Again IL Is the pleasure and priyi.
lege Of The LEADER to wish its many
readers merry Christmas and Hap
Ply New Year! And may each and all.
"in every condition, Ia sickness or
health" feel something Of the cheer
that the Christmas tide always brings.
and know something of the deeper.
purer joy Of the Christians heart as il
catches the echo of the refrain over
the far-off hills Of time: unto you is
born this day, in the city of David. a
saviour which Is Christ the Lord"
We are not so much inspired to
effort by what we have and are. as bv
what the future holds and what we
hope to be. To the toiler, of whatever
trade or calling, whose heart is deeply
involved in things material, there is
CHEEKY prospect of better times
ahead. While crops have not been
what they might, cotton has brought
good prices and general era of pros
perity seems to await our long-suffer
ing people. Even the hard working,
individual farmer, as he sits by his
hearth with his babies on his knee,
may expect to share in this. To the
man behind prison bars, or the be.
reaved who weeps over her unrespon-
sive dead, at this Christmas season.
may there come cheering realization
that the immortal part Of man is free
and unfettered; that all there is of
life is God and the soul which no bolts
or bars can hold, and that Death itself
cannot claim as it's own.
With praise and thanksgiving for
His wonderful gifts to the children of
men, let us pass becomingly the sacred
Christmas time and let US welcome the
New Year-the august New Century
even-and lie down to pleasant dreams
OF the brightest and best things that
await US, which, should they be only
dreams, will at least cheer us on the
way as we continue to fight the stern
battles of life. Forward March :"

DIR. w. w. Davis-Maleum Regrets to Lose
Him.
EDITOR LEADER I'm as much as the
people of Malcum and vicinity feel a
great loss and at the same time, realiz-
ing that, what seems to be heavy loss
to US, is gain to you and your city,
we congratulate you in this gain.
We thoroughly realize that, in con-
geniality, integrity and fidelity to his
profession and thorough competency
for same, none can attain proficiency
any higher than Is found In the person
Of DIR. W. w. Davis, who has recently
moved from your midst. Suffice it to
say that we are prompted in speaking
thus, solely by our appreciation OF
him, and we feel justified in surmising
that time will rank him second to none
in his profession. ! voice this as tie
sentiment of the bone and sinew of his
Malcum neighbors.

The Best Plaster.

A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound
to the effected parts is superior to any
plaster. When troubled with lame
back or pains in the side or chest, give
it trial and you are certain to be
more than pleased with the prompt re-
lief which it affords. Pain Balm also
cures rheumatism. One application
gives relief. For sale by c. E. Graf

Leary and sister of Mrs. Lewis and
Mrs. East. The funeral service was
conducted by Revs. Noteworthy and

THE HERALD has not said much
about the improvements In its mechan-
teal plant, but has gone ahead and
done things. Yesterday a new Mer'
genthaler linotype machine WAS put
IN operation for the first time, to the
manifest improvement OF the appear
aucs of the paper as we'll as in the

is only partial as yet owing to the fact
that the second machine OF the same
sort, which Was ordered some months
ago, IL just being shipped from the
factory, and 1t may be three or four
weeks befure the complete plant lie
ready for operation. The linotype
machines, which are the first to be
seen in Ell Psso, are of the latest
improved pattern, and standard. They
represent heavy investment, but the

ONE OF the most encouraging things
In connection with tie movement for a
midwinter carnival is the way the
local jobbing houses and the outside
merchants and wholesalers are taking
hold OF It. That little label calling at
ten.ion to the carnival will within the
next sixty days be seen In every city
and town In the Great Southwest, and
In many Of the large places Of the east
and north. The fame OF the town will
spread far and wide, and the advertise
ing value alone of the carnival move
ment will be worth ten times the coat.
The carnival is bound to be q success.

