Investigating Loose Talk
The charge of District Judge A. W. Cunningham to
the Cem^ren county grand jury to investigate the pub-
lished assertions credited to Sid Hardin defeated can-
didate for congress relative to illegal voting in the
July primaries will recevie the approval of the great
majority of border residents.
Whether the charges credited to Hardin constitute
criminal libel is controversial. The libel laws of Texas
arc stringent. They are designed to protect the public
* against individuals who are inclined to loose talk. It
will be the duty of the Cameron county grand Jury not
only to investigate allegations of irregularities and
illega voting but also to determine whether the re-
flection! cist upon the election officials of Cameron
county by such charges are not sufficient grounds for
an indictment for criminal libel.
Politicians are often prone to talk loosely; to make
charges that have no foundation in fact. Usually such
charges arc offered as a palliative to supporters.
fameron county is proud of the record achieved in
holding elections in which the will of the voters is
clearly expressed. Men of the highest type preside in
the various precincts men in whom the voters of Cam-
eron county have utmost confidence. Any allegation
of fraud of any character in connection with the Cam-
eron county primary should be investigated and the
individual making such charges required to prove them.
Incidentally the assertion that 10000 Mexican cit-
isens participated in the primaries in the congressional
district and that Mexicans were brought from the
south side of the Rio Grande to vote for Garner is a
direct thrust at the U. S. immigration service on the
lower border. It may be construed as a charge that
the federal officers the men who are so efficiently and
tealously guarding the border connived with the op-
ponents of Hardin to effect his defeat.
Judge Cunningham whose record during the four
years he has served on the bench in the district in-
cluding Cameron Willacy Kenedy Kleberg and Nueces
counties has won for him the respect and admiration
of the entire state is a citizen of Cameron county. As
e citizen he is proud of the record Cameron county has
achieved; he is proud of the high class of citizenship
that has been attracted to this part of the border; of
the excellent record made in suppressing lawlessness.
As judge of the criminal district court he has jealously
guarded the fair name of the county. Knowing as he
does the high type of citizenship the honesty and fair-
ness with which Cameron county elections are con-
ducted he mercy performed his duty in charging the
« grand jury to make a thorough investigation; to in-
dict if violations are discovered and to take steps to
dear the record of the election officials if the fact is
established that they have been libeled and the county
ha? recourse in law.
Mexico Move* Cautiously
The Mexican congress which convened September 1
received from President Calles a message stating i
unequivocal terms he would not be a candidate for i
second term and urging congress to select as a suc-
cessor a man who is in accord with the progressive pol-
icies of the government who will devote his energies
toward development of that country's latent resources
and develop the highway and school systems.
The trend of popular opinion especially fat Um
of Tamaulipaa and now secretary of state and head oi
the Calles cahjnet. In many respects the former gov-
erno ris believed superior to his chief especially ir
the line of administrative ability which has beer
xlearly proved n governing the state of Tamaulipa*.
Reports from Mexico City indicate that the lobby-
ists who exercise considerable influence in the shap-
ing of Mexican national policies are departing from the
usual custom and are advocating selection of a civilian
instead of a military chieftain for provisional presi-
dent to succeed Calles. Members of the chamber oi
deputies while not committing themselves have indi-
cated they consider this an opportune time to vary
from the selection of a military man and to choose one
who is in closer contact with the civilian population
Published appeals by several politicians lately are
couched in parallel terms asking that whatever is done
by congress care should be taken to avoid at all cost
disruption of existing conditions. At the same time
it is argued that members of the Calles bloc might t>e
induced to support a man outside the ranks providing
that as provisional president he would be sympatheti-
to the group's aspirations. Such a course might be
followed so that by the time of the regular election the
Calles group members might he in better position to
select a candidate as they selected Ohregon and hav-
him elected for the six-year term as president.
Among Mexican leaders however it is deemed very
improbable that cry one mitside the close circle of
Calles supporters will be considered by congress as
they consider that any departure from that circle would
be construed as playing into the hands of the so-called
reactionaries. For that reason. Portes Gil proved
leader ia expected to receive th«* major vote when the
question ia presented congress fo rdefinite action.
In this connection it ia worthy of note that for the
first time in many years if ever before in the nation’s
history. Mexico is considering the selection of a pro-
visional president without portentious signs of a revo-
lution on the fsorison or attempts at intimidation upon
the part of political leaders. It is indicative of the
new order in Mexico abandonment of the old theory
that might makes right and that revolution is the pan-
acea for all national ills.
There haa been much to criticise in the Calles ad-
ministration but under the Calles leadership Mexico
has gone far toward stabilising her government and ii
steadily advancing in political economic and commer-
cial development.

