Annual Report Of the Secretary Of War.

The annual report of the secretary of
war, Elihu Root, is a review of the nil
itary operations of the United States in
China and in the Philippines, as we'll as
a report on the government of Cube.
the Philippines and Porto Rico under
Military auspices. In those respects it
is a historic document, giving a reliable
and concise history of events of the
past fiscal year.. in the shaping of which
the war department had a hand. AS an
appendix, the document has General
Chaffee's report of operations in China,
Glneral MacArthur's report of the cam
paigns in the Philippines, a report on
education and charitable institutions in
Cuba, and other data showing the on
prehensive scope of the operations Of
the war department. Mr.. Root IS an
IDEAL secretary of war, and gives In in
stance of a civilian successfully manag-
iu5 the affairs of a department which
has proved a stumbling block to more
than one military man 1t requires eX"
ability of more than the cH1i-
nary kind to conduct not only the OPP
erations of over 10000 men in distant
fields, but also to solve the many prob
lens of administration and business
which are a part of the duties of the
war department.

Teaching History.

The school histories used in the pub
lie schools recently have been made tic
subject of a good deal of criticism.
Southern people maintain that the
school histories in use in northern
schools are unfair to the south; Grand
Army men have made a simila" asser-
ton not only of the histories used in
the south, asserting that they We're
just to the northern soldiers. but also
of many histories used in northern
schools. Other critics assert that the
school children are taught the non-es-
sential facts in American history while
more important events are not even
mentioned or else dismissed with a few
words. The Chicago Inter-Ocean this
week finds fault because Channing's
Student History says that "The great
successes of the American people have
been won in the fields of peace, not
those of war. The men who have given
the United States it's foremost place
and its leaders in politics, it's inventors
and it's captains of industry, it's mas
tiers of literature, of science and of edu-
cation On the other hand some critics
say that children are made b%loodthirsty
by the tales of blood and carnage found
in American history and that they are
taught to overvalue the military heroes
of the nation at the expense of those
who have achieved triumph in the arts
of peace.
That all these criticisms are to a GER
tain extent idle is evident. The prime
object In teaching history is to instil
patriotism in the youthful mind. That
can be done by teaching the deeds of
America on the battlefields as well as
telling of the triumphs of peace, by
dwelling on the valor of the north as
well as on the bravery of the south. Tn
later years. the pupil will read more ex-
tensively in American history If he is
inclined to learn more about his nation,
and it is only by extensive reading that
a person can form any just conclusions
as to events and men.

Absolutely, the New Mexican sees 70
reason for the acrimonious discussion
that has been going on concerning the
appointment of Hon. SilaS Alexander -
associate justice and the Withdrawal Of
the same. There was evidently a mis-
take, and it was corrected, and that is
all there was of it. The statement that
charges We're made against Mr.. AleXan-
der by prominent Republicans in Santa
Fe or elsewhere is moonshine of the
first quality. No such thing happened
as far as the New Mexican knows. Six
weeks ago the New Mexican received
information from Washington that
Judge Mcmillan would be appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Judge Leland. This information
came from a reliable source, and the
New Mexican at the time thought it
was correct, When Mr.. AleXander's
name was sent in the New Mexican be-
lieved if was through inadvertence, as
the press dispatches thereafter stated.
Results show that the New Mexican
was correct. This is the explanation of
the matter, as it actually occurred, and
that is all there is to it.

Several of the counties Of New Mex
leo are burdened with debts, the lega-
cies of former NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or

Some means should be found to adj

can be reasonably expected to pay, AS
it is. those counties so deeper into debt
every year, and unless the creditors are
willing to compromise now they may in

Should be Stopped.

Last week some Albuquerque corre-
spondent sent out a redhot dispatch to
the Denver Republican, bowling that
bloody, bleeding war was about to
break out near Sais' trading store on
the Navajo reservation between a lot
of bloodthirsty, wild and woolly Nava-
JOS and a big assembly Of vindictive,
well-armed and determined Mexicans.
The thing was q fake. The Navajos
want no fights, neither do the citizens
of this territory living near the reserva-
ton. There are no MeXicans living near
the Navajo reservation. There ara citi-

Governor Otero's annual report to the
secretary Of the interior, as will be seen
by the synopsis given in the annual re-
port of the secretary of the interior, is
a very comprehensive document. 1t will
be wen more valuable than the report
of last year in advertising New Mexico
and setting it right before the wO"ld.
Whatever may have been said against
mics, they must acknowledge, If they
are honest, that he is untiring in work"
ing for the territory and its interests,
ard never allows an opportunity to slip
by to say something good for the terri
lnNN and its nnOnle.

