Is This Real Progress?

Less than half a century ago
the heaviest gun known was the
68-pounder. This gun was about
nine inches bore, and fired a g.
pound projectile, with a 16-pound
charge of gunpowder, but was
powerless against four and a half
inches of wrought iron. Our bat
tleships today are equipped with
12-inch guns which with a charge
of 400 to 425 pounds of smokeless
powder, are capable of driving
an S5O-pound projectile through
81 inches of solid wrought iron.
In olden times it required about
four minutes to load and fire one
of the now obsolete 68-pounders,
while the new and terrible IL
inch guns can be loaded and
fired in about so seconds with
perfect safety-to the man be-
hind the gun.

Unhappy Rus a.

Russia is awakening from its
dream of freedom, and is once
more learning the old story of
expectations doomed to be UNI
fulfilled. The vision of political
equality for the people is van
ishing into thin air. Despite the
promises on the part of the Car
to provide a representative form
of government for Russia, Witte
now intimates that Nicholas may
take it all back" and that I'M
der any form of government he
still intends to retain his full
autocratic power.
Russia, therefore, is not yet
free. On the contrary, the san
culinary battles of the past year
have merely led to an evolving
of nany-phrased, ambiguous or
ders which served only to pacify
a people poorly led and inada-
quately prepared to claim their
rights. Russia still stands in
chains, and the shackles more
than ever bind and chafe, be-
cause of the visions of freedom
their wearerS have conjured up.
Revolt it was in Russia; not
revolution. For the latter a
leader must leap from the peo.
pie a leader heaven born. Not
yet has this unhappy land borne
him. Till he arises it will be re.
volt and servitude still.

Regarding the TIGER.

A bill was introduced in Con-
gress the first of the week by
Representative Littleton, Maine,
to prohibit gambling in the terri
tories and providing dire pains
and penalties forall gamblers. 1t
is intended to pass this bill if the
statehood bill does not get
through, 1t will be amusing to
see Marshal Foraker rounding up
a bunch of tinhorns who have
worked a sucker in a brace faro
game, and it will be interesting
to listen to the eloquence of Mai.

Not Fit for Statehood

Travelling auditor of the terri
tory, Charles V. Stafford, said in
checking up the accounts of the
treasurers and collectors there
was not a defaulter in these Of
fees in New Mexico during the
past year and New Mexico citi-
zens should feel proud of their
officers, treasurers and collectors.
In nearly all the surrounding
states and territories during the
year of 1905 there were cases of
default, while in this side of the
line we have gotten happily along
the straight and narrow road.

There is an increasing desire
on the part Of the people of this
country for a change in the
method of electing U. S. SEN
ators. Formerly both branches
of the Legislative department of
our government represented the
governed, and the country gen.
orally was satisfied. But the
Senate has long assumed more
and more to be the whole govern
ment, and has grown into the
position of a great clearing house
of political influence, and instead
of representing the people, have
come to be labeled with the ini-
tials of the various corporations
they represent. They have long
dictated the distribution of pa
tronage and if it did not please
them they withheld confirma-
ton. They have grown so great
on what they have fed that Con-
gressmen have dwindled into in
significance by comparison.
Roosevelt is president despite
the bitter opposition of the Sen
ate's utmost power. His policies
are not those of the Senate. His
recommendations are not pleas
ing to those side partners of the
Senate, the corporate interests.
And backed by the people, he
is bringing the Senate to terms.
And coincident with this shear.
ing of the locks of the senatorial
Samson in the national realm,
has been noted a disposition of
the people in the states likewise
to trim the powers of this, our
Caesar. The machines, once SC
responsive to suggestion from
Washington, have been over.
thrown state by state. La Fol
lette, Cummins, Deneen, Folk

on-you can almost call the rol
of governors and find it a list Of
men who have been nominated
and elected as protest, more OIL
less direct, more or less con
scious, against domination from
Washington, against the oil
garchy tendency at the United
States Senate.

IOint Statehood.

While the fight has been going
on in Congress, New Mexico and
Colorado have become linked to-
gether, and are now commercial
ly in Joint statehood.
Last week the long distance
telephone line of the Colorado
company reached and connected
Albuquerque with Las Vegas,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and
Denver.
Telephone connection with all
the principal cities of this section
and especially with Denver will
give great impetus to business
in the New Mexico towns and
particularly Albuquerque at the
present time.
The wire gang are now string
ing their wires in this direction,
will soon reach Socorro, and Dem
ing will at no distant day be one
of the connecting points. This
is Joint statehood" in the right
manner and in the right direc.
ton for New Mexico.

CITY Y. WATER!
1. At Low Cost
superintendent Smiths Report Makes
Good Showing.

Superintendent Smith of the city
waterworks in his semi -annual report
presented to the council last night pre-
sented a very strong argument of the
value of municipal ownership Of that
public utility. The salary account for
December was $45S.50: the power ac-
count $253.43 and the expenditure for
incidentals $146. making a total Of
$S51.92 for disbursements.
The receipts for the month were
$1,S92.73. The semi-annual report
showed receipts Of $10.706.23 and dis
arises from the fact that $4,000 interest
had to be paid at this time and $4,000
paid out for betterments in the way
Of new pipe and $1,000 for repairs.
Deducting this $4,000 the actual ope-
rating expenses for the last six months
Is found to be 1895, while the actual
income is 1O.70e. IS. and this time In
cludes all the heavy pumping season
incident to irrigation with all the re-
pairs to both pump and motor and to
pipe lines.
The report goes on to show that aside
from the earnings indicated by the
cash from personal services the city
has had free water for fifty-four fire
plugs, free water for the parks. free
water for sprinkling and free water
for the city hail and the public IL
brary. also for twenty fiush tanks for
the sewers-a service all told which
under the old company's rates would
cost the city $500 per year.
Briefs from The Official Reports.
The city on January 1 had $17.S1O.4S
in the treasury. The receipts for De-
cember were S4.1l2.s1 and the expen-
ditures $6.277,32.
the month Of December and the ex-
penses of the police department were
$397.50.
The fines collected by the police
Judge during the month amounted to
$62S.10 and the fines collected for the
past year aggregated 36,093.66.
Eight people were born in the city
during the month and eight died.
