territory 10 position to demand
admission to statehood without the
necessity of hiding our statute books
to cover our shame and the glar-
ing evidence of our inability to govern
ourselves with credit. The Eagle has al
ways favored statehood whenever this
territory can show that it is capable of
self government, but it insists that the
only and indispensable evidence of this
capability Is the methods employed and
the manner in which it governs itself.
Revise the laws, expunge the vicious
and Objectionable acts, and for them
substitute such as shall be dictated by
wisdom and shall be calculated to pro-
mote the general good of the territory,
eliminating jobbery and class legislation,
which now 80 notoriously cucumber our
statute books.
To this end the legislature to sit next
winter should lend its most earnest en-
deavors, and should begin the good work
on the first day of the session, ceasing
only with the expiration of its term of
existence. There will be ample work to
occupy the entire time for the general
benefit of our people without wasting
one moment on local or selfish interests
of far less concern to the public at large.

CREATE A DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIES.

We notice that tine California State
Miners association has adopted resolu-
tion memoralizing congress to create a
department of mines and mining. Ger
tainly there is quite as much need for
such department as there is for de-
partment of agriculture, but we seriously
question the wisdom of increasing the
number of special departments of the
government in the manner suggested.
The creation of a department of mines
and mining would establish precedent
for an almost endless multiplication of
departments, and doubtless we would
soon have department of the big four
beef combine, a department of the nail
and screw trust, department of the fuel
combine and SO on ad infinitum. Our
impression is that it would be better to
abolish the department of agriculture
and create in lieu thereof a department
OF industries with bureaus under it Gov
ering agriculture, mining, manufacturing,
etc. This is merely modest suggestion.
1t is not necessarily binding on congress.

DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY.

Says the White Oaks Eagle: 1t now
appears certain that Democratic repre-
sentatives will have complete control of
both houses in the coming session of our
territorial legislative assembly. Two
years ago, while nominally Democratic in
its organization, the house was not in
reality and in effect in the hands of the
friends of that party. Therefore, the op.
portunity to enact such beneficial legisla-
tion as was demanded by the progressive
people of the territory was lost. There
would seem to be no ground or excuse
for such failure at the ensuing session.
On the party now, rests the responsibility
OF reforming the inexcusable jumble now
appearing on our statutes and called laws.
Democrats should now redeem New Mex.
ico from the disgrsce which former Re-
publican legislation has for 90 many
years held us under and place the

knows anything, that only his making

To THE EDITOR OF The TIMEs:-I
wish through this medium to express
my hearty approval Of the noble stand
you have taken against the excessive
cost TO the citizens of Roanoke of the
telephone service. 1 think the enter
prtsing spirit that has characterized our
people in days gone by should re- ssers
itself against this imposition in 8
tangible way. II necessary, organize 8
mutual company. as some OF our sister
cities have done, AMI thereby pay for
what we get-no more and no less. AS
long as we quietly acquiesce in the
fostering of monopoly upon US (while
more enterprising cities are getting
better service for less than one third of
what we psy) we have no one to censure
but ourselves.
A concentration of the energies Of
our people In the right direction will
very soon correcs this evil. The cost OF
system equally as good as the one we
have would be very inexpensive to each
individual, as the number OF subscribers
would be many times multiplied with O
cheaper service, say S12 year. Hoping
that the ball you have put in motion
will move trust your very commenda-
bic efforts will be crowned with the
best results. A CITIZEN.
