He HTS an OR FAULTS.

Editor FL Paso Herald;
Here are a few observations made
from g stay OF several months IN 81
Paso, by a veteran OF the late war
and a health seeker:
FIrst-EI Paso. which is a very
dry town. boasts Of our drinking
fountain. which is in the plaza This
the caretaker leaves turned on in
such a way that scarcely any water
Is running, and II Is necessary 10
swallow the white bulb to get a
small drink OF water, which is de-
cidely unsanltary.
Second-The exhorbitaut price the
laundries charge here, is due TO the
very high wages paid the help, s.
20 Sc per week. also the increased
price OF lumber IS close 10 the sane
cause: the. pay their help 81 per day
To have q real prosperous city II
is necessary 70 pay living wages 70
labor; then the laborinE man VIII
take pride in keeping up his home
and be an asset 10 the city IGess
Mexican Iabors, are anything but an
asset. and no pride or enterprise Is
shown.
II they persist in speaking 1Iezi-
can and living the Mexican way. why
don't they 80 back 10 Mexico where
they belong2
Third-The dairy inspector must be
very lax in his duties. A visit TO the
dairles out Fort Bliss way, or out
In the Val Verde district would
surely cure one OF ever wanting 10
drink milk again. The filth and dirt
Of some Of these diaries is some
thing awful
Fourth-Nfne out OF ten men I
meet are decidedly against prohibit
ton, especially the health seeker.
This will be the leading issue in
next campaign. The word is being
quietly passed along TO vote for no
prohibition candidate at the next
election They put this over on US
when we were away. Ny state voted
wet. but the brilliant legislature
ratifies the amendment just the same.
A good glass OF beer Or wine Is 10
times better for one than these soft
drinks and coed. pure whisky IS the
best medicine OF which I know There
is such a thing as temperance with
out prohibition