.THE RURAL IEWP01NT
(Corpus Christ! Caller).
The slow shift from rural to urban viewpoints in
the United States is observabla particularly the de-
partment of labor point* out in a report on parks and
playgrounds in the reluctance of most cities to pro-
vide for adequate P»rb facilities.
“Rural individualism still controls to a very large
extent in urj>an communities as the peculiar political
condition whereby state governments exercise consid-
erable control over laws affecting cities tends to per-
petuate rural control even in cities located in states
that are largeiy industrial” the report cite*.
“The dominance of rural ideas and the rapid growth
of citits are the two factors which taken together
help to explain why th* park movement which began
in the two decades following the Civil War and tha
playground movement which arose in the next decade
failed to gather much momentum until after the close
of the century.”
The resident of the rural districts puts small value ;
upon a bit of land to which those weary of the uproar I
and the monotony of city streets may go. To him an ’
acre of smoothly clipped lawn is just an acre of land;
to the urban dweller urba nin thought as well as in ;
residence that acre may be a sort of oasis a place in j
which he may feel a proprietary interest however i
Small. It offers him rest and reaxation it offers to (
hit children safety from the traffic of the streets.
As America ceases to be predominantly rural in sen- j
timent as it has ceased to be predominantly rural in
population Ita citiea will begin to seek—nay to de-
mand—better park facilities greater park acreage. The
sad part of the whole situation of course lies in the
fact that too frequently cities do not recognise the ne- j
cessity for more parks until it has grown to such pro- ;
portions that the acquisition of park acreage if not
impossible is so costly as to bar it from all consid-
eration.

SCHOOL AGAIN
School begins again and the wasting of some mil-
lions of hours starts out for the season in a big way.
For it is inevitable that school time means wasted
time for many millions of pupils. For one reason or
another most pupils refuse to take school seriously.
It does comparatively little good for parents and
teachers to reiterate the old truth that time is valua-
ble and that wasted hours do not return. The human
animal is so constituted that he sees best looking back-
ward. The young human having little to look back
upon Is quite apt to be practically blind. •
Nevertheless I believe in repeating the old truths
even to the young. A few seeds will fall upon recep-
tive soil and will spring up and flourish bringing
forth fruit an hundredfold.
This is all as it should be.
• • • e
Few pupils make the most of their school opportuni-
ties. But on the other hand few great leaders are
needed. It is worth all the trouble and expense re-
quired to keep the schools and colleges going just for
the few who use them to advantage. We must place
opportunity in the way of all our youth in an enlight-
ened republic so that the few who can and will make
make the most of their opportunities do the important
work of leadership tomorrow.
We must also have the dullards wastrels time-
servers and smart-alecks. We must have them in
school so that we may have them in the world's work.
Society depends for its very existence upon the labors
of the mediocre; upon the forced efforts of those who
cannot and will not learn anything important.
So I hope the teachers will start out this year with
a determination to cease worrying about the dumb and
effortless and lasy children. The teachers cannot be
expected to change the natures of such pupils. They
must be satisfied if they can help on toward self-real-
isation the children who nre hungry for knowledge.
The dull ones should be given opportunity t« improve
their minds hut if they will not learn there should be
no mourning or fretting about it.
* • • •
If I were a teacher I would concentrate my best ef-
forts upon the child with the inquiring mind. That
child deserves attention for upon the quality of his
instruction msy depend much of the course of history
during the next century.
You can teach everyone above the grade of moron
to read and write and perform a few simple sums. But
a few you can teach to love life because of its marvel-
ous treasury of things to he learned.

