SOME EDITORIAL COMMENT
In the city of Chicago a short
time since, while making a
speech denouncing the Pope of
Rome and Governor A1 Smith.
Senator Heflin paused g|ong
enough to exclaim that he had
received anonymous letters
threatening his life, but that if
he was killed, Governor AI
Smith and a hundred Catholic
priests would pay the forfeit
with their lives. Now, Senator
Heflin has been just as bitter
in his denunciation of Mussolini,
because of the latter’s fight on
Masonry in Italy, as he has in
his denunciation of the Po|>e,
and Mussolini and the Pope are
by no means friends; so we have
been wondering, in case some
Mussolini enthusiast or fanatic
should kill Senator Tom, if Gov-
ernor A1 Smith and the hundred
Catholic priests would have to
pay the forfeit with their lives!
Wonder if Senator Heflin ever
took the time to consider this
serious question and advise his
avengers what to do in case he
was killed on account of Mus-
solini and not because of the
Pope of Romef
Andrew Jackson/' and. as the
expresion can do no special harm,
we will let it go at that und
wonder what Old Hickory would
have thought could he have
looked in upon those holy ban-
queters doing honor of hia birth-
day ami heard Major Buckner
pay him that fine compliment.
But we don’t hold Dan responsi-
ble for what his overly-enthu-
siastic friends may say about
him. He just can’t help himself.
CANDIDATE FOR U. S.
SENATE.
John Dutro, 13-year old son of
Dr. 51. E. Dutro of Brownsville,
is quite a genius as a cartoonist
and his enrtoons are worthy of
mote than passing notice. His
“Mucking Broncho of Yesterday”
and his “Bucking Broncho of
Today,” are very original the
former showing a cowboy riding
a blinking broncho and the
latter showing him riding a
bucking airplane. Ibis “Presi-
dential Rodeo. Houston, Texas,”
showing Al Smith as the only
cowlmy able to stay on his bron-
cho, the others having all been
unsaddled by their bucking
steeds, is exeptionally good and
shows much real merit. If the
young man keeps up h;s work
he may yet win fame, renown
and money as a newspaper “strip
artist.”
Dr. f'. C. Selecman is a par-
son and the head of the South-
ern Methodist Univesity at Dal-
las. In a speech before a crowd
of Prohibitionists at a recent
gathering held in Dallas, he’ said
he expected to participate in the
Democratic Primary, but (fol-
lowing his leader, Tom Love)
would jump the Presidential no-
mination unless it pleased him.
For this he was applauded, but
the great applause came when he
said: “If you want to turn
nearly every Protestant pulpit in
Texas into a belching Volcano,
nominate Al Smith or some man
like him.” We thank Dr. Selee-
man for giving us that word.
We have long wanted a proper
word to apply to the uterances
that come from political preach-
er’s who convert their pulpits
into rostrums. “Belching” is
the proper word and it aptly
describes the nauseating ut-
terances of political preachers
like Dr. Selecman. Political
preachers “belch” their politics
from the pulpit and the head of
the great Southern Methodist
University is our authority for
saying so. And who is there so
base as to doubt the great Dr.
('. C. Selecman when he utters a
sentence in public?
In introducing, or presenting.
Governor Dan Mno<^ at the
Jackson Birthday Dinner, re-
cently held in Dallas, Major Mur-
rell L. Buckner referred to the
Governor as “a second Andrew
Jackson.” The Major, very ap-
propriately, might have added,
“and without Old Andy’s human
frailties.” Andrew Jackson liked
his liquor and drank it. 1I>
owned race-horses and bet on
them, and he didn’t mini bett-
ing on chicken-fights. Now, Gov-
ernor Moody indulges in none of
these wicked past'nies, but
teaches a Sunday-school, some-
thing* Andrew Jackson never
did. Andy could and would cuss
a blue streak when he got angry,
while Governor Moody never said
anything in his life worse than
“dog-gone it!” Andrew Jackson
believed in the code duello, and.
while that has long since gone
out of fashion, yet were it still
the vogue it ia safe to assert that
Governor Moody would be
against it. But Major Murrell L.
Buckner aayi “Dan i« a second
TILING MANUFACTURERS.
The O’Connoi Bros., Tom and
Dan who have given Laredo
perhaps the greatest tiling plant
in the State, turning out some
150 different patterns of tiling,
all of th(> patterns being pretty
ami some exceptionally so, have
had such a demand for their
product that they have found it
necessary to establish a branch
office ill San Antonio and soop
expect to establish another in
San Angelo, where there is a
growing demand for their pro-
duct. The Laredo plant, started
on a small scale a few years ago,
has grown into a large concern
and its output shows a big
yearly increase. In addition to
tiling, the plqnt also turns out
an artificial stone that is grow-
ing in popularity as a building
material, especially for homes.
Tom spends most of his time in
Laredo looking after the plant
there, while Dan puts in most
of hi> time running the San An-
tonio end of the business.

