THE ALAMO.
In last Sunday’s Houston Post
Feb. 17, was an article on “Parking
Hugo-Scluneltzer’s Property” for
the benefit of a million dollar hotel
to be raised on the site of it. his
article is misleading in several re-
spects. In the first place, it cre-
ates the impression that the major-
ity of the. Daughters of the Repub-
lic of Texas are in favor of the
plan, while the fact is that the ma-
jority of them know nothing about
it at the time of the writing.
The eecutive committee of the
Daughters of the Republic of Tex-
as do, by no means, voifie the senti-
ments of the members./7 (There has
been no meeting of/the executive
committee, though / two or three
members have expressed individual
opinions.—Ed.) /The rest of Texas
will probably reuse their voice in
protest, as well/as the Daughters
of the Republi/e of Texas, for what
is it to them/ whether or not San
Antonio has/a half million hotel ?
The hot/l will confer no honor
on Texas/the Alamo does. The half
—^tk®¥hTaoll^ hotel will not even
be a benefit i^jSan Antonio, because
a modern, grand hotel is the resort
of the very rich, only t and their
money will go to the St Louis own-
ers who will get their supplies from
that place. There will be no great-
er conflux of visitors to San Anto-
nio on account of the half million
dollar hotel. Those that come will
be accommodated by the smaller
hotels and the San Antonio people
will reap the benefit.
That the Hugo and Schmeltzer
building is as sacred to the memory
of our victimized heroes as the
chapel, Which the syndicate will al-
low to remain, has been conclusive-
ly proven by the former State his-
torian of the Daughters of the Re-
public of Texas, in the Post of the
18th of February from authenti-
cated authors or rather liitorians.
It must be acknowledged that the
Hugo and Schmeltzer building is
an eye-sore daubed over with un-
sightly advertisements, even “flar-
ing circus or theatrical posters” de-
basing these sacred walls of old
with the vulgarities of the new
era, But, in time, this will be
changed, the Daughters of the Re-
public of Texas intend to convert
the building into a fine museum for
the pleasure and instruction of the
sight-seeing public.
We really do not need St. Louis
to beautify our Texas towns1. We
knaw well their laudable intention
is to make the almighty dollar.

at the upper story of a small gro-

when you want milk on Sunday

The trouble with Senator La-
Follette is that he introduces such
good bills the senators are afraid
lo punish him by voting against
them.

Bailey says he will resign from
the senate if any of the charges
against him are sustained. The
anchor to windward is that the
Legislature which has just re-
elected him is being asked to do the
sustaining.

“ What will Paradise be compar-

Two boys decided that they
would “see the world,” as they put
it, and left home with very little
money. They spen what they had
for a ticket, and were in a quan-
dary what to do for something to
eat. ,
A,s they were walking along the
street they spied a very poor cat.
The older of the boys, about fif-
teen years of age, picked up the
cat went up to the back door of a
large house and knocked. A lady
came to the door and asked what
was wanted.
“Lady,” he replied, “we areboys
away from home and without mon-
ey, but we are too proud to beg, so
if you will kindly give us some salt
we will eat this cat.”

THE GOVERNMENT AND
COAL LANDS.
President Roosevelt recommended,
that coal lands be withdrawn from
entry or sale and be leased for de-
velopment. This is an important
matter, in view of the fact that
millions of acres of lands in the
west, where the future coal supply
of the country lies, have been swal-
lowed up by individuals and cor-
porations, with no reasonable right,
to them. Coal belongs to the
people. It should be held in trust
for them. The policy that Presi-
dent Roosevelt recommends should
have been put into effect fifty
years ago. Had such been done,
today the revenues in the way of
royalties to the government would
have been tremendous, and no-
monopolies, with corresponding
swollen fortunes and conditions of
labor that are a shdme to a civilized
people.
France is still merry about, the/
Caruso incidents but refrains from
indulging in any humorous flings
at the Panama canal.
