Newspapers Squeal.

The newspapers all W Colorado are
urging congress to remove the duty up
on wood pulp. Probably the papers have
been buying from an eastern mill which
was selling at cheap figures in order
to drive the Colorado paper mill out of
business, and now when they are COM
PEELED Ito pay higher prices want the
government to help them fight the deal
ers and manufacturers whom they have
been patronizing instead of helping to
build up a home industry. With the
water power and fuel in the west, and
plenty of timber suitable for making
wood pulp, manufacturers should be
able to make paper and sell it in the
western market regardless of eastern
competition and the European supply
of wood pulp. Somebody must pay the
cea freight on imported pulp. and
western consumers must pay %transpor-
tation charges upon paper sent across
the continent. There is a large field in
the west and in Mexico for paper made
in the Rocky mountain region. Most Of
the paper used in Mexico from
Germany, but there is nc reason why
America cannot control the situation,
just as has been done with other arti-
Giles Of manufacture.

Trees for Towns.

Visitors to the new town of Alamo
gordo, which has been built so quickly
hat there has hardly been time to
paint the houses since they We're erect
ed. have sometimes made the comment
that it looked raw because there are no
gardens, trees and orchards there.
Houses may be built in a few days, but
trees cannot be made to grow to any
extent in one season. While shade trees
have been planted along the Streets,
enough to soon make them shady, Or
chards and gardens have not been pro-
vided. But this cannot long be said of
the town, for last Saturday suburban
tracts We're placed on sale, and at once
over fifty acres was taken by people
who propose to at once make gardens.
park-like tracts and orchard -e1nbow-
cred cottages. Some of the old towns in
New Mexico, where no attention has
BEEN paid to the matter of systematic
tree planting along the streets, should
follow the example set at Carlsbad,
which has been thus beautified, and
which is now to be emulated by Ala
mogordo. In a country where rootless,
bare poles planted along the bitches de-
velop branches. send out roots and be-
come great trees quickly in the stimu-
lating sunshine, there is no excuse for
the barren appearance Of streets.

Taylor's Title the Best.

There is one thing to be remembered
about the Kentucky trouble. The DEM
ocratic election board of the state heard
all that the Goebelites had to say, and
listened to the evidence upon both sides
and then decided to give a certificate of
election to Governor Taylor. No other
person holds so good a title to the office.
The legislature intended to give the
place to Goebel, but did not succeed in
doing so before adjournment, although
the Democratic members subsequently
went through the form of declaring the
dying MAN governor in order to give a
claimant to the office Of lieutenant gov
ernor a chance to succeed to the execu-
tive position. Had the legislature made
Goebel governor through a partisan act
the courts would have had to pass upon
1t before Governor Taylor could nave
been ousted. And that is what must yet
be done If the Democrats continue their
efforts to seat the late candidate for
lieutenant governor in place of Govern
or Taylor, whom the people elected, ac-
cording Ito the decision Of the Democrat
lie election board, which is generally adj
mitted by all fair men and newspapers
to have been the only honest decision
that could have been given.

Carnegie's Offer.

Andrew Carnegie is said to have eX-
pressed a willingness to refund to the
government the $40, 900, 900 paid to Spain
providing the Philippine islands be not
annexed. The old iron master could part
with hat sum and not suffer, but he
certainly could put it to better uses than
aiding in enslaving the Filipinos at the
hands of the Tagals. AS this country
cares no more for twenty millions thar
for twenty cents when lit comes to a
matter of this sort, the old Scotchman
should try the bride upon England as
