CONSERVE
RESOURCES

Washington, Feb. 18.-With view
to conserving the natural resources
of the United States, Canada and Mex
leo, representatives of these govern
ments, in addition to the army OF
leaders in the conservation movement
of this country, gathered here today
in attendance on the North American
Conservation Conference. 1t was call
ed to order by President Roosevelt
and the delegates were received by
tn President in the east room of the
White House before the sessions be-
gan. The President made a brief ad-
dress to the delegates. The confer
rence will he in session two days.
After extending on behalf of the
American people his heartfelt vel
come, the President declared that
nothing augured better for the devel-
opment of the entire continent than
this conference. He said he was anx-
ious to work in harmony for the com
mon good of all instead of having
each country working to get some
thing at the expense of others. "Ulti-
mately," he said, leach aof us will
profit fmme measurably if instead of striv
ing tor advance by trampling down
others, each strives to advance TO-
gether for the common advancement.

"Plain Statement of Facts"

/ suppose that everyone in Roswell
and vicinity is aware of the fact that
there is a war and cut prices on gro
ceries. l want to say to the grocery
trade that l have been in the grocery
business in Roswell for about eleven
years and if / was to divide my clear
profits that / made during the eleven
years among all my customers that
have traded with me, that it would be
so little that they would hardly notice
it. When / admit that it is true that
groceries have been high on account
of freight rates and other expenses
connected with the grocery business
in Roswell, it is not true that the gro
Gerry men in Roswell have been rob-
bing the customers and believe that
every grocerynan in Roswell would
affirm this to be the fact.
where we lead others are, unable
to follow" Is a mistake. cant be
lieve that any firm in this country is
big or great enough to destroy legfM-
mate trade The good Judgment Of
the people will always prevail. I'm so
glad that God has not the same ma
ture of man, IL He had with His Nigh
ty power our life would lbe at an end.
1 feel that 1 have always done a le-
gitimate business and would ask the
support of all my old customers and
as long as l have to sell groceries at
sacrifice will give all my customers
the benefit of cut prices. Come. See
and be convinced.
Yours very respectfully.

PRES. KENNEDY is HERE
Promoter of the Big Proposition
Comes to Straighten Out a Little
TangIe and Talks Interestingly Of
What is Being Done.-Biue Prints
of Roswell Shops to be Out in June.

Edward Kenndy, president and pro-
moter of the Altus, Roswell & Ell Pa
so railroad, to be known as The Ros-
we'll Route" arrived last night 20
spend two or three days clearing up
the tangle that was brought about in
the work here by the Imprisonment of
Jim West, the contractor, on an old
charge that had long been against him
Mr.. Kennedy regrets very much the
sentencing of the contractor not only
because it threw the new railroad
proposition into confusion for the time
at the Roswell end, but because West
is hard working man who does his
contracting thoroughly and because
he believes him sincere in his good eff
forts. The work will be Strengthened
out while Mr.. Kennedy is here and
other outfits put at it.
The promoter talked Interestingly
of the new road today. He said:
Outside of the work at Roswell of
which you all know there are now LOG
miles of graded roadbed, ready for
ties and steel, between Roswell and
Altus. The pile driver is now on the
bank of Salt Fork this side of Altus,
and will be driving the piles for the
bridge soon. Forty miles of road are
ready for steel in Oklahoma Grading
is being done at Lockney and Peters
burg, in Hale county, Texas and at
Lubbock. Eighty miles of contract
have been let
"The blue prints for the round house
shops and yards in Roswell will be
out in June. These shops will be some
thing of which town of 10000 might
be proud. The railroad will have
from seven to twelve hundred en-
ployees in Roswell

A GOOD SAMPLE OF
RAILROAD ENTERP RISE.

The manner in which competing
railroads go after business was shown
yesterday when J. P. Rogerman, TraT-
cling Passenger Agent of the Balt1-
more & Ohio railroad, came to Ros-
well for the purpose of making an at
tempt to route over his company's
lines the fifty cadets of the Military
Institute who had planned to go to
the Taft inaugural at Washington.
Upon his arrival he was informed that
he was too late that the excursion
had been given up. He could hardly
be made to take such an answer to his
inquiries. He wanted to get out and
help stir the proposition up and car
ry it through, and was willing to work
and spend money to get up the trip.
And at that his company could not
carry the delegation over one-haf of
the distance. In comparison with the
B. & O.'s interest in the matter might
be mentioned the fact that Col. J. w.
Wilson telegraphed the traffic mana
ger of a railroad much nearer for
rates On the first day the excursion
was mentioned, and wrote asking the
railroad to do its part toward stirring
UP interest in the trip. To date he
has not even received an answer to
his letter. -

sUFFRAGETTES FAIL
TO PRESENT PETITION.

London, Feb. 18.-The suffragettes
failed today in the attempt to present
to Premier Asquith the resolution
adopted at a meeting yesterday de-
claring for continuation of militant
propaganda for suffrage. They first
attempted to march in procession,
but their line was broken by the po-
lice. Then they proceeded down the
street sipgfy. The police, however.
had blocked all entrances to the thor
oughfare and twenty or more militant
suffragettes who tried to break thru
the line were arrested. For time
there seemed great disorder, the wo-
men time and again throwing them
selves valiantly against the double
line Of policemen. The police finally
cleared the street. At the police court
twenty of those who were arrested
refused to pay fines and were sent
to prison for terms varying from a
fortnight to a month.

TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR EXPRESS ROBBERY

Richmond, Va, Feb. 13.-Advices
from Pinehurst, NJ c., a winter re
sort, are that the Office of the express
company at that place was broken
open and robbed of diamond jewelry
valued at approximately 100000 on
the night of February ninth. The jew
elry had been sent for the inspection
and approval of various wealthy nor
therners wintering- at Pinehurst, by
New York and Chicago concerns.
There is said to he little or no trace
of the perpetrators. The express COM
pany and detectives have made every
effort to keep the matter quiet, but
it became public when they asked the
police of other cities to assist them
in running down the thieves.

products The ultimate result is that
the price of cotton has been doubled
in practically the last 10 years. This
means six hundred million dollars for
ten million bale crop. Values have
been given to perishable farm pro-
ducts of over one hundred million dol
lars. The two million bales of cotton
manufactured bring to the South two
and three times the money that the
same quantity of cotton brings when
shipped abroad to Ibe manufactured
there.
The cotton growing states have ap-
proximately one-third the population
of the entire union. We see that in
the last ten years the condition of
these has been improved four times
above what il use to be. This in-
provement has all taken place under
fair protection to cotton goods. It
is my opinion that the maintenance
of this improved condition is depend
ent upon the continuance of the tariff
under which it has been developed.
at is also prosperous and conpa-
ratively a happy situation in which
the people of New England live. The
maintenance of this great develop
ments of a factory system consuming
cotton upon which SO many people
depend for a living has been accom-
plished under a tariff system and in
my judgment If this tariff was remov-
ed a depression would at once set in,
which would entail great hardships
upon the people. In both sections
the kind of goods made at home are
still imported, showing that the exist
ing tariffs are not prohibitory.
There are other cases of vested in
tion," said Mr.. Tompkins. Il will
use steel rails as an example of this
and it seems to be generally admitted
that the steel combinations are charg-
ing in addition to what would be com
petitive prices the amount of the tar
iff for their products. This is GER
tainly true of a number of industries.
Therefore, it would seem important to
create some investigating tribune
with powers necessary to take testi-
mony and find out the facts in order
that Congress may have definite ad
vice and Information as to when a
particular tariff is advantageous or
diSadvantageouS. Also as to what
tariffs are necessary to produce the
revenue to-run the Federal Govern
ment.
THE present method of making the
tariff is sort of scramble about once
in ten years. said the speaker in con-
clusion. "The industry which gets
satisfactory results has no remedy
but has to wait ten years and take
chances again. If under the present
system tariff is laid which develops
graft, this condition must continue al
so until the next general tariff revis-
ion. Under the Commission plan the
tariff might be in process of revision
or re-adjustment all the time. Revis-
sion or re-adjustment all the time,
Revision might mean upwards or
downwards. 1t would mean whatever
changes were necessary to produce
the best interests at home for the
American people"

CONCERT FOR ITALIANS
AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS.

last night at the Christian church for
the benefit of the Italian earthquake

artistic point of view, although the
many other attractions of the evening
cut down the attendance, making the
financial success less than had been
hoped for. The numbers were contri-

Der was good. Those who attended

People are Taken In BY the Use or
Ward Liberty, Says the Ex-Presi-
dent-Malefactors of Great Wealth,
the Newspapers and others Played
a Bit.


NEW YORK, June 17.-Discussio1
of the political problems confronting
the country through the development
OF power by large corporation is made
in vigorous language by eX-Presldent
Roosevelt in his article in this week 5
Outlook. Taking for his subject The
Thraldom of Names
Mr.. Roosevelt says 1t behooves our
people never to be misled by design
ing people who appeal to the rever-
ence for or antipathy toward given
name in order to achieve some alien
purpose. The rule of mob. he de-
clares, may be as tyrannical and OPP
presSive as the rule of single lnGl-
vidual and the rule Of an Oligarchy.
whether this oligarchy is a plutocracy
or a bureaucracy may be sordid and
bloodthirsty as that OF mob; but the
mob leaders usually state that all that
they are doing is necessary in order
to advance the cause of liberty.
while the dictator and cligarchy are
usually defended upon the ground that
the course they follow is absolutely
necessary so as to secure order.
MANY excellent people are taken in
by the use Of the word liberty at the
one time says the ex-President. land
the use the word order at the
ether and ignore the simple fact that
despctism is despCtism, tyranny ty-
ranny. oppression oppression. whether
committed by one individual or by
many individuals by a state, or by a
private corporation. All forms of ty-
ranny and cruelty must alike be con-
demned by honest men.
This Country Fortunate.
We in this country have been very
fortunate Thanks to the teaching
and the practices of the men whom we
most revere as leaders, of the men
like Washington and Lincoln, we have
hitherto escaped the twin CULTS of de-
potism and mob rule, and We have
never been in any danger from the
worst forms of religious bitterness.
But we should therefore be all the
mere careful. as we deal with indus
trial and social problems, not to fall
into mistakes similar torthose which
have brought lasting disaster on less
fortunately situated peoples.
First and foremost we must stand
firmly on a basis of good ethics. We
intend to do what is right for the
ample and sufficient reason that it is
right If business is hurt by the stern
exposure of crOckedness and the re-
suit of efforts to punish the crooked
men. then business must be hurt, even
though good men are involved I'm the
hurting. until it so adjusts itself that
it is possible to prosecute wrongdoing
without stampedng the business COM
munity into terrcr-struck defense Of
the wrongdoers and an angry assault
upon these who have exposed them.
On the other hand we must beware
