OUR SCHOOL HOUSES.


A Acotemporary remarks that trying
to run a school without a library is
very much like trying Go run fact
ory or farm without the necessary
tools. We have no statistics at
hand so show in how many schools
IN this county libraries have been
established The act of 1895 pro
vides method by which directors
may establish free public libraries
levy tax, not to exceed one mill to
provide them with books, and de
vote part of the school houses for
their reception. Were the provisions
of this act adopted all over, school
houses might be provided, in a mod
est way, with small library which
would no doubt prove of great
benefit to the scholars and enable
teachers to dc far better work. BY
having access to books children
might be taught to use them for re-
ference and a spirit of reading might
also be inculcated. Many homes
are deficient in interesting books
and the children grow up without
the opportunity of reading even
though they have the inclination.
Directors can easily correct this de-
ficiency and at a trifling cost which
will not be burdensome to the tax.
payer. Then, too, more care should
be taken with the houses and
grounds. If child is pleasantly
surrounded it naturally, with the
promptings of the teacher, enters
into the spirit of neatness and order
its mind becomes impressed with
certain facts regarding these ad-
juncts and its whole life habits may
be changed. Take a school house
with dirty floor, perhaps Uttered
with paper, bare, unsightly walls
without print or a picture to re-
lieve the monotony, no arrangement
by which the hands or faces of the
children may be kept clean, outside
brush and briars growing over the
grounds the outbuildings shabby and
diIapidated, the whole place ev-
idencing neglect and disorder and
incarcerate child for seven hours
a day for months in such a place
and its mind necessarily inhales the
essence of the surroundings. 1t be-
comes indifferent to appearances,
slip shod in manner, disorderly in
habits and lays lasting foundation
of slovenly, careless habits with a
disregard both as to its personal ap-
pearance and outward evidences of
care or thought This is not eduoa-
ting the child to become an orna-
ment to the community or a credit
to itself. It is in fact no educa-
ton at all and reflects seriously on
those who have control of these
matters. Take cheerful room
whore neatness and order prevails
with we'll kept ptgroundsand buildings
and the child perforce becomes ac-
customed to such situations and
makes an effort to maintain them.
The mind drinks in the purity and
freshness and they become a part of
the childs nature educating it for
happiness and usefulness in after
life.

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-09-12
Another Democratic Campaign Argument.

Another campaign argument for the
Democrats! New Mexico has fallen into
the hands of Imperialism, for will not
three queens reign in different places OF
the territory this month? Albuquerque
has chosen a queen for its fair week;
Pennington has done likewise, and Ros-
we'll intends to do so within the mex
few weeks. 1t must all be blamed upon
the administration this heresy of electing
queens in a republic. 1t is true that the
queens are among the fairest subjects
of the territory, that they will reign
graciousIy and mildly, that their term
of Office is ve,y brief and that they have
been chosen by popular suffrage. That
makes no difference, for anything that
smacks of Imperialism and bears the
name of king or queen, makes the Demo-
cratic burro SHE higher than the moon.
Democrats will probably manifest their
disapprobation of the queen business by
staying away from those fairs and nov
ing out of a country where queens are
chosen, that is they would if they were
as unreasonable in real life as they pre-
tend to be in politics.

cerned, and buffalo meat is strong and
coarse, and not to be compared with
prime beef. The hides are not valuable,
either, because the front is rough and
shaggy and the high part is rather
smooth, like a steers. This variation Of
texture makes it less valuable than beef
hide, and consequently in less demand.
The main argument advanced by
buffalo" Jones in favor of crossing
native cattle with the American bison
was that the buffalo is a more econom-
ical range feeder. The buffalo did not
trample down what grass he did not
eat, as cattle are apt to do, and in con-
sequence the supply of grass vas al
ways plentiful, no matter how large the
herds that roamed the prairies every
year. But this argument loses strength
in view of the fact that the range is
disappearing. There are no more i'm
mense herds of cattle feeding on thou
sands of acres of buffalo grass, as in
early days in the west. The ranchmar
does most of his feeding from the har-
vested crops of alfalfa or hay, and wher
it comes time to fatten for the market
the cattle are shipped to the corr
states.
This evolution in cattle feeding has
taken away the last claim of the buff.
ldlo W survival. IL is ldI1leHldDle Una
the buffalo has been so thoroughly ex-
terminated hat there are few speci.
mems left for museums and preserves
but the great herds of the animals We're
not a necessity to civilization, and il
was only natural that they should have
disappeared, like the Indian, i'm the
march of civilization. Now that the
last claims of the champions of the buff.
falo, from a %utilitarian standpoint, have
been disproved, the quarter-blood an(
half-blood herds will doubtless disap,
pear as quickly as did their full-bloot
predecessors.

There are such frequent indications
of oil in northern New Mexico, near Las
Vegas, at Pennington, at Gallup and
elsewhere, that there is ground for the
hope that some day a great oil field will
be developed in New Mexico. At present
the Standard Oil company does every
thing in its power to prevent the dis
covery of new oil fields, but some day,
when its power is shattered, capital may
be induced to do extensive development
work and exploitation for oil in New
Mexico. The coal fields and petroleum
would make New Mexico a great manu-
featuring state, especially since the raw
material in the shape of iron and other
minerals, as we'll as wool, hides, canalgre
and products of the soil, could be readily
supplied by the home markets.

