Main Streets are not only charming places,
American satirists to the contrary, but they are
breeding spots Of genius. Our small towns, aided
by the little red schoolhouses have turned out many
men who are sharing the destinies of America today
Colonel Lindberg, our aviator extraordinary and
Ambassador Of Good Will, first saw the light Of day

these United States is another of many examples of
Main Streeters that might be given and there are,

And SO Main Street has much of which to boast.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE PRESS

President Coolidge in recent address at The
dedication of the National Press Clubs new magn-
ficent Washington home gave it as his opinion that
the American press has become invaluable to bust
ness but has lost much of its power in oding public
opinion.
The press "'anpears to have lost much of its pow
er as director Of public thought" declared the Pre-
ident and since he made the declaration newspapers
throughout the country have been debating the
question.
We Go not share the alarm evidently felt by the
1.ations leader We think the small town press, at
least, has awavs been is, and always will be moral

when Dana and Greey and Others with their social

nance which ALWAYS hovers about the past and
makes it seem somehow more glorious, more coorfu

When the hands of the dial have turned often

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-11-11

With renewed activity following the national cleo
ton. it now appears certain that business as a whole
in the United States for 1928 will establish many
records. All lines Of commercial endeavor have not
been equally prosperous, but many Irregularities have
been ironed out since midsummer and corporate
profits are expected to exceed any year since the
World war.
The key groups in ndustry-building construction,
steel production and automobile output-now promise
70 establish new records for the twelve months. There
are al present, according to the most experienced
business observers. few signs of any but a normal and
seasonal letdown in the industrial situation as a
whole.
Agriculture is sharing. for the first time in sew
eral years, in the general prosperity. With the ex-
ception Of cotton and corn, the harvest is we'll COM
pleted. according TO the November 1 report OF the
department Of agriculture. Prices on practically all
staples are holding firm and banks in the rural sec
tions report condition far above normal.
The general improvement in practically all indus
trial lines, decrease in unemployment and better fl
nancial tone throughout the entire country indicates
that the Lower Rio Grande Valley will this winter
participate to a greater extent than ever before IN
the national prosperity. BETTER markets for winter
vegetables. the Valleys chief stock in trade. are fore
east in practically all distributing centers. and dis
tributors are decidedly optimistic.
One Of the contributing causes Of the poor market
the Valley growers encountered last season was the
extensive unemployment, especially III the eastern
mining and steel centers, which normally arc heavy
consumers Of Valley products. Throughout the in
dustriai regions Of the central states the general de-
preston was reflected in the decreased consumption
and the consequent smaller orders for Valley prod
ucts, Score OF markets which under normal condi-
tions would consume hundreds Of cars Of Valley vege-
tables actually consumed less than ~ per cent o.
their normal receipts.
The profits Of the grower Of p~erishsble crops are
very susceptible to the influence Of strikes, uner-
ployment or business depression in any form which
derives any rseat number Of consumers OF their reg
Mar wages. when wages are curtailed the wage
Garner Immediately turns to the most economical sta
s,es. and in order to dispose of perishables under
such conditions they must be priced at a figure that
eliminates all profits for the grower. On the other
hand, when the great multitude Of wage earners are
receiving their wages with regularity, they buy per-
i,hables in large amounts, and do not object to n
rr;ce which assures a fair profit to grower and dis
tributor.
The renewed optimism throughout the entire ecun-
try. supplemented by the increase in foreign orders
and decrease in unemployment, is an excellent augury
80 q prosperous season for the Lower Rio Grande Val
lsv growers. and they will welcome a return Of good
markets and fair profits.

The World and All
JUST A FOREIGNER

An American citizen who lives in Cleveland was
travelling In Italy. In Venice he employed a guide 70
take him to a designated place and back again. But
the guide, instead Of bringing him back to the point
Of departure, landed the American at another place
and tried to induce the stranger to spend some more
money for further sightseeing. The tourist, enraged
by the guides impertinence, walked off, after paying
the amount agreed upon in the first place.
The venitian %gondolier was angry, and followed the
American, demanding more money. The result of the
whole miserable affair was that the guide had the
American arrested on a charge which the tourist does
not yet understand, and the victim was lodged in a
dungeon for several days, without benefit Of counsel
or interpreter.
The Cleveland citizen has appealed TO the American
state department. now that he is home safely, He
wants some sort Of satisfaction out Of the Italian gov.
eminent.
/ think the American Is entitled to satisfaction. He
was subjected to outrageous treatment. for no other
reason than that he vas a foreigner, unable to under
stand Italian language and customs. He was taken adj
vantage Of by an INSCRIPTIONS ~gondolier. who probably
was no better than a common burglar.
II the American state department is As anxious
about the rights Of American citizens abroad as is the
British foreign office about the subjects Of Great
Britain, this Clevelander will eventually have an Off
cial apology and heavy damages for his unwarranted
imprisonment and other mistreatment.
Mussolini is a patriotic Italian nationalist, and ne
is trying to inspire his countrymen with great devotion
to Italy. That is as il should be. But Mussolini and his
subordinates ought to be informed right now that an
American citizen is not to be imposed upon and made
the victim of atrocities in any foreign land, so long as
the American government continues TO be the most
powerful upon earth.
There is this other thought which is suggested by
the horrible injustice inflicted upon the American citi-
zen in Venice. We Americans ought to be as careful
of the rights Of foreigners in our country as we expect
foreigners to he of the rights Of our own citizens
abroad. We ought always to see to it that nobody is
jailed and abused in this country for no better reason
than that he is a foreigner.
I fear that IL our state department becomes very
hard boiled with Mussolini, that gentleman will dig up
several cases Of Italian subjects who have been beaten
up BY American police for no reason at all. In some
American cities il Is customary for the police. when
cnofronted by a murder mystery, 20 make up for their
own stupidity and failure to find a clue. BY rounding
up" foreign born residents who have no influence. and
beating them up. in silly efforts TO make the foreigners
confess"
Americans should insist upon their rights rs citi-
zens Of the greatest nation on earth. when they are
abroad. and respect for the rights Of foreigners in this
country.

day. The fruits Of that great struggle, borne and won
so brsvely by the allied arms, is today. ten years after
the signing Of the arrlistice, evident in all civilized
nations. From that great struggle came forth a new
conception Of democracy and individual and national
liberties. In the midst Of turmoil and worldwide dis
tress was born the worldwide desire for a greater
civilization, a greater liberty, a greater opportunity for
the individual and nation, and the assurance TO all that
might can no longer control the destinies Of men.
November IL will be celebrated wherever freemen
live, as the day which symbolizes the regeneration of
the fact that it marked the end of the world. It also
marked the beginning of a new era in civilization. and
the first ten years of that era have proved that the
sacrifices of lives and treasure to win the war were
not made in vain.
