THE WORLD Crows BETTER.

Ii is noteworthy fact that the most
ardent support of the pending arbitra-
ton treaty comes from men who know
from experience what it is to feel the
shock OF battle. Opposition TO this
noble and human measure comes on the
other hand from lingo statesmen who
think that war is q fine thing and becom-
ing the dignity of powerful nation. War
at best is the relic of cruel and bar
barous past, a savage game for the be-
hoof of savage rulers. Its bloody record
has stained the pages of history through
all the ages, to satisfy the greed or lust
of kings. Men have followed blindly
trlcked into the belief that there was NO
other way to settle questions arising be-
tween nations. OF late years new
spirit has entered into international con
troversy. Weak at first, it has grown
strong with time, and its final triumphant
assertion is only the question of few
years. This proves that Inc world il
growing better.

the LEveE SYSTEM,

The situation in the flooded districts
along the Mississippi is growing worse
instead of better. The Inhabitants of the
valleys stretching along this great river
are utterly without protection, and the loss
of life will be something awful during
the next few days. Levee after levee
gives way, those of recent construction
as we'll as those which have stood the
pressure of flood waters through many q
high water year. There must be some-
thing faulty with system of embank-
ments which permit such disasters even
during exceptional years. This land has
been purchased and improved by farmers
who have trusted to the superior wisdom
of engineers who have pronounced the
levees safe. Somebody has blundered
grieyously. The disaster cannot be as
cribed to an act of God as they say in
law, for proper human foresight and pre-.
caution would have made this terrible
disaster impossible. This years ex'
perience will no doubt lead thorough
investigation of the system now in vogue,
but it will be knowledge and improve
ment dearly bought, and very much after
the example of the man who locks his
barn door when his stock has been stolen

MR.. HUNTINGTON VERSUS U. S.

Mr.. G. P. Huntington, president of the
Southern Pacific company, was inter-
viewed a few days since in San Francisco
as to his opinion on the recent Supreme
court decision against railroad pooling,
which has caused a partial disruption of
the big passenger and freight associa-
tions of the country. MIR. Huntington in
the course of this interview said that as a
rule he paid but little attention to traffic
matters. He had read the decision re-
ferred to, however, and did not think that
it would cause any great disturbance
among the various railroad companies.
Continuing the magnate said Gust what
means will be discovered to get around
this decision, l cannot say at the present
time, but it has been my experience that
ways way found to do it. I have been
working upon this principle now for
nearly SO years, and have been fairly
successful"
Just so. This is Mr.. Huntington's con-
ception of the law of the land. How to
get around it, how to evade it, how to
beat it, how to change it, until it shall
subserve his own selfish lnterest-this has
indeed been his study for sixty years, and
no one will have the courage to deny that
he has been successful. Upon his own
confession Mr.. Huntington is an anarchist
of the most dangerous stamp. The law
of the land must be nullifed to satisfy the
greed Of this man who openly boasts of
his ability to get around Supreme court
decisions. Somehow the conviction is
gaining ground that Mr.. Huntington has
been law unto himself about long
enough. In many quarters there is dis,
position to call his attention to the fact
that he is not the government, although
it must be acknowledged that he has good
grounds for believing that he is the SUI
preme power in this country.
Some years ago the government loaned
Mr.. Huntington and his associates
money to build railroad. In addi-
ton to this it gave large and valuable
tracts of land. The road was built
in due time and from its earnings
other lines were constructed. When the
loans from the government became due
the borrowers, who had less than $4,000
between them when they appealed to the
government for aid, refused to pay. See
ing that foreclosure must come as a re.
suit of this refusal, by which the road
would revert to the government, Mr..
Huntington and his associates proceeded
to ruin this property. Traffic was.divert-
ed to their own lines, the road bad and
rolling stock we're allowed to suffer from
the lack of usual repairs-in short the
splendid property was ruined. When it
had been dragged down to the lowest
notch, Mr.. Huntington had the nerve to
ask the government to take it for the
debt. This was only one of his minor
tricks. There are many others involv-
ing millions of dollars, and much baser
swind les, though this was az clear case
OF theft as was ever taken cognizance of
by statute law. He has been the supreme
law of the land SO long that it is difficult
for him to realize that there is any higher
power.

The Thirty-SecOnd Legislative As
semb.y.

Che Thirty. second legislative assembly
of New Mexico closed it's labors on Thurs
day night of last week. Seventy-two bills
became law and will stand as the work Of
this body. Nearly all Of these are OF gen.
eral Importance, and almost without any
exception they are beneficial to the peo-
pie of the territory. There are some
measures that might have been deferred,
and others that might have been better,
but in every legislative body there he's
been and will be those who subordinate
everything else to self. The recent legis,
lative assembly Of New Mexico was no
exception. When the laws are published
every lawyer and intelligent citizen of the
territory will realize that this has been
the best assembly, so far as results go,
that New Mexico has had in 20 years. The
people of the territory as whole only
look at the general results. The few who
have seen the practiced working -the
inner doings- of the members of the body
can fully appreciate the thanks that is
due to those members who had the gen.
eral welfare of the territory at heart
Two duties devolve upon members of
legislative bodies-the first is to work for
needed laws, the other is to defeat per.
nicious legislation. The success in the
first appears upon the statutes, particular
efforts in the latter seldom come to light
and more rarely receive the merit of
praise.-Roswell Record.

The Optic agrees with the New MEXICAN

they are always misfts. To succeed we'll
in any speciality requires peculiar talents,

Why is it that one man will succeed
where others, one after another, have
failed? 1t is not luck, or chance. 1t is
adaptability, fitness, tact. These come,
not from education, but are born in the
man. Education and experience may and
