ROYCE roared loudly a few years
ago because the peoples party dele
gates to a county convention held a
caucus before the convention met.
Reports of the Hays City convention
tell that the work of the convention
was done in caucus. There are times
when all political parties want to
wash their troubles behind closed

of this county held its convention for

What One Man Has Done.

In the new town of Alarnogordo are
several Thousand inhabitants, two i'm
mense sawmills, scores Of people at
work for the railways. with noisy trains
dropping down from the clouds appar-
emily with loads of logs from forests
hidden from the view Of the town, and
long trains of coal rolling from the
mountains. Where hundreds Of resi-
dences NOW stand, and merchants are
profiting in trade with the industrial
laborers and the settlers in the sur
rounding hills, no house could two years
ago be seen within the range of vision
Of the present town. The coal supply
was an uncertain quantity, and the
timber might as well have been in Chi
ma. for all the possibility of putting 1t
into market to compete with lumber
from a Thousand miles distance. A Sec
ond town is being started near the coal
mines, which will in a year equal the
town OF Alamogordo as 1t now Is, and
Lincoln and Otero counties will COR
vie with one another in magnitude OF
population. These results came about
primarily through the combination of
good Judgment and enterprise of n
person In properly directing capitalists
toward opportunities for investment in
the lumber industry, mining, railway
and town building. This shows how
mi man like Charles B. Eddy, who has
perseverance, az we'll as enterprise. can
do much tor an undeveloped country.
There are several sections OF the terri
tory that need the aid of such a worker.

ENFORCING Law for Decent Behavior.

Silver City has a justice of the peace
who believes that laws were made to be
enforced and not disregarded. Pistol
packers who get into trouble are pretty
apt to pay heavy penalties, and when
women disregard a law which was in
tended to prevent orgies and rows re-
sulting from their presence in saloons
they feel the heavy hand just the same
as men who violate laws. Two women
who drank at a bar a few days ago had
to contribute $25 each to the public
treasury. Doubtless there were many
men in the town who thought the wom-
en- should have been allowed the same
rights as men, but this variety of wom-
ans rights will not be very seriously
demanded by the sex generally, al
though most of them would, if they had
the chance. make the same penalty APP
ply to men who go to a bar to drink
They do not sympathize with a woman
who violates laws, but they would have
men fined for ~intemperance, and Their
go to the washtub, if need be, to maxi
money to keep them out of Jail. But
women would never pay fines of con
victed women, whose offense of drunk
enness the sex believe less pardonable

Texans Want New Mexico Ranges.

1t is alleged hat Fort Worth secured
the recent convention of the National
Live Stock Association by promising
that Texas would keep hands off in the
effort for leasing the public domain,
which was defeated at the previous
meeting in Denver, so far as the in
dorsement of the organization was con-
cerned. But when the question came up
at the last meeting the entire Texas
delegation voted in favor of the resolu-
ton for leasing, and by their votes pre-
vented the proposition being again
turned down. AS Texas has within her
borders no domain belonging to the
government to be leased, the members
of the delegation in that state could
very properly have left the matter to
be passed upon by the delegates from
states and territories to be affected by
the proposed law. But having gobbleo
| the state lands of Texas under a lease
law, the larger owners and corpora
tions engaged in the cattle industry
| wish the government to let them have
the ranges which the people of New
| Mexico now have for their cattle ant
| sheep, and so voted to recommend sucf
a measure.

country. AS this branch of the nsu
work is to be undertaken at the sugges-
ton of - friends of irrigation works,
the results are expected to be of service
in showing what has been accom-
plished, the extent of canals, the value
thereof, the area that can be watered
and the achievements with regard TO
the reclamation of arid lands by this
method. Every man in New Mexico
who Is informed upon this subject, from
the irrigation official to the farmer,
should furnish the enumerators with
data, for much depends upon the sue
cess of the inquiry. Upon the informa-
tom secured, arguments will be based
for and against the work of construct
ing storage reservoirs by the general
government. There is no reason for
concealment and abundant cause for
qualification in the results achieved by
the irrigationists, and the people of
New Mexico should be glad that this
matter is to be the subject of special in
vestigation by the government.

