For the past two years the style of
athletics put up by Gony has been of
such \ quality to make it one of the

her record we will begin with the fall
cf 1910. In that year in football she
Won every high school game she play
ed, and lost only one game and that to
the strong Coburn Classical team. In
the winter of 1910 and 1911, in basket

Morse at Bath for the championship OF

In the baseball season of 1911 she won
the majority of her games winning one

the third. In the next fall in football
she won the Perley cup easily. winning
her final game with Gardiner on
Thanksgiving Day by a score of 100.
She had a fair record in basketball in
the season of 1911-19t2.
Now let us turn to the present base

SAN ANTONIO

San Antonio, one of the most in

try, is located in southern Texas, but
has a Mexican flavor so distinct that
1t can be tasted even in the hotel
cooking. 1t is greatly favored by
tourists wro get all of the COMFORTS

of the picturesqueness of Mexico for

San Antonio was an old town be-

celebrated its 2O0th anniversary long
ago, and some of its buildings are
approaching the Tooth anniversary of
their last painting. But for all it's
age, San Antonio has anlbled along
at gait which has kept it jusc ahead
of painting Dallas and feverish Hous-
ton. 1t is the metropolis Of Texas
fact which caused commissions in at
least three Texas towns when the
1910 census figures were announced.
San Antonio is rambling and pic

by beautiful but decrepit missions
built by Spanish priests agout 200
years ago. The city was engaged for
many years in the manufacture of
history and fought for the indepen-
dence of Texas in the thirties with
great valor. In its center stands the
Alamo, little stone mission which
was captured by the Mexicans only
after the last man in the garrison
had been killed, and scattered over
the city are the Alamo hotel the
Alamo barber shop, the Alamo cigar
store and billiard hall, the Alamo

factory, the Alamo buffet, and the

Mr.. wilson said in Pittsburgh, that
some of these small men should be
forcibly secluded, so that they may
have leisure and quiet to think larger
thoughts. This too, was a true word
of the spokesman
The regulation of competition. for
which Mr. Wilson contends. means
that sharp distinction should be
made between two very different
kinds of competition 1t is all right
that private persons should compete
with each other for power to serve
the public; it is all wrong that thev
should compete with each other for
power to tax the public.
Governor Wilson in speaking a Ian
guage familiar to the American peo-
pie when he reminds us that the fluent
and on-going life of democracy de-
ponds upon the ceaseless competition
of all individuals to excel in the serv-
ice of the commonwealth.
1t is not to be inferred from this
principle that vast, highly organized
and efficient business concerns-when
they arise in the natural course of in
dustrial evolution-are to be broken
up into warning fractions. On the
contrary, the true inference is that
such concerns should be treated as if
they We're in practical effect public
institutions,
They should be reorganized on such
basis that their directors and man.
ayers can find increased profit and
personal promotion only in improving
the services they render to the public.
The system of legalized monopoly
proposed by men like Mr.. George w.
Perkins is an offense and peril to
democracy. because it would leave the
gigantic industrial organizations pri
vate in their motive and private in the
method of their operation. They
would have an interest adverse to the
public interest, and they would have a
power that no public power could per.
manently withstand.
