Throughout the past ages of the
world we have the painful and con
tinuous spectacle of man destroying
man; of bloodsAed, rapine. death and
woe, brought on lby the scourge OF
war.

savage instincts of nature a led

of the ompulse to honor him above

The answer is War. He was the
successful chief of a nation in a day

Whether in the near future New
Mexico is to be admitted into the
Union of American States Is a Ques-
ton on which ii is by no means safe
TO venture an opinion. Many who
look upon the future with a prophetic
eye inform us hat Statehood Is near;
while others, comparing our present
situation and prospects with those of
earlier date, are inclined to be pessf
nistic. The former having strong
hope, and at least a fair probability
of seeing their predictions verified,
are casting abou in search of a suit
able name for the new state. And
| while IL is altogether likely hat the
wishes of the people of the Territory
will be as completely disregarded in
the matter of name, as they have been
with respect to most other things. no
harm can be done by an expression
of our views on h subject.

Mr.. Dunn's article seems to have
been inspired by n recently In the
columns OF the Record, written by a
Southern born man, and suggesting
che names of Lincoln and Jackson for
the proposed states which may be adj
mitted sometime within the next 100
years. To the Record it seems that
in opposing the narne of Lincoln, on
the ground of being opposed to con
ferring on new states the names OF
men who have won their regulations
by war, he should also have opposed
using the name of Jackson, who was
a warrior in the strictest sense of the
word. As for the Record. we are op-
posed to any change in the name OF
New Mexico. While We do not expect
statehood in the immediate future.

Some of Our Own Remarks:

Roswell is a good little city to come to; our guests will find it so,
and that's what makes it a good one to stay in, we folks who stay are
glad to see you folks who come; we tell you So not because we're afraid
you won't feel welcome. but just because w want to say it.
It's good little city and we, in this good clothing store, have a sort
of satisfying feeling that in our way we've helped make it a good one
a progressive city, and if it's time that good clothes make a man better
for business, then we've done this community an immense lot of good
by selling our good clothes; such clothes increase the effectiveness of the
city; men who are we'll dressed and know it are worth more tic them
selves and to everybody else, merely by that fact. In getting the men
of Roswell to wearing our good clothes we're raising the general level
of efficiency of our tOWnsmen.
Every time we sell a suit of these clothes we help Roswell a little.
You'll find our service, our attention to fitting, our prompt delivery,
our guarantee of satisfaction all that you want; these things make this
store the satisfaction to shop.
You will find our clothing very reasonable in price.
Everything a mar needs we have it.

Mr.. Cooke is a loyal Demo
crat. His past record has stamp
ed him as that kind and brand of
Democrat who is ever ready and
willing to take the stump and to
fight the battle of his party; to
meet the enemy at any and every
point. During the past twenty
years in this district Mr.. Cooke
has been called to the stump by
his party and no man ever re-
sponded more nobly and more
cheerfully. In the interest of
the candidacy of other men he
has carried the Democratic ban
ner into almost every township
in the district and his voice has
been raised in support and de-
tense of the principles of Demo-
cracy. He has few equals on
the stump and no superiors in
this section of the state at least.
Mr.. Cooke is a lawyer and a
man Of large property holdings.
He is likewise a farmer" and a
man keenly interested in agri-
cultural and industrial pursuits.
Ie owns and operates a few
miles from Asheville aSBerkshire
farm where he raises the finest
breed of hogs in the country
the Berkshires, He was born in
Asheville in January 1872, and
has now reached mans most
vigorous stage.
AS a mixer with the people Mr..
Cooke has few equals in this sec
ton. He is known throughout
his home city and county; and for
that matter in many other sec
lions of the Tenth district as a
genial and whole souled fellow;
and a man who gives serious
to the serious affairs of
life. The Democrats of the
Tenth district could make no
in nominating Mr. Cooke
for Congress.

Within a few short months
now the Democrats of the Tenth
Congressional district will be
called upon to nominate a man tc
lead them in the Congressional
fight next year. The most
thoughtful party men feel just
at this time that a new man
should be chosen. They feel
that he must be a man full of
enthusiasm; active; an able de-
batter and withal a good mixer.
a man, in short, who can get
votes and who will reflect, in his
course in Congress, credit upon
his district. That the democrats
OF the Tenth district can elect
such a man seems to be the con-
census Of opinion. With such
qualifications before it, and in a
determination to win and redeem
the district from the Republicans,
party sentiment is fast crysta-
HING around the name of the
Hon. William J. Cooke, of Bun
con1be. This is apparent to all.
WORDS OF PRAISE.
Throughout the district, from
the press and the people. are
ec4ning words of praise for Mr..
Cooke. The Bryson City Times
Of Swain county says: "Mr.
Cooke is we'll known over the
district as a man of ability; of a
genial turn; and he has in Swain
county many warm personal
friends-friends whose influence
viii mean mn Oh when it comes to
q final show down."
The Clay County Courier in
Clay county as though rejecting
the thought of the Bryson City
Times goes the Times one better
and has this to say: 'Mr Cooke,
with his youth, vigor, ambition
and marked ability, should make
a strong campaign. He is a ne
phew of the late Capt. Thos. D.
Johnston, than whom no man
who ever represented this dis
trict in the national congress,
was better beloved by the peo-
pie Of our county"
The Waynesville Courier
speaks of Mr. Cooke. in this
language; Mr.. Cooke is popu-
lar with the people of tn els
trict and it is thought he would
certainly be elected if nomi-
mated"
Tha Madison County Record of
Marshall, while published in q
countys outside the district,
recognizes Mr.. Cookies ability
and gives praise. The Record
says: Mr.. Cooke seems to
have the lead at the present
dme. He is a very vigorous and
enthusiastic campaigner and an
orator Of ability"
NOMINATE A YOUNG MAN.
It is the evident purpose Of
the Democrats of the Tenth dis
trlct to nominate a young man as
the paFty's standard-bearer and
Ia seeking such a man none seems
more fit than Mr.. Cooke. While :

a man who can play the game.
In fact, the game of politics is
not a new one to Mr., Cooke. He
was nominated unanimously and
enthusiastically for mayor of
Asheville by the Democrats in
1896 and although at that time
Asheville was in the doubtful
column he met and defeated that
strong republican, HIS. Harkins,
for the place. Mr.. Harkins
afterwards being made collector
of internal revenue for this dis
trict by a republican president.

AN ENVIABLE RECORD.

Mr.. Cooke has an enviable re-
cord in politics and in the SER
vice of his party. After he
served Asheville we'll and true as
mayor he was, in 1900, nominated
for the State Senate from this
district, then composed of the
counties of Buncombe, Haywood,
and Madison. He was elected to
the Senate, reversing a 700 re-
publican majority and receiving
a majority of 600. He simply re-
deemed the Senatorial district.
In 1902 Mr.. Cooke was the
Democratic nominee for Solici-
tor in the Fifteeth Judicial dis
trict and although the district
acknowledgedly republican he
reduced the republican majority
and paved the way for Demo-
cratic hope that the district will
soon swing into the Democratic
column.
In 1908 Mr.. Cooke was a dele
gate to the National Democratic
convention from North Caro-
lima.
