ally seen in the states are taught, and
at Colonia Juarez, which is the edu-
cational center, is what they term the
Juarez Stake academy, which is a
high school modelled upon the lines of
similar schools in the United States
and is fully equal to any of them. 1t
prepares young men and women for
the colleges in the United States.
The schools are all supported by a
voluntary income tax on each and ev-
cry colonist, and they have cost as high
as S1z per cent in some years, when the
coIonists were poorer than they are
now.
The building of the Juarez Stake
academy is two-story brick with
stone trimmings, and cost $4,000
Mexican. 1t is by far the best school
house in the state of Chihuahua, and
was paid for entirely by the Juarez
colonists with the aid of some philan-
thropic Mormons in Utah. Tuition is
free to the children in all the colonies,
and to the MeXicans residing in the
colonies the schools are also free. In
some cases the boards of education
have bought books for the children of
MeXicans too poor to buy them
The instruction in the academy is
along practical lines. Manual train
ing, such as the elements of carpen-
try and agriculture, is taught the
young men, and dressnaking to the
young women. Professor Guy c. Will
son, the principal and superintendent
of all the colonies schools, is a high
class educator, and the board of educa-
ton pays his expenses every sum-
mer to visit educational conventioaas
and institutions in the United States,

toms famous normal institute at Tus-
keegee, as it is Professor Wilson'S plan
to improve his schools along practical
educational lines.
All instruction in the colonies
schools is in English, but Spanish is
thoroughly taught, and every Mormon
boy and girl can speak, read and write
Spanish.
A drunken Mormon is an exceeding
ly rare sight. Temperance is a part
of their life and their religion. Even
the use of coffee and tea are strangely
discouraged, and tobacco is not toler-
ated.
No Church Buildings.
In all the Mormon colonies is not to
be seen single church building as
such. With them it was the school
house first and the church temples are
TO come later. The school house is the
public meeting house." as they call It.
There are no drOnes among these
cOlOnists. All are workers and their
young men are in demand among the
corporations operating in this state on
account of their temperate steady and
Industrious habits. From the highest
to the lowest, they all work. At Gallo

pRAKEMEN AND MURoERERs.

The Rev. Mr. William r. Huntington
of New York. in a communication to
the Times of that city, makes a COM
harrison that is striking. He shows that
the life of the average railroad brake
man is in more danger than the life of
the average citizen who kills fellow
man. Mr.. Huntington takes his fig
ures from a year book compiled by
able and accurate statisticians, the
record for 1904 being given. He says:
During the year 1904, out of 1O6,7S4
trainmen employed on the railways of
the United States. 1892 were killed.
During the same year, according to the
same trustworthy book of reference,
3 As2 murders and homicides were COM

crimes 11s persons were executed If

THE ROOSEVELT ANNUAL.

President Roosevelt has issued his
annual address to federal OfficehOlders
10 keep out of Tolitics. This time he
says he has been informed that certain
officeholders are planning to attend
the Republican national convention
with a view to bringing about his NOM
nation Concluding his letter. which
is addressed to cabinet officers, he
says: Il wish that you would direct
federal officeholders in your depart
ment who have such d thing in view
that l would regard it as an act of i'm
propriety and discourtesy."
This is interesting but not important
Mr.. Roosevelt has issued similar bull
letins many a time and oft. The only
variation this time is that his mes
sage has to do with his own personal
ity. Nevertheless the bulletin is vague.
It will be noted that he does not say
federal officeholders must not indorse
him for a third term. He could have
put the case much more strongly. He
could have said that, in view of the
fact that he has said he would-nOt I'M
der any circumstances be a candidate
for or accept another nomination, any
federal officeholder who insisted on
booming him would render himself liza
BILE to removal
The public cannot help remembering
that i'm the past the OfficehOlders have
paid very little attention to President
Roosevelts pronunciamentos. He has
told them repeatedly that they must
refrain from active participation in
politics. but they have gone on par
ticipating just as freely, just as often
sively as if he hadn't said a word
against it, Perhaps in the past Mr..
Roosevelt has issued two ukases, one
for the consumption of the public and
one for the private attention of the
officeholders.
The attitude taken by the latter in
dicates that the private bulletin read
something like this; PAY no atten-
ton to orders published in the news
papers. They We're sent out only for
the purpose of fooling the public. Get
ont and hustle Just as hard as you can
for the entire Republican ticket. unless
somebody on it happens to be offensive

