HAPPY H4RLINGEN.

Harlingen, Texas, has much in COM
mon with Ell Centro. 1t is the jobbing
center of the lower Rio Grande Valley,
an important irrigated area, producing
crops very similar to those of Imperial
Valley.
Haringen has population Of 10000,
few thousands less than that of this
city, and year ago this progressive city
erected an auditorium with a seating ca
pacity of 2,207 persons, at cost of $780,
600, through a 20 year bond issue, pro-
viding for its citizens and the surround
ing territory the only auditorium within
the lower Rio Grande Valley.
John T, Floore, manager of the civic
auditorium, writes today: After mag
nificent year of successful operation. it
is difficult to estimate the value of this
auditorium to the city of Harlingen and
to our entire valley.
We have played such attractions as
Sousa's Band, Madame Schumann-
Helnk, The Passion Play, Rio Rita and a
multitude Of other attractions which we
would not be able to present to the peo-
pie were it not for this building. We
have found that the few people who were
opposed to the city building this auditor
lum are now among the strongest sup
porters Of the idea. The fact is that ev-
cry citizen Of Harlingen and the Rio
Grande Valley takes great pride in point
ing out this building as q beauty spot in
our valley, and as resplendent civic a.
chievement. Besides these booked attrac-
tions, our auditorium is in constant daily
use, Of course. for our own local and
countrywide gatherings, of every con-
ceivable kind and it we'll serves the multi
tude of demands made upon it.
Il am reminded" Floore states, "of an
open letter written by one Of our local
bankers at the time that the voters Of
Harlingen We're urged by the chamber of
commerce to support the auditorium
measure at the bond election. This for
ward minded and progressive financier
said:
The comparatively small expendi-
ture for this auditorium is certainly JUS
titled. The city should render the great
est possible services and facilities to its
citizens. If the services or facilities will
bring results, tangible or intangible, in
excess Of their respective costs, and are
within the means OF the community, they
are desirable expenditures in any actual
economic sense. We should not be ex-
travagant, but we should not do without
the things that will add to our prosperity

CHAMBER MONEY
NOT FINANCING

Leo Hetzel, president of the Fl
Centre Chamber of Commerce, To-Day
asked The Press to help correct an
impression that has gained S III G
footing among residents of the elty'
"'While the Chamber of Commerce
as a body has endorsed the idea OF
bonds for a civic auditorium, the
Chamber is not contributing any OF
IT'S funds for advertising or circular
letters which have been sent out, -
Hetzel said.
"We recognize the fact that some
Individual members of the Chamber
are opposed to the auditorium pro
position, aud that of course is theiI
right. Money for the expense en-
cnrred in connection with propa
oanda for the auditorium has been
contributed by individual public
spirited citizens. No funds of the

CHANGE THE DATE

One week from today man is to be
hanged by the State of California for
murder.
Apparently, as long as we have capital
punishment, Joseph Troche merits the
sentence meted out to him, for he killed
his sweetheart while they were on their
way to be married.
But condemned murderer that he is,
one must respect the good that is in him
as expressed by his objection made to
Warden Holohan against being hanged
next week.
Friday, April IS, happens to be Good
Friday. It is evident that the court i'm
posing sentence upon Troche did not con-
suit his calendar any too carefully, or
the particular date chosen would not have
been set.
Under the Constitution, there is no
state religion in the United States, so
that non-Christians are within their
rights in saying Whats the difference?"
While technically we make no recogni-
ton Of religion in our state affairs, we
actually do No session of the legislature
is opened without a prayer by the chap
lain; chaplains are also appointed for all
state institutions.
Preponderantly the country and Cali
lOTUld are ONIlSlldIl. I y Cul IStldIS NOoo
Friday is a most sacred day, and for the
State of California to conduct an execu-
tion on that day is particularly object
ionable to them, feeling that fair-mind-
ed non-Christians can appreciate.
The State of California, by changing
the date of Troche's execution, will be
performing an act that will be pleasing
to thousands of citizens. There is no good
reason why the change should not be
made, and many why it should.
We hope that the press of the state will
unite in registering a protest against the
execution and that its protest will have
the support of the churches and all citi-
zens who recognize the feelings of others
and have proper respect for religion no
matter what particular creed or sect it
may be- If it is within the legal province
of Governor Young to change the date,
he should be petitioned to do so.
