LexingtOn's Handicaps.

Lexington is damned with the
rottenest railroad service of any
town of her size in the United
States. The Missouri Pacific
railroad contributes more him
derance to the growth and pros
perity of Lexington than all
the other evil influences COM
bined. The passenger trains
are seldom, if ever, on time;
their discomforture and men
ace to the public health have
long been proverbial. The
freight service is even worse.
It now requires one whole week
for the Missouri Pacific railroad
to deliver Kansas City freight
to Lexington.
Along side the Missouri Pa
Iciic railroad is the Wells Fargo
& Co. Express. This company
fixes its own limits and bound
aries of delivery, and unless you
live within a stones throw Of
the court house, you must tote
your own packages.

HOW THE FARMERS OF
TEXAS LOOKED UPON
A FULL CREW BILL
Why Farmers Cooperative I'm
ion Defeated a Full Crew
Proposition in Texas
Legislature.

The present series oil articles
is intended as a brief campaign
of education on those matters af-
fecting railroads concerning
which the greatest misunder-
standing exists in the public
mind. AS has been stated be-
fore, the railroads and the people
face each other in a new relation
ship today. Not only do the peO-
pie say what rates the railroads
shall charge for service-but the
hour is at hand when all new
railroad securities will be sub
jected to federal and state sur
veillance before they can be Of
fered for sale and just as the
new currency system will make
the recurrence of a panic like
the one Of 1907 impossible in the
future, so questionable methods
Of railroad financing such as oc-
Cured under the old regime a
dozen years ago will be impossi-
bic from this time forward.
While the general public per-
haps does not realize it, there is
no more powerful factor for
clean business methods in the
Country today than the thOus.
ands of big business men in al
lines of industrial activity who
are demanding these methods
not only because they are right
but as a matter of protection
for themselves against those
who bring discredit upon the lin,
of activity in which they are en-
gaged.
Since the enactment of tn
Full Crew Bill" which wa
touched upon in last weeks ar
ticle would compel the railroad
of Missouri to ask for half mil
lion dollars larger yearly in
crease in rates than they vii
otherwise need, a little furthe
discussion of this proposition
may not be out of place.
Action of Farmers in Texas.
In this connection, the actio
of the Farmers Co-Operativ
Union of Texas which was chief
ly instrumental in defeating

Legislature of that state, shoul

How to Support Wilson.

If you are for Woodrow Wilson
and his policies you should vote
for Democratic candidates for
the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives who win support and
aid him in the execution Of those
policies. You cannot uphold him
by voting for Republicans who
will oppose him in the next Con-
gress, as they have in the pres
ent Congress.
If you believe that President
Wilson is a safe men; if you be
ieve that he is working for the
best interests of the country; if
you believe that the things
which he has done are based up
on right principles; if you be-
lieve that he should be allowed
to continue the work which he
has begun, you should vote for
the men who will uphold him.
Republicans in the next Senate
and House, for political purposes
will oppose him and his policies!
Democrats will sustain him.

connection made suggestions for the
 closer organization of the members :.
 Races for the coming summer sea- son, which features have proven so
 interesting to the people of the town, were discussed, the results of the victories of the North Clifton team being still green in the memories of the entire membership of the or ganization, that as yet unconquered team still holding the splendid trophy cup which has been their symbol of supremacy for length of time that appal1s the other three teams of the town. That the inter- est of the boys might not lag, the de- cision was reached that meetings similar to that of Saturday evening be held at least once each month.
 The Clifton Volunteer Fire Depart ment has proven it's great worth to the town, and judging from the ex- pressions of interest of the meeting Saturday evening, will in the com ing years be reckoned as among the most meritorious organizations of the community.

