The last two presidential elections
have shown that the people of the United
States arc not III harmony with all OF w.
J. Bryau's political views, but the citi.
zsns Of tho republic should unanimously
endorse his views on anarchy as follows:
There il NO place for anarchy in the
United States; there is no room hero for
those who commit, counsel or coudoue
murder, no matter whst political excuse
may bs urged in IL dsieuss. The line
between peaceful agitation and violence
10 clear and distinct. We have freedom
OF speech and freedom Of the pres in
this country, and they are essential to
the maintenance Of our liberty. II any.
ooe desirrs 10 criticize tho methods OF
government or tho conduct OF an Official,
bs has = perfect right to do 90, but his
appeal must bc TO the intelligence and
patriotism Of bis fellow .citixsus, not TO
force. Let NO ous imagine that he can
improve social or political conditions by
tho shedding OF blood. Free govern
mcnts may be over. thrown, but they can
not be reformed, by thosc who violate tho
commandment Thou shalt NOT kill"
The Enterprise. together with several
other papers In the valley, has Tor tho
past two months been carrying an adver-
tisement for the American Bect Sugar
company in which they offer their serv-
ices sratuitously to farmers who wish to
sell or rent their farms The farmers 70.
whom this work has been undertaken
have not shown the expected interest.
They are very busy people but should
not be 80 cngrosscd with one line Of net.
ivity rs to forget their interests which lie
in another direction. All farmers who
wish to either sell or rent their farms
should put themselves in communication
with the company at an early day. The
company voluntarily undertakes this
work for the sole purpose Of promoting
the development Of the valley, thereby
securing greater acreage OF sugar beets.
And whenever the company induces nm
eastern farmer to move to Colorado aud
engage in the culture Of sugar beets n
great favor has been done the immigrant.
The announcement Of NJ. Finity, an
attorney Of La Junta, for the republican
nomination for county judge, appears in
another column. Mr.. Finity called on
the Enterprise Wednesday and appears
to be well qualified for the office which
lie seeks. He filled the Office OF justice
of the peace and police magistrate in La
Junta for two years. giving good satis-
faction. He is lifelong republican,
never having voted any other ticket. Be-
sides he has u most honorable record as
an ex.soldier Of the Civil war, enlisting
as private in 1861 and after three and
one-h half years hard service coming out
us one Of the officers Of his company.
AS the old soldiers of this county are
still quite numerous and constitute an
important factor in elections Mr.. Finity's
claims should be duly consi Tered by the
county convention which meets here on
the 2lst.
During about eleven months OF the year
the question of surface drainage is mat
ter OF small concern to Rocky Ford's citi-
zens. But when rain falls in u flood us
on Saturday our streets need drainage
and need it badly. In some depressions
water stands for several days, becoming
not only unsightly but offensive, il not
unhealthy. We are aware Of the fact
that our city authorities have not the
means available to provide all the i'm
provements which they recognize are de-
manded, but We respectfully present this
matter OF surface drainage us one worthy
Of attention as soon as it can be reached
in the municipal management.
The democratic county central COM
mittee met in Rocky ford Monday to ar
range for the primaries and the county
convention. The convention will be held
in Rocky Ford, Saturday, September %,
and the primaries in the various pre-.
cincts Oh Saturday. September 81. The
basis OF representation is on the vote for
Bryan last fall, and there will be 151
delegates in the convention. sf
