LOOKS LIKE
''DRIES" WIN

Roswell today voted for and against
the saloon, and at three O'Clock this
afternoon it, looked like victory for
prohibition movement. In the north
wards of town the dries" are conced-
ed to have everything their way,
The dries" are claiming all wards in
the city by big majorities, except the
Fifth In the Fifth ward the dries
claim to nave a chance yet to win.
On the other hand, the ''wets" claim
the Fifth ward by two to one and
claim to have a chance in the Third
and Fourth wards. Taking the wnole
city over. there was less scratching
than was anticipated, nearly all the
voters considering it a straight sa-
loon or no saloon election. At three
O'Clock the general indications are for
prohibition victory except in the
Fifth ward.
TIE day dawned clean and calm
and was not long in warming up. The
polls no sooner opened than the bal
lots began pouring in as never before
in the city of Roswell. BY noon the
vote cast was greater than ever
before at that hour. A monster vote
will be polled.
Considering the feeling on the sa-
loon question, it was a remarkably
quiet election, up to three O'Clock at
least One squabble at the Fifth ward
poll this morning was the only thing
that partook of the nature of fight,
Up to three o'clock. While the band,
hired by the 'wets" and the boats OF
children singing for the dries and
banner carriers, wagons, autos, etc,
moving up and down the streets made
considerable colmotion and gave the
day the appearance of a gala occa-
sion, no disturbances blackened the
day. II was a very peaceable cleo
tion.

treasure such momentoes from the
Washington state and it is notewor-

Washington to commemorate the one

his death. After coming out OF the
tomb my correspondent requested Mr..
Young the assistant manager of Mt.
Vernon, to give him something direct
ly connected with the estate from
which this gavel might be made. Mr..
Young responded that on the previous
day it had been necessary to cut
down an old ash tree, and calling
hand he went with my correspondent
to the place and had a piece of wood
cut Off. 1t was subsequently made
into the present form at Alexandria,

RAILROAD
men MEET

Worcester, Mass, April 3.-Addres-
sing the immense gathering of rail-
road men today, hundreds of tlem
representing the powerful organiza-
tion of which he was once the lead,
Edgar f. Clark, the railroad conduc-
tor who became a member of the In
tersLaJe Commerce Commission be-
spoke a message of conservatism
Commissioner Clark told the men
of the brotAerhoods what am impOr-
tant public service they perform in
operating the railroads of the United
States. The development Of those
brotheraoods, he said, had come only
through fraternal unity and cooper
alton.
1T has come" ne said, by having
a well considered and sound policy
and by adherilg to it; by applying to
every effort and desire the test-1s
this Right?'by withholding every ef-
fort and resisting every desire that
would not stand that test
1T has come by pursuing a course
of conservatism wlicA avoided on the
one hand that conservatism, which
beyond a certain point means stagna-
tion, and on the other hand that CON
servatis7n which. beyond a certain
point, means cowardice.
"'And the message | visa to bear to
you is that the policy that mas brot
To you SO much of material welfare
and contributed to the relations which
bring about such gatherings as this
in wnica the President of the United
States and the presidents of the rail
roads on which you are employed
gladly participate with you, is not to
be lightiy set aside, nor to be de-
parted from except for imperative
reasons. In those men is represented
an important part of our nations life
which has no need to change its me
thods of conducting its business to
keep within the four corners of the
law"
Commissioner Clark then went on
to illustrate in a graphic way how
United States.
The total miles of tracks," he
said, "of the railroads of the United
States is three hundred and twenty
eight thousand. If the capitalization
of those roads were laid down in sill
yer dollars side by side, so that the
dollars touched each other, the dol
lars would extend over every mile of
those tracks and there would be
enough left over to more tnan encir-
Gle the globe.
"If the annual revenue of those
roads were laid down in silver dol
lars in the same way, the dollars
would extend more than twice around
the world. IL all those revenues were
paid dan actual cash, the amount of
money so paid to the railroads for
transportation would equal the total
sum of money in circulation in this
country.
''If the money paid by these rail
roads to their employees every year.
were laid down the same way in sill
yer dollars, ii would extend twenty
two thousand miles, almost once
around the eartn.
IF the employees of all these roads
were to march in a parade at the rate
of three miles an hour day and night
the single file would be eight nund
red and fifty miles long and it would
require nearly twelve days for the
procession to pass a given point.

