PEOPLES FORUM

We read yesterday morning with
u great deal of interest, and not
without a smile, subsiding into u
grin, the articles so carefully,
thoughtfully and astutely prepared
and run in tile editorial columns Of
our local daily, The Fatrmont
Times"
1t has ever been the policy OF the
Democratic party in its vigorous and
untiring efforts, to gain and hold
! control Of the government Of our
city, to grasp, at all times, at every.
straw which it has reason to believe
will result in preludicing the minds
Of citizens against he policies
and administration Of the great par
ty which has done so much for our
county in the past.
In the request, or demand, on tAe
part of the Republican party Of this
city, as represented in its mandamQsS
proceeding, the members Of the Re-
publican party believed that they
had a right to representation on the
election boards of the city as sug-
gcsted and recommended by their
city executive committee, and 1t
would seem from the opinion OF, and

Why is it. may VIC ask that the
Democratic party is 81 deeply inter

It that deep and profound interest

DESTROYING THE ALAMO.

Americans nave been accused OF I
lack of reverence for great hislQrl
places, and the charge must be true
is the Texans have begun to tea
|own the Alamo which Crockett anC
Bowie and Bonham and Travis an
heir comrades defended to the las
man against the hordcs Of Santa

If there is any deathless story II
AmerlCun history it is this. For It's
like you will have to so back more
han two thousand years to Leonidas
md his three hundred Spartans In
The Pass OF Thegmopylae. There is
10 American who has not thrlileu
when lie read the tale. The Texans
numbered but 1863, and Santa Anna
bought up his thousands. While a
way Of escape was yet open, Travis
addressed the Texans and said that
any who wished could go, but the
,thers would stay and die. They
stayed.
The event stirred the whole civil
lived world, and when Il few months
.ater the Texans under Sam Houston
destroyed the Mexican army al San
Iacinto, Remember the Alamo!" was
heir battle cry.
The old building, of COURSE, has
suffered from decay, and some years
ago the state made an appropriation
for its restoration. But the money
,avo out, and now the upper story
has been torn away and much Of tho
restored material has been sold fol

GOVERNOR PATTERsON's SPLEEN.

Twice elected governor Of Wien

came to the big Columbus anti-so-

companied by Governor Ben W.

Endorsement to a nationwide pro-

a common "tie that binds, exist

machine and this new party that

the lines Of Progressiveisn that they
are magnanimous enough 10 release
their own hold upon the government
and place this new party at the head
of our municipal affairs? Are the
platforms and policies Of the Demo-
cratic and Progressive parties SO
nearly one, that it makes little or
no difference to the organization in
power whether it, or the party whose
cause is so jealousy champions n

Three Police Women
Added to the Force in
Ell Paso by the Mayor

FL Paso has three women policeman
in addition to deputy sheriff Mrs EN-
ma Webster. These are duly sworn in
and have the same authority to make
arrests given to the men policeman
The pOlicewOmen are Mrs c. A Hooper,
superintendent of the charity assO-
citation; MISS Juliette Barlow, baby
district nurse; and Mrs. L. P. Jones'
visiting tubercular nurse. The only
difference between the pOlicewOmen
and the policemen is that the women s
commission from the mayor reads
This does not authorize the party to
carry firearms, except when on duty"
The main work. done by these women
police will be to enforce sanitary
of their work lies and in other parts
of town, and to make arrests in any
case of child abuse One arrest has
already been made by Mrs. c. A
Hooper While this will be their par
ticular line of work, they have the
same power as man to make any
arrest. any time they feel it necessary.

quent children who would otherwise
have to be sent to the city Jail until
their cases could be investigated. This
home, with the relief work, will occupy
the first floor of the settlement house,
and will have Mrs. J. 3. Gunter, Of
Durham, n. c., as matron. The upper
floor will be used as a charity emer-
gency hospital for emergency and ma
ternity cases. There is a very great
need for such place, as charity cases
cannot be received at the county hos
pial unless the applicant has lived in
Ell Paso at least two months.
During the past month the charity
association has given more relief to

PARALYSIS. APOPLEXY. DISEASES
OF THE HEART.

Dr. Collins SAYS these diseases are
| caused by hearty eating, using purga-
tives, various mineral waters and stimu-
lants. Overeating eXhausts the spinal
nerves leading to digestive organs, the
sympathetic nerves are excited by pur-
gatives, mineral waters and stimulants
and the unnatural strain upon them
causes them to cramp and congest.