those settlers who, as well as their an
cestors for untold generations, have de-
rived a large share of their living from
grazing their 1locks and herds upon
these arid mountain ranges, and from
which they are now barred. The rapid
transformation of the Indian tribes of
the territory from semibarbarism to a
reasonable degree of civilization is COM
mented on; for years, he states, there
has been no Indian disturbances, and
their advancement in all the walks of
a higher life is marked to an encourage
ing degree.
CLIMATE AND HEALTH.
An interesting chapter in the report is
devoted to the thermal springs of New
Mexico, of which there are a great va
riety, both hot and cold, in many sec
tons of the territory. Much space is al
so given to the public health, the re-
markable %salubrity of the climate of
New Mexico. and its effect upon tuber-
culosis and kindred diseases. The fact
that the federal government has in so
far officially recognized the superiority
of this territory's natural climatic con-
ditions, an important element of wealth
in itself, by establishing government
sanitariums for the sick of its military
and naval branches at Forts Bayard
and Stanton respectively, is referred to
by the governor in commendatoTy
terms. Several large private SANTA
RUINS are conducted at various points
throughout the territory, and many re-
coveries of patients suffering from con-
sumption, through the effects of the
pure air, altitude and sunshine, without
the use of medicine or drugs, are re-
ported.
CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
Detailed reports are given of the stat
us of the various elemosynary institu-
tons of the territory, which show New
Mexico to be in this respect fully
abreast of the spirit of the times. The
moral and social status of the territory
is reported as excellent, and the vast
amount of data presented regarding the
operations of the judicial arm of the
territorial government indicates the
general good order prevailing through
out the year., and the utmost security

The union photographers on the Santa

out on a strike as long as the company
was willing to arbitrate any and all diff
fprences that have arisen in the dispute
between it and its employees. The Santa

and is considerable in dealing with them,
and for the men to walk out without
warning or notice was a breach of good
faith which they are bound to regret.

COURT OF PRIVATE LAND CLAIMS
AS a result of the work of the United
States court of private land claims. UNI
told goOd has come to New Mexico in
the final settlement of land titles. While
numerous grant claims have been APP
proved and confirmed to private owner
ship, at the same time some millions of
acres hitherto claimed as grants have
been refused confirmation and declared
public domain and opened to entry UNI
der the land laws. No inconsiderable
part of such lands is rich in timber,
water, and coal and other minerals.
During the recent term of this court,
out of 716,442 acres involved, but 10,907
acres were found to comprise valid
grants. and 705, 535 acres were rejected
as grant Lame and added to the public
offices in the territory nearly SOC, 900
acres were filed pom under the various
land laws during the year ending with
the date of this report-an increase of

LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.
The live stock industry is in a flour
ishing condition. No business offers
more profitable returns than does sheep
raising and wool growing in New Mex
leo. There has been vast Improvement
in the focks in recent years: the wool
grown is of a diversified character,
scaling all the way from the finest De-
laine-Merino to the coarsest carpet,
though the latter is becoming less each
year. Practically half the wool clip, it
is said, is profit to the grower. The to-
tai clip for New Mexico for the veal is
upward of 49, 900, 900 pounds. The num-
Der of sheep in the territory is estimat-
ed to be over 4 1000, 900. The vast produc,
ton of wool has resulted in the estab-
lishment of other industries, such as
w~ool-scouring and wool-pulling plants
and tanneries in various parts of the
territory.

FOREST RESERVES.

There are in the territory two forest
reserves; one on the Pecos River in the
northern part, and ONE on the ella Riv-
err in the southwestern part, comprising
5, 701 ,O40 acres. This is a magnificent do
main. as large as the states of Rhode
Island, Delaware, and one-half of Con-
necticut combined, For timber and
grazing these tracts are most desirable,
and along the streams are splendid ag-
ricultural lands. The governor ex-
presses the opinion that New Mexico
has lost heavily in prospective growth
and wealth by the segregation of this
vast empire from the public domain. He
admits the correctness Of the principle
that the preservation of the forests at
the headwaters of streams throughout
the west protects the water supply In
the valleys, but contends that all such
benefits can be secured by reducing the
area in these reserves, and without un-
restrictions or total prohibit
ton Of grazing thereon. The governor
takes issue with the theory that graz
ing these lands destroys the timber, and
makes an earnest appeal In behalf Of
