looms to the voters of Roswell two
tor OF this paper having participated
in the convention which adopted the
city Democratic platform feels bound
by that platform to oppose any
change in the present liquor laws of
the city for two years. On matters
not overe by the platform we feel
as free as ave to advocate any
changes that may be deemed wise.
For Instance, a move to abolish the
South Pecos avenue resorts will prob
ably be inaugurated at the next term
of court by Judge Pope, and certainly
the city council can greatly assist
the court without violating any plat
form pledges.
Business, as well as politics, for
bids a bitter saloon fight just at this
time. Still the development of senti-
melt in preparation for voting on
the question later need not cease.
These remarks are made on account
of the action taken by b mems

CITY TO GOVERN ITSELF
AFTER YEARS OF MIsRULE


A special correspondent of the Kan
a City Journal writes from Leaven-
worth, kansas, as follows:
On Tuesday, April z, Leavenworth
will witness one of the most remark
able municipal elections ever held
five commissioners will be elected
without opposition, to replace the
mayor and twelve councilmen. The
election will be a mere formality,
and in all probability very few votes
will be cast.
For yer forty years Leavenworth
has been a victim of political mis-
rule INK the domination of the brew
ing interests, and it was no uncom-
mon event to see 500, 900 spent in
a municipal election. Owing to the
fact that the city was enjoying a rev
enue of 100000 a year from the sa-
oons and gambling houses, the bust
less men, as a rule, refrained from
taking any part in politics, and the
politicians and saloon men had abso-
lutte control of the city.
When Attorney General Jackson
enforced prohibition in Leavenworth
to the extent of enjoining the city
from collecting any from the
saloons or gambling houses, the bust
men began to sit up AID take
notice. When the street lights went
out and the streets and alleys remain
ed unswept for lack of funds, the blu
dences of Decentralization in the city
government became apparent on ev
cry hand and joints were opened up
promiscuously in all parts of the city
and rumors of Doodle filled the air,
the business men began to act.
What Citizens Learned.
Some of the leading citizens met
and discussed the situation. The on
sensus of opinion was that if revenue
could not be derived from the saloons
they should o be allowed to exist.
When it was definitely learned that
no revenue could be derived, the bus
mess men interviewed the mayor and
council, and discovered to their dis
may that although over $5SS, 900 had
bee collected in eight years from
saloons, not a penny of it had
used in public improvements.
The business men also earned that
the municipal debt is $500 900, re
curing $4,000 a month in interest.
The mayor and council told them that
the $4,000 raised annually by taxa
ton was totally inadequate for the
expenses of the city.
A meeting of the business men was
and it was unanimously agreed
that with proper business methods
the city could get along nicely on the
revenue raised by legitimate taxa.
