the theme upon which the address
was based. The speaker told the class
and his hearers of the many great
and desirable traits of human charac-
ter, and gave them some strong ad-
vice as to now to attain these most
valuable credentials, but showed all
along the line of his deductive argu-
ment that Christian Love is the
greatest asset il the makeup of a
human being without this, all other
qualities lose their Iustre, all others
are, in truth, without their full value.
He advised the hearers to possess
first this great treasure, and many
things would be added unto them. He
argued that it was better to make
people love you for what you are and
what you do, than to make them ad-
mire you for your greatness, your ge-
lius or your accomplishments The
address was full of strong points, put
in Elder Hills most inimitable man.

WILL THOMPSON AND
ELVA RAINBOLT Welded

To the surprise of relatives and
friends, even to the parents of the
bride, Will Thompson and Miss Elva
Rainbolt were married Saturday
night. The ceremony was performed
at eight o'clock at the home of the
officiating minister, Rev. H. F. Yer
million, pastor of the Baptist church.
only the legal witnesses being pres
ent. The couple went to the home of
the groom, at 100 N. Kentucky, where
they will make their home for the
present The bride is the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Rainbolt
She is one of Roswe11's prettiest girls
and, moreover, is of the lovable dis
position tnat will make her a desira-
BILE life companion, besides having the
qualifications of a good housewife.
The groom is night linotype operator
at the Daily Record Office, and is well
known in Roswell. A better hearted
young man does not live, and this
fact, coupled with his capability and
industry insures him success. The cou
pie deserves the best life affords, and
every one of their friends, especially
those of the Record force, hope their
cup of happiness viii prove an over
flowing fountain.

seemed unable or unwilling to see
any difference between the two
transactions, in which the Governor
had not made a single move without
consulting the men upon whom he
had a right to depend for advice and
with the sanction and approval of the
authorities at Washington to which
he was subordinate.
Other Speeches.
1t is impossible to tranScribe our
notes of other addresses today, but
extracts at least from other brief ad-
dresses will be given tomorrow.
Judge Nisbet (Rep.) made an able
talk. Rev. Edwin Emerson Davis,
(Rep.) pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church, presented a speech which
would DE worthy of hearing at any
time, under any political conditions
that might arise, and we shall pub
lish it whether the Governor shall be
removed or not. Judge Nisbet's ad-
dress was of like high character, an
argument for civic righteousness that
takes little account of merely tenn
porary party devices. Elder C. C. Hill,
always a favorite speaker in Roswell
gatherings of all kinds, was heard
with great enthusiasm. Chairman
Stockard did not say much in the be
ginning of the meeting, but he made
up for it by calling upon Rev. Jonn
w. Smith, who as usual acquitted
himself with distinction. The editor
of the Daily Record also tried to
make a few remarks.
Resolutions.
A committee of five on resolutions
was appointed by the chair, as fol
lows: c. E. Mason, J. M. Reid, r. S.
Hamilton, Rev c. c. Hill and R. H.
Kemp. The report of this committee,
which was wired to President Roose-
welt, was adopted by unanimous ris-
ing vote, the court room being packed
to the doors, Railways and windows
when the vote was taken. The resolu-
ton was as follows:
"The citizens of Roswell, in public
meeting assembled, express the be-
lief that designing persons have mis-
Governor Hagerman's
acts, and the attitude of the people
toward him. They have all confidence
in his integrity, and heartily endorse
his every official act, without excep-
ton, and request that you do not ac-
cept his resignation"
The majority of voters present at
the meeting probably were Republi-
cans, many of Mr.. Hagerman's Dem
ocratic supporters having become
timid on account of the announce
ment that a Democratic governor will
succeed him.

WINS FIRST
GAME FROM INSTITUTE.
Special to The Record.

Special to The Record
Amarillo, Tex, April 27.-The home
team defeated the Military Institute
team of Roswell in the first game of
the series here this afternoon by a
score of eight to three. 1t was a snap
py game, full of interest to the large
crowd in attendance, in spite of the
bad showing mode Iby the visitors.
Caldwell was in the box for the
institute and pitched a good game,
allowing but five hits. He was given
poor support and the tea errors
made by the team, many of them
costly, were what lost the game.
Webber was on tae firing line for
Amarillo. He allowed eight hits, two
of them home-runs by Crowell and
Lonma1, and one a two-bagger by
Hester, but his team fielded clean,
making only four errors, and the
game was easy for him. The game
was played on the new baseball field
that has just been completed.
Batteries: Caldwell and Lohman;
Webber and Foy.

