The Unusual Is News

There il an old axiom in newspaper offices that
"the unusual is always interesting news and il =
probably the application Of this old rule that leads
San Antonio and Houston news editors to over-empha-
size any vagary of Nature in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. The country has become 50 accustomed 70 the
Valley pursuing the even tenor Of its way undisturbed
by storms or floods such as other sections OF the coun-
try experience weekly or monthly, that a moderate
storm or a slight rise of the Rio Grande is regarded By
the news editors of sufficient Importance for front
page position.
A few weeks ago the annual spring rise Of the Rio
Grande was on, and the upstate newspapers took due
notice Of the event and watched in vain for the "turgid
flood to spill over some levee. Last week a hail
storm struck q small section in Hidaigo county and a
few telephone poles were blown. down in a windstorm.
all Of which were duly chronicled on the front pages
of the San Antonio papers, and the watching world
was %apprised of the fact that the wonted calm Of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley had been disturbed, not Sc
riously. but disturbed nevertheless.
Il is rather amusing to those Valley residents from
the tornado-torn sections of North Texas. Oklahoma.
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois to note the
wide publicity given the Valley whenever Nature fails
to smile in the most kindly mood. A tornado in Kan
sas Is generally r~eiegated 10 some inside page to gar
nish a medicine advertisement, but when the Valley
zephyrs decide to pull off, a few innocent stunts. the
wires are taxed to capacity to carry the news to all
those publications which deem il something unusual"
that should be played up with glaring headlines for the
edification Of n duly astonished public. As a rule these
stories are replete with gross exaggeratiOns, and il
Is to these the Valley objects.
During the 1922 flood a San Antonio paper carried
q line head announcing that "A wall Of water is de-
scending upon the Valley" and while no material harm
was done by the publicity given this exaggeration, II
caused grave apprehension among those who hal
friends and relatives in the Valley. This i true Of
much OF that class Of publicity going out Of this Sec
ton. Those residing in the Valley know it is merely
exaereration. but those outside tine Valley often ac-
cept the fantastic details as facts.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is less menaced BY
storms than any other part Of the South. Windstorms
are extremely rare, as are also hailstorms, only three
Of the latter having occurred within the memory or
the Valleys oldest inhabitants. The Rio Grande is
well curbed BY the Hidalgo and Cameron county flood
control works. and the menace Of floods. which in for
mer years caused the San Antonio and Houston pub
LEGATIONS great worry, has been practically eliminated.
However, the Valley public should bear in mind that
storm or flood news from the Valley is so unusual"
that news editors who are aware Of this fact might De
pardoned for giving such news unusual prominence.

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
BY Charles p. Driseoll


A boy fishing for coins on Broadway always inter
ests me. The other day / stopped and watched one of
these fishermen Of the sidewalks at his work.
This was near Thrty-eighth street. a sidewalk
grating gave a dismal view Of the bottom Of a subway
space, thirty feet below. This space was unoccupied,
and il would take a detective to find out why 1t vas
there or what il was ever used for. But coins do drop
on the walk once in a while and roll through the graf
ing. Then they are lost -fcrever-except to the fisher
boys.
This chap was probably II years old. and fat ana
dirty. He had many yards Of blue string wound On a
big spool. To one end OF the string was tied a bit Of
lead, and on the lead was stuck a huge chunk Of chew
ing gum, well chewed.
The fisher had located a half dollar at the bottom
Of the shaft. He selected a hole in the grating that
seemed to be directly above the coin. pulled out a box
Of matches, lighted three under the wad of gum 70
soften the sticky material, and then rapidly unreeled
his line.
1t took much manipulation Of the string to make II
sway so that it passed close to the coin. A score Of
times the fisherman let his plummet drop. only to miss
the coin and pick up gravel. Then he would have to
pull up the lead, pick the gravel out Of the gum, and
light more matches.
A small crowd had gathered. but the boy paid no
attention to it. when the winning lunge was made,
the gum landed right in the middle Of the half dol
lar. The boy waited a minute for the contact to be
MADE sure; then slowly reeled in his line. AS he picked
the precious coin off the bait, the crowd grinned and
passed on. The fisherman OF the sidewalks pocketed
his winnings and walked slowly along the grating.
looking for another prize. ] am told n skillful fisher
for coins sometimes makes three dollars a day. Not
many of the coins are half dollars, Of course.
There is a journalistic story on the street which
makes me feel fine. 1t is that William Allen White
and Henry j. Allen. both Kansas editors, have. within
the last few weeks. separately and severally refused a
flattering offer TO come 70 New York ard take over
the editorial management Of one Of the biggest news
papers IN town Neither Mr.. White nor Mr.. Allen
could find IL in his heart to leave his own field for
the reward and glamor OF the big metropolitan job.
The salary offered these two country editors" 10
take on the editing Of a newspaper which is very close
TO the largest circulation in the United States. was
far beyond what either Of them is making now. But
IL is interesting to remember that there are bigger
things than income, out west. Both White and Allen
love their Kansas. their friends and their fights too
we'll to be tempted eastward Ivy any sort Of money.
! don't know why il il. but this kind Of thing gives
me a comfortable glow. I was a Kansas editor myself
once, and cam to New York and stayed, and do not
regret it. But when these other fellows gave away the
substantial temptations of the big city, I can't help
approving Of them.

For the first time in half a century the financial
interests Of the country are displaying no more than
a passing interest in the presidential campaign. which
is regarded By financial writers IS indicating that Wall
Street will not be greatly agitated should either Smith
or Hoover be nominated and elected
Ten or fifteen years ago an ~apathetic attitude on
the part Of Wall Street would have been viewed with
no small degree Of suspicion throughout the West and
Middle West. In those days Wall Street was the pet
enemy" Of the political demagogue VINO anxiousiy
watched for an indication as to where big business
would line up before aligning himself on the other
side.
The announcement Of the financial and political
writers that big business" regards Smith and Hoover
with equal favor is not considered as especially de-
tracing from the fitness Of either TO assume the
duties Of chief executive Of the nation. In fact. the
assurance that Wall Street has no preference, other
than purely partisan, has resulted in a feeling Of Sc
curity which indicates that the business as usual
slogan will be more effective during the coming cam
paign than ever before in the history Of the country.
Democrats and republicans have reached the very
logical conclusion that no changes Of a radical nature
should be made. Tariff revision will be the main
iss1e before the next congress. but republicans and
democrats are apparently united in the opinion that
while the industrial schedules should be lowered and
the agricultural schedules increased, the change should
not be Of such a radical nature that il will effect
business TO any appreciable extent. So far as admin
istrative policies are concerned. the conservative eIe-
ment will be in control regardless Of which party sue
ceeds in eiecting its candidate, and no dangerous
changes in the national program are anticipated.
Big business" is the friend Of progress but an i'm
placable foe to radical changes. Steady. consistent de-
v%elopment Of the nations resources il the real founda-
tion Of national prosperity, and capital is fully cog
infant Of the fact that any departure from q national
program that does not take this fact into consideration
will react TO the disadvantage Of the entire country.
Organized capital is not interested in partisan politics.
but IL is interested in conservative, safe administration
of national affairs. and-its present apathy may be takes
as an ASSURANCE that capital is well satisfied with the
proposed standard bearers Of both major parties.
