A San Antonio editorial excerpt reflects on political divisions and alleged cultural influence undermining government aims. It cites General George Washington to criticize how some citizens seek to advance foreign interests over national goals.
The December column notes a Bexar County audit is reasonable and overdue. It recalls a 1938 report urging a general county audit to inform the commissioners court and public, arguing such an audit would expose abuses, waste, and inefficiency and protect honesty in office. The grand jury's mandate now promises an accurate financial view.
A San Antonio note argues there is no way to beat the odds at the track. It cites eleven cents of every wager going to the house and the state, a deduction warned as too steep for even skilled gamblers. Many locals have lost money this meet, with a mindset to recover losses by end of the run, yet mathematics and experience suggest the opposite.
The article defends Admiral Peary against accusations he did not discover the North Pole. It notes his unblemished reputation for honesty, rejects conspiracy theories hatched in England, and asserts Americans will not overstate the issue but will oppose attacks on his memory and achievement in reaching the farthest north and planting the flag.
A reflective essay argues love outgrows romantic fantasies and arrives as a hard, growing process. It contrasts ecstasy with reality, noting love’s jealousy, loneliness, sacrifice, and gradual commitment. Real love unfolds through struggle, mistakes, and deepening mutuality, not endless romance.
A 1834-born resident, dearest to family, dies at his daughter's home near the Ban Jece mission. Born in San Antonio, he left a lasting mark on Flores street and an earlier era’s memory fades with his passing.
The article recalls Sir Lewis Bayly, British naval attache, visiting U S naval forces off New York and later Queenstown in 1912, praising Roosevelt's role and the Anglo American alliance. It notes Bayly’s clashes with U S officials, his reception in Annapolis, and the enduring commemoration of joint naval history, including Queenstown’s command story and mutual respect between nations.
A fragmentary reminiscence surveys The Grove and its social scene featuring Royal Polncia, Stotesbury family figures, Mizner architecture influence in Palm Beach, and changing tastes from grand colonial decor to modern design. It notes Mizners catering and architecture impact amid Florida’s evolving style.
The article recalls remarks by an elderly admiral who urged Britain and the United States to project a peaceful alliance of their five navies. He argued the two nations share ideals, justice, and language, and should act as complementary forces for global peace rather than rivals.