People who lived at Galveston know
that they took chances of being swept
into the sea any day. The island Of Gal
weston is nothing more than a huge
sand bank with absolutely no protection
from the sea, over which tidal waves
have swept several times in recent years.
Yet, Galveston was q rapidly growing
city. 1t is strange that people prefer to
live at places exposed to wind, sea and
weather, having an unhealthy climate,
and in constant danger of being swept
into the sea, while towns situated in far
clones and the ravages of disease, have
great difficulty in attracting settlers.

There is little comfort for the Demo
Gratis in the result of the Maine election.
The Republican majority is fully 5000
larger than that of 1898. At the same
time, the gain was not large enough to
allow the Republican voters to become
~listless because they already see a ma
tional victory assured in November.
There can be no doubt of President
McKinley's reelection if Republicans do
their duty. The only danger lies in
over-contidence and resultant apathy.

The Talk Of a Demagogue.

Senator Teller in a speech at Denver
this week said: "The election of q few
more Republican presidents will ulti-
mately destroy the government 1t is
with bald statements of that nature that
intelligent citizens are to be frightened
into the Bryanite ranks. An assertion
of that kind is an insult to the people of
the United States; is is a SANDER upon
the founders of the republic. 1t means
to say that the great majority of the peo-
pie of this nation are working toward
the destruction of this government either
out of ignorance or out of righteousness;
it means to say that Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield belonged to a party whose OBJ
ject is the establishment of an empire.
History proves different; the present ad-
ministratiOn proves otherwise; President
Mckinley has devoted his talents, his
life, to the service of the republic. He
was found in the front ranks in the war
that vas fought to preserve this repub-
lie, he has ever been advocating policies
that tended to greater liberty, and to
the greater prosperity of the nation. A
man who dares to assert that any of the
great political parties are working to-
ward the destruction of the republic is a
man without Judgment OF a nan who
car not tell the truth. No matter who
is elected president this fall the republic
is safe; it is built upon such solid foun-
dations that it can not perish; the thirty
two years of Republican administration
since 1860 have forever placed 1t beyond
the possibility of ever being anything
else than a republic. A Democratic ad-
ministratlon may bring a panic, it may
bring hard times, it may bring interna-
tional humiliation, but it would not nor
does it desire to destroy the republic.
Much less a Republican ad nlnistration
which would bring continued prosperity,
growth and progress, and which is a
successor OF eight previous administra-
tions that have successfully worked to
establish the republic upon a firmer
even than the fathers laid
for IL. Senator Teller deserves to be
hooted out of the country If he really
said and mean that there is any danger
10 the republic Ia the election of a Re-
president. '

Taos intends to have a great time on
San Geronimo day and for two days
after. Though a considerable distance
away from the railroad the town deserves
to have large crowds upon the occasion,
for the festival has been widely adver-
tised and Taos people are very hospitabIe.
The Taos valley is a little paradise in
itself and the scenery round about is
grand and inspiring. Those who have
the time and the means should attend
the festival, for they will see sights and
carry tway with them impressions that
will ever be a pleasant memory.

Contagious
Blood Poison,
Chronic WcerS-

institute proceedings in the federal
courts, and Colorado people fear that
through misinformation on the part of
the courts concerning the practical side
of irrigation, great injury may be done
the entire irrigation system in an at
tempt to apply to it the doctrine of ri
parian rights or some other doctrine of
the common law which arose under con-
ditiOns radically different from those
that prevail in an irrigated region.
Expressions Of this fear concerning
what poorly informed federal courts
and officers of the department of JUS
tice may do have been interpreted to
apply to the action of every branch of
the federal government in relation to
irrigation.
AS a matter of fact the people of this
section appreciate more highly, proba-
bly,, than the inhabitants of any other
parts of the Union the Importance and
the value of the Investigations that the
geological survey is making in regard
to the physical facts of irrigation. In
the same way they set a high value up
on the Investigations that the depart
ment of. agriculture is making under
the leadership of Mr.. Elwood Mead, OF
Wyoming.
The progress of irrigation, especially
in a state like Colorado, where the linn
it's of old methods have about beer
reached, depends in a great degree up
on the extent to which available water
may be stored in reservoirs. 1t is OBJ
vious that the facts concerning the
practicability of constructing reser-
voirs that would achieve the desired
purpose can be better obtained by the
] geological survey than by any other di-
| vision or bureau of the government
state or national. The state of Colora-
do a not the means with which tC
conduct q survey or investigation OF
that kind, and it cannot be done by
private enterprise. If not done by the
federal government it will be neglected
The members of the geological survey
will be welcomed if they come to Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, and it will be
disappointing if Secretary Hitchcock, OF
the department of the interior, does MOI
provide work Upon an extensive SCALE
to be done in this section. In no othel
part can such a Survey be made under
conditions more favorable and instruct.
i've in reference to it's prosecution in
other parts of the arid region, for no.
where else has irrigation directly from
streams been so highly developed as ir
Colorado and New Mexico. Information
obtained here would, therefore, be more
valuable in relation to the investiga.
tons to be made in all the arid states
than that which might at this stage bt
obtained elsewhere. 1t is in Colorado
and New Mexico that the geological
' survey should make it's first complete
investigation.
