Nearly all of us have some romance
or half-formed notions in our make
up,-and perhaps this accounts for
the fact that the Record editor has
for nearly four years admired Captain
Poe from a distance. Reading stories
of his adventures in early days, the
newcomer was a little afraid of be-
ing scalped if he approached a man
who had been up against the real
thing in tanning the wild and woolly
West. But gradually we have come
to appreciate the fact that Captain
Poe while making way for civiliza-
tion in the wilderness, carried in
himself a fine specimen of wha the
new citizenship should be-a gentle
man in every sense of the word-a
man who, after helping to clear out
marauders, was one of the first to
turn his attention to beating the
sword into a plow-share,. developing
the rich that slept in the
bosom of the desert, and becoming
a leader in all the movements of
peace and business enterprise. All
New Mexico is proud to claim Captain
Poe as a citizen,-but his heart and
home, his life and success, especially
belong to Roswell and the Pecos Val
ley and as his past achievements
form an important part of RoswelIs
history, so must the present and the
future acknowledge a debt of graft
tude.
