Its candence Or my lonely hours,
Like healing sent on wings of sleep,
Or dew to the unconscious flowers,

Even while my pulse madly fly;
And in the still unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing by

And leaves me at my mothers knee

No family can afford to do without
music. 1t is luxury and an economy:
an alleviator of sorrow, and a spring
of enjoyment; a protection against
voice, an Indictment to virtue. When
rightly used, its effects, physical, in
%tellectual and moral, are good, very
good and Only good. Make home at
tractive; music affords a means of do
ing this. Contribute kindly feeling
and love. Music will help in this
work. Keep out angry feeling. "Mu-
sic has charms to soothe the savage
breast" Show us the family where
good music is cultivated, where the
parents and children aye accustomed
often to mingle their voices together
in song, and we viii show you one
where peace, harmony and love pre-
vail, and where the great voice have
no abiding place.

AS 10 Prohibition.

In last weeks issue of The Press
there appeared "sermon on tenn
perance" by Rev. j. w. Siler of
the Presbyterian church. This
sermon from the standpoint Of
one in favor Of prohibition is a
masterful effort, a clever presen-
tation Of the evils of intemper.
ance and dIgnified, conservative
talk by a brilliant and polished
minister Of the gospel.
The Press is for those things
which will help San Angelo in her
race for commercial place and
prominence in the material world.
The Press believes that local OPP
tion would hinder rather than
help San Angelo. For that rea-
son The Press does not favor the
movement to make of San Angelo
a prohibition town. For that
reason The Press deplores the
present effort Of many Of San
Angeles best citizens to pull off a
prohibition campaign. The Press
has many other reasons for being
opposed to prohibition, it being
unnecessary, however, to state
them.
The news columns of this paper
are open to both sides of the ques-
ton. Any article of reasonable
length written from either a pro
or anti viewpoint can be used at
regular rates. The Press has al
ways, and proposes in the future
to ever be. impartial III it's news
columns. 1t has always tried to
be fair IN its comments, but is
always to be found on one side or
the other of every public question.
1t gauges its opinions by what it
considers best for San Angelo. 1t
can not see but that prohibition
would be harmful to San Angelo.
For that reason it opposes pro-
hibition.

Letter to VIM. S. Kelly, San Angelo,
Texas.


Dear Sir: You ask how many
square feet gallon will cover.
Depends on condition of building.
There is u great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim Of
lying paints IS 300 square feet,
two coats. It's lie, as u rule.
Devoe covers 30C to 500, our
agents think. We think 300 too
low and 500 too high; though
doubtless they both occur.
How much the other paints
cover is equally doubtful; we
guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another
comparison, Devce is all paint,
strong paint, and full-measure ;
the others in general are, at the
best, diluted, adulterated and
short measure. They cover ac-
cording to body and measure.
You can't paint with clay, lime,
chalk, sand, barytes, water or all
ITO body in them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly,

troversy. There are some papers
in West Texas who refused to

The Press is opposed to pro-
hibition, or local option as called
by some, but the news columns
of the Press are open to commu-
nications from either side of the
proposition.
The Press believes in fair
play" If there is any one who
cares to take issue with any opin-
ion expressed in this paper in an
editorial way, there is no need to
write about it in any other news
paper,--the columns of the Press
are open to all such communica-
tions and they will be published
as freely as any opinion of the
editors.
Being newspaper, the Press
must give It's readers what they
want. There are few people
whose opinions do not coincide
with the opinions of others.
Therefore these communications
are legitimately called news, The

Notable Articles of the Month.

Success for August contains
ones OF the most notable articles
of the month, namely Colorado 3
Civil Contest by Chauncy Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas, in an editorial note
we are told, was born and reared
in Colorado and is fully cognizant
of the conditions existing in that
unlucky commonwealth. From
the manner in which the author
deals with tho subject at hand
one is lead to believe that his
fund of knowledge of the details
of his subject is nothing short of
vast.
He blames both labor and
capital for the existing conditions
labor for allowing it's organiza-
tions to be dominated by u num-
Der of unprlncipled men whose
only object Is self-aggrandizement
and the accumulation of politi.
cal power and wealth, capital for
the extremely low compensation
paid labor aud for the heartless,
cruel demands for long hours.
Labor is taken to task for
winking at lawlessness and CAPT
tai for making the conditions
such that lNwlessness tlourishes,
Both sides, the miners and the
mine owners alike, use exactly
the same means and do exactly
the same things, for exactly the
the same ends, only the names
are different. Neither has any
consideration for the other. Each
side, capital and labor alike, de-
stroys property, each side
tramples the law underfoot
or cunninglv twists it to its
own ends, regardless of right and
wrong, each side commits willfuI
and even careless rder,-ofteu
in private grudge, and each side
condemns the other for doug just
what it does itself Capital suf
fers, and labor sutters,-but more
than all others suffer the people
the state and the nation, in this
stupid quarrel Of greed"
Politics, according to Mr.
Thomas, is having deal to de
with the present trouble, which i
accounted for in the article by
history OF capital and labor il
Colorado up TO the present time
The following extraordinar
language is used.

parker's Speech Of Acceptance.

Hon. Alton B. Parker of New
York, has been officially notified
of his nomination for president
by the Democratic party and has
formally signified his acceptance
of the honor.
Hon. Champ Clark Of Missouri
was the chairman of the notifica-
ton committee and as such made
the notification speech. His was
u brilliant and masterful effort.
Clark is an orator and statesman
az we'll.
Judge Parker has spoken at last.
Ills speech of acceptance has, like
his famous telegram, been one of
the shots heard round the world. 5"
His speech indicates thoughtful
preparation, not that the speaker
might com happy phrases but
that he might Indicate the posi-
ton he occupied on those great
principles which are uppermost in
the minds OF all patriotic Ameri-
cans during this campaign. He
has succeeded we'll IN conveying
his ideas on these subjects to the
country.
Judge Parker is quiet but
masterful speaker, dignified and
serene. He has confidence in the
patriotism of the American peo-
pie, in the great principles of the
party of which he is the newly
chosen leader, and in his own
ability to cope with any emergen-
cy which might arize for his con-
sideration as the chief executive
of the people.
Judge Parker believes that q
president should not be a candi-
date for reelection because as q
candidate president in admins
tering the affairs of his office
oftentimes takes advantage of
certain predicaments and crises to
further his own personal and po-
litical desires. For this reason
and because of his high regard for
the Office for which he is the Dem
ocratic candidate Judge Parker
declines TO seek or accept the
nomination for second term.
Throughout it all, from the
time he was first spoken of up to
the St. Louis convention, when
the famous telegram was sent and
| including his speech of accept
ance, emphasizing his positive
declination to consider q second
term candidacy, Judge Parker's
public actions have been manly

Few people, if any, take any
stock in a newspapers "speil"

seems to be some misunderstand-

newspaper, so the Press deems it

purpose of carrying to its readers

no attempt to circulate outside of
