STATEHOOD

I advocate the immediate admission of New
Mexico and Arizona states This should be
done at the present session of the congress.
The people of the two territories have made
it evident by their votes that they will not
come in as one state. The only alternative is
to admit them as two, and 1 trust that this
will be done without delay.
I call the attention of the congress to the
Importance of the problem Of the fisheries in
the interstate waters, On the Great lakes we
are now, under the very wise treaty of April
II of this year, endeavoring to come to an
international agreement for the preservation
and satisfactory use OF the fisheries Of these
waters which not otherwise be achieved.
Lake Erie. for example. has the richest fresh
water fisheries in the world; but 1t is now
controlled by the statutes of two nations,
four states and one province, and in this
province by different ordinances in different
counties. All these political divisions work at
cross purposes and in no case can they achieve
protection to the fisheries, on the one hand,
and justice to the localities and individuals on
the other. The case is similar in Puget sound.
But the problem is quite as pressing in the
Interstate waters Of the United States The
salmon fisheries Of the Columbia river are now
but fraction of what they were twenty-five

to form; and II Is lost forever, and until the
forests grow again 1t cannot be replaced The
sand and stones from the mountain sides are
washed loose and come rolling down to cover
the arabic lands, and In consequence, through
out this part of China, many formerly rich
districts are now sandy wastes, useless for
human cultivation and even for pasture The

northeastern China. The level of the Sungari
river in northern Manchuria has been sensihly
lowered during the last fifty years. at least
partly as the result OF the indiscriminate cut
ting Of the forests forming its watershed. AL
most all the rivers of northern China have
become uncomfortable and very dangerous TO
the jewellers along their banks, as a direct
result of the destruction Of the forests. The
journey from Peking to Jehol shows In melan-
choly fashion how the soil has been washed
away from whole valleys, so that they nave
been converted into deserts.

EDUCATION

The share that the national government
should take in the broad work Of education
has not received the attention and the care it
rightly deserves. The immediate responsible
ity for the support and improvement of our
educational systems and institutions rests and
should always rest with the people of the
several states acting through their state ana
local governments, Rut the nation has an op-
portunity In educational work which must not
be lost and duty which should no longer be
neglected.
The national bureau of education was es-
tablished more than forty years ago. Its pur-
pose is to collect and diffuse such information
''as shall aid the people of the United states
in the establishment and maintenance of ef-
ficient school systems and otherwise promote
the cause of education throughout the coun-
try" This purpose in no way conflicts with
the educational work of the states, nut may
be made of great advantage to the states by
giving them the fullest, most accurate, and
hence the most helpful information and sug-
gestion regarding the best educational sys-
TENS. The nation through its broader neld
of activities, its wider opportunity for Cd
tanning information from all the states ana
from foreign countries, is able to do that
which not even the richest states can do, and
with the distinct additional advantage that the
information thus obtained is used for the I'M
mediate benefit of all our people.
I earnestly recommend that this unfortunate
state Of affairs as regards the national eau
cational office be remedied by adequate APP
propriations This recommendation is urged
by the representatives of our common schools
and great state universities and the leading
educators, who all unite in requesting FAVOR
able consideration and action by the congress
upon this subject.
I strongly urge that the request Of the di-
rector of the census in connection with the
decennial work so soon TO be begun De com
piled with and that the appointments to the
census force be placed under the civil service
law, waving the geographical requirements as
requested by the director of the census. me
Supervisors and enumerators should not be
appointed under the civil service law for the
reasons given by the director. 1 commend TO
the congress the careful consideration of the
admirable report of the derector of the CEN
sus. and 1 trust that his recommendations Will

PUBLIC HEALTH

1t is highly advisable that there should be
intelligent action on the part Of the nation on
the question OF preserving the health of the
country Through the practical extermina-
ton in San Francisco of diseased bearing ro-
dents country has thus far escaped the
bubopic plague This is but one Of the many
achievements of American health officers and
it shows what can be accomplished with
better organization than at present exists The
dangers to public health from food adutera-
ton and from many other sources, such as the
menace to the physical, mental and moral
development of children from child labor,
should be met and overcome. There are nu-
merous diseases which are now known TO be
preventable which nevertheless not pre-
vented. The recent International Congress on
Tuberculosis has made us painfully aware OF
the inadequacy of American public health
legislation. This nation cannot afford to lag
behind in the worldwide battle now being
waged by all civilized people with the micro
scopic foes of mankind, nor ought we longer
to ignore the reproach that this government
takes more pains to protect the lives of hogs
and of cattle than of human beings. The first
legislative step to be taken is that for the
concentration of the proper bureaus into one
of the existing departments. 1 therefore
urgently recommend the passage of bill
which shall authorize a redistribution of the
bureaus which shall best accomplish this end.
recommend that legislation be enacted
placing under the jurisdiction of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor the government
printing office. At present this office is under
the combined control supervision and admin
istrative direction of the president and of the
joint committee on printing of the two houses
of the congress. The advantage Of having the
1863 employees in this office and the expendi-
ture of the 1851 3T.57 appropriated therefor
supervised by an executive department is
obvious, instead of the present combined SUI
pervision.
All soldiers homes should be placed under
the complete jurisdiction and control Of the
war department
Economy and sound business policy require
that all existing Independent bureaus and
commissions hsould be placed under the ju-
risdiction of appropriate executive departments.
1t is unwise from every standpoint and results
only in mischief to have any executive work
done save by the purely executive bodies, I'M
der the control of the president; and each such
executive body should be under the immediate
supervision of cabinet minister.

ical issues of the day, and a rehear-
sal of the causes leading up to the
war which brought liberty to the

enjoying all the privileges of the
white American citizen. The senator

approval Of the large audience.

The Republican and Democratic
county conventions of Esmeralda
county were held in Goldfeld Tues
day, full county tickets being nomi-
mated by both parties. Both conven-
lions were practically devoid of local
interest.
The platform adopted by the Re-
publican convention carried out the
steadfast Republican policy of pro-
lection for the labor interests, and
contained a few nice words anent
our Democratic brethren. Part of the
platform reads as follows:
I'VE denounce in unmeasured
terms the mal-administration of DEM
ocratic Office holders in failing to en-
force the laws and to properly con-
serve the interests of the people as a
whole. We believe that the consti-
tuition of this state, subject to the
provisions of the national constitu-
ton, is the paramount law. We,
therefore, condemn the maintenance
of any state militia, whether called
militia or police, of which the COVER
nor is not the commander in chief.
We are opposed to the pernicious in
reference of the state in local and
county affairs and we feel assured that
Republican county officials will be
amply able to carry on their duties
without outside assistance.
I'VE condemn Democratic extrava-
gance and the wasteful misuse of
county funds, particularly in main
tanning a large number of useless
subsidiary office holders for the sole
purpose, it would seem, of perpetual.
ing the party in power. We squarely
announce ourselves for an economic
administration of county affairs, and
for fair distribution of public i'm
provements throughout the county
and to all parts of our towns. We
further favor such reforms as will de.
crease the present prohibitive rate Of
taxation prevailing in our county"

two conventions are as follows:
