Look 10 the Morm0ns.

The Mormon colony at Ramah, Va
lencia county, seems to be a blot upon
New Mexico that should be obliterated.
Despite efforts of Mormon missionaries
who have poured into New Mexico,
Mormonism has been Spurned by the
people of the territory more generally.
Valencia county is an exception. The
world does not hear much of Ramah,
but what it does suspect is that polyg-
amy is secretly or openly practiced
there. A murder which happened last
week seems to confirm that suspicion,
for it's motive is said to be a Mormon's
jealousy of n of his plural wives. New
Mexico cannot let this imputation of
allowing polygamy within it's borders
rest pom it, and the officers are called
upon to investigate and sift the matter
thoroughly. If the Mormons at Ramah
are a peaceful, law-abiding people the
world should be assured of it, blu if
they practice polygamy and other
crimes against the law of the land the
sooner the colony is transplanted to the
p~enitentiary the better for the reputa-
ton of New Mexico.

MARRIAGE Ideals.

Prof. William G. Sumner, of Yale, an
authority on sociology, by a statement
in regard to marriage recently has
caused much adverse comment. 1t was
alleged that he declared nine of ten
marriages turn out unhappily. What
he did say was: I'm the strictest ems
marriage is an ideal that has never been
realized. Vicissitudes act on and change
the married pair, and not more than 10
per cent of them realize their ideal of
marriage. That is to say, not more
than 10 per cent of married people, look
ing back at the end of their lives, can
honestly say they have realized all the
happiness and all the ideals with which
they began married life"
In the strictest sense the professor is
right. Having high ideals and hopes,
parties to matrimony do not always
find the union unvaryingly true to the
ideals they formed. But neither are the
other ideals of people realized. Nc mar
or woman has ever lived who was not
disappointed in a measure with the
course of life. But to a certain extent
ideals are realized in the lives of most
people as to matrimony and other mat
ters.

The County Debt.

A debt of almost a million dollars up
on a county whose assessed valuation
does no reach two million dollars, at
first glance seems too heavy a burden
to bear. Viewed merely in the light of
present ability to pay, it is. but com
pared with future ability to pay the
burden seems less. Santa Fe county is
in such a position, which to many seems
hopeless. Yet there is a way out of it.
Compromise the debt with the %county's
creditors at the lowest figure they will
accept. Then practice economy. Cut off
all unnecessary expenses; make no new
debts, either county, town or school
debts; create a permanent sinking fund,
and hen set to work to increase the as
sets. The value of much property in the
county to-day is worth ten times
indicate, and this by hard work and
with the proper spirit in a decade or two
can be made worth a hundred times it's
present assessed valuation. There are
counties in eastern states only one-fifth
as large as Santa Fee county, with only
one-tenth of it's natural wealth and re-
sources, which have in ten years in
creased $50, 900, 900 in valuation. Santa
Fe county and its people must put their
hope in the future, make no new debts,
and go to work to make possible the
payment of the old debt.

Utilizing New Mexico Resources.

President c. 3. Eddy, of the Ell Paso
& Northeastern railway, is responsible
for the statement hat Captain mines
are now putting out $50 tons of coal
daily, or twenty cars That product sells
for over $4,000. The output will soon be
doubled. The Southern Pacific railway
alone is paying 100000 weekly for Capt.
tan coal. and will double the quantity
taken as soon as the supply is forth
coming.
The Sacramento mountain branch of
the FL Paso & Northeastern railway is
hauling to the mills at Alamogordo 12o,-
900 feet of timber daily; 5000, 900 fee of
sawed timber is at the mills seasoning.
and much lumber has already gone to
market. The stock on hand must have
a value of 800, 900, and the daily deliv-
cry of logs will give lumber worth 81. 500
to So, 900.
The lumber and coal of
Otero and Lincoln might have gone I'M
touched for another decade but for the
enterprise of Mr.. Eddy. Now they are
being utilized, and the public is bene-
fitted. for 800 men are employed by the
new enterprises of that region. 1t goes
without saying that the companies are
making a handsome thing.
