A Rare Chance
T IS NOT OFTEN that the voters of this city are given the chance to. elect to
municipal office such exceptionally well fitted men as those who compose
the Citizens' ticket. The ticket is composed of prominent business men and
professional men who have not made politics their business bat who have consented
to ran on the Citizens' ticket solely because they have a high sense of public duty.
One of the Citizens' candidates for alderman is president of the chamber of
commerce, and was general passenger agent of the El Paso & Southwestern system
until he retired to enter private business
The Citizens' candidate for mayor is
.......
and manufacturers m tne sou in west.
Another Citizens' candidate for alderman is a successful wholesale and retail
merchant who was superintendent of the public schools in El Paso for 16 years.
Another Citizens' candidate for alderman is a building contractor who has been
engaged in some of the most important building operations that have been carried
on in El Paso. ' t
Another Citizens' candidate for alderman recently retired as district superin
tendent of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express company after more than 25 years service
in this community.
The Citizens' candidate for treasurer is president of the El Paso County
Medical society.
The Citizens' caaiidate for assessor and collector has been a Southern Pacific
auditor for jaaay years.
The Citizeas' caaSidate for recorder is a lawyer af excellent standing.
All of the principal candidates en the Citizens' ticket are large taxpayers,
successful in business and professional life, men of family, men of long residence
in El Paso and the southwest, men ef clean lives and high personal standing, men
of right instincts and high ideals of cine welfare, men of recognized integrity and
ability, men who have always been active in city betterment, and men who have
not made politics their business, bat who have never shirked the obligations of
citizenship.
What more can the honest, conscientious citizen, earnestly desirous of the best
for his city, ask for in a body of candidates for municipal office, than the posses
sion of such qualifications as those JHst outlined?
The Herald repeats that there can be only a few occasisns in a lifetime when
such a group of men can be induced to become candidates for the city offices It
would be a distinct loss to the city, really a disaster, if this chance should be
allowed to pass and these men sent down to defeat, either through opposition, or at
the hands of that foe which is even worse to be feared: Apathy. The city as a
whole has much to gain by the success of the Citizens' ticket, and much to lose
by its failure.
For the first time in a long period, the "ring" has not got the majority of the
qualified vote "cinched." The heavy vote in the primary was the result of the
hardest kind of work on the part of the "ring" workers, who were instructed to
"get out a heavy vote" .for the sole purpose of pledging doubtful voters to the
"ring" ticket.
There was no opposition at the polls in the primary, and there was no motive
for the hard work that was done except to pledge the primary voters to the bosses.
A good many men new heartily regret that they allowed themselves to be
made tools of, aad allowed themselves to be induced to become a party to the
bosses' scheme.
Outside of the 1800 votes at the primary, there are 3000 qualified voters in the
city, having poll tax receipts. Assuming for argument's sake that the 1800 votes
polled by the "ring" at the primaries are matched man for man by 1800 voters who
will vote for the Citizens' tkket next Tuesday, that leaves 1200 on fighting
ground, or so many of the 1200 as will vote at all.
The sentiment for the Citizens' ticket is largely of the quiet sort that makes
little show or noise. There will be a considerable body of voters at the polls on
Tuesday who have not declared themselves at all but who will vote for some or
all of the Citizens' tkket. The "ring" vote is a known quantity to a certain de
gree, by reason of past experience. But the Citizens' vote will be in doubt until
every ballot is cast and counted.
Everything will deoend on the personal work of fiiends of the Citizens' ticket
There has been no time to form and perfect such an organization as could compete
upon strictly machine methods with the organization of the office holders and
their friends and beneficiaries. But in view of the unusually high class of men
who comprise the Citizens' ticket, and in view of the public sentiment in favor of
a change, whkh has been rising slowly but surely, it ought not to require much of
an organization to bring the Citizens' ticket to victory next Tuesday.
Read the Oath of the Boys of Athens on the front page today. If you are a
"ring" man first, last, and all the time, regardless of public 'welfare and public
interest, just sneer at the fine sentiment of that ancient oath, and shout for
special privilege, for public partnership with crime, for private juggling with public
money, and for continued obstruction to civic progress.
If you have high ideals for your city, and if you desire an administration
that will lead in all tasks of civic progress, development, and welfare, read that
Oath of the Boys of Athens over and over, and highly resolve to do what you can
to make good with it.
To elect the Citizeas' ticket, every vote will be needed. Every man and woman
favoring the election of the Citizens' ticket must contribute personal work to make
success sure.
If the men of El Paso will all vote; and if they will vote their honest con
victions, their honest and intelligent choice between man and man, as to those can
didates that are best fitted -to administer the city government; and if the votes
be honestly counted; the Citizens' ticket will win.
This is an unusual chance to do something that will be of great and permanent
benefit to your city. It will be a long, time before a group of such men can again
be found to become candidates on a municipal ticket.
This election presents the first chance in many years for the Great Majority
to assert itself in the choice of local governing officials. A real minority has long
been allowed to run El Paso. Will the majority stand idly by and let this thing go
on? The taxpayers, who to a very large extent have been disfranchised under
"ring" rule, have a chance at last to take things in their own hands.
If you have the slightest regard for the duties of citizenship, vote, vote on
Tuesday, vote for somebody, and vote for some or all of the Citizens' ticket if you
desire to help bring about a change in local government.
Whatever you do, don't "forget" to vote, and don't hang back and whine
"What's the use?"
Political incompetency and corruption thrive on Apathy, but they cannot
-withstand Determined Opposition.
Perhaps this "ring" is a house of cards. Give it a whack and find out. It
would be refreshing to have local officials who would work in the light, and who
would not have to.be begged or driven to do their plain duty.

