RoOSEYELT'S LATEST MESSAGE.

president Roosevelt has sent mes
sage to Congress concerning the secre
service appropriation which is worthy
Sof earnest consideration. 1t seems to
us that the President has made a
strong case in favor of the use
of the secret service to ferret out
crime wherever it can be located He
also proves his case that one of the
schief arguments made against the APP
preparation by the members who spoke
against it was that secret service of
ficers had been used to "spy" against
members of the congress. The Presi
'one of the leaders in the effort to re-
strict the service. In doing this he
questions Mr.. Smiths judgement but
he does not impugn his motives. We
shink it would be ill-advised for either
Mr.. Smith or his Council Bluffs
Friends to take up the cudgels as if
Mr.. Smith had been insulted and
abused, when the President simply
states the facts as they appear in the
record and give results upon the SER
vice as he believes them to be.
We have the highest faith iu the in
rSegrity of Walter l. Smith. He is one
of the strongest men Iowa has pro
duced in many years. We are in
clined to think, with the President that
he has made a mistake in opposing
she use of the secret service wherever
necessary, but we are sure, and WE
wish we could think of more EN-.
phatic word. that his motives were be-
.yond reproach.
The President is undoubtedly righr
in believing that Mr.. Busby private
s ecretary to Speaker Cannon, would
not have written anything as CORES
pondent to the Inter Ocean which h.
did not think to be in accord with tn
Speakers views. we know Mr.. Busby
and we know he would never have bee
guilty of writing at variance with tn
views of his chief.
No matter what may be the persona
Feelings of the Congressman we believ
the President has made out a goo
case for the extended use of the Sc
cret service.

Trying to Make Travel Safer.

Jefferson Bee: The Northwestern
railway is at present engaged in
making an expensive improvement
upon this division. the purpose of
which is to make travel safer by
rendering collisions impossible. Work
is progressing on contract to equip
the division from Boone to Arcadia.

with what is known as the Hall
block system. an electrically operated
system of signals. These signals,
which consist of arms or standards
about fourteen feet high, with COL
ored disc on top. are located along
the track, and as each train passes,
the signal is thrown in such way as
to block the track: it remains in this
position until the train has passed the
next signal post, thus making it i'm
possible for two trains to get into the
same stretch of track at the same
time. In straight reaches these sig
nails are located about two miles apart,
but on curves they are closer to-
gether. The construction crew is
now at work in Greene county. but is
temporarily halted by lack of mater
ial. The cost of the installation of
this new device is said to be So, 900
per mile. so that the company is pay
ing $1,000 for this experimental
strip. 1t is hoped that the job will
be finished by the first of February.
With two tracks. which eliminate the
possibility of head end collisions.
and this device which guards against
collisions between trians moving in
the same direction. it would appear
that it is about as safe to ride on
trains as it Is to stay at home.

with all its pleasant anticipations.
it is incumbent upon me to inform
ally call the attention of the people
of Iowa to their duty in view of the
terrible calamity which has befallen
our brother cross the sea.
| The news reports have told of the
devastation and suffering caused by
the earthquake and tidal wave in the
Mediterranean. Great cities and
towns of Sicily and southern Italy
have been laid waste and thousands
of inhabitants have persisted.
We, whose lives have been spent
far from the mountains and the sea,
can never understand or appreciate
the terror of a calamity such as this.
No words can describe the suffering
and the ruins; that which has been
done in single night cannot be re-
placed within a lifetime. No such
calamity has visited the earth within
the recollection of the people Of this
generation. All we can do is to help
the survivors just little, with our
practical sympathy, to bear their
burden of sorrow. While the scene
of this calamity is many miles away,
it brings home to us the fact that
after all the world is not very large,
and these people are indeed our BROTH
ers, for in almost every community
of our own state there are relatives
and friends of those whose lives have
been blotted out or whose homes
have been wrecked beyond repair.
We of iowa have just closed a year
of unprecedented prosperity; our
fields have yielded abundantly; our
factories have been busy; our mines
have given up vast stores. and our
people have been employed in useful
and gainful occupations. In the midst
of our Joy we should exercise the spir.
it Of charity and give of our abund
ance to aid our neighbours in distress
II. therefore. call upon the people O
Iowa to yield to the promptlngs o
their hearts and give of their sub
stance that which will help these I'm
fortunate victims of natures fury.

Jack Leonard's Body Found.

