A FALSE ARGUMENT.

one or n arguments DefnS USED
to bolster up the waning saloon cause
is the statement that even If saloons
are driven out of the city they will
congregafe in larger numbers on the
edge of the city and make life miser
able for the Immediate neighborhood
inasTnch as they will not be under
strict regulation.
The Record wants to characterize
such a statement as an arrant absur
better than those persons VINO are
using it as an argument against clean.
ng out the saloons. We base our
statement upon these facts:
There is a territorial law which
prohibits the licensing of any saloon
)r place where liquor is sold in any
locality other than towns of one hun
bred people or more This law las
been upheld in two instances in the
territory. two saloons beng compell-
ed to go out of business.
When J. NJ. Hervey was district at
torney he rendered an opinion. by re
quest, hat in the meaning OF the law
he believed the word town" to imply
AACOHpbId lGu AOAn d. OILY SuCu
would be a town in the legal sense.
There are no such towns near RIOS.
we'll. and we know of no place any.
where nea Roswell to which such a
term could be applied.
Hence it is absur to make the
above statement given out by the
whiskey people. The moment such a
saloon applied for license from the
county commissioners a permanent
injunction would be applied for, re-
strainilg them from granting such H.
cense. and no one can have any doubt
about the court granting b per-na-
nent injunction. This would abso-
lutely prohibit N opening of any sa-
looms witain a great many miles of
Roswell.
When the saloons are voted out of
Roswell a permanent Law and Order
League will be formed and mighty lit
tie liquor will be sold in or near Ros-
veil.
The argument that saloons would
exist despite the territorial law and
city ordinance is simply on a a with
the rest of the statements being made
by whiskey boosters. They are inten-
ded to hold up a losing game and the
people know 1t.

!. M. ~. .. BOXING CLASS TO
GIVE PUBLIC EXHIBITION

For several months the cadets at
the Institute have been training, un-
der the direction of Captain Spencer.
for a boxing and wrestling contest,
which is going to take place In the
Roswell Armory at an early date.
Some. skilled xer have been de-
veioped among the one hundred and
fifty husky cadets. The preliminary
contests are being held, almost night
ly at the Institute, to determine the
Institute championship. At present ii
is thought that Higgins and Baird,
two husky football players of last
seasons team will contest for the
heavy weight championship. Both OF
these young men weigh more than
one hundred and eighty pounds. They
are quick on their feet and under
stand handling the gloves with great
skill.
Clancy and Clayton will probably
contest for the feather-weight cham.
pionship. their weight ranging from
one hundred and thirty to one humid
red and thirty-fiye pounds. What
these young men lack in weight, how
ever, will be made up in science and
! activity.
Turner and Whellock are the ones
selected to do stunts on the mat
Both of these young men are skilled
~wrestlers. and will probably give the
finest exhibition of wrestling ever
seen in Roswell.
The evenings entertainment Is &c
he lean and spirited. Ladies' are
expected to witness these contests,
and it viii give them an opportunity
to witness an exhibition of one OF
Americas manly sports. The boxing
will not be tame however, and will
be interesting to every though no
brutality will be INDUCED in.
There will also be music and song.
II will be an object of the cadets to
make the evening as pleasant as pos
sible.
When one takes time to notice the
fine body of young soldiers at the In
stitute, and observe their splendid
set-up their saaply muscles. and their
clear quick eyes, it is easy to under
stand that many of them could make
fine boxers and wrestlers. The very
pick of the cadet corps is to be in
the entertainment, which insures
great sport.

HOPE HOLDS MEETING ON
A RECLAMATION PROJECT

Hope. March s.-The people OF
Hope have taken a step which II is
believed will bring results thai will

great bodies of water come down the

reclamation service to appropriate
money to reclaim the vast tract of
land between Hope and Artesia with
these food waters. There is at least
100000 acres of this and which
could be reclaimed at comparatively
small cost. Year ago the govern
ment sent engineers here who found
the project feasible, but as this coun-
try was then uninhabited, they rec
commended the Hondo project instead.
