VICTOR BERGER. BUGLER
Dallas Newsl

The clarion call for the formation Of . third party
this prediction year does not come from the capable
and recalcitrant Mr. Borah. II is not the inspiration
Of the Anti-Saloon League nor the desperation OF sgri-
cultuylsts. It is from Victor Berger, the man who has
been q ore-man party in Congress for SO long q time
that he is tired Of IL. Not that Mr.. Berger pales at
opposition. He thrives on IL, and that right stoutly.
But ss a partisan and prophet CT the millennium for
the masses he Is ready for the dawning Of Der Tag.
He hopes the third party will be the Socialist
party. He admits il may be some other. He wants to
see IL provide for the abolition OF capitalism. In other
words, he would prescribe interest. He would prohibit
rent. He would make profit a crime. The doing OF
these things he Endorses under any name. The third
party may call itself what it will. In Russia it is the
In other countries it has worn other names. But every
where il has been associated with want and discomfort,
and in many instances it has ridden on the wings of
violence and terrorism.
Berger is no terrorist. But hard times are his po-
litical stock in trade. Where contentment reigns the
ballot goes against him. For contentment is the at
mosphere Of peace and plenty. Peace implies the con-
fidence and plenty the savings for investments. And,
10, herein we have capital. the arch enemy of Socialism.
Third parties in the United States have never been
main streams Of political influence, nor have they Of
ten threatened 10 become such. They are babbling
brooks for the most part. Sometimes they are seasonal
freshets which cleanse while they buster and brswl.
Once in a while they turn out to be bypasses for over
flow discomfort, relieving the major parties of a few
hundred thousand voters without removing these ut
terly from civic currents. Thus the third party has
been helpful, even when its avowed program has been
utter unwisdom and its leadership essentially unworthy.

The World and All
BIG JOBS AHEAD
By Charles P. Driscoll

The boys and girls who are now in high school and
college are going to find some big jobs awaiting them
when they get out Of school.
We elders are leaving plenty for the next genera
ton to do The period since the World war has been
perhaps the most interesting and the most exciting
period in all the worlds history. Much has been &C
complished. But there's q great period ahead, If
the men and women are ready to make the most Of il.
The common cold remains perhaps the greatest
enemy Of human life and comfort on earth. During the
last ten or twenty thousand years practically nothing
has been done about il. Some bright pupil now In high
school may DO as much for victims Of the common cold
as has been done within the last few years for victims
Of diabetes.
Cancer. diseases OF the heart, and tuberculosis
still rage terribly among the sons-o Of men. Within the
last two generations, progress has been made in the
conquest Of tuberculosis. Only the most elementary
progress has been made toward battling successfully
against cancer and heart diseases. There's plenty Of
work for the medical men Of the next two or three
decades.
A sea level canal must be dug across Nicaragua.
The flood problem must be met and solved. not only
along the Mississippi, where most Of the work must
be done Immediately. but along a score Of large streams
in North and South America.
A complete permanent highway system, suited to
very heavy traffic. must be constructed for the United
States and Canada. None of the existing highways will
be wide enough or strong enough TO bear the traffic
that will be ready to roll across the continent as soon
as there are roads to bear it UP.
Matter remains a mystery. There has been much
talk about atoms, electrons and ions during the last
few years. 1t remains for the workers in laboratories
in the years just ahead to tell US what matter really
is, how it is composed, and how the energy that holds
the smallest particles Of matter together may be set
free TO work for the human race.
The earth has been fairly well explored on its sur
face, although Africa, South America and Siberia still
remain comparatively unpopulated. But beneath the
earth's surface and above its crust Of atmosphere there
are countless wilds and worlds as yet unknown to the
wisest of our people.

