REPUTATION IS HERE AT
STAKE BE CAREFUL AND D
NOT OVERREACH. LET THE
6RAND FOURTH OF JULY CELE-
BRATION DROP BECAUSE WE
MUST STICK TO OUR PRE
VIOUS AND HONORABLE EN
GA6EMENTS.
Only twelve days remain before the
seven hundred Texas teachers and the
twice seven hundred of their friends
will hpain to nour into the city. It is
time that all petty wrangling about per
eonal matters and questions of mere
detail of administration were stopped.
It ia most disheartening to one who
really has the welfare of El Paso at
haart t-i notice the flippant and alto
gether unworthy way in which a few of
our hualneaa men regard the whale
matter. It would be perhaps chari
table to ascribe their indifference to
an inability to realize the enormity of
the problem which we have to meet.
For many months years In fact El
Paso has been working to get some
ort of a crowd here. There have been
propositions for carnivals great cele
brations and meetings of varloua
sorts. Most of these have come to
naught. But at last through the ef-
forts of Superintendent Putnam of the
city schools and the cooperation of the
school board and the city council. El
Paso secured the annual convention of
the Texas State Teachers' association.
Here we have the crowd coming.
They are knocking at the door already.
There will be thousands of them. The
teachers themselves will form but a
small part of the whole number of
visitors. We have the crowd we have
been working for so long. And now
what do the people of El Paso propose
to do with it?
Plans have been prepared for an
elaborate series of entertainments.
The nresenee of such a large number
of orderly pleasure seekers will be of
the greatest benefit to the city espe-
cially at a time of year when the
natural tendency of business is to fall
off. The cut rate war of the railroads
is one of the greatest things that could
have happened to El Paso. With a
flat rate of five dollars all over Texas
there Is no telling what an enormous
crowd will come here to turn around
and see the eights.
Now to whom shall the people look
for the necessary organized effort in
behalf of the convention if not to the
chamber of commerce? That ia the
only organized body existing here. It
haa the machinery and the authority
to oarry on a great work- No one
wanta the chamber to involve itself
in any debt. That is not the thing.
But the chamber should certainly take
the lead and the management in all
the schemes for entertainment and
work the hardest kind of way for get-
tlog up an adequate enfrtainment.
It will take S1500 or S2000 to do the
thing- up right. The money should be
raised at once by a committee appoint-
ed by the chamber of commerce. The
funds of the chamber proper cannot be
used for any such purpose aa this tbey
being set aside for running expenses
exclusively and matters of a perman
ent nature. Every business man in the
olty understands perfeotly that he is
expeoted to contribute his share to-
ward the entertainment of any great
convention that may come here. But
some of the rulers of the chamber of
commerce have set themselves up
against the manifest interests of the
citv of El Paso and tbey should be
shown their duty and urged to do it
without further ado.
The chamber of oommerce and the
city are entirely and irrevocably com
mitted to this thing. Great quantities
of printed matter have been circulated
all over the state in Mexico and New
Mexioo. under authority from the
chamber. Large promises have been
made to break which would give El
Paso such a black eye all over the
Seuthwest that we might as well give
up all idea of getting any more con-
ventions. We must do about twice as
much as we have promised to do in
order to show our entire good faith.
But it will take money to do it and the
time ia very short in which to act.
The chamber of commerce waB or-
ganized partly for just such work. To
it the people look for leadership in all
things making for the public good. Its
policy must be broad and liberal as far
as may be without running the cham-
ber into debt which ia never a good
plan. Senseleea quibbling over trivial
matterseuch;a9 has characterized some
recent meetings of the board of
control ought to give way to discussion
that really has for its end the good of
the city and all its people.
There i no other organization that
can take care of these things and an
ephemeral "citizens' committee" would
not be half so effective. The chamber
represents the leading business men
and other public spirited citizens of
El Paso and its action stands for the
whole people. Let it act and act
quickly.
Money is wanted in large amounts.
Plana for this thing have been going
on for six for seven months. The whole
town has been fully cognizant of all the
arrangements through the public
presa. There ia no excuse for ignor
anoe.