CLIFTON'S PEOPLE NOW
 LEARN THE FRANCOIS STEPS

Miss Dorothea Mcknight, of Bis bee, arrived last week in Clifton, for the purpose. of instructing the physi- cally lively of Clifton regarding the proper manner of executing the new tango and related dances. Her sue cess in point of attendance at her classes has been gratifying, many couples of those interested being on the floor of the Princess on the even ing of Monday, there to grasp to the fullest the ectasies of the 'Hesita- tion Waltz,'" and the blisses of the Soul Dip" and this in addition to the real and true tango itself.
 Classes meet for instruction on the evenings of Monday and Thursday. A total of five lessons will be taught At our neighboring town of Morenci also this teacher is instructing.

ICE PLANT ALMOST READY
 TO RESUME OPERATION.
After Several Months of Discontinu- ance Because of Renovation the Clifton Industry Will Resume
 Probably April 1.

Messrs. T. M. Vaughn and Ellis Wright, of the Clifton Ice Plant, an- nounce that expectations are that the making of ice, which since November 1, 1913, has been discontinued be- cause of campaign of renovation, will probably again begin on April 1.
 During the past months, the plant has been completely renovated, all of which will result in greatly in creasing the capacity, which former ly was ten tons per day, and which day. Another boiler will be added, and this, with the plentiful power of the engine, will suffice to greatly in- crease the output. With the eXcep- tion of the boiler, all equipment is new and of the most modern The ammonia pipes especially are of the best Two large ice storage rooms are built, with a capacity sufficient to enable the accumulation of a sur plus supply of ice that will enable patronage to be supplied during any possible breakdown of the machin- cry.
 In view of the very limited space available for the site of the plant, which is nestled against the perpin- dicular cliffs opposite the A. c. Co.'S. store, the present buildings are in- deed creditable.
 About fifteen men have been en- ployed on this renovation since Nov ember 1.

AUTOMOBILE AND STAGE HACK
 COLLIDE ON MORENCI ROAD
Cansler Service Automobile CoIlides With Stage Hack Driven by J. w. Williams, With Result that Horse is Mangled and Hack
 Partially Destroyed.

1 The passenger automobile owned by b. M. Cansler, of .Morenci, and
 driven by L. M. Fitchet, collided at
 about four o'clock on the afternoon
 of Saturday, February 21, on the Clifton -Morenci road at a point on the high dividing mountain between the two towns with a stage hack driven by J. W. Williams, of Cliff ton.
 One of the horses of the hack was injured to the extent that it was Hound necessary to shoot it, it's leg being broken so badly that it was completely ruined for service. Sher- the accident and shot the animal. The hack was badly demolished, the tongue being broken from the body of the hack, besides other damages.
 The narrow width of the road is with the slippery surface caused by the recent r i n l said to have been partly responsible for the accident, the outer margin of the road not being sufficient to enable the automobile to clear the hack, the driver fearing trie skidding. The machine was travelling toward Morenci, while Williams, who for years has been engaged in the Cliff ton-Morenci service, was coming to- ward Clifton. This accident, with the many others which have recently resulted, are causing drivers to be- come aware of the necessity of ex- treme caution in negotiating the mountain roads of this section, roads at many points being directly over precipices, thus making almost cer- tain death the result of collisions at such points.
 Immediately after the accident, MT. Cansler generously offered to pay MT. Williams the full amount of the loss, which was accepted. He also gave Mr. Williams the use of horse pending the purchase of another to replace the horse injured.
 Both vehicles were filled with pas sengers at the time of the collision, but all escaped injury, as did the large Velie automobile concerned in the accident.

 Term Promises to be of Length
 Two criminal and a number of civil cases are yet to be tried at the pres ent term of court, thus indicating that number of days will elapse before the last of jurors wend their way to their homes. In addition to the AL Ian criminal case, the state has case against Jas. Baker, accused of grand larceny. And a portion of the civil cases not yet tried would appear to be of such nature that days will e1apse in the conclusion of each Methodical dispatch has been the rule in the present term, which, all told, will perhaps be regarded as one of the most interesting in the history of Greenlee's Superior Court.
