tina, he was unable to be at the recent
meeting Of the Arkansas Valley Press
association at Salida. The press reports
show tina; the gathcing was the largest
yc, held and in every way great SUCCESS.

tive and helpful to the craft. A carriage
drive enabled the thirty newspaper men
to view beautiful Saiida under picasan;
circumstances. A dainty lunch was served
by the Ladies Tuesday Evening club and
royal banquet served in the evening.
The citizens of Saiida did all in their
power TO make the occasion pleasant for
their visitors and were cmincn,iy success
full. The mex, meeting Of the association

was a disappointment TO majority OF
our citizens. Bu, those who are rcspon-
sible for his appointment assure the
Enterprise that the situation is much
better than it seems, and that the ordi-
nanccs relating to saloon regulation will
be enforced. Hence i, is but fair
play TO suspend judgment; and await
Developments. The public has the

A month ago the Enterprise would
have said that Rocky Ford had all the
secre, societies that could be organized L.
Had our opinion been asked we should
have said that the ground was fully
occupied and that an organizer OF new
society would be wasting his time here.
But local newspaper men don't know
everything, rs during the past four
weeks two new societies have been
started each with over 50 members the
foemen and the Eagles. Now that we
have all possible varieties aud grades Of
societies TO fit all tastes and all condi-
tons OF life, and none man is on the
ground to work up new lodge, we are
tempted to advise all society organizers
to shun Rocky Ford. Every man ELI q.
ible to join any kind OF nm organization
Is now member Of from two to four
lodges.

Miss Susan Is. Anthony to an inter-

fully on the possibility Of securing woman
suffrage in New York state, aud said tn at
nothing but the votes Of women will
break up the Tammany ring" 1t would
be too sad to say anything to chill Miss
Anthony's sanguine hopes, says the Pue-

land of sports bear out the assertion that
the requirement OF suffrage by women in
New York would not have the slightest
effect upon Tammany.
