The World and All
"A MAN OF PRINCIPLE

In Cincinnati one Of the most notorious crooks OF
this generation Is caught numbering his wife. This
man is an ex-convict, bootlegger, briber, CRATER and
corrupter Of government. And when he Is caught red.
handed after shooting his own wife down in a public
place, he says TO the reporters:
II am a man Of principle. I have never smoked.
not even o cigar. I never drank intoxicants. ] never
swear"
Well, II would be idle to heap abuse upon George
Remus. His day of mortal reckoning is upon him, and
he will soon find himself without the friends that his
millions of ill-gotten dollars once brought for him. His
lot is sad enough. ] would not cast a single stone to
make it worse.
But We observe here an interesting human charac-
teristic. 1t is difficult to find a man who does not
think pretty well Of himself. I have heard the most
depraved criminals talk themselves completely out Of
breath, reciting their own virtues.
AS q general thing, men are better at this than
women. Sometimes a woman, in prison, in disgrace, or
in a corner, will remain altogether silent, either be-
cause she Ii too badly scared 70 talk, because she il
crying too hard to permit Of speech, or because she
retains enough womanly dignity to realize that there
is nothing 10 be said.
But ! have never seen a man who could not find
plenty Of words with which to make you understand
that it wasn't his fault and that he is really quite d
remarkable fellow whose good points have been over
looked.
Doesn't 1t seem rather remarkable that a man who
has just committed murder can boast, self righteously,
that he does not use ~profsne language or liquor q
tobacco?
But that, again, j. all too human. The great sins
are the sins that We are not guilty Of. The bank-rob-
Der will boast that he does not cheat at cards. The
pickpOcket will tell you how noble he is because he
doesn't beat his wife. And Remus. with a woman's
blood upon his hands, tells the world that he i q man
Of principle, for he neither drinks, smokes nor swearsl
There is nothing 50 interesting, I think, a. the hu.
man race.

Parallel Highway Is
By Damcy

Construction Of a parallel high
way 70 carry part Of the traffic
moving over Highway No. IL, is pro-
posed by County Judge 0. G. Dancy,
who in q letter to the commissioners
court points out that state aid for
a project OF this characer may be
available.
The proposed parallel highway
would be located two or three miles
west Of the railroad to San Benito,
and from that point east Of the
railway to the Harrington connection.
This arrangement, the Judge stated,
would assure highway facilities for a
large area and would eliminate any
necessity for widening Highway No.
~.
r. s. Sterling and w. r. Ely, mem
bers Of the state highway commits
sion, who were in the Valley last
week in company with the state and
division highway engineers, sug-
gested the purchase Of additional
rights OF way and the widening Of
Highway No. H. According TO the
highway commissioners ten feet OF
right OF way On each side would be
necessary.
As an alternative Judge Dancy
suggested that a parallel highway be
constructed to serve additional ter
ritory and take part OF the traffic
off Highway No. IL, and the commits
sioners erinced considerable interest
in this proposition.
In his letter TO the commissioners
our Judge Dancy stated that there
should be no delay in locating a
parallel road. 1T is my opinion that
the highway department is going to
I5-foot portion Of Highway No. ~.
bit il will be far better business for
Us 10 build the parallel road for
the reason that every inch of the
parallel road, except crossing the
Arroyo and resaea will be through
fertile land under irrigation or to be
Immediately placed under irrigation,
and will thus be q feeder road. We
will get an enormous increase IN
valuations 0 boht sides Of the road;
that r., BY putting the same far
enough back from the railroad, which
should be done.
"In widening Highway No. IL we
would have to buy the additional
rights Of way, ard perhaps would be
forced &c pay at the rate of from
$500 GO $500 per acre for every
foct of il, and We win not get M

strongly Of the opinion that we could
get the state highway department to
put in a grading and structure project,
going $3.50 with US on this project.
If we cannot get this. I would es-
pecially urge our getting a hundred
foot right Of way on the proposed
route. and grading up such road with
big graders, spending perhaps $500
per mile; then plug away Mt the
highway department for the grading
and structure project, which will cost
about $4,000 per mile not including
the bridge across the Arroyo. TO
build q bridge across the Arroyo be-
fore we get state aid may be prema-
ture, but to get the road located In
not premature.
1T is my opinion that the state
highway department il going to take
the initiative in the next few weeks. I
think we ought to take the initiative
in the location of this road"

From its inception the college has been directed

Through these media one may have contact with that

Here one may learn something Of the vast envelop-

that earth. its substances and the laws Of their be-

pose that you can become a powerful boxer or wrestler
without your own unceasing effort, rs to suppose that
you can by any vicarious device achieve the limits OF
your intellectual capacities.
The opportunities are far too precious-into their

vcticn-to cast them indefinitely Ut the feet Of those
who will not even try TO improve them. Nor does the
outside world Of business o. the professions judge men
otherwise The drone, the loafer. whether rich or poor
has no right in such a privileged place and must give
