Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-11-25

experience III reporting me news
from the capital of the Southern
Republic have been dropping into
Brownsville lately, and from their
general conversation on their OBJ
s=rvations, it seems that tranquil
ity rests in the Mexico as never be-
fore.
Comparatively few aspirants for
president, who by their ambitions
would cause trouble are being watch
ed out of the orner Of the eyes of
the powers-that-be and the govern
ment Is going ahead on q construc-
tive program.
The payroll of the army has been
cut in the budget, which in turn IS
cutting the standing army. To off
set that move military training Is
being introduced into the schools.
president Rubio has whole
heartedly pledged himself to ed
ucation and the effect Of his at
titude is already being felt. That
Mexico Is sincere in her road build
ing plan as a progressive move and
not q means TO graft is clearly seen.
General Almazan who has charge
of much of the road work Is a
wealthy man. and good roads Is his
hobby. One new highway into Mex
leo is making a different city OF
Monterrey and when the loop to
krownsville Is completed business Is
roing TO hum for that industrial GEN.
ter II is said. Brownsville and the
Valley will also realize much from
It.
With steam-heated hotels and
thousands Of tourists, 1t is said that
already one can visit in Monterrey
and hear as much English as Span
ish on the streets.
THE one fly il the ointment is the
fluctuating peso. The visiting
newspaper men say 1t almost
takes a private secretary TO keep
trend of the market and obtain the
proper change when dollars are con-
ve-ted into pesos. Because OF the
solid foundation OF the government
II is thought the peso Will soon be-
come stable.
Reuben Clark, It seems, Is going TO
prove almost as popular an ambas-
sador as Dwight Morrow. Mr. Nor
row accomplished the feat OF bring
ing about a better understanding be-
tween Mexico and the United States
than has existed in the past twenty
years.
This, IL is said. was done by his
meeting such men as Gales on a
man to man basis for a sensible talk
over matters and each deciding on
the proper steps before taking the
matter into formal consideration.
Same old adage again proved
about people understanding each
other getting along fine.
TO-DAY is football day in Browns
vile. Athletic appetites are keen
today for the meeting between
the Scorpions and st. Mary's.
- 4 great contest is promised this
fternoon. Then after that foot
ban feast many will journey up 70
Austin for the big Turkey Day rae
ket between the Longhorns and the
Aggies.
MINATED Annie says she thinks
tllS& z 4d4C vi AAOL 0ClA4k IL
lowed to runswith a tumble Is
terrible since almost every time this
year the home team has recovered
the tumble.
THIS business of pledging ten dol
lars worth OF work TO beautify
the city and at the same time
afford employment is working out
fine. The pledges are flowing in
and many will gain work for a few
days at least.
So often many things on paper
seem such a sensible solution to
something. and then when it comes
to practical application go out like
Lottie'S eye.
WITH our county judges travel
W ling around over the country on
81 other important businesses. II
seems that our hard cast votes are
about to be ruled out Of the state
county.
This, needless TO say. should never
be. II was too hard for exhorters
TO get out those few thousand votes
not to get them counted.
JUDGE Oscar Dancy from Chicago
sends the engineer Of this col
- umn an editorial from a Chicago
paper. Seems what Dan Moody said
about cleaning out the Chicago
rsnesters made the Chicago editors
madden than a wet hen.
This particular comes back
IN scathing terms about Dan and
the Sherman mob. winds around by
wav of Jim Ferguson and Ma, and
euds with the opinion that Texas
eo1,LG look good on the map Of
exico.
, ner in Chicago both Texas and Mex
ico at times would feel more civil
;7e5 in each others company than
in that of the Wind city's.
(WHICH reminds us that when
w Aaron Saenz was governor Of
~ Nuevo Leon he told this writer
that twice a month he sen q pay
q of 1000 o pesos to be distribut-
- 10 workmen on the Monterrey
Laredo highway by one man on a
motorcycle.
This lone rider was never modest
ed by robbers or bandits. You
couldn't do that in Chicago. could
your" Governor saerY asked.
Try that out on your fiddle, Mr..
Chicago editor.
