The movement for the proper cele-
bration of the laying of the corner
stone of the new city hall is now fairly
launched. Let all the people get to-
gether and make this occasion q grand
success. The men who have been ap-
pointed on the committees represent
the best element among citizens, and
the committee is to be congratulated
upon its selections. The men are of q
sort that mean business, and it is to be
hoped that the hard work will not be
allowed tn fall entirely upon the few
who are selected to see to the carrying
out OF tie details of the celebration.
The committees of citizens are not to
be expected to do all the work and pay
all the money too. They should have
the fullest cooperation of all citizens,
In every way, and support should not
be withheld on any pretext. Nothing
seems to stand in the way of splendid
consummation of the project, and let us
hope that Ell Paso will do herself cred-
it, in her own eyes as we'll as in those
of the visitors who will pour in, no
doubt, on that day.

suitable market house, where green
groeers, butchers, and all sorts OF pro-
vision dealers could be grouped con-
veniently. Nothing is gained by the
present scattering of such business
concerns. The experience In every
community has been that when a
market house is built the trade of all
holding stalls increases wonderfully,
because greater opportunity is thus Of
fered for tempting display, and friend
ly competition induces greater effort
and far better success in attracting
custom

DURING these dusty, windy days the
city needs two things badly. 1t needs
to have all the street sprinklers put to
work and kept at work all day, and it
needs to have great quantity of the
loose dirt which filters up the streets
carted off out of town. The condition
of Myrtle avenue, for instance, from
Stanton street for half mile out is q
disgrace to any civilized community,
especially when a few hours or days of
work on the part of some of the hoboes
that infest the town would clean them
up in short order. It only needs a
little work with the shovel and hoe
and scraper and cart to put most of our
city streets in pretty fair condition.
Surface work only is all we insist on
just now. 1t doesn't need any bond
issue. It doesn't need the employment
of any expensive assistants. It only
needs proper application to business
on the part of the street and grade
committee of the city council and on
the part of the street commissioner.
Why don't they 60 and see for them
selves?

THE news today that Aguinaldo and
b g insurgents have attacked Manila
must be read in direct connection with
the fact that the senate today votes on
the ratification of the peace treaty. 1t
looks as if the insurgents made this
play in order to lessen the chsnces for
the ratification of the treaty. They
have made q mistake If they hope to
gain anything by their action. What
they are doing for political effect can
only operate to their destruction.

Women as School DlreCto

Women as School Directors.
Philadelphia Times.
The disposition displayed in q num-
Der of towns to nominate women for
school directors could with value to
the schools be emulated by many dis
tricts which have not yet arrived at
that advanced point in educational af-
fairs. The ability of women to sue
coed in the professions and in some
business pursuits is no longer question
ed and they are welcomed as partici-
pants in these sterner walks by the
iberal-minded men who will admit
their keenness of intellect, their safe
reasoning powers and their industry.
AS directors of public schools they
would be in much more congenial
sphere and one in which they would
accomplish even bstter results.
The schools come next to the homes.
and 1t is but step for the ruler of the
latter to become an adviser of the form
er. Women as teachers admittedly &C.
complish more in the primary and in
many OF the higher grades than do
men. 1t ls cot unreasonable to claim
that one or more women on each
school board would prove as valuable
an acquisition to the board and as
much of benefit to the schools. Too
little Importance is usually attached
to visits to schools, by directors and
too few are made. Teachers and schol-
ars are kept to higher pitch of effort
when their work is submitted to the
test of inspection, and by 10 one would
inspection be more thorough than by
well-quRlified women, who are in SYM
pathy with the pupil aud the teacher
and with right methods of education.
No school district will regret the
election of an intelligent woman to it's
board of directors, and it cannot be
that the time is far distant when school
patrons will generally recognize this
fact.

Joseph Letter TO Visit Arizona And
Probably New Mexico.

joseph Letter. the great wheat
speculator- of Chicago, is doubtless
casting about for an easier life than
be finds in the pit He is now in
Colorado, and is quoted as saying:
Capital in larger proportion
the ground-the source of all
is going over the state and will visit
several other neigh boring states with
a view of acquiring valuable mineral
lands in the Rocky mountain region
said the Denver Record. He will pay
visit to Arizona and look over some
copper lands, and before he returns to
the east it is more than likely that he
will have closed several large deals on
mining proper ties.
Colorado has legacy in her hills
and mountains which can never be eX-
hausted ''Mr. Letter is quoted as say
ing,' and never wrested from her by
panic or financial depression. Her
future is all before her, aud what has
been done in mining in the past has
merely been the passing of the pros
pect age"
Mr.. Letter speaks encouragingly for
the future of the mining industry, and
his praise of Colorado is equally ap-
plicable to Arizona and New Mexico.
His determination to engage in mining
is an evidence that the business is be-
ing conducted upon a legitimate plane
and is not nearly 80 hazardous as q
hucuuating wheat market. A cautious
man need not deal in Futures
here in Arizona, says the Silver Belt.
The mountains are swollen out of all
proper tion by their enormous preserves
of precious metals, waiting, seemingly,
for the hand of man to relieve them Of
their burdens. Arizona is an inviting
field for such men as Mr.. Letter. and 1t
is more than likely he will find here
in the mining propositions he seeks
som ething that will make his heart
glad and enrich the Golfers of his as
sociates exceedingly.
