Dead Bandits

~ NJ. Massie. president OF the Texas Bankers
Association. was greeted with prolonged applause when
he announced al the opening Of the annual convention
81 the association in San Antonio Tuesday that the
reward Of $4,000 per head for dead bank bandits would
be maintained another year.
President Massie assertd the reward is necessary
a pro,ect the banks Of Texas: that the value Of the
policy has been proved. citing that only three SUE
c,ssful robberies have occurred in the state the past
year.
William +. Hawkins Of Breckenridge. who asserts
he is running for governor against Dan Moody. wakes
extremely wroth over the presumption" Of the Texas
h.rters. He informed an audience at Austin Tuesday
,h.. IS soon as he ~ elected governor he will request
,ho legislature 70 make liberal" provisions for ade-
cvs,e state rewards for the arrest and conviction Of
any and all kinds Of bank robbers and would make
1. . felony for an individual or association to offer .
,.ward such as the Texas bankers have posted.
There are two contingencies to be considered in
connection with Mr.. Hawkins proposal: First, the
Yemote possibility that he will be elected governor;
and second. the difficulty he would encounter, in the
event he should be elected. in inducing the legislature
- make the appropriation for those liberal rewards"
Incidentally, the spectacle Of the Texas legislature pass
inc a law making il n felony for the Texas bankers to
20 vote a reward to protect their institutions against
bandits would he. to say the least. amusing.
The theory Of the Texas Bankers Association that
dead bank bandits are good bandits could very profit
ahIv be applied TO other classes Of bandits. II the
Texas bankers desire to declare a twelve-month open
season" on bank bandits. the only protest will come
from the bandits themselves and a few politicians VINO
are seeking a little notoriety.

DANIELS OPPOSES THIRD PARTY

There is none Of the Coolidge ambiguity in the
reply Of Josephus Daniels made TO a telegram from
Wilbur Lcgette. California manager for Senator Reed,
asking Mr.. Daniels if he would accept the vice presi-
Dental nomination on a third party ticket.
Mr.. Daniels positively and unequivocally said,
mo" And he gave excellent reasons for declining.
He does not believe a third party would stand any
chance to elect its candidates. Mr.. Daniels Is also
convinced that the main issue Of the 1928 presidential
campaign is republican corruption. and that the dem
ocratic party ,ffers "the only hope" for Wrestling the
government from the republicans.
/. This is sound doctrine. informed doctrine, and Mr..
Daniels does his country and his party a good serevicc
by resffirming it in a manner that should discourage
further talk among democrats OF a third party move
ment. IL AL Smith is nominated at Houston. What
republicans do is Of no concern to the democrats, ex-
cept as IL may lessen or increase the democratic
chances for victory. II Senator Borah should decide
to head a third party ticket the democrats would owe
him a debt Of thanks. for that decision would make
democratic victory in November certain.
The Legette telegram intimates that either Senator
Reed or Senator Borah might be willing to accept a
third party nomination for the presidency The pos
sibility Of a third party headed by Borah has been
widely discussed. partly because Of the Independent.
views expressed by Mr.. Borah and the attacks he hns
been making lately on his party. But Senator Reed "a
the role Of a boltcr is something new in the body
polite.
Reed and Borah have both had much to say about
republican corruption, but Reed, who is a pronounced
and lifelong wet, does not believe prohibition is an
issuse. or a major issue, in the current presidential
campaign. Mr.. Borah thinks otherwise. He has be-
deviled republican presidential candidates with his
prohibition QUESTIONABLE and insists the republican
party adopt a militant stand with respect to prohibition
enforcement.
Mr.. Daniels is bone dry. He made the United
States navy dry when he was secretary of the navy in
the Wilson cabinet. Nevertheless. Mr.. Daniels IL a
democrat first. He wants the democratic party to win
for its own sake and the country's sake, in order that
the forces Of privilege and corruption may be ousted
from Washington. And he sees that the only way "a
accomplish this purpose is for a united democratic
party to make an aggressive fight at the polls on the
issue Of republican corruption in office.

A Valley Navigation District

A meeting Of the Valley port committee VIII he heiu
st Harlingen Friday night to discuss the recent rec
concentrations Of the board Of L. s. army engineers
who propose a liberal appropriation for the eonstruc-
ton and maintenance of the Valley harbor at Poirt
Isabel. In connection with the report Of the engineers
the Valley committee will discuss the requirements
the appropriation will impose upon the Valley inter
ests-principaily, the contribution Of 100000 toward
the harbor construction fund and the assurance that
adcqutae terminal facilities will be provided.
The Valleys harbor project is now approaching tn.
phase where organization Of the entire Valley IS es-
sential 10 assure its success. That this organization
should assume the form Of a navigation district ana
that the expenses Of such district should be appor-
toned upon the basis OF benefits to be received IS
generally conceded. Throughout the Valley there has
been almost perfect cohesion IN connection with every
phase of the port project. and it is only logical to as
sumo that with the goal in sight this condition Will
be maintained.
The time has arrived when a navigation district y

federal government. The recommendation OF the army
engineers has definitely committed the government g

definitely commit itself and give the assurance that
every requirement Of the government will be met This
should not be construed as meaning that a navigation
district should vote bonds Immediately for harbor
construction. The organization should be Perfected

and all preparations completed to meet the govern
ment's conditions and supply the necessary tunds "heh
such funds are demanded.
The port committee has served the Valley IN a
manner which demands the communication and graft
tude of the Valley citizenship. but in the not distant
future an official organization will be required to carry
on the work for which the port committee has laid
the foundation. Delay now may mean that the Valley
might be compelled, in order to meet the conditions
Of the government, to organize a navigation district
without giving the matter the consideration It must
have Ia assure Valley-vidc cooperation. Such mat

is ready 10 put its money into the port project. and
will then be in position to aid the government m

The meeting Of the port committee Friday night
promises to be of utmost Importance to the future "a
the Valley, and il the committee decides to take imme-

the support OF practically every Valley interest.

The World and All
MYSTERIES

What profound and beautiful mysteries arc all
about US! ! sit across the table, talking to a friend
while We eat. We talk Of inward things. We speak u
the soul, and Of spirit, and Of God. We admit that We
do not know what VIC are talking about. but we are
curious. We seek to exchange impressions and thoughts
and ideas about the most important things. Why are
We here, and what is our responsibility. and to whom
do We owe the responsibility that we feel for conduct
and living and achievement? Do we matter? A great
city swirls its life about US. and we wonder whether
we are even more inconsequential than we seem.
Always, when ] enter into this kind Of discussion
with a friend, ! feel the inadequary Of language. All
my life ! have studied words. and have placed great
faith in them. But when | want 10 conovev across

mental things Of life. | find that my vocabulary Ia

definitions and theological explanations Of spirit. but !
realize that something else Is needed. VIC must ex-
press something now hcih We have not wholly com
pretended. Well, I do not know what spirit is. That
Is a fair answer. Spirit Is ono Of the mysteries.
And the soul. Some Of my readers, especially
among the collegians, will be inclined to smile at the
word. They will say that soul is just a word. a super
stitious word. But what is the attitude Of inexperience.
Across the table from me is a human body. | have
read all about it in books. and although il is full ~

The souls, Il seems TO me. are held back by IN,
