ANOTHER attempted coup OF the
Ia Mexican federal government has
a been suppressed-on paper. An
ether uprising has been suppressed,
although officials at Mexico City
knew nothing about II. They knew
nothing about IL. because II was
purely imaginative
For some unknown reason Mata-
nnoros for the past few days has pSen
seethinr with excitement and wild
stories oI this or that about TO hap
Zen. Little attention has been PAID
10 ii. until Yesterday afternoon the
engineer OF this column was dragged
back to his office or seeming semi
official reports that Rublo would
resign last night.
After two hours Of waiting on
wires from Mexico City the word
came back that ali Is peaceful as
ear be, and resigning IS about the
last thing Rubio has IN mind az
present -,
one way to find trouble Is TO look
for II. and there seems to be an
element across the river. which by
word OF mouth would stir up some
thing. Mexico needs, and is seeking,
development. not revolutions.
ALONE Of these wild rurnors IS being
III accepted b. friends Of Mexico
Nv on this side OF the river for
ANYTHING except beer talk. or some
INSTRUMENTATION faction express
ing a wish.
The way to start matters seething
& this side Of the river IS for some
writer or speaker TO express an opin-
ion on some subject. which is a bit
adverse TO the "whoopla, boopa doop,
we are the biggest. best and OUT
rrowingest community IN the world"
as some would have written or heard
constantly. Such a writer is liable
TO receive letters threatening TO ride
him out Of the Valley on a rail.
Every one in the Valley should DC
for its welfare all the time. n
lend every energy to Us building-
for his own profit. II for no other
reason. But If some one should ex-
press one view contrary TO the sup
rosed orthodox procedure. he should
be granted the right 10 express IL
and have II passed as merely his
opinion without threats Of annihi-
lation.
FTHE engineer Of this column is
constantly running into the fear
Of the printed truth. which
shows the least bit Of not being the
most favorable Il the Valley. react
ing as somewhat of a calamity.
For instance we are often receiv-
inc letters that the river rises should
rot be published. One the other day
said newsboys in San Antonio were
shouting ID. Have the people IN san
Antonio not enough intelligence 10
know that 3 river rise IS not going
TO wash the Valley away, and
enough elimption 70 know that the
fact that the river IS threatened
with what the weather bureau calls
a flood stage Is printed as q warn
ing TO persons living along It's banks?
This IS not written as q single
handed attempt 20 change things.
but e say that We do not have 70
live in eternal fear OF something
derogatory. The engineer Of this
column holds no fears for the VAL
lev. He thinks II has more to offer
and less drawbacks than any other
known section.
MINATED Annie says only those
~ with paper fronts fear a little
shower Of rain.
WITH cooler weather predicted
wv yesterday for the Valley some
~ little ~petularce was heard
early today because the drop
In temperature had not materially
ed. But shortly before noon cooler
air was felt. and with q general cold
wave swOoping down perfect win
ter Valley weather should be here
within q few hours. About noon II
vas much cooler at Sarite.
ATOW comes q good letter. and We
are not talking OF a compliment
- tsry one received from Judge
) l. Gill. hereby acknowledged. with
thanks.
From far away New Zealand
romes a letter saying that a Browns
vile radio program came in and was
heard as distinctly as those offered
Id the home territory. II said the
organ numbers we're especially ap-
preciated. Looking on the map IL
appears that the program was pick
"a I'D one third OF the way around
The world-that Is unless IL went
around the far way, which would
make il two thirds.
AFTER pleading and writing and
u talking about numbering our
- houses. Il appears that we have
finally found q z s where silence
Toes not give consent
What we would Ike 70 know from
Hr. Rosenthal and company is are
vi or are you not. We praised you
or your signs. but we have not COM
,leted the Job until those house
numbers are Up.
rRUTT inspectors are also taking
q little trouble unto themselves.
= They say that talking Of fruit
,oing out OF the Valley is g reflec-
ion on them. That all citrus in
pected is UP 70 state standard, al
hough they cannot tel about the
aste. That IS exactly the case. Mr..
Inspector. The fruit will pass the
tate test and still taste like quinine
ompared 10 what II would be a lit
ie later, II left Oh the trees. !
