STRUCK A POPULAR CHORD.

ing IL was suggested that politics
should not cut any figure In the agl-
tation. This brought Otto Mears to
his feet. He voiced Herald sentiments
In every word he uttered He said he
was a Republican but that the time
was at hand when politics should cut
no figure when 1t came to the general
interests OF the people and that he
would vote for Democrats who work.
ed honestly and energetically for the
welfare OF the community-that local
city and county government was busi-
ness and not political and for one he
would not stand 10 have the issue
made a political one. The sentiments
received hearty applause.
This is The Herald policy. We want
honest and efficient city and county
government. with all semblance of
graft and favoritism cut out. City
and county officers should cut loose
from favoritism at the expense OF tax
payers and those who do stand high
In the estimation of the people--if not
with corrupt politicians.
No, good roads Is too big n thing
to be made a political issue. AS Mr.
Buchanan said last evening, there are
hundreds of things coming up in which
great number OF the people are not
interested. but there was not man,
woman or child who was not interest
ed in the question OF good roads, that
each one had occasion TO use the pub
lie highways. whether taxpayers or
not.
Eastern states are placing large
bond issues to raise money for pub
lie roads. California will submit a
proposition to bond the state for ST.
100000 for roads. this to cater to the
tourist travel.
Let La Plata county voters remem-
Der this-to stay with men who work
solely for the interests OF the com
munity as whole instead of parcelling
out fat snaps to political fayorites.

A cHAslrAsLE DESC

The Pennington branch train was
about three miles out OF Durango last
Monday night headed this way ut
forty miles an hour when an elderly
lady discovered that she was on the
wrong train. She wished to go to Sill
verton. Accompanying her were two
small children, one In arms. The train
was stopped and the lady and children
with their luggage were deposited ON
the right of way, while the train got
under headway and rapidly disappear
ed around g curve. But suddenly from
the moving train young man leaped
and ran back to the woman and chill
dren. whom he helped to Durango,
coming on down to his home near AZ
tee the next day. He had learned why
the train stopped and without sec
ond's hesitation had acted on the char
table impulse of generous heart. A
man who does Christian act like this
does not want his name published, we
are sure. His reward consists In the
knowledge that every such good deed
that he does raises his soul to heights
unknown by the worldly selfish.

Best Fruit Crop
in the State

Prof E. X. Bennett OF the State
Agricultural college returned yester.
day from a trip to San Juan county

nett says there Is more fruit in San
Juan county than In any section of
Colorado. There will be over 75 per
cent of crop OF peaches. and so per
cent of apples. pears and plums. In
all of the fruit districts of Colorado.
so far examined, there will be less
than 33 1-3 per cent Mr.. Bennett
left on the eastern this morning for
the San Luis valley.
This Is certainly a strong card for
this southwest section. 1t should be
borne in mind that very little. II any,
smudging was done in San Juan coun-
ty.
While Mr.. Benefits work is sup
posed to be confined to Colorado San
Juan county, New Mexico, is almost
part and parcel of Colorado, at least
so far as commercial interests are
concerned. 1t is, therefore, very graft.
Tying to our people to know that the
district to the south of us is about
the surest in way of fruit. And this
can also be said of the Animas valley
above Durango where trees are loaded
down with apples and pears.
Under normal conditions La Plata.
Monteuma and San Juan counties Will
produce az much fruit to the acre az
any section In the world.
