CITY ATTORNEY SCOTT
HAS A GRIEVANCE

HAS A GRIEVANCE
| To the Editor of the Roswell Record
/ Sir In the editorial column OF
your issue of December 21st you say:
Charles Brown and Mr.. Carper this
morning came to the Record Office
and informed us that a reliable man
positively declared to them that May
torney Scott not to have any gam
bIers arrested for violating the anti
gambling ordinance"
This statement is absolutely false.
While Mayor Stockard may not have
been in sympathy with the ordinance,
he instructed me and Chief of Police
Rascoe to see that it was rigidly en-
forced, and this has been done.
1t is we'll known to the Roswell
public the personal interest 1 took
ordinance, as we'll as the fight in the
last City Convention to uphold it and
the high license ordinance, and your
article places me in a very false atti-
tude, when you recall it was the ord
nance l drew and stood behind it as
City Attorney, ready to enforce all of
its provisions, which resulted il the
closing of every gambling house in
Roswell and paved the way for Ter
ritorial legislation.
To those who know me, it would
hardly seem necessary for me to
state my attitude on this matter, but
for your innuendos and unjust insin'
uatiols.
Again you say: If the city ordinance
is not being enforced there is still
one hope, that the Record has conf
dence enough, etc, etc., in certain
Territorial officials that they win do
all they can to enforce it, is an i'm
piled insi1uation that l have been
derelict in my duty in not prosecut-
ing violations of this ordinance. This
is also false. have prosecuted every
case where the ordinance has been
violated, and stand ready to do so in
the future. and your article is an IN
warranted attack upon me in my Off
cial capacity
Allow me to add Mr. Editor, that
your policy and the manner in which
you nave chosen to agitate and speak
on public questions is not conducive
to the peace of this community. In
your strained efforts to foist your par
ticular ideas. you do not hesitate to
publish unfounded rumor and indulge
in petty personalities and insinua-
tions against individual citizens.
thereby not only placing such pers-
ons in a false light before the public.
but stirring up personal enmities that
are likely at any time to produce Sc
rious results.
If your paper cannot discuss public
questions in the high and dignifed
manner which the people have right
to demand of reputable public jour
nal, it is unworthy of the support of
the people of this community and can
not expect TO retain it Respectfully.
(Signed) K X. SCOTT.
City Attorney

a subordinate position In the city ad-
ministration. kidd Of errand boy as

Little Pig Stayed at Home.

A representative In Congress from
the Wost is fond OF telling Of his
early career as a school teacher In
the rural districts OF Missouri. At
that time II was the custom OF the
country folk TO work out" their
taxes by boarding the teacher" /"
which meant that from time to time
he was supplied from various quar-
ters with food.
One day boy named Tim Moor
head breathlessly sought the
teacher, exclaiming:
Say, teacher. my pa wants TO
know II you like pork1"
Indeed l do. Tim" was the re
ply. Say to your father that there
ls nothing in tho way Of meat that
l like better than pork"
Some time expired. and there was
no pork from Tins father. a fact
that In no way surprised the teacher.
for the old man was known through
out the country as a tight propo-
sition." Nevertheless. one after
noon the teacher took the boy aside
and asked:
How about the pork, Tim. that
your father promised mel"
