The commissioner of internal revenue at Washington. in responding to a query from the collector at Lexington, Ky. has decided that gains from the poolbox, etc, should be concluded as income for the year in which they are received and no deduction can be allowed for money lost at gambling" So that money lost by A and won by E is to be twice taxed. The iCcome tax law may not be constitutional, but It is resolved to be truly moral.
 THE atmosphere of silence surrounding the proposed new charter Is so dense that il can almost be cut with an axe. It is un- derstood that a self, constituted committee is revising the revIsion proposed by the original committee of four and whatever they propose the republican legislature is confidently expected to swallow. brooches and boo:s. Only a select few of the faith tul have been taken into the confidence of the charter makers The rank and Ale of the republican are expected to follow the leaders hse lot of sheep. while the demo crats are to be treated with contempt That is the programme, but it will fail.

What He Finds in the Way of Draw
backs Here to Educational
Advancement.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Denver, July 10.-I am here, at Denver,
trying to hold up the Santa Fe banner.
There are $4,000 to $4,000 teachers here
from all parts of the Union. 1t is mag
nificent gathering. When | look upon
these hosts of teachers and think of all
they represent, can not think it possible
that we shall fail in our attempt to es-
tablish system of schools in our city.
1t will be a dangerous experiment to fall
back. We are just beginning and if GER
tain persons should get it in their minds
that we had failed we could not recover
our prestige for long time. l hope the
board will take courage. They are very
fearful and do not dare to make move.
You can do more to encourage the school
board than anyone else. One of our
troubles is that the larger portion of our
American" population have no personal
interest in our public schools. Many are
from the south nnd are not accustomed
to our free schools and do not send their
children to us.
can make such good schools that they
will find it to their profit to do so. But
can not do this and do two teachers
work as did last year. If they let me
have little time to teach the teachers
how to do the work and TO mold the
schools into shape, the thing can be done.
/ listen with care to the profound discus
slons, but little is said that will help US.
They have no such problem as we have,
viz: that of teaching unknown sciences in
an unknown tongue.
Hoping that you may encourage the
board to hold their grip" and not lose
what we have gained,

There are extensive fires in Charlsvoix

Any man who has visited the White
Oaks country and used his eyes with or
dinary intelligence while there must &C.
knowledge that the hills, canons, mead
ows and woods of Lincoln county, New
Mexico, are teeming with mineral and
agricultural wealth. All it needs is
rai)road-a narrow gauge from Ell Paso
to White Oaks to develope the resources
of the country and give it market. The
road could make money hauling coal to
Fl PaNa Mt 81 ssr ton md IN. account Of
the cheap labor that coGs cbu.a be mined
and placed on the cars at a cost of $3.50
per ton. With such chap coal new
smelters and factories woald spring up
in Ell Paso and furnish ready market
for the vast quantities of gold, silver,
lead, copper and iron ores of the White
Oaks mines, many of which are now
lying idle for want of cheap transporta-
tiOn to get the ores to a smelter. Then
there are the large forests of fine timber
that would supply the Ell Paso market
with lumber IS per cent cheaper than it
is sold here to-day. And there are beds
of gypsum stretching for miles along the
line of the proposed road and that gYp-
sum is worth $22 per ton in St. Louis
and could be made just as valuable in
Ell Paso, and it would keep two trains of
thirty cars each on a steady run few
years to exhaust the supply of gypsum.
The road would run through the center
of some of the finest stock ranges in the
west and we'll watered valley lands that
would be transformed into fine gardens,
orchards and vineyards. So You see the
White Oaks road would prove a money
maker from the start, hauling ores, lum-
Der, stock, coal, gypsum, and supplies
for the producers at White Oaks.-El