The Studio
A Short Story.
fcfcf-g-HEN that Is quite settled.
j Dominique, that you are going
to marry?'
"I must, dear."
"I do not blame you. I have no re
proach. But it is you who have given
me' all the happiness I have known In
life. I met you and found all that any
woman wishes for. I have been under-
J stood- Iovfd and adored. I have had a
i iut;tra aim a. jv ci m juu. a. ucvcs
sary that ou should make your own
life, that jou should marry. Then when
you grow old you will have a home. I
have one myself, though I have never
found happiness there. Yes. it is right
that you should marry, Dominique and
I am 36."
She bent over Dominique and stroked
his face with her beautiful hands.
"You are handsome," she said very
gently. "You have a long youth before
you. Be happy."
"Shall you miss me. Jeanne?"
"All my life. You have given me
what no one can take from me, your
love. I thank you, thank you from the
bottom of my heart"
It was growing dark in the studio
where Mme. Sydose and Dominique
were sitting. The divan, covered with
Turkish rugs, the walls hung with cost
ly oriental silks, the marble busts, the
little tables with curios, the confes
sional in the corner surmounted by a
statue of Buddha, everything was swal
lowed up in the gray darkness.
It was an evening df poetry and il
lusion when the last rays of the sun
seemed to have touched, transformed
and glorified everj thing with a magic
wand.
"You will be happy," whispered Mme.
Sydose. "and you deserve to be happy."
She kissed his lips tenderly.
"What are you going to do with this
studio"' she asked.
"I will have to give it up and scat
ter all it contains. If ever my wife
heard "
"What"' cried Mme. Sydose, just in
her inmost soul, "could you think of
scattering all our souvenirs? Listen,
Dominique, I am rich and I do as I
please. Mv husband never cares about
my affairs. I will lease this studio in
my name and I will come here often at
this hour. I shall feel at home here, as
nowhere else m the -world."
Tbe following month Dominique de
Trevoux went to fulfil his destiny to
marry Clemence Brogier.
The years passed and brought their
usual changes, terrible events shook
Kurope. comets were seen in the sky
and there were wars and epidemics, but
life went' on blooming like a rose
among ruins.
One evening Dominique, wandering
along the quay of the port, saw light
through the windows of his old studio.
H- thought of Mme Svdose and in the
darkness he mouT l the narrow, cold
stairway. When . reached the top
floor he struck a m itch to find -which
door to knock on And when it was
opened he saw Mme. Sydose. She had
giown old and pale and her hair was
white, but Trevous with his bent back
and his tired expression looked older
still.
"You see." she said gently, "I was
waiting for you."
He entered Nothing was changed in
the studio There was the divan with
the Turkish rug .and the oriental silk
hangings on the walls, tbe confessional
and the Buddha and on the table a.
boquet of paper chrysanthemums sim
ilar to those he had brought at their
last meeting. Fond memories and the
thought of her faithfulness moved
Dominique to tears.
"Have you heard about my life 7' he
asked.
Mme. Sydose silently bowed her
head.
"You know that my -wife ran away
with my best friend and that I am
alone ami ridiculous?"
"You are not ridiculous. Dominique.
but you are suffering. I knew that
seme time you would return and I have
been here nearly every afternoon dur
ing the last 15 years."
"And jour daughter?"
"She is married and lives at Hanio.
My husband is always 'n his club. It is
well so, for he is more disgusting to
me than ever."
It was a beautiful evening. The wa
ter was almost without a ripple and
the white sail glistened in the moon
light, but everything seemed changed
and sad. 7
"Did you love your wife, Dominique?"
Mme. Sydose asked and sat down on
the divan at the side of her old friend.
"As I loved you. Jeanne "
He buried his head in his hands and
sobbed, great heartrending sobs which
shook his whole body.
"Oh, what a treacherous friend!
"What a "cruel friend'" said Mme. Sy
dose. "But you have not lost every
thing, Dominique, as long as I am still
here, as long as I have not forgotten
you my love will soften your sorrow.
My presence will make you feel less
lonely. I have tried nothing, I have
not lived since your marriage. My hour
had passed. I live In my memories. Life
has broken and crushed you, Dominique,
but the memory of love remains. You
will come here, as you used to, every
evening, and you -will find me here and
we will talk together like brother and
sister. Our youth is gone. We will talk
about the past'"
Is my life then really over. Jeanne?
IL 7f. feW days" and J must already i
resign
"You must"
"But my heart is young, and I still
love Clemence. Must I give up every
hope of seeing her again?"
"You must"
"Oh, Jeanne! Jeanne' It is hard. Tell
me; what shall I gain by giving up
everything?"
"Dominique." she replied, "you will
to grow old in peace."

