TIE EXAMINER EXAMINES.

The very judlcIous circular emanRting
from the Board of Trade Of this city
bears fruit. 1t Ia already doing much to
correct the erroneous Impression made
concerning the attitude assumed by this
city toward the work of the State Immi-
grafton convention. The Waco Exam
iner In its issue OF the 3rd inst, referring
10 San Antonio and the southwestern
convention treats the matter most fair
ly. 1t may be well for some San An
tonisns to hear what is said OF this mat
ter in other sections OF the state, and
The LIGHT places before its readers the
following editorial utteraGCes Of the
Waco Examiner:
Whether it be the wisest policy for
San Antonio or not, her prompt action
and vigorous movement In her own be-
half, must be Rpplauded. Ii will be
seen that she does not propose TO ignore
the state immigration organization al
together Her senatorial district will
keep Its place In the organization, to
reap all the advantages that may accrue
from such association. In addition TO
this, and Independent OF the state move
menI, she calls II conyentiOn OF south
west Texas, to meet today TO organize
specially for the promotion OF south vest
ern Interests. While 1t occurs to the
Examiner that the objects Of this
special organization might be attained
under and In harmony with the state
organization, by the close alliance ard
cooperation Of southwestern senatorial
districts, still there can be- 10 unfriendly
objection to the superpOsed OrganlzG-
ton. There Is no denying the fact that
San Antonio and southwestern Texas
have vast and peculiar interests to sub
serve, and 1t Ia not strange that their
wealth, intelligence and enterprise
should desire local potent agencies, I'M
hampered by extraneOus influence and
mixed authority, to develop, foster and
build those interests. There need be no
conflict between the general and special
organizations, under the plan foresha.
dowed in the circular published else-
where, nor is 1t doubted that the several
senatorial districts in the southwest viii |
do their whole duty as members OF the |
former.
1t will DO our people good and not |
harm If they will pay heed to the sug- |
gestions above expressed. The Exam
liner has treated this subject and this
city fairly In this thing and The LIGHT |
desires to heartily express its Obliga-
tions for treatment so greatly 10 con-
trast with much that has been said by |
other state journals on this matter.
