An appeal calls residents to a Monday night gathering to organize a live commercial organization and a wideawake board of trade in Farmington. The note urges citizens to set aside personal axes, join together, and boost a progressive, businesslike town spirit.
A historic reflection questions a rich landowner who would eject tenants from fertile ground and favors private control. It contrasts public land policy, noting government actions in the west and New Mexico to protect wealth for posterity, while many would seek to farm the land themselves.
The piece argues business credit rests on character beyond money and property. It cites Mr. Morgan before Congress on the money trust, stating character comes first and money cannot buy it. He notes he has lent to apparently penniless men who had strong trust, while wealth earned by undermining character counts for little.
The piece argues against wasteful conservation policies that starve the living while hoarding resources for the future. It cautions against withdrawing fields from use and leaving the Southwest to “dwell alone” with plenty yet no means to prosper. It urges balanced resource use without harming current needs.

The piece contrasts builders and destroyers in government. It argues constructive programs advance condition, while self important critics hinder progress by tearing down. It stresses forward motion and replacing old structures with improved ones to avoid stagnation or retrogression.
The Enterprise argued in 1910 that Democratic state Senate candidate Joseph F Sulzer owed allegiance to liquor interests in Albuquerque. A local contemporary later challenged that view but the paper notes Sulzer's voting on local option bills last spring and again a few weeks ago.
The text notes the county court bill stalled in committee while a prize fight bill advanced before the legislature and was later vetoed by the Governor. It asks which paper reported these facts.
Former president Taft vetoed the Webb interstate liquor bill as unconstitutional. The Senate quickly overrode the veto 63 to 21 and the House reaffirmed the bill 244 to 95 on March 1. The piece notes strong congressional rebuke yet argues final constitutional resolve lies with the Supreme Court.
