Why then permit a method Of @Tegu-a

the authority which is theirs as OF
right and which they alone who are In
close and constant contact with this
the greatest of all our Public enemies

The baneful and destructive effects
of this practice has been eel and felt

THE so-cALLED CLANCY
LOCAL OPTION BILL.

The Clancy bill ITO Regulate the
Traffic of Intoxicating Liquors" seems
to be a saloon mems measure pure
and simple. OF, course it makes lib
eral provisions for the old gang of
politicians at Santa Fee. In fact the
graft feature of the proposed bill is
the consideration for which the poll
ticians agree to place the regulation
of the liquor traffic entirely in the
hands OF the saloon men. The social
ed "local option" feature of the bill is
a farce, there being no provision for
carrying out and putting prohibition
into effect, after a community has
voted against the saloons. The bill.
as published in the Record a few days
ago, provides for the creation of a ter
rftoritl board of license commission
ers, consisting of three members to
be appointed by the Governor and to
have Offices at Santa Fe. Section s
Of the proposed bill reads as follows:
AFTER the passage of this act no re-
tail liquor licenses shall be granted
or issued except by the Territorial
Board, and no such license shall be
granted for less thar year."
The lawyers of Roswell, including
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1909-01-28

Mayor Richardson, are agreed that
the section above quoted takes the
licensing and control of saloons en-
tirely away from the municipalities,
and would deprive the city of any
revenue from the saloons-occupation
tax on saloons additional to h Terri
torial license being prohibited by this
and other sections of the proposed
bill.
But even this is not the worst fea-
ture of the bill. 1t puts the governor
in complete control of h liquor bu-
siness of the Territory, through his
appointment of the commissioners;
and as no provision is made for the
application of the money collected for
licenses, it would seem to be design
ed principally as a means of raising
money for political purposes only.
The following summary of objec-
lions to the Clancy bill have been
formulated by President R. E. Lund
Of the Roswell, anti-Saloon League,
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1909-01-28
Warning.

To the Public
The Fire Department of the City of
Roswell, as well as the citizens, lave
been annoyed a number OF times re-
Gently by parties turning in false"
fire alarms. This habit, it is well for
those who are disposed to cultivate it,
should be checked. City authorities
have about reached the limit of pa
thence and v penalties Of ordi-
nances will be enforced If such acts
are repeated. Let this be sufficient
to those who are disposed to annoy
in this way.
You are further notified that the
city police department las been au-
thorized and instructed to arrest any
persons, not connected with the fire
department, who may be found after
the alarm has been given, anywhere
upon the sidewalk or the drive on
Third Street east OF the alley be-
tween Main Street and Pecos Avenue
in the vicinity of the engine house
and upon the south side of sail Third
Street. It Is the habit OF some peo-
pie to rush to the engine house after
fere with the operations Of the fire
company. You are notified that this
must be stopped. You do lot assist
or help,-you simply delay, and you
have no business there and must not
be found there unless you have been
invited to assist by the chief of the
fire department or his assistant. This
will be strictly enforced and It means
who is In the habit of hang
ing around the engine house or going
there after the alarm of fire has been
given. There will be no exceptions
to the rule. You must keep out.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1909-01-28

You are further warned hat when
the alarm of fire is given that every
possible hindrance to the movement
of the fire department must be remov-
ed from the street. People are in the
habit of crowding upon the crossings
and sometimes Eve driving in places
where they are aware that the engine
and hose wagon are likely to appear,
regardless of the alarm which they
have heard. The city will not be re-
sponsible for any one getting n1rt I'M
der the circumstances and o should
not care, and ought not want to jeo-
pardize the lives of the volun5cer ire
men of this city, and If you are good
citizens you will be more careful and
give them every opportunity to p
ate the machinery of The fire depart
ment with speed and safety. This is
your duty. / have watched the opera
lions of the fire department and it's
movements in the city after alarms of
fire v been given, for a number on
years and l am sure j AVE never wit
neSSed a. great -careleSsneSs, on the
part of the public, anywhere as at
Roswell, and it is due time hat the
citizens should take warning and that
the fathers and mothers of the city
should see that their children are not
in places where they should not be on
occasions of this kind.
I hope this will suffice to at least
call attention of some people to the
recklessness that some of our citizens
exercise towards the Roswell Fire De-
partment.
Respectfully submitted,
G. A. RICHARDSON,
Mayor of the City of Roswell.

ceivable eXcuS to any rational cit1-
zen for the existence of the licensed
saloon is revenue. II it fails to pro-
duce at this point, what shall the
people have as in exchange for their
sons and husbands?
1.-THE provisions of Sec 81 n
the evident intent that with this 1ex-
ception of a few hours, the saloons
shall be permitted to keep open and
do business Z days of each week, in
Guiding Sunday. And "a hours of
each day. Surely a public enemy,
with a most malignant contempt for
the health and wealth of h people,
could make such a proposition. 1t is
~inconceivable hat any civilized com
munity will permit UGH a measure to
become law.
S.-There are many minor Objec-
tons: No clause prohibiting females
to enter saloons and buy and drink;
sub-sec. 2 of Sec. % opens a very
wide and dangerous door, Sec. 13,
providing for h proximity of a sa-
loon to a church or school room, with
in 200 feet from center to center
which is uncomfortable.
9.-No adequate plan OR provision
for local option. We are offered shad
ow for substance. Evidently the Genii
who devised and prepared this treach-
erous measu believed that Local
Option offered to the towns and cities
of New Mexico would 90 down in sure
defeat: while the deceptive provision
in the bill would blind or meet the
moral sentiment of the territory de-
manding prohibition of the traffic in
all intoxicating liquors. The entire
measure is in its essential features
a cunning and fraudulent attempt to
fasten upon New Mexico, for many
years to come, the unspeakable injury
of the licensed liquor traffic: which
may God and the people forbid.
