WHY FOR PROHIBITION.

AS the Record looks at 1t there are
only two classes of persons whose in
~terests should impel them to vote
with h saloons, the saloon men
themselves, and a certain assortment
of politicians whose business IL Is to
handle votes. The saloon men will
oppose prohibition of course. because
il a the end of their business and
the aforementioned class of politi-
cal aeelers viii oppose it because IL
means the lessening of their power to
control votes. Saloons are usually a
sort of political clearing house for
a certain class of voters. There they
get their instructions and orders. and
perhaps their pay. OF course the men
who deal in this sort of work are for
the saloons
AS % n men who should oppose
the aioons and vote for their ban
ishnent? Well. they include every
line OF business, hat is, legitimate
business.
The groceryman should favor pro-
dfbition because II lei the spend
ing of much more money for grocer
ies-groceries for the family instead

want TO emphasize the fact that they
must bear the responsibility for the
evils which VIII inevitably befall the
party through their action.
The issue before the people of Ros'
well is the existence of the saloons in
this city or their banisnment. There
Il not and there cannot be any other
issue which will even touch this one
In Importance, and we fail to see how
there can be any other issue at all.
Any action aiken to confuse or be
fiddle the situation will do harm tc
the party OF parties whose actions
cause it and they will be so judged
by the voters of h city.
THE ISSUE is the SALOON is
SUE and it MUST BE FOUGHT OUT
AS SUCH.

BUT PASSENGERS ESCAPE

Las Vegas, ~. NJ, Feb. 25.-Word
reached here this evening that a
sleeping car on eastbound train No
I. which left here at 2 p. H., was bur

were hurriedly transferred. but the
entire car with h baggage it con
tanned was destroyed. The sleeper
was cut loose and abandoned.

Of booze for the fathers and sons. .
The dry-goods man would get a
large share OF the money now sentstO
Milwaukee. st. Louissand other bose
centers should the saloons no.. It
means business to him.
The banks would he greatly bene-
fitted by a dry" Roswell. To send
out from Roswell every year several
hundred thousand dollars and to re
ceive nothing In return but booze,
which produces noting here but ruin
and destruction, is a drain on the
banking system Of the community.
Prohibition always means a big jump
in bank deposits, and in Roswell a
large sum in deposits would be divid-
ed among the local banks, and the
greater part of this none would re
main here to ii in the up-building
of the local industries.
One of the p~eculiarities of prohib1-
tio7 is that it produces business fol
ice dealers and ice manufacturers.
True, they lose the saloon business
but they gain much more than they
lose through the increased consump
ton in the homes and at the soda
fountains.
And hat brings us to the soda men
and the dry stores. The benefit Il
them is obvious. How any soda mar
can vote against prohibition is a nys
terry. if any soda man ever did 50
vote.
Then booze money would go to tht
furnishing of many a home in Ros
well. That means big business for tbs
hardware man, the furniture man, ant
a dozen and other classes of business
Booze money for meat, bread ant
clothing.
Yes, booze hurts business. all kind

These are but a few of the man.
selfish reasons why a dry" Roswell
would be a good thing for our bus
ness men. OF course these are merel,
business reasons. important ones, w
admit, but beyond that is the grea
moral reason, the greatest eason O
all.
The greatest enemies Of booze ar
the women and children who suffe
from it, and there are hundreds an
hundreds of thousands of them in tn
land, and Roswell has It's share.
The great leaders of organized laf

ton. and almost inevitably defeat the
city ticket, with danger to the county
ticket. II must be borne in mind that
voters cannot be handled ON a mora
question as in a mere political race.
Men will surrender their beliefs along
political lines to the will of the ma
fority of the party. but not when a
moral question Is concerned.
The second thing that h Demo
cratic party cannot afford to do is put
up a ticket and ignore the only issue
before the people of Roswell today.
There Is no party issue in Roswell
this year. One cannot be named. IL
will no do to a pre-arrang-
ed lot OF meaningless political plati-
tudes which have no bearing ON the
Roswell situation. and ignore the one
issue before the people. The voters
of the party will not stand for IL,
and viii simply kick over the traces,
and that means injury and harm TO
the party.
The Record believes hat n majority
of tho City Committee endorses these
ideas, and perhaps all Of the commit
tee does so, but that through n mistak-
en- sense of duty to the party they are
doing the party a great deal of harm.
We do not expect to convince them of
this. we believe they are acting as
their Judgment dictates. but We do

Immigrants lack of confidence in the security of private financial institutions of the United States is officially declared to be probably responsible for the flood of millions of dollars which flows by postal money order from the United States to foreign countries each year.
 Auditor Chance of the postofice department points to this condition as an indication of what might be accomplished through the estab- lishment of postal savings banks. The total of $640,64O,S17, repre- senting the surplus earnings of for eign laborers employed in the United States, has been sent abroad since 1890, and $76.622,629 was sent abroad by foreign workmen in 1909.
 Postal officials declare that in transferring their money to foreign countries, foreigners prefer money orders to checks or drafts on banks.

CLIFFORD Pinchot, chief forester and intimate friend of former President Roosevelt, was dismissed last Friday from the service of the United States by President Taft Thoroughly indignant at the action of Pinchot in inducing Senator Deliver to read a letter in the senate, President Taft listened to advice that the forester's violation of executive orders be overlooked pending the inquiry soon to be un- dertaken by congress. President Taft declared that the dignity of the presidential office was being attacked and he would be unfaith full to his trust if he submitted longer. The action of Mir. Taft is fully approved by his cabinet.
