SIR ARCHIBALD eEIKE.

Sir Archibald Geikie, one Of the
most noted Of living biologists, was
born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Deem
Der q, 1885, and received his educa-
ton at the famous university in that
city. When twenty-one years OF age
he entered the geological survey, and
after twelve years work became di-
rector of the survey in Scotland. He
has held numerous important posi-
tons in the scientific societies in
Great Britain, and in 1892 was prest
dent OF the famous British association.
For several years now he has been
secretary to the Royal society. For
his practical work in geology and geo
graphy and for his numerous pubhca-
tons Sir Archibald Geikie has been
awarded numerous medals by organ
izations in Europe and America, and
only recently he was presented by
King Edward with the Order of the
Bath. He is perhaps best known to
students of science for his manuals
and text books on geology, which have
been translated into most European
languages. Sir LArchibald's younger
brother, DR.. James Geikie, is also a
geologist Of note, being dean of the
faculty of science in Edinburgh uni
versity.

PRoHIeITIoN IN 1908.

Through their literary bureau in
Chicago the leaders of the Prohibition
party are saying that they will make
bigger demonstration in 1908 than
they have done in any presidential
canvass along to this time Probably
they are correct in this boast Prohi-
bitjon has been making large gains in
the past few years. Statewide prohi-
bition carried Georgia. Alabama and
Oklahoma in 1907. It has, for years,
controlled in Maine, Kansas and North
Dakota Thus. three states in the
north and west and three southern
states, counting Oklahoma as a south
ern state, have liquor exclusion
throughout all their territory by state
enactment. In several times that
many states there is prohibition by
county or town action. Thus about
half of the area and a third of the
population of the country is dry"
But it is the anti-saloon league and
not the prohibition party which is
chiefly responsible for the big con
quests which liquor exclusion has
been making in recent times. The
league has no politics. 1t works as
effectively in democratic as in repub-
lican communities. It has done much
more in the south in recent times
than it has in the rest of the country.
More democrats are residing in dry
territory than republicans. All parties
look alike to the anti-saloon league.
That body is not saying that 1t viii
put up a ticket in 1908 In fact, its
work in the past few years shows
that it wants to keep out of politics
altogether, and do IT'S work inside
the lines Of the big parties, regard
less Of the label which they bear.
II the anti-saloon league keeps out
of the political field in 1908 the pro-
hibition vote may not be so large as
the leaders Of the latter party imag-
inc. A prohibition ticket has been In
the field in every presidential cam
paign since 1872, beginning with that
year. It made steady gain in the
popular poll until 1892. when Bidwen
had total of 2e4,OOo votes. The pro
hibitionists. like all the other parties,
small and large, had split in 1896.
Their vote decreased in that year.
but it has been steadily gaining since
thea. and was 25s.OOO in 1900. or 5000
less than in 1892. The growth in the
anti-liquor sentiment throughout a
large part of he country. in the past
few years has frightened both the ne
publican and democratic politicians.
and the coming prohibition convention
in Columbus, Chic. will attract far
more attention than any previous ma
tional gathering of that party com
manded.

HUGHES AND TAFT

Governor Hughes of New York
gains nothing by the turn of events
political which brings him. at this
time. conspicuously under the line
light which beats fiercely upon presi-
dental possibilities, says the st. Louis
Republic.
Assuming that ne has ali along been
the real choice Of at>element OF the
republican party which opposes the
Rooseveltian policies. he would have
Jared better If he had remained under
cover while the 'favorite sons" OF III
inois. Indiana and Pennsylvania were
holding out" the votes of their
states. and possibly others. from the
presidents favorite candidate.
Nobody belives that Cannon, Fair
hanL.- % Rnn~ has ~n~ A~nn~4~.in.. ~
winning the nomination. Mr.. Cannon
is too old, Mr.. Fairbanks is too cold,
while Mr.. Knox appeals not at all to
the masses of the republican party
in the country at large. Their only
function is to hold the delegations
from their own states until the time
comes in the republican national con-
vention to deliver them TO the chosen
candidate of the reactionaries.
But if the fight between Taft and
Hughes is to be forced into the open
thus early, the game of the favorite
sons is likely to be spoiled. Conced-
ing that they viii get the compliment
tary votes OF their own states on the
first few ballots in the convention
there. is danger that the delegations
viii be instructed for a second choice
IL the situation becomes such that
Taft and Hughes are the only candi-
dates having any real chance of get
ting the nomination. In Illinois and
Indiana, at least, the second choice
would undoubtedly be Taft in prefer
ence to Hughes.
The announcement by Mr.. Cortelyou
that he is not a candidate for anything
except the confidence of the American
people in his management of the
treasury gives Governor Hughes a
prominence that is dangerous His
tactical position would be better If the
final decision between himself and the
presidents choice for his successor
could have been postponed until June.

ration that he has never desired to
become governor he stated that it was
his belief that he could be more use

THE WEALTH OF
SANTA EE COUNTY.

