 II am republican and I expect to re- main one; but l am completely in sympa- thy. with the purposes of the Citizens who shall be free from all partisan obliga- tions. Such mayor, if elected 1 shall cer- tainly be. In making appointments it shall be my endeavor to i'll every place with an eye single to the public good The pat ronage of the city shall not be used so far as it Is in the mayors power to prevent it, for the purposes of either of strengthening or weakening one party or another or any faction of party. l shall try to make an administration that will be honest broadminded, efficient and business-ike and considerate of the interests of every cti- zen.

There is no reason why you should
consider yourself entitled TO the best,
any more than there is that you should
be content to put up with the worst.
A healthy sufficiency is better than
hastily grabbed and insecurity held
abundance. 1t is not the multiplied
ton of means that is so much needed
as the division of your desires. How
to be reasonably content with what is
on your own plate is very good rule
at the banquet of life. That does not
prevent you taking more if it comes
your way, neither does it spoil your
dinner If you do not get 1t.
1t is this greedy grasping for more,
dropping the substance while franu-
cally snatching at a shadow that hurts.
1t leads to disappointment. 1t takes

of middle age, the comfort out of de-
clining years. The man who does bus
mess within his powers, holding him
self well in hand. never asking more
than he can safely adventure, satisfied
with a moderate return, regarding his
peace Of mind as part Of his wealth
and his comfort at home as of as much
importance as his success at the store,
that man lives. His family lives with
him. They enjoy their beefsteak bet
ter than their more pretentious neigh
bors do their canvasback. They may
have less gable to their house but more
lawn and larger comfort.
Beloved! The abundance of mans
life consists not in the riches he pos
sesses. 1t is not what man has, but
what he uses that makes him rich. Not
what he holds, but what he enjoys.
The wise sculptor takes his stone and
knocks off what he does not want.
The wise man, the wise woman, these
knock off what they do not want.
Their wisdom lies in knowing what
that is. The man, the woman, the
child, the family, the society, the
church that lives and enjoys and uses
and is reasonably content just within
the margin of their holdings, their
possessings, these are in condition to
enjoy life. Those who live just out
side of that margin are always strain
ing to make both ends meet and are
the victims of their own fool greed.
The millennium will be ushered in
very soon after the bulk of us humans
know how to regulate our living to suit
our convenience, our pOcEetbook, our

We will be looking forward to the
measures and enjoyments that are
waiting for us around the curve.

MENGER HOTEL MEETING.

The meeting held at the Menger no.
tel on Thursday night, in the interests
of the young men of San Antonio, was
truly representative. 1t included more
than a half hundred of the best citi-
zens of the city, when character, bus
mess position, wealth and influence
are considered. The invitation COM
mittee was headed by Col. George
Breckenridge and was in itself guar
antee of the assembly. The objects
proposed in the conference We're such
as to commend the meeting to the
most thoughtful consideration of all
classes. There was no attempt at or
atory. There was an itense earnest
ness and a real feeling at the bottom
of all that was said. The meeting was
happy in the selection of it's presiding
officer, Mr.. Franklin. The avOwed OBJ
ject of the coming together alone
stamped the gathering with interest.
How to advance the interests of young
men, to build up their characters,
their intelligence and thrift and integ-
rity, to appreciate their value as fac
tors in the wealth of the city, prepare
them to take upon their shoulders the
burdens of business, the s chools, the
family, the government of the city and
state and country, these were the con-
siderations of the hour. Some good
practical words were spoken Some
that indicated longing to understand
better the methods for reaching young
men. Some that voiced the growing
concern Of parents for their own grow
ing sons. 1t was a thoughtful meet
ing. That out of it may come a more
interested action on the part of the
business men for their younger assO-
Ciates those whose business charac-
teTs are now forming, is the general
wish. Practical wisdom is the thing
needed. Theories are cheap. There
was more said as to the value and ne
cessity Of the work to be done than as
to the methods of accomplishing it.
Outside of the reference to the Young
Mems Christian Association and its
work there were no practical sugges-
tiOns as to methods. These may come
later. The effect of the work upon the
Y. NJ. c. A. no doubt will be to
quicken it movements and possibly en-
large its work. Outside of this there
is much to be done. Possibly the most
important thing is for business men
themselves, men of established char
aCter in business and in social life, to
take direct and personal interest in
the young men they know, particu-
larry those in their own business hou-
schools. Fatherly care in this direc-
ton counts for much. Personal quail
ity and personal influence are great
things. 1t is as much by example as
by precept that teaching in the ranks
of young men is successfully done
Liberal provisions in the way of night
schools and reading rooms and free
gymnasiums and lectures and music
would be found valuable adjuncts to
all efforts to help young men of San
Antonio. The Menger meeting as a
means to an end, the increasing of the
general interest in the welfare OF our
young men, was a move in the right
direction. 1t needs to be followed by
something that will stick, something
more than words or a spoken impress
sion Of interest in them.