Amarillo, Tex, Dec. 15.-The dead
body OF Uncle Jack" Leonard of Tas-
cosa was found in a dry creekbed
hfteen miles from Amarillo today,
the old man having persisted in the
storm of Nov. p. The body was bro't
10 Amarillo and prepared for burial
in Tascoca tomorrow afternoon, to
which point it will be under an as
cort of honor composed of former
cowboy associates.
The body reported a few days since
twelve miles away was that of ano-
tier man. Since the date of the
storm searchers have been out seek
ing To locate the body, but without
avail, until today when Chief of Police
Snyder of Amarillo joined Sneriff
Armstrong of Tascosa with a party of
ten men. A portion of his clothing
had been torn away by tae hungry
was unmolested.
Almost $500 and other articles of
value were found on the body. A por-
ton of the honey was in gold, some
of which nad been in his possession
for years.
Uncle jack Leonard was with
General Custer when the latter made
his notable aid against Chief Black
Kettle and his band forty a ago.
He was a great fayorite of the
North Panhandle country and a for
a long time been a character in this
part of the State.

Probably one hundred dol
lars is sent out of Roswell every year
for booze, and not one cent of it ev-
err comes back. 1t is AXE from the
Inomes OF those who most need TO
spend IL for bread, meat and clothing.
IL represents just so much lost bust
ness to h legitimate business men
of Roswell; 1t is just so much lost
capital.
Last month the city police made
forty arrests in Roswell and drink
was back of over half of them.
The saloons OF Roswell pay to the
city twelve thousand dollars per year,
but they cost the city mucn more than
that every year in actual money, and
then produce poverty, drunkenness,
disease, criminals and suffering and
misery.

Roswell are a drag upon the progress
of the city. and a deadly evil.

SALOONS INCREASE TAXES.

IL is the firm belief of the eco
that tle voting of the saloons out OF
Roswell would tend to decrease rath-
err than increase our taxes. There
are many reasons for this belief, and
rney are confirmed by experiences
elsewhere.
Statistics show tina seventy-five
per cent. of our idiots come from in
temperate parents; eighty per cent.
Of the paupers; eighty-two per cent.
of the crime is committed by e un-
der the influence of liquor; ninety
per cent. of the adult criminals are
wniskey made. In ten years 53,o56
murders were committed by men I'M
der ms influence of liquor. All this
does not do anything to lower taxes,
but does aid to increase them.
IL costs money to ARE for idiots
and paupers made by whiskey; it
costs money to punish and convict
criminals made by whiskey, and to
the court machinery made
necessary by whiskey.
In Chaves county a good two-tnirds
of the court expenses are made By
whiskey. IL has caused poverty and
suffering n means unpaid bills to
the merchants. Money that should
be spent for bread, meat and cloth
ing goes to fill the purses of the
wliskey manufacturers.

Attention Farmers!
Electric Power For Pumping.

Without water your fertile valley lands are dormant,
fail to respond to most Industrious cultivation and con-
tinues to tenaciously hold the hidden wealth locked with
in the soil. With water the same fertile lands are no
longer dormant and no longer fail to respond to indus
trious cultivation, but will bring forth wealth in a most
generous manner. Golden fields of grain, green fields of
alfalfa and acres of orchard will appear where now the
lands are barren. This is the law of nature. To elevate
the water from it's present level to the level of your lands
at the lowest cost so the lands may be irrigated is the
problem confronting you. The solution of the problem
is the use OF electric power for pumping.
Electric power is the cheapest power for pumping and
all power purposes for the farmer aud all power users.
1t is not only the cheapest, but Is the safest and the most
reliable and convenient power that can be used. In addi-
tion, it is the only power that can be applied directly at
the point where the power is wanted, viz: AT the pump
shaft, with direct connection to the shaft saving the
large loss of power due to friction in betting, pulleys and
shafts. We are ready to demonstrate the truthfullness of
these statements to all Corners.
We are prepared to furnish power for the irrigation
of 10000 acres of land the coming season and will in
crease our plant capacity as the business demands.
Lines will be extended for a distance of % miles from our
power plant where the business warrants the expense of
construction. We are not justified in mourning the cost
of line construction and otksr necessary expense unless at
least 5000 acres will use electric power the coming
season.
We will not ask the farmer to subscribe for any of
our stock, or to contribute or donate to us, or to he at
any other expense than the cost of the line from the main
transmission line along the public highway over his prem
iss to his pumping station, the necessary pump and
motor equipment for his well and a concrete weir for
measuring the water. The contract must. however, be
" "a uiiCiCh RCiiOd u JCoic W dothJ Jul od1uJ anu
in such form as to follow the land regardless of change of
ownership.
Those interested are requested to call at our office or
write, furnishing the following information:
IL Name and Post Office address.
(2) Number of acres owned.
a. Number of acres to be irrigated.
a. Location aud description of land.
(5) Size of well and actual or estimated flow and
length of well casing. Ii well is to be drilled SO
state and when it will be completed.
(6) Distance water is to be elevated.
CD Distance from our power plant to land along
public highways.
49, Names and addresses of others who require and
now want power for pumping.
Remember it takes time to construct lines and make
installations and it is only a few months until you will
need the water. If you are interested you should act at
once.
