"gHE BANNER MAN"
Tells Young Men Not to
Sow Too Large an Acre
age Of Wild Oats.

And so my son, you just want to SOW
a few wild oats, and then you intend to
settle down and make man out OF your
self. Well, all have to say is that you
had better not sow too large crop. Wild
oats are not bringing very good prices in
the markets at present. There seems to
be an oyerproduction of this article, and
it may cost you more to reap your har-
vest than the crop is worth. There are
so many young men sowing wild oats
these days that believe it would pay
better to SOW something else. A few
acres of honesty, truth, sobrlety and
virtue properly cultivated it seems to
me, might pay pretty well. | know my
son, that it seems like the world has
placed a premium upon dishonesty. |
know you think the dishonest men are
getting all the fat offices ia our govern
look a little blue for those who are try
ing to do the right thing, but as sure as
there ia a God and a hereafter. honest
men will be above par In few years
The people OF this great country are
chewing their tobacco pretty nervously
and some of these fine days they will
pull off their coats, roll up their sleeves

But you say nearly all our great mer

that. too, but after reading the lives oi

or two rounds, but they never seeded
anything like a crop II you will name

and he reaped harvest Of remorse and
disgrace. lessee and Frank james sowed
very largely, and they reaped very lar
gely too. These men who hold up stage
coaches, rob express trains and murder
people all started out just to SOW few
wild oats, and then settle down for life
bat somehow or other they forget to
settle. The man whom you read about
9the papers getting drunk and killing

Or two of wilsi oats, but he went Just one
round too mahy. The man who died in

thought he would SOW a lew wlld oats

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

Mayor J.. F. Hinkle yesterday sign
ed the final contract with the ditch
owners providing for tiling the ditch
es. Work will commence at once, and
is to be completed by May LIST. This
is as it should be. This is really a
great step in advance for Roswell,
for now that the matter is virtually
closed we violate no confidence in
stating that these bitches were a
great menace to the health of our
city, and the seepage and sub-irriga-
ton of the business district Is a o
tive injury and dangerous to the
foundations of the large buildings.
All members of the Council, except
one, favored this action, and to them
should be given due credit. They
have acted in a broad and business
like manner
Messrs. Hinkle. WHY'S and Church
the committee having this matter in
charge, have given 1t much thought
and time, and to them and Attorney
Scott great credit should be given
for a successful conclusion. To the
ditch owners also we wish to dof our
hat. While looking at it from a differ
ent viewpoint, and having different
interests, they nave been fair and
shown the right spirit.
Another step forward for a greater
and better Roswell. Just watch us
grow.

1904 nor with the census of 1900. 1t
is not only unfair to the Pecos Val
ley, but to some other parts of the
Territory as well.
The present districts were created
some fifteen years ago, in fact we
understand prior to the census of
1890. and based upon that of 1880.
Under the present arrangement we
have one member of the-upper house
together with seven other counties
comprising almost o~ne-fourth of the
entire vote of the Territory, or al
most 10, 00O votes, while Valencia
and Torrance counties with less than
1900 votes have one member. Santa
Fe also has one member and less
than 5000 votes. Chaves, Eddy and
Roosevelt have more votes than eth
er of these districts, and are put in
with five other counties, covering all
of Southern New Mexico from Texas
to Arizona.
1t is as bad, or worse, in the
House districts. We have one mem
Der for Lincoln, Chaves, Eddy and
Roosevelt counties, nearly 5000
votes,-and Valencia alone, with
only 1900 votes, has two members,
and Santa Fe two, and Union with
900 votes one, Sandoval with only
800 votes a member, as well as many
other instances.
Could anything be more unequal
or unfair?
We do not expect any re-districting
in favor of the Democratic is pro-
badly too much to ask this and we
expect he party in power to give
themselves the benefit of the doubt.
But we do demand, and nave a right
to expect, a square DEAL" now that
we have a man for Governor who
will recognize the rights of the peo-
pie outside the Rio Grande Valley.
1t should be one of Governor Hager-
mans first acts to do justice in this
matter, as we understand that he
has a legal right to make a
tionment, the legislature failing to
do so, after any United States
census.

ChamberIain's Cough Remedy

TN my opinion Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Is the best made for

about its being the best. No other
cure will cure a cold so quickly. No
other is SO sure a preventive of pneu

safe to take. These are good reasons
why 1t should be preferred to n 9th