eraI officeholders indicate that they
may have received private instructions
heretofore?
And is il reasonable to suppose that
they will pay any attention to the pres
ident's latest order? Certainly not

river to irrigate 5000 acres of the
beautiful plain east of that colony and
NueVaS CaSaS Grandes These reSer-
voirs used for the same purpose by
some prehistoric people, have capacity
to impound water enough to irrigate
10000 acres of land if they had it.
The Mormons have good grades of
horses, cattle and hogs, fully up to
what one would see in similar settle
ments in the United States. Recently
some of them formed a company and
imported four black Percheron stall
lions, Weighing 1900 to 2,1OO pounds
each, and three fine French coach stall
lions, which were distributed IN
Juarez, Dublan and Diaz colonies for
breeding purposes.
Commercial and Manufacturing.
Colonia Dublan. being on the rail-
road, is the commercial center of the
colonies. Here a company called the
Union Mercantile company, composed
principally of 400 colonists as stock
holders, maintains a general store
equal to the best in Chihuahua 1t
has branch in Colonia Juarez and
another in COlOnia Diaz. 1t is ably
managed by H. Z. Bowman. F. d.
HaymOre also has a large general
store with a branch in Colonia Mo-
relos and the Mexican town of San
MiguelitO. These stores do an i'm
mense business, not only in the COL
onies, but with the mining camps and
Mexican towns and ranches in the
surrounding country, even far into
Sonora.
An important industry is that of the
Juarez Tanning & Manufacturing COM
pany Junius ROmney manager. The
colonists are the stockholders. It has
two tanneries, one at Juarez and the
other near Casas Grandes, with also at
Juarez a shoe factory and a harness
and saddle factorya This concern did a
business in leather and leather goods
for 1906 of $4,000.
Also at Juarez. Daniel Skousen. a
Mormon. has modern roller process
flour MILL which is run day and night.
Proof of Thrift.
As a sample of thrift among the
Mormons, COlOnia Juarez made the
following showing for 1906: The net
per capita of this colony of $50 people
was $500 Mexican money. By the tith-
ing system for the support of their
church, they are able to furnish ac-
curate statistics of exactly what every
one is doing industrially
The greatest work among these
MOrmOns is in education and schools.
Their work in this line is done entirely
by themselves without one cent of aid
from the state, nor do they ask it. In
every colony or settlement is a graded
school, where the eight grades as usu-

SOLVED A LABOR PROBLEM.
(St. Louis GIobe-Democrat.)

(St. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.)
The most ferocious animal he had
met in his entire career as a hunter was
encountered by William Henry of East
Alton, on Ben CoODer's farm. He
chased the "varmint" under Cooper's
barn. Then he went to town and told
the boys about il.
A hunting party was organized for
the following day. There was enough
artillery to arm a company of infantry,
and many regretted that the president
had already passed down the river.
The floor of Cooper's barn was punch
con, heavy logs laid close together, and
it had been there since the war. The
hunters wrought manfully at tearing
the logs from their ancient beds, each
worker keeping his trusty rife close at
hand Outside a ring of hunters ciTcled
the building.
When the logs were out the beast had
not been found The company went
away wondering. The next day it was
announced at the store that Ben was
putting a concrete floor in the barn, and
Ben always was such a joker.

NEGROES IN INDUSTRY.

