the result is better government-and
tina is what the people want. The
objection to the non-partisan plan is
that there is no way to fix the re-
blames every
body else, and an everlasting town
row is the usual result.
The Record is ready to admit how
ever that there are many good repub-
leans and some a Democrats-and
even our own town has had Republi-
can officials who ably discharged ev-
cry duty. Though he is a Republican,
Roswell Democrats are proud of the
Pecos Valley man who is now govern
or of New Mexico. They believe him
honest, and will do all they can un-
clean the rascals out of his w party.
If New Mexico had statehood, howev-
err. and the governor failed. the Dem
ocrats might more quickly clean
things up by electing an entire Dem
ocratic administration.
The Democrats of Roswell are re
sponsible for the past two years of
our municipal government, and they
should be proud to father an admins
tration which has made things happen
faster than they ever happened before
well. The mayor, the members of the
council and all their appointees are
men of whom we may well be proud
when we reflect on the things they
have accomplished. First and fore
most has been Mayor James F. Hin
kle, who not only has faith in the
destiny of Roswell, but acts on the
principle that right now is the best
time to build a city or do anything
else that needs to be done. In declin-
ing to again become a candidate for
the Office, Mayor Hinkle has perhaps
set a good precedent for the uture
Should a weak man at any time be
chosen, his precedent will enable us
to turn him down at the end of M
term-and a good man should not
be imposed upon.
The man who expects to serve only
one term wastes no time in scheming
for reelection. Fearless devotion to
duty has characterized the present
mayor, and having borne the burden
and with the able assistance of the
present council cleared the way for
the future, he believes in giving some
body else a chance to show their met
tie.
OF the appointees. The Record es-
pecially wishes to mention City En-
gineer Dills. City Attorney Scott and
City Marshal Rascoe as examples of
the right men in the proper places.
City Engineer Dills is the man who
by the application of a little common
sense solved the Hondo food problem
without injury to individuals and o
tending protection to the whole com
munity.
City Attorney Scott has revised and
compiled the city ordinances in a
amer thai has been complimented
not only by the best local lawyers,
but by city attorneys throughout the
territory. He has handled important
cases without extra fees, n has been
always ready to devote his time to
the interests of the city.
All we need a about City Marshal
Rascoe and his assistants is that no
town the size of Roswell. either east
or west, has less of disorder and
crime night or day.

Big Fire in Seneca Finest
Building Block in the Town
Destroyed.

Seneca special in Thursdays
News and Courier: Fire shortly
after midnight last night DESTROY
ed nearly $4,000 worth of pro
perty here, and the insurance
on the burned property will not
amount to more than $4,000
The flames swept the finest bust
ness block in town, including the
two hotels in the place and a
large boarding house and four
stores. 1t was by far the worst
fire in the history of Seneca and
the loss falls very heavy on a
town of this size, with less than
1000 population. at one time
it was feared that the fire would
spread to another block of build
ings, but the fire fighters had the
excellent forethought to blow up
one small frame structure with
dynamite, which had the desired
RESULT and enabled them to check
the flames.
The fire started in the coal eel
lar of the Ocone Inn, modern
hotel owned and occupied by G.
II. Ellison. Its origin is unknown
and there is no accounting for it.
The consensus of opinion is that
it was purely accidental.
