posed would be a public benefit. and
that they were feasible and practi-

THE sentiment Of the people of
Brownsville and vicinity. with the
single exception of Los Fresnos

faVor OF the proposed navigation

atoms within this area Is estimated
to be more than $50, 900. 0OO. 90. As
an evidence of this, the bank de-

feet deep.
by the time of the meeting OF
the Nalley-wide port committee al
McAllen on August %, there had
developed a we'll defined sentiment
in the Harrington locality generally,
and in the western part Of the north
end Of Cameron county, and in the
eastern part OF Hidalgo county. that
the Arroyo Colorado navigation dis
trict should be used as the basis of
whatever port should be developed
for the benefit of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. and the sentiment of
that whole area BY the first Of Sep
TENDER Of this year had crystalized
against giving aid to the Brazos
island project.
Hidalgo Eliminated
In the meantime political con
tests Of various kinds had develop
ed in Hidalgo county. and no part
Of that county could be induced
TO actively support any organization
looking TO raising money for the
purpose Of aiding the Brazos island
harhor project.
"On September IL, 1928, with an
idea Of finally determining what aid
could be expected on the BRACES
Island harbor project, a mass meet
ing was held in Brownsville under
the auspices OF the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce, to which

committee we're invited. This meet

DIR. FRANK CRANE

DIR. FRANK CRANE has gone to that strange
bourne from which traveller returns. Seven
teen years ago his editorial sermons began to ap-
pear in the newspapers, and in short time won
recognition He became famous and earned thru
his writings something like one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars year. The world was quick to
respond He had something that the world wanted.
He had the gift of expressing beautiful sent1-
ments in beautiful way, inspiring and inspirlt-
ing all of u.s.
At the age of fifty he climbed down from an UNI
derpaid pulpit to brave field Courageously
he started out, as if he youth, to dellyer
his sermons in a way--via the printed word.
In editorials in newspapers, he penned praise of
all that is nobest and finest in the nature Of man.
encouraging his readers to live full lives devoted
to the Good and the True and the Beautiful. His
articles are said to have been read by as many as
twenty million people, none of whom could have
helped being influenced for the better by the les
sons of loving kindness, faith and contentment
that he taught.
Dr. Cranes Influence will not die with him, for
he set an example to host of men of religion now
teaching through the medium of the printed word.
Nor will Dr. Cranes editorials die-peope will be
reading them long after most writing of this per-
iod is forgotten.
His great success proves how eager persons real
~ are for moral truth expressed in language that
they can understand. The death of DR.. Crane is a
great loss to the American public on whom he had
such singulary fine, ennobhng influence.

THE EDITOR THINKS ALOUD

THE Dickinson County Herald is operated in
he interests of Clintwood and Dickinson County
.ut Tor the purpose OF making profit for the pub
fishers.
TO be successful in the prosecution of the best,
interests Of Clmtwood and Dickinson County this
newspaper must accomplish the task of making
money. 10 this end it relies upon two sources of
'evenue; subscriptions and advertising The form
er from its readers ana the latter from the bufS
ness interests that find advertising in our col
INNS profitable.
Newspaper publishers generally have found that
be financially successful their newspapers must
meet the popular expectation that newspaper is
servant OF the general public. They must serve
this master, although their revenue comes FROM
individuals who sometimes expect undue and i'm
possible favors.
In operating the Dickinson County Herald we
lave always tried to serve, to the limit of our a.
bility, the real interests of Clintwood and Dicken-
on County. Sometimes, it has been hard to see
clearly just what these were, but as best we could
we have gone forward toward the goal At the
same time, we have set ourselves the task Of CIV
ing to subscribers real newspaper, interesting to
read for It's local news and stimulating to read for
its editorials and other features
BY so dong we have secured a certain reader
interest, which becomes automatically attached
to advertisements in these columns The adver-
tiser buys this reader interest when he purchases
space. 1t is OF value much more potent than the
actual space that is purchased It, too has cost us
money, just as real an expenditure as the physical
printing of advertisements. The advertiser de-
serves the attention of our readers because his
use of our columns, while strict business invest
ment does help pay the cost Of obtaining and hold
ing reader interest, and makes our newspaper the
more readable.
Now, some of our friends in Clintwood and else
where who are reading this editorial probably
wonder why say these things The reason is
plain we want every subscriber and every adver-
tiser to- know about the conflicting interests that
must be reconciled to make The Dickinson County
Herald success, either for the best development
of Clintwood and Dickinson County or the growth
of itself into more profitable business. That is
our task, but we feel that we are entitled to the
comforting assurance that the public understands
our aims and our difficulties.
The Dickinson County Herald does not seek any
support whatever on the basis of charitable I'M
dertaking 1t does not expect anyone to be either
a subscriber or advertiser out of sheer good
will, 1t feels, however, that the public of this
munity, if it perceives the ntrstc value OF cred
liable newspaper, will realize that positive value
attaches to the possession of such a newspaper by
any city or town.