EXPENDITURE OF TAXES MCUISD
By WALTER J. KOHLER Manufacturer.
(Walter J. Kohler was borti at Sheboygan Wis.
in 1875. He was educated at public schools at She-
boygan and at the University of Wisconsin. His
career began with various industrial and commer-
cial interests in which spheres he became an in-
fluential figure. Kohler served as presidential
elector in 1916 and as regent of the University of
Wisconsin for six years. He was elected president
of the board of the university for three years. He
also is connected with various civic and welfare
institutions. His home is in Kohler. Wis.)
Taxation is the price we pay for benefits of gov-
ernment and we are entitled to ask whether the value
we get is in proportion to the cost. The total expense
of our state government amounts to millions of dollars
annually the largest business in the state and by 7ar
the most important in its bearing upon human well
being.
Our government has no right to ;pend a dollar of
our money unnecessarily. It has no right to create
useless jobs or to retain inefficient jobholders. It
has no right to tolerate duplication of effort or to fol-
low slow and antiquated methods where modern equip-
ment would reduce the cost or improve the result.
Efficiency m government is not a materialistic
thing ft does not glorify the dollar but it recognises
that the dollar comes from the people who are entitled
to get what they pay for whether it be roads schools
law enforcement the care of the helpless and depen-
dent or anything else.
Injustice neglect of duty the law’s delays the
spoils of office and all the evils that can creep into a
government are forms and evidences of Inefficiency
demonstrating thw* goo% management is lacking.
Reduction of taxes or increased efficiency in ad-
ministering the tax money are possible only by refus-
ing office to men whose eyes are forever on the next
election who trim their sails to every political wind
who make appointments on the basis of service to them-
selves instead of service to the state and who use their
time and that of their office holding henchmen to build
•up a political machine at the expense of the taxpayers.

