Walter Hopeon, a San Antonio youth labeled a “bad boy,” drifts through a troubled life. Orphaned, shuffled between homes and institutions, he escapes repeatedly, chasing freedom and band music along the river. Humane agents and reform attempts fail, ending with Walter roaming Alamo Plaza, emblematic of a larger issue of lacking care for restless youths.
San Antonio Advocates urge building an industrial home for boys and girls of tender years to steer them toward productive work. They warn without such a shelter many unprotected youths may drift into vice and crime, risking future prison costs to taxpayers.
Business Men's club of San Antonio 36 weighs securing the national GAR convention next year. Key questions: can the city raise a substantial fund and can it house and feed 100 000 to 150 000 visitors. Past conventions show funds of 50 100 or more and cities profited financially.
The piece argues there are many Americans fit to be president beyond Roosevelt and Bryan. It notes every state could present at least one candidate per party, totaling forty-six Republicans and forty democrats, and urges parties to encourage favored candidates to broaden choice.
A Washington Post portrait portrays Senator Charles A Culberson of Texas as cautious and reticent yet accessible to reporters. He rarely grants interviews and dictates when he does, then revises before publication. The piece notes his tense relation with Roosevelt and his status among colleagues, contrasted with poetic inserts about wanderers and home.

A New Luxury for the President describes a marble entry and opulent private room for the U.S. president at Washington’s railroad station.
The text surveys diverse topics from pensions for native officials and a university headmaster’s resignation album to Chinese gold mines restored by Russia and marriage markets in Kamyshin.
