County Ticket
VOTE THE TICKET STRAIGHT

In the closing DAYS Of the campaign un-
scrupulous methods are being resorted to
in order to influence votes in favor Of par
ticular candidates on the Democratic
ticket and the Enterprise would earnestly
warn its readers to pay no heed to any
stories that may be sprung without sub
sanitation at this late date.
Every candidate on the Republican ticket
is worthy Of the support Of every voter.
They were chosen only after careful
scrutiny Of their character and their abil-
ity to fill the position to which they were
nominated. There is not candidate
upon either the Republican national. state
or cot nty tickets that is pledged to any
man. corporation or policy excepting such
as may be laid down in the party plat
form. They are clean. capable citizens
and we urge you to
VOTE THE TICKET STRAIGHT.
Let the Democrats do the scratching.
Every candidate on the Republican tick
ell is entitled to and should receive the
vote Of every Republican at the polls. and
II they do the entire ticket will be elected.
VOTE THE TICKET STRAIGHT.

Jane Eyre is among the attrac-
t 'ons exploited by Rowland and Clif-
ford. The dramatic version OF this
famous novel is an original concep-
ton OF the playwright, Peter G. Plat

than the book. II is presented by an
exceptional company that is winning
the hearty approval of audiences ev-
erywhere. This intensely human
story has been popular for SO many
lovers OF good literature. They will

ADVERTISE EMENT'
Statement,

Some absurd rumors as to the attituGc
Of the Democratic candidates for candi-
dates for commissioners on certain mat
ters that might come before them, have
been injected into this campaign. 1t has
been stated that If elected we will spend
large sum Of money in altering and
adding to the Court House. 1t is suffi-
cisnt answer to say that no considerable
sum could be spent for this purpose with
out submitting the question Of issuing
bonds to vote Of the people. and We
pledge ourselves to strictly comply with
the law in this matter and that no addi-
ton to the court house will be built un-
less the people should direct it at spec
ial election.
1t has been stated that we would. Il
elected. grant county retail liquor licenses
at points outside Of Incorporated towns
Those who know US know that this 10 alb
surd, but for the benefit Of those who
have not personal acquaintance with
US we pledge ourselves not to grant
licenses at any place or under any cir
cumstances.
1t is entirely probably that other can
ards may be sprung upon US that we viii
not have opportunity to answer. To for
stall any such rumors we desire to cal
the attention of the voters Of Otero Coun-
ty that we are both old residents of this
county and have considerable property
interests here. and are. in common witt
the substantial citizens of the county
deeply interested in its welfare and the
welfare Of its people.

Political Pointers

The Democratic governors left
Colorado in debt for ordinary run
ming expenses. The Republican ad-
ministrations have paid off these
Democratic deficits and have $25o,ooo
in the treasury.
This is the difference between a
government by incompetent political
hacks and government by business
men.
The greatest danger to Republican
, success at the coming election is in
the indifference and apathy of lazy or
busy Republicans. If there was ever
time when every Republican should
do his full duty on election day that
time will arrive on November 3rd
next. Your vote may save the day.
Don't think of failing to cast 1t.
Isn't it astonishing that the Demo-
cratic orators and papers are making
no attacks upon the corporations!
Is it because the sixteen lawyers on
the Democratic ticket are nearly all
of the corporation brand? Or is it
because of he liberality OF the Stand
ard Oil campaign contribution!
Colorado in 1904 cast 243,o63 votes
and has FIVE members in the Nation
al Legislature. Mississippi cast 3d..
e6i votes and has ten members OF
Congress. This is the Democratic
idea of square deal. How do you
like it?
The Republican platform says spe-
cifcally that beet sugar will be pro-
tected. Mr.. Taft says exactly the
same thing. He says so now and he
said so over a year ago. before he
had received the nomination for pres
idcnt The Republican platform and
the candidates mean what they say
and the people of Colorado should
vote accordingly.
Every Republican in Otero County
should appoint himself committee
| of one to see that he gets to the polls
on election day and see that his
neighbors do likewise:
The Republican party in Colorado
is making an open, clean fight, based
upon a splendid record OF promises
fulfilled and deserves the support of
every citizen who believes in good
government and square deal.
1t is unfortunate. but true, that the
Democratic party in this campaign is
apparently relying entirely on cal
umny and misrepresentation to win
votes.

RIGHT Kind of Advertising.

