L
is by no means a simple one. There
are elements in the problem which
make it difficult of solution. 1t is,
perhaps, more difficult in this part of
the county than in any other, be-
the cause population is so heteroge-
neous. In the old New England days
Puritan ideals could be realized b.
cause the people were all of one class.
But our population is composed of re-
representatives. of mt any nationalities and
of various phases of faith. Simple
Justice seems to make it imperative
that the preferences of differing peo-
pie should be recognized. Here in
Ell Paso we havea population compos-
ed of nearly every nationality, aud the
question Is to grant as much liberty
as possible, and at the same time keep
the Christian Sabbath from desecra-
day, Sunday holds it's ground. Wage
earners claim their right to
its enjoyment. The changes
which have been made in
laws have all been along the lines of
greater effectiveness. The chief
perils are found in the exclusive OBJ
servance of the day as one of rest and
pleasure. 1t will perhaps surprise
movement in favor of a better obser-
vance of the day is making distinct
progress on the Continent of Europe.
In Paris even, success is encouraging,
espe cially in the closing of business
houses.
The Deming Headlight says: 1T
has been decided that some time about
May or June next the Rough Riders
will hold their first annual reunion
| at some point in New Mexico, the ex-
act location not having as yet been de-
cided upon. Taking everything into
consideration, what better place than
Deming can be chosen? This town is
easy of access, both from Texas and
Arizona. The ground here is level,
we have the best water in abundance
town in the territory can
handle crowds any better than
Deming can. It ia estimated
that there will be at least 5000 people
in attendance. Colonel Roosevelt has
already stated that he intends to come
and bring all of his friends in the east,
and there will be hundreds, if not
thousands, from other points anxious
to see the Rough Riders IS they ap-
pie of Deming get hustle on them
selves and secure this gathering.
There is no better way in which we
can advertise our town"
The same might apply to Ell Paso and
If the people of this town were awake
to their own interests they would not
permit an opportunity like this to pass
but endeavor to get the Rough Riders
to hold their reunion here.
When G. T. Edgar reported to the
police that he had been feeced in
Juarez of S110 by a confidence man and
two associates officers Immediate
ly suspected that Curley
Sullivan had resumed his old
tricks. In fact the close
resemblance which Wednesday nights
episode bore to Sullivan's latest prank
for which he is now out under bond
Led many to believe that no one but
Curley WAS at the bottom of
lost his money. Edgar left finally finally
for his home at Selma, California, with
out either obtaining his money or
gaining the satisfaction of pointing out
the culpri Is who ieeced him. His de-
scription of the' man who inveigled
him across the river led many
to believe that Curley Sullivan was
the man wanted. but Curley could not
be found although Edgar
was anxious to see him. Edgar in
describing the manner in which he
WAS robbed said that the money was
snstched from his hand and wagered
on the game by his companions.
"During the month of November"
remarked Ike Alderete, district court
clerk, ''my cash income for official SER
vices amounted to S11 As. If had no
credit around town and had to depend
