whv We Do Not Take Scalps.


If war is unhappily still prevalent
it is at least not war in which every
clan is fighting with its neighbOrs,
and where conquest means slavery or
extirpation. Millions of men are at
peace within the limits of a modern
state, and go about their business
without cutting each others throatS.
When they fight with other nations
they do not enslave nor massacre
their prisoners.
Taking the purely selfish ground, a
Hobbies can prove cOnclusively that
everybody has benefited by the social
compact which substituted peace and
order for the original state Of war.
Is this, then, a reversal Of the old
state of things-a combating of a
''cOsmic proceSs?" l should rather
say that il is a development Of the
tacit alliances, and modification so
far of the direct or internecine con-
fiict. Both were equally implied in
the older conditions, and both still
exist Some races form alliances,
while others are crowded out Of eX-
istence. OF course, IceaSe to do some
things which I should have done be-
fore.
1 don't attack the first man l meet
in the street and take his scalp. The
reason is that | don't expect that he
will take mine, for if l did fear that,
even as civilized being, l should try
to anticipate his intentions. This
merely means that we have hboth
come to see that we have common
interest in keeping the peace. And
this, again, merely means that the
alliance which was always an abso-
lutely necessary condition Of the sur
vival Of the species has now been ex-
tended through a wider area. The
species could not have got on at all
if there had not been so much alli-
ance as is necessary for its reproduc-
tion and for the preservation of its
young for some years Of helplessness
The change is simply that the
small circle which included only the
primitive family or class has extended
so that we can meet members Of the
same race on terms which were previ-
ouSly confined to the minuter group.
We have still TO eXtcrminate and
still TO preserve. The mode Of en-
ploying our energies has changed, but
not the essential nature. The Con-
temporary Review.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

6ALUTATORY.

The ENTERPRISE has changed
hands and the undersigned be-
comes editor-he hopes for the
next ten years.
The mission Of the ENrERPBrsE,
under the new management, will
be to make weekly history of the
doings, growth and progress OF
this. the best and most prosperous
section of the rich Arkansas Valley.
The people of the Rocky Ford
region are justly proud of their nat
ural resources and the marvellous
advance made in 60 short a time.
The columns Of the ENTERPRISE
will be devoted to the further de-
velopment of these advantages, be-
ing an agricultural instead of a po-
litioal paper. This we think will ex-
actly meet the wants of the pro-
gressive and public-spirited people
to whom the ENTERPRISE looks for
that patronage and support which
its merits shall deserve.

main topic. Short talks were made
by Hon. j. H. Crowley, A. J. Gray,
B. w. Bell and Capt. Chas. Rou-

commendable and should be en-
couraged by crowded houses. They
tend to educate our citizens in ma

midnight the southern part of tho city was
shaken by terrific explosion. A dyna-
mite bomb had been fired in front of q
waterfront boarding house, filed with
non-union sailors. The front Of the build
ing was blown to atoms. Six OF the in
mates were horribly mangled, two of them
being instantly killed. The others may
die.
BY whom the bomb was fred Is not def
nitely known, but the owners directly
charge tho deadly deed upon some mem-
bers Of the Seamen's union. Ono of tho
union mon of the name of John Tyrell has

kept by John Curtin. Ii was Curtin's cus-
tom to secure berths for his patrons on
ships employing non-union men. In this
way he incurred the enmity of tho sailors
of tho union. Less than week ago his
place was entered by crowd of union
men led by John Tyrell. Curtin was
threatened and when the men left his
house they told him the house had only
short time TO exist.
Last night all OF the inmates retired rs

explosion occurred, shaking the city for
blocks. The entire front OF the boarding
house was torn away. carrying the front
OF the adjacent structure with IL. Tho
men were thrown from their beds across
tho street. The sidewalk where the ex.
plosion took place was ripped into atoms.
