POLITICAL SCRAPS.
By a Demoeratic Contribul

1t is about time that DR.. Graves, Berg
StrOm. Epson and Others make show,
since Hogg's star seems to go down, by
the efforts of Captain Schramm and his
friends.
Since when has BergStrom concluded to
sell Hogg out? 1t is hardly two years
since he sold out to Hogg.
What! is Upson democrat? Yes for
high protection, centralized government
and Office only.
Why is Col. Wright, Schramm and
others not on the committee to receive
Clark? They have delegated this part of
the work to those who need polishing up
as democrats, and they have eagerly
graSped the opportunity, since Hogg
seems to be dead Hogg.
1t is but right that those who fail in
patriotism should open their purses in or
der to set themselves right with the par
ty and pay the expenses of showing that
hereafter they mean to be good children.
The Clark club is glad to see Epson and
others take a hand in trying to honor
they have openly and boldly come out and
showed colors. Is it because Schramm
| ard others set the example?
There is more joy in heaven over the
return of one sinner to grace, than 90
| righteous. This Will be applicable to num-
bers Of those who make efforts to show
| Clark that they mean to do better here
after.
Why does Callaghan not appear on the
committee to receive Clark, since all of
his lieutenants and employees figure so
cons icuously now? Is he the only one
| who means to make Hogg our next Gov
| ernor, or has he only loaned his subjects
| to the Clark reception for blind?
1t was well that the originaters OF the
Clark reception committee held their
meetings with closed doors. as otherwise
| the democratic party of BeXar county
might have caught on to the scheme
which they were working to play for on
top and Office.

Refused to Pay Double Fare.

Last night, Mr.. Tuttle, of the Silver
King Saloon, got on Lakeview car on
Military Plaza and rode across that
plaza when the conductor asked for his
fare; Mr. 7. gave him five cents, but the
conductor asked for double fare. claiming

the deficient nickle was paid. The car
was delayed some ten minutes. and

fare, that did not grant the street car
man right to violate an ordinance bv

SCATTERING REMARKS.

Some of the old ring are trying to fall
into the Clark column.
Col. James P. Newcomb is doing good
work out on his farm and is in no way
mixed up with the local scramble between
the Hogg and Clark factions of the de-
mOcracy.
The feder al officials in Texas are the
poorest patrons of republican newspapers.
The LIGHT gets Its suppOLt from the bust
ness men and the common people, regard
less of politics.
Although the LIGHT is the only recog-
niZed daily republican paper in Texas,
the patronage received from federal Of
fcials holding fat offices, would not fatten
a sick chicken.
The LIGHT is republican because it be
lieveS in the principles taught by the
great republican party, but not for re-
ward, or any expected reward. nor any
patronage ever given toit by federal Office
holders,
The U. S. marshal's Office and other
federal officers in West Texas give out
many hundred dollars year, hut the
LIGHT, the only republican paper. does
not get a dollars worth Of their patronage
The LIGHT is not republican for repub-
lican Doodle, because the patronage re.
ceived from republicans for Office only
during the past twelve years, would not
meet its pay roll for one week.
The newspaper that starts out with a
view to pull the leg of office holders, on
rho ground that it is democratic or re-
publican. is generally short lived and
full Of trouble.
The patronage of live merchant like
L. WOIfSOn. JOSke Brothers. etc. builds
up newspapers and cities and is worth
more than a whole political party.
1t shows a narrow mind and selfish ma
ture when a man withbOldS his patronage
from any particular newspaper because
he may differ from its opinions. He only
bites off his nose TO spite his face
Some narrow minded people think with
ten dollar advertisement they ought be
able TO buy the whole newspaper. In
other words. their souls are so small. they
want $500 worth of putting for their ten
dollars.

mence to give out with no means OF
getting more for some time the men
are often put on half rations, given
but half the regular allowance, and
sometimes even on quarter rations
and if they go on until the food gives
out, they 60 on no rations. at all. 1t Is
now but seldom that the United
states soldier is ever out of food, no
matter in what part of the country he
may be in.
In barracks at the different posts
the soldiers live q great deal better
than would appear from the Limited
amount of food issued to him by the
government. They generally have q
large garden which furnishes them
vegetables. This garden is kept up
with part of the company fund, which
is money subscribed monthly by the
men, generally 81 or $3.50 per month
and the receipts of the company's
pool and billiard table, and at some
posts, Fort Sam Houston for instance,
Q considerable amount of compsny's
fund is derived from the post canteen
or exchanges. Thus with their
rations, funds and what they SUBJ
scribe themselves, the enlisted men
fare very we'll, though in some
companies very poor tables are.set. 1t
is for this last reason that many en-
listed men favor the Idea of CONSOLE
dated mess, while others are against
it. Those who belong to companies
which set poor tables favor the idea
In hopes of getting better food. While
those who have large company funds
and whose every meal would be
feast to their less fortunate comrades,
are against the consolidated mess as
they believe that such an institution
would stop the company fund affair
and that the meals would not be so
well cooked, clean and so good as
those which they have already. II all
enlisted men would subscribe enough
to their company fund and put good
cook in the kitchen there would be
very few consolidated mess halls in
the army.
