For thirty nine years The Brownsville Herald, under
f1rst one guiding hand then another, has labored for the
upDullding of the city of Brownsville and of the Rio
Grnnde Valley.
AS a Valley institution the Herald has seen the meta
morphosis of a cow country, sparsely settled, into one Of
the richest agricultural sections of the world, dotted with
thriving cities and peopled by farmers, business and pro-
fessional men and women from all sections Of the world.
The Valley has grown because it possesses the funda-
mentals necessary to such successful growth.
Climate, soil, availability of water for irrigation pur-
poses, geographical location, all have combined to push
this section to the front, and to keep it there.
Tn the early days of the development Of the Valley,
there may have been some grounds for the extremely
sensitive attitude taken by some Valley residents regard
ing the sort of publicity which was sent out from our vari-
Gus Valley communities.
The Valley was being weighed in the balance in
those days, and perhaps it was well that news stories
which might place us in an unfavorable light be kept at
home and not given out to the world for publication.
Times have changed.
This section is on a firm and stable basis.
News stories "break" here as they break in other
sections of the United States, and when they break they
are going to get into print.
Metropolitan daiIies Of Texas have been unusually
kind to the Valley. In our early days their editors realized
the difficulties of building a new country and in many
cases deliberately withheld from publication stories which
had real news value because those stories might have had
an adverse effect on Valley development.
Now that the Valley is firmly entrenched, has really
arrived, we may expect to be treated in the same fashion
as any other section Of the country.
When news breaks in the Valley, it will be published,
not only by Valley newspapers worthy of the name. but by
papers upstate.
We must take the bad with the good. The mere fact
that something has happened in the Valley which takes
its place among the sensational pieces of news, bad news
IL you will, in itself carries no reflection on this section of
the country.
No paper, either in or out of the Valley, Is going to
deliberately malign this or any other section.
On the other hand, the time has come when no paper,
in or out of the Valley. can with Justice be asked to with
hold publication Of news Just because that particular piece
of news IS not pure boosting material.

Prohibition Director Andrew McCampbell of New
York and his raiders captured the largest brewery in that
city uncovered in recent years. 1t il said the plant has the
value Of a million dollars. There were thousands of bar
reIs of beer neatly stacked; we'll oiled and polished
machinery, automatic filters and refrigerating machinery.
There were ledgers for each borough in New York city and
books containing customers lists are in the hands of Andy
along with the other spoils.
For years and years McCampbell was a deputy to a
United States marshal way down here in Texas. Prohibi-
tion came in. Andy was named as an enforcement Of
ficer. His achievements landed him in the city of New
York. He is a hard headed and hard listed Scot and said
to be a man without price. Now he is making history in
little old New York.
