Touch Sense Developed

Mr.. Volker's mental capabilities
were remarkable. His sense of touch
was so acute that he was able to move
around his store and lay his hand
upon anything customer wanted.
He often attended the store himself
when his sons We're absent. He
could tell the quality or variety of
leather by mere touch.
So perfect did his senses of touch
and hearing become that he was able
to distinguish various denominations
of silver or gold money. The ring Of
a dime on the counter told him the
difference between it and any other
coin He could even distinguish, by
the different designs, Canadian or
other foreign money from the United
States currency
He always signed his own checks
and communications and his admin
istration of his business was so per-
feet that few of the houses with
which he dealt or shoemakers to
whom he sold knew that his eyes were
sightless

Started In Small Way

He then started in on what he
thought was the next best way of
making his living-that of selling
the things that shoemakers needed.
He began by taking his wares around
in a basket, getting around from
shop to shop. He learned to tell one
thing from another, and by dint of
hard work he finally managed to in
crease his trade to such an extent
that it required a baby carriage in
stead of a basket to accommodate his
perambulating stock.
push cart followed the baby car
riage, and later a wagon, fitted with
compartments and constituting a
store on wheels, came to him. BY
that time he felt warranted to so in
business on a larger scale, and even
with his affection as his greatest
handicap, he set himself up rs years
ago in the same neighborhood where

WHAT THE PEOPLE
THINK OF IT

The people of Roswell have rarely
been stirred as they were yesterday by
the action of the City Council in reduc-
ing the license on saloons. The stand
taken by the Record has been indorsed
and applauded by at least two-thirds
Of the voters and all the women, and
in such matters the women of this city
are a power not to be despised. The
move for the loosening Of the shackles
of the saloon men on the City of Ros-
well can have but one end, and that is
the doing away of the saloons in this
city. The fight is but just begun, but
the end is certain

SYLVESTER JOHNSON TALKS
ON THE SALOON QUESTION

Probably the greatest surprise was
created in Roswell yesterday by the
vote of Sylvester Johnson for the re-
duction of the license on the saloons
Mr.. Johnson's entire record, his life
as citizen in this city and his known
views on the subject, had led the peo-
pie to count on his vote against any
reduction in saloon licenses.
Owing to this general view, the
Record asked Mr.. Johnson for a
statement as to why he acted as he
did The Record believes that the
action taken by Mr.. Johnson was the
result of his honest judgment. The
statement given to the Record by Mr..
Johnson is as follows:
Upon a short consideration 1 re-
garded the question of reducing the
saloon license from the same stand
point that | would the reduction of
the tax on any other business in the
city and realize now that it was a
mistake to reduce the license.
81 want to faithfully represent the
people of my ward and city and while
the mistake occurred il the first place
from not giving the matter proper
| will do all in my pow
er to correct it now and hereafter
Il am opposed to liquor and the sa-
loon business in both my personal
and public relations"

A Woman's Opinion.

Editor of The Record - have
read with surprise and forebodings
of the action of the city council upon
the saloon question Women naturally
shrink from taking action on any
question: even of public morals, which
brings them into publicity. But there
are times when they are forced to
protection of their sons and their
daughters.
If this time has now come to us
if this be the time for us to decide
to make Roswell a city without sa-
looms there are thousand wives
and mothers ready and eager to make
the fight; and let US have it all over
soon, once and forever. Some of US
women have fought and won out on
this question elsewhere why not here
and now in Roswell? Among the
councilmen voting for a REDUCTION
of the saloon license / read the
names of several merchants and news

lest evil and temptation come to our
loved ones through our neglect.