| “It Cant be Done”
I j By FREDERIC ARNOLD RUMMER
READ THUS FIRST:
The etory opens with the pending
^displacement of the star Alice Car-
roll of the davidson Productions Co.
Alice’s contract is about to expire
and Lew Davidson a hard-boiled
judge of pretty women has been
seen to scan cynically the first traces
of wrinkles in her otherwise girlish
face. Her fate is regarded as sealed.
Tony Hull a director with a sense
of decency a tall gray-eyed man of
thirty-five has secret hopes of wit-
nessing the elevation of Jane Dare
a small graceful woman just emerg-
ing from joyous youth of great
beauty and line character to stellar
honors.
(NOW CIO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER HI
Tony Hull having dismissed the
waiter with their dinner order
glanced across the table at his friend.
• Well Jimmy you priceless old
relic" he laughed "what’s the latest
news from the coast?”
The two men were dining at a new
and rather gorgeous cafe of Fifty-
fourth street much frequented by
the notables of the stage and screen
world. Left to himself Tony would
doubtless have sought his favorite
haunt an obscure chop-house at
which the quality of the cooking was
in inverse ratio to the decorations
the scenery but to his old friends and
brother director Jim Reese a trip to
New York after two years in Holly-
wood was something of an event to
be celebrated accordingly.
“Nothing particularly startling.
Tony.” his companion replied spear-
ing at the hors d’euvres. "Romain
has left the Royal as 1 suppose you
know and formed a producing com-
pasy of hia own. And Jessica Duvall
has split with Milt Rubin again—this
time for good they say. And—this
ought to Interest you—I ran into
Irene Shirley just before I left at a
big party given by Sam Kresler of
the Inter-Ocean. Everybody was
there. She looked stunning.”
Tony Hull’* eyes hardened; be-
tween them grew a black frown. For
a moment he did not speak. Then
his smile returned but there was a
synical twist to the corners of bis
large homely mouth.
“Is that so?” he remarked slowly.
“Who’s she got her hooks into now?"
“You'll hit tho ceiling when 1 tell
you. Reese leaped aeross the table
grinning broadly. “None other than
your respected chief. Lew Davidson."
"No.” Tony stared at his friend
incredulously.
"It's a fact. He'd only just arrived
that morning but the beautiful Irene
was right on the job with every hook
freshly baited and a line of girly-
giriy talk that would have given;
you a pain. I don’t doubt she was
reciting nursery rhjmes to him be-
fore the evening was over. 1 left
early myself having some packing
to do. but she had him hacked
gainst the ropes by the time supper
was served.”
For a moment Tony Hill puffed re-
flectively at his cigarette his
thoughts groping hack into the past.
Then he shook himself free of the
memories which oppressed him.
“Much good it will do her” he
growled. "Lew Davidson is too old
a bird to fall for anything like that.”
“It’s the old ones that do fall for
it” Reese observed cynically. “Dav-
idson’s fifty at least isn’t he?”
“Fifty-four.”
“That makes it worse. 1 tell you
Tony it’s the dangerous age for a
man—that period between fifty and
sixty. He feels that his youth is
slipping awav from him and he
reaches out for it in others knowing
that he is losing it himself. Pitful
in a way but I suppose we’ll all
come to it sooner or later. Davidson
may be a wise old owl in businers.
I’ve always heard h«* could get more
out of a deal than any man in the
game. But when it comes to women
these financial wizards seem to give
their brains a vacation and try to
imagine they’re twenty-two-carat
Romeos. Oh—I’m not saying David-
son’s going to fall for Irene Shirley.
I guess you might huve something to
say about that. But I’m telling you.
boy from the way she was going
after him that night it won’t be her
fault if he doesn’t.”
“You're away off. Jimmy." Tony
shook his head. “Davidson doesn't
run after women. I know him. He’s
had plenty of chances if he’d wanted
to. Alice Carroll tried it when she
first came with us I heir but he
didn’t warm up any more than aj
frost-bitten turnip. A good many
others have made a play for him.

