QUESTION OF LIGHTS
IMPORTANT One
Should Have the Attention
of Every Citizen and Busi-
ness Man in Carrizozo Who
Want Town improvements
TOWN AND COMMUNITY WILL
PROFIT FROM STREET LIGHTS

We do not mean to declare that
CarrizoEO is dead town just be
cause things have worked together
to make II at present q dark town
Those who like the town OF Carrizo-
20 best are those who are best
acquainted with 1t, and no one en-.
terprlse OF Carrizozo is stronger for
its home town than the Outlook.
We are we'll aware that private
parties have subscribed generously
for street lights for Carrsozo The
best obtainble gas lights on substan
tia iron posts have been provided
for the principal corners, and for
a considerable time these lights
were kept up by thess same public
spirlted men, purchased gasoline
for these lights to consume when the
moon was not on job, and paid q
man TO look after them, 20 see that
they we're kept in good working
order aud to generate and light the
lamps before night took full charge
of our hustling little commonwealth,
Who got the benefit OF these
tights? The whole town aud cou-
munity alike reaped the good re-
suits OF the system. But who paid
FOR them? A very few enterprising
spirits who wanted to see the town
move forward and were willing to
dig deep to keep things moving in
the right direction But naturally
the regular call for each to keep
the lights on duty for all made a
rather discouraging prospect when
the burden was borne by the few.
So the "favored few" began to
loose from its ranks those who re-
fuse to be ridden to marke and
then sold. In other words public
ingratitude dampened even the ard.
orof Carrizozo's live ones. because
there is nothing like appreciation
in keeping enthusiastic boosters con.
stantly doing their favorite stunts
And so the lights, the best oh.
tainable, when they we're installed,
have been neglected because pro-
vision for their maintenance ceased
to be made. Can you blame the
burden bearers for eeasing to longer
be the goatY
What is the solution? Incorpor.
alton, no more, Ro less. Let a
reasonable property tax be levied
20 support the towns improvements
and all will share the burden pro-
portionste,E OF course the business
men and larger property holders
will shoulder most Of the levy, but
they are the ones who have been
footing the bills any way and lii will
bring a system into play to make
the burden fall where It should.
Nor should the required levy be
excessive as nominal tax will put
the city treasury to the good and
the much needed lights be easily
realized.
The Alto Light g. Power Co
have extended their electric lines to
Carrizozo and already practically
every citizen has modern lights In.
stalled both In his home and place
Of business Let us pull together
and do the same for the streets of
the town. Talk incorporation for
that's the only practical way to
talk street lights for Carrisozo.
And TO talk street lights Is the only
way to talk peogress into the town

Where King Served
The most conspicuous 10 the
employment Of w. L. Macken-
zle King In activities for the
sole benefit OF the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company and for
which he should have been paid
by that corporation.
The letter from Jerome ID. Greene,
secretary OF the foundation. stated
that Rockefeller and Greene "as
directors of large Industrial enter
prises" desired Kings services.
Nothing was said about any philan-
thropic purpose. Yet King has been
paid a large salary and liberal ex.
penses by the Rockefeller founda-
ton, altho his only active service
has been advice TO the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company as to the
settlement of labor troubles. Other
corporations pay large fees for such
advice from other similarly quail

THE SITUATION THAT
DEMOCRACY FACES
BY JONATHAN BOURNE, JR.

Benjamin Harrison carried twenty
states and won the Presidency. Those
states are: California, Colorado, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu-
sets, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, Wisconsin. In the electoral college
OF 1916 these states will have 286 votes,
while majority of the college is only 200
I'm 1888 Harrison failed to win in Con
necticut, New Jersey and West Virginia.
These states in 1916 will cast % electoral
votes
Since 1888 the territories of Idaho,
Montana, New Mexico North Dakota, Okla
homa, South Dakota, Utah, Washington,
and Wyoming have been erected into
states, and they will cast As electoral votes
in 1916
The foregoing states have total of
800 electoral votes, or "a more than are
necessary for an election
mo reasoning Democrat makes any claim
that Wilson can this year carry New York,
Illinois, Indiana or Ohio. Few Democrats
OF any kind claim that Wilson can carry
New Jersey. 1t remains to be seen, then,
where, in the above list of states, the Re-
Publicans are in any danger of losing and
what thoco loccoc will o,,oo,,o4
I'm California it may be that the Hiram
Johnson party will again run wild and thus
give the state to Wilson. California has
Ii electoral votes.
Colorado has gone Republican only
since 1888. That state has six votes
Nevada with three votes has been Re-
publican only once since 1883.
Nebraska has twice voted for Bryan
but this is no sign that she will vote now
fol- Wilson.
Idaho has shown divided allegiance
since she became state. So, too, have
Montana and Wyoming. While Oklahoma
and New Mexico have given their electoral
votes to the Democrats
For the sake of argument we may as
sumo that all these states will go for Will
son. In that case we must subtract 54
votes from the total 400 of Republican
probabilities. There would still be left
800 Republican votes in the electoral col
lege-or majority OF 81, reasonably GER
tain.
Moreover the chanc, are more than ever
that Missc curtis l8 votes will be found in
the Republican column; and there is a
fighting chance Of carrying Kentucky and
Maryland against Wilson. Oklahoma, TOO,
is debalable ground and in no one Of the
states which have here been classed as
probably Democratic can be said that the
Republican cause is without hope.
in short, The political dope sheet for
1910 is overwhelmingly Republican"

The Horsa Upstairs.

Not long since we were riding on an elevated train in Chicago. We looked out of the car, and there, right at our elbow, was horses head, thrust through the upper floor window of brick building. It was a startling thing. We felt like saying, "Now, what on earth are you doing up here, old man?" But the horse appeared to be very much at home. No doubt he lived there, twenty feet or so from the ground. It was like jail. He had no barn lot or pasture. When his days work was over he was taken direct from the wagon to his upstairs stall. Rents were too high for his owner to furnish 6 stall on the ground. He never had a chance to "roll over" or to nibble at bit of fresh plowed earth. Yet that horses life in the city was no more artificial and abnormal than the life of the average city man. The man goes of his own accord. however, and the horse has no choice in the matter. Probably the horses wonder why men want to hive together like bees.-Farm Life

Surprises In War.

In warfare the elements of surprise" counts for very great deal.
 Troy would not have been captured by the Greeks had it not been for the surprise sprung upon the Trojans by the gigantic wooden horse in which Greek soldiers concealed themselves, stealing out ill the nighttime to open the gates of the city to the Greek army.
 Pyrrhus would never have gained his victory over the Romans had he not brought his elephants. into the field. These gigantic creatures as they plow- ed their way through the Roman ranks struck terror into the hearts of the sol diers who had never before engaged in battle in which elephants took part.
 Hannibal, the great Carthag ginian gen. eral, would never have captured one of the chief Alpine passes had he not hit on the happy idea of fastening torches to the horns of 2,OOO oxen, lighting the torches when it got dark and driving the beasts toward the Ro- man camp. Seeing the moving lights, the company guarding the pass thought their comrades were in danger and hastened to their rescue, thus leaving the way clear for Hannibal and his men to get through
