as an outrage to the people Of San
Angelo, Brentwood and interme-
date points. This gentleman is
not alone IN his condemnation Of
the train accommodations There
are numbers of them.
To characterize the service as
ali outrage is putting the matter
into rather strong language but
there is no question but that II
large portion Of the travelling pub
lie feel just that way about the
matter
One can hear similar remarks
almost any day if one will go to
the Santa Fee depot and keep ones
ears open.
The Press has plead with the
people of San Angelo and has
seen to it that its pleadings wer9
heard by the Santa Fe people at
Galveston. 1T believes that no
similar number of miles of rail-
way Ill Texas is paying the divi-
bends as this portion Of the Santa
Fe. 1t believes the Santa F'e
management to be in possession
of these facts aid The Press can
see no business reason to Justify
them in Withholding from the
people of this end of the branch
those accommodations which are
most certainly their due. If
crowded passenger trains, baggage
cars filled to their capacity and
helpers IN the mail car, seven
days out of the week do not pre-
sent argument forceful enough,
what on earth will do?
San Angelo is no longer u vii
lage, fact the Santa Fe people
do not apparently realize, San
Angelo trains bring in and carry
out people bound to and from
points within radius of one hun
dred miles. Her people go to and
from the larger cities, daily. Are
these arguments?
The Santa Fe people will read
this article, but they do not and
will not, realize the condition of
affairs from doing so. No form
of correspondence will convince
them.
The best way is to go see them,
twenty-five strong. Other towns
will join. The question is, will
we do it?

The "0aly" Democrat.

The Press few weeks ago call
ed the attention of it's readers to
the knowingly perpetuated false
hocd of its contemporary, the San
Angelo Standard, wherein it states
that "the Standard is tho only
Democratic newspaper published
in San Angelo"
As long as Editor Murphy was
pulling his wires for political
honors the Press was willing that
ne should have all the advantage
such Misrepresentation could give
him, but now that there are no
more conventions TO re held and
consequently no more delegations
to be named it is time for the
Standard to take that word "only"
out Of that line.
There is no need Of declara
ton Of democratic principles from
The Press. Its thousands of read
ers know that it is soundly demo-
cratic and the public at large is
equally we'll informed on the sub.
Jet,
The Standard, in knowingly
circulating II faIsehood concerning
a contemporary who is gradually
pushing it from its foothold, is
pvidencing a weakness which is
only equalled III imbecile con-
temptibility by the panderlng of
its editor for political place and
the perfect manner in which it
follows its old-time policy of
never taking stand on any pub
lie question except in the event of
its possessing "an axe to grind" "
The Press is perfectly willing
shat the Standard 8 editor should
have his political honors. 1t will
support him whenever he an
nounces for public Office, provided
no better man for the place is Il
candidate, but The Press can not
view with equanimity the Stand
ards effort to wilfully misrepre
sent this paper and will continue
20 denounce such statements fo
what they are until they are cor
rected.
This it is hoped will be suilic
ient on this subject,

San Angeles Carnival.

The news columns of The Press
have told of the preparations be-
ing made for San Angeles fall
carnival. These preparations are
being made at an earlier stage
than in former years and will be
of more thorough nature than
ever before. Good men and hard
workers are on the committees
and in charge of the preparatory
work. The Carnival will be a
greater success than ever before.
Barring roping contests has cut
down the list of attractions bit
perhaps, but the management be-
lieves that in view of the brutal
nature of such exhibitions and of
their detrimental nature to the
stockmen, they have acted wisely.
The Press is on record as agreeing
with them.
To Offset the loss of this attrac-
ton something else must be sub
stituted Some members of the
executive committee and commit
tee on entertainment have suggest
ed game of polo.
Talking to n Press representa-
tive, VIM. Arson, of Coleman, a
polo player and a polo pony
specialist, says that this would
certainly afford an attraction,
novel and extremely entertaining
Mr.. Arson believes that pole
game would not cost as much by
far as a single days roping contest
and IN view of the number Of
roping contests being had in Tex
as towns the Press believes tina
polo game would prove a yer,
worthy attraction.
