that the chief troubles of
early man were connected with evil spirits, magic and
taboos. There were many spots that one must not
stand upon, many trees that one must not touch. and
many words that one must not pronounce. because Of
the superstitious dread Of magic.
When the hero of this remarkable book wants the
chief of the tribe to die, the young man makes a clay
image of the old fellow, and then pierces the image
through the heart with a needle.
This bit Of magic is the ancestor Of a strange Gus
tom which was very popular in OUT grandfathers'
times, and is not yet altogether out Of vogue. We still
hear occasionally Of some public persons being burned
or hanged in effigy. This is a survival Of the ancient
belief in magic. Formerly those who burned the fig
ue OF q man they hated, fully expected the person rep
resented by the figure TO become i'll and die promptly.
Nowadays the primitive custom survives, but il is I'M
likely that anyone in the crowd of burners or hangers
actually believes that the magic rite will have any bad
effect upon the person execrated by the crowd.
But occasionally, while we are boasting Of our air
planes and radio, we are shocked by unmistakable evil
dence that superstitious belief in magic and taboo does
survive in its blacklist form. Recently, within a few
miles Of New York City, a grave was discovered to have
been opened, and a stake of hard wood had been driven
through the place where the heart Of the dead man had
been. And the man had been buried over seventy
years. Here was q survival Of the primitive fear Of
vampires. which were believed by our remote ancestors
to issue from certain graves at night and suck the
blood Of certain living persons. This barbarous driv-
ing of q stake through the heart Of the corpse was be-
lieved to be the only remedy against vampires.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-10-24

While France has a right TO protect itself against
our, high protective tariff. which Is alike prejudicial
to French and American consumers, the methods Of
France in doing this have besp neither wise nor far
seeing, and, II persisted in. might produce friction be-
tween the two countries. BY refusing TO the Unitsd
States the most-favored-n nation treaty, France has put
itself in the attitude Of discriminating in favor Of
Germany, q former enemy. and against the United
States. a former ally. Frances position Is an incon-
sistent one and the high protectionists there nov
dominate France As inconsistently as the high protee-
tionists who dominate now in the United States.
The high PrOtectionists for years have insisted
that treaties Of reciprocity must necessarily accom-
pany the high protective tariff in order TO eliminate
the hardships and injustices. Thus we had the Blaine
and Mckinley reciprocity treaties earnestly favored by
high proteetionists and opposed as imprscticsble and
impossible Of execution without producing international
difficulties and ill-will by those who favored liberal
trade relations between nations.
The policy Of reasonable tariffs without special
reciprocity treaties has been completely vindieated and
the department. Of state is to be congratulated that IL
mas at last accepted the doctrine that general favored
nation treaties are the only ones that should he made
and that special reciprocity treaties. so advocated Sor
many years, are impracticable and failures.
France. IL wise. will not refuse 10 grant to the
United States a most-favored- nation treaty and the ex-
IRENE Proteetionists there will soon learn. like the ex.
IRENE protectonists here, that fair and reasonable
tariff rates, which permit fair and prosperous trade be-
tween the nations, are preferable TO prohibitiye rates,
and that the only way that trade relations can be main
tanned without producing international ill-win Ia by
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. treaties which accord equality Of

relation to commercial and industrial expansion will be
the twenty-third annual convention Of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress. which will be held in
Washington, d. c., December z and 8. The call has
been issued for all sections Of the United States in
terested in harbor or waterway development to have
representatives present and to participate in the ef-
forts Of the congress to formulate a comprehensive
plan for waterways transportation which will be ma
tionsl in its scope.
Governors Of all states have been requested to ap-
point delegates in sufficient number to represent all
the various waterway and harbor projects, and an ef-
fort will be made by the congress to enunciste prin-
ciples and policies designed to enlist the aid of the
federal government in a coordinated waterways and
harbors system which will prove a material factor in
the development of domestic and foreign trade.
The ever-increasing Importance Of waterway and
harbor development is indicated by the fact that the
value of water-borne traffic Of the United States has
now reached the enormous figure Of s2e, 722. 600. 900, an
increase of approximately $1,000, o00yO 900 over the 1925
record, and an increase Of over s12,o 100000 since
1921, when the total was s14s2sy 100000.
It 10 difficult TO grasp the significance Of these
tremendous sums, or to comprehend the great influ-
ence water-borne traffic has had in the development
Of the industrial and commercial interests Of the ma
ton. The fact that this increase has been in almost
direct ratio to the industrial and commercial develop
ment Of the nation may be taken as an indication that
the same condition will continue and that future in
dustrial and commercial expansion will depend upon
increasing the efficiency and scope OF waterways ana
harbors.
The value Of the commerce carried on the rivers
and hsrbors Of the nation during the past seven years
is more than one hundred times greater than the ex-
penditures, both for construction and maintenance, in
the past 125 years. Ordinary business sense would in
dictate that the channels Of such a vast and swiftly
growing commerce should be improved and extended;
that the American people should extend unanimous
support TO q movement which is today the real founda-
tion Of American progress and prosperity.
Texas is greatly interested in the National Rivers
and Harbsrs Congress. Texas harbors are the princi-
pal factors in the development Of the Southwest, and
proposed waterways, which viii link the Texas Gulf
coast with the Mississippi, will prove equally important
factors in future development. 1t is imperative that
Texas be represented at the congress by men who are
in possession Of full knowledge of the harbors and
waterways situation in this state and who have the
ability to impress upon the congress the important
part the hsrbors and waterways Of Texas will play in
the future development Of the nations richest sgrieul-
tural areas.