El Paso is not a rich city. Yet she
la llbsral on occasion. But there is
limit beyond which our people cannot
go in putting up money for such pur-
poses as this. Now comes along a
email coterie well mean
ing who forgetting entirely
the obligation that resta upon the city
of El Paso and all its people to enter
tain the Texas visitors in a grand
style spring a Fourth of July celebra
tion on the people at the last moment.
This ia a most unfortunate move
ment. It ia follv to aay that the two
will not conflict. Tbey are bound to
conflict. People in general will not
give to both. The competition will
split up the financial backing eo that
neither can ba an entire success.
The plana for the entertainment ef
the teachers and the great crowd of
pleasure seekers who will accompany
them contemplate continuous band
concerts a grand electrioal illumina-
tion reoeptlona and other amuse
ments. They will all cost money aad
plenty of it. It will be the one ohanoe
El Paso has been yearning for for the
last few years to demonstrate her
powers to take care of a great orowd.
Here ia tbe opportunity. Shall we
let it go by? Ia It not better to carry
out our promises and a little more
with these people whom we have been
urging and urging to come to us and
who will come by the thousand expect
ing to see wonderful things and will
carry away permanent impressions
of good or ill than it ia to spend time
energy and moaey in getting up an
entirely new celebration for just a few
daya after the great convention to
bring at moet a few hundred people
here to have a little procession that
is pa3t and over in a few minutes to
burn up a lot of money in fireworks
to divide the popular interest and
damage both projects?
It is not a question of patriotism at
all. The Herald always favors
great rousing celebrations of the
national bolidaya. In time past this
paper haa always led tbe movement
and has been the greatest power be-
hind it. But in thia case it ia purely
a question of prior right. - We have an
engagement we have got to keep with
the Texana and to break It would be a
lasting disgrace.
We will observe the Fourth in some
suitable way. Macy of the decora
tions electrical and other tl at will be
put up for tbe Teaohers' convention
will remain in place. But since the
two appeals for money contributions
coming so close together are certain
to offset themselves to the losa of
b3th projecta the Fourth of July com
mittee ia respectfully asked to give
up the idea of soliciting subscriptions
of money from the business mea In
any large amounts this year. The
other convention had the field first.
We as a city are committed to the
Teachers' convention. The chamber
of commeroe is committed to it. We
must not let the project fail or falter
one whit for lack of financial sup-
port. The business men are urged to con-
centrate their contributiona thia year
in the convention fund because we
promised to do the thing up right
and it haa got to be done.
Indiana democrats who want sound
money are considering putting up
Dewey on a straight democratic nat-
ional ticket. Dewey seems to be for
sound money and they will put up with
his imperialism.
Dewey at Detroit talked freely
about hie candidacy but insisted that
it was only the principles that are
taught to schoolboys that everyone
has a chaooa of presidential possibili-
ties that made him run for the office.
The admiral comes In for gome of
the digs that are given to presidential
candidates otherwise his candidacy ia
not making much impression on his
countrymen. But there ia an out-
cropping of paragraphs insinuating
that if the country gave Dewey the
white house he'd turn right around
and give it away.
Sulzer of New York haa gone to
Kansas City to open up bis headquar-
ters as vice presidential oandidate.
He expeota to do a good business at
bis stand and claims to have Tammany
New York the democracy of Mas-
sachusetts and New Jersey and Michi-
gan Wisconsin Minnesota and Neb-
raska democracy ia his stock.
Senator Butler baa experienced
quite a wholesale change of heart. In
1696 he proclaimed of Bryan "That
name haa become a 6tench and re-
proach among the people and It will
not be supported now or hereafter"
but in 1900 the impressionable senator
from North Carolina haa an entirely
different opinion. He was the leading
spirit at Sioux Falls where the fusion
populist democrats nominated Bryan
without a question of his eternal fit-
ness to represent fusion democratic
populism and what it will do to the
UnitedStates.
Ir Bryan oan carry New York and
Indiana he baa a fighting chanoe; if
McKinley wins them republicanism
will roll up a bigger majority than
ever. Indiaaa is one of the states
where the democrats are openly
against fusion with populism and are
about at the point of putting up a
straight national gold democrat ticket.
