SAN ANTONIO is making better
business record just now than any
other city in Texas. 1t is way she
has.
You can lie awake nights now and
hear the corn grow. The farmer and
the San Antonio real estate man find
their crops and profits growing night
and day.
THE citizen who cali get away from
business goes occasionally to the east
or to Boerne and returns only to find
more real comfort on the San Antonio
nights than in any other spot in
Texas.
THE early bird catches the worm, it
is true; but it is also the early worm
that lands inside the bird, and it is
not yet determined whether HOgg
plays the role of bird or worm.
DALLAS posing as tue capital of
north Texas at the head of naviga-
tan on the Trinity Is as imposing as
impossible in fact. a mud scOw
with a fOrty-horse-power of propul-
sion could not navigate that stream
at low water
THAT Lower California flibuster-
ing scheme turns out to be something
with which the Americans have
nothing to do. 1t is dodge of John
Bull to gain control Of that country
through mercantile agencies as he
gained control of India through the
old East India company. Either this,
or canard from some sensational
Newspaper correspondent.
If that electric line to the Fair
ground IS not built now, and the Fair
held, it may be years before a line is
run through that section of the city,
and the owners of property who have
not met the propositions of the COM
pany fairly and literally will simply
stand in the way of the advancement
OF their own interests.
THE Waco News, which claims to
be democratic paper and yet lifts
its eyebrows COntemptuOusly at
David B. Hill. utters an unadulter-
ated truth when it says the LIGHT
puts up a vigorous fight against
democracy" For this cause was the
LIGHT born and to this end did it
come into the world, that it might
bear witness to the great truths OF
republicanism.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway, which holds the franchises
Of the Chicago Kansas & Nebraska
road, is asking Congress to transfer
to them the right-of-way granted to
the latter road for line through In
dian Territory. There is no doubt
the transfer will be made and the
Rock Island will push its cOustruc.
tions through the territory and Okla,
homa into Texas. The Rock Island
has been trying to reach San Antonio
for two years, and the way seems tc
( now opening.