Valley School Progress

During the past year the Lower Rio Grande Valley
has spent approximately 100000 for new school
buildings. and many Of these structures were ~complet-
ed in time for the opening Of school this year. In a
few Of the citis and rural communities where new
buildings were not in readiness, the schools are badly
crowded. but this condition will soon be remedied.
Educational leaders throughout the Valley report
that the effects OF the additional facilities are already
noticeable in the progress Of school work. The schools
Of the Valley have in the past seven or eight years
ranked among the best in the South, and though the
rapidly increasing population has necessitated extens-
i've construction programs in practically all districts,
the conditions have been met. and there has been .
steady Improvement in the facilities provided in both
nrban and rural districts.
Progress in the rural schools is probably more pro-
nounced than in the urban centers, educators report.
The consolidation Of rural schools has resulted in the
construction Of buildings and the purchase Of equip
ment which place them on par with the best the urban
districts hsve to offer. Many Of these centralized
schools have already gained full utilization with the
state university. and others which have established
high schools in the past two or three years expect TO
attain full credits this year.
Edinburg. Mission. McAllen. Phsrr-San Juan. wes-
laco, Mercedes. La Feria, Harrington, San Benito, and
Brownsville have each opened new buildings within the
past is months. and additional structures are under
way in several Of these cities. Wilson Tract, Los Fres-
nos. olmito, Hidalgc. Point Isabel, Briggs-Coleman,
Santa Rosa. Rio HOndo ere among the consolidated
schools which have increased their facilities or will
soon have buildings opened. The total investment in
new schools in the Valley in the past IS months is in
excess Of 100000, affecting approximately 20 per
cent Of all school children.
The wonderful systems Of public schools is one Of
the Valleys greatest assets. II is apparently the pre-
vAiling opinion in the North that the school systems
% the border country are typical OF the old frontier
ot \ half century ago. Northern people come to the
Valley with the expectation Of finding . few huts
serving for school buildings. and are often astoun6ed
10 find structures rivaling the best that can be found
in the North and with the schools in charge of facul-
ties that equal or surpsss the best in the Northern
cities.
Despite the fact that the Valley has invested hesvi-
~ in new schools in recent months. il is very obvious
that the rapid development Of the entire section will
necessitate further expenditures in the near future.
Both Brownsville and Harrington have recently voted
hoad issues to take care Of the rapidly increasing mum
Der Of sehoiasties. and the enrolment this year indi-
cates that similar action viii be necessary in various
other cities and rural districts before the opening Of

Washington Letter
By CHARLES z.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-President
William Green Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, reelected a few
DAYS ago, IA about as different from
the late Samuel Gompers. his prede-
cessor. as it's possible TO imagine.
And yet he seems to have been ere
ated for Gompers' old job just as
especially as GOmpers created IL TO
suit himself in the first place.
IL was a job which Gompers was q
good fit for, Of course, being the de-
signer Of it. How the master minds
Of the American Federation were able
TO tell, in advance, that Green could
mold himself into it so accurately is
something Of a mystery.
There was no accident about it.
Gompers died IN office. IL was the
duty Of the f~ederation's little execu-
tive group in Washington to choose
a successor for the balance of his
term.
II behooved them to choose wisely,
for IL is not a post in which much
changing Is desirable.
The responsibility was heavy on
the men charged with the selection
and they made 1t prayerfully-liter-
ally.
That Gonpe-s was not approx
mately duplicated isn't surprising.
for another man Of his type would
have been hard To find. but Green II
OF almost an opposite type.
For all that, he fills the bill, ap.
parently TO perfection.
Gompers was the ideal Of his work,
at the time he was doing Il, and
nov that the tack has changed quite
radically, Green's another ideal, under
the new conditions.
The men who picked him. picked
him too deliberately not to be given
credit for deciding on rim es a feat
Of straight brain-work and good
judgment, and 1t really was q re-
markable MISUNDERSTANDING IL as
exactly as they did. in spite Of the
radical departure they were making
from theft original model.
Gompers was q genius and Green
is the embodiment Of sound common
sense.
Gompers was fiery and impatient.
Green is cool, unhurried-but eff
cient-and substantial.
Gompers was the man to build the
American Federation up, and he did
build il up, and Green II looks sig
Nifty anything, IL the man to hold Il
together.
Gompers was 9 great ~nan-which
is by no means to imply that Green
isn't.
Only Gompers knew he was. He

Do you realize the vast extent OF trade ~Yestric-
tions since the late war? Up TO the year 1925, 50 ma
tons had adopted laws or regulations increasing tariffs.
to which were added prohibitions on expectation and
restrictions upon transit. The reasons given were the
upbuilding Of domestic industries. increased revenue,
and restriction upon luxury. This situation. is very
much accentuated by the new boundaries and the new
nations created by the treaty of Versailles and other
treaties, thus q long-established trade which had fol-
lowed certain lines for many. many years was serious
ly dislocsted.
The statesman. Metternich. made a statement,
about the year 1s4s. which is illustrative Of the situs-
ton. He said that If political considerations had not
created Austro-Hungary, economic conditions would
have made ii necessary. That is illustrated in the
whole Of Europe. In one place there Is the raw ma
terial, IN another place the manufactured goods; here
a forest, there the mines-all experimenting each
other and demanding free intercourse.
Should protective tariffs be revised? I do not
wish 70 say II Extensively, but If Europe criticises our
tariff. II Europe asks for a lower rate Of duties in the
United States, let Europe set the example by lowering
her tariffs. which have been 50 greatly increased since
the late war. Whether We might follow that example
or not ! cannot say. but II would be the most potent
argument for lower rates Of duties in the United States.
Trade leads TO better relations and to peace. Let
US hope that there viii be no masquerade barriers
across which there will be military incursions, Is there
have been over the Rhine and elsewhere, for twenty
centuries; that trade may move freely across ard along
that great river; and that the restrictions which have
been created may be gradually diminished.
