VALLEY

EMILIO PORTES GIL, the lawyer,
is president Of the Republic Of Mex
leo.
As a lawyer, po-tes Gil believes
in conducting his government under
the processes Of law.
Which has moved him to abolish
summary executions.
If he can prevent il, there will be
, no mJre drum head court martials.
Rebels will not be summarily
executed when captured.
They will be tried first by court
martial.
IL found guilty they will be meted
out such punishment as the military
courts may decide upon.
Such instructions have been given
TO the war department.
That department has, in turn, sent
them along ID the military COM
manders over the country.
That is one Of the things that has
been done by a president who has
been a civilian, not a soldier.
PERHAPS YOU, dear reader, will
find a bit Of humor in this:
A youth in Chicago, being properly
dumfounded over the defeat meted
out to DePaul Of Chicago by the
Eagles of Brownsville, wants to know
in detail how il happened.
So he has written for a copy of a
Brownsville newspaper cJntaining
the story Of the game.
He addressed his letter to "The
Brownsville Bugle."
He will get copy of The Browns
Vile Herald instead.
Perhaps, when he reads the story,
he will understand how n "hick'
team down here in southern Texas
defeated one Of Chicago's finest.
