FRONTIER STORIES

THE HERALD is continually adding
new features in it's desire to present
the best of reading for every member
of the family and every class of the
community. Our motto is, give all the
news and as much additional good
reading as possible.
In accordance with this policy the
HERALD today begins series of>ori-
ginal stories, written especially for
this paper by Col. George Wythe
Baylor. Col. Baylor Is we'll known in
this city by all old timers. All the
stories, which will appear regularly In
our Saturday special edition, will have
lively local interest, and will be true
accounts of actual events.
They will all deal with frontier life
in the old days, and will be we'll worth
careful reading.

and it is believed that we can start in
to give the Cubsns q show for them.
selves. Which sounds well, but fancy
Paso five years from now. There may
be brief intermission to give the
Cubans bushel of sulphur. and let
them 60 off into the bushes to create q
little hades of their own, but it will be
brief. We have q market of u, 900, ZOO
people with whom the Cubsns can have
free trade If they play their cards
right and there isn't anywhere else
they can send products duty-free. So
| all questions of sentiment aside, grav-
itation will compel them to come in.
Uncle Sam ia studying thu rat pro-
blem from new point of view. There
are several steamers in New York
harbor carrying cases of bubonic
plague, real or supposed. Disinfeoting
the cargo and tie ship is easy enough,
but disinfecting the rats is different
thing. Unless the ships are actually
burnt out at sea 1t Is not seen how the
rats can be disposed of, and one rat
getting ashore might carry the plague.
So the Marine Hospital service doctors
here are concerned. In fact, all the
nations are walking the floor in regard
to the rat-bubonic plague just now.
Russia has ordered the use of an elao-
crate funnel shaped piece of iron on
the mooring ropes of foreign vessels
coming from plague ports.
Unless there is concealed string in
the Samoa dicker, we didn't come out
with q lanyard exactly. Great Britain
gets compensation somewhere else and
Germany gets the whole outfit practi-
calN except the Island of Tutuila,
which falls to US. AS We already
had the exclusive right to Pago-Pago
harbor which is the only thing on the
island worth anything, and besides had
an un divided third interest in the rest
of the island, we do not make much.
However, it is worth something to be
quit Of bothersome tripartite. govern
ment.

FRIENDS of Roberts of Usah-he has
some friends-are pointing out the
fact that he was an active advocate OF
the abolition of polygamy, but that,
once having, under a wrong religion,
taken to himself plurality of wives, it
would not be just, by any course of
reasoning, to cast away the overplus,
even should he be able to determine
which one of the mess of wives he de-
sired to keep. Wives cannot be treat
ed as one treats blind kittens, i. g., by
picking out a favorite one and drowning
the rest. The Los Angeles Daily
Times thinks that the wisdom of con-
gress will certainly be seriously taxed
to arrive at a fair adjustment of the
problem it has In hand.

MORE SCHOOLS

The school board is acting most wise
ly in taking immediate steps to secure
site for the future high school build
ing. Several times mistakes have
been made in waiting until the last
minute to buy, and in not looking
ahead when buying school property.
The figures at hand clearly show the
rate of increase that must be provided
for. Strange as it may seem, the
whole $50, 900 lately expended for in
creased school accommodation has been
absorbed in providing for last years
overflow, and this year, with all the
new buildings and additions, we still
have that waiting list Some
children are still compelled to go with
out schooling at an age when they
should be acquiring the ground work of
education.
The HERALD believes thoroughly in
higher education, and holds that the
standard of the public schools should
be kept high and that the
high school should prepare for
any college or university.
But as long as the present crowded
condition of the schools in the lower
grades, among both whites and Mex
leans, persists, elementary educa-
ton for alp should be the guiding
principle.
Within year or two moro schools
must be built The HERALD strongly
favors new high school, when ele-
mentsry needs are fully provided for.
But the elementary schools must ever
take precedence.