STREET RAILWAY
STRIKE AT SALT LAKE.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 29.-All ne
gotiations between the Utah Light
and Railroad Company and its strik-
ing motormen and conductors have
been broken off, and what promises
to Ibe a bitter contest is now on. At
tempts of the company to run few
cars on Main street this morning
caused a repetition of the disorderly
scenes of yesterday, but no oae was
seriously injured. The company ex-
poets to bring a carload of strike
breakers from Oregon tonight.
The strikers themselves did not
take any part in the disorders. The
leaders of the disturbance were,
many of them half-grown boys. The
only demonstration made by the strik-
ers was a parade in which over five
hundred men took part. Headed by
brass band they marched through the
principal downtown streets. The men
bore banners reading, Bread and But
ter is the Issue, Nothing More, Moth
ing Less"
The electrical workers, who are al
so employed by the Utah Light Com
pany, will submit an ultimatum to
the company this afternoon. They not
only demand an adjustment of their
grievances, but will inform the COM
pany that unless a settlement is
reached with the street car men the
electrical workers will go out in sym

BRYAN ON LABOR UNIONS.

William Jennings Bryan. in the Reader
 of September.
 The labor organiza ton has been an inn portant factor in the laborlng man s progress. It has shortened hours; 1t has increased wages; it has improved sani- tary conditions; it has secured the pas sage of laws for the prevention of child In bor it was largely instrumental in in- troducing the secret ballot, and it has in a hundred ways made its impress upon industry, government and society. That it has made mistakes is true, but what organization composed of human beings is free from mistakes?
 The labor organization has helped those outside of it as well as those inside. To test it., take a case where a labor or ganization has secured an advance in pays union and non-union men the same wages, and he will tell you that the non union men will not work for less than he pays the union men. And yet there are some who wonder why members of the union. who pay their dues to the or ganization and contribute to the support of their brothers on strike, should ob- ject to sharing in the victory with those who not only refuse to bear the burdens but sometimes endeavor to defeat the strike.

Central of Georgia's Contention

The fourteenth amendment came
 missing hot from the civil war. The Nictors imposed it upon the country. Its ratification has always been tainted
 because ratification on the part of the southern states was procured under pressure in reconstruction times. It was ratified by carpetbag governments in the south, and if their votes be taken away it was not ratified at all
 Be the nature of the ratification what 1t may, it was devised to present the fruits of the war in general and the rights of the negroes in particular
 The railroads were not even thought of in connection with it by those who prepared the amendment and pressed it through Congress and the various legislatures. When it provided that no state should deprive any person of property without due process of law it's framers and friends had an eye single 10 the negro only, and the haste of xhe railroads in supplanting the negro

GOOD SPPORI
From Harper'S Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
 There is a certain western congress- man, golf enthusiast, who, when he came to Washing gton for the first time, was accustomed to get to the Chevy Chase clubs links early in the morn ing, when there would be no one to witness his lack of skill On one occasion a caddie had follow ed him to the tee and offered to go the course with him for the modest com pensation of 50 cents. "I don't need you, my boy" said the representative. "Tll go it alone" and as he spoke the westerner, making tremendous swipe at the ball, missed it by foot.
 "I'll go round with you for qua rter, sir" said the caddie.
 Again the amateur declined the cad dies attendance; and again he swung at the ball, with the. same result
 "I'll go with you for 15 cents" said the boy.
 This so rattled the newcomer that he made three more wild swipes. The caddfe. as he retreated bit, called out.
 Say, mister. won't you take me round for nothing? I'll go for the fun of it."

