Will my clown" start a sui
scription for another badge.
There can be no harm in lot Of
officials going fishing, but people
will talk.
The wise merchant is now SOW
ing a liberal supply Of spring ad-
vertising.
Aldern an Hice is still in favor
Of building big market house on
the west side.
The longer the delay the more
scary the taxpayer becomes of vot-
ing for bonds.
It's little mean to be accused Of
waiting for a man to die, SO you
can get his job.
Has anybody been accused of
Hopping and pickering on the alec-
trio plant question.
Our $500 majority mayor should
"call the man to time" who claims
to be "on the inside"
Alderman Joe Beckmann is still
own electric light plant.
A good name in the average So
ciety hop does not stack up as bold
as a dude in good clothes.
The throne is lettering on the
electric light question. The power
behind should brace it up.
It's hard matter for public
man to "flop," without some one
catching on' to the motive.
How big a beef contract does it
take to make fellah flop and
flicker before and electric light?
All the world is not dishonest,
and we believe there are few
honest people left in San Antonio.
An alderman has no special
right to dictate to the fire chief
who he shall appoint as his assist
ants.
Many a good man has been lost,
by not being able to withstand
temptation, and stand firm for the
right.
The suburban taxpayer who gets
no benefits for his taxes, will vote
hard against issuing any more
bonds.
A policeman would get lost in
the suburbs, or die from thirst, as
electric lights and water (?) Is
scarce.
II you want the ladies to know
you have nice stock Of spring
goods for sale, advertise In the
LIGHT.
Election time is fast approach
ing, and the waterworks and sew
erage schemes will have to take a
back seat.
A large majority Of mankind
will sell their souls for present
convenience, and take chances on
the future.
Some of those people who worked
and voted against the school prop
osition may not be forgotten at the
next election.
The people have voted for schools,
now where is the money coming
from. The school houses should
be built at once.
About thirty more votes for the
opposition and the poor children
would still sit on their boxes or
stay out Of school.
We can reduce the charges, but
L. IN he 10
vote million in bonds to build a
| waterwOrks system.
1t is whispered in San Antonio
that one more topper has been Sc
cured, that will knock out the city
electric light scheme.
There are over 1000 property
taxpayers in San Antonio, whose
interests our mayor and aldermen
were elected to represent.
Fill n tramp's belly with good
victuals, dress him up, and his
head will soon swell so big he Is
apt to forget his beneiactor.
Some people are so easily bought
and sold, they will almost break
their necks to get a nibble when
ever dollar is hung in sight.
The confidence of the common
people is worth more to a news
paper, than "the woods full" of
bOodlers and corrupt politicians.
The bad condition of West Hous-
ton street, is not good advertise
ment for strangers who come into
the city via the International rail.
