a8 one of the great cities of the South does not depend upon the
presence of soldiers, although they can help, it is true. But the
greatest and most dependable assets of Texas City are its geo-

tries would not be seized or de-

Frank’s attorneys claim this was
a violation of his constitutional

this court, will be the basis of an

Frank’s other motion, which
was denied October 14 was a re-
quest for a new trial based up-
on alleged discovery of new evi-
dence since his conviction. This
motion was based chiefly upon
the sensational move early this
month of William M. Smith, for-

During the next generation the new seems likely to concern us
very much more than the old. The Panama canal brings it thou-

to closer trade relations; and a common stake in democratic rule
affords a tie we dare not ignore.

There has been a universal cry by people all over the State, and
to certain extent in Texas City, about the dire things that will
happen to Texas City “when the soldiers leave.” As a matter of
fact, it is highly probable that all the soldiers will never leave
Texas City. It is almost certain that a permanent army post will
be located at Texas City on account of its proximity to Mexico and ।
he Panama Canal and because of the fact that the camp at Tex-
as City has been the most healthful camp the United States Army
has ever had.
But even if every soldier in Texas City should be ordered away
and none would come in their place, Texas City would go on grow-
mg and advancing and prospering. When simmered down to
the last analysis, the presence of the 8,000 soldiers here does not
m reality mean so very much for Texas City. It is true that they
