SUNDAY SHORT SNAPS.

SUNDAY SHORT SNAPS.
Mayor Callaghan is now crowned the
king of entertainers.
Let's have no more monkey shows
until we get the Katy.
When the drill is all over then you
will hear from the kickers.
Mr.. Gossipper and Snappers can now
enjoy the baseball sport again, the drill
is over
Some of our great militia officers can
ride platform, better than fine, spir-
tied horse.
Many healthy reforms are brought
about by the kickers who kick at the
right time.
Lets all pray that the big drill will
not wind up like the Stordming of the
of the Alamo.
WnaI the newspapers HLahS Ous "
a big drill" wouldn't make an old
setting hen fat.
The drill is over and the merchants
can again announce their great sum-
mer closing out bargain sales.
If you will put a little target shoot
ing in the tactics, the San Antonio
Zouaves would be strictly in it.
Newspapers have some rights that a
few swell heads have failed to discov-
er. But they have them just the same.
An independent newspaper will per-
form its duty to the public and will as
sert its rights without fear or favor
from bulldozers.
The Light has been very generally
asked: Did the drill association offer
the $3.50 prize for the best decorated
building or the best electrical dis
play"
The big drill at least overshadowed
the battle of "Sin Killer VS.. Satan ?'the
past week. Satan rather scored the
best.
Let's get the Katy" to run into San
Antonio, before we think Of ever hold
ing a fair, or any other kind of a big
show again.
1t is easier to kick than to per
FORM sometimes. But the great
American citizen will kick. when he
thinks he has a right to kick.
Don't exhibit the loose screws in your
head by trying to bulldoze a newspa-
per. It's long lane with no turn and
the newspaper may play even some
day.
San Antonio should tackle no more
Interstate schemes until we get a pos
tive guarantee that our railroad COM
panies are "in the game, We must
have the Katy.
The NJ. K. & T. Railroad company
will haul more people to Galveston for
a one days fish chowder than all our
railroads did to a weeks Interstate
drill. We need the Katy.
The regular U. S. soldiers in Camp
Culberson were the best patrons of the
newspapers. The Light sold to them
during the past week 10 copies to one
sold to the militia.
The liberality and push displayed by
the officials of the Arkansas Pass rail-
way in connection with the Interstate
drill, should be appreciated by recipro-
Gated by our business men.
San Antonio with the most abundant
supply of the finest artesian water of
most any city in America and ice al
most as cheap as picking it up on the
peaks of Iceland, it doesn't look right
to be compelled to buy a bag Of pea
nuts to get cup of free? ice water"
At low rate of ten cents a line the
Lights contribution to the Interstate
drill has been more than one thousand
dollars. The newspaper is a free horse
that d. h. love to take advantage of.
Politicians sometimes spend their
money on newspaper organs, when
they think there is a chance for an Of
flee in sight, and it's a rare thing to
find a business house that patronizes
a newspaper on patriotic motives, 9TH
er than self agrandizemenI. The char
ity part of the trade nearly always
comes from the newspaper side.
