THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

TOXIC. Feb. 2-Baron Kantaro Kaneko.
a distinguished member OF tho Japanese
house of peers and a special ambassador
recently detailed by the imperial govern
ment to visit America and study political
and economic conditions there, has just
been interviewed on the San Francisco
school question. In the course of the In
terview he said: From the outset /
knew It TO be local auertion, unen-
dorsed by American public opinion, and L
have been speaking OF 1t to my friends In
that light.
This Is more than confirmed by Presi-
dent Roosevent's message. which | con-
slider the greatest utterance since the fare
we'll message OF President Warrington.
IT is unprecedented in the way it so
strongly advocates n foreign cause. No
stronger or ADLER advocate could be found
for Japan. When the text OF his message
bearing on the school question was fully
translated in the leading papers through
out this country, even In the island or
Formosa all could readily see and APP
preciate the profoundness OF his argu-
nents
Had the question arisen elsewhere the
crisis would have occurred and loud de-
flame, have been uttered. the length ard
breadth of the empire" Continuing he
said: '.All my friends who have recently
returned from abroad. making compar-
alive observations of educational systems
in civilized countries, concur in giving the
first rank to the American system. The
fact that such an excellent fruit OF civili-
zation has been refused to the children
OF friendly power, and that. too In n
country acknowledged as the practical e1-
ponent of humanitarianism only tends to
ALLEVIATE 1t from tho sympathies OF the
civilized world" He added:
THE affair. disagreeable and regretta-
BILE as 1t is has served the unique pur-
pose OF demonstrating to the world how
deep rooted ia the friendship between
Japan and America. The latent cordial
ity japan entertains for her tutor is
, shown by the fact that. suffering under
the severest strain. Japan does not for
get what she owes to America in her
modern progress. but unflnchingly trusts
in support to her rights to the Justice
which guides American sentiment.

No Tax on Treasury.

It has never been touched. and tho

tax the treasury at all. The money
cannot be touched until Congress has
adjudicated all claims in connection
with It's collection. Congressman Helm.

This cotton tax WAS collected under
an act that clearly violates section z
paragraph 2. of the Federal Constitu-
ton, and l do not believe the govern
ment will persist much longer In hold
ing the money from our people. Con

to the States the money that had been
collected by direct tax on land. thereby
establishing a precedent.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Nov. 3.-One Of
the most important real estate deals
made in the Mesilla valley in years
was the sale Of the old Weir and
Shropshire ranch of 527 acres, located
two miles north Of Las Cruces, this
week, to Messrs. McCord and Orpin,
of FL Paso, formerly of Los Angeles,
California. This ranch was sold last
summer to Messrs. Baker and Sattley,
Of the Las Cruces Realty company,
and by them sold to McCord and Or
pin.
This ranch will be divided into ten
acre tracts and sold. . The PROPOSE
ton is to sell the land and ii the buy
er desires they will clear the land,
level 1t and plant out any crop the
owner may desire. Also they VIII
agree to take care of h crop ana
at the end of the a make return
of the profits TO the owsner
Messrs. McCord and Orpin nave been
handling valley lands in California for
several years on this same plan; also
fruit lands at Grand Junction, Colo,
and Missoula, Montana. These gem
tlemen think the Mesilla valley land
is as good as any valley land in Cal
i%fornia, and particularly well adapted
to the raising of cantaloupes, grapes
and peaches. and they will recon-
ment the planting of cantaloupes on
the land for the first few year. on ac-
count Of the big profits.
Lyon Bros, of New York, who
handle the Rocky Ford and Brawley,
Cal, cantaloupes, to the big markets
of the country, have contracted for
the planting Of several hundred acres
of Mesilla valley land next year In
cantaloupes. This industry has brought
about the possibility of large profits
from the small acreage.
The advent of the California idea
of small farms for diversified farm
ing inthe Mesilla valley is the resuli
of the government work In building
the diversion dam at Leasburg, di'
vertlng the waters Of the Rio Grand'
into the Mesilla valley bitches, thus
insuring to the farmers a permanent
supply of water for irrigation pur'
poses.
New Mexico has the inest climate
il the world, and the Mesilla valley
the finest climate in New Mexico, ant
her soil will raise anything that car
be raised i'm California, excepting cit
trus fruits, therefore, the Mesilla val
ley Is destined in a few years to be
come as popular as California is to-
day.
