We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we can
in every way possible that will be to
its advantage. Our neighbor's pros

than someone's who lives elsewhere
We should be this in mind in buying
our goods. We can afford to pay our

rather than send our money away
knowing as we do that every dollar
expended with our own citizens will
help in sustaining our schools, church

The Pagosa Springs New Era con-
tains the advertisement of Denver
grocery concern which advertises to
ship groceries, in carload lots, to Pa
gosa Springs and allow fullest exam
ination and delivery before payment
is asked, and asks that the people
of that city club together and make
up carload order. A glimpse at the
advertising columns of the New Era,
and noting the number of home firms
that do not patronize the home paper,
it is evidence as to the reason why
the editor admits such advertising to
his columns.

Republican Committee Set
ties Petty Dispute.
A COMPROMISE WITH NEW.
Predicted Fight on President For Re-
nomination by Indiana Committee
man Ends In Gossip, and Under
current For Roosevelt Is Side
tracked For the Present.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The expected
row in today's meeting of the Repub
lican national committee was averted
at a late hour last night. A compro-
mise with the Harry New crowd from
Indiana was effected, and things are
now certain to follow a program to
which there will be no objections.
The undercurrent demand for the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt in
June at the Chicago convention ap
pears to have been nipped, and unless
later developments arise President Taft
will be renominated without opposi
ton. For awhile the Taft followers
were alarmed over the turn the Indiana
committeeman had taken and also fear
ed a fight in Ohio, which now appears
to have blown up with little or no
smoke.
For awhile Mr.. Taft found himself
drawn into a war between Postmaster
General Hitchcock, former national
chairman, and Harry New, committee
man from Indiana, The new people
accused Hitchcock of attempting to
prevent the naming of New as chair
man of the arrangements committee.
which names the temporary officers of
the national convention.
Mr.. New understood that he had the
backing Of Mr.. Taft for this place, and
the fight precipitated against him has
created an ugly situation.
The Roosevelt sentiment among ma.
tional committeeman is not confined to
enemies of the president. Many OF the
Republican leaders who profess to be
President Taft's friends and support
Republican who has chance ef lead.
ing the party to victory.
The threatened fight In Ohio against
President Taft's denomination Is based
'On the proposal to elect the delegates
at large of that state to the pationa
convention by presidential preference
primary. Walter Brown, chairman OF
the Ohio state central committee, ad
vocated such a course in "a public state
ment several days ago, declaring that
in his opinion, such a primary would
show that Colonel Roosevelt is the
choice Of the Republicans of Ohio.
Charles D. Hilles, secretary to tn,
president, is standing by New, while
Frank III. Hitchcock, Mr.. Taft's post
master general, is supposed to be lend
ing support to former Governor John
Hill of Maine, the present acting chair
man Of the national committee, and
others who are leading the fight agains'

matter have been made. but things arr

been better had the Sherman law nevrr
been enacted. To abolish it now. how
ever, would be unwise, as the law was
sustained In the public mind, and to
attack 1t would cause the people to
lose confidence in their legislators. II
was founded, however, on an economic
error. He said:
