in the agitation of this subject. ut is
idle to tell me- said the speaker, that
we have territory enough. This country
swarms as often as a hive of bees, and
as new swarms are turned out each
year there must be hives in which they
can gather and make their honey. I
tell you, increase and multiply, and ex-

Any one of you gentlemen would be
foolish to say to a son 12 years old that
he Is big enough, and must not grow
any larger, and In order to prevent his
growth put a hoop around him to keep
him to his present size. What would be
the result? Either the hoop must burst
and be rent a%sunder, or the child must
die. So it would be with this great ma

The amount of railroad construction
in Colorado this year is almost unprece-
dented. If only half of the railroads
projected for New Mexico be built this
year the same may be said of this terri
tory. In Otero county, in the southern
portion of New Mexico, a railway is be-
ing built, and in the northeast and the
north several important branch lines
are projected, in addition to the extern
sive improvements Thai the Denver and
Rio Grande and the Santa Fee railroads
are making to their roadbeds, bridges
and rolling stock. 1t is altogether likely
also that a railroad will be built across
the central part of the territory to con
meet Roswell with the Santa Fe system.
AS railroads are the first requisites in
these modern days for developing and
settling a country, there are great days
ahead for New Mexico. Let the people
stick to the territory, for prosperity is
building a permanent abode in this sec
ton,

the reasons advanced for his action
wife murderers, wife heaters and those
who treat children and dumb animals
with cruelty, will find no mercy at his

advocate Of the establishment of a
whipping post for such offenders. Wife
beating is an offense regarded with
strong disgust by American men of any
claim to decency. The attitude of the
New York governor upon that question
and the frankness with which he cham
pions woman's rights will doubtless
bring him marked attention from the
woman suffragists of New Mexico when
he visits Las Vegas next month.

Kansas made quite a fuss because the

franchises of corporations. The legis-

would have been no rest from the shout

With all the professions of England
as to her great love for America, there
is now a w~ell-deined effort upon the
part of British diplomats to squeeze
America into granting the claims of
Canada to a slice Of Alaska. The COM

have been unable to agree upon ar
rangements satisfactory to the two
countries simply because Canada is in

can she automatically bamboozle this

A prominent railroad director last
week advised a local business a who
spoke of removing to another town:
Santa Fee may be sleeping now, but
against it's will it is destined to be the
most important town between Pueblo
and Ell Paso. Mark my words for it,
here are Improvements in contempla-
ton for Santa Fe that will in the next
three years rob it of some of it's an
tiqueness, but will make it a live, hus-
Ting western city" The railroad di-
rector was not at liberty to divulge the
nature of the improvements contem-
plated, but said that while Santa Fe
will reap the greatest benefit from them,
the whole territory, and especially the
country from Santa Fe to White Oaks,
would profit by them.

The employment of home capital en-
courages foreign capital to come to New
Mexico. Wherever local capital is tim
id the foreign investor will become sus-
picious, but where home funds are in
vested he is apt to invest freely, too,
Fortunately for New Mexico, more
home capital is used in the territory
than is generally supposed. Nearly all
farms are owned by people who have
their residence here, hundreds of mines
are worked by New Mexico people, and
thousands of cattle are the property of
home stock raisers. 1t is one sign of
prosperity in New Mexico that more
than in any other territory its own peo-
pie have developed the greater part of
the country and own considerable of
the wealth it produces.

EXAMPLE AND WARNING
(Hartford Courant.)

Hartford Courant.)
1t was sixty-seven years ago, to be
exact, that the congress of the United
States undertook to treat the Indians of
the five civilized tribes as President
Mckinley is now told he should treat
the Tagalogs, Visayans, Negritos, etc.
The Indians wanted to be dealt with as
independent nations. 1--WE agree" said
congress, and the agreement was en-
bodied in formal treaties. They wanted
to govern themselves in accordance
with their traditions and customs. "You
SHALL" said congress. They wanted to
hold their lands in common "Be it as
you ,wish,' said congress. The benevo-
lent protection of the United States was
extended over the five tribes. No one
was to be permitted to modest them Or
make them afraid. Their undisturbed
enjoyment of their territorial domain
and their political autonomy were guar
anteed. They were to be helped and en-
couraged, but not controlled; only they
must avoid any head-on collision with
the constitution of the protecting
try. The theory was that they would
voluntarily adopt the ideas, ways, and
laws of their white neighbors and be-
come in time good Americans.
That was nearly seventy years ago.
Millions of dollars have been expended
by our government since then for the
benefit of the five tribes. and at the end
we see their affairs in a condition which
has been described in a presidential
message as "insufferable," and for five
years now congress has been trying to
cure the mischiefs entailed by that be-
nevolent protectorate.

Contracts in restraint of trade ind no
favor under federal statutes, and have
been frequently pronounced invalid by
the courts. A recent instance is in the
circuit court of appeals decision at
Nashville against the woodenware
trust, which controls so per cent of the
productive capacity of the country in
this line. This combination has made
contracts with various manufacturers,
guaranteeing certain sums regularly as
dividends on stock in the central COM
pany in consideration Of the closing OF
their factories for a year. Such con-
tracts, according to the federal court OF
appeals decision recently handed down,
! are contrary to public policy, and,
therefore, unlawful and without valid
| ity. The manufacturer who enters into
an industrial combination and shuts
down his plant at it's behest may get
his promised share Of the profits of mo-
nopoly, but he can not collect it by any
known and established process of law,

rewarded the man who dares to do, in
stantly and in danger. Instinctively it
rushes to honor the virile and thus in
sures itself of virility. When the de-
mocracy's volunteer comes home men
give him their votes and women their
love. And if there is any idolatry in
modern peoples it is the worship be-
slowed upon the heroic dead. 1t is an
indication Of soundness in the body

She wants to diminish the horrors OF
war by limiting the use of existing ex-
plosives and by f%orbidding the employ
ment of any explosives more deadly
than those now in the magazines. She
wants also to forbid the use of torpe-
does and submarine mines. In other
words, all those materials used for
quickly and effectively weakening the
power of an enemy she objects to, but
she desires to reserve to herself the
right to destroy the commerce of En-
gland, and to capture her grain ships.
For sudden death to combatants she
wants to substitute the slow tortures
of starvation of non-combatants. The
most powerful weapons which she could
use against England in that contest in
the east which seems to be approaching
would be the right to attack her mer-
chant ships, and Russia seems to be
aware of this fact.
