EXTENDING THE CITY
LIMITS
The extension of the City of
San Marcos is the theme today;
committees being appointed nnd
the question agitated more or
less. The editor of the Times-
Herald is in favor of the
extension of the city limits
whenever and wherever feasible,
and the inhabitants are willing
The serious drawback is the
Utility Company, Whre no
Utility advantages can be pro-
cured, it is the acme of absudity
to ask a property owner to “par-
take of the Municipal” limit—^-
for that “Limit” is limited to be
even considered seriously. And
were creditably informed that no
power on earth can compel the
Water Company to furnish
water beyond the limits of what
was the city when the present
franchise was ratified . That
being the case, wherein is
the sense in clamoring for an
extension of the city limits.
Without the guarantee of water
and fire protection, there is
nothing to be gained except an
“empty honor.” Otherwise, the
proposition is laudable. The
battle cry is, make this a bigger
and better city, and use every
means within our power and
province to this end.

Does Prohibition Foster

Cardinal Gsbbons answers that

Similar opinions have been pub-
licly and privately voiced by
thousands of other men, high in
the councils of nation, state and
c lurch whohave the good of their
fellow men sincerely at heart.
these men are clear thinkers,
their vision is unclouded by pre-
judice. They foresee that prohi-
bition does more than strike at
the personal liberty of the people,
they recognize it as a menace to
of our institutions.
W hat Cardinal Gibbons says
about prohibition in large cities
is equally true of smaller cities I
and towns and of states. But the ®
ill effects of prohibition are more
tar reaching than its encourage-
ment of law violations.
If Encourages Drunkenness?
It drives out by law a beverage
which, in many respects, is the
most wholesome, beneficial, and
desirable the world has ever
known —the harmless drink of a
temperate people the world k
over -beer _ It compels the man 1
who will drink to ship into his
community—ostensibly for his
own use but quite as frequently
or others as well—the concen-
trated stimulants which are easily |
hidden and can stealthily be dis-
posed of and a small quantity of
which produces drunkenness.
. No, prohibition does nof prohib-
it. It never has and never wiil.
It cannot And the foregoing
statement of facts furnishes just
one of the many reasons why pro-
hibition does not foster true tem-
perance. —Paid Advertisement A
