 ANOTHER LOCATION.

Alamogordo, N. NJ, Nov. 9, 1908. Ed. News: Once more kindly change the papers address from Tularosa to this place. We have camped here for the winter-too much Mexicans and whisky in Tularosa; 500 popula- tion, 70 per cent Mexican and three saloons. Saw more drunk en men there in one day than 1 saw in Arkansas in three years. This IS a beautiful little city of 4000 population. Mexicans are compelled to keep in one part of the city, and not near so many of them as at Tularosa. The eli- mate so far is simply delightful, and they tell us that 1t IS this way all winter. It is trifle high for us and we sometimes find 1t a little hard to breathe, but they tell us we will soon get over that.
 Give our kindest regards to all Springdale friends, and as soon as we can get our bearings we will give them, through your valued paper, brief description of this locality. We both trust that you survived Bryan's defeat, but think of that wasted dollar, Hope that Mrs. s. and the kid are enjoying peace, health and bright visions of the future.

ters-in short, usurp all the functions
of the directors except the raising OF

L am not opposing proper govern
ment supervision, but we have much
more than that. and if it be true, as
l devoutly believe. that the railroad

equally true that politics should not
be in the railroad? Yet the way to
political preferment is to devise some
new scheme to harass the railroad. and
in many places we are subject to the

The following by President E. P.
Ripley of the Santa Fe system dealing
with the profits in the railroad bust
ness and the embarrassments which
have been thrown about the roads was
lately sent out from Chicago:
Declaring that the margin of profit
to the railroads on their carrying
business is precariously low at best,
and pleading for square deal and a
chance to live Mr.. F. p. Ripley, pres
ident of the Santa Fe Railroad COM

against the proposed increase ins

iSdiHSl tHe proposed increase 1ns
freight rates.
Mr. Ripley says legislation against
the railroads has come to be actual
persecution and that if it continues
the people will have put to them the
alternative of allowing the railroads a
fair profit on their investment, as in
the case of other business enterprises,
or of having the government take over
the railroads and run them in it's own
way. The text of the letter is:
The Atchison company has been in
existence something more than twelve
years, during which time it's owners.
(stock and bondholders) have received
an average of about four per cent on
its capitalization of approximately
100000, 900, and there is book sur
plus of about s2O,OOO,OOO, which is
equal to about four per cent more
Mr.. Barlow thinks this is a wonderful
showing and asks what has been done
with the gigantic surplus
If one of his constituents having a
capital of $4,000 had in twelve years
been able to take $4,000 out of the
/ business for dividends and have a like
surplus would that be 'gigantic?' The
proportions are the same in both
eases.
But, in answer to Mr.. Barlow's
question 1 may say that this gigantic
surplus has every cent of it, and more
than $100,000.000 of borrowed money
besides, been put into improvements
and betterments in the effort to re-
duce costs and afford the public better
| facilities.
"One year ago our critics We're ask
ing why we did not spend money fast
er; why we did not double our in
vestment; why we could not furnish
enough track; enough power. enough
cars. Now they ask why we did not
keep our money, and say that we
ought to have foreseen the lean pc
Rod
THE facts are that, even on the
enormous business of last year, the
margin of profit made by the railroads
in general was not large enough for
safety, and even with a continuance of
heavy traffic an increase in rates
would be necessary if the roads are to
retain their credit and ability to Gre
! ate the facilities which the public de-
mands.
The Atchison is surpassed as to its
physical condition BY few roads in the
country. but l could spend three times
the amount of the gigantic surplus to
excellent advantage in creating facil-
tiles for the use of the public and as
much more in supplying transporta-
ton to regions that badly need it. But
with governmental regulation both
state and national, which is wholly
directed toward limiting railroad rev.
enues and increased railroad expenses
it is small wonder that it is hard to
borrow money.
The simple fact is that capital has
been content with smaller returns in
the railroad business than in any other
venture, because of its security. That
security has been, and is being.
threatened, and railroads have been
and are being singled out for a treat
ment which is called regulation but
which is really persecution. And the
public, which is, after all, the govern
ment will soon have to decide wheth
er it will permit the railroads to earn
approximately return equal to that
earned in other enterprises or whether
1t viii operate them by public agen-
cies.

The Methodist Sale.

At the Methodist vestry Thursday
afternoon and evening and Friday after
noon a fair and sale were held. The
several booths arranged about the room
were decorated with combinations Of
white and other colors, each having its
Individual scheme, and the general effec
was very pretty and attractive.
There were booths for the sale re
spectively of aprons, food, ice cream
candy, Larkin's soap, and large one in
the middle of the room devoted to mis-
celaneous articles. All of them had &
good run of custom.
Thursday evening there was music by
Carl Mason's orchestra, and the attend
ance was especially large.
The net proceeds were very satisfac
tory, and the Ladies' Aid Society undeI
whose auspices the affair was given il
to be congratulated upon its success.

Holds Six Town Offices.

IL has been deemed by the newspapers
worthy Of note that in one town in the
state man was elected to four offices,
namely, clerk, treasurer, collector and
constable. In Oxford County there are
several instances where one man holds
the positions of clerk and treasurer of a
town, and it has been nothing unusual,
indeed il has certain advantages, for one
man to be both treasurer and collector.
Hartford, however, is the only Oxford
County town which breaks the record
by putting one man into six offices. As
will be seen by the returns from the
Hartford town election of March 9th,
published elsewhere in this issue, Ten
Brock w. Stetson is there credited with
four offices. The Democrats blank for
return. however, did not include the
minor town offices, and 1t is learned from
other sources that Mr.. Stetson holds two
of those, so that iu all he has the offices
of clerk, treasurer, collector, constable,
member Of the school committee, and
truant officer. 1t is certainly mark of
confidence to be selected for so many
positions of public service in town of
$50 inhabitants, which is the number
given Hartford by the last census.

Attempted Suicide in Ills Cell.
ITALIAN SENTENCED TO STATE PRISON
DIDN'T WANT TO GO.

Ostino Paparato, who was on Friday
sentenced to two years In state prison
for assault with intent to kill, that night
hung himself in his cell. He got cord
out of the side of his hammock, tied 1t to
the side of the cage and around his neck
and threw himself on to 1t. His cell
mate, Onofrio Montisano, discovered
him, and as he of course had no knife to
cut the rope, had to lift the man up and
unite the cord, which he succeeded with
some difficulty in doing.
An electric bell had only the day be-
fore been installed in Jailer Farrar's bed
room, with button in the guard room,
where trusty prisoner always sleeps.
Montisano pounded and made so much
noise that the man in the guard room
heard him, and pressed the button.
Jailer Farrar was soon at hand, and
telephoned for a physician. Paparato
was even then in such condition that he
had little pulse, but he came out all
right.
Jealousy was the cause of the act for
which Paparato was sentenced. A
woman who had lived with him for some
years it seems tired of him, and had been
married to another man by justice of
the peace. Paparato went to their house,
and in the temporary absence of the hus-
band slashad the woman in the throat
with a razor, inflicting wounds which
did not prove serious.