We have it on the authority of the
SAINTS Fe New Mexican that the coun-
ty OF Santa Fe, in the territory of
New Mexico. has made wonderful
gains in assessable taxable wealth
during the last twelve months In
great scare headlines the New Mexi-
can proclaims that "a net increase of
over q million dollars is indicated in
the assessments of taxable property
this year in Santa Fe county, the to-
tai amount returned for taxable pur-
poses being ss,Ss3.O4L36, or almost
double what it was for the year 1906"
When We first read this announce
ment we felt proud Of the county
in which is located the seat of govern
ment of our neighbor territory. But
when we read further into this assess
ment article we became mystified and
bewildered.
Continuing the New Mexican says:
''The large gain in the tax assessment
this year is due largely to the fact
that county bonds and interest cou-
pons held in the county on judgments
have been assessed and this one item
according to the figures in the alb
stract of the tax rolls on file run up
TO 1925, 90S.4e." And the New Mex
lean further says that deducting the
assessments on account of these
bond and interest judgments there is
still an increase of over 100000.
1t is presumed that the assessed
judgments are those of the old bond
ed debt of the county which has been
fought for years in the courts and
which last year was stated TO amount
10 so per cent of the entire taxable
wealth of the county. If this presump-
ton is correct we submit that the
New Mexican has hit upon a novel
plan to advertise the rapidly growing
wealth of the county. If man has
farm worth $4,000 and owes a judg-
ment of $4,000 then he is worth $4,000.
According to this way of computing
the wealth of the county of Santa Fe
the New Marican makes ont clear
case of rapid advancement in the ao-
cumulation of taxable wealth. it does
more than that, it makes the credit
ors Of Santa Fe county liable for 80
per cent of the debt owed them and if
the county defers payment of the
debt as long in the future as it has
in the past it viii be able to wipe of
the obligation entirely at the ex-
pense of those who own the iudg-
ments, and that such a system of pay
ing debts is going some there will be
none to deny.
But there is another feature Of this
tax assessment which does not look
so good for Santa Fe county; accord
ing to the contention of the county
which has fought the bonded debt
through all the available courts in the
land this debt is void because of its
Illegal contraction, but the act of its
assessment is a virtual plea of guilty
as to its liability.
We are of the opinion that wall
street is not the only place where
there are to be found those who IN
derstand the art of "frenzied france"

Professional Snake Fighters.
I'm the Technical World Magazine.


Last year the number of men, women
and children who met a terrible death in
India from the bite Of poisonous snakes
amounted to %, 1897. Besides this there were
about $500 killed by wild animals-chiefy
tigers; to say nothing tbaut $1,000 cattle
Every conceivable measure has been taken
to mitigate this appalling annual destruc-
ton, but with little avail.
The venomous snakes Of India most de-
structive OF life may be placed in the fol-
lowing order: First of all comes the deadly
cobra, responsible for nearly nine-tenths
of the fatalities: and then the kriat kup-
pur, Russelrs viper. the hamadryas and
ra1-samp. The water snakes kill a good
many. as we shall see but they are COM
parattvely rare. A regular organized war
fare Is waged upon midas myriads Of rep
tiles. and In each district a regular head
tax is paid upon each cobra and other
snake killed.
Last year the number of snakes DESTROYED
was 762, 221, for which rewards amounting
to nearly $1,000 rupees were paid The
greatest destruction to life app, ars to have
been In Bengal. where 11,13l people were
killed, and nearly 1000 cattle In this
province alone 5o.054 poisonous snakes were
destroyed.
The officials charged with this curious
work were scattered over the whole vast
area from the Himalayas to southern
Madras, including Bombay provinces the
Northwest provinces and Oudh. the Pun
tab, Central provinces, Burma, Assam. Nv
