Laredo Weekly Times from Laredo, Texas • Page 12

from satttrday daily CENTENNIAL A mericans are taking an interest in the celebration of independence, second only to the interest which is being taken by the citizens of the republic of Mexico. As sisters nations, and with many interests which are mutual, the relations between the United States and Mexico must of necessity be close, and in many respects, cordial. The two greatest nations on the North American continent, and lying contiguous, with important and ever increasing trade relations, the intercourse is naturally neighborly, and the people of the United States will rejoice to see the present centennial enterprise cement still closer the friendship between the two countries, while stimulating pride among the Mexican people of their own country and their own government. .1 thp AlODg iue social relations between the citizens of the two republics are closer than in the interior, there is an especial interest in the success of the undertaking, and a general hope that it will result in the inauguration of a greater era of advancement, progress and prosperity, than has ever been known soutb of the Rio Grande, and that it will go into Mexican history as one of the most successful and important events the country has ever witnessed. MORE REPUBLICAN GUESSES imparted by Professor Mally, that- Laredo is to become the center of the greatest citrus fruit field in the southwest.

Laredo has been taking the lead in so many respects of late, additional evidences of its super iority do not occasion surprise. he enumeration which gave New York almost 5000,000 inhabi tants was taken before Col. George Bailey, of the Houston Post, and Col. Jake Wolters, of all Texas, went to that city to spend their vacations, etc. If they bad been there when the count was made, there is no telling how high the figures might have run.

A recently published picture Reddin Andrews, Socialist candidate for governor, shows him with whiskers as long as the shot his party is aking for success, a sure bet that Brother Andrews was a Populist when Populism was in flower. he Texas Democrats endorsed Joseph W. Bailey for the presidency, and the Democratc of Georgia CROOKS CHASED OUT Consul Garrelf Says He Has Caused Them to Make Exit endorsed Hoke Smith for the presidency. It the race narrows down to a contest between the two, we shall be sorry for Georgia. silence of Mr, Taft heals discord in party" pipes up that good Administration organ the New York Herald.

It would be well if those who give out the news at Beverly and Sagamore Hill would dry up for a while. That he is sure he has caused the American crooks in Nueve Laredo to leave that place for good, is a statement made yesterday by Araer ican Cousul Garrett He says the men have been driven from the town and have gone to parts uukown, but some of them are supposed to be on this side of the river. Ever since February the crooks have inhabited Nuevo Laredo and have been robbing American vis of It is alleged that they have taken thousands of dollars from Americans. Receotly they became so bold that American Consul Garrett got after them, and by taking the matter up with the authorities, he had the men forced from the city. They were arrested and the moment they were released they skipped.

Consul Garrett says he considers it his duty to keep from the town such people whose object is to rob American citizens. l'be parties who have been driven out were Americans. PARADISE Is The Laredo District Just Opening Is Very missing With Large Increase in Game Reported here ip a guess going around that Colonel Roosevelt will do nothing to prevent the Sherman stand pat-men from having full control of the New York State convention and making a platform and nominating candidates that will invite defeat. Such a Republican catastrophe would play ioto the hands of the colonel by allowing him to dominate the organization in Inland select a delegation to the National convention that he would control. And we might go on with all the guesses that are going and yet arrive at nothing certain beyond the fact that the rival Republican factions are making horrible faces at each other, and are quite ready to make goats of any who does not agree with them.

The fickle wind ins stable compared with the daily news from the headquarters of the Republican statmen. The Elephant himself stands with dejected look and takes orders from no one, and the rank and tile of the Republican party are divided into riva camps. Col. Roosevelt has been saying some bard things about the monopolies right in Colorado, the home of Simon Guggenheim, The colonel is one of those defiant spirits who is unwilling to wiggle every time Simon says I all of this Republican political hubbub, where is Mr. Knox? There seems to be need for bis service to keep doown the growing feling of dislike toward us in Cen tral America, especially in Nicaragua and Panama.

I is possible that South Carolina has gone prohibition in the recent election. But then, it must be remembered, that Texas has been getting a heavy immigration of progressive Soutb Carolinians during the past few years. CHURCH SERVICES. Methodist Church: Sunday- School at 9:45 a. m.
