TO ADVERTISERS.

ttsing copy for same should be at the bust

SEVERAL times in the past we have
referred in this column to the desir-
ability of securing the Rough Riders
convention to be held here this year.
The suggestion of the HERALD has
been widely commented upon in differ
emit parts of the country, and there has
not been q single dissenting voice. 1t
Is clear to all that this is the only prop
er place for the reunion. A little work,
quick, and it is ours. Now in this con-
nection we suggest also that about the
same time there be held here a mining
exposition. This also has been COM
mented upon pretty freely, and as the
HERALD originally suggested such an
exposition we feel that our interest in
the realization lis especially great
There is no doubt that a mining expo
sition in Ell Paso would attract large
crowd of desirable visitors. No other
section except Alaska and Cripple
Greek has been advertised as this has
been, and no other section is more Oft
en- sought or more widely talked about.
Mines all around us, shelters, mining
men-it doesn't need any argument to
che W that this Is the place and the time
is drawing near for such an exposition.
We suggest that the Rough Riders re-
union and the mining exposition be
worked up together.

GREAT apprehension prevails among
railroad men, business men, and prop
erty holders generally in this city that
there will be disastrous flood this
spring. 1t is true that the snow fall in
Colorado and in the mountains of New
Mexico this season has been unusual,
and it is certain that the river will
have to carry off very large amount
of flood water when the thsw comes.
But so far as our investigation has de-
veloped, we have reason to believe
that the authorities have the matter
pretty we'll in hand, and that there
will be no unusual danger this spring.
Preparations are under way to
strengthen the levees, the cut off will
likely be arranged for during the COM

THE observance of Arbor Day in this

new MEXICO A6ITATED.


wants Fl PdSO ana wants ncr BAD
New Mexico is considerably agitated
over the attitude of Ell Paso toward the
proposed annexation scheme. Resi-
| dents of that section appear to want to
take this part of the state whether
Texas or west Texas is willing or not.
The following argument is offered by
the Lordsburg Liberal:
The resolution offered by Major
Llewellyn in the legislature providing
for the appointment of commission to
consider the matter of cutting q chunk
OFF the west end of Texas and adding it
to New Mexico, is causing considerable
comment in Ell Paso.
Most of the younger and more pro-
gresive people of that town are anx-
ious to be annexed to New Mexico,
older ones, those who have lived in
Texas for two or three thousand years,
are opposed to the division of the
state.
They say that Texas always has been
the biggest state in the Onion, aud al
ways will continue to be, and they are
utterly opposed to taking an inch from
its area. They also claim there will
be a great deal of opposition to the
state, although they admit that no at
tention is paid to the westerners by
any of the people or politicians of east
Texas.
The old fogies who have moved from
east Texas to Ell Paso had rather live
as q CIPHER in Texas than to be an in
tegral part of state like New Mexico.
They have forgotten that their. Texas
forefathers were wiser than they are,
that when Texas joined the union it
was provided that il the future the
vast state might be cut up into at least
five states. Now is pretty good time
for the sloughing off to begin.

The White Man and the Tropics.

Can the white race colonizc the trop-
les? The answer returned by eX-Min-
lister TruXtun Bcale in the July Forum
is that he can if he viii try and he offers
some good reasons for his belief.
First of all he notes that the white
man had his origin in the tropics and
that for him to go back to them would
simply be returning to the old home.
He has not gone back hitherto because
the more comfortable temperate zone
has offered superior inducements. But
the temperate zone is now pretty we'll
populated, Soon the white man will
have tC take Z dyer into tropical colon
ization or get o + the face of the earth.
Mr.. Beale thinks that the white man
of today knows some points in the coll
Onization game which will put him sew
eral laps ahead of the white expert
menter of the past who tackled the
tropics and failed
For instance, there is such a thing
today as sanitary science. 1t teaches
the intelligent white man to keep clean
while in the tropics; to eat well Sc
| avoid continuous hard physical work;
to keep in the shade during the hottest
periods of the day and to go to cooler
climates on long vacations at least
| once in every period of from four to
seven years. His predecessor didn't
know this or, knowing it, neglected to
act on the Information. That is where
| the white co;onizer of the hereafter is
| going to take a fall out of history.
| Again, sanitary science has recently
| shown us through the microscope many
! of the dangers of tropical disease and
! how to avert or cure them. Yellow
| fever yields TO cleanliness, but when
| caught can be knocked out by a certain
new serum. The eold-fashioned plague
has succumbed to modern science and
leprosy is limited to the ignorant
Other tropical ailments will disappear
when the up-to-date medico takes after
them.
Lastly, the white man of the period
takes modern conveniences with hin
when going to the tropics. He makes
ice artihcially; he uses electrical fans
he cuts and harvests his grain by
steam or electrically driven machinery
and in a thousand different direction.
he approaches the old problem from
new standpoints and with the aid o
new assistants. In other words. tn,
world is moving, and the white man /.
fully competent to keep up with tn
procession.

Expansion.

Nineteen years ago the United States
produced per annum less than 100000
tons of pig iron, about half the then
annual product Of England and twice
that of Germany. Last year the
American product was nearly 10000, 900
tons against less than 100000 tons
for Great Britain and a trine over
1000, 900 tons for Germany. England's
percentage of gain in this period was
less than IL; Germany's was 165, but
our own was 2O7. This year out output
Is estimated at 600 tons and still
there is a famine in the pig iron mar
kct, the demand far ex -eeding the
supply.
The student of statistics who un-
derstands what these figures mean to
a country so independently situated as
our own is not surprised at the mar
velous development which is taking
place In the expectation of American
manufactures of iron and steel Egypt.

Attorney John j. Murphy will i'm all

Put Alger Out.

We may well believe Senator Bur-
rows when he says that as a friend Of
Senator Mcmillan he would be the last
person in the world to suggest to the
president General Alger's removal from
the secretaryship OF war, since Alger's
indecency in hanging on to that place
while leading a factional fight against
the administrations friends in Michi-
gan makes McNillan's reelection alb
solutely certain. Yet the New Mail
and Express, a staunch supporter of
the administration, voices the opinion
of Republicans generally whenit says:
Secretary Alger by declaring his
nishes evidence that he glories in the
fact that he is in league with an open
enemy of the administration for the
purpose of destroying the administra-
tons staunchest champion in his home
state. Never in our presidential fam
lily. was displayed a situation more
reprehensible politically or more con-
temptible personally. 1t is an impos-
sible situation, unfair to the president,
humiliating to the cabinet, damaging
to the party through its possible effect
on Michigans electoral vote and dis
gusting to the country. Alger will not
go. Then he should he made to go.
The time has come for Mr.. Mckinley
to demand a resignation, in justice to
himself and to every national interest
committed tO his care
An exhibition of insubordinatiOn
such as Alger is now making toward
