Value of Dust Storms.

One sometimes wonders what
part the dust storm plays in the
economy of nature. We know
it plays in the Pecos Valley,
and certainly we should not
have SO much of anything and
such a continued muchness un.
less it was a part of the great
scheme. We are told how the
Nile enriches her valley every
spring by bringing down fresh
deposits of soil in the floods
thereby making new ground.
Might we not reason out the
value of dust storms in some
such way? No one will ques:
ton its power to scatter the
soil.-Roswell Register.
Don't know how you can Gig
ger" it out, bud. About the
time you get to "figgering" here
will come "telegrams of big
real estate deals" at Cannon
Ball rate, but the man has never
been found who likes to pay for
soil acquired in this manner.
But if some folks would happen
to reason out the value of dust
storms in manner indicated by
the Register, they'd straight
way get up an excursion party
to find out where they had gone
to.

for that matter. The more con.

already experienced a taste of
the tightening of the social

christened. Nine times out of

the West, is composed of people
who have little money and

Present conditions here as
we'll as in Europe, favor the
spread of socialism; it is gaining
ground every day among US,
little as we think about it, and
while not now the power here
that it is beyond the great
waters, the day is not far dis.
tant when it will be--unless all
signs fail.
Since the time man has been
numerous enough to dwell in
cities two things have been pre-
eminently powerful for good or
evil brains and money. These
two forces when leagued to-
gether have proven themselves
invinclble, and from the fact
that money can always purchase
brains it follows as a safe con.
clusion that money rules the
world. This order of things
should not be. 1t is not for the
best interests of mankind and
there are people in our world
today, many of them, who pro
pose to change all this but can
they do it? Those who believe
that history repeats itself say
emphatically no. But it is
argued that the world is getting
better and more progressive and
the divine right OF kings is no
longer acknowledged, hence,
the freedom of the great masses,
and Democratic government. All
this sounds nice and much of it
is true but when we pause to
consider "the power behind the
tbrone;" that power-money-
which time and time again has
purchased the imperial purple
itself, we must admit that it's
the same old master with but a
change in name.
Is there no chance for a
change? Yes, when the brains
of the world cease to worship
at the shrine of mammon and
not until then. In that new age,
should it ever cOre, brains
alone will rule, and may the
God of the poor, the humble and
weak and the oppressed Of
every cline, hasten the dawn
ing of that day.

Friday mornings train and
along later in the day showed
such symptoms Of an un balanced
mind that Sheriff Uphold put
him in Jail awaiting further

the poor unfortunate until Sun
day and he had recovered so
far Monday morning that he was
liberated from his asylum. Evi.

from delirium tremens. though
he claimed upon the recovery
of his senses that he had been

ROBBED of his watch and $40. At

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

The heavy Socialist gains in
Germany are again engaging
the serious thought of the ruling
powers of Europe. Governmen
tai high tariffs, the concentra-
ton of wealth and many lines
of business into the hands OF
"the few" and the modern style
of living are slowly, it may be,
but surely bringing about con-
ditions which if allowed to con.
tinue, will, ere many more de-
cades pass, bring about revc.
luton that will shake the earth
itself.
1t will not do at all to compare
the Socialist with the Nihilist
and the Anarchist. These last
named people thrive best where
ignorance predominates, but the
Socialists, in Germany called
the Social Democrats, recruit
their forces chiefly from the
ranks of tho middle classes in
Guiding among the number a
good if not large percentage of
university graduates.
The civilized world of today
has advanced beyond the red
flag doctrines of Nihilsm and
Anarchy and they are no longer
a serious direct menace to the
forms of government that be.
True, they may occasionally
"remove" a crowned head or
"put away" a president but
what avails it to them? Anoth.
er ruler is easily made and the
government sought to be over
thrown by assassination is only
strengthened thereby. In this
age the only chance for the fol-
lowers Of the red flag to have
their day in court is to get be-
hind the banners of the growing
hosts of socialism and bide their
time-it is coming.
Combinations of the skull and
crossbones variety whose ten
cts preached death to the
ruling powers of earth had their
origin long years ago. They
were the natural outgrowth of a
barbarous and brutal age. Their
season has always been short of
life as was the "reign of terror"
during the French revolution,
and the result has always been
defeat of their purpose and re.
coil of their violence, with
double force upon their own
heads. The world has never
Endorsed the doctrines of anarchy
and never will, and knowing
this, imperial governments fear
them not.
But socialism is an altogether
different problem. 1t is a
growth of our own times. 1t
thrives in soil where anarchy
fails to even root. 1t flourishes
best where education is broad.
cast. 1t is not only in Europe
but here in this country, and in
fact all over the civilized world;
it is advancing in giant strides.
Inscribed upon it's banners are
what it calls "the rights of
man." in its left hand it holds
the ballot and it's right is reach.
ing for the scepter of command.
