Mrs. Snyder will die a full-kledged

Mrs. Snyder, who was raised q
Lutheran, but recorded herself as
Catholic when she entered prison,
had not until now taken any sac
raments of the Catholic Church.
She now has had three admins
tered to her. Prison attaches say
she made confession in her cell.
Before handing reporters copies
of the decision, Governor Smith
read the document slowly. He
paused and laid particular en-
phasis on the words up to this
writing giving an impression that
he still hoped something might be
brought forward to induce him to
change his mind.

denial OF the clemehcy applications
Governor Smith had in front of
him on his desk a letter from

others approving the execution,

That Congressman John n. Garner will lack neither
moral nor financial support in Cameron county in his
campaign for reelection was indicated at the mass
meeting Wednesday night. when democratic leaders,
both men and women. from all parts 81 theh county
assembled to organize the Cameron county Garner
forcongress club.
One of the most remarkable features Of the meet
ing was the fact that practically every interest, faction
and denomination in Cameron county was represented,
and there was no question Of the enthusiasm and sim
cerity Of every person present. Congressman Garner
seems to be what might he termed a common inter
est a man whose worth Il almost universally recog-
nized. The meeting proved that the recognized lead
ers Of democratic thought in Cameron county are 2
unit in supporting the Texas veteran, and that in the
candidacy Of Garner all political differences and fac
tionalism have been submerged.
The representation at that meeting was in itself
a wonderful tribute to Cameron countys regard FOR
Congressman Garner; No greater honor can be paid a
political leader than when political foes and rival can
didates find in his candidacy a common interest IN
which they can submerge their differences and join
whoeheartedly in fighting for the common cause
What factionalism may exist in the democratic ranks
Of Cameron county has been completely wiped out 80
far as Congressman Garner is concerned. This is also
true in Hidalgo county, where party disputes ard AMI
mosities have been laid aside and practically all leaf
ers have enelisted in rolling up a Garner majority
chat will indicate to those Washington and Austin
lobbyists who desire the defeat AZ Garner. that the
quarter Of a century OF service the congressman has
rendered this district is worthy o. the greatest reward
the voters can bestow upon him.
Cameron county has inaugurated organization upon
a basis worthy OF emulation IN other counties NJ the
district. Every precinct within the county viii have
It's chairmen. both 4 man and \ woman. who Will be
responsible for their individual precincts. County
wide activities will be directed hy the organization
committee and the womens central committee with
two members from each commissioner precinct. Cant
paign funds are being raised nv popular subscription.
Never IN the political history # Cameron county
has the democratic party presented q more solid front
for a candidate than is now presented in behalf o.
Congressman Garner. County and precinct leaders
are in the fight to poll the heaviest vote ever recorded
IN the county. and predict that when the results Of
the July primaries are tabulated the county will an
nounce TO the world that aspirants for Gamers place
in the favor OF Cameron county will bc wasting their
energies.

The latest evidence at hand Of the progress Pres
dent Gales is making in restoring law and order
throughout Mexico il contained in a dispatch FROM
Mexico City, stating that three insurgent leaders vita
several hundred followers have telegrsphed 70 Presi-
dent Gales Offering TO surrender IL their lives are

These leaders have been operating in Zacatecss
enc Of the Mexican states where there has ben a graf
deal of turbulence and banditry In the past. The three
insurgents. who were promised immunity from the
firing squad II they would submit to q civil trial, did
not wait to be defeated by federal troops. Evidently
believing discretion u re the better part ~ valor. they
chose to surrender before capture brought them before
the firing squad.
The action OF the three insurgent leaders, even
though they may be obscure and with a small follow
ing. indicates that the power Of the federal government
at Mexico City is steadily growing stronger and is in
spring greater fear among at least some Of the trouble
makers who have for years created disorder in Mexi-
can states.
The crushing n the aquis Of Sonora is one Of the
outstanding achievements Of the Gales government.
which has persistently followed the trail Of bandits an
revolutionaries ever since Gales was elected. The
failure of the Serrano-Gomez revolt greatly strength
ened the position Of the Gales government in Mexico,
- that there is now no formidable revolutionary leader
Of any kind, nor bandit chief. on the Mexican horizon.
When former President Obrcgon is elected to sue
coed President Gales. Obregon will take charge Of a
Mexico which has been largely pacified and brought
under orderly control Of the central government. I'm
less forces are now at work Of which outsiders are not
aware, To start another revolution when Obregon IL

orderly progress and the development of her great nat

SEE No reason for changing the custom.
Albert b. Osborne tells about some Of the inter
estinr customs of the Channel Islands in ? chapter in
his book, AS Il Is In England" published by Mcbride.
A hundred thousand people live on the Channel
Islands. Jersey. Guernsey, Attorney, Sark, Herm and
Jethou. M. Osborne describes the people and their
islands 50 sympathetically that ! long to spend a sum
mer vacation there. Only one family lives on Jethou.
while more than $4,000 live in Jersey.
History has done queer things 70 this group Of
islands. The group belonged 70 Normandy long before
the Normans went over and conquered England. So
when William the Conqueror conquered, the Channel
Islands remained unconquered. They became part of
England only because their ruler had taken over tn
running Of England. So the Channel Islands have al
ways lived quite apart and aloof from the rest n
England.
The courts Of Guernsey and Jersey are not neces-
sarly composed Of lawyers. Grocers and fishermen
and artists may become judges. / think there is some
ancient wisdom in this custom. / think it is n good
idea 70 have about half the judges in any country

ought n have a few thousand doctors. editors. artists
