Passenger Agent Turner Likes Shell

The opening of the new Sheldon
hotel means more to FL Paso than the
casual observer would think" said f
=. Turner general passenger agent of
the Texas n Pacific railroad last night
Heretofore people stopping here en-
route To California had poor accommo-
dations and were always glad to get
out OF the city.
The new Sheldon will remedy this
state of affairs and many who have
beer going through this city hereto
fore will row stop over and spend sew
eral days here.
Il am going to make the Sheldon an
important feature in the next number
~ the Texas * Pacific quarterly and
advertise IL more extensively than any
other point of interest in FL Paso. IL
is good thing for our road and we
will try to make it a good thing for the
owners"
Mr.. Turner holds 10 the policy that
anything that is good for any one else
Is Il gcod thing for him and this is
probably the secret of his success. He
is always ready TO help every part of
his road that shows any disposition to
hclp itself and IL has made his name
famous over the entire country.

they are mistaken. greatly AS has
been intimated for some time. the cam

are that the old man is going to have
one of the hardest runs for his mon

ty of getting decent administration

To do this we need men in Office. not

need honest. vigorous administrators

some new way to avoid doing their

We need general cleaning up. and

a great city. We need progress. not
mossbackism. We need to break away
from the domination of the saloons. the
gamblers. the bawdy houses. and give
the decent people a show.
All this we have chance to do. such
as has not been presented to the peo-
pie of FL Paso for years. IL will need
the hardest kind of work, and the most
cordial cooperation among all the
forces of the city that are opposed to
the present incompetent gang that con-
trolls the majority of the people by
brazen fraud and political tactics that
are thoroughly disreputable and dis

In the - rnsr' SCI.
Another of society's most recent. and
most dangerous evils arises. from the
introduction OF petty gambling at
cards chiefly at bridge whist. Ii is
believed that many of the good-hearted
well-meaninG matrons. in their anxiety
to entertain. do not realize what a de-
grading. vicious habit they are bring
ing into their homes. Gambling is
gambling. no matter who hopes to be
the winner. and the human being has
not yet been born who can gamble and
not suffer some injury. Nor has there
ever been a speaker or writer who
could frame language that would fully
picture to the human mind the treach-
erous meanness OF gambling. To give
only an outline of its evil effect on
the society OF France and England
within the past hundred years would
occupy volumes. II has broken up some
of society's best family estates. and
wrecked many families of noble line
age. II has driven young men with
an Oxford or Cambridge education to
he profisates and criminals. And we
have no reason TO suppose that society
in this country is more able to resist
its insidious influence. No mon who
makes few successful winnings ever
fOrgets the experience. and even il he
does not follow il up for the time be-
ing. III ever ne gets into reduced cir
cumStances. the cards are the first
thing to which he will fly. The effects
and results of society's petty gambling

GREAT REL UBLlCAN GAINS 10
CAlLY.

The local election returns disclose
some interesting facts with regard to
the changing population and political
complexion OF this city and county. II
appears that. as has long been sur
missed tine republican vote is steadily
being increased. while the democratic
is nearly stationary.
In 1895 the total democratic vote for
Savers in the county was 22I5; in 1900
il was 26i9. gain OF only 37i votes.
or about IL per cent.
In 1898 Castillo for district clerk on
the republican ticket received go
votes: in 1900 he received 962. In 1898
the vote for WEIGH as representative
was 697. he running ahead of the re
publican ticket: in 1900 Mckinley. for
president. who also ran ahead OF his
ticket received 1908 votes.
The percentage of gain in the first
case is % per cent; the percentage of
gain in the second case is "A per cent.
The average gain is thus nearly 80 per
cent in the republican vote as compar-
ed with an increase of Ii per cent in
the democratic vote.

THE FIRST THING.

IL is highly gratifying To hear gen
eraI passenger agent Turner of the
Texas and Pacific talk so encourage
ingIy about FL Paso and its future.
We of FL Paso are all pretty sure that
the city is going to- be a great one. but
that is because we feel confident that
the railroads will do their parts in
making it so. II is well TO have the
definite assurance. nevertheless. from
one in authority
The railroads have made FL Paso.
and Ell Paso has done a great deal TO
help build up the railroads. Without
the railroads FL Paso would still be a
tiny stage station and trading post on
the desert. as she was twenty years
ago. Now We take il quite coolly when
we are told that this city is to become
a second Denver.
IT, is true that railroads are not Who'll
ly philanthropic concerns. They have
other ends in view besides making a
second Denver out of Ell Paso. They
are looking out for themselves first.
for that is corporation nature. as IL is
human nature. and the first law of
trade. But in working for themselves
the railroads cannot afford to assume
a position of antagonism towards the
men and the cities that do business
with them. When any city shows
disposition To help itself by the actual
expenditure of money and labor. it is
pretty safe to- predict that the rail-
roads. without exception. will do their
part to help.
II is absurd to- expect any railroad TO
depart from its established rules and
practice or cut its rates. for the sake
of making any individual or set of in
dividuaIs rich. unless the railroad could
be assured OF the great benefit that
would accrue to il through such de-
parture But when the railroads can
be shown where any change would
benefit themselves in connection with
an entire community. they will be
ready to discuss such change.
The first thing that is necessary il
FL Paso is going to become a second
Denver is for our people to get to-
gether and work for the town as the
people of Jenver worked in the early
days. There should he perfect coop
GRAFTON in all things that make for bet
terment Petty differences should be
laid aside in the contemplation OF
greater things. We should aim high.
and when anything II To be done. we
should stand together and show the
spectators. and those whose favor we
need to gain. that we are doing what
we can to help ourselves Then we
will not want for help from others.
