If the saloon men wish to continue
doing business in Roswell, the best
thing they can do is to line VI with
the officers and the advocates of good
government and help to suppress all
attempts to carry on gambling either
secretly or openly in this city. Public
sentiment demands that gambling be
prohibited. 1t mas been run always in

the saloon men are foolish enough TO
encourage gambling, the tail will go

to help suppress the gamblers.

the new city commission did not turn
out all the old appointees of the old
city council and appoint entirely new

but because of the evident politics
that has been played in many of the
appointments. In this possibly the cit
liens are too harsh. They see men of
about the same type filling the posi-
tions and judge that nothing but pol
itics rules.
The new commissioners have been
forced to select their employees from
the material that is presented and the
material that is presented is about of
the same old kind. The benefit that
will come under the commission is
largely that all under the commission
ers are merely clerks and bookkeeperS.
without authority to fix policies or do
anything but carry out Instructions.
The real question of the efficiency Of
the system as compared with the old
city council system will only be deter
mined by trial. When opportunity for
graft is removed the worst CRATER will
be honest and efficient. 1t has been
the contention for some years of the
Bureau of Municipal Research of New
York city. the organization that has
been most active in fighting corrupt
methods in that city. that it is not
change of employees and officials that
is needed in American cities. but rather
the removal of opportunity for graft
wherever possible and the holding OF
a club in the shape of a Watchful eye
over all others forcing them to be hon

Just now in Des Moines attention
is centered on the police department
and the question of the social evil and
the wide open town. Mr.. Hamery who
was given the department of public
safety, is in favor of enforcing the
laws. He takes the view of the mat
ter that Roosevelt took when Roose-
welt was police commissioner of New
York. He believes that lit is his busi-
ness tc enforce the laws whatever
they are arguing that if the people do
not like the laws enforced they can re-
peal them. Hamery takes the view
that the, Iowa statutes settle all ques-
tions of public policy as to the social
evil and the lid" and that it is his
business to enforce the statutes. If he
can appoint the chief of police the
lid" Will go on in Des Moines as
tight as bees wax" But the other
commissioners seem not disposed to let
him make the appointment. AS things
now stand Hamery's hands seem to be
tied. Friends of Hamery declare that
he will come out on top. They believe
that if he can't have chief of police
who is with him he will buckle on a
revolver and enforce the laws him
self by leading raids in person.

Iii,

Washington, April 9.-Mark H. Davis
of Shelby, o., who has been appointed
special agent Of the department of
commerce to Investigate the wheat and
flour trade abroad, has a good job cut
out for him.
The Investigation to be made is very
comprehensive. AS our market for
wheat and -four is mostly in Europe
Mr.. Davis will begin there, sailing in a
short time. He will visit the leading
wheat and -four markets in that coun-
try, and will make inquiries of dealers
and millers about the demand for
American wheat and flour, and what
/. objections there are, IL any. to them.
He will also look into the operation oe
tariffs on our export trade. consider
ing for instance whether the differ
ences in the duty on wheat has any
effect on importations of flour and vice
versa. Local mercantile conditions will
also be looked into. This includes the
question of packing, which in other
lines of trade. is a serious question
and has affected the demand for Amer
lean goods abroad.
Part OF the investigation of great in
terest to Minneapolis millers. will be
about the brands of flour they turn
out, which have become standard thru
out the world. The inquiry along this
line VIII be as TO whether the brands
are being maintained up to the stand
ard. and whether any of them are
being forged or initiated so as to de-
ceive European buyers.
Charges that limitations have been
put on the market have been made.

Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora, April 9.-Dr. HI. w. Emeny,
an osteopath of this city, is a patient
at Emergency hospital, seriously
wounded. He was shot in the breast at
an early hour this morning by Edward
NuckoJs, a prominent citizen, while
attempting to gain access to the
Nuckolls home. Considerable mystery
surrounds the affair, and the reason
for Emeny's presence about the prem
ises at that hour of the morning has
not vet been explained. Citizens in
the east end of town were awakened
by several shots at a. m, but did not
know until morning that some one had
been wounded.
The home of Edward Nuckolls has
been under quarantine because the
children were supposed to have scar
let fever, and Mr.. Nuckolls had not
been staying at home. Last night,
however, he learned that the children
were ill with whooping cough, and
being concerned about them, he went
to the house, intending to remain.
About midnight he was awakened by
a rap at the door, and when he re-
sponded he was met by DR.. ENEMY,
who said he had been searching for
him and wished him to go to his Of
flee, where he had some good wine
Mr.. Nuckolls complied, and after a
short time excused himself and said he
would go to his store and to bed He
was, apparently, suspicious OF En-
eny's excuse for calling at his home,
and after going to the office secured a
revolver and returned to the house.
One and half hours later, Emeny
again appeared at the Nuckolls home,
and Nuckols who was on guard, op-
ened the door and began shooting. En-
eny turned and fled, and Nuckolls fol-
lowed long enough to empty his re-
yolver at him He did not know until
morning that one of the shots had talk
en- effect. Emeny was shot in the left
breast above the heart. The attending
physician, Dr. Morse, said at noon to-
day that he was unable to determine
the outcome of the wound.
No arrests have been made, and 1t is
not probable that there will be, as
public sympathy is entirely with Mr..
Nuckolls.
