Dear Mfr. Editor |:

I sometimes wonder how many of our pupils think of studying and really study after the close of the winters term of school How many have regular times fol reading or study every day? How many read at all while not in act. ual school work? How many are encouraged to follow system ot study, by parents or those in whose care the pupils are during the sum- mer months? When I see with what signs of relief pupils cast aside their books at the close of q term, am sorry to admit, even to myself, that self culture is not 50 we'll followed as it should be.
 Not anything need be said con- cerning the importance of incul- eating liking for study at school and elsewhere as we'll, for every one at all observaht readily recog- nizes the value of such training and the careful practice of the same through life. We know that one fact or truth learned each day for year, will giyr us fund of 365 facts and our minds 365 facts power stronger by having learned them, all in single yea; that in ten years the fund would be ten !imes greater and the mind power ten times greater not taking into account the pleasures of mind to be derived from such 8 habit and the ever increasing ratio of gain in facts and power. But we are heed less We fail to see that great deal of our life's happiness may depend on one of the facts thus learned.
 Teachers very often fail to work on lines favoring and strengthen ing the habit and the love of in dependent study. A mind that is not traiaed for independent profit able study, always holds it's posses sor at disadvantage in the struggle of life. The training which minds should rrceive is the kind which enables them to keep on correct lines of thought independent of help if need be, and form right conclusions unassisted. Not by a single effort can the mind acquire the necessary independence of ac- ton to go alone, but by long se- ries of struggles with many failures on the score against it. And it is this habit of study on ones own account that leads to and culti- yates independent thinking.

The Committee on Indian Af- fairs has favorably reported bill for levying taxes for educational purposes in the Indian Territory The demand for this legislation is imperative. From the best esti- mates there are now ill the Indian Territory approximately 500,0OO people. or this number there are of Indians 72,O00; negroes 1S,750 ; white non-cltizens, 100000. The white and the col1red children have no school facility except in 8 few of the larger towns, which IS of necessity very limited. Nearly all the taxes levied by the bill are now levied OF non-citizens by tri- bal laws, and are to be abolished by the fourth section of the substl- ute bill. Each of the five tribes has it's own laws, and there is d great difference inequality in the rate levied by them. The people who pay these taxes derive no ben. eft from them whatever and conse- quently regard them as unjust and oppressive, and almost without ex- ception refuse to pay, until com pelled by the United States to do so.

i hole ne&r PhGnix was found by Dr. Ty-E
 Ter, of the StationC to contain over bill-
 ion germs to the cubic inch. The possi- bility, indeed the certainty, of contami4 1 nation from such source is evident.
 A creamery manager. in defense of his
 own business. is manifestly justified in refusing milk from herd using such
 water, and the Tempe creamery is sat ed to have successfully required that it's patrons obtain we'll water for their cows. Stock water tanks and streams are also wasteful of water The seepage and e. vaporation from large canals sometimes amounts to 30 per cent of the water car ried, and from tanks and small streams such ss are permitted under the Tempe canal it is undoubtedly more
 There is indeed little to be said in favor of the adobe hole, but we have not far to go for remedy. Under our feet, for tue most part within economical pumping distance, is great storage reservoir Of excellent drinking water. South of the river it is from four to fifty feet to this supply while only at the higher levels a- bove Phoenix it is as much as 100 1t. to water
 It has been sufficiently proved by prae- tical men, especially at the lower levels, that wIndmills and horse power pumps are successful and desirable for watering stock. For instance, Dr. Wilbur of Me- sa, states that with 5,00G gallon tank and small windmill he has never run out of water for his stock. Most of the farmers about Mesa are also familiar with the cheap and efficient horsepower devices successfully run in that vicinity.
 In few words, it may be stated thas the adobe hole promotes contagious dis eases among animals, is a drawback to high class dairving, is source of i'll health to human beings, and, together with stock water streams, is extremely wasteful of irrigating water
 With nothing but false economy in it's defense, and with an abundant supply of we'll water within easy reach, it may be classed in many localities as 8 public nuisance, and it's early abolition by progressive farming community is to be earnestly hoped for.

Judge McFie Not a Candidate.

