In a number of states laws have been
passed compelling the study Of state
history in the public schools. Such a
law should not be necessary in New
Mexico. Every school board should pos
sess sufficient pride in the territory to
compel teachers to teach the history of
the territory. There is no state that has
a more romantic, thrilling and interest
ing history than New Mexico. If it's his
tory were better known, many people
who now affect to sneer at the territory
and it's p%retensions would become en-
thusiastic and proud of being citizens.
There are a number of excellent publ
cations on territorial history, not the
least of which are Ex-Governor l.. B.
Princes historical sketches, and the
history Of the territory written by Ho-
ratio O. Ladd. Every school boy and
girl should be acquainted with the ira
ditions and history of New Mexico,
from the earliest times to the present.

that the burdens are too unevenly dis
tributed. Intangible wealth coming un-
der the classification of personal prop

A few more rapid trials and conyic-
tons like that at Las Vegas on Monday
will give New Mexico justice as great
a fame as Jersey justice. To arrest,
convict and to imprison a man in a
penitentiary eighty miles away, all
within twenty-four hours after the
crime was committed. is an example
which, if it were oftener followed in
New Mexico or elsewhere, would rid the
world of evil-doers in very short time.

The problem of keeping the peniten-
tiary prisoners at work is not so diff
cult a one to solve. New Mexico needs
good roads, but has not the funds avail
convicts at road building? In several
years the territory could have good
roads made by prison labor, that would
be the delight of bicyclers and other
travellers, and a source of pride and a
great saving to the territory.

While municipal ownership of street
railways as a theory has gained friends
in cities where the rapacity and exac-
tons of franchise-grabbing traction
companies have been most fragrant, lit
tie progress has been made in putting
the theory into practice.
While municipal ownership is not
gaining in practical application, the az
itation of the subject is likely to do
good. 1t is impressing upon public at
tention the value of municipal fran
chises. This promises to create a gem
eral demand on the part of the people
that. instead of being given away for
all time, as has been the past practice,
these franchises shall be sold for limit
ed periods to the highest bidder.

OPINION.

ENGLlSH OP1NlON.
The London Mail, in warmly congrat-
ulating the Americans upon the victory
won at Calumpit, says: The victory is
all the more welcome and all the more
grateful to us because we have been
watching with deep interest the efforts
of a political party in the United States
to humiliate the nation and the govern
ment by persuading them to a dis
graceful and cowardly retreat. This
party is insignificant in strength and
influence. but what it lacks in this di-
rection it makes up for by it's lung
power. 1t has gone to the length of en-
%deavoring to induce American volun-
teers to demand their recall in the face
of the enemy To the eternal credit of
these volunteers, be it said, few have
acted Upon this treacherous and un-
patriotic instigation. The American
people may well be proud of their SOL
diers. The men have been patient, en-
during, %steadfast, devoted, patriotic.
We may regret the sacrifices which
they have been called Upon to make,
but this consolation remains-that they
have made these sacrifices for a great
cause.
NEW YORK WILL TAX FRAN
CHISES.
Denver Post.)
The public franchise tax bill, which
has just become a law in New York, is
apt to revolutionize not only the rela-
tions of certain corporations to the COM
munities in which they exist, but to
radically change the point of view of
many people with reference to the
property value of franchises them
selves. When a law Is passed in such
a state as New York placing franchises
for the purpose of taxation upon pre-
cisely the same footing as real estate
the rest of the country can no longer
regard as>revolutionary and destructive
of vested interests a movement along
the same line in other states. Our whole
system Of taxation has proven unsat-

Chicago platform, for it is regular in it's

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

The cars proposed peace conference
does not seem to cast a soothing shad-
ow before it. There are no pacific symp-
toms ever in the cars dominions.
There are no signs of disarmament. On
the other hand, it is reported that an
army division in st. Petersburg is get
ting under arms to move into Finland.
In the meantime the emperor of Ger
many indicates his idea of peace by
laying the cornerstone of another
strong fort at Metz, not so much to
protect Germany as to threaten and hui
initiate France. The emperor says, OF
course. that the new fort is "a guar
antee of peace Quite as much sc
would be the marching of a German
army corps into France. These crowned
heads have a queer way of testifying
their anxiety for ~pacification.