Of Albuquerque, and which will suffer
nothing by comparison with the best
schools Of eastern cities, and every
country district in which a handful OF
children can be brought together has
it's public school, in which instruction is
given in both English and Spanish. And
in addition to the schools supported by
the city and counties, the territory
maintains from the territorial treasury
a military institute, a school of mines,
two normal colleges. an agricultural
college and a university, all with facul-
ties as capable as tlloes to be found in
like institutions in any part Of the Unit
ed States, while besides all these there
are private schools, k~indergartens and
UNCONVENTIONAL schools, all of the best
class in their way, and which, though
not a part of the American state ma
chinery of education, are valuable con-
tributors to the work in hand, inasmuch
as they give the graduate a fair general
education in addition to religious in
struction, and this opens Ito him all the

The paper attempts TO make out that
the wheel is not without it's uses as a
public educator in a mathematical way
and as of benefit in exciting mental ac-
tivity in devising a system to beat the
machine. Some men and communities
get comfort from very little things. An

a Denver sport who is willing to go
down to the enterprising town to teach
the high rollers In society how to play
golf. Generally only people of leisure

cred as having it, play golf, and blow
themselves in on the hundred and one
things which go to make up a complete
outfit for the sport. The list published
of members of the club desiring the

names Of railway presidents. bank
cashiers, and men of that sort Of bust
ness standing. 1t would look like the
club would be blooded enough to buy a
ticket for it's trainer, or else let him
chase a ball from Denver down the

railway people has led to a request for
transportation on the ground that If
golf be established as the game of the

new MEXICO'S TRUE POSITION.
The People Are Tired Of Individual Inter-
ests Preventing Statehood.
(Cham,a Trlbune.)

The people of New Mexico have so
long discussed statehood, 80 long hoped
and prayed in vain for a departure
from territorial government, that the
world at large must indeed be curious
to know why our people are not capable
or deserving of recognition by the sis
terhood of states.
why is New Mexico denied state
hood?" is a question which has been
asked many times at home and abroad.
1t is doubtful that a true answer has
ever been given to u friends abroad.
The truth is known to many through
out the broad expanse of the territory
it is simple and may be told in a few
words. On every occasion when an eff
fort has been made to unite the people
on a demand for statehood one OF more
leaders of one or the other political par
ty have not been ready to depart from
territorial rule until they could feel as
sured of power to dictate the political
status and to control the organization
of a new state.
The people of New Mexico have be-
come impatient with the chickering's Of
indi viduals whose political convictions
are shaped and governed by greed for
gain. For years large elements of the
people We're effectually misled and de-
ceived by politicians who have shame

of the civilized world as embracing a
people incapable Of statehood. The re-
ligion of a goodly people has been at
tackled for subterfuge, and the loyalty
shone> upon, has been questioned. Men
in high place, paralyzed by political
cowardice, have met these unjust i'm
putations with lips scaled and hands
down.
These are facts and conditions which
the Tribune does not believe the people
of New Mexico are In a mood to suffer
longer. When the common country re-
Gently called for men at arms, no heart
Ter response was met than that made by
New Mexico, and that response was not
made by one class or creed alone, but
by citizens of all convictions and condi-
lions.
Has not u citizenship been dwarfed
long enough to broaden the field OF pos
sibilities for those who seek to accom-
plish but selfish ends? Has not the
progress of our infant Industries been
retarded and stinted long enough
through being regarded as a people I'M
worthy of statehood?
BY being robbed of the enjoyment of
a confidence which our people justly
merit, we have been deprived of the in
vestment Of millions Of dollars in our
vast and varied resources. The train of
capital has hurried OF through our ter
ritory, the capitalist observing: Be
hold, a magnificent expanse Of rich and
diversified resources-but alas, the peo-
pie are incapable Of statehood"
There should be no further delay of a
general understanding why New Mex
leo has been refused the garb Of state
hood, and there should not be further
unnecessary delay in the matter OF
making New Mexico a state.
Down with trickery! Let us have an
honest deal.

HARMONY.


Never before in the history of New
Mexico was the Republican party of the
territory so united as at present. In the
past factions divided the party, and in
many instances led to Democratic vic
tories. Republican prosperity has
changed all this. A stranger might in
fer from articles that appear in some
of the Democratic papers that the Re-
publicans of the territory are engaged
in a life and death struggle among
themselves. If there is such a fight go
ing on a good many Republicans are
ignorant of it. There are, to be sure, a
few m~alcontents who are trying to stir
up trouble in the hope Of forwarding
their individual interests, but they have
no influence outside of Democratic edi-
torial rooms.-People VIII may keel
their ears to the ground as the result
Of the Examinations of these sore in
dividuals will be putting in their time
to very poor advantage.

have of late constructed sewers or
planned to do so. Nothing is more clear
ly shown by statistics and experience
than that such sanitary arrangements
preserve the public health. While the
result may not always be visible in
towns which were never subject to ep-

and a general improvement when the
people are relieved by sewers from
breathing contaminated, poisonous air.
