A PRETTY SHREWD business
observer remarked the other day
that “most of this talk about the
hii^h cost of living was produced
in people who produced verv lit-
tle else.” ' /
The* real answer to tho hifh cost problem is W-O-R-K.
When each cf us produces to capacity there will be
enough to go round—and at right prices too. The old
law cf supply and demand is still working ‘"overtime.”
Work hard; spend what you MUS*f spend in Browns-
ville but surely deposit something regularly in a Savings
Account.

SEABliRY AND SPEARS
ADDRESS A GATHERING
OF S. BENITO VOTERS
(Continued fiom Page One)
in fact I opposed him in favor of th<
incumbent Judge W. B. Hopkins.”
In reference to Mr. Davenport’
charges of political ambitions Mr
Sea bury lefirred to the fact that he
nail twice been offered the county
chairmanship by Judge Wells and had
twice refused. “This shows.” he.said
“that l ether did not want the office
at all. or else would not accept it a*
the hands of Judge Wells. 1 invite
Fudge Spears to compare his record
with mine in this respect.
”So far as trying to get control of
the courts and the judges is concern-
ed if 1 could not practice my pro
fession without getting favors and j
plums from the courts such an ap-
pointment as attorney for receivers
i would quit practicing here and go
some place where 1 could make as
honest living.”
Judge Spears in the course of hi-
talk declared that a lawyer wh > j
would represent a man before tin
draft board when he was not entitled '
to exemption was not entitled to bt
uot.sidcred an American citizen. He
aid that he was using his American
•rivilege to run for office and that!
.f Judge Wells or the machine is sup
Kitting his race ne was glad of it un<
lid nor doubt that Judge Seat urj
vould do the same if it was offered!
to him. J
Judge Spears said it was true tha
ie had been in conference with Judgi
Wells at various times but he said
hose conferences were in regard t<
other matters not the county chair
ntanship.
Judge Sea but y had stressed the al
leged Wells-Spem s combination show
in- tne support by Harbert Davenpor
and several others and The Sentinel.
'!<• quoted sev. rid proverbs such a-
‘Birds of a feather flock together”
‘By their companions hall ye know
them.” and “He who lies down wit!
the dog will get up with fleas.”
