VISIT THE PEcos FAIR.
Pecos, Tex, Aug. %

Pecos, Tex. Aug. 29.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
We have been somewhat surprised
to note that while your paper has had
several articles urging the people and
business men OF FL Paso to attend the
fairs at Las Cruces and Roswell, that
nothing has been said as regards the
big Pecos fair and old settlers reunion,
to occur in this city September IA and
Is. We are enclosing you the official
announcement of this celebration and
believe in all candor that the Pecos
fair is a more important fair than
either the Roswell or Las Cruces cele-
brations
Not only are there more buildings
under construction in this city at this
time than at Roswell and Las Cruces
combined, but it is here in Pecos that
the pumped water irrigation agitation
is at its best and it is here in the Pc
cos section that actual demonstration
has proved beyond question the success
of such method of irrigation. Here Is
located the only irrigated pumped wa
ter experimental farm in the world, for
which Texas has appropriated $4,000 for
1912 and $4,000 for 1913 for its opera
ton. 1t is a fact undisputed that more
hcmeseekers pass through the Pecos
Pecos valley combined and it is like
wise a fact that this city has put up
for public enterprise more than 5000, goo
during the past IS months, and has
built and is building some Of the most
modern churches and business struct-s
ures in the southwest
And what is more, it is also fact
that The Pecos fair will be handled on
equally as large q scope as the Roswell
or Las Cruces celebrations, and we
therefore believe that FL Paso should
by all means see our fair. We glory
in the enterprise which is giving TO
the three secondary cities of the south
west, or extreme southwest-Roswel.
Las Cruces and Pecos-good agricul-
tural fairs and we believe they all de-
serve credit, but we say in all candor
that mattering not how excellent the
fairs may be in either OF the two New
Mexico towns, the Pecos fair is going
TO be a revelation to the thousands of
east Texans, Oklahomans and other
fasteners who are going to attend.
The Texas & Pacific railway, realiz-
ing the vast Importance of the Pecos
fair, has granted the rate of one fare
for the round trip to Pecos from all
points along its line from Texarkana
TO FL Paso, and the Santa Fe railway
has granted a one and one-fifth rate.
we trust, under such conditions. and
when 1t is considered that Pecos has
ty long odds made the greatest pro-
gress of any city. large or small, rela-
tively or not, in the Southwest in the
past two years. that Ell Paso may not
pass up the fair here. Large numbers
of people are going TO come TO Pecos
from Dallas and Fort Worth

1t is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unirnpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mothers
Friend, a remedy that has been so
long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but a preparation which
always produces the best results. 1t
is for exernal application and so pen
Grating IN its nature as to thoroughly
lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. It aids nature by ex-
banding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove comfort and benefit to any
woman IN need of such a remedy.

Living on S1.25 a Week

Under the British old age pension act an aged pauper has the option of living in the workhouse or of going back into the world to live on shllings, or SIPS q week About 20 per cent of the eligible paupers accept the pension and proceed 10 live on s1.25 week.
 To provide food, lodging and clothes on sl25 a week would be laughed at in this country, but England is not afflicted with an Aldrich tariff or with many monopo- lies and trusts, and what cannot be done here is possible there.
 The English papers report the case of a plucky old man. over 70, who lived in London cn his pension. His lodging for Il week cost S4 cents. His food was meagre in the extreme. One day, how ever, he was apparently very hungry or very TeShleSS LOT ne spent eO C6HtS TOT food and beverage. including 27 cents for beer. The next day ne did penance for lis extravaganza by<eating combination breakfast, dinner and supper which cost 1 cents. He looked every day for. work, and in the course of the week was able to earn IS cents. There would have teen a serious deficit, amounting 70 nearly s2 at the end of the week, if friends had not come to his relief.
 In the English rural districts no, few old people are living comfortably on the government pension, and even in London a man may live on s1.25 week. He can not. however, indulge freely in beverages.

no law against Sunday concerts; hence series of orchestra performances was arranged for this season. The initial concert was given last Sunday afternoon and 1t was an artistic success.
 The music lovers of Birmingham, with a reasonable degree of cooperation, could start an organization early in the coming fall for the purpose of providing ways and means for Sunday orchestral concerts which would be almost sure to become popular. A few hundred season tickets sold for moderate price would be sufficient to insure the management against loss. A project such as this would certainly be worth trying. There is scarcely any city of 10000 population in this country where a creditabe concert orchestra is not maintained.