Oakland, California

Author of "At Good Old SlTrash."
o
AKLAXD is one of the few cities
in history that have been built
hv an earthauake.
Earthquakes are. as a rule, extremely
unhealthy lor cities and depresss the
bank clearings and real estate quota
tions to an alarming degree. But Oak
land's patron saint, rabbit's foot ami
first friend is the earthquake, whicn
jiggled its neighbor, San Francisco, in
1906.
Oakland at that time had 75,000 peo
ple and was all stretched out of shape
trying to maintain metropolitan airs.
Two days after the earthquake it had
300,000 people. Unfortunately the cen
sus didn't come along in time to pre
serve all of this population in the census
records, but in 1910 Oakland still' had
150.000 people and was growing fast.
It is extremely difficult to persuade
any Oaklander to say a harsh word
about earthquakes.
Oakland is situated on the rambling
and extensive bay Of San Francisco and
"Debates between the relative merits of
Oakland and San Francisco climates."
was originally founded by people who
wanted some relief from the climate of
the other side. Oakland uses Jit. Ta
malpais and the coast hills for a wind
break and claims to have a climate 178
percent better than San Francisco. Thi3,
however, is not conceded across the bay.
The debate between the relative merits
of Oakland and San Francisco climates
has now been in progress for half a
century and shows no sign of settlement.
Oakland was named from the great
lire oaks which still line some ot its
iesidenee streets. It is filled with peo
ple who have the science of living pleas
antly down to an extremely fine point
and it claims to have as many rose cov

