The Roswell fair management this
year will at least not be chargeable
with extravaganza. Three years ago
the printing and advertising bill am
ounted to nearly a thousand dollars,
but this year owing to the fact that
Secretary Dills is a practical Jews
paper man, no money has been vast
ed on advertising in the billboard, !"
the New York Clipper and other p lb-
locations that do a county fair
any good. The printing money is all
spent at home this year, and will not
exceed enc hundred dollars. Other
expenses are being kept down in a
like ratio by President Atkinson and
the members of the executive COM
mittee. and the prospect is that we
shall have a first class county fair
at comparatively small expense.

1.-The Roswell Daily Record agrees
with the Daily New Mexican that the
fairs held in New Mexico would be
far more profitable, directly and IN
directly, if instead of the stress be-
ing laid upon horse racing. baseball,
bronco busting and other sports,
these be made subsidiary to the idea
that a fair is an exhibition of agri-
cultural, horticultural and industrial
products. The sorry financial expe-
rience of the Albuquerque fair the
past two years should convince the
fair managers that the sporting elem
ents, although they make considerable
hullabaloo, do not comprise n per
cent of the population of the Terri
tory, and that the quieter but far
more numerous population must be
to fairs by other attractions
than horse racing or baseball.-Santa

SENTIMENT AGAINST GAMBLING.


One of the toughest towns in wy
oming, Rock Springs, has decided to
Danish gambling. According to a press
dispatch of October 4, the county at
torney has created a sensation by
notifying the sheriff that he would
proceed to file informations in the
district court and would prosecute
all persons engaged in a violation of
the anti-gambling law of Wyoming.
For years the residents of Rock
Springs have paid no city taxes, the
municipal government being support
ed by saloon and gambling licenses
and fines, and yet, in spite Of this
fact, the city council favors the inn
mediate suppression of the vice. The
statement made by one of the lead
ing gambling house owners is signifi-
cant:
ct is useless he said, "to battle
against the wave of sentiment sweep
ing over Wyoming and the entire
West in regard to gambling, and /
am convinced hal within d short
time not a single gambling house
will exist in the state of Wyoming.

It would have cen useless for the
city administration to have placed
the license on gambling so high as
to be prohibitive. The Territorial law
is at fault, as under it the gamblers
could move just outside the city linn
its and start dives ten times worse
than is possible inside. Many cities
of New Mexico will demand of the
next legislature such changes Of the
liquor and gambling laws as win per-
init cities and counties to drive out
gambling entirely if they SC desire.

The Record would respectfully re-
mind the contributor of yesterday
article about taking up subscriptions
to establish business enterprises in
Roswell that the cannery and the
creamery were both built by local
business men taking stock and own
ing the plants. We agree with the
correspondent that this is the proper
way tt establish a business enter
prise il most cases; but in the svent
of a beet sugar factory coming our
way, we believe the community could
afford to give grounds for a location
and a bonus in money, on account Of
it's tendency to develop the agricul-
turaI possibilities OF the Pecos Val
ley and so directly and Indirectly
benefit every line Of business in Ros-
well. We realize hat business men
have many calls for contributions
that are of doubtful value as invest
ments, but as the Commercial Club
is composed of these same business
men who contribute and have a voice
in determining what is to the best
interests of the community, the Rec
ord feels safe in commencing any
business enterprise that receives the
endorsement Of the Commercial Club.

captains, tor tncn puDnC OPINION "Oulu
be overwhelming that no avoidable risk
such as here entailed should be tolerated.
1t is pure sentiment, natural enough,
which now stands in the way of the
sweeping removals that ought to be
instituted.
These veterans are of course the Stir
vivors of many. They have served
faithfully, honorably and well for from
thirtv-fve to forty years. 1t IS true
that to retire them probably means to
deny them any further opportunity for
distinction, if not, as they put it, to
blight their careers at the end. That
their country has a tender side for them
is indisputable, and however much crit
icism may be leveled at the ridiculous
pensioning off of their younger brethren,
few will cavil at whatever expenditure
NAV be involved in compromising them
in pecuniary sense for their disappoint-
ment. None of them in any wise APP
proaches senility or suffers from any dis
aiding incapacity. As body they are
physically probably as sound as any
equal number of individuals chosen from
any other profession which undergOes
like exposure to wind and weather.
They of course have the inability which
affects all men over fifty in greater or
less degree, namely, diminished physical
endurance, and this under conditions
which even in peace-tirne might well strain
the resources of men much younger The
main trouble with them, however, is
not physical, but military. They are too
near the statutory retiring age. They
have not sufficient time left on the active
list to enable them to become educated
as admirals to the extent necessary to
insure the efficient handling of our fleets.
There are three admiTals whose attain
nents are so well-known, whose efficiency
is so thoroughly demonstrated, and who at
the same time are so young IN thought
and habit and generally vigorous for
their years, that as matter OF simple
expediency they should be exempted
from the age-retiring limit. This prob
ably cannot be done directly, but it can
be effected indirectly by recreating the
grade of vice-admiral which existed
during and after the Civil War and was
held in turn by Porter and Rowan. We
need vice-admira1s to command respect
ively the Atlantic Pacific and Asiat1c
meets, ana 10 CODIOllltIc our OWL SItNltS
with those of other nations. Our vice
admirals, like our admirals (Farragut .
Porter and Dewey, have always been
unlimited as to age of retirement, and
hence the revival of the grade and the
appointment to it of Rear-Admirals
Evans, Goodrich and Brownson would
accomplish more than one useful pur-
pose.
Saving these three, the whole of the
present admirals, captains and most of
the commanders should be retired with
out any needless delay. The younger
officers should be promptly advanced to
the higher grades, and the three vice
admirals set to work to break them in to
their new places. If the vacancies Gre /
ated at the bottom of the list are larger
than the Naval Academy can supply
with sufficient CELEBRITY, they should be
filled, first in the specialized branches
ordnance, engineering, etc.-With grad
yates from the technical schools. and
in the non-specialized branches from the

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, hatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrh9a.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, ana unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia 4. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:

make her troubles known to the public, but

cannot help from telling mine for the sake
OF other suffering women.

with uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me physicsl wreck, and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and

what splendid medicine it is"

BILE Compound at once. and write to