MT. Taft's Appeal to the Farmer

The Presidents speech delivered on fri-
 day at the Corn exposition in Columbus O., was wholly admirable with the sole
 tectionism, and that was excusable com ing as 1t did from the orator of Winona. His advocacy of Canadian reciprocity was flawless, and his Columbus speech plainly shows that his whole heart is in the reciprocity. campaign which he origi- mated, and for which he asks the support of the farmers of the country
 The pending proposition, formulated by the Washington and Ottawa administra- tions is in the form of an agreement. The following provision in the agreement suf- fciently explains the official situation
 Tt is agreed that the desired tariff changes shall not take the formal shape of treaty, but that the governments of the two countries will use their ut most efforts to bring about such change by concurrent legislation at Washington and Ottawa"
 In other words, the proposition is not Q
 matter of ratification that could be acted
 on this year or next year or even five years hence. The proposition calls flor
 utmost legislative efforts both at Wash
 ington and at Ottawa. At Washington action would be expected either at this
 session or at an extra session. Failure
 to act at one or the other would be con
 strued as a lapse of the entire agree ment. It is not a matter that the tories in London have anything to do with. It is strictly a piece of business to be put in legislative enactments at Washington and Ottawa
 The President will call an extra session beyond all reasonable doubt if the Senate | fails to act on the concurrent resolution
 sent to it by the House. Publie senti-
 ment in the country at large plainly sup
 ports the reciprocity proposition, and if
 ''the old guard in the Senate gets in the way of 1t an extra session with an im- | mediate revision of the tariff looms up An obstructive element in the Senate would simply operate to hasten the adop- | ton of the agreement and the revision of
 some at least of the more obnoxious | schedules of the Aldrich tariff. The coun- | try stands to gain even if the senatorial standpatters do make asses of them selves.

Effect of Any Marked Tendency

Any vote in legislative body or in pri- mary or general election where the con servative side wins over the radical ele- ment. has a far-reaching effect for good, even if the vote does not mean conclu- s,va settlement of the question at issue. This Is based on the theory of so intan- r,ble A thing as tendency. right ten oeucy Is not only morally stimulating, but if has a practical bearing on material values. Tn politics a marked tendency Tn any direction has an influence on the larger business world, and that Is why the stock market is sensitive to rumors and often rises or falls on the drift or some particular debate in Congress. Wall .treet usually discounts the formal an- nouncement of a governmental policy and if invariably anticipates the action Of Congress on any grave measure. And Tn like manner investors and men of affairs
 
 fin general are optimistic or pessimistic ac- cording as the people by their votes or legislatures by their attitude indicate tendencies friendly to capital or tenden cies that seem antagonistic.
 Early in the term of Alabama's last leg .-,....-. .o administration hill passed which put a tax on foreign loans. It was a very small tax, almost infinitesimal. but the tendency was felt, and the effect on the state was so hurtful that the legisla- lure. in response to public sentiment, struck ont that section of the revenue law
 When the legislature in special session fin 1909 adopted severe sumptuary, laws making drastic prohibition statewidf with nut the consent of the governed, the ten- dency was quickly reckoned with by the outside world, and Alabama got one of the worst advertisements lmasinaple ooh- versely, when the people voted down the radical measure which sought to ineorpo- rate prohibition in the constitution, the good effect was electrical And so it was when the lower house of the legislature last Thursday adopted by a large major ity the Parks local option bill. That bill must yet run the gauntlet in the senate, but the very fact that a victory for con servatism was won in the first gage or battle, a feeling of elation pervaded bus iness circles in all the cities of Alabama, and cheers went up from solid business men in the various sections of the eoun- try. And so it will ever be when tendency is clearly significant.
