her weight in state and national sff sfrs.
This being true, 1t is the duty of every
citizen TO help the enumerators in
every possible way.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
every person should be counted who by
any possibility can be counted in Ell
Paso's population. The utmost vigil
lance on the part of the enumerators
will not suffice to get the lat complete,
unless that vigilance is supplemented
by the volunteer inform alton OF citi-
zens.
II you know of any family or part of
q family that is away at present but
can be reached by mail, notify the
enumer ator, 60 that these people will
get in the census. II you have positive
Information about any absent ones,

we'll repay itself In pride because Of
Ell Paso's good howin0.

AMERICANS are as shrewd in politics
as 10 business. South Dakota affairs
give very good example OF how they
take advantage of every shred of
chance. South Dakota is one of the
very close states, sothe populists, when
they arranged for their convention,
held it in Sioux Falls, rather mac
cessible city but one in whose neigh
borhood there had been q republican
plurality in the campaign of 1896. By
holding their convention in that state
and in that part of the state, Bryan
managers hoped to incline some por-
ton of the doubtful voters to their
side. On the other hand the republic
ans have nominated for governor a
candidate from one of the extreme
northern counties with the hope of in
creasing republication there where
success is not certain.

PULL TOGETHER FOR A MINT.

It is true that there Is q long step
between the Introduction Of Q bill In
congress and the realization of q great
project. The fact that the bill printed
In yesterdays HERALD has been in
troduced into the house does not neces-
sarily mean that Ell Psso will have q
mint Immediately. But this action
upon the part of our representative in
congress is accompanied by 30 many
encouraging features that nothing but
extreme dulness, blind selfshness, or
venomous jealousy could prevent the
complete cooperation of every indivi-
dual and every interest In Ell Paso for
the pushing of this matter to a success
full Issue.
It was somewhat surprising to some
of our people to read in the HERALD
that Mr.. Stephens was going for a
coinage mint. This action may be ex-
planned by the fact that some Of the
best friends of the project, notably
Congressman Shafroth of Colorado,
believe in inauguratiDg a new national
policy with regard to mints, which
shall provide for coinage mints in every
important mining center in the oOun-
try.
Even il Ell Paso does not get q full
coinage mint at this time, the agitation
OF the question in congress will be of
great value to US. The result II our
own people work as they should will
almost certainly mean the establish
Of n oafn
mint.
There are several ways in which we
can meet this question: we may sit in
dolently about and read of the letters
that one or two individuals are sending
and receiving, or each individual Ell
Pasoan who is directly or indirectly
interested in building up the mining
interests of Ell Paso can take the
trouble to write personal letters to our
senators and representatives In con-
gress, to other congressman, and to
Influential personal friends, and pull
every possible wire that will help to
stir up lively interest in favor of the
movement.
During the summer, the chamber OF
commerce should see to il that every
senator and representative, together
with every treasury department and
mint official, is supplied with full infor-
nation as to the mineral resources of
this section and the need for q mint.
If we all pull together in this thing |
now, We can almost certainly have
what we want when congress meets |
again.

AFTER all, the sum total of available
campaign mud is not so very big. The
Nicely case is Cuba, which, scsndalous
as It is, is beinRso severely dealt with
that Its muddiness for campaign pur-
poses is lessened; the ice trust in New
York, the Clark scandal of Montana:
this is about all. We make a great
TODD over our political rottenness, but
admitting every charge, democratic
and repu blican, we yet find ourselves q
fairly clean, respectable and honest ma
ton after all; just rs the average citi-
zen, unrelenting dollar chaser though

SAVE THE KINOER6ARTENS.

Yesterday the women OF the Ell Paso
Woman's club, or q com mittee of them,
called on the members of the school
Gently taken against the public kinder
garten. The women are doing q fine
work in agitating this question, and
ought to have the fullest cooperation
OF the public.
For some unexplained reason, the
school board. after increasing lot of
teachers salaries quite unnecessarily,
took a shot at the kindergarten, ard
unless the action is rescinded that most
excellent department. of the public
schools is likely to lose much or most
of its usefulness. II it was to save ex-
pense it was false economy. If there
was any other reason the school board
owes an explanation to the public.
The kindergarten has been one of the
most popular divisions of the public
schools. So popular had it become last
year, under the splendid direction OF
to divide the kindergarten into two
classes of over fifty each, with two
teachers to each branch. Fifty is too
many for the best work with children,
tenor twelve being a suitable number
for an ideal kindergarten; but of course
public sch cooling can only ap-
proximate the ideal at best. Under
this arrangement the entrance age of
the children remained at five years. %
it had been for some time.
But now the school board propose to
do away with one branch of the kinder
garten, reduce it's size, and limit it's at
tendance. To accomplish this the board
has taken q very unwise course, that of
raising the Kindergarten age from five
to elk. Every mother knows that a
child at six is entirely too old to be
engaged In kindergarten work.
The change in the school age throws
the whole period of schooling SO far
along that most of the children attend
ing the public schools are 80 old by the
time they reach the upper grammar
grades and the high school that they
cannot stay to complete the course.
The aim should be to arrange q
course every pupil can easily complete
during the usual years of schooling.
With this advanced school age the
minimum age az which a pupil could
graduate from the high school would
be eighteen years. 1t is altogether too
late.
1t is to be hoped that the committee
of the Woman's club 30 far accomplished
their mission that the board will re-
consider its action. Our kindergarten
which has become known in more than
one state as one of the best public
in the country, is too

1t is Just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. It is the
gradual progress Of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health in such a way. There is q
little feeling of oppression after eating.
After a time it passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing to
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
of disease of the stomach. They eat in
judiciously, in some cases, and in gen
eral the brain is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home a chronic invalid.
The timely use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such a con-
dition the faithful use of it in chronic
cases will effect complete cure.
