7. B. JOHNSON
For City Treasurer

Mr.. Thomas B. Johnson of the San
Antonio Light is candidate for city
treasurer. Mr.. Johnson is not on any
of the so-called tickets, but runs in the
independent column.
The office of the city treasurer has
been in the present treasurer's hands
for the past twelve years, and located
in the San Antonio National bank, an
institution that controls the water
works and has dictated, by its power
over the finances of the city, the policy
of the city during all Of the Gala
CHAN reign. Mr.. Herff is not only a
servant of the city but he is the SER
want of the National bank. 1t has
been given out that only a banker or
a cashier of a bank can be treasurer,
because Mr.. Herff seems to have filed
a mortgage on the Office. but we had
treasurers before his time who were
not bankers, who were efficient, hon
est men-It is about time Mr.. Herff
was relieved of the cares of the city
treasury. Twelve years is quite long
enough for treasurer to hold Office,
and 1t would be a good law that would
make a treasurer incompetent to hold
office two terms consecutively;not on
ly should the money be counted but
the duties of the Office turned over to
fresh, clean hands, every two years. No
doubt Mr.. Herff would gladly resign
after so long term, but the bank
won't have it. He naturally runs on
the Callashan ticket-the old Brock
enridge firm.
Mr.. Johnson's other opponents are
excellent gentlemen who have been
put on their respective tickets as make
weights.
OF Mr.. Johnson it can be said that
he is a business man of marked abili-
ty; that his newspaper success,in serv-
ing the people valuable evening pa
per, has placed him in the front rank
of our enterprising citizens; he is deep
ly interested in the welfare of the city;
has lived here for eighteen years and
never held any public position; his pa
per has always been on the side of lib
eral ideas. and for the good of the city.
Mr.. johnson is an early bird at his
business house, generally before half
the business men of the city are out
of bed-when elected, which he evil
IDENTIFY will be, he will make the people
a faithful public servant-From the
National Liquor Dealer.

are none capable of giving more real
satisfaction than the single hollyhoclt
that used to grow against the garden
wall or fence by the side of grandmoth-
er's house. The seedsmen have had a
craze for making single flowers double,
and for me, at least, they have very
nearly ruined some of the old-time
beautiful blossoms. They have doubled
the beautiful blossoms of the single
hollyhock and made peony of it, much
to my distress. This is kind of i'm
provement that hasn't at all improved,
and it is time to call halt to this tam
pering with our single flowers. Many
single blossoms are much more attract
i've than they could possibly be doubled,
and it is a crime against flower lovers
to deprive us of the single blooms.
Give us the old-time faverites and
give them to us unchanged from their
old-time form and color. Particular
ly is this to be insisted on in the case Of
the old-time single hollyhock, for its
beauty was Of sort to make its dis
appearance little short of q calamity.

a Plea for the Hollyhock and Other old
Fashioned Blossoms.
There are fashions in flowers as well
as elsewhere, and though one may de-
spise the mere taking up of certain
flowers, because it is ''the thing" there
is still some satisfaction in finding
ones old-time favorites, neglected in
these later days, being brought to the
front and given the appreciation that
they honestly deserve, because what
starts in a within of fashion may end in
the genuine love for the old-fashioned
blossoms, and their continued cultiva-
ton long after "the fashion" has be-
slowed its attention upon some other
fad. Some of the old-time favorite
flowers have come back to popularity,

GAS COMPANY WANTS A CHANGE
TOO.

During the Callaghan administration
the city paid the San Antonio Gas
company so cents per night for each
arc light.
The present administration reduced
this rate IS cents per night, and as
there are 200 arc lights used this is a
saving of $50 per day, or nearly s15,-
900 a year.
OF course this corporation wants a
change.

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE.

During Mr.. Callaghan's administra-
ton, the annual budget for printing
and advertising amounted to s1s.SOO,
while that Of the present administra-
ton amounts to less than $4,000. diff
ference Of more than $1,000. This Is
why some others want change.
The Daily Lights annual bill for
advertising only amounts to about$50O

WHO GETS THE MONEY.

The total general fund floating in
debtedness to date is less than $780,
ono 90; about one-half Of this amount is
due the San Antonio Waterworks COM
pany and San Antonio Gas company
and is not payable until June next.
This will show that II only one-sixth
of the back taxes were collected the
city could pay up In full.
