BIG SHOW is IN TOWN.
Campbell Bros. Circus Here for Two
Performances.

!
A larger crowd than was in Ros-

| here today, the attraction being a

of Campbell Bros which arrived last

| and today, $50 people strong, pitched
their mammoth tents at the corner
of Eighth street and Pecos avenue
The show is much larger and bet
ter than was expected to reach this
part of the country. The parade on
the streets this morning showed four
teen cages of animals, three ela-
phants, camels, ponies. etc, to say
nothing of the two bands, steam cal,
liope and other wonders. The gen
eral impression was that it was very
good showing for circus of no great
er claims than made by Campbell
Brothers
The performance this afternoon vas
put on the tanbark in tie presence
of mammoth crowd. Two rings ard
a stage kept the attention of the peo-
pie for two and half hours The spec
ial features were the acrobats, the
Japanese tumblers and Juggling aero

Roswell, N. NJ. Oct. 16. 1905

Editor of the Roswell Record:
I am glad to see that you are op-
posing the wholesale and retail gam
bling business carried on in Roswell.
This makes me think you will print
this communication.
New Mexico and Arizona have the
distinction of being the only Terrific
ries or States in the United States
where gambling is licensed and auth
orized by law. Even Old Mexico has
repealed it's law licensing gambling
and has prohibited it under severe
penalties. Not state in Europe
authorizes it, excepting the little
5.12O acre Principality of Monaco,
and it is a stencil in the nostrils of
all the rest of Europe.
The gambling law IN n-New Mexico
is one of the relics of barbaFism
which came to us with the country
but which ought to have been .'epeal-
ed years ago by our own Legislature,
or by Federal enactment. But we are
still cursed with and disgraced by
it. However, no town is bound to
have gambling because it is permit
ted by law. The Council of Roswell
could vote it out of existence if it
wanted to. Many towns in Wyom-
ing, Montana, Colorado, Texas, the
in other states are putting an end
to gambling places, and it seems to
me it is high time to do it here.
=. A man who. has better facilities for
knowing than probably any other
man in Roswell, told me recently
that he believed the seven combined
liquor and gambling places in Ros-
well take in at least s500,00 day
for liquor and tobacco-mostly for
strong drink What the gambling ta-
bles take in is not so easy 20 esti-
mate, but it must be at least 100000
a year, exclusive of what the profes-
sional gamblers take out of each 9TH
ty and sixty professional gamblers in
town who do nothing else. They
prey on one another to some extent
(like the hungry dogs in Constantine
ple). but to live and pay the cost of
running the establishments, and 10
pay big profits besides, the seven
gambling places in Roswell must
take at least s125, 900 a year of fresh
money out of the general public. 1t
is not unreasonable to believe that
the seven combined saloons and gam
bling places cost this community at
the very least S25O.OO0 a year. The
two evils-(and a third one which
need not mention now)-always 90
together, the one helping the other.
OF the three evils the liquor selling
is by far the least harmful, but the
three together make combination
which must be extremely gratifying
to the Devil, if that is the right name
to apply to the evil side of the nature
OF some men which prompts them to
destroy themselves
Total prohibition OF liquor selling
has not been found practicable in
other places. and perhaps it is not
/. practicable here AS I understand
the law the city council has power
to grant licenses to one saloon, or a
dozen, just as it pleases. Higher IL
cense might not limit them to one or
two.s but the refusal to grant lie
ense1fo more than one or two is.

Not to exceed six to ten more will be
put on for the entire work. AS fast
as more are needed in one field there
are those who can be let out in a diff
ferent department where the work is
light. For the most part as work ceas-
es in one department they are trans
ferred to another. This will not al
ways be followed, however, for not all
are capable to do all kinds OF work.
But at the extreme not but few will
be employed and there are already
many more applications than there will
be positions. When Prof Patterson
arrives next June there will be work
for three or four in the special table

to be experts almost to secure the po-

Sherman Morris, who Tom Denison
and his friends tried to extradite into
Oklahoma, was told several days ago
by some Of the friends Of Denison who
happen to be Shercliffe's friends also
that this attempt was to be made.
Morris for that reason was not sur
prised when appraised of the fact.
There is absolutely no danger what
ever of Shercliffe ever leaving Iowa.
There is practically no place in the
country where he is safe except in
Iowa and he understands this better
than anyone else. Should he. ever be
taken from the state on a requisition
it would be impossible to get him re-
turned as witness in the trial of Den
ison at Logan.

men to No Avail.

Chicago. April 1O.-The force of po-
lice guarding freight caravans of Mont
gomery, Ward & Co., was doubled to-
day in anticipation of rioting by SYM
pathizers with the firms striking
teamsters and garment makers.
Scenes of violence marked the first
attempt to move freight from the Wara
building. The police were compelled
to use their clubs freely. Three wag-
ons. headed by two patrol wagons and
accompanied by seventy-five police
men, started for the Rock Island
freight sheds. The caravan was fol-
lowed by nearly thousand persons.
Numerous missiles We're thrown by
strike symparhizers along the line OF
march. While the wagons were pass
ing the approach to the Polk street
viaduct the crowd began to shower
stones, boards and everything else
available that could be thrown. The
police charged the mob and finally
cleared the way to freight house.
The police had serious time at
the Lake Shore freight house, where
wagons loaded with merchandise con-
signed to Ward & Co. were blockaded
by hundred teams driven by union
lists. The police endeavored to clear
the way, but after clubbing the team
sters and horses for nearly an hour the
attempt was abandoned, and 1t was
decided to take the freight filled trucks
nv a different route.

merlt urge that this favorable STRAIT
egic position presents the psychological
moment for Offering officially the olive
branch to Japan. reasoning that no
matter how confident the Japanese
government may be of Togo's victory,
it cannot overlook the possibility of
plete disaster which would follow the
transfer of the mastery of the sea to
Russia. With so much depending up
on the issue, they argue, both coun-
tries have mutual interests in avoid
ing. an actual test, and it is not impos-
sible, therefore, that q new move in
the. direction Of peace may come just
as the world expects to hear the call
to quarters for the greatest naval bat
tie of modern times. Certainly the
spirits of the war party have been
greatly raised by Rojestvensky's sue
cess in penetrating to the China sea;
and the prospect of a naval battle,
even with the odds against Russian
victory, which would change the en-
tire complexion Of the situation, has
aroused something like flash of en-
thusiasm In many Russian breasts.
Some naval officers express the
opinion that Rojestvensky, having now
safely navigated the straits, instead of
sailing north to meet the Japanese, can
afford to calmly await Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff with his division of the
squadron, who could arrive there in
about three weeks.
The Russian admiralty on Sunday
received long dispatch from Singa-
pore, but no intimation as to it's con-
tents has been given to the nswspap-
ers. The papers Sunday morning print
ed Singapore dispatches without COM
n1ent, the Sviet being the only excep-
ton This paner views the news from
Rojestvensky as an suspicious prelude
to decisive battle, (which may show
that over Rojestvensky still shines the
happy star which has helped him when
a lieutenant to save the fragile Vesta
in an unusual conflict with Turkish
battleship." The Sviet expresses the
nope that Rojestvensky is destined
turn the tables and that even in case
of defeat some of the vessels will be
able to break thru and reach the Jap
aneSe sea.
