Ell Paso is again in a squabble with
the electric light company. The NUM-
cipality and citizens, are paying about
$4,000 monthly for lights and most of
this must be profit. AS an electric plant
better than that of Ell Paso could be put
in for a sum entirely within the reach
of the city, the municipality and the
citizens would be gamers if a public
system we're established and rates low
cred. This cannot happen as long as
corporations and capitalists elect city
officers to prevent such perquisites be-
ing cut off. Municipal ownership would
Danish this corrupt influence in politics.
El Paso is not worse off than many other
places in this respect, but it is a good ex-

AND BRYAN.
kansas CITY Star.)

Whatever disagreements William j.
Bryan and Perry Belmont may enter
tain there is one point upon which they
agree. and that is their undying dislike
of the Republican party. Mr.. Bryan, in
a recent letter, described Mr.. Belmont
and his associates as Republican allies
masquerading as Democrats between
campaigns in order to give more potency
to their betrayal of Democratic princi-
pies on election day." Mr.. Belmont, in
the letter he gave to the public Monday,
charges back at Mr.. Bryan with the
declaration that he-Bryan-has taken
up discarded Republican doctrines.
Republicans invented the full legal
tender greenback and put the invention
on the statute books against a united
Democratic vote" said Mr.. Belmont.

NEW MEXICO OPPORTUNITIES.
Albuquerque Journal Democrat

Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
Mr.. Davis. the industrial commission
er of the Santa Fe company. is doing a
valuable service for Kansas. This gives
us reason to hope that when it comes
our turn to receive his attention. New
Mexico will feel the benefit of his SER
vices.
The building of a flour mill in Kansas
means employment for a few men. and
the hauling to market of a certain
quantity of -four in lieu of the wheat
which otherwise would have been
hauled, but the opening of a mine
would mean the employment of sew
eral hundred men, to be supplied with
food and clothing hauled in by the COM
pany, and to become the producers of
hundreds of car loads of ore to be
hauled out of the country. The devel-
opment of an irrigation proposition, to
reclaim a few thousand acres of land.
would mean the establishment of a new
community in this part of the country,
whose members would all be permanent
patrons of the road, and whose mer-
chandise coming in, and surplus prod
ucts going out, would constitute far
more business for the line than the out
put of a Touring mill. There are hun
dreds of such opportunities to be found
in New Mexico.

The Taos Cresset is complaining of
the high freight rates in that section
of the country. Railway charges over
there may or may not be higher than
are warranted. 1t is we'll enough to
protest If they are. But n thing is
certain. An effective method of secur-
ing lower rates is for a community to
grow. 1t will not grow unless industry
is cultivated and the citizens make the
most of the local resources. They
should do all in their power to open up
mines, raise as much farm produce as
possible and ship all the stock available
or drive it to market if that be cheaper.
The people should individually and col
lectively invite outside investments.
And in conducting negotiations, fairness
and honesty should rule. No COM
munity that takes m%oneyed men for
suckers and attempts to load them
with Indifferent property at fictitious
prices, will succeed in attracting capital.
When a locality becomes active and
populous enough to furnish considerable
business for a railway, lower rates nat
urally follow, just as a wholesale buyer
of merchandise gets lower figures than
a small retailer. A railway recognizes
that unless it follows this practice it
will eventually have to share business
with a competitor at lower rates. The
rule holds good that they who get help
from a railway corporation or other
source, must first help themselves.

NEXT DECORATION DAY.
cleveland Plain Dealer.)

1t is quite possible that Decoration
day of this year will be celebrated with
much more fervor than it has been cele-
brated for many years past. Since the
closing of the Spanish-American war an
added significance attaches itself to
Decoration day. There are other lives
to remember and other graves to decor
ate. 1t is possibly true that few of the
military organizations are in condition
to make a suitable military parade.
However, from a spiritual standpoint,
the day should be we'll observed.

San Juan county, New Mexico, is re-
cciving much favorable comment from
outside papers in connection with the
opening of the southern Ute reservation,
1t is a splendid section of country for
stock raising, farming by irrigation, and
growing apples and many other products.
Lying up against Colorado, with a eli
mate as favorable as is found in the
most favored sections of that state, the
district also has the advantage Of Den
YER and the great mining districts as a
market for products. Settlement of the
reservation and the available private
land in the San Juan region will give
improved transportation facilities, lower
freight rates, and material progress may
be expected within the next five years.

THE BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION.

eddy Argus.)
The personnel of the immigration
board is M that guarantees that the
interests of New Mexico will be care
fully looked after during the ensuing
two years. Wherever there has been a
movement having as its object the ad-
vancement of New Mexico, l.. Bradford
Prince has been identified Herewith.
At the head of the immigration board
he will do valiant work for the whole
territory. MI. Springer is regarded as
one of the most substantial citizens as
well as one of the most able attorneys
of the territory and his services to the
board will be of great worth. The
Argus notes with special pleasure the
selection of Max. Frost for secretary.
He has ot1iciated in that position off and
on for the past six years, is thoroughly
familiar with the work and duties of the
Office and has a knowledge of the needs
of New Mexico that makes him espe-
cially competent and his selection a
wise one. He is a hard worker and will
give faithful attention to all details.
w. A. Hawkins, of ~Alamogordo, and A..
G. Campbell, of Eddy, are too well
known to the people Of the Pecos valley
to need special attention. Identified
with the two most vigorous, prosperous
and rapidly developing sections of the
territory it is eminently proper that
they have a place on the board, and
their being there will insure careful
work. Il. Lowenthal, treasurer, has a
most excellent record and his retention
will add strength to the bureau. The
bureau has already planned a course of
work and New Mexico will ere long reap
the result thereof.