From the Washington Herald.
 Sir Conan Doyles marriage few weeks ago to Miss Jean Leckie was char acterized by curious mistake on the part of the press in this country, which announced very generally that the author of Sherlock Holmes" was a bachelor, and somewhat crusty besides, as the neg lect of women in his books seemed to them to indicate. Some one who is inti- mately informed upon the incidents in the life of this distinguished writer reminds the public that there was first Lady Doyle. and that it was she who urged her husband to devote himself to writing The public. therefore, owes to the first wife some of it's obligation for Sherlock Holiness Sir Conan Doyle, who was then plain young doctor, met Miss Louise Hawkins at Southsea while she was nurs- ing her brother. his patient; fell in love with her married her. and together they went over to Vienna to continue his study of medicine. Later they came back to London, where the young physician di- verted himself by writing a story now and again, with success so unusual that his wife grew convinced that writing was his true vocation, and persuaded him to give over his entire time to it. The first Lady Doyle was sympathetic and discriminat- ing in her admiration of her husbands work, and able to assist in 1t in spite of delicate health. She died only little over year ago while still in her forties. leaving two children, Mary Louise and Arthur Alleyne Kingsley Doyle

Police Force.

Speaking of the police force, Bir- mingham has the minimum in numb CT according to requirements in American cities" said a well informed man.
 Exceptionally quiet cities make up their police strength on the basis of one policeman for every thousand of populations; but as rule the large cities have one policeman for every 800 of population. Now, Birmingham, be- ing the dumping ground of state con victs whose terms expire, should have the maximum basis, but instead it has the minimum. We have a population of about 6O,000 and we have a police force of only 60 men.
 When the Greater Birmingham be- comes reality our population will be about 100000; and the police force should be numbered something like 240 but the city's revenues will not admit of so large a force We will do well to have 100 men in the police depart ment'

Rivers and harbnrs

The national rivers and harbors con- gross is to meet in Washington De- cember 4, and it is important that the Alabama rivers and harbors be well represented in that body. This is an additional reason for the assembling nt Mobile in November of an Alabama waterways conference. The Mobile Register has suggested the holding of such a conference, and if it will lead the way until one is called, there will be no difficulty in procuring a good attendance.
 The Mobile conference should care fully select list of delegates itself to go to Washington to take part in the deliberations of the national body, leaving each river or district or city to supplement the state list as may seem to it desirable.
 An effort will be made at Washing sfon to conflne the waterways move ment to the Mississippi. and Ohio rivers, and Alabama at least should object to the proposed limitation. The chief river state in the country is deeply interested in the new water ways movement, but unless we are alert it will be diverted to other states, and our rivers will go unimproved and amused. Let the Mobile conference be called, and let the whole state wake hp to the deep importance of the new finland waterways policy which laid dormant long time, but which is now nrousing a great degree of public at tention and support.

is a latter-day evolution that must be surprising to the statesmen of forty odd years ago if they are where they receive current news from this world.
 But the railroads that are hastening to nestle under the wings of the four teenth amendment make a mistake when they ignore the state, its off cers and its courts. They set aside the eleventh amendment in order to get all possible aid and comfort from the fourteenth amendment. The elev- enth amendment, adopted a hundred years ago or more, reads as follows:
 "The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state"
 In Georgia the Central railroad of that state is endeavoring in a suit be- gun in federal court to restrain the officers of the state from the governor down. Those officers are defendants in the suit, and yet it claims it is not sueing the state. When it sues the governor of Georgia it sues the head of that state, it's executive, whose duty it is to enforce the laws he him self assisted in making, and yet the railroad says it is not doing thing to the state. When 1t stays the hands of officers of the state from the governor down, it stays the hands of the state, for the state can act through it's off cers only.
 This is why the litigation in Geor- gia is deeply interesting. If litiga- tion can run over the eleventh amend. ment in order to seek shelter under the tainted fourteenth amendment. then indeed the rights and powers of state would seem to be mythical and the sovereign state will become but a memory only.

Home for inc Commercial Club

President Sterling A. Wood is said to cherish the worthy ambition to build for the Commercial club a home be- fore he retires from the presidency of the club. It is a splendid task, and he Is an excellent man for it. The club will never be on a sound and high ly useful footing until it has home of it's own. The plans are said to call for a $4O,OOO building, and that sum is certainly reasonable when the future of this city and district is taken into consideration.
 In home of it's own the Commer- cial club would continue to be the chief exponent of the trade and industries of this district. President Wood should cultivate his plans for putting up the needed building while he is in office, and the sooner he gets at work on it the better will the membership and the rest of the district be pleased. The Commercial club has been useful in past years, and under President Woods programme it promises to be far more useful hereafter.
