An 1881 notice from The San Antonio Light and Gazette describes the paper as the exclusive leased wire day report of the Associated Press and records post office entry as second-class matter.
The San Antonio Light reported total August 1913 circulation of 606 248 with an evening daily average of 19 211 copies and Sunday 1 352 copies. Net paid daily averages were 17 854 for evening and 19 708 for Sunday. Certifications by advertising associations and agencies supported by N W Ayer & Son.
The governor names W. F. Ezell to the Seventy third District Court succeeding R. H. Ward and praises his legal skill and character. Linden is named District Attorney succeeding Clinton G. Brown and S G Tayloe becomes forty fifth district judge. Citizens of San Antonio and Bexar county approve all three selections as strong, reliable appointments.
The author warns that the Republican backed Fess amendment keeping legal money at parity and preserving the gold standard in the administration currency bill jeopardizes the Democrats and public confidence. The piece likens the move to steering into treacherous waters and cites past lessons from bi metals and fixed values as proof money should adjust rather than be arbitrarily fixed.
The discussion critiques fiat money and currency reform proposals, arguing gold standards and government Decree cannot fix value. It cites Continental currency, Confederate money, and bonds, warns against AR currency measures, and notes Texas versus Sanchez legal implications as a diplomatic point in US Mexico relations.
The article discusses Felipe Sanchez, an alleged smuggler tied to Deputy Sheriff Ortiz’s murder, held by Mexican Constitutionalists in Piedras Negras. Texas seeks his extradition to join the Pearsall murder trials, but U.S. extradition hinges on recognizing Mexico's government. Texas has no authority to compel cross border action. Colquitt may request via Gambriel Cassada, yet any return would not bind the United States.
A column humorously critiques seasonal hat rules in temperate cities. It contrasts straw hat bans with climate variations, notes local April wear, October knells, and December 75 degree questions, and jokes about fashion driving commerce and the fad of fur coats by winter.
John Burns MP argues in a recent address that the world’s great public health codes originate with English speaking peoples who are the world’s colonizers and modern Romans. He praises healthy parents and noble breeding, urges plain living, and notes high wages do not reduce child mortality while English farm laborers show lower death rates despite low wages.
A Sherman Democrat note laments the bootjack as a once vital household tool in late night escapes and playful mischief. It recalls its use passing from bedroom to fence and, second only to a mother’s slipper, its role with a child.
The article argues that a coal tax burden falls on U S buyers due to mine owners refusal to pay in eastern Pennsylvania prompting calls for congressional scrutiny of mine owner and railroad relations. It links fuel monopoly to broader policy shifts including Alaska mineral land issues and western coal land rulings.
The Senate focuses on the agricultural tariff schedule, pages 65 to 64 of the bill, as 277 pages total, with potential final-vote timing influenced by mounting wrangling. Lawmakers eye factors to gauge dates, while tiring of the tariff battle grows evident alongside business concerns about foreign competition.
A prominent New York designer completes a bridge and afternoon costume for an autumn society bride. Silk poplin forms the simple drapery lines creating a new figure effect with a tiny slash at the feet. A bolero opens over a vest and lower sleeves of batiste machine embroidery imitating handwork. Button strap sandals finish the look.
The remarks describe senators’ fatigue and patience during a lengthy legislative push. They note human limits and hint at the bill’s final passage date, suggesting the end may come once members can endure the strain.
