The most important duty Of any po-
lice force is the control of the yagrant
and criminal classes and the proven
lion Of crimes against person aud prop
erty. There are many other ana i'm
portant fields of usefulness but unless
the force is successful in dealing with
crime il is a failure. As a deterrent
OF crime, nothing Is probably
more effective than swift and
sure punishment, writes Andrew
d. Avery In the Cosmopolitan.
In England a murder trial is com
pieted within feW weeks, or months
lat the outside, after the apprehen-
sien Of the accused, a1ld from the first
trial there Is no appeal TO higher
court Of review Ct appeal The wis
dom Of permitting no appeal ia cap
ttal cases Is a question which has been
widely discussed and cannot be taken
up here. Whether wise and humane
or not, it is interesting to note that
the police records show an astonish-
ingly small humber OF murders in
London, ana l believe that the celebrity
with which the trials are conducted
has much TO do with tie suppression
Of this most heinous OF all crimes
According to the Official report Of tho
commissioner of the metropolitan po-
lice, there We're reported TO The London
police only twenty.fouf murders IN the
calendar year 1901, and this out Of a
population Of over 100000.

Health and Beauty Hints,

Don't tip the shoulders from side to
side when walking 1t is an exceed
ingly ungraceful habit.
Don't bend forward when walking
but hold the body erect, with the chest
well arched and the hips thrown back
Don't bend over double when ascend
Ing a flight OF stairs. Give the lungs
full play, for you need plenty OF
breath.
Never fail to consult an oculist il
you find that your eyeslght is growing
dim, or hesitate to wear glasses If you
need them.
Never fail to wash the eyes every
night before retiring, so as to remove
any dust that may have gathered in
the lids during the day.
Don't wear shoes run down at the
heels and don't wear high-heeled and
nawow-toed shoes They are the in
veterate enemies of grace
Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth, for it brings a whole train of
evils In its wake. Have 1t removed
by dentist at least twice a year.
Don't use a tooth powder which con-
tains gritty, acid or irritating sub
stances, as the first two act injuriously
on the teeth and the last or the gums.
Don't use one side of the mouth only
when eating, for then the teeth have
not all the same amount OF exercise,
aud decay sets in more rapidly on one
side than the other
Don't fail to remember this rule
that In walking you should carry your
SELF SO that plumb line, dropped from
your nose. would fail just an inch in
front of your great toe
DO not allow an infant to turn
round that It may enjoy the fun OF

Accompanying a photo of the Nor

well written article on New Mexico, in
the National Magazine for March 1t is
from the pen of DIR. e. A. Winship
written while that gentleman was in
Las Vegas last Christmas, ans is as un'
based and true, as was the Beverage
report the ver He says:
1t Is possible that talk of statehood
may, for the first time in a quarter OF
a millennium. interest English-Ameri'
can in Mexican-American citizens.
The statehood proposition is certain
to give a few citizens of the East and
middle West paroxysms closely akin to
those enjoyed by anti-Imperialists
over the Filipinos.
Whether statehood for New Mexico

Dental election, or ten years hence.
is of slight concern, except to Office
holders and o~fice-seekers, but 1t will
come before the people of the United
States have an intelligent appreciation
of their new sister. even if the cam
paign of enlightenment should begin
to-day.
1 am writing on this lovely "Chrees-
mus" day of 1902 on the broad veranda
of the Castaneda in the mellow rays of
the sun that has scarcely found a
cloud the size of . mans hand in his
last 365 visits to Las Vegas. "Casta-
neda,"-the name, carries us back 450
Years. almost four-score years before
the wee little boulder at Plymouth
dreamed Of fame; back to Castaneda,
the strangely fascinating man whose
letters of 1912. now resting in the in
g sanctuary of the Lenox library Of
New York City, have made Coronado
a traditional hero and a historical
enigma for almost half a millennium.
With the Castaneda letters in ones
thought. it is something more than a
dream to be enjoying the hospitality
Of a twentieth century hotel whose ar
c%hitecture, equipment and cuisine are
of the metropolitan standard.
For nearly a third of a thousand
years New Mexico was under Mexican
rule; for fifty years it has been under
the political rule Of the United States;
FOR ten a 1t has been under in
telligent territorial rule. and while the
most ardent local champion of state
hood will not assent that the territory
from end to end has been trained to
statehood. the most bitter local oppo-
nent Of statehood will not deny that
1t will require but a short time at the
pace Of the past decade to prepare
the territory to join the sisterhood.
BY Inheritance, tradition and Ian
guage, the large majority of the resi-
dents are affiliated with Mexico rather
than the United States. The reason
for this is not to their discredit nor to
the credit of Mexico. but to the dis
credit of the United States.
