THE PENITENTIARY REPORT,

The report of the committee on peni-
Tertiary affairs failed to find any evidence
that any corruption or dishonesty or ex-
travagance existed in the management OF
the penitentary during the past two
years; when one compares the record OF
the institution during that time with the
record made under Ross and Gable, if he
is honest and fair minded, he will come
to the conclusion that the present record
is clean and commendable one, where
as under Gable and Ross it was dark,
rotten and bad. There is not much use
talking about the report OF the Demo-
cratic house committee on penitentiary ;
just such report as was made, was ex-
pected decent and sensible people will
not believe it, and pay no attention to it.
Democratic politicians and those inter-
ested on account of personal grievances
and actuated by partisan and personal
hatred will believe it and that is all there
| is OF it.

CALIFORNIA AND NEW MEXICO COAL


California has been having a very
rough experience of late with its fuel
supply, and the press on the coast seems
at last to have come to the conclusion that
it is better to patronize home institutions
and seek to meet the emergency with
New Mexico Goals rather than longer de-
pend upon the mines of Australia and
other foreign countries. They have
been long time getting around to it, but
this certainly is the sensible thing to do.
There is no reason why the price OF coal
in California should be from four to five
times greater than it is in New Mexico.
This territory abounds with coal districts
that as yet have scarcely been touched.
The demand for Goals in California is a
large and reliable one, which can not de-
crease but must always advance as the
state is settled up. Is it not time then
that California capitalists were looking
toward New Mexico with view to in
vestments that would prove mutually
beneficial to this territory and the Pacific
coast people? The field is an inviting one.
