THE TRoLLEY-CAR.

AS the trolley-car whizzes along country
roads on summer evening, it's most OBJ
vious use is the giving cheap and health
full pleasure to people who are tired with
work of the day But there is much else
to be set down to it's credit. Cheaply con-
structed and comparatively Indifferent to
grades, the electric railroad finds its way
to many small villages which were left
one side when the great steam railways
were built. 1t brings the summer visitors,
it re peoples abandoned farms ,and it gives
the farmer chance to reach large
market. ...
Statistics show tendency toward a
crowding of population into cities. This
is because the cities offer both opportuni-
ties for employment and for social pleas
ures. But the trolley car draws city
people into the country, and if its exten-
sion continues at the present rate 1t will
have an appreciable effect on the density
of population. Rural real estate where
the trolley-car has reached has risen in
value from ten to twenty-five per cent.
s This effect is most apparent near large
gcitaes. Fiftyaor sixty years ago, people
who did business in cities had to live
there. What are now closely built SUBJ
urbs were then rural districts, reached
only after hours of riding by private con-
veyance or a line of omnibuses. The
hor cars first, ,and now trolley cars, have
extended the suburbs to include large
ares suitable for residence.
Among the advantages of modern life,
we must give the trolley-car conspicuous
place. -' YoutA's CompGaaioaa."

Too Much Eating.

Gluttony has its victims, hardly less
numerous than other vices. To overeat
is to overburden the digestive organs to
such an extent that it will bg--imppssi-
BILE for them to perform their duties
properly. Deleterious products are Gre
ated, and health is finally destroyed! A
prominent judge used. to say such men
dig their graves with their teeth and
it is SO. On the other hand, there are
those who eat too little. All extremes
are evils that experience should govern.

crusade, or whatever it may prove to
be, is under way and all this gorgeous
ness and expense hat the kaiser may
have the pleasure of being present at
the dedication and conservation of the
little Lutheran church which has been
erected in the famous city! In the his
tory of the world no chapel has been so
honored. Probably nc important polit-
ical move has ever been masked by so
simple and naive a pretext. For not
only does the kaiser wish to be consid-
cred as a sort Of protestant pope over
the Lutherans Of Palestine, but he
would eve relieve the pope at Rome of
the trouble he now has in communicat-
ing with the Roman Catholics in and
around Jerusalem by way of the
French embassy in Constantinople.
His suggestion that the porte place a
legation at the vatican is displeasing to
France; however, it may not have been
acted upon. Nevertheless, the moral
significance Of his visit will be great.
His imperial majesty has this delight
full alternative: Either he can pose as
the champion of the Christian religion
against the Moslem, or he can back up
the sultan against the uncertain Euro
pean concert. Which will he do, and
how long can he keep his intriguing
from the knowledge of the other pow
ers?

II. o. Bursum for the Council from So.

San Marcial Bee.)

The candidate for the council from
the district comprising Socorro and
Sierra counties is Sheriff H. o. Bur-
sum. In political life Mr.. Bursum Is
probably the best known man in the
two counties He is a man Of force
and influence, keen, cool, aggressive
and full of determination. Twice in
succession he has carried this county
sheriff, and his ambition to occupy a
seat in the upper house of the terrific
rial Legislature will be gratified in no
uncertain manner, If the present senti-
ment OF the voters undergoes no
change.
OF the IL senators who will consti-
tute the highest branch Of our legis-
lature none will be able to exercise
more influence in the direction Of bene-
fetal legislation than Mr.. Bursum: his
thorough knowledge of the needs Of
New Mexico, his complete understand
Ing of the requirements of It's citizens
and his earnestness in behalf of reform
where errors exist, stamp him as the
proper man to occupy the position of
senator. Under the present law the
taxes on sheep and cattle can only be
levied in the county where the owner
makes his home. The result Is that
not less thar 100, 900 sheep range in So
zorro county each year, from neighbour
ing counties, where their owners reside,
and not one cent Of taxes Is recorded
against them as an evidence Of this
moving wealth in either county. Mr..

enable such tiocks to be taxed each

Republicanism and Protection Versus
Democracy and Free Trade.

WV
In the latter part of Democratic free
trade administration, cows and calves
sold as low as SO, per head in
Socorro county, sheep sold for so cents;
low men, individuals and corporations,
went broke, Sheep men could not afford
to shear their flocks. Lead went down
to $40 mines n shelters closed down,
miners and furnace men walked out of
country; within one year from the day
the Republican party regained control
of national affairs, the change came;
cows and calves were worth SIS per
head, sheep went up to S1.75 and ~.
and today yearling steers arc selling
for S19 and SIS per head and a COW and
calf is worth $50. Lambs are now sell
ing for 80, and as high as $2.l5 per head:
wool is worth from 10 to IS cents per
pound; lead is worth $3.50 per cwt.
Mines are in operation, mills and reduc-
ton works are being built and operated.
What brought about this change?
The moss backed Democrat will tell you
changed conditions Certainly, but
a protective tariff changed the condi'
tons. Take the tariff off cattle today
and see how soon the present prices will
drop. Take the tariff off of wool and
see how long your sheep will be Il pay

of duty and see your mines close down.

Pedro Perea, Republican Nominee for
Delegate.
Silver City Enterprise

~'''N SNp 1AN~ 49,
The Republican nominee for delegate
to congress-, Pedro Perea, is one of the
substantial business men of Bernalillo.
He has served the territory well and
faithfully as a member of the legisla-
ture on several occasions, and his rec
ord for retrenchment and economy
stands to his credit with the tax payers
of the territory. His record in the legis-
lative halls of New Mexico rebounds to
his credit an hundred times more than
mere praise from the friends he has
won by his consistent and meritorious
work for the general welfare of the ter
ritory. That record stands as a monu-
.lncnt to his merit, solid as a rock III
cannot be t%ruthfully assailed from any
point. Neither political influence nor
the persuasion of friends ever caused
him to swerve from the strict path Of
duty to his constituents and the best
interests of the territory at large. Time
and time again has he ignored the soli-
citations of friends and behests Of party
leaders and opposed the passage Of bills
which We're counter to the public veal.
Even local or personal interest would
not influence him to vote for any meas
ure that did not have a general good
effect. He made no discrimination as
to whether it were the project of his
own political party or that of the oppo-
sition. Pedro Perea is the peoples can
didate rather than the candidate OF any
political party, and as such candidate
deserves the suffrage of every pro-
gressive citizen of the territory.
