The New Court House.
lSanta Rosa SUM-

The new court house was ac-
cepteu and received by the COM
missioners on Tuesday. Presu-
mably it was according to contract
or it would not have been so
accepted and received. So far as
we are concerned, we have no
comments to make.
One don't have to go far, how
ever, to hear lot of fault found,
not only with the building there
of, but particularly with the
finishings, little things that one
always see, the stairways for
instance; it is said they look as
if they had been in use for ten
years, and there are many other
faults found with other parts of
the building, the floors are badly
cracked IN many places and not
solid.
1t is thought by some that
there were too many of our own
people helping to get it off the
hands of the contractors, who
would not have been so anxious
with a $751; COO contract Of their
own.
The building will probably an
swer all required purposes until
Guadalupe county shall have out
grown it and require larger
quarters.

Let The Truth Be Told.

New Mexican Review
There is destitution among the
homesteaders in portions of the
Estancia valley and in parts of
Eeastern New Mexico. There
are appeals for help, pitiful and
heart-rending that are coming in
increasing numbers to the exec
utive office in Santa Fe. There
are also petitions signed by whole
sections, asking the government
to step in and save families from
starvation. There are families
housed in one room shacks dot
ted over the dry mesas who do
not know where the next meal is
to come from or where to get the
rags to cover them during the
winter. This is deplorable. Gov
enor Curry is setting to work
every agency that he can reach
and will within a few days dis
patch A. T. Koch, a special rep
resentative, to the Estancia val
ley to investigate conditions.
Who is to blame? No one in
particular. The lure of the West,
the desire to own a home appeal
ed to many who had heard of
New Mexico's free lands, of its
fine climate, of its productive
ness, and they came. They Sc
lected land as they would in the
East, land that sloped right,
land that was fertile; that looked
promising in the sunshine of fall
or winter. They did not know
that there are vast areas in New
Mexico where the average rain
fall is not sufficient to raise crops
every year with scientific or any
other kind of farming, where
irrigation alone will carry crops
over May and June. Nor did
they know that there are vast
areas where the rainfall is gen

orally sufficient to raise such
crops as are adapted to the eli
mate and the soil and the COM
parative shortness of the growing
season. Those whose selected
lands in those sections and de-
pended upon the first years crop
to establish them, have failed
miserably this year for May and
June were pittilessly dry.
Then again there were settlers
who made their homes on good
dry farming lands but expected
to raise crops by merely sticking
the seed in the soil, possibly of
some crop needing lots of mois-
ture, and sitting idly by to watch
it grow. They had made no
effort to store the moisture by
fall and winter plowing, by har-
rowing in spring, by cultivation
after each rain. They too, are
disappointed and if they came
without means to tide them over
winter and next spring, they too
are in a bad fix, but the blame is
partly with themselves. Kansas
and Nebraska went through this
same experience and New Mexi-
co cannot escape it.
Then there are a considerable
number who made good; who
settled in sections that had suffi-
cient rains for crop this year;
or who by scientific farming car
ried their crops over the drouth;
or who have bought land in irri-
gated districts; or who pumped
water; or who took up land near
growing towns and disposed Of
them at a good figure; or who
relinquished their homestead at
good prices. 1t is to be feared
that the speculative element en-
tered into the coming of many a
home seeker, but like a lottery,
the prizes are few and far
between.
This is not saying that New
Mexico is not a land for the
homeseeker. There are millions
of acres to be had free that with
the proper cultivation or by using
the proper means can be reclaim
ed to make splendid homes for
thousands of people, but New
Mexico is not Illinois. The land
to be cultivated must be properly
chosen, it must be scientifically
treated. Water is essential for
raising crops and water must be
conserved and procured somehow
for the clouds do not yield it in
sufficient quantity at the right
time except during exceptional
years. The selection of crops,
the farming, therefore, must be
scientific, where possible it should
be supplemented by irrigation
from resiviors or pumps. Spec
ulation without means is a haz-
ardous game on New Mexico
farms, just as it is elsewhere.
In the meantime, the people of
New Mexico are face to face with
an unpleasant situation. They
must relieve those in actual need;
they must enable those who de-
sire to leave the Territory because
of crop failure to do so; they
must tide over those who desire

SATURDAY, AUGUST q
The Revising OF The
Catholic Bible.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
1t is well known that through
out Catholic Christendom since
the time of Gregory the Great
the authorized version of the
Scriptures has been the Vulgate,
or Latin translation of the Old
and New Testaments, originally
made by St. Jerome near the
close of the fourth century of our
era. The edition of this version
which is now sanctioned is the
Clementine, published in 1888,
after a revision had occupied
forty years. 1t was hoped that
a good deal of aid might be
derived from this latest from of
the Vulgate at the time when a
revision of the King James vers-
ion of the Scriptures, authorized
TO be used in the Church Of
England, was undertaken by
English and American scholars.
A disappointment, however, was
experienced, as even the Clemen-
tine text of the Vulgate was
found to be corrupt or untrust-
worthy.
Taking cognizance of the
imperfections of the Catholic
Bible the present Pope determin-
ed to correct them. In May, 1907
he committed the task of revis-
ing the Vu'gate to the Order of
the Benedictines, and to that end
a commission was appointed with
Abbot Gaspuet, president of the
English Benedictines, at its head
The object of the, commission,
according to the Pores definite
instructions, is to as certain and
restore as far as possible the
original text of st. Jerome's
Latin translation. How far St.
Jerome's translation itself repre-
sents the Hebrew of Greek
originals is another question,
which may be a subject for future
critic,sma Id another commission.
For the moment the task is its
accurate reproduction.
The difficulties to be dealt with
will be appreciated when we
recall those which had to be
surmounted even fifteen CENTURIES
ago. When Pope Damascus
employed jerome to revise the
Latin Bible there was already a
confusion of rival versions,
conspicuous among which was
so-called 'Itala. Jerome, how
ever, he'd advantages which are
not possessed today. He could
compare dozens of ancient texts
for one that is now in existence.
Then again, he had before him
the ''Hexaplar" of Oaigen, which
represented not the Septnagint
in a state to which we can never
hope to restore it, but the literal
Greek translations of Aquila,
Theodotion and Symmachus.
of which we have only fragments.
1t is further to be noted that
scarcely had Jerome's translation
been completed than it began
itself to fall into corruption, be-
cause it was received with scant
favor by people accustomed to
the old versions, especially in
the liturgy, and at the most 1t
was current side by side with
The more familiar "Itala" until
Gregory the Great intervened
and ordered Jerome's translation
v be generally used except in the
Psalter. Nor was it until 1893
that an authentic" version of
the Vulgate was published by
Clement VIII.
{ There is no doubt that the
revising of the Clementine text
of the Vulgate is now being