Not long since in a western town
of some 1000 population the mer-
chants had an illustration of what can
be done by judicious advertising. The
proprietor of clothing and dry goods
store decided that he would add a
grocery department. This was met
with the disapproval of other mer-
chants in the town, particularly the
grocers. They combined and com
menced an advertising campaign di-
rected chiefly against him. Small
space was used. They were greatly
surprised one morning to find that the
object of their attention had in the
daily paper a four-page advertisement.
They were further surprised when the
weeklies OF the surrounding towns
came out with one and two-page ad.
vertisements, offering wonderful bar
gains and to pay the railroad fare of
those who would purchase a certain
amount of goods. For miles around
the town large posters announced the
great sale. Other merchants OF the
town looked upon the venture as fool
lsh, and predicted that there was
something wrong, failure or fire in
sight. Neither happened, but in two
weeks time the enterprising store
keeper, who advertised to sell %
pounds Of granulated sugar for u dol.
lar, when the jobbing price was more
than five dollars hundred, provided
the purchaser ordered other goods, did
a business amounting to more than
$4,000, or as much business as ne
average small storekeeper doer IN a
year, Not alone that, but he Is still
doing the biggest business in the town.
He advertised rightly.

THE LAWS OF COMMERCE.
Consumption of Products in Accord
ance with Fixed Principles.

1t is useless to fight for innovations
and reforms that are not based upon
logic and sustained by sound princi-
pies. There is too much of the super
fetal in evidence in the work of many
who undertake to better commercial
conditions. The scientist knows bet
ter than to ignore the laws of gravity
in his calculations. The reformer is
foolish to set about his work with an
idea of disobeying any known natural
law. He is sure to meet with failure
There are conditions in the CONNER
cial world that must be observed Trade
is in accordance with requirements
of the people. and these requirements
are according to other relative cir
cumstances. AS our civilization ad-
vances new demands manifest them
selves. While hundred years ago
the people were satisfied with certain
commodities, it was because other
things known to us did not exist. The
expenses of living keep relatively the
same. We have statistics that show
the average requirements of a certain
class of people. We know to GER
tainty how the average runs. We can
not tell how much a single man will
spend for living during year, but We
do know the average that each in a
thousand or two thousand men will
spend, classifying them as to occu-
patton and earning capacity. There
fore it stands to reason that in every
community the amount of trade is in
accordance with the population and
the classes of people composing the
community. 1t is useless to argue that
trade can be increased by certain
methods. A certain merchant by ad-
vanced methods may increase his
trade, but as he does so some one else
loses proportionately. Reformers and
business builders should bear these
facts in mind, and not get their wires
crossed"

1'HAW'S WIFE AND MOTHER
GIVE TESTIMONY TO SHOW THAT
HE WAS INSANE.
Defense Made Good Progress During
Fridays Session of Court-Je-
rome Springs Surprise.

New York City. "A series of
surprises brought the Thaw trial near
crisis Friday. Both Evelyn Thaw,
the wife, and Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother of the defendant, We're on the
witness stand and just as the former
was about to relate anew the story Of
her life as she told it to Thaw in
Paris in 1903, District Attorney Je.
rome suggested that in the interest OF
public morals all persons save those
Immediately interested in the case
should be excluded from the court
room during the recital of what he
termed "a horrible tale"
The motion included the represent
atives of newspapers as we'll as the
public generally. Attorney Martin
w. Littleton, of the defense, Joined
in 1t to shield the young woman from
hundreds of curious eyes and said
that so far as the constitutional right
to an open hearing was concerned, he
was ready to waive that point in any
manner the court might suggest. Pro-
ceedings were suspended until next
Monday, when Justice Bowling will
announce his decision.
Mr. Jerome attacked the witness in
a new way and by standing immedi-
ately in front of her and objecting
to practically every question which
Mr.. Littleton asked in his preliminary
examination as to her early history,
cut the young woman's recital from
the effective narrative form it as
sumed last year into hundred frag-
ments. Many of the objections were
sustained by the court When these
failed, the prosecutor was ever ready
with others until the testimony fairly
was torn into shreds and had lost
entirely the many little touches of hui
man interest which were a part of
the narrative last year, when no OBJ
jections We're offered.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Confidence in the Future Grows Nor,
Rapidly than Current
Business.

New York City. r.. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Progress is slow, but each week
brings a little Improvement and con
fidence in the future grows more rap
idly than current transactions. The
best feature is the broader mark et
for commercial paper. Loans in mer.
camille channels are now negotiated
freely at little more than the normal
rate, facilitating postponed undertake
ings and making collections more
prompt.
Manufacturers increase production
gradually, conservatism being gener
al, and many Industries are not op.
Grating more than 80 per cent of their
full capacity. Readjustment of wages
is still contemplated by many produc
ers before machinery will be started
Several more steel plants have re.
sumed and others will start up next
week.
