SPANISH IN NEW MEX
ICO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

1.-The Tres Piedras Mining Reporter
makes a very timely and sensible
suggestion, which public school auth
critics in every county in the Terri
tory should carry into effect. 1T is
that Spanish should be taught in the
public schools of New Mexico. The
reasoning advanced by the Reporter
is cogent, sensible and timely. The
New Mexican knows very well that
it is the habit of the Democratic
bosses in eastern New Mexico to
ook with d~isfavor upon such a plan,
and indeed to drive everything Span
ish, or of Spanish descent, out of
should cut no ice. The greatest good
for the greatest number would be
served by the teaching of Spanish in
the public schools and by the learn
ing of the language by people here
in general. In due course of time
New Mexico must have more or less
trade with it's southern neighbor, nj
then knowledge of the Spanish Ian
guage will certainly be found valua-
BILE and of pecuniary benefit, leaving
all other considerations out of tine
question.-Santa Fe New Mexican.
The trouble with Colonel Frost ap-
pears to be that, while he knows a
lot, he scolds too much to be a good
teacher. The RECORD and the Dem
ocrats of eastern New Mexico gen
ing of Spanish in the schools. They
realize the value of such knowledge
to American business men, not only
in New Mexico, but in other portions
of the United States having dealings
with our foreign possessions or Span
ish neighbors. The only candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
superintendent OF SchOo in this
county, Major Mark Howell, is rec
ognized locally as an authority on
Spanish, and has taught and believes
in teaching the language. Eastern
New Mexico, however, objects to the
teaching of Spanish to the exclusion
of the English language. This being
a territory of the United States, all
citizens should first be required to
show some proficiency in the use of
the English language before under
taking Spanish. In other words, the
Mexican must adapt himself to
American conditions. and not re

race.
There is no use denying the fact
that stories, true or false, to the eff
feet that half the population of New
Mexico cannot write or speak Eng.
lish have been the strongest argu-
ment used against statehood. Much
educational progress has been made
in this Territory, and a fair share of
the credit for same is due to the cit
liens of Spanish and Mexican des-
cent,-but there is much more yet to
effected by either d~eceiving the Mex
leans into fancied security or STIR
ring up strife between the races. Let
the natives be told the truth, that at
some time, not far distant, all pub
lie business. in the Territory of New
Mexico Tor state of Arizona) must
be conducted in the English language.
This course will benefit the Mexicans
even more than it will other citizens,
for unless they prepare themselves
for intelligent participation in bust
assimilated with the life of their
adopted country they will be annini-
lated or showed aside by the natural
law of progress.
The fact that foreigners from other
countries and in other states of the
Union are admitted to citizenship of
without proper qualification does not
justify New Mexico in failure or neg
lect to look after her own best int
erests.
The Record realizes that many cit
liens of Spanish and Mexican des-
cen have already surpassed some of
the Lilly Whites" in preparation for
American citizenship. In this partic-
ular section of the Territory, howev-
err, are many Mexicans who have but
lately crossed the line,-and certain
ly these are, not entitled to vote I'M
til they have at least taken out nat
uralization papers and learned that
Diaz is not president of the United
States. There are. too, older ones,
good sheep-herders and ~peaceable
men, who are now too old to learn
a new language or adapt themselves
as exists in the Pecos Valley. We
are informed that many of this class
of Mexicans are to be found in all
parts of the Territory. Perhaps it
is too late to do much for this class
by restraining the politicians
who would take advantage of them
for corrupting the ballot,-but there
is no good reason why their children
o be made as fit for citizen
ship in this country as the children
of other foreigners.
The man who buys a vote is more
dangerous to good government than
the man who sells it, because he has

OUR LEADERS IN RE.
FORM ARE THE CITIES.

(Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, in Smiths
Magazine.)
In my opinion the American city
is going to reform America. The CT
ties were h first to revolt against
the corruption which has been dis
closed in American politics. In time
the cities will become organized to
promote not only good government,
but a peoples government. Popular
government is reasserting itself in
the cities. 1t is not only protesting
against corruption, it is seeking tt
make the city a more comfortable,
more pleasant, and happier place in
which to live. For this reason, the
cities are going in for the ownership
of the franchise corporations. The
people have come to believe that this
is the only way.to make the fran
chise corporations serve the people.
The same motives are extending the
parks, widening their use, opening
grounds. 1t is his spirit that is beau
tifying our cities, building better
schools, and taking care of the I'M
fortunate children on the streets, who
used to be sent to Jail because there
was no one to take an interest in
them.
1t is UGH issues as these, as well
as the correction of the inequalities
of taxation, that have stimulated the
real reform movements in America.
In my opinion, the way to remove
| corruption is to remove the cause of
it. The cause in Philadelphia, in New
York, in Cincinnati, in St. Louis, was
the big privileges in the form of fran
chises which big business men got
from the councils. These franchises
are worth hundreds of millions. Men
a afford to pay hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars to control a party.
Through h party they make nomi-
nations, through the men so nomi-
mated they give themselves and their
friends franchises in the treets. If
you take the franchises out of pri-
waite hands you unite all classes for
good government. So long as you
leave them in you nave a big class,
government because bad government
means franchises and privileges for
them and their friends.

