The Independent Vote in New Mexico.

A glance at the election returns i'm
New Mexico shows that the voters of
the territory have learned to vote. The
Independent voter proved that he holds
the balance of power judging by the
checkered result in many of the coun-
ties where candidates of both parties
We're elected or where the county off
GERS elected, differ in politics from the
territorial ticket which received the
majority. A result like that shows two
things, that the citizens give thought
to political matters and a spread of in
telligence- among them. 1t is in COM
munities which have made the greatest
advances that the independent voter is
the most numerous and where all par
ties are held in check and prevented
from going to extremes in any direc-
ton. AS long as the Republican
party, both nationally and in the terri
tory, makes as good a record as it did
in the past four years, it will have the
independent voter on it's side, which in
itself is an Endorsement of the highest
kind.

nave died Ia The United States Within
the last few days were Robert q. Dunn,
Henry Willard and Marcus DAILY, All
three were great men although their
greatness can not be measured by any
other standard than that of the nine
tcenth century. Before that time, it
was only the warrior, the statesman,
the author and the artist who might
achieve greatness but Dun, Willard and
DAILY were great in other respects. All
three commenced life as poor boys.
Dun was an errand boy and the other
two were despised foreigners, one a
when they commenced life in this land
of opportunities. They all three became
financiers and grew wealthy. That this
was not mere chance or luck is proven
by the fact that Willard lost and made
three fortunes. These lives prove that
any young man may rise above the
circumstances of poverty and acquire
wealth and while possessing no talent or
genius to shine in the world of literature
and art or as a warrior or a statesman,
may acquire fame in a humber though
M less certain way. Tr lily, the
United States is a land of opportunities
where the poor boy enters. life with the
same chances to advance as does the rich
mans or the famous mans son.

The Population Of Colorado.

The result of the census in Colorado
has just been made public and as con-
ditions in the neighboring state are
akin to those in New Mexico, a glance
over the result will be interesting. The
Centennial state has gained 1913 per
cent in population, but little more than
New Mexico the past ten years. Fiji
teen counties have lost in population,
some over so per cent. Among the
counties that lost in population are the
most thinly populated sections of the
state. Take away Arapahoe, Pueblo,
Ell Paso, Teller, Boulder, Las Animas
and Weld counties with their large
cities and the rest of the state is no
more thickly populated than New Mex
leo. These counties have populations
ranging from 6,SOS to 153,O17 inhabit-
ants and it is only the first four men,
toned that have a larger population
than any New Mexico county and that
because in them are situated Denver,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Cripple
Creek. Some Of the cities in the state
like Aspen, Ouray and Golden have lost
considerable in population, the first
named owe fifty per cent. The only
cities having over 5000 population are
Denver 134, 1000; Pueblo 80, 900; Colorado
Springs q 1000; Leadville, / 1000; Cripple
Creek 10000; Boulder 5000: Trinidad
5000; Victor 5000. Durango has 3,1Oo
people and Alamosa LOO, while Anto-
nito only runs up to 347 inhabitants.
The population of Colorado, in 1900 is
times that of 1860. It's popula-
ton to the square mile is SO. Of the
ffty-seven counties in the state AZ show
an increase, Otero county having in
creased the most, 174.S per cent. Ar
comes next with an increase of
[56 per cent. Then comes Bent with
Mesa 11S; Delta III; Morgan 1O4:
100; Prowers 81; Hinsdale
4 and San Miguel So per cent. Taken
n all, Colorado has made a good adj
but not the phenomenal record
t made in the two decades previous.

Russia takes pains to deny the story
that it annexed a slice of China and at
the same time to emphasize it's disin-

with the American policy on the island.
After nearly four centuries of misrule

gress in education and enlightenment

The fact that Secretary of State Hay
is to 90 to London as ambassador en-
phasizes the close relations between the
two great English speaking nations.
1t also shows that of late years diplo-
macy has assumed a dignity in the eyes
of the United States it never possessed
before. With Great Britain and the
United StaseS in accord, the peace of
the world and the progress of mankind
toward a still higher goal ought to be
assured. If such an accord without a
formal alliance is brought about, history
will give Secretary Hay a place beside
Mckinley and to both as great a fame as
has fallen to Washington and Lincoln.

RECLAlMING ARID LANDS.
Likely to Be the Next Great Internal I'm
provement of the United States.
Chicago Record.)

Chicago Record.)
A discussion respecting the reclaim
ing of arid lands of the United States
at it's banquet Saturday night. Prob
ably no greater physical and economic
problem is before the United States at
this time, and there probably is no
other problem which will bring about
such far-reaching and beneficial results
when solved. A fair estimate that has
been made of the land that may be
made available for cultivation by i'm
pounding waters for irrigation pul-
poses places its area at 100, 900, 900 acres
It is now practically worthless. With
irrigation it is claimed this and would
be worth from $500, 900, 900 to perhaps
ten times that amount, and if not sold
it could be rented for 81 to IS a year per
acre. The necessity for dealing
promptly with the problem is accentu-
ated by the fact that all over the arid
region irrigating companies are now at
work obtaining control of vast tracts
of land and of the impounding basins
by means of which they may be sup
piled with water. In many instances
vested rights in water privileges and
land are being acquired by these COM
panies that will be used as the basis for
making eXtortionate demands on the
government, should some plan for gen.
eral improvement be decided on. Some
idea of the Importance of the matter
may be gathered from the fact that
the Republican national platform
strongly ]pronounces in favor of a sys-
TEN of arid-land reclamation that will
leave the distribution of water on such
lands in the hands and under the con-
troll of the people of the states and
territories where the lands are situated.
One of the important features of the
reclamation of arid lands by means of
impounding reservoirs is the fact that
it would be immensely helpful to the
project of improving the great rivers
of the west into commercial waterways.
A system has been devised by a num-
Der of engineers, we'll posted ON the
subject, which shows that impounding
reservoirs built along the Mississippi
river would save man, acres of land
from alternating floods and droughts
and would make possible a channel
twenty feet in depth from Lake Mich
igan, if desired, to the Gulf of Mexico.
Undoubtedly the next great internal
Improvement of the United States will
be a plan for the reclamation of arid
lands, which will work tremendously
with the improvement Of the great
rivers.

The navy of the United States is the
nations pride, but its needs are not so
well understood as they should be.
While the nation has the best ships
ever constructed for naval warfare
and has a sufficient number of them
for present needs, it has not supplied
the men to man them. 1t has been a
reproach for years hat the naval au-
thorities are compelled to hire so many
foreigners to man the ships and still
to be about 20. 1000 men short of the act
ual requirements in time of peace.
Congress must find a remedy, by not
only authorizing a larger force for the
navy but also by providing for some
inducements to American young men to
enter the service as a career.
