The Bandera Bugle would thrive


The Bandera Bugle would thrive
on the misfortunes of San Antonio
1t says: "Tho San Antonians by Il
vote Of 956 against, and 3S4 for,
have decided not to build system of
sewers. Goodbye, for some time to
come, to any further increase of tho
health-seoking population Of tho
Alamo city. Their backwardness,
however, will DO Bandera's oppor-
tunity. Our little city needs no
sewers, is naturally drained on all
sides, and is admitted to be the
healthiest place in Western Texas"
AL this and much moro to the same
purport applies with much greater
force to San Marcos 1t is certainly
far more attractive and possesses
greater merits as o health resort
than San Antonio, and is destined to
be her most formidable rival in that
respect.

A New Work Of Great Impor lance,
Just COMPLETED.

One of the most important works ever
Issued from the press in America is the

Saloon, Destructive OF NIL Leglilmst
Business.

Saloons Destructive Of Nil Legl1ihs'
Business.
In further exposition and elsbora'
ton Of our editorial Of last week. we
present below a telling article from
the Toledo Blade. II il 30 clear and
explicit that he that runs may read and
understand, that saloons, no FAR from
being a benefit n~e tho direst curse
to any community asregards business,
as well as morals. We wish to
impress this t.uth, because We
have now and then heard men who
ought 20 know better, object to
local option on the ground that II is
unfayorable il u business point OF
view:
Let us take M average community
in which there are say 1000 men
working for wages, This means that
there are altogether in the community
5000 polsons-thc other 1000 being
made up OF women, children and
those incapacitated for daily labor.
II is PLAIN TO any one who will think
minute that all The money the com
munity can have is what these l,OOO
mon can earn us the reward OF their
labor. All the clothing, food, house
room, books, etc, that the 1000
women, etc, can have is what can be
bought with the proceeds ofthc days
work Of tho men
Consequently all the business that
can be done by the dry-goods stores,
groceries, boot and shoe shops, etc,
which supply the various wants OF
these people, is limited to the amodnt
of money which the men can earn in
the course Of the year.
Therefore, anything that diminishes
or wastes this total sum of wages is
a direct blow at the whole community.
II is reduction Of every one'smeans
Of support.
Ii a saloon is started in the COM
and takes in $4,000 in the
course Of u yeal-a very small est-
mate Of what 1000 men wouldspond
n one year-the amount OF food,
clothing, etc, bought is diminished
hat amount at least, without taking
nto account the diminished capacity
IF the wage-earners TO earn wages,
caused by their consumption OF the
10000 worth ofliquors. The whole |
community is many thousand dollarj
poorer because the saloon keeper
refers TO ''lead IN easy life, rather
han support himself by honorable
abor.
Just in proportion TO the amount
# liquor sold anywhere SO isall other
BUSINESS injured or even destroyed.
he worst enemy to the saloons
hould be the man who deals in any
t the noccssaIies OF life, for nothing
an be so hurtful to legitimate trade
$ the destruction of the peoples
npacity to buy by their indulgence
l strong drink.
Considered purely Us a business
enture the most profitable thing that
&c merchants Of any city could do
ould be to provide every saloon
eeper in tho city with good salary,
nd send him abroad TO enjoy bimsolf
y the rest Of his life. II al saloon
eeping could be stopped i'll ibis way,
would pay the merchants to support
70 saloon, keepers in luxurious idle
ess, in the choicest spots in the
Grid.

lively few people in town, but it is
expected that there will be the usual

Judging from their action in appoint

that we will co-educate next year.
The action ofthe Board or Regents
