ing to the minority, and especially in
the case of something to drink. !"
Hence, when the politicians make
themselves conspicuous on the dry
side you may safely set it down as
settled beyond a peradventure, that
dry is the popular condition. >And, in
deed. our Kansas City neignbor ad-
mits this, and a little further on in
the same article it says:
However, the brewers, or any 9TH
er body of men, might as well try to
turn back the tides of the ocean as
to stem the tide of prohibition in Mis-
souri,. One is just as resistless as the
other, and while one proceeds from
a physical law, the other arises from
law of morals which is inevitable,
although slow and less clearly defin-
ed in its operations. The growth of
the prejudice, as it is called, against
the liquor interest-really being ag-
ainst the liquor and not necessarily
the interests largely a matter of
popular education. The public schools
as well as nearly every other institu-
ton of learning, with their diagrams
and charts, are teaching every day a
clearer understanding of the harmful
ness of alcoholic drinking. If there
were nothing else, that influence
alone, working like yeast in the minds
of the boys and girls of the nation,
would eventually be as sure in its eff
on stone; the people as whole
would ultimately come to regard alco-
hol as an enemy and treat it as such.

INTERESTING OLD
ENGLISH PAINTINGS.

While Albert Turner, of this city,
was in England settling up tae estate
of a relative he secured two very int
eresting old pictures that were paint
ed more than hundred years ago by
his ancestors. He brought them to
Roswell, and they can now be seen
at the Hess studio in this city. One
is an early painting of Mr.. Turner's
great -great-grandfather, Robert Simp
son, al English country gentleman
who attained considerable fame local
1y as a painter in his day. This pic
ture is lis years old and shows an
old English stone dwelling on the
edge of Va forest, its action being a
boy who is driving three COWS across
an old stone arch bridge. The work
is quite heavy and shows the touch
of an artist. The second is a crayon
drawing of a young hunter and his
dogs. 1t was a scnool-day effort of
Mr.. Simpsons son and is dated 1872,
showing the dress and hunters equip
ment of that time. Both pictures are
of value as works of art and Mr.. Tur-
ner prizes them highly on account of
their age and the fact that they were
done by his ancestors.

Progress of Prohibition.

From Albuquerque Journal.
1t is the unexpected that happens.
And according to that philosophy we
all these years of agitation and effort
throughout the northern and eastern
states in favor of the suppression of
the liquor traffic, that end is really
going to be gained first in the South.
a section from which nothing in that
line had been expected Coming ev-
ents cast their shadows before, and
the shadow of prohibition is already
distinctly visible over considerable
number of the Southern states. The
next one to go dry probably will be
Missouri, and yet those who knew
that state, as is was only a few years
ago, would nave placed such a result
in the most conspicuous place among
the hopelessly improbable events But
it is coming, and that very soon. Near
1y half the counties have already
adopted it. and the most of the others
are ready to follow.
Only few days ago the Kansas
City Journal, in speaking of the fact
that Governor Folk had placed him
self at the mead of the prohibition
movement, characterized his action
as q political trick. But that only
gives addifionar force to the main
fact In the case. Politicians never
play tricks for the purpose OF cater-

MIIler's Cottage About Complete.

The pretty cottage being erected by
w. A. Phillips for r. L. Miller, land
lord of FL Captain hotel, on the lot
adjoining the hotel on Fifth street is
about completed. 1t is four room
dwelling with bath and all conven-
fences. The new dwelling will be a
private home for Mr. Miller. He al
so states that if he had one in every
block in town he would not live in a
hotel. The new cottage is strongly
constructed so it can ibe moved If nee
essary Mr.. Miller expects to move
all the buildings on his quarter block
some day and put up a brick hotel on
the east corner.

NO TRIP FOR THE
ROSWELL BALL BOYS

Roswell will not send a baseball
team to the Albuquerque fair next
month. Some weeks ago movement
was started to get up a picked team
from the town boys and Military In
stitute players and send them by popu
lar subscription to battle with the
teams that will come to the Albuquer-
que tournament. For a while it was
thought the proposition would go thru
But it has fallen fiat for lack of boos-
ters. OF, course it would take money
to put through such scheme-and
no one appeared willing to solicit it.
However, Roswell will have some
games this fall. In place of the prac-
tice games that were to be had pri-
mary to the Albuquerque trip, the
town team and Institute boys will
play for blood in several contests that
will be arranged little later. The
Institute team will be ready for work
in about two weeks, and then the fun
will start.

The Santa Fe railroad has paid but
little attention to the recent order of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for reductions in the freight rates on
commodities to the Panhandle of Tex
as and Pecos Valley of New Mexico.
In its order this high court demanded
of the railroad that it put into effect
by September first material reduc
tions on the rates on practically every
necessity of living and development.
Up until today the freight offices along
the line of the Santa Fe system had
ON but two articles of commerce, salt
and coal, and the reductions on these
two commodities, as demanded by the
commission We're but trivial.
The reduction on coal is from $4.40
to $4-35 per ton from Colorado points.
It is true. however, that the company
had reducedSthe rate on coal 95 cents
on the ton last June. The reduction
on salt was from 35 cents to 80 cents
per hundred from Kansas points.
Both of these reductions went into
effect September first The producers
price of coal at the mines one dollar
on the ton, so that the reduction of
the freight rate will not affect the
price of coal in Roswell.
1t is generally believed that the
railroad company owns the coal mines
thr of o1ya
up for the reduction of freight rates.
