With a little shrek Of excitement
Margaret dashed down the concourse
and slipped through the gate just In
time. She paused uncertainty, looking
for the private car, A brakeman dart
ed forward, half pushed her upon the
rear platform and the train began to
move. There was a clamor at the

had missed the train, and Margaret
smiled contentedly as she realized by
how narrow margin she had caught

YOUNG STREET CLEANERS.
How Brooklne School Children Keep a
Neiahborhood Free From Litter.


Neiehborhood Free From Litter.
The Pierce school In Brookline, Mass
has solved the problem OF Uttered
streets In so far as the children OF
that school are concerned.
At first an attempt was made at alb
stract teaching, says the Boston Tran
script, but It was without effect Then
something practical was devised. Each
room held an election and selected -four
representatives for the Good Citizens
club, making about fifty In all.
These met and selected officers, di-
vided up the streets Of the neighbor
hood and assigned a portion to each
grade, making It absolutely responsible
for conditions In Its territory. Waste
receptacles were needed, and the chill
dren interviewed the assistant super
intendent Of streets and got them.
To keep up interest the teachers are
conducted by the various squads over
what they call their beats" Healthy
emulation has produced most desir-
able results.
Cleanliness and freedom from posi-
bic contagion made It necessary that
the children should not handle dirty
papers, skins Of fruit and other refuse
with their fingers, so the manual train
ing teacher got some volunteers from
the club and collecting sticks were pre-
pared for the workers.
The results OF the experiment are
manifest, and many favorable COM
ments have come IN from citizens and
from the officials OF the street depart
ment. School papers. which may easi-
ly be detected, are rarely found on the
streets. II is observed. however, that
refuse from other sources continues
about the same, and II Is thought It
will probably remain so until adults
learn from the children or till the
younger generation takes the place Of
the present careless one.
The principal of the school says that
one thing Is certain--the members OF
the Good Citizens club OF that Pierce
school who have bent their backs 1000
times In the course OF single week
to pick up papers can never in the
whole course of their lives look upon
scattered papers in the streets with in
difference.

RUMOR THAT GOVERNOR
HAGERMAN WILL RETIRE

hre have been rumors over the
Territory several times that Govern
or Hagerman would be removed from
office, started no doubt by the gang
and for their own selfish ends, but
the latest seems to be a rumor that
the Governor will retire of his own
free will. While The Record is not
authorized to deny his latter rumor,
it feels that it can be confidently as
serted hat there is no truth in this
report. and hat Governor Hagerman
will stay at Santa Fe until the fight
for good government is won, or I'M
til a Democratic president is elected,
good government. The rumor as to
the retirement of the governor is tax
en- from the Silver City Independent
and is as follows:
I'm the meanwhile the report gains
strength that New Mexico will have
a new governor by April 1, that the
present incumbent has grown so tired
of the wrangling of which he is the
cause n of the luke warm support
ne is receiving from press and peo-
pie and that practical politics is so
distasteful to him that he placed his
resignation in the hands of the secre-
tary of the iAterior several months
ago already, to be given the president
at some opportule moment, but not
before the governor has cceed in
impressing his ideas of reform upon
laws and officials. In this connection
report has it. that the governor may
have some foreign diplomatic Office
for the asking. but prefers devoting
his time, after retiring from the gov
ernorship, to administering the es-
tates of his father, who is rapidly
growing feebler owing to old age.
This may be idle talk and is merely
given for what it is worth. This much
is certain: That Attorney General
Reid has mad every preparation to
return to his home in Roswell on
April L.

NEGRO APPOINTED
TO CINCINNATI PORT.

Some of MIR. Roosevelt's critics say
that the avowed purpose of the Presi-
dem to appoint a negro to the office
of surveyor of the port, is to annoy
Senator Foraker. Blu why should
Senator Foraker be annoyed by such
al appointment? If it is proper to
appoint deserving negroes" to Fed
eral Office in southern states why
close the oor of hope to the "deserv-
ing negro in the North? 1t has al
ways been a mystery to a considerable
number of people why so few negroes
have been given Office in the North,
when so many ave beer IGNORED in
the South. There have been many ne
gro postmasters il the South, but we
do not recall one instance where a
negro has been appointed to a post
office in the North.-Bryan's Com
moner.

Rev. Edwin Emerson Davis will re-

at the Presbyterian church, beginning

when he will preach on Personal
Influence Sunday night NJ r.Davis
will present the eco lecture of a
series on Early History of Chris
tianity." This course of lectures was
interrupted by the minister's recent
illness. 1t is believed hat the people
of Roswell will appreciate and profit
by this study of history. Very few
people have even in their libraries
the material for such a study. and
besides that Mr.. Davis has already
performed h bulk of the task by
his research, classification and topi-
cal binding together of related facts
in attractive form.

SHALL THE AMERICAN
PRESS BE CENSORED

What kind of a press do the Ameri-
can people want?
A free one, striving to merit the
peoples approval by maintaining the
peoples rights and by catering to the
peoples wants, Or a censored one, gag
ged one, controlled by mad in the in
~terests of certain political and corpor-
ate powers intrenched at Washington?
It is amazing that this question
should arise in this country, where,
ever since the government was found
ed, freedom of the press has been cher
isheu as one of the most sacred and
most fundamental of our liberties.
But this question is the chief one
involved in the Penrose postal meas
ure now before congress-, in which
it is proposed to so restrict n ha-
rass the newspapers and magazines
as virtually to deprive them of their
independence and influence.
That extraordinary measure as a
whole is a deathblow at the freedom
of the press and at the theory of gov
eminent that a free, untrammeled,
widely circulated press means public
protection and education and nation
al progress.
The press of Russia is edited by the
czar. 1t is a trucule1t press, and a
result is an ignorant, unorganized and
unprogressiye people. Official press
censorship is is indispensable to mo
narchy as it is irreconciliable with
democracy. Few countries of Europe
are free from it. 1t is a natural and
necessary prerogative of sovereignty.
We differ from them in that here
the people themselves are sovereign,
and themselves exercise the sovereign
rights of press censorship.
And ours is a censorship that,
while just, is severe, and, while infor-
NAL, is effective.
The appreciation of the people il
the test by which every newspaper
n otter periodical in this country
thrives or perishes.

none while the people rule.
1t is not at all surprising that some
political sorehads down at Washing
ton, ruefully rubbing their bruises in
ficted by an independent press
should wish to bring that press under
their own control.
1t is not surprising that some con
gressional managers of incorporated
thievery should seek to bind and gag
the doughty Waterman of the peoples

The main outward of popular sover-
ig1ty is free public opinion stimulated
by a free press which nothing but
