NEWSPAPERS TOWN BUILDERS

The following editorial from the El
Paso News is applicable in every line
10 Las Vegas as well as to Ell Paso:
"The newspapers made Denver"
said an old-time mining man and pio-
neer in the news columns of this pa
per Sunday, land they a make FL
Paso as large a city"
This is quite a testimonial to the
power Of the press, made by n who
knows the conditions whereof he
speaks. And people who stop and
shink will admit that there is much
of truth in his statement.
The power of the press is often eXag-
gerated, but it is not much exaggera-
ton in this case. No Il can deny
that there is no greater advertising
medium than the modern Gaily news
paper, and no one can deny that adj
vertising plays a large part in the
building up of a city.
What it takes in the southwest to
develop a city more than any other
one thing is the attraction to it OF
outside capital. Most towns in the
southwest have natural advantages
Ell Paso, at least, certainly has more
chan its share, with its unique posi-
fi0n, its vast tributary territory.
What it needs is more money and
more people. Both the money and
the people, to start new enterprises
and new industries, must come on ac'
count of the advertising given the
town.
The duty OF the newspaper in thi;
case is a very clear one Its duty is
to call attention on all possible occas
ions to the advantages of the city In
which it is printed, to make a favor
able impression, to chronicle every ad'
vance that is made along every line,
to note everything that may impress
the outsider with the fact that this
rs the place of places to invest In.
The newspaper, because it a dc
all these things more successfully than
dny other one agent, Is a power In
the development of a city. Its impor
tance should not be overlooked, and il
can hardly be overestimated.

Nearsighted Children.

Many small children are wearing
glasses unnecessarily, to their great
discomfort and not infrequently dam
ger. in case of accident. / have taught
two children in my own family to read.
They are of different ages and We're
taught at different times, yet they
manifested the same tendency in their
first struggles with the printed page to
draw the book close and closer to their
eyes. 1t was the same with writing;
the head would go down until the nose
almost touched the slate. AS they had
never shown any other symptoms of
nearsightedness, I reasoned that it
could not be a defect of the eyes but
only the difficulties of the little brain
in an unfamiliar field and an IN
stinctive feeling that the closer the
task the nearer solution. l showed
them that they could see just as well
with the book at a proper distance and
kept constant watch at first, drawing
the head back or the book down, per-
haps a dozen times in Il lesson. In a
short time the tendency to bring the
work too near entirely disappeared;
the children have grown up without a
trace Of nearsightedness and have
never required glasses. OF course the
teacher of forty or more little ones
could not be expected to give the neces
sary close attention to each where
many manifested such a tendency, but
then L should never think of continuing
