Army Commissary Improvement.

After the publicity given the Canned
roast beef scandal and the alleged
countless sins of omission and commits
sion charged against the commissary
department of the United States army,
an idea prevailed that it would be diff
cult to secure enlistments for the reor-
ganized regular army. Desirable men,
it was thought, would not enlist with
the likelihood of having to undergo hard
ships with insufficient or unwholesome
food. But both the quartermaster's
and subsistence departments of the ar
my underwent a remodelling and re-
formation after the close of the Spanish
war, that not only developed the most
remarkable esprit du corps, but result
ed in systems of management that

mention in foreign military journals.
There has been no complaint of the
food and the transportation in the Phil
ippines, or in Cuba and Puerto Rico
since the hurried Santiago campaign,
and desirable candidates for United
States service are recognizing this to
such an extent that the full limit of en-
listment will be reached in a short time.
According to the officers in charge of
the recruiting stations, the recruits are
of the finest material, splendid fighting
machines, patriotic, intelligent, enthus-
iastic, and amenable to discipline. 1t
Is safe to say that the personnel of the
United States army has now reached a
mark higher than ever reached before.
Moreover, volunteers are t%hronging in
to the regular service with an earnest
ness hat is attracting general atten-
ton, and the pessimists are finding ref
uge in silence as they see the grounds
of their gloomy forebodings cut from

Public Debts Should Be Paid.

tration the Importance of taking ad-
vantage of the special congressional
act to allow that city to fund it's indebt-
edness. The recommendation is very
timely; it is a matter of rigth and JUS
tice that the citizens holding warrants
against the city for services rendered
or for supplies furnished should receive
their money promptly. Every county,
city and precinct in the territory should
strive to a off Indebtedness at the

marks. there will never be a better

Santa Fe for Conventions,

This is an age Of conventions. Ev-
cry imaginable interest nowadays has
organized in some way or the other and
holds an annual convention to discuss
affairs of mutual interest, to legislate,
to elect officers and to give an occasion
for an outing and social enjoyment.
Summer time is the period for
tons and during the next few months
ambitious newspapers will lave a hard
time keeping track of all the onven
lions held in various parts of the United
States. Aside from the benefit to the
interests holding conventions there is
a certain general good derived from
these gatherings. They serve to make
the people more cosmopolitan, they
kill narrowness, prejudice, sectionalism,
and emphasize the brotherhood of man.
A convention also generally means a
little boom for the town in which it
meets and is often a source of profit to
business men.
Santa Fe is an ideal convention town
and should advertise itself more as
such. This city has the finest summer
climate in the world and weather Of
ten makes or mars a convention; socie-
ties deciding to meet here could be al
most certain of fair weather, for any
other kind of weather is the exception
in this part of New Mexico. Santa Fe
good hotel accommodations and at
fractions that annually bring many
strangers from all parts of the world.
All this city needs to do is to advertise
itself, build a new opera house where
conventions could meet and it will in
become a favorite place for all
sorts of conventions and encampments
that would bring thousands Of dollars
to merchants, hotel keepers and indi-
rectly to many other interests.

never failed to provide needed funds
for making the fair a success. This
