Mexican Band at Pink Tonight.
EVEN COLONEL FROST EN-
DORSES ONE DEMOCRAT

From Santa Fe New Mexican.
The action of the Board of Equal
zation at its meeting Monday in the
selection of James F. Hinkle as pres
ident will meet with universal appro-
val throughout the Territory. Consid-
ering the personnel, a better selection
could not have been made. The board
is one of the most important official
bodies of the Territory and much of
the welfare and progress of this com
mo1wealtn depend upon its official
deliberations and actions.
Mr. Hinkle is in the prime of life,
being a little over forty years of age.
He is a native of Missouri, having
been born in Franklin county, that
the public schools and in the State
University at Columbia. Early in life
he started out to carve a career for
himself, and twenty y-five years ago
came to New Mexico, settling in Lin
coin county, and engaged in cattle
raising In this branch he has contin-
ued ever since, although he is also
connected with other lines of bust
ness. From the moment of his arrival
| in the Sunshine Territory he became
deeply interested in politics on the
Democratic side and has done much
service to the people in various of
! fees to which he was chosen, both
elective and appointive. He is well
known as one of the most honorable.
straightforward, courageous and far
sighted citizens in this Territory.
While a consistent Democrat. he
has never allowed his political prin-
cfples to carry him too far in poll
| tics, but has always done his level
best to perform the duties of the of
fees which he has filed, fairly and
| efficiently with a view to the best int
erests of the entire people, AID never
subordinating the interests of the peo-
pie to those of party. For about ten
years he has been resident of the
city of Roswell, of which he was once
mayor and served a term of two
years. Under his administration the
| ordinance prohibiting gambling within
the city limits was passed by the city
council, and much credit belong to
him for the stand he then and there
took as chief official of tae city for
morality, deceney and for the best in
tersts of the community. Roswell was
the first municipality in the Terrific
ry where gambling was completely
stamped out. and that before the leg
islative enactment prohibiting gam
bling in the Territory was passed
During his term of Office as mayor
he saw to it that the ordinance was
strictly enforced, and this example
as set by him has been followed By
officials in that town ever since.
Mr. Hinkle has obtained a compe
tency and is a director and stock
holder of the First National Bank of
Roswell and of the First National
Bank of Hagerman, Chaves county.
and he IS president of the Pecos Val
ley Lumber Company, one of the large
and successful business concerns at
Roswell and in the Pecos Valley. He
stands high in the business commu-
nifty and 1t is a by-word throughout
the Territory that Jimmie Hinkle's
word is as good as his bond. and his
bond is giIt-edged and the best possi
Bile security This Is also his record
| in oflcial life and IN politics.

| ity, and as business people the com
pany will have to KNOW they can
cover tais before they sign up. II
they cover this difference, what is the
| limit to the coverings?
Unless we know we can sell our
bonds and place ourselves in position
to deal with contractors on cash
basis, does not common prudence sug
gest that we be little cautious?
In regard to the matter of superin-
tendence; we do not know Mr.. Ellis,
but we notice an extract from the To-
peka Journal which criticises him and
his methods in unmeasured terms.
Now, the charges may be false, and
Mr.. Ellis explanation which ascribes
them to political differences may be
true; but when a committee of three
appointed from the body of city
council, and by that token supposed
to be good and honest citizens, make
an unanimous report over their sig
natures characterizing Ellis report
as utterly unworthy of credence, -
and as showing him devoid of any
sense of honor or pride of reputa-
tion,'' does not common sense suggest
to us to be careful?
We all know that the supervising
engineer mas a great deal of power,
and that unless he is a clean man he
can hurt us and we cannot help our
selves. To place the expenditure of
$125,000 in the hands of a stranger,
under the fairest auspices would not
open charges of dishonesty whether
true or no) stand against him, would
be inviting disaster.
If we as a community do this and
get the same sort of a deal the Tope
ka people claim to have gotten, we
shall forever stand exposed to the
criticism of our fellows and the con-
tempt of our neighbors.
There is one circumstance that
makes us suspicious of Mr.. Ellis
good faith, aside from any other cir
cumstance, and that is his signed
statement in the Daily Record of the
12ta inst, stating that the CITY, under
mis- plan, could furnish water at sc.
per 1000 gallons and pay Office ex-
penses, superintendent and interest
and yet make a profit. We have
sought the best advice we could get
from practical men, and we find this
statement so incorrect as to be abso-
Iutely ridiculous. Mr.. Ellis may have
made it through ignorance, or he may
have known better and made it will
fully to deceive the people; either
view forfeits our confidence in his
fitness for this work.
We suggest that this proposition be
rejected, and then tnat We get the
people together and ascertain what
the majority want; then settle all
moral, legal, financial and economic
questions to our satisfaction as a
community-at least to the satisfac-
ton of a majority-and then the rati-
ication at the polls will be a mere
formality.
We can then put the matter in the
and business men and buy what we
want with absolute assurance of get
ting the worth of our money.

A FRIENDLY GROCER
Dropped a Valuable Hint about Coffee,

For about eight years." writes a
Mich. woman, Il suffered from nerv-
ousness-part of the time down in
bed with prostration.
Sometimes l would get numb and
it would be almost impossible for me
to speak for a spell. At others, !
would have sever bilious attacks,
and my heart would lutter painfully
when 1 would walk fast or sweep.
Il have taken enough medicine to
start a small drug store, without any
benefit. One evening our grocer was
asking Husband how 1 was and he
urged that l quit coffee and use Pos
tum, SO he brought home a pkg. and
I made it according to directions and
we were both delighted with it.
$50 we quit coffee altogether and
used only Postum. l began to get
better in a months time and look like
another person, the color came back
to my checks, / began to sleep well,
my appetite was good and | com
menced to take on flesh and become
interested in everything about the
house.
Finally I was able to do all my
own work without the least sign of
my old trouble. | am SO thankful for
the little book, The Road to Well
ville.' 1t has done me SO much good.
| haven't taken medicine of any kind
for six months and don't need any.

The Local Paper.

The local village paper is a neces-
sity. Nothing can take its place. 1t
advocates and stands as the exponent
of improved conditions as no other
paper can that receives only the in
cidental happenings sent in by a
local correspondent. The city has
its own local affairs to attend to
and it seeks to give only enough
vicinity news to catch subscribers in
adjacent towns. The local paper,
your paper, stands as an advocate
for your interests, because what is
your interest is the interest of the
paper. The business men, keen
minded, wide awake, understands
this, for in their advertising they use
the local paper, that which reaches
their constituency, and is kept and
read by them. What becomes of the
average daily paper? 1t is read or
carelessly looked through, and then
thrown away. What becomes of the
weekly paper, the home paper? 1t
is read and re-read, and then taken
home to the family, where it is per-
used by its every member, and dis
cussed and, yes, criticised. Few
daily papers are given that distinc-
ton. Get a daily paper for the tele-
graph news, but get the best. In
these days of rapid communication
the large cities issue the best papers,
because they can afford to do so,
and the better papers are as easily
o~btainable as the smaller papers of
the small cities. Make the local pa
per your paper. Send in all little
matters of news you know, and re-
member that it is your local paper
that seeks to be a member of the
large family in your community.