ried one mile annually by taose roads

New York City.-Butter and eggs
are now stored in the warehouses of
New York and vicinity in greater
quantities than ever before at this
time of year. Last years figures on
storage and prices made high records
up to that time, but they are exceed
ed by the totals of the present month.
Butter is now higher than it has been
in July Of any other year since the
Civil War times.
The figures were contained in re-
port completed from twenty-nine of
the thirty-two food warehouses in the
metropolitan district. This report
shows that 2,234,000 cases, each con-
tanning thirty dozens of eggs. are now
in storage, while year ago the total
was 1,911,000 cases. Never before
has the total in these warehouses ex-
ceeded 100000 cases in July.
Receipts of eggs have not been
greatly in excess of those of last year,
so some of the dealers infer that a
speculative movement has something
to do with the conditions. The re-
ceipts for the last two months have
been 2,417,000 cases, while in the
same two months of last year $780,
600 cases were received. The storage
of eggs began in April.
The best grades Of eggs going into
storage are quoted at twenty-three
cents dozen in car lots. They are
Western eggs, and two years ago sim
liar grades were sold at eighteen
cents. Fresh Eastern eggs, which
are now quoted at twenty-four to
twenty-seven cents a dozen in the
wholesale markets, were sold for
twenty-five cents year ago.
All the egg prices will be increased,
the dealers say, by the warehouse
expenses, interest charges and profit
when the eggs are taken from the
warehouses for consumption next fall
and winter.
\ The total amount of butter now in
storage in the metropolitan district
warehouses is placed at $500, 900
pounds. year ago the total was
23,7S8,000 pounds. The receipts of
butter in the last two months have
amounted to $4,000 tubs of sixty
pounds each; last years total receipts
in the two months was SIC, 900 tubs.
The best grades of butter, called
specials" were quoted at twenty
nine and quarter cents wholesale,
which is two and three-quarter cents
pound more than year ago.

Modern Business Ethics.

"A Chicago minister recently told
the students of the University OF
Chicago that the code Of modern
business was pagan and not Chris
tian, with brutality and selfishness
as it's chief attributes.
Modern business has much in 1t.
that is bad, but it is far from being
Dthically pagan and it is not, as i'm
Piled by this assertion, as bad as the
business codes that preceded. 1t is
q far cry from the day sof apprentice
ship slavery and Imprisonment for
debt to that of short hours, sanitary
labor and liberal pay and laws ex-
empting debtors from unfair exac-
tions by creditors. Our loquacious
old friend. Micawber, would, no
doubt, revel in the patience and priv
ileges of this day and conclude that
this era, without its debt-prisons and
Uriah Keeps, was indeed a utopian
age. But the serious fact is that
with all our strenuous competition,
quick amassing OF prodigious wealth,
our business code is more humane,
more mindful of the other man and
his rights and, indeed more moral
than that Of any people in history.
ALL about US we see these men of
colossal fortunes giving with lavish
hand to charitable or other worthy
causes and even in the severity of
their business dealings they are not
driving as cruel bargains as they
used to.-Omaha Bee.

FILL STORAGE HOUSES WITH BUTTER AND EGGS
Never Such Quantities
Interest Expenses Pnns UpB8 CHARGES
Winter Promise the Highest Of Prices

The phenomenon Of increased
quantities of butter and eggs In stor-
age with higher prices in the market
is causing much talk among the
wholesale dealers on the west side.
The explanation offered by some of
their number is that Western pack
ing companies made contracts earlier
in the year to take the butter and
eggs from the farmers at high prices.
and so they were compelled to main
tain prices to protect themselves from
losses. If the current receipts of the
products were now offered for imme-
date consumption prices would drop,
and SO most of. the eggs and butter
coming here of late has gone into
storage.
One of the wholesale dealers said
that the packing companies may also
have as an object in keeping up
prices of butter that people may get
the habit of using oleomargarine as a
substitute. While butter was at its
highest retail prices last winter much
more oleomargarine was sold than
ever before in this country.
Dealers said that they do not see
any reason for expecting reduction
this year in the cost of living in the
items Of butter and eggs.
