bership gave the Roswell mini an
ovation In the way they ranicd the
election by acclamation.
"Highest honor I ever expected to
pel" confessed the new president as
he took the stage In response to rails
for "bperch." "and I iippreelHte It all
the more because It conies from my
brother cattlemen. Although 1 live
across the imaginary Hup that makes
the difference between Texas and
New Mexico my heart Is f ir Tonus
always. I am a Texan. 1 can't help
If. My grandfather was one of the
last to leave the walls down tlmre

energy broad and progressive. As
an example of his spirit he has built
a residence here that Is a monument
to tliln or any other state and his
ranch property near here Is one of
the finest that can bn shown. He
makes things move along when he
takes hold of them."
By a unanimous vote Mr. Divlns
-as made treasurer. In response
Mr. Blvlns declined to answer the

himself to thn interest of the asso-
ciation and as a parting Injunction he
lold the members to go home deter-

.Imltf Willis filing Flower.
Judge Willis of Canadian in a
brief nddress which takes place with
L. B. Walklns "Ole Brindle" apeech
as one of the oratorical events of the
convention thanked Amarillo for the
hospitality. "We all like to come to
Amarillo" Fnld Mr. Willis. "There's
a vlor and a dash and a go here
that defies description. All the
words In th" dictionaries and ency.
elopedlas won't describe. Some of
the people have been saying- that
Ihere Is something about the atmos-
phere of theso highlands that makes
that spirit here. Rut.no chemical
analysis can show it and no magnify-
ing glass disclose It. It's just sim-
ply Amarillo. There Is a difference
bitweu Amarillo and all other cities.
Amarillo people know each other and
they want to know everybody else.
The ma uf the Kast may wrap
around hansel fthe luxury of hU
around himself the luxury of his
tensleil in anyone but me and my
chum and my chum's clium and his
i hum us four." but Amarillo shakes
hands from Kansas City to the sea
Amarillo Is at home with the grand
dukes and prelates of the cities and
is at home from the plains to tho
Tfl rifle.
What Holds Amarillo?
" 'W hat holds up Amarillo?' you
will hear II asked? Tho uncon-
querable will of her people and thn
iindoiihtable spirit of her men and
women. 'Will there he any fall?'
'Will there be any drop In Interest?'
Not so. Amarillo Is destined to go
on and go up as she got the Santa
'o terminal as she got the Rock
Island-Choctaw railroad as she got
Ihe union stockyards as she got her
street car line as she built these
churches. These mighty men will
keep her up as they have started
whether her location is the most for-
tunate or not. They built Kansas
City In n piece of waste laud between
the bluffs and river. Fort Worth Is
on land nobody would have. So out
here on the bald plains. men are
building a city.
"This Is the spirit of the West and
you have entertained us accordingly.
When we got here you took our la-
dies and gave them an automobile
ride and you gave them a heautiful
reception yesterday." Continuing
with a wealth of eloquence Judge
Willis told of the entertainment here
and protested that of course they
would come buck hern use they
couldn't help It and wonldn't ir they
could.
The Contest.
Then President George Slaughter
callpd for nominations for places for
the next convention and the contest
was on. Judge J. NT. Browning In
placing Amarillo In the 'race said
that ho could not say anything better
In asking thn visitors to come bark
than Judge Wlllla had Just said in

WAIL ST2EET AMERICA'S FINANCIAL CENTER WHICH IS TO BE INVESTIGATED
Recent utterances of Trealdent Roosevelt against stock gambling In Wall street and tbe special message of Got-
ernor Hughe to tha New York legislature strongly Indicate that the searchlight is soon to b turned on the great
financial center. When hla antl raelug Mils were defeated Governor Hughes Issued a pronunclamenbo agalmt atock

right on the governor antl-raclng measures several senators cited Wall street as a greater gambling menae than

Mayor Miller urged the merits of the

from the convention mere. Mr. Mc-
Pomadlo a cowman of western
New Mexico told tho aitdeq strength

placing the next meeting In the val-
ley town. Then W. B. Slaughter of
Dalhart added welgnt. to the move-
ment by throwing his strenxtn to the
valley town's Invitation ana stating
that Dalhart would be In the race
next year for the convention. Tho
