cratic governor of Alabama has called out

to force non-union men into the places

MIR. Debs then reviewed all the incon-
sistencies of the democratic candidate, as
a candidate, pointing out the reconciliation
Of the morally clean Bryan with the cor
rupt bosses OF Tammany; with Roger Sulii-
van, 'Fingy' Corners and Charles Muir
ply. Driving these incidents home with
abundant wit and keen sarcasm, Mr.. Debs
secured evidence of wholesome appreciation.
1t was with some surprise that a large
part OF the audience first saw the noted
socialist. He stepped out on the stage at
tired in a sack coat of the summer vari-
ETY., with a Jack London shirt and belt.
The applause was deafening. "Debs, our
Debs,' 'Debs for president" resounded
from every part of the room. G. c.. Porter
had introduced him as Eugene V. Debs,
our Gene" This took the audience off its
feet, and as far back as the reserved seat
section people were on chairs, waving hats,
handkerchiefs, coats and umbrellas.
Half Hour of EpigrRms.
STOPPING over as though attempting TO
disguise his great length. Debs: the con-
fidential talker and lecturer, opened his
address by a half hour of epigrams. He
spun them off In a way which would leave
Elbert Hubbard at the half mile post and
Richard Garlic at the flag. Here are a few
of them:
when a capitalist advertises for hands
that's what he wants-he don't want a head
as he has one OF his own"
The capitalists are in the upper class
because they are on your backs"
Some one must give you a job and take
all you produce. or you will be In awfu
condition"
Republicans are the big capitalists
democrats are the little ones, viewing theil
recent conventions, but l never saw a littl'
capitalist who was not willing to become
a big capitalist, and what is the differenc,
whether you are eaten by mosquitoes or de
voured by alligators?"

we are going away without them"

This is a most fiattering reception, espe-

into the faces OF 5000 people who had paid

It was the common belief that Mr.. Debs
would paint whole townships red when
he addressed the big crowd at the Audi
torium. which included hundreds of
yomen-but not for Debs in Omaha.
Those who expected him to soak Mr.
Gompers out of fthe earth with gasoline
were disappointed. Debs dealt out a few
hard ones to President Roosevelt and got
a few shouts from leather lungs; he re-
told the story OF Judge Taft and the in
functions, and got an outbufst; then he
turned 10 Mr.. Bryan. He denounced the
democratic party bitterly because OF the
elements Of which It is composed. The so
oiallsts psid a high tribute to Mr.. Bryan

GATEWOOD SQUELCHED
AT BOND ISSUE MEETING.

Judge w. w. Gatewood appeared
at the bond issue meeting at the
court room last night, and raised his
voice against the issue of the bonds
for public improvements. He was
the first, last and only man in Ros-
well to speak in public meeting ag-
ainst the issue. and he was complete
ly squelched by the speakers in ia
vor of municipal progress.
The speakers of the evening were

Judge Gatewood was the only man
to speak against the improvements.
He admitted that the bonds were go

RAILROAD THREATENS TO
CLOSE SMALL STATIONS.

Washington, Feb. 20.-A PROPOSE
tion very serious to many people re-
siding in the vicinity of small rail-
road stations throughout tae country
is presented to the Interstate Com-
merce Commission in the form of a
petition in which the Wabash Rail-
road Company asks for an extension
of time in putting into effect tae nine
hour law which applies to employees
who direct the movement of trains.
1t is declared in the petition that un-
less the order of extension is made,
either by the Commission or by con-
gress, the o-ly alternative will be the
closing Of a large number of small
stations of the Wabash. The compa-
ny says it has not been able thus far
to secure competent operators in
such numbers as to enable it to com
pfv with the act. II is pointed out
that in order 10 comply with the law
II will be necessary to transfer the
operators now in the employ of the
company and close many of the
smaller stations.

INJUNCTION AGAINST
RAILROAD DISSOLVED.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-Judge Ball to-
day dissolved the Injunction against
the Illinois Central railroad granted
to Stuyvesant Fish last October. This
decision is in favor of Hartman
The decision released $50. .231 shares
of stock from the effects of the in
junction granted TO Fish and allows
New Jersey, which controls that
stock, to vote at the annual meeting
of stockholders to be held in this
city March 25. The opinion of Judge
Ball was quite extended, amounting
to about 10000 words. After citing
the history of the case and going at
considerable length into the various
claims and assertions of both sides,
the court said there was but one
ground upon which the bill could be
maintained. IF the Union Pacific has
no right to buy, hold or own stock in
either the Illinois Central or the Sc
curities Company, or either of them
is intrudi1g in this election wholly
without right, then l think the bona
fide stockholders, without alleging ir-
reparable injury, may ask the court
to throw them out. This brings us to
the question, is there in the public
statutes of this state a law prohibiting
the voting by foreign corporations of
stock in a domestic corporation, which
stock it purchased and paid for and
holds under express power granted to
it by the state of it's creation" The
court declared that corporations per
Sc are not barred from using and
holding the stock of other corpora
tions, and said that the fact that the
purchaser might be a foreign corpo-
ration and the stock that of domes-
tic corporation could not change the
rule of law. The court denied that
there is any rule of common law pro-
hibiti1g one corporation from holding
stock in another corporation when
the first corporation has in it's CHAR
ter express power to do SO. The opin-
ion further says that the Union Pa
cific and Illinois Central are not com
peting lines.

BOND ISSUE PARADE
A GRAND SPECTACLE.

Nineteen automobiles, decorated
with appropriate banners and load
ed for the greater part with voters,
took part in the Bond Issue Leagues
parade at four O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon over many of the streets of
Roswell. Additional to the motor cars
were the fire department and mock
fire brigade which showed 'how the
department will look if the bonds fail

cession was the big autobus of the
City Livery and Transfer Co, filled
by the N. NJ. NJ. /. band, and at the
other end of the pageant was the
City Band, the whole making such a
spectacle as was never seen in Ros-
well before. The demonstration show
ed two things, that there are a great
many people in Roswell alive to the
importance of the bond issue, and
that Roswell can make as good a
showing with its pfogressivness as
any city of its size in the United
States.
The procession attracted general
attention, and no doubt did much
good in stimulating interest in to-
days election.
One accident, unimportant in its
results, occurred during the parade.
As the procession passed the home
of G. l. WHY'S on North Hill, it
frightened the horse of Mrs. Harry
Jaffa, which was hitched in front of
the house. and the animal overturned
the buggy, without damaging it.

not necessarily when the vote is ta-
ken. He offered to bear the brunt of
the blame if there is anything wrong,
legally, in the proceedings leading
up to the present election.
Judge Gatewood gave figures to
show how the taxes would be increas-
ed, and said that while we would not
have to pay the bonds, our children
and children's children would, and it
was a shame to vote such mortgage
on our posterity.
He was answered logically on ev-
cry point by Judge Richardson and
various others, but more successfully
by K. s. Woodruff. who played at Mr.
Gatewood's own game, repartee, and
brought him before the meeting in a
ndicrous light and turned the laugh
on the dissenter, and putting the
whole gathering in a good humor,

ed, Its your meeting, boys, go ahead