Booker T. Washington, who has
been referred TO many times by The
Herald as the greatest negro of his
generation, has for years been advis-
ing members of his race to keep out
of politics and TO devote their time
and whatever energy they possess to
learning useful trades, to acquiring
knowledge of farming and other indus
tries. Washington has pointed out that
only in this way can the negro be-
come a thoroughly desirable citizen;
only in this way can he become a per-
manent factor in producing and in
creasing the nations wealth.
Alabama held an industrial fair re-
Gently, and the negro department there
formed a concrete, striking example of
the truth of Washington's arguments.
By the newspapers of Alabama and
other southern states this department
has been referred to as the most in
teresting at the fair. Through it the
negroes have been able to show that
they are capable of learning gainful
trades. that they can make progress
along lines of useful endeavor. Repre-
scented in the exhibit, which was en-
closed in a building erected entirely by
negroes, were eight institutes and col
leges.
Tuskegee. which was among the
number, showed examples of work
done by black boys and girls in the
mechanical department of the insti-
tute, and also in agriculture. horticuI-
ture and Horticulture. Negro farmers
sent in displays of sugar cane, wheat,
oats. peanuts. cotton and other prod
ucts Of the soil. Negro industrial cor
porations were represented by house
hold articles, machinery, livestock and
manufactures of various kinds. Ev-
cry department for which space was
provided was crowded with exhibits.
and the southern people, as well as the
negroes themselves, were immensely
proud of the showing made.
An indication of the white mans
point of view is found in the fact that
the white visitor to the negro building
had nothing but kind words for ex-
hibitors and exhibits. One of the Wis
itors was the governor of the state, and
he made an address TO the colored di-
rectors, congratulating them upon the
progress made and giving assurances
of hearty support for all future move
ments calculated to uplift the race.
How vastly better is it for the negro
of the south, or anywhere else, for that
matter, TO devote his time to legitimate
work, to work for which ne is quail
fled, than to offensive mingling in poll
tics and dreaming of social equality
The former is tolerated because GER
tain politicians cater. at election times.
to the negro voters. The latter can
never be brought about while the re-
public stands. The Herald hopes the
Alabama exhibit will be an encourage
ment to negroes everywhere to learn to
be of value TO themselves and their
country Indeed, It can hardly fail to
be an encouragement.

man in about thirty met his death, and
one murderer in about seventy-three.'
The conclusion of Mr.. Huntington is
that the brakeman's occupation is
more than twice as dangerous as the
murderer's." He seems to have made
out good case. but the figures will
surprise those who have heretofore
had no knowledge of the facts. Ger
tainly it is true that it is almost as
hard to pass a camel through the eye
of a needle, to use the biblical meta
phor, as to bring about the conviction
and execution of a man who takes hui
man life. Especially is this true if
the defendant is possessed of friends or
influence.
Maudlin, sentimental, silly people
have tendency to invest the brow of
the murderer with a sort of halo.
Flowers are sent to his cell before and
during trial and if. by some chance,
the Death penalty should be adjudged
against him, it is easy enough, after
the courts have been exhausted, to Sc
cure any number of signatures to pc
titions for his pardon, or for a modifi-
cation of the sentence. People are too
prone to forget the dead, to remember
only the living.
The law providing capital punish
ment for proved cases of murder
should either be repealed or enforced.
If it has no place on the statute books
let it be wiped out; if it has it should
be enforced. A great many splendid
people are opposed to capital punish
menT, and they make that an excuse
for coming to the rescue of murderers
who should be legally killed. They do
not seem to realize that they are in
terfering with a due process of law.
The Herald has no disposition to be
harsh. but it must insist that a lot of
valuable time is often wasted on behalf
of criminals of the most despicable
character. While we have law let us
carry its provisions into effect. Other
wise it becomes a mockery.

balls which carry the blows are of steel, with ratchets, main levers and castings of malleable iron. The wheels are of steel and run on steel axles- The hubs have boxes of chilled iron, which are renewable and add greatly to their wear. The sulky is made with an ad- unstable pole which enables the op- orator to regulate the width of furrow. By means of this feature, good work is made possible in blowing hillside land, as 1t is easy to maintain the full width of the furrows. The beam, Landslide and wheel always run in line, greatly Tightening the labor of the team. The furrow wheel moves ahead of the blow in proportion to the depth of furrow turned, preventing the earth from being thrown into the wheel. With each sulky is furnished neck yoke and two-horse whiffletree, wrench and oil can. They can be seen at Mir Mallett's store.
