NATIONAL BANK
NORTH AMERICAN
Not Able To Liquidate'

Special to the Fitzgerald Enterprise.
New York, Jan. 27.-As q cul-
mination to the futile struggle
lasting three months to preserve
the National bank of North Ameri-
ca, President Havmeyer and direc-
tors were compelled this morning
to announce that the bank would
not be able to liquidate. Hav-
meyer attributed the failure of his
efforts to rehabilitate the credit OF
the institution to the persistent
circulation of rumors that the bank
was about to go into receivership.
In his lengthy statement the presl-
dent speaks bitterly Of rccklcssness
of gossip which destroyed con1id-
ence on the part Of depositors who
had been loyal all through the
panic.

| FROM VIC MOuIUIAo OUSofVEEs
The distillers and brewers of this
country have been suddenly
awakened to the fact that if some
thing is not done to check prohi.
bition they will soon be without
means of distributing their wares.
They are getting busy. A few
years ago we had the pre>id mt of
the brewers association quoted as
saying that if the business was to
continue to flourish the boys must
be learned to drink and they were
seeking every means that would
create appetite and open q new
place for dispensing whiskey and
beer. They have now turned he.
formers and want to put into effect
d ''model license" law. They pro.
pose to cut out dives aud all small
saloons and make barrooms very
respectable places. They remind
us of the whiskey people of Pensa'
cola who reformed so suddenly
just before an election and were
willing to close their places at 8
o'clock and have the license raised
two or three hundred per cent.
We are also refunded that when
the prohibition sentiment subsid-
ed in Pensacola the saloon men
sneaked back to the council and
asked that they be put back on
the old dive basis.
The whiskey and beer interests
are spending money freely to carry
on a campaign of education. They
held a national convention in
Louisville this week and the daily
papers have been giving good first
page space to the proceedings of
this convention. One of the nota.
BILE features of the convention was
Il freak preacher who was stood up
on the platform and allowed to
harangue. He jollied the whiskey
distillers and told them they were
the real country savers and soul
savers after all. He wanted them
to allow the church to come in
with them and share in the great
reform work Of the distilleries and
the breweries. He declared that
prohibition had about destroyed
real Christianity and if the whis-
key men didn't come to the rescue
there would be nothing left of the
c1urch-or words to this effect.
Another move by the whiskey
interests is to carry on q campaign
Of education through the press.
They have opened press bureau
in New York and are sending out
pages Of stereotyped matter which
shyws what a bad thing prohibition
has been for Maine etc. Like
other bureaus of information and
education it is there purpose to
work the newspapers for space,
free. They only furnish the copy
Or the plates.
Itlook very much like the rum
interests of the whole coutry are
scared and we are of the opinion
! that they have real cause for fear.
They have waited rather too longs
already to start their reform move.

a change of parties. 1t heroizes not
ize any man until after ne is dead.
In Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft, as indi-
vidual men, it sees two very well
matched Americans; attractive, up
right, of patriotic intention. But, be
hind them stand two forces; in the
one case the Republican party, honey
combed with abuses, clasping its
Doodle to its bosom; in the other
case, the Democratic party, rent by
faction, but susceptible to impress
sion; its hands clean and empty. A
change of parties, if only for the sake
of the change, should commend it
self to thoughtful conservatives, as
it commends itself to US, and we
think it will do this.
Mr.. Taft, however, will take the
field, greatly handicapped by the two
horses he will have to ride, gaily-
decked in the colors of Socialism,
fantastic and spectacular, the Teddy
Roosevelt h~obby-horse, and the old
line Republican warehouses Federal
ism and High-Tariff, newly capari-
soned by High-Finance.
Can he straddle both of them? Can
he pra1ce on Republicanism in the
East and on Populism in the West?
Under which king, Bezonian; not any
of Roosevelt and Rooseveltism,
a satisfactory arrangement in the box
office with the Wall Street crowd
through the easy medium of Brother
Charlie and Brother Horace, both
great capitalists; or fidelity to the
Big Stick and the White House poll

revised and the Republican Senate
reduced to obedience? Mr.. Taft will

find, before the campaign is half
over, that he cannot ride two steeds,
running in opposite directions. Re-
pu~blicanism and Reform are i~rrecon-
cilable terms and a-ntagonfstic guam
titles.
Mr.. Roosevelt pretends to stand
for some Of the Bryan policies. Mr..
Taft will pretend to the same thing.
But, whom are we to believe and fol-
low, Mr.. Taft, with the Republican
party, author of all the abuses and
friend of all preferred classes, or

THE FIGHTING MEANS
MORE DEMOCRATS.

The fireworks in a Democratic
meeting at Albuquerque Saturday
night is taken as a danger sign by
Territory, the Morning Journal. The
incident is pointed to as a warning
to Republicans that the Democratic
party is growing. The Journal says:
1.-TWO years ago to start a fight in
a Democratic meeting anywhere il
New Mexico outside of the Pecos Val
ley would have been as difficult as
melting a riot in a cemetery; to
have dreamed of a free-for-all fight
for control of the party machinery
in Bernalillo county would have been
possible only with the aid of opium.
"In the first place, there wasn't
any party machinery, and in the Sec
ond place, it would ave e worth
nothing if 1t had existed. The Demo
cratic party not only locally, but in
all this section of New Mexico. was
in a condition of complete paralysis.
1.-The paralytic state is gone. For
this the Democrats should be thank
full; and for the same eason Repub-
hcals who care for the interest of
their party should take a long and
serious look at the situation. Demo
Gratis always fight. 1t is one of the
cardinal principles of the party. When
there is no one else to fight, they
fight among themselves. That there
is life enough in h Democratic par
ty to start a riot in an Albuquerque
precinct meeting is a fairly reliable
sign that the Republican situation is
serious. That the Democratic party |
in this county may split into frag- |
ments does not renJer the Indication
any less serious from the Republican
viewpoint. There are several Repub-
lean splits in New Mexico beside |
which the little crack in the local
Democracy on Saturday night sizes |
up like a pin scratch in the Grand
Canyon"

Clovis Defeat More LamentabIe.

Clovis Defeat More Lamentable.
Some of the base ball boys state
that the defeat sustained by the Ros-
well team at Clovis was harder to
bear than was first reported. Their
story of the last half of the ninth
inning is quite interesting to the
fans. When the last half opened, the
score stood four to three il favor of
Roswell. Two men were put out and
there were two strikes on the third
|i5atter, when he got hit. 1t was then
that Cavit passed two men, filling the
bases. Neither Cavit nor the umpire
could see the plate. but the umpire
sent the batters down just the same.
The Roswell boys state that prettier
strikes were never thrown than those
by Cavit, that were called balls. With
the bases full, Wynne was put in
the box; but he had no better luck
than Cavit, and one more man was
walked, pushing in the tying score.
Soon another run came in on errors.
Although they don't like the Clio
Wis umpire very much, the Roswell
boys + loud in their praise of the
people of Clovis on ccoun of the
way they treated the visitors. The
Clovis team is backed by a $500 sub
scr1ptio1 by the business men. Every.
body in town was out to the game.
