In the matter of improved streets
and sidewalks, particularly sidewalks, Ell
Paso is far behind the station to which
her commercial and general i'm
portance entities her. No stone should
be left unturned until the city charter
is so amended as to make it possible
for the city to Improve the sidewalks
and assess the property owners to pay
for the improvements. Under existing
law the city cannot collect special
taxes for such purposes, and il the city
expends any of it's money on certain
sidewalks other property owners will
refuse to pay for improvements on the
ground that the less public spirited
man is the more he receives from the
community.

Limited Suffrage In Hawaii.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Hawaiian commission will recommend
to congress the adoption of q terrific
rial form of government for the is-
lands, with q legislature to be elected
by the qualified voters-among whom
Chinese and Japanese are not TO be in
cluded-but with property and eduoa-
tional qualifications imposed upon those
who vote for members of the upper
house. The educational requirement
will disqualify few of those who are al
lowed to vote for members of the lower
house, because about all the native
Hawaiians can read and write. A pro-
perty qualification, however, will rule
out many OF them.
When congress takes up this question
of the territorial government of Ha-
wall, this recommendation of the COM
mission will probably be objected TO
on the ground that, while manhood
suffrage with no conditions IS to edu-
cation or property in the rule In all the
other territories, 1t is proposed to
make an exception in the case of Ha-
vail. But it cannot be shown that
congress is obliged to leRislate uni
formly ON this question. If the oondi-
tions in one territory differ from those
existing in another the Legislation Of
congress ought not to be the same
Nor can it be claimed that congress
cannot oonfne the grant Of the right to
vote for some or all territorial autho-
rites to those who can read and write
or who are property owners. That
question has been settled. For come
years after the adoption of the consti-
tuition congress limited the right of
suffrage in the territories to freehold
ers. The act establishing the Illinois
Territory conferred the right to vote
for members of the lower house of the
territorial legislature only on persons
who had freehold In fifty acres of
land. Nor was any person allowed to be
qualified as q represen tattve unless he
owned In fee 200 acres of land.
AS regards the denial of the right of
suffrage to the Chinese and Japanese
who are living in the islands, It must
be borne in mind that they were not
citizens of Hawaii when that Is
land was self-governing. They we're
aliens, owing allegiance to China and
Japan. who happened to be residing on
the islands when they were annexed.
Annexation does not make them citi-
zens of the United States. When Ca
lifornia and New Mexico were acquired
Mexican citizens residing there were
allowed to become American citizens If
they saw fit, but British or other aliens
domiciled there did not become
American citizens.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor If you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make Ia the best?
II both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