) money has a lot of influence not
only in pictures but on the stage. |

ever got anywhere. You see Lew j
has a wife—a plain middle-aged
woman but sharp as a terrier. She'd j
check him up quick enough if he
et'er tried to wonder from the family i
fireside. Between you and me he's
a bit afraid of her.”
Again Jimmy Reese indulged in his
cynical smile quite unconvinced by
Tony’s arguments.
“Old stuff my boy—old stuff j
When did checking up a husband
ever help to hold him? What you’ve
just told me about his wife makes
him an easier mark than 1 thought.
Don’t tell me about these gay old
birds with jealous wive*. 1 know
them.” *
The look of anxiety on Tony
Hull’s face deepened. His fingers
shook a trifle as he lit another cig-
arette.
“Look here Jimmy” he asked.
"Are you keeping anything back?
To hear you talk. Davidson is bound
to make a fool of himself just be-
cause Irene Shirey has given him a
couple of baby stares. What’s the
big idea anyway?”
“There isn't any except what I've
told you. I’m not keeping back a
thing. But 1 know Irene—know her
methods—and so do you. A lot bet-
ter than 1 do for that matter. I’ve
been watching her. ever since she
came with the Inter-Ocean—have
met her over and over at parties
and the like and I can see she’s
made up her mind to vamp some-
body—anybody—who can help her
become a star. Yet—that's her am-
bition even if it does hand you a
laugh. She tried it on J.un Kess-
ler. last year but Sam’s only 40 with
a young wife who keeps him busy as
a hen on a hot griddle looking after
her needs so it didn't work. And
she tried it on old man Roth of the
All-Star too but he told her he'd
put on carpet slippers when he got
to be 60 and decided not to make
any bigger fool of himself than God
Almight had already done for him.
You remember how dippy he was
over Stella Adair a few years ago. I
guess he learned his lesson—and
paid a fat price for it too. But Da-
vidson's seven or eight years young-
er and just ripe for some sweetie
who'll tell him she doesn’t- find
young boys interesting because they
are so raw and crude—that only men
of experience can give her the men-
tal thrills she’s after.”
“Mental thrills! Irene? Good
Lord!”
"Exactly. That’s her latest line.
She hasn’t enough real grey matter
to analyze half one one per cent but
she's a whis when it comes to play-
ing her own particular game. ! had
a long talk with her one day down
at the beach. She was sitting un-
der a big umbrella reading—what
do you think—‘Ulysses.’ I don’t
suppose she gets much out of it—I
couldn’t myself—but this highbrow
pose goes well with schoolgirl dress-
es and no makeup. If some wise-
cracking vamp begins to ask you
about ‘Jurgen’ or ‘r’ainted Veils’ or
‘Women in Love’ you naturally think
she's out to talk dirt. But let some
sweet and innocent young thing pull
that stuff on you—on a man like
Davidson say—and want to know
what it’s all about and ten chances
to one he’ll jump to the concusion
that it’s his duty to protect her from
the cruel world. Wefi—that’s Irene’s
nevj tine. James Branch Cabell in
words of one syllable. It’s a mighty
dangerous line Tony believe me.
That’s why I say what I have about
Davidson. But after all suppose
Irene does hook hint. What differ-
ence does it make to you—now V*
“None. Jimmy—not in the way you
mean. I don’t give a tinker’s dam
what Irene does or doesn’t do—per-
sonally. But it so happens that our
company may decide pretty soon to
make a new gtar and I’m rather hop-
ing to see a young woman we have
with us now get the contract. Jane
Dare’s her name. Know her?”
Reese shook his head- *
“Not personally. But I’ve seen
her in some of your productions.
Very pretty but a trifle—weil—cold.
I thought.”
"Nonsense. She hasn't had a

NEW Y’ORK.—Another thing In
favor of small towns that they
don't harbor any persons who pay
headwaitera in the leading hotels in
the town to address them familiarly
by name when they enter the dining

There arc persons in New York

profession of playing upon human
vanity. They soon develop a sixth
sense that enables them to know on
sisrht the type of man who likes to
be mistaken for someone of import-
ance and is willing to pay for the
privilege such as it is. of sitting
where all others present may wit-
ness his bad table manners.
There are New York restaurants
which eater especially to this class.
Thev pay little attention to the
quality of the food but go in strong-
lv for show. Nearly every hotel has
three or four dining rooms with a
couple of persons who like to think
they're dining in the millionaire
manner ar.d the others for persons
who really go into a restaurant to
eat. The food for all of the res-
taurants comes from the same kit-
chen. but the prices in each vary as
mach as 200 per cent.

absurd so far as Irena Shirley ia

Laredo Section Will
Plant Big Onion Crop
LAREDO Tex. Sept. 5^—A ship-
ment of 36000 pounds of high-grade
Bermuda onion seed from Teneriffe
Canary Islands. Spain has been re-
ceived in Laredo for the T. M. Reid
Teneriffe Onion Seed company rep-
resented in this city by Dan P. Pue.
This is sufficient seed to furnish
onion plants for about 8.600 acres.
As onion growers are now preparing
their seed-beds it is expected that
most of this seed will he sown in the
sedbeds from about September 6 to
10 three to remain until they make
sturdy young plants to be transplant-
ed to the open fields about the
middle of November.
*!*■ «*P«ted that about 8600 to
4.600 acres will be set out in onion
plants in November although that
amount of acreage may be either
small or larger according to future
market conditions it is said.
