WHILE the pendulum, swinging to

- returned to Washington. had not
settled whether the democrats or
republicans would have a majority,
John Garner down at Uvalde de-
clared the demos stand ready to
help Hoover bring the country back
to a more prosperous condition.
There will be none OF this bust
ness OF trying TO turn the govern
ment topsy-turvy. The tariff Is not
to be flown into like q hen picking
on some one else's chickens. But
the power companies, which have a
hold on the nations vitals, will be
taken to task" the Texas veteran
declared.
Garner is a scrappy representa-
tive and if he has something up his
sleeve for the power companies and
opens fire. he will probably make
them sit up and take notice. The
Texan has long been known among
the newspaper men as the most pow
erful ma on capitol hill. Garner
has often spoken out to them when
others seemed afraid TO speak. II
now looks as if President Hoover
will have a few lively sessions In
congress as his administration closes.
THE Matamoros Rotary club join
ed by representatives from
Brownsville rendered a banquet
to Governor Francisco CaStellanoS
last night in Matamoros.
An urgent invitation was extend
ed Castellanos to cross the river to-
day into Brownsville. In fact r. B.
Creager told in the invitation that
he Is expected. The governor an
swered that he hoped he would but
that he had so many engagements
on the other side he was not sure.
It is said the visiting governor has
been strictly business since his ar
rival. Yesterday he sat long with
representatives of the MatamoroS
Chamber Of Commerce, and answer
Ell questions directly and definitely.
Many of his answers portend civic
development for the border city
Taxation changes constitute one
consideration now before Governor
Castellanos.
OVERHEARD a little bit OF an OBJ
Servation from a citizen Of Mat
moro last night, which not
only may be something TO consider
a bit. but shows that we Americans
are being watched by the Mexicans
and understood.
1t went something like this:
AN American practices in one
generation with his money what in
Mexico Is practiced In three. 1t takes
ore generation in Mexico TO amass
q fortune, the second generation to
work 70 save 1t, and the third TO
spend it.
I'm America they do it all in one
life. A man makes his fortune when
he Is young. nurses it TO maturity
during middle life. and spends 1t
when he is old" How about II?
Al PRINCE up at Mercedes is
" either of the wonder editors
Of the country. or IS the biggest
yarner in ten states. He said he
wished he had a job OF writing a
column every day, after taking a
hand at il in the Valley Morning
Star. AL did very well that far. But
then he added 1T is so easy" Now,
AL. writing one OF these things every
day ome around more regular than
milking time did when you were a
boy and II gets SO hard.
And even If 1t were easy We who
must do 1t. must never pretend it is
easy. We get paid for il you know.
and how these hard times do effect
people who make exactly the same
salary they always did, AL. you must
rot injure the price Of yours and
other editors commodity thataway.

she would run around the block
screaming.
