START THE ENTERPRISE.

Even the great, big beets raised in and
around Santa Fe the past season, the ones
which heretofore have been considered only
fit for cattle feed, contain more sugar
than the beets raised in Nebraska, where
the manufacture of sugar is carried on
successfully. A letter received in this
city from Grand Island, where one Of the
Oxnard factories ia located, yesterday,
said: "The roads in all directions are
filled with a procession of great wagon
loads of beets going to the factory
There is no reason why every wagon
road leading to Santa Fe should not be
filled with wagons loaded with beets,
coming into the city at this time of year
1t is almost beyond belief that the clti-
zens Of the ancient city do not seem to
realize the Importance of establishing q
factory here. If only a spirit of enter
prise would be shown, a factory could be
running within a twelve month. There
is no lack of capital for the enterprise,
but capital is not wandering up and down
the earth seeking whom it may devour.
1t wants facts and figures and satisfac-
tory evidence of success before it bites.
Santa Fe, the Espanola and Rio Grande
valleys can furnish convincing figures on
short notice; what s needed is strong eff
fort on the part of the property owners
of the city to attract the attention of the
dollars to the advantages offered for in
vestment in making sugar. Who will
start the procession? The NEW MEXICAN
stands ready to do it's part.

PENAL COLONY NONSENSE.

When congress convenes next month,
there will be all manner of bills intro
duced to cure existing evils, regulate So
ciety, make money and provide for
junketiDg trips for members of that
august body, and the country at large
will look upon such proceedings with
complacenoy, regarding this as the
usual grist that must be ground in the
lawmaking mill. But one announcement
has been made of an intended attempt to
secure legislation concerning criminals,
that should be watched.
Representative Benjamin 7. Howell of
New Jersey, will seek to separate the
s@ats and sheep of society, by establish
ins penal colony in Alaska and send
ing goats to that country to mediate
over tNir encroachment upon pastures
not theirs>by right of possession. Mr..
Howells on (sot, SO he states, is the set
Element of tAa convict labor question,

free labor and fur fishing protection to
society by segregat<pg the criminal ele-
ment." This sounds'< very catchy and
quite nice, but the plaA of colonizing

out employment, suffering the evil cSq-
sequences to mind and body of enforced
idleness lest they should compete with
somebody's free labor. Indeed, of the
two plans-that of colonization on an
iceberg and that which is driving con-
viots to insanity at the public expense at
Sing Sing-the open air colonization
system where the graceful walrus sports
and bears their watches keep, is entitled
to the preference. The misery at the
Alaska institution would be no greater
than at Sing Sing and it would be sooner
over.
That anybody should, in this age, sug-
gest a criminal colony, shows that in our
ideas of the treatment of criminals we
are advancing backward" Criminal

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

e is understood in Washington that the
president has nearly completed his mes.
sage to congress, which will convene on
Monday, December 6. Particular interest
attaches to the forthcoming document,
because of the Cuban and Hawaiian
questions, financial matters, reciprocity
with other countries on the American
continent, the Nicaraguan canal and
Alaskan affairs, aside from the usual do
mestic matters which will undoubtedly be
touched upon.
The message will probably point out
that every obligation toward Spain has
been discharged, and that the United
States has more than done its part IN
patrolling long sea coast in order to
prevent the sailing of flibustering ex
petitions. While Mr.. Mckinley will
undoubtedly take firm stand In the
matter of bringing the war on the island
to close, be will urge that Spain be
allowed fair opportunity to prove her
good intentions in the promised scheme
of a liberal government. Hawaiian an
nexation will occupy prominent place
in the message, and the senate will be
urged to ratify, at an early date, the
treaty now pending before that body.
The subjects of reciprocity and finance
will be treated at length and many rec-
concentrations made. President MoKin-
Icy regards the principle of reciprocity
as the corner stone to success for the COM
mercial supremacy Of this country and Will
point out that an arrangement mutually

advantageous to the commerce of both
countries is reaching conclusion with
France; that negotiations fer reciprocity
with Canada are progressing, and that
arrangements of like nature will be made
with the countries of Central and South
America. Currency reform will come in
for thorough consideration, and the ne
cessity of wise legislation will be urged
The other subjects mentioned will be
carefully treated, and the entire message
is expected to be filled with sensible,
statesmanlike suggestions for the guild.

Siberia casts its dark shadow across
Russia. A criminal colony is the seat of
all abuses that may be practiced in
prison with absolutely no hope of refor-
nation or redress. A criminal colony
must, of necessity, be located far from
the homes of men, and apparently beyond
the ken of Providence. The keepers of
such places become the most brutal, az
they are the most irresponsible, of men,
while there is no other human being 80
desperate as the escaped convict from q
criminal colony. Not all the advantages
of relieving free labor from competition
or segregating the criminal element could
justify criminal colony in Alaska or
elsewhere.
The enforced idleness of the criminals
in Sing Sing is step backward, which
should meet with protest from the en-
tire country, but to establish penal
colony would be to slide down the long
hill of ages into barbarism. Mr.. How
ell may be honest ia his idea and sincere
in the desire to protect society, but he
has taken the wrong path. Some init

New Mexico lies at the point where the
Rocky mountains lose that characteristic
individuality which they have preserved
as a distinctive feature from within the
Arctic CIRCLE to Colorado and almost
throughout that state. Heretofore they
have been range or broad series of

reached its final great effort of elvation
in Pixies Peak it rapidly loses its massive
character and with astonishing rapidlty
sinks to rolling Hills and spreads out on
mesas of altitude still great but of even
and gentle slope.
Viewed by the aid of it's contours of
altitude New Mexico appears as plain
raised to the height of 5000 feet, broken
but by two systems of greater elevations
and interrupted by lesser ones only on
the eastern and southern faces. Nearly
three fourths of the territory is in
cluded within the contour of 5000
feet. All that part of the territory
which lies above the 1000 feet con
tour is rugged mountains of precipitous
slope and deeply scored face. Their oil.
matte purpose is to extract the rain from
the atm osphere for the benefit of the
lower levels; they do more than this, for
the rain carries away the desintegrating
rock to enrich the plateau and the valley
beneath. Arizoua faces the prevailing

The case of Mrs. James Kell, of Gil
Ninth Street, S. E., Washington, d. c.,
should convince everyone that it is
useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu-
matisn. Under recent date she writes
"a few months ago had an attack of
Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form.
The pain was so intense that my ner-
vous system was Frustrated, and I was
for long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one,
and my condition was regarded as
being very dangerous.
IT was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City, who is
also a member of the faculty of the
leading college here. He told me to
continue bic prescription and would
get we'll. After having it reflled twelve
times and receiving not the least bene-
fit, declined to take it longer.
Having heard SIS. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) recommended for Rheumatism,
l decided, almost in despair, to give
it trial. After taking a few bot
ties I was able to hobble around on
crutches, and very soon had no need
at all for them, for S.S.S. cured me
sound and we'll. All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has
returned, and l am happy to be again
restored to perfect health"
S.S.S. never disppoints, for it is made
to cure these deep-rooted diseases which
are beyond the reach of all other reme-
dies. Itcures permanently Rheumatism,
