men would have been exposed before
the council lac a chance to act.

In trying 10 escape blame for his
own part in the recent violation of
pledges by certain members of the
city council, the editor of the Repub-
fact hat the members of the Demo
cratic party have openly repudiated
the action and compelled the mem
bers of the council to rescind. Still
this is not the end. The Democrats
have also mad up their minds no
longer to submit to control of their
party by men who get their chief
inspi1 alton from the editor of the Re
publican organ and Judge Batemen,
the plant tools of the half-world.

The Democratic city council of
Roswell has reduced the city liquor
license fees for saloons for the ear
1908 from $4,000 per annum to $1,000
This is retrogression that is neither
creditable nor beneficial. High license
and fewer ~aloons are really what is
needed in the Sunshine Territory
Santa Fe New Mexican.
The New Mexican, of course, will
not publish the act that the Demo
Gratis of the city compelled the coun-
Gil to rescind its action AID repudiat-
ed the men who violated their party
pledge. Neither will it mention the
fact that the editor of the local Re-
publican organ voted with the pledge
breakers. The $4,000 license has been
restored in Roswell, and the next
move of the democrats will be to
reduce the number of saloons to zero.

The city council of Roswell passed
an ordinance early in h week reduc-
ing the saloon license from $4,000 to
$1,000. Such a howl up from the

and put in force the $4,000 license
again. The Roswell Record led the

Gossett Gets Fine Well.

Conductor Will Gossett, Of Carls-

has secured a fine well IN his land
four miles southwest of Lakewood.
The flow is 81 inches above the cas-
ing at a depth of SIG feet. The well
is down on the Cottonwood and will
influence others to put down wells,
thus doing much to develop the conn

Say" said conductor on the Coast
line. what is the difference between
a conductor who holds out on the COM
pany and society lady who tries to
beat the railroad company"
We'll, what is the difference?" asked
the commuter.
'I don't know myself replied the
conductor.
Then why do you ask?'
TITS this way continued the con-
ductor. The conductor on most lines
is regarded as thief, and a watch is
set on him to see he does not rob the
company. While the company is pay
ing man to watch him 1t also is pay
ing him to watch a trainload. So you
see the railroad company goes on the
theory that everybody who travels has
the instincts of thief.
"oh, am not saying that there are
no honest men on board these trains.
There are some, especially those who
have to buy commute book. They
are honest.