experience which menaced him with
heart disease, says Chicago dispatch.
It happened shortly before midnight on
a recent Sunday when he was speeding

An icy wind swept Elston avenue,
chilling the motorman to the bone de
spite his thick layers of clothing.
At Irving Park boulevard a man and
a woman wildly signaled the onrushing
car. 1t was brought to a standstill as
promptly as the benumbed fingers
could work the ice fettered brake. On
boarding the car the woman hurried to
q seat. while the man fshed out a roll
of bills from an inside pocket, stripped
off new twenty dollar note and strobe

presence Of mind to pocket the TWEEN

MAN TO CREATE LIFE

Jacques LOeb's Discoveries "Vho

Man through his advanced science
may develop into creator himself. is
the opinion of Professor Wilhelm Ost-
valid of the University of Leipsic ad-
vanced in a lecture at Columbia uni.
verstty on the results of the attempts
to create life through chemical proc
esses, says the New York World
Professor OSWALD has given careful
attention to the experiments of Pro-
fessor Jacques Loeb Of the Universit..,
OF California and announces with con-
7dence his belief that by slow develop
ment science may even create a type
Of life as high IS that of our domestic
animals.
The steps will be slow. One form of
life will be produced after another, and
eventually the professor expects some
cal being may be produced
Professor Ostwald is a bold thinker
and daring talker. Hi belief that
man may eventually usurp some Of the
functions Of the Creator is, he says,
based on careful study and research,
and that some new form Of being Of
the highest type, with the ability to
propagate it's kind, will walk the earth
as a product Of advanced science he
considers as certain as that modern me-
chanical invention will take forward
strides in the coming century
'SThere is practically no limit to what
man can do in this direction" he said.
"Of course, at first he will be able to
produce only a piece Of protoplasm,
something like the water hydra or the
resemblance of the sea urchin that
Professor Loeb has evolved, but 1t Will,
be instinct with real life and will be a
step In the new evolution. This evo-
luton can only result III the creation
of something the equal of our higher
animals, but what it will be who shall
say?
1T seems to me that the scientist
who does this will be able to determine
the physical form Of his creation after
the development has started, and he
will have created a new order of life
for this being will multiply in its own
form Indefinitely, just the same as al
our modern animals.
''I am not biologist I am Just a
chemist | cannot say whether this
creation of man will be crustacean
amphibian, mammalian or whether bi
ped, quadruped, fish, fowl or reptile
can only say that after careful study
OF what has been accomplished I an
overwhelmed at the inevitable proba

processes organic being can be pro
duced, and future generations may be
furnished with a living, object lessor
In the doctrine Of evolution. Who
knows but a new order of humanity
may be created? We cannot yet fully
explain the fact and phenomena OF
life, and, after all, living thing is

General Wheeler's lack Of fear is II
Illustrated by the following story told by
a sea captain named Lowden, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat:
"He made several trips on my vessel
to the wrecks Of Admiral Cervera's
fleet" said Captain Lowden, "and if a
bath in the pellucid Caribbean wasn't
his prime object in going, it was al
ways considered in the programme.
General Wheeler was great swimmer
and exhibited a most inspiring absence
of fear as to sharks, something not ex-
actly shared by his fellow officers. On
our first trip to the famous Vizcaya we
were at anchor near her, at place
where sharks were said to abound,
when he expressed the determination
of having a swim. The idea Of pre-
venting him on principles OF humanity
was overawed by the shoulder straps
of major general
II prevailed on him, however, to al
low one Of our yawls to attend, which
he declared he did not think necessary
and, after stripping ito a grit line as
sailors say, he sprang on the rail with
the agility Of boy and took header
that would have bothered most young
sters to equal. He swan around and
around, climbing into the yawlboat and
diving from her number Of times
then returned on board, much to oul
relief and without single finny 'deni
