II appears that under q former stat

Thus any local preacher other than

CRITICIZING THE TREATY.

Now that the happenings at Ports
mouth are beiug more closely scrutn-
lied, many arrive at the conclusion that
the japanese protestants against the
ratification Of the terms Of peace. really
have q grievance Paul S. Reinsch,
professor Of political science in the Uni
verslty Of Wisconsin, is among those
who have publicly expressed this view.
IN an article I'm the outlook he declares
that the peace concluded was 'unfory
tunatc,' as It Immediately rcyives an
the dangerous ambitions OF Russia and
gives the autocracy the power to re-
establish its police rule and hold fast to
It's reactionary traditions
Prof. Rensch goes on 10 explain that
Japan, at the critical moment. was
abandoned by her protested friends and
ales,whie Russia was powerfully sup
ported especially By the German gov
eminent il Is to the interest OF Ger
many to have tranquility in Russia, on
account Of the danger turbulence on
the German side. That was one strong
reason why the Emperor came 20 the

Professor, "as he succeeded In fright
enlng France I'm the Morocco matter,
so now Great Britain has concuslvely
proved the utter ncapacIty Of her for
olgn policy by yielding to his plans and
allowing Japan to lose the advantages
OF her victory"
It IS undoubtedly true that the Jap
anosC acted wisely in accepting peace
on such conditions as were obtanablc
But II is also true that II the conyic-
ton SIS established among the people Of
Japan. that the country was betrayed
by its protested friends, there win be

and perfect justice established.

FALSE AND FOOLISH

AT the good roads convention in Las Vegas, c. j..
Gavin on Wednesday morning, at the opera house, said
that the most valuable thing we have in New Mexico
is scenery" In that statement Mr.. Gavin got of a good
deal more gush than gumption. In fact the statement
besides being untrue escapes by less than a hairs
breadth from being silly.
Such assertion going abroad, would not have much
influence in bringing to New Mexico homeseekers'
whether they be health seekers or farmers, traders
stockmen or miners. OF course, our scenery is good in
its way and good roads are an imperative necessity; not
that a few tourists may thus be able to see the scenery.
but for the development of our great and growing ID.
dustres.
Our climate is more valuable to the health seeker
than would be all the scenery of the world. even though
it could be crowded into the space -encompassed by New
Mexico's boundaries. Our stock industry, our wool, our
agricultural advantages, our mines, our opportunities
for trade and commerce, our possibilities for manutac-
turing, our surface and under-flow supplies of water
almost every thing that New Mexico possesses is OF
more value than the scenery; and it is to be regretted
that such wild and worthless statements, as the one
here criticized, should be made in public and to the de-
triment of the territory.

TFFE STUPID CHILD

What are you going to do with the stupid child
the mentally deficient child?
Will you take the trouble to give him the special
training that he needs, or will you allow him to SHIFT
for himself? VIII you by special effort help him to be-
come a useful and respected citizen, or will YOU allow
him to be ridicuied by his playmates and, through DIS
enlargement, becomes a burden to society, elther as a
worthless ne'erdowell or as an outright crlmlnal'
This is a serious problem. It is a hopeful sign that
hiEh-minded men and women are attempting to solve H.
For several years Boston has been paying special atten-
ton to the education of deficient children. New York
As beginning to do this and other cities are considering
it
The investigation in New York shows that from l
TO 2 per cent Of the children in the public schools are
mentally deficient. There are thus in New York alone
from 5000 to 10000 children that are handicapped by
our present methods of teaching and that need the care
of specially trained teachers.
The causes of this mental deficiency are numerous
II may be hereditary; it may be improper food; or ply
steal defects, tobacco, liquor, tea and coffee. There are
a great many causes, but it is not impossible to remove
them by the right kind of training.
What are you going to do with the stupid child?
AS our schools are now conducted, he is always at the
tag end of his classes. He retards the progress of his
classmates and annoys his teachers. He is dihereit from
mis- fellows. He can't keep up and he is dropped from
class to class until he loses hope and gradually drifts
into the life of The truant or the criminal.
