A War With China

A war with China would prove very
popular in Europe, and even in Amer
lea. The recruiting officers at Denver
state that they could raise an army of
100. 900 men to go to China with greater
ease than they "a persuade 100 men
to go to the Philippines. In every regi-
ment in Germany scores of men have
offered themselves as volunteers, and
the number of civilians willing to go to
China is increasing hourly. This seems
to be due to an impression that a war
with China would be nothing more than
a pleasant picnic excursion. But physi-
clans say that the climate of China is
more trying than hat of the Philip
pines, and that a war in that country
will demand men of extraordinary
health and of a very robust constitu-
ton. If the Chinese nation is aroused it
Will not be an easy matter to defeat it,
for there are 400, 600, 900 of Chinese, and
If one army is defeated a dozen more
armies will spring up to take its place.

The Filipinos realize the hopelessness
Of their struggle. They apparently have
relinquished the hope that Colonel Bry-
an will be elected, for last week the
leading insurgents held a convention
and adopted peace proposals that APP
proach the conditions upon which the
Americans are willing to treat with the
rebels. The amnesty declared by Gen
eral Macarthur has had a good effect,
and by the time the November election
approaches the last ember Of the insur-
rection will have died. Thus the Dem
ocrats are robbed of the last Of their
campaign arguments.

The Prohibitionists intend to make
the national fight on a straight prohi-
bition platform, without any deliver
ances on the questions of the day. That
Is to catch votes in all parties, but will
certainly prove very unsuccessful as fa1
as vote getting is concerned. Vital
questions Of more Importance than pro-
hibition are engaging the attention of
the country, and the great majority of
voters will deem an expression of opin-
ion on these of more immediate concern
than prohibition. The suppression of the
whisky traffic will never come through
the efforts of a separate party, but
through the awakened conscience of
n of the great parties. Prohibitionists
a do more good by staying within
party ranks to awaken that conscience
by holding aloof and throwing
away their votes on a ticket that has
the remotest chance of being elect

Assessed Valuations,

The county commissioners of differ.
ent counties in New Mexico are doing
good work by raising the assessments
on various properties throughout the
territory which could not be bought in
the open market for ten times the
amount at which they are assessed. 1t
Is a notorious fact hat the assessed
valuation of New Mexico is not one-
half of what it should be, and there is
more than one county in the territory
the taxable property in which could not
be bought for the total assessed valua-
ton Of the territory. 1t is right that
the county commissioners are beginning
to look more carefully over the assess
ment values returned by the assessors.
Care should, however, be taken that no
discrimination Is shown against or for
any one If New Mexico counties once
determine to assess all property at it's
true value, then the tax rate will be
lowered considerably, the county funds
will be in far better condition, and for
eign capital will be encouraged to in
vest by the lower tax rate. A Just val
uation Is no burden to the property
owner, for If no discrimination is made
he knows that he pays no more taxes
than he would If all properties are as
sessed at only one-tenth of their value,
for the tax rate will be correspondlngly
and by encouraging foreign cap
ital in that name more will be added
to the taxable value of the county. The
for just tax valuations
extend aver the whole territory, |
so that the honest counties do not suf-
fer on account of the laxity in other
counties.

One of the Denver papers saws that
the weather in Colorado has peer al

Santa Fe, where the weather at this
time is very pleasant indeed, and
though it is cooler thar Denver in sum-
mer, yet it is milder in winter. The
world, through the efforts of the bureau
OF immigration, the New Mexican and
other means, is gradually learning this,
and the stream Of tourists and health
seekers that formerly went to Colorado
Is finding its way to this territory.

Colonel Bryan comes out with a state

nos have rights identical with those of
the Cubans as far as the United States
is concerned. This may be so, but the
Cubans are not opposing the authority
of this country. The rebel Tagals have
thus far prevented an expression of

He is then taken home. The cabman

special services, and the entire bill is
presented to the landlord of the estab-

the last glass that did the business. In
consequence, drunken men are few and