Fortunes Spent For Clothes
Some American Women Spend More
Than $100,060 Yearlv to Keep
Pace With Fashion.
Uy Prcderl- J. UasKln
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 3.
The American woman is
credited with being the most
ei.traagant being on earth as regards
-er clothing. The arrival of an Ameri
can heiress is regarded as far more
important by the tradesmen of Kurope
than that of any reigning toverign.
iven royalty hat, not such unlimited
sums of monej at us disposal and cer
tainly is not so reckless regarding its
expenditures. The expenditures ot tne
empress Josephine lor many years
were considered record-breaking in
feminine extravagance of toilet, bat
there are American women who each
year exceed the ?&6,WK) which Napoleon
provided for her allowance. wheu
one wopian is taxed ?30,0(W uuty upon
personal articles brought over troin
Kurope in a single year, in addition
to the money spent in this country the
sum of I100.UV0 may be readily ac
counted for.
New Extremes Every Senaon.
When a single hat brought over to
this country is sold at a loss for the
sum of S260. it would seem that ex
travagance had almost reached -he
climax although the dealers each sea
son tell ot new extremes. Tne troub
seau of a bride a generation ago wa:
supposed to be liberal in the extreme
If it cost J2000. Now it is possible to
expend that sum for the wedding dress
alone if the finest grade of lace ts
used, while $50,600 will not provide a
trousseau especially noteworthy for
i.s elegance. When hand embroidered
night dresses are made for $1000 apiece
the old allowance of S100 for the
bride's lingerie, which was extravagant
a generation ago. seems almost ridicu
lous to the fashionable belle of today.
Larger iiami for Clothing.
The greatest increase in the cost of
living in many families is the larger
sums required for clothing. A woman
who used to areas so well upon an al
lowance of $404 a year that her gowns
attracted favorable comment, new
spends ten times that sum and is
dressing plainly in comparison with
her associates. The first appearance
of spangled clothes upon the .New York
stage, worn bv Amazons, attracted at
tention for their extravagant bril
liancy. Now thousands of American
matrons wear spangled gowns of even
greater extravagance which attract ie
attention because they are no longer
unusual.
Much of the extravagance in ue
clothes of fashionable women mig.it
be condoned because of the money
which it keeps in circulation, were it
not for the hardships it imposos upon
the women of smaller means, espe
cially the working woman. There is
no class distinction in clothing in
America. Every one wears as nearly as
possible the styles of the social lead
ers and the more elaborate their cos
tames tbe greater the strain upon
those who desire to emulate them.
There is no peasant class among
Americans who clothe themselves com
fortably after the same styles as their
ancestors, in many instances wearing
clothing bequeathed to them. This is
often a hardship which the women re
sent, but it is forced upon them by
modern social conditions.
Demands of Fashion.
The story is told of the wife of a
struggling Methodist preacher who
was rebuked by tbe presiding elder be
cause she did not give more personal
attention to the education of her chil
dren instead of sending them to pub
lic school and kindergarten at an eany
age. She was reminded of the example
of the famous Susannah Wesley, who
had personally instructed each of her
1 numerous offspring. "That is quite
true, rejoined the modern womin.
"But we are also told that Susannah
Wesley wore for many years, without
alteration, the cloak which was be
queathed to her by her grandmother.
If I were to appear in my husband's
church wearing my grandmother s
cloak, unless I had carefully altered it
to suit modern fashion. I would speed
ily be reminded that I was not keep
ing up the dignity of my husband's
position by presenting &m proper ap
pearance. I cannot spend my time
teaching my own children when I am
compelled to sew continually in order
that they as well as mvself may pre
sent as good an appearance as tho
families in our church who have
larger means."
Working Glrlii Are "Martyr.
"While undoubtedly the women In
the professional classes do suffer trout
the present extravagant standards ct
dress, the greatest martyrs are the
nnor workinsr xrirls who have not tha
j resources of the other women to help
them. ach new fad which is adopted
by the society woman is copied in
cheaper materials for her poorer sis
ter. The cheaper the material, the
greater tax its purchase may be upon
the poor woman who acquires for her
hard earned money an article from
which she will have little service and
which she "will soon discard for some
thing calling for an equal tax upon
her slender resources. The same
money invested in good durable gar
ments would yield so much, greater
physical comfort if they only had th
fashionable appearance necessary to
her happiness.
Great industries are built upon th-s
imitations of elegancies which the per
verted taste of many American women
now seems to demand. Brocaded vel
vets, which might cost hundreds of
dollars from the silk looms of Europe,
are being produced in the New Eng
land cotton mills for the smallest frac
tion of the cost of the original. All
kinds of jewels are now manufactured
in cheap glass while the manufacture
of imitation laces has grown into an
industry representing millions of dol
lars annually in this country. These
imitations are never durable. Their
frequent renewal has been the un
doing of many working girls who will
put all they can earn or obtain credit
for into openwork lingerie at 53 cents
a set. willow plumes at $1.9S; imita
tion silk dresses at $14.49; and yet al
was be in need of the warm, com
fortable clothing their health demands.
Better standards ei-eNar.
Thinking women all over the coun
try are agreeing that better dress
standards for women must be secured
and Just how this shall be brought
about is not yet apparent. To the
minds of many people it is purely a
matter of education.
It is believed that the increasing
patriotism among women will also
tend to improve their judgment n
these matters. The extremes of fashion
which so many American women of
good social position have brought over
irom Paris would never be worn by a
Kuropean woman in good standing
American women go to Paris and see
beautiful women in carriages and
upon the street wearing new and ex
treme garments. They do not know
these beautiful women are of the demi
monde and that the ultra Parisian
modiste designs gowns for the Ameri
can and the demi-mondaine, classing
them together. He would not think
of offering them to his own country
women. American women are grad
ually becoming aware of this and the
idea of wearing clothes produced in
this countr appeals to them as a pa
triotic dutv and most of these Ameri
can models are both beautiful and
sensible. The modern American woman
is demanding simpler, plainer clothing
which will not require so great an
outlay of hi r own time in planning. "r