Judge John R. McFie, upon his re
turn from Chicago and hearing that
there had been some talk connecting
his name with the Republican nomi.
nation for delegate to congress, informed
the New Mexican yesterday that he
was not a candidate for such position,
never had been and would not and could
not accept the nomination were it ten
dered him. He is well satisfied with his
present position and desires no other,
1t is a we'll known fact that Judge McFie
is doing his level best to give the people
of tho first judicial district a fair, i'm
partial and Just administration of Justice,
that he Is a very hard-working member
OF the supreme court and that he is
peculiarly well qualified for the position
which he at present holds and in which
he gives great satisfaction to the people,
to the lawyers and to those having bust
ness in his court. with the exception, of
course. of convicted criminals. While
Judge McFie Is remarkably adapted to
discharge the duties of delegate to con-
gress from New Mexico and while the
New Mexican believes that he would
make an exceedingly strong ace and
would be elected, still his determination
not to be a candidate disposes OF the
matter and Judge McFie's name might
IS we'll be dropped from the list OF
candidates.

A Question for New Mexico Sheep Men.

The question that is before the wool
growers, sheep raisers and wool mer-
chants and all those engaged in connec-
ton with sheep raising and wool grow
ing in New Mexico is simple; it is this:
will they vote for a Democratic candidate
for delegate and for Democratic can
didates for legislative and county offices
who favor free trade In wool and a de-
struction of the leading industry Of New
Mexico, or will they vote for Republican
candidates and for the party that has
made wool growing and sheep raising in
New Mexico for the past three years
profitable without compare and proposes
to keep up the policy of protection to
sheep and wool, that New Mexico may
be prosperous and contented? That is
the question; the man who is engaged

those who have injured him and will do
so again when they have the chance;

TIKI COMING FIGHT.
Carlsbad Argus.)

The Democratic plan will be to assail
everything Republican and use all the
blackguardism possible against the Re-
publican candidates. This is the dictum
of those in control of the campaign. The
Republican plan will be to show simple
facts and place them strongly before the
people. Should Captain Fall be nomi.
mated, he will not get strong support
from certain leaders of the Democracy,
because he believes in certain planks of
the Republican platform. Captain Fall
is no fool, and he knows well that the
Democratic bowls of anti-imperialism
and anti-expansion are simply humbug
and only intended to hoodwink voters.
1t is not believed that a platform can be
framed locally to suit Captain Fall, and
the men who control the Democratic
situation are not going to break with
Mr.. Bryan by nominating a man who
does not fully stand by and endorse the
Kansas City platform. They are. one
and all, Office seekers, ard if Mr.. Bryan
should be successful they want to stand
high at the %pie-counter.

Accommodations Should Be Provided.

Springer is short on dwelling houses.
So is Mesilla Park and Las Cruces. So
zorro has the same complaint to make.
Roswell papers say that the first need
OF that city is a hotel. Other New
Mexico towns complain that they can
not give adequate accommodations to
healthseekers visitors and those who
move into the cities for school facilities.
The average healthseeker is Il person of
some means. He probably never has
seen an adobe house before. He doesn't
know of it's comforts, it's GOODNESS in
summer and its warmth in winter. He
wouldn't think of moving into what looks
to him like a burrow of frozen mud with
a few small windows and doors. As he
is generally willing to pay for what he
gets there should be more dwelling
houses built in cottage style with modern
improvements, large windows and plenty
of ground around them. Every town
has a few of these cottages and they
always have tenants. New Mexico is
bound to attract more h~eaIthseekers and
permanent residents who come to the
territory to enjoy the climate and who
are willing to pay for good accommoda-
tions. 1t should pay individua to in
vest capital in providing those accom-
mo%dations, and it costs comparatively
but a trit1e more to build a house that
has an artistic exterior and is modern
in its interior, than i6 does to put up an
ugly looking dwelling that eats up cap
ital to keep it in repairs.

The news of activity and prosperity
prevailing in the mining camps of New

Every once in a while comes a story
from a poor farm, or a poor house, of
people having attained an age of over
100 years. At New Brunswick, N. j., in a
poor house, is a man 1913 years old, who
is still hale and hearty. 1t seems that
living on a poor farm is conducive to
longevity. 1t is among the poor that
most instances of c%entenarians are
found and the reason may be as an old
man at a Pennsylvania village expressed
1t when he celebrated his 1O5th birthday,
and was asked wherein lay the secret
OF his old age: 81 haven't taken a bath
for rs years."
