importing several score of teachers for
good work in the island. Nearly 90 per
cent of the inhabitants are illiterate,
and the present system of education is
crude, although under the change in
government there has been a little i'm
provement. Women of experience who
are willing to remain for years are the
kind wanted. but as the salaries at
present are not over $50 per month, the
governor will hardly be able to secure
the right material, and inexperienced
girls will not do. The school ma'am will
have TO teach something more than
merely the three RS, and a strong bat
tie must be fought ere the native chill
dren are lifted out of the dense igno-
rance which prevails.
In the lower classes of society, person
other desirable traits are unknown, and
it is not expected that the habits and
customs of centuries can be thrown off
in a single year, However, missionary
teachers nave spent lne pest years VI
their lives in Asiatic countries for many
decades past amid conditions that have
tried their souls and their pockets ONE
times beyond endurance, and possibly
General Henry may have to call upon
the foreign missionary boards of the
religious societies for missionary teach
arS TO ~inaugurate the work he has so
intelligently mapped out.

Here's a Chance to Economic.

What's the matter with recognizing
the board of penitentiary commission
ers? That body now consists of sever
members, who cost the territory on an
average in salary and travelling eX-
penses, each $500 and over per year.
Three members of the board would
manage the penitentiary better and cost
considerably less. Therefore, the number
of members should be reduced from
seven to three, the duties of the mem
bers should be more especially prescrib-
ed, they should be subject to removal by
the executive for cause, and should fur
nish itemized vouchers for travelling
expenses. Concentration of RESPONSE
bility means better government, as is
we'll known. Here is one line wherein
the assembly might save the tax payers
a few thousand dollars in w years.

Senator Frye's Military Bill.

Excellent military critics speak highly
of the bill introduced into the
senate by Senator Frye for
raising, organizing and maintaining a
volunteer army. The proposed meas
ure is apparently based on the under
standing that the volunteer service that
obtained during the late Spanish war
was not to be depended upon in case of
serious trouble. The bill seems to be
the only measure of it's nature which
provides for a standard of competency
for volunteer officers. According to it's
provisions no volunteer officer shall be
appointed who has not served for three
years as an officer of the army Oh of the
militia, and if in the latter service such
candidates must be favorably recon-
mended by a board of examining Off
GERS. Then line promotions are to be
made according to seniority in their
arm of the service. Schools are to be
established for instruction of volunteer
officers, and for purposes of in
struction such officers may be
attached to regular regiments.
Regular army officers are to in
spect volunteer commands, and upon
an %unfavorable report the officers re-
sponsible may be punished ven to dis
missal. When war exists or is threat
ened, all volunteer officers shall retain
their positions only upon a favorable
report as to their capabilities by an ex-
amining board. This will prevent any
more scandals arising from appoint
ment of incompetent officers through
political influence.

For the Completion Of the Territorial Capitol.

Senator Elkins has introduced a bill
in the United States senate which has
been referred to the committee on ter
ritories, which ought to pass congress
speedily, as the matter is n of the
greatest Importance to the territory.
The bill reads as follows, and the sub
ject matter is one that explains itself:
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled, That the legislative assembly of
the territory of New Mexico is hereby
authorized and empowered to contract
a debt on behalf of such territory, in
such form and manne las it may select
and to an amount not exceeding the
sum of $50, 900. for the purpose of raising
the necessary additional funds for the
completion and furnishing of the terri
torial capitol, now in course of erection
at Santa Fee: Provided, That nothing in
This act shall be so construed as to
make the government of the United
States liable or responsible for the pay
ment of any such debt by this act au-
thorized to be contracted"

TOMMY'S RISE AND FALL.

Tommy was ruled by his father and
mother,
Tommy was bossed by his elder brother,
Tommy was tyrannized over each hour
By a very small maid with the face of n
flower.
But one day Tommy was given a wheel.
And he felt like a king on a throne of
steel.
Now, a sudden rise from a serf to a king
Has always proved a dangerous thing,
The people who come into power too quick
Go up like a rocket and down like Il stick.
King Tom. before the first day was done.
Was emperor, sultan and car In one.
IIe owned the pavement, he owned the
street,
He ran the officers off their beat;
He frightened the coachmen out OF their
AS he scorched right under the horses
bits.
Pedestrians fed when they saw him ap-
proach.
He caused disaster to carriage and coach,
For he never turned out. and his pace
never slowed;
His bell was n signal to clear the road,
And | would not r~epeat-indeed. not l.
What the carmen said when his bike went
by.
King Tom only winked in their eyes. with
a grin.
Proud of his power to make them sin.
And holder and bolder each day he grew.
And faster and faster his bicycle flew,
And he was certain he owned the earth
And all that was on it from girth to girth.
And he always got off without hurt or
scratch
Till all of a sudden he met his match.
Reigning one time in his usual splendor.
He came face to face with a tram cars
fender.
He rang his bell for the right Of way,
But a biker may ring till his hair turns
gray.
And a green tram car or it's cousin, trolley.
Will pay no heed to that sort of folly.
All that King Tom recalls of that day
Was riding into the Milky Way,
Where he saw all the stars in the heav
ens-well.
There isn't much more of his reign to tell
He gave his wheel to his brother Bill
And walks on two crutches and always
will,
And he says. as he looks at his wooden
leg.
II went UP like a rocket and down like a
peg"

