EDITORIAL THOUGHT
IN THE SOUTHWEST.

Many of the newspapers throughout
the Territory seem to be very much
alarmed because the legislature is
doing so little. To our mind the pre-
The fewer laws they make the better.
We have now more laws than the or
binary mortal can keep up with.
What we need now is one law that
will make everyone comply with the
laws already on the statute books.
Hard matter, we admit, but what is
the use of a lot of laws if they are
merely dead-letter notwithstanding
Headlight.

After all, perhaps the United States
senate has no right to throw stones
at the New Mexico legislature. The
seating of Reed Smoot- even by a
narrow margin, is worse than any
thing done so far during the present
session at Santa Fe.

The art of telling a story was culti-
waited as a fine art by the Southern gen.
tleman of olden time. 1t was introduced
and interspersed with fitting preliminaries
and details.
Among the plain people the story was
told in more staccato style, and was the
favorite method OF making clear or en-
forcing any point. In the conferences
and associations of preachers, in the con-
ventions of politicians, in the groups of
lawyers ION circuit everywhere the
good story was the powerful resource of
social pleasure and argumentative illus
tration.
Mr.. Lincoln's inimitable stories filtered
through the ranks of war into the South
during the times that tried mems souls.
They kept his intense humanness to the
forefront of attention. Evaporation
could hardly be focused on character
associated with so much good humor and
merriment. Even the Southern war Gov

In the beautiful Lake Champlain is a
large island, with several separate town
ships. Somewhere about 1855 a family
of Quakers came from the South and
found the place. 'The Lord" they say,
has led us into ways of peace. Here
we will live, and the blessings Of heaven
will be with u.s." They labored at their
wholesome toll and their minds were fill
ed with wholesome thoughts. Sun and
storm succeeded sun and storm. and the
years passed and they found rest unto
the third generation.
In 1861, when the stricken country
cried for men to save he's, the note of
war came to the island, and the great
grandson of the first Quaker vas drafted.

Rebellion.

That there is a startling difference
between the temper of the rising gener-
alton and that Of the youth whose
young ideas shot up according to the
teachings Of Mrs. Hannah More and
Sanford and Merton, has recently been
proved by a little 7-year-old girl, who
was laboriously spelling her way
through reading lesson.
Always speak the TRUTH she said,
land obey your parents"
BE gentle and quiet. Never slam
the door and shout and scream about
the house.

greedy manner like pig"

with a portentious bang and announced
with firmness and decision:

Danger In overheated Rooms.

The season of the year Is at 1and
when tuberculosis gets in it's work with
most deadly effect. The cold, raw days
of winter are particularly conducive
to the spread of the disease, not be-
cause they are cold and raw, but be-
cause people insist upon shutting them
selves up in superheated rooms without
proper ventilation. 1t has been def
niteIy proven beyond the slightest doubt
that no single cause is so conducive to
the spread of tuberculosis as overhead
ed offices and oyerheated and ill-venti-
lated living and sleeping rooms. A
baked" atmosphere causes loss of vi
tality, weakens the resisting power to
disease and brings all the physical
forces to a condition where the slight
est exposure to the chill outside air
invites an attack of disease upon throat

weather and Mentality.

Everybody probably feels that his or
ner mental condition depends, to some
extent upon the character Of the wealth
er. In gloomy weather we are, Of
course, apt to be depressed, and in fair
weather exhilarated. When the atmo-
sphere is stimulating the mental and
physical energies are enhanced
Starting from these generally rec
ognized facts, we'll known scientist
at Washington has made a study of the
effects of the weather on the human
conduct, the results of which are rath-
er surprising. He shows, by a system
of tabulation, that misdemeanors IN
volving violence, such as assaults, are
more common in bright weather, and
that the same is true of suicides. On
the other hand, mental errors, such as
mistakes In bank figures, are more COM
mon in damp, rainy weather
The scientists inference is that the
excess of energy produced by brac-
ing condition of the air is responsible
for more violence than is the ugly
temper" caused by bad weather, be-
cause the latter, while lowering the
spirits, diminishes the activity of men.
