EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is getting to be a serious question what is to become of the men, women are displacing in the schools, the col leges and in many lines of business. What are they to do in a generation or so?
 Prominent democrats continue to come out in favor of expansion. That white republican party in the south may be a reality in the uext presiden- tial campaign.
 The balance of trade in favor of the United States for the past fiscal year amounts to S675,OOO,OOO. Does any one in his senses believe itwould have been this if Mir. Bryan had been elected?
 The bucking automobile is an old story, but Prof. Porter, of Lafayette college, had an experience with au automobile that turned a somersault and scalded him. This sort of thing is what prevents the addition of an automobile to our outfit.
 The new Kansas law, authorizing county attorneys to summon and ex- anime witnesses as to their knowledge of violations of the liquor law, has been declared unconstitutional.
 Within two years practically all the Indians will have become citizens of the United States; and the Indian Territory will have been distributed in severalty; and the growing incur sion of white men into the tribes will be brought to an end.
 Uncle Sam ends the fiscal year with some 100000 surplus to his credit 1 for the twelve months. Considering that war expenses have been going ou pretty steadily, the old boy has the right to congratulate himself.
 An Indiana lawyer. who was a can didate for the democratic nomination for governor of that state, committed suicide the other day, leaving a note ascribing as his reason for the act that his life had been a failure. Of course the fact that he was a demo- crat has no special significance, al- though from a political standpoint it does seem that the lives of a great many democrats are failures. But if every individual whose life is a fail ure, politics left out, takes it into his head to commit suicide what an alarming death rate there would be in this country. The real successes ef life are very few and far between, judged from any standpoint, and it is only through the eternal main spring of hope that man is impelled onward. When that main spring breaks the machine becomes worthless. A professor declares that he can turn negroes white by injections of "leucitis'-a a substance which checks the deposit of the dark pigment. Here's your chance, brethren. Why doesn't Europe solve the problem by asking to be annexed to the United States7

 COMPANY
Will Develop Oil Fields Near Gallnp, New Mexico Splendid Showing for the 0leaginOus Precinct.
Most Promising Indications for Success and a Thoroughly Business Like Proposition Offered to Investors.

Rev. G. H. Adams, who has been in Prescott for several days, is interested in the Gilt-Edged Land and Oil com dany, a corporation just organized under the laws of New Mexico for the purpose of developing some oil lands near. Gallup, in that territory.
 Prospecting for oil is already in progress in that section, but the land owned by the above company is said to be the cream of it all, so far as sur face indications go.
 Mir. Adams has a sample of pure asphaltum, taken from the land of the company and of which there is almost an unlimited quantity on it, and has also small bottle of oil taken from the land.
 All the indications point to the existence of oil and at not very great depth from the surface.
 The company owns 10,30O acres, and has it all paid for and does not owe a cent for any purpose, and 1t Is proposed now to offer a small block of the stock for sale to raise money to sink well. The company also pro poses to operate on different financial lines from very many companies and which adds to the security of stock holders and to the gilt edgedness of the company. They do not propose to take chances of getting a well down few hundred feet and then get stranded for the want of money to finish it, but propose to secure sub scriptions amounting to 75,OOO shares before asking for or taking any money from subscribersand before commenc- ing work. This will give them over S10OOO, or ample funds to sink well to depth of over 1000 feet, and it is not expected that they will have to go to such a great depth before they strike oil.
 This is one of the most fattering propositions in the way of stock offers that has been presented to investors of this section. Itwas so fiattering in fact that one of the most conservative and successful financiers of the terri tory this morning made subscription of 10000 shares as a starter to the list. The first block of the stock is offered at 15 cents per share.

the mill, and there are tons of ore standing in the stopes ready to be taken down. This property is going to be a record breaker ere many months pass. The most interesting piece of work at the mines during she past week was the further develop ment of the spring, which proved very satisfactory, more than doubling the supply of water and settling the water question for all time. "A drits was run in on the ledge from which the water comes, and from the face of the drift the water spouts out in sey- eral places, and all the tanks at the mill are full to overhowing at all times now. The music of pounding stamps makes this camp an interest ing one to visit, and the piles of rich ore to be seen everywhere gives tone of prosperity to the property which must be very gratifying to the own CTS. Development will make this mine great producer.-News.

The Third Term President.

This is the question that has been
discussed very earnestly by our polit-
ical leaders during the past few
months. Some claim it would be a
wise move. while others claim that to
break the old two term tradition"
would result disastrously. In private
life. however. there is a more import
ant question under consideration, and
that is the best way to regain health.
If you suffer from indigestion, dys-
pepsia, billiousness or liver or kidney
troubles, there is medicine that will
restore your health, and that is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. For fifty
years 1t has been recognized as the
best stomach strengthener and health
builder in the world. It will tone up
the system and induce sound sleep.
Be sure to try 1t.