Uy Beatrice Fairfax
A
GIRL baby is born, and so mi
raculous a thing is birth that
her father and mother get
down on their knees before this little
pink wrinkled roseleaf of a mortal,
and vow such a miracle was never
wrought before.
They become slaves before a ruler
too young to know wisdom or Justice.
They become obsessed with one ambi
tion, and that is to gratify every whim
of the capricious little queen of their
home.
She cries for toys her father can
not afford, and he mortgages his fu
ture peace of mind in getting them.
She demands service from her moth
er that calls for weary hours Of hard
labor, and shows no gratitude at the
result ,
She came into the world unspoiled,
and the two to whom was intrusted
the plan of keeping ber so pervert
their love to such ends that before
she is five she hasn't a grace of her
babyhood left
She had her way as a child tin
choosing that which was not good for
her She will have her way with mere
tragic results when the -wrong man
comes wooing. Yet In the face of the
experience of others, parents continue
to let the whimper of a spoiled 'child
send flying every bit of judgment and
common sense they ever possessed.
"I cannot see what possesses her to
act this way." writes a mother of a
girl who is encouraging the atten
tions of a man of bad reputation. "We
have been the most indulgent parents

My dear woman, you can do noth

In the days that were gone you per

convince her that she can't have her
own way now that she is 18.