But us long us certain NN ull
Street Interests are permitted to
dictate our Mexicuu policy, no

Policy, but 1 can otfer my pro-
test and refuse to vote for the

sent certain Wall Street Inter-
ests instead of the American
pea pie.
Jn the Presidential campaign
my first preference is for my
personal friend, Senutor Janie •>
A. Reed, whom 1 regard as n
great statesman und the posses-
sor of those virtues thut emin-
ently qualify him for the duties
of u Chief Executive. 1 have a
great admiration -for Gov-
ernor Alfred E. Smith, and
should he receive the Democratic
nomination it would atford me
great pleasure and pride to give
him niy loyal and enthusiastic
support. Either of these great
Americans, in my estimation,
would make a President worthy
of the name. Governor Ritchie
of Maryland may also be placed
in their class.
These are the main issues on
which I submit my candidacy
and should other issues present
themselves I will not hesitate to
let the people know where 1
stand.
Circumstances I cannot pre-
vent, renders it impossible for
me to make a canvass of the
State, but I will endeavor to
place my views before the peo-
ple and leave it to them to do
the rest.

BUYS MEXICAN CATTLE.
I.ee Russell, well known among
Jim Ilogg County cattlemen,
bought '500 head of Mexican
stock cattle a few days ago and
will move them to Oklahoma
pastures. Dr F, Dutro of Browns
ville, Federal Quarantine Ins-
pector, came up to assist I).\ O’-
Neill, the new Inspector ut Li
redo, in passing on the cattle,
100 of which were without ticks
and were ready to be crossed tft
this side of the river. The others,
400 in all, came from a different
pasture, had been dipped twic?.
and were free from ticks. In
driving them into Nuevo Lare-
do. however, they picked up a
stray steer which showed a tick
or two and this nee ssitated the
stopping of the whole herd which
has to undergo another dipping*
or two before they are permitt-
ed to he moved to this side of
the Rio Grande. Mr. Russell did
not disclose the price ho paid
for the cattle.

on the Pacific Coast, ami for
which city Mr. Chapman will,
soon leave to establish a now
IT. S. Consulate, and of which
ho will be in charge. In conver-
sation with a News representa-
tive, Mr. Chapman said the peo-
ple of Monterrey were still
talking about the visit of the
llebbronville Rotarians and es-
pecially of the splendid and en-
tertaining programme put on by
them and which was something
new in Monterrey.
“Mr. McGee, who was spokes-
man for the llebbronville visi-
tors,” continued Mr. Chapman,
“got the large audience in a
splendid humor by making one
of the prettiest little speeches
I ever heard and highly ap-
propriate to the occasion. Then
came the young ladies, first Miss
Briscoe, next Miss Stetson and
then the three Mexican young
adies, the Garza Sisters and Miss
Pena. The lights were turned off
and Miss Briscoe and Miss Stet-