A LAS VEGAS paper remarks that
1.-THE only business transacted at the
meeting of the city council on Wednes-
day evening was instructing the city
engineer to establish necessary street
grades" That Is enough, in sll con-
science. Property owners in Ell Psso
have been trying to get the council to
order the city engineer to establish
necessary street grades for 10, these
many moons. And yet nothing is done.
Cement sidewalks are going down all
over the city, and on the same block it
is up and down, a little hill and little
hollow, where the grades of two differ
ent properties come together. Houses
are built At any old level, aud Some of
the streets are q foot or two above the
front yards. 1t would seem as il the
city engineer should be instructed as q
part Of his duty to the public to estsb-
lish grades on every street and eide
walk within the present city limits,
and have the data accessible so that
any property owner desiring to build
house or put down a cement sidewalk
or grade up his front yard might have
some assurance that his Improvement
would be permanent.

THE school question should not be
allow ed to drop back from place OF first
importance In the pa blio mind until II
is settled satisfactorily to the friends of
the schools. As will be seen from the
report OF the proceedings of the school
board At It's meeting last night, the
mem bers OF the school board are fully
alive to the necessity OF the case, and
will exert every effort to csrry the
bonds. But the citizens should help
the board In every way. II there is
going to be any real opposition to the
bond issue there ought to be organized
opposition to the opposition, in order
that the measure may not be lost be-
cause OF Inactivity on the part of It's
supporters. The people are Informing
themselves on the matter. and IL is
per haps cafe to believe that when the
time comes to vote the mas OF the tax
payers will be found on The eide OF the
bonds. But no effort should be spared
TO make the issue sure, for the neces
silly is great.

GREAT SCHEME

One railroad scheme that most OF
the people of FL Psso never heard OF
involves an electric railway from
Denver to this city by the shortest
possible route, via Las Vegse. There
il co harm In indulRing in visions, and
yet the herald would not advise
anyone to purchase stock In the road
for speculative purposes, or buy real
state 10 large blocks along the right Of
way.
It Is q Denver paper that, 10 the
form of Q dispatch from Santa Fee,
springs the deal on an transporting
but credulous public. A few days ago
the HERALD contained dispatch
from Santa Fee, carrying the news Of
the granting OF q franchise to M. W.
McGrath of Denver. COZ tinuing fifty
years, and providing I u the immediate
construction of an electric line in and
about the city of Santa Fe. One
mile Is TO be completed within six
months and 1t least four miles within
two years. Af,er twenty five years
five percent of the gross esrnings 60
to the city.
All this was told in the HERALD'S
special dispatch, but one thing was
missed by the usually faithful cor
respondent. st is understood" ssys
the Denver paper, that the line will
be extended to Las Vegas, Cerrillos,
Bland and Albuquerque. ard Is even
tuslly to be q part OF an electric
through line from Denver to FL Paso,
which is one of the pet schemes and
life ambitions OF w. S. Stratton, the
Colorado millionaire"
A Las Vegas paper sdds Its autho-
rlty TO the foregoing, and lightly
remark: THAT the above mentioned
line will be constructed Is an almost
absolute certainly"
Thus we need have no fear thu. the
project will be realiz ID. 1t will be one

THE Brysnite csrtooniets have
missed their cue in the character they
have adopted as the type of the rich
man. II would seem that they would
have eudeavOred to present the capt.
talist as at least enjoying life after
completing bis great act of grinding
down the face of labor. But no, To-
stead they show him as q great blosted
hog, scanned with cares and ssipation,
q bottle In the coal hod beside him,
his hat too small for him, his collar
sticking tight enough around his bull
neck to stranRle him. and finally his
foot bundled up In rags and laid on q
stool, on account of a severe attack Of
gout-which cannot be pleasant. The
character Is enough to discourage any,
one from voting himself into such q
state by fsvoring Bryan. We will
take ours without the money bags II
that is the way they feel and look.
The HERALD cannot believe that all
capitalists can take their shirts of
over their heads without unbuttou-
ing the neck band. What sort OF
people do the csrtoonists Of the Bryan.
