A HusIncss .x..~,. q o.
for Milbank.

Mr.. F. E. Granger, of Aber-
deem, proprietor of the Granger
Business School, has been in
Milbank looking over the pros
poets for organizing a branch
school at Milbank. He wishes to
be informed as far as possible of
the number of young people who
wish to take a business course,
and would patronize such school
located at Milbank. It would
therefore be we'll for those who
wish to attend business school
to send their names to this paper,
and Mr.. Granger will take up
the matter with view Of putting
in school if the patronage will
warrant it. He proposes to organ
ize a school with facilities and
equipment equal to the one in
Aberdeen. AS further expla-
nation it might be we'll to state
that the tuition cost is $40
month, $25 for three months or
$45 for six months, and that en-
rollment can be made at any
time. The purpose of such q
school is to accommodate all
grades of students and to give
individual instruction as lar as
possible; those who are backward
IN common school work taking
what is needed to fit them for the
commercial course, and those
who were further advanced TAX
ing a shorter course and fitting
themselves for business po-
sitions.
Those who desire 10 attend the
school should send their names
in promptly and before the first
of October.

Roosevelt is to be congratulated.
Pettigrew will sink again into the

While he remains active he will
serve admirably as horrible ex-

THE LIBEL LAW AGAIN.

The libel law introduced by Council
mar Winters on Thursday should be-
come a law. The bill modifies the
drastic provision Of the old law which
prohibited the truth from being

stances. According to the terms of
the Winters bill, the truth may be
shown In justification except in state
ments tending TO blacken the memory
OF the dead or expose the natural de-
fects Of the living"
The Optic has no fear OF the libel
law either with the proposed amend
ment or without IL. Neither has the
editor Of The Optic any fear of the
law against horse-stealing. But be-
cause he does not expect to steal any
horses IL no reason why he should
sanction an unjust law which should,

ishable by death. We do not expect
The Optic to become liable for libel
but that Is no eason why we should
approve Of such an unjust statute as
the provision OF the old law which pro-
hibits, except In a few instances, the
showing Of the truth.
Let the amendment be passed which
puts the New Mexico law against libel
on a status with that Of most OF the
states OF the union. and no further ar
gument should be needed than that
this Is Just.

have Catarino appointed to this i'm.

All Of which leads us to say that the

The law creating this office is q good
one. but that II may prove as eff.
Client and beneficial as Its trainers in

a say with the greatest assurance
that his brilliant record. his recognized
