DEMAND FOR THEM CONSTANTLY
ON INCREASE.
THOSE WHO CWN THEM
Evolution OF Luxury in Travel De-
clared TO be Legitimate-Used
for Transaction Of Business
Special Trains are Coming in
Next.

This is the day of the private car,
says the Chicago Tribune. Not neces-
sarily the private car Of state, but the
private car of business necessity, of
convenience and of company comforts.
For years the presidents of great
railroad companies have had their
private cars as a matter of course.
Then the heads of some of the great
manufacturing corporations found
them necessary. Finally 1t became a
fashion for almost anyone having
money enough to seek privacy in
special cars. Theatrical stars used
them, opera singers affected them
more than any other class; then the
millionaire's family sought the sea
side in them, and finally II has come
about that an ordinary pleasure party
touring a section of the United States
may have It's special car or it's special
train in all the state that exclusive
ness stands for. The present season
has marked the building of an unusual
ly large number of private cars.
The evolution of the private cal
seems to have been wholly legitimate
however. The need of the first one
used by the president of some great
railway system, came about when Of
ficials of the company found it nee
essary to go from place to place, TAX
ing with them the clerical help and
paraphernalia of Office. In this cal
the official could go anywhere on the
line and yet transact business as If he
were at headquarters. He had his
library, his secretary, his desk, his
kitchen, his cook. his bedroom, Office
and lounging room, and he need moi
leave his car II he did not choose. He
could work while the car was running
40 miles an hour, and he saved time
and trouble and worry of packing and
carting baggage. And, saving time
he saved money.
In many quarters the lay public IS
not ready to recognize the necessity OF
the private car to great corporations.
1t Is forgetful Of the fact that many Of
these corporations have so branched
out in volume of business that their
heads must travel in its interest. The
man has private car just as he has
private office, and for the same reason
that he may transact confidential
business there. Without the car the
time occupied in travelling would be
lost time; with it, the business goes
on as usual. II is an outgrowth Of

EXCELLENT IN WOMAN.

love. Of course, other charms must
play their part, but the voice may
be determining factor So we can
we'll understand the significance OF
King Lears eulogy, wherein he
says:
! Her voice was ever soft,
/ Gentle and low-an excellent thing
in woman
Many observers have long deplor
ed the lack of beauty in the CONVEX
sational tones of American women
| or the masses. In the comfortable
and cultured classes the criticism
no longer holds as 1ully as & did a
generation or two ago, for it is now
part of every rational system OF
female education to train the voice
to proper meditation in speaking
But there is yet great need of genel-
al Improvement in this particular.
OF course, the masculine sex is not
altogether exempt from this need,
though in its strident mode of speak
ing there is less chance for differen-
tiation of tones.
1t has been surmised that climate
has much to do with vocal habit,
but this is probably true only in a
very limited degree. The nasal
twang of New England and the soft
accents of the South contrast very
strongly; but explanations of the
difference may readily be found in
feredity and in habit transmitted
from parents to children through
long years of example. The nasality
of tones and the monotony of inflcc
ton Of the descendants of the early
New Englanders is derived un-
questionably from the Puritans, who
were artiicially solemn both in man
ners and speech. The parts of the
country in which the more natural
use Of the voice may be observed
were chiefly under the influence in
the early days of the cavaliers or of
the Huguenots-

women of the future may be induced
while yet young to cultivate the nat
ural variations of voice in speaking.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public. as a rule. is to blame
for many of the errors that creep into
the management of public schools.
In the first place parents do not take
sufficient interest in school affairs.
They permit their children to go to
school year in and out without even
visiting the schools to ascertain the
progress being made and If the teach
res are getting everything they should
out of their pupils. If there was
closer communion between parents,
instructors and pupils, many advan-
tages would accrue, and above all,
when anything gees wrong If the par
ents would only go to the school and
talk the matter over with the teach
er or superintendent we believe that
nine out of ten disagreements would
be amicably settled to the mutual
benefit of those directly concerned
and the public generally.
There are some people whose am
bition in life, however, is to cause
friction and rather than go to the
fountain head and take up some tri-
vial affair. it is their pleasure to
stand on the street corners and with
loud aclaim make it appear the
schools are in terrible condition. AS
we have stated in previous issues,
The Herald is justly proud of Du-
rango schools. They have a reputa-
ton for efficiency in this direction
all over the state and many families
locate here on accout of educational
advantages This being the case we
are 10th to smirch the record, al

forts are being made in this direction
by few people and because the edi-
tor. of the morning paper cannot die

ent he is willing to ruin Durango's

Investigation and do little thinking

are concerned, Prof Downs has filled
the office of superintendent of schools
of this city very acceptably, but If
there is anything in which he is lack

best interests of the school, The Her
aid will insist that he correct the
evil the same as his bitterest oppon-
ent. In fact. we will insist on
this much quicker because those who
go about the streets deriding him
and his methods do not want reforma

1t suits their purpose best

nomy in conduct of district affairs by

ADDITIONS TO THE NAVY

Tho naval appropriations bill com
pleted by the house committee on
naval affairs follows the general pol
icy of a well balanced development
of the naval establishment which was
iinaugurated under Secretary Chand-
Ter and has been consistently adher-
ed to ever since.
In conformity with this policy 1t
provides for the addition of two bat
tie ships of 10000 tons displacement,
to cost "a 4,212,000 each; two armored
cruisers of 14,50O ons displacement,
to cost exclusive of armor and arma-
ment, 81 .659 900 each. and two gun
boats of 900 tons each, to cost $685.
900 each. The interesting feature
of this addition to our naval estab-
lishment is the fact that the two new
battleships will be the largest ever
authorized for the American navy.
and among the largest war ships
anoat. The armored cruisers will
also be exceptionally large for their
class, exceeding the Brooklyn or New
York in tonnage.
1t was inevitable that the bill
agreed upon should represent a com
promise between the views of those
who adhere to the belief that the ma
val battles of the future. as in the
past will be fought and decided by
ships of the line and those who
contend that the military exigencies
of the future will demand the fleet
est armored cruisers as the most eff
fective marine fighters. 1t Is per-
haps most fortunate for the maritime
interest of the nation that the sharp
conflict of these two interests has re-
suited in the gradual development OF
