CHARITY THAT DOES
PERMANENT GOOD.

Miss Anita Moore, of st. Louis, in
a recent address before the Missouri
immigration Association, said:
Here, then, is the problem for the
ph~ilanthropic people to solve. Insead
of giving all of their money to cAari-
ty IN the cities, either personally OF
through organizations, let them help
these people TO go back to nature.
The charity that simply supplies the
immediate material needs of a man
is not worthy of the name. II robs

zels; it will enable them not only to
exist, but to prosper; will help them
to educate their children in the excel
ent schools which are provided in
every town and hamlet, and will add

RHETORIC AND OTHER THINGS

Former President Cleveland still
has 'em all beaten on long sentences.
In the Chicago speech printed in yes
terday's Daily Record there was one
sentence containing 153 words-and
we believe this exceeds even his own
previous record. Then there was one
sentence of 81 words, and several of
forty to fifty words. The cleareSt and
most forcible sentence of all was a
comparatively short one, as follows:
1T is only partisan impudence that
condemns a member of a political
party, who. on proper occasion, sub
mits it's conduct and the loyalty to
principle of its leaders to a court
over which his conscience, his rea-
son. and his political understanding
preside"
THEORETICALLY even that sentence
might be strengthened by eliminating
a redundant paranthetical phrase
but it expresses a thought that is
taking hold on the minds of h
American people and moving them
as never before to beware of band
wagon politicians. The people are be-
ginning to know what they want. and

TELL THEM The truth.

1t is not the simple and ilIiterate
natives, but the cunning and charac-
terless politicians who are responsible
for the corruption of Territorial gov
eminent. The natives have been de-
eived and fiattered long enough. 1t
is time for them to learn the respon-
sibilities of American citizenship and
free themselves from slavery to po-
Iitical bosses. They nave the power
and the capacity to prove New Mexi-
CO worthy of statehood. Their further
degradation is Inevitable unless they
prepare to meet the conditions and re
s~ponsibilities imposed by the growth
and progress of the Territory, and
join h forces of good government.
They were here first and have the
first right to hare in the prosperity
and development of the rich
of the Territory. But they should
not be deceived, or deceive them
selves, into the belief that the ma
jority of American voters do not
place purity of the ballot and honest
government above party. OF that bu-
siness competition will grant them
any consideration saw on their
merits.

the following statement concerning
the work OF the county s~uperintend-
emit
One of the secrets of success in
the work of a school superintendent
is to keep things moving, the people
interested, and the teachers inspired.
AS soon as the superintendent gets
tired, everybody stops work. The com
munity, the Board of Education, the
teachers, n the pupils generally
move at ais pace. He sets the step,

bearer. As the superintendent so are
the schools. All sorts of things can
De done to keep from getting old and
going stale as they say in football
circles. In fact all that is necessary
is to be alive, to be worth the money.
to really care to think about the bu-
siness, and to sit up night planning
for the next day. 1t requires energy
to do it n thereby hangs the diff
erence between a superintendent that
is worth while and one that hereby
holds Office"
Anyone who makes the statement,
honestly that the County Su~perinten-
dent need be a man of business ability
only, proves conclusively his woeful
misconception of the wor of this i'm
portant Office. The efficient county
superintendent knows the detail of
the school work as definitely as the
successful superintendent of mining
operations knows the detail of min
ing.