Always, always, the blame is laid on

They did not punish her when she
suffered in having her own way as a
child; they must be patient with her
now.
And so I ask forbearance, pity, cahr
ity and an a II -enveloping love for the
girl who will not listen to reason. She
was given a patience as a child that
had long ceased to be a virtue. She is
in greater need of patience, and how
much more it would prove a virtue to
shew it to her now!
American patterns now represents
millions of dollars of Investment The
simplicity, suitability and beauty of
these have been developed so cleverly
that they are now popular in every
civilized country. Patterns for original
American styles of garments are now
supplied with directions for their use
printed in every European language
Fashions designed especially for
American women are now In greater
demand throughout the world than
those of any other one nation, not
even excepting the French.
Few persons will dispute that the
modern fashions present many ad
vantages over those of a decade agO.
The day of tight lacing is over. The
best present models have a -Waist
measurement of from 14 to 3t inches
instead of from IS to 32. as was once
the caBe. No well dressed woman now
performs gratuitously the task of
street sweeping, although only a few
years ago trained dresses were seen
upon the street in great numbers. The
bustle. lile the hoop skirt, has long
been relegated to oblivion and except
for the extremely narrow skirt, which
many women have never been gullty
of wearing, the present costume upon
the street with no extra fullness to
make it unnecessarily heavy and short
enough to clear the ground comfort
ably, seems almost to Have reached
the maximum of comfort and utility.
Extreme Frowned Upon.
To the average woman the sheath
skirt, the transparent waist and simi
lar novelties are merely passing eccen
tricities which will not have any
lasting favor, although even their
short duration is deprecated in many
circles.
It Is especially unfortunate that
these extremes in styles, many of them
originating in garments designed for
European women of loose morals,
should be worn by the American
women who can least afford them.
The clothes Which present least pro
tection from the cold and invite the
advances of sensual men are most fre
quently worn by young girls who can
less easily afford the risk of illness
from colds or are less able to repel
Insult rather than by the women of
means whose social position protects
them from unwelcome advances.

ARIZONA LAW BARS
ALIEN OWNERSHIP

purchases of local property by Mexi
cans and other foreigners may be in

The Love of Husband
If There In a Difference Between
"Vv ife and IlBMhaad, Study and
Care Will Settle It.
By Winifred Blact
D
EAR me, so your motherinlaw
sas that the reason your hus
band is falling in love with an
other woman is that you aren't as pret
ty as you were when he married jou,
and, oh! dear, what shall you do about
if
The first thing to do. it seems to me,
is to ask your motherinlaw very gently
and kindly if she was as pretty after
s.ie'd been married 10 Years as she was
the day she was a bride, and then to
ask her again if she thinks your hus
band is as pretty as the day that you
were married, then sit down and listen
quite calmly to what she has to say.
It's a good idea to talk a good deal
with your motherinlaw as long as you
can talk pleasantly. You'U get a gopd
many ideas as to the kiitd of wonftn
she is who had the forming of your
husband's character, and making him
just the kind of a man that he is. It
will all help you to understand what
doubtless Is incomprehensible at times.
What kind of a woman is motherin
law. anyhow? Does she love her pro
saic old husband, too? Does she make
him happy or are there whispers that
all has not always been just as it
should be in the home?
How does sisterinlaw get along with
her husband T Is she pretty, too as
pretty as motherinlaw thinks you
ought to be and is her hasband fond
of her yet?
What does fatherinlaw say about it
all. or haven't you asked him yet' I
v. ould it is sometimes a good thing to
get father's ideas of things from the
man's side of the bouse.
Maybe you have been wrong, maybe
you have been careless maybe you
have let a fairly good husband drift
away from you because you don't take
the trouble to keep him In lore with
you oh. yes. love requires care and
attention just as much as any other
delicate fruit
Of course, husband has worked hard
tt keep your love all this time or you
wouldn't care so much about his falling

If you have been wronr the truth
Is no less the truth because It is told
to you by your motherinlaw.
Listen to what she has to say. listen
with your mind and your heart as well
a your ears you may learn some
thing it will profit you to know. Even
if she speaks In anger, listen.
Think the thing ail over, just as you
wotrid think it all over for any one