Tammany conspicuously fights ahy ef
acquiescence in tbe ailver question
and Bryan's chances are pretty shaky
in both states unless he altera Bryaa
ism considerably. Bryan has the very
unlucky part of trying to eit on
tw stoola.
The Socialist Labor party in conven-
tion in New York city nominated
Joseph F. Malooey for president of tbe
United States and Valentin Rsmmelof
Pittsburg for vice president. The
plot continues to thicken but we have
yet the demopopuliata the republicans
tbe prohibitionists and perbapa the
gold democrats to hear from. By the
time all their candidates are named
tbe votera will have a dozen or nearly
to choose from. There ia some talk
also of the negroes organizing a natio
nal party and putting up a ticket.
Quite a variety of presidential and
vloe presidential timber for a country
that haa always been ruled by one or
the other ef two great parties.
Bryan in a magazine article an
nounces bimetallism as the paramount
Issue of the ooming campaign and
that the present security of moaev
under republicanism is but a false and
bloated good effect that demopopulism
will have to correct. Yet the opinion
is universal among the democratic of
bia followers that
they can shuat
Bryan'a silence
is unnatural and
predict what will
him off from silver.
Incomplete as It is
nobody pretends to
happen
to politics and politicians at
City except that both are
Kansas
likely to get
their lives.
the biggest mix up of
Bryanism is going to have a difficult
time trimming to fit all of the different
elementsof the Kansas City convention.
The straight democrats are every day
becoming more certain that the Kansas
City ticket and platform will be abso-
lutely unacceptable to a democrat. The
fusionist9 like fancy tiokets but there
are democrats all over tbe country who
want something Bound practical pro-
gressive to vote for. Horace Boise of
Iowa a prominent democrat and leader
has written of Bryanism; "The renoml-
nation of Bryan on the Chicago plat-
form reaffirmed means not only the de-
feat of our party next fall but it means
the practioal destruction o( tbe party's
Influence in national affairs for years
to come. If the Kansas City conven-
tion insists upon the nomination of
Bryan on a platform pledging the party
to free coinage at the exact ratio of
16 to 1 thema convention of conserv-
ative democrats will be held."
" I Thought I Would Never Be Well Again.
One of the saddest things that can hap-
pen to a woman is to fall into such a depth
of despondency through unnatural -weakness
and disease as to imagine that she can
never recover. " For two years." says
Mrs. W. G. Day of Trussville. Jefferson
Co. Ala. " I had suffered with weak-
ness headache pain in my back and
side which would become so sore that I
could hardly bear the weight of my
hand on it. I had cold hands and
feet and many other bad svnictoms
too numerous to mention. Home
physicians' treatment did me no
good. I had be-
come very despond-
ent and thought I
would never be well
again.
" But with a faint
heart I wrote to
Dr. R. V. Pierce of
Buffalo N. Y. and
described my symp-
toms as best I could.
He promptly an-
swered by letter
and sent me a treat-
ise on Woman and
Her Diseases ' ; he
also outlined a
treatment for me which 1 followed to the best of
my ability and after talcing six bottles of the
' Favorite Prescription I can truthfully say
that I felt like a new woman. In a few months
afterwards when I was suffering with the many
troubles due to pregnancy I procured ' Favorite
Prescription again and took it through that
time. 1 soon became very stout and felt well.
I was in labor only a short time and got alonjf
well: better than I ever did before. My baby is
a fine boy now two months old and has never
been sick any. I cannot find words sufficient
to express my praise of Dr. Pierce's medicine.
I never miss an opportunity to recommend it.
I hope all suffering ladies will consult him. for
they will be benefited by taking his medicine."
Letters to Dr. pierce are treated in the most
sacred confidence and never published without
permission and the most careful professional
advice is given by return mail free of charge.
Women would understand their own men-
tal and physical natures better; they would
make better wives and mothers; they would
be every way healthier happier and more
capable by reading and studying D.
Pierce's great thousand-page illustrated
book. The People's Common Sense Med-
ical Adviser. It is a veritable complete
family medical library in one magnificent
volume. More than half a million copies
have been sold at $1.50 each but a free
coPT. paper-bound will be sent to any
woman on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps
to pay the cost of mailing only; or if a
heavier handsome cloth -bound book is
preferred send 31 stamps.
