Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-09-07
my DearT

WI Ran off from the work shop
w for a day, and came back home
10 be told by reader friends that a
substitute editor on the Valley
Morning Star had attempted TO take
some smart crack at US while we
were gone about the word 'whoops"
coming out misSpelled and some
other rot.
That Is about the calibre TO be ex-
pectef from a substitute editor. Were
the 1&al editor here we might have
something TO say about how things
IN general are going with the Star
Even in campaigns where the people
vote on issues.
But even If we were q substitute
editor we do not believe We would
crawl out on an evident misspelled
word and then use the word differ
ent" where differently" should
have been used.
We can understand how these
errors are mechanical. But We can
not understand why that same edi-
tor would publish q story telling
how a doomed man was looking for
ward to his death twelve hours
hence after the man had already
been executed the day before, as the
Harlingen Valley Morning Star did
with reference to Carl Panvran on
page two Saturday.
The chief asset OF that paper
seems to be to get on" somebody,
and consequently II Is hard for II
20 feal when It is no. being noticed
WHOEVER the editor OF that
wv paper happens TO be, he seems
" TO think that TO write some
thing derogatory toward The
Brownsville Herald to be one way
OF getting along in the world. We
thank them for the compliment OF
picking out the biggest.
The engineer of this column wish
Is TO thank the people Of the VAL
lev for the largest circulation 1t has
ever enjoyed at a like period OF the
year. 1t Is enjoying good business
II hopes other papers In the valley
are in like condition. One Of the
chief purposes Of The Herald Is 70
build the Valley. Its policy IS "for"
things and not "agin' things.
yYyAR IN Argentine. New regime
w in Peru. Life Of Mussolini
" threatened. China war racked.
Santo Domingo devastated by floods.
Drought throughout the United
Statesl !.
peace in Mexico, peace now, and
prosperity seen for the Valley!
III thdre be any of us prone 70 feel
dissatfS Nd, they might continue this
rompar1son and find out how well
off they really are.
Oft times we are too prone 70
think on the few things that tend
to worry us rather than the many
things we have TO make us happy.
TVAD q quick trip to Austin and
points north and when night
N came on started down the main
street. and thought We were being
followed. Stopped and cautiously
looked around. Found we were
about the only person IN the block
of that downtown business street,
and II was the noise OF our own
heels that was pursuing us. Business
II better here than there.
IT Is the old, old idea that things
are pretty much as you look at
them.
gorter like the Judge. who former
" had been a minister. and delivered
It's first charge to the jury. A case
of disturbing public worship had
been closed.
Each time giving the legal intro
rrctior. the Judge said Now gen.
tlemen of the jury If you find that a
sect called the BaptistS - TO wit,
Gods chosen people - were gathT-
ed for worship and were disturbed by
this defendant, you will find the
defendant guilty. and assess the full
penaltv of the law. If on the other
hand YOU find that a class or sect
10 believers known as Methodists -
peopIe not so bad - had gathered
Tor worship and were disturbed, you
viii find the defendant guilty. but he
probably should not be assessed the
full penalty OF the law. IL, thirdly,
vou find that q sect known IS
Campbellites, who call themselves
Christians had gathered for the pur-
pose OF worship and were disturbed
bv this defendant. I do not think
you need bother about that"
rPEAKING Of viewpoint, Animated
- annie says there is nothing
~ r45ch changes first appearance
10 quickly and so thoroughly for
the better as an ugly girl with a
sweet character.
OTIS o. people up state are so
much worse off than we are
- that they are beginning 70 hear
that we are living in sort of a prom
ked land. They question you about
u.
Digging around old haunts, many
asked us what Is the Valley? -
felI Us something about 1t. We have
heard Of It for many years Of course,
hut never before were interested
enough 10 inquire for particulars"
Now. folks, that is the attitude OF
mind found growing over the coun-
try. which In the near future VIII
send thousands down here.
I'VE might as well get ready for
wv them. They are coming. Con-
w corning the influx OF school stu
dents q. W. Gotke, says he does
not know where they came from
but they are here: and that Is the
xr-%nf IL will soon be in the business
