The holiday edition of the san An
tonic LIGnr is so full of good things, so
voluminOus, bright and altogether de-
sirable that to do 1t Il moiety Of justice
would tax our powers. A contribution
to the early history of Texas is readable,
and will prove important data to the
future historian. The l,IGIIT thoroughly

hope Its rays may long be bright in the
land.-L Laredo Times.

The San Antonio LIGHT's holiday
edition is one of the finest speci-
mems of Southern newspaper enterprise
that we have ever seen. Ii Ia an unfail-
ing source Of surprise that san Anto-
Mo, n city of but little greater popula-
tion than Houston, Is able to support
good morning paper and two tlrst-class
evening journals. But such is the fact.
The Express is an able and successful
paper, and everybody knows that the
LGnr and the Times are not only well
conducted evening papers, but also
prosperous and, to all appearances, pay
ing enterprises. The holiday edition of
tonic, to the State of Texas and to the
craft. Why cannot Houston do as well?
There Is great deal to be packed in
the answer Houston journal.
