What the People are Saying


A pamphlet publication of 1913
pages entitled "The City of San An
TONIC" published in st. Louis by
Geo. w. Englehardt & Co, deserves
some notice, on account Of its con-
tents.
It is one of the advertising fakes
that invariably catches our leading
business men, who are anxious to ad.
This pamphlet, has "write-ups" Of
all our institutions and public enter
prises, besides biographies of our
great citizens; 1t has all the old cuts
and illustrations that have done SER
vice in all the special editions and
holiday editions of our local papers:
but it has extensive biographies and
cuts of business firms and houses
that fail to show any great liberslity
towards the local press.
Our real estate men, usually keen
fellows, have all been taken in. The
best joke Is, that outside the number
of copies supplied each advertiser, the
publication has no circulation.
4
1t must be, for instance, q gre.
qualification for Elmendorf & Co. to
read over their page write-up and bi-
ography, and the cut of their new
store, even If 1t did cost more than
they pay any local paper for a years.
advertisements
San Antonio has some creditable
advertising mediums, without includ-
ing the daily press; for instance "The
Texas Stockman and Farmer" q
publication that reaches large per
cent of the agriculturists and stock
men of Southwest Texas. Yet such
home enterprises can't catch some of
the leading advertisers in the st.
Louis advertising fake.
But the cream of this joke is that 1t
caught our absent Mayor for
q biography: Bryan Gala
laghan, the mayor of San Antonio at
present, is now serving his fourth
term in office He Is q native of the
o uO5OOhoahO Oh phO
side, of one of the original Canary
Island settlers, mentioned on page IL,
q lawyer by profession, and pro-
gressive man. He is a graduate of
the law department of the University
of Virginia, and also of the Lyceum of
Montpelier, France. AS an official,
however, devoted to the discharge of
his duties, he has but little time to
give to general practice. Mr.. Callaghan
mas been an alderman of the city and
also its recorder. 1t was he who, as
executive officer of the city, placed
San Antonio's five per cent twenty
and thirty year bonds at q premium of
eleven and three quarters cents, a
credit higher than that of any city Of
the entire SOUTH"
For this puff there was, or is, to be
paid out of the city treasury SIS;
charged we suppose, to the contingent
fund. But the information is worth
that much to the people of San Anto-
Mo, it is such good news to hear of
that fine premium on our five per
cent bonds" and then to be informed
that our mayor is so devoted to the
discharge of his duties, he has but
little time to give to general prac-
trice," when we know, or have been
informed by the Express, that he Is

The first shock was succeeded by
another settling, which was more vio-

ment may occur at any moment.

MR.. ROBINSON would have shown
good taste and sound judgment if he
had not thrust himself so prominently
forward at the executive committees
meeting and had permitted another to
offer the resolution which so stultifed
his own previous conduct.-Mjners'
Journal.
The definition of the above editorial
is that Robinson should have remained
silent under the charges and should
have allowed the mushroom" club
faSirs to complete their dirty work by
presenting resolution condemning
him for that Of which he was not
guilty. Mr.. Robinson would have
been very foolish had he not taken the
stand he did before the Executive
Committee. He unmasked his accusers
and proved himself innocent with one
blow When the Journal attempts to
show that Robinson had no right to
defend himself it shows its ears.