The 33d Legislative Assembly.

The 33d Legislative assembly of New
Mexico was organized yesterday in a
business-like manner, which augurs
well for the future work of both house
and council. Every member was pres
ent to answer to the roll call, and no
delays We're occasioned by any one on
nected with the opening ceremonies.
In the selection of the presiding Off
GERS, Colonel ]. Francisco Chaves as
president of the council and Captain
Max Luna as speaker of the house, the
members of the legislature have acted
wisely.
Colonel Chaves has been a member of
the council for "a years, and has occu-
pied the presidents chair seven differ
emit terms. AS a parliamentarian the
territory does not possess his equal. Not
only that, but he possesses the faculty
of grasping a situation instantly and
avoiding complications without causing
discussions among councilmen. He is
fair in his decisions and will do every
thing in his power to make matters
move along in a smooth and harmonious
manner
Captain Luna, the speaker of the
house, was a member of the 32d legis-
lature and served with credit in that
body. During the war with Spain he
won as the captain of a troop of
Rough Riders under Colonel Roosevelt,
WI ,- ,a,I- 1 - IT, ,@,,- ,r.11 4-,,.@
himself with as much credit as he did
in the battles before Santiago.
OF the personnel of the council and
the house it is an easy matter to express
the sentiments of those who We're pres
ent at the opening ceremonies more
intelligent, a finer appearing body of
men would be hard to find anywhere.
The members of both the council and
house are well known to most Of the
people in the territory, and that the ses-
sion Of the legislature now assembled
will be a credit to the territory goes
without saying. OF course, the session
has only begun and no one knows what
will actually take place, but the ear
nestness of the members, their express
ed desire to do their duty by the terri
tory and their intentions to advance the
interests of New Mexico have been dem
onstrated in so many different ways the
past few days, since they began to as
semble, as to be a sufficient guarantee
for the results, as they will appear at
the close of the session.
The New Mexican firmly believes that
only good will come to the territory
and people from the SD legislative as
sembly and is willing to allow the ver-
dict of the people to settle all questions
concerning the efficiency Of the present
legislature, after the final adjournment
has been had on March Is next.

Sensible Hawaiian Supreme Court.

The action Of the Hawaiian supreme
court in applying the Chinese exclusion
laws now in force in the United States
to the admission of Chinese into those
islands is an object lesson to that class
of people who are worrying over the
form of government to be given the new
possessions. The Hawaiian court rea-
sons that the Hawaiian islands are a
part of the United States, ergo United
States laws must apply within all parts
of that governmental sensible and log
ical conclusion.
So it ought to be with reference to the
Philippine islands when annexation is
completed; so it should be in Puerto
Rico. Let them become territories and
be given a territorial form of govern
ment, if necessary qualify the present
territorial laws with an educational act
for those islands for a number of years.
The talk of taxation without represen-
tation is nonsense.
q The territories of New Mexico, Ari-
zona, Oklahoma and Indian territories
are governed virtually as colonies, and
the government has had no great
amount of trouble with them in all the
years they have been under the control
of the United States. The supposition
that there are no men in the Philippines
possessed Of intelligence and education
is all folly. In any country which has
been under European control for hun
dreds of years, no matter what condi-
tons were in the past, there are to be
found citizens who are capable Of ad-
ministering a form of government such
as the territorial governments Of the
American territories, and when guard
ed by the supervising power of congress
no trouble will be experienced. The
same holds true in regard to Puerto
Rico.
Were the laws of the United States,
as applicable to the territories extended
to the islands now causing so much dis
cussion as to their future, there would
be no cause for apprehension, and the
opposition of the natives to the control
of the United States would soon pass
away. The trouble seems to be that
because the islands are situated several
thousands Of miles from the home
coasts, it is thought necessary to pro-
vide some new form of government for
them, to branch out on new and untried
lines.
