THOUGHTS FOR THINKERS

It is good to remind ourselves
occasionally of progress in human
thought and knowledge. We do
not always realize the encouraging
fact that men are growing all the
time, getting rid of their sup
erstitions, replacing savage fears
and emotions with actual know
ledge.
When a man today has new
idea and announces it, he is at
tackled often. And often he is
discouraged, but he ought not to
be. Always the truth has been at
first laughed at, then adopted and
added to mans possessions. We
get knowledge as babies get their
teeth, painfully, fretfully-we are
glad to use the teeth.
1t is difficult for us to realize
that once the world was ruled alb.
solutely by distorted superstitious
brains that believed in the power
Of the hell BROTH" in the witches
mummy and all the rest of it.
Old Daniel Ludwig, only little
more than 200 years ago, pub
lished paper on useless and
Worthless Drugs" He was called
an irreligious, sacrilegious, icono-
elastic monster, because he denied
the medical value of earthworms
and toads, and said they couldn't
cure anybody.
Progress keeps on, evolution,
discussion and thought are freeing
the brains of men, which is far
more important than the freeing
Of their bodies. The earth does
move upward in spiral, the hu.
man race moves and knowledge
progresses.
Bigotry and superstition, the
fear Of the power in "a baboon's
blood nonsense, is gradually dy-
ing out, and clear intellect is com.
ing into its own.-Chicago Ameri-
can.

THE NEW RAILROAD

The San Luis e. Southern rail.
road now has headquarters at
Blanca. This is the point where
the new railroad now being con-
structed south through the Costilla
Estate connects with the Denver
L. Rio Grande, and large num-
Der of men with teams are now
busy constructing the roadbed for
this new railroad. Four miles of
grade have been finished, and it
will be but a short time until this
part Of the work will be completed
to the new town of San Acacio,
which is located on the Culsbrs
river in the Costilla Estate.
That the San Luis T. Southern
railroad will be extended on south
through Toas county, New Mexico
to Santa Fe, 10 the opinion Of
everyone who 10 in any way famil.
lar with the situation.

FIFTY MEN

Some fifteen years ago Chaun.
cey NJ. Depew, then president Of
the New York Central and major
domo of the Vanderbilts, and now
United States senator, made the
following statement:
Fifty men in these United
States have it in their power, by
reason Of the wealth which they
control, to come together within
twenty.four hours and arrive ut an
understanding by which every
wheel Of trade and commerce may
be stopped from revolving, every
avenue Of trade blocked. and every
electric key struck dumb. Those
fifty mon can paralyze the whole

BIDS FOR NEW BATTLEsHIPs.
Contractors Interested in Construc-
ton of 26,OOO-Ton Vessels.

Considerable interest is shown i'm the
competition for the construction of the
new 26,ON-ton hattleships, bids for which
are to be opened at the Navy Depart
ment next Wednesday. 1t is probable that
bids will be confined to the Cramps. the
Fore River Company, the New York Ship
building Company and the Newport News
Company No bids are looked for from
the Pacific coast.
Secretary Never and his associates At
the Navy Department arc considering
recommendations from the naval general
board and other sources as to the num-
ber and type of ships to be recommended
to Congress at the coming session. The
department has been urged TO recommend
the construction of al least two battle
ships. several destroyers and four sub
marines. 1t is probable, however, that
Secretary Meyer will limit his recon-
menda tons to two battleships of great
displacement and heaviest battery.
1t has been intimated that the general
board favors two battleships of 3O.OOO tons
displacement with twelve 14-nch guns.
It is estimated that vessels of the type
suggested, having the same speed and
endurance as the 26,O00-tOn battleship.
would cost about $12O00.O00 each. The
question of the type of new vessels will
not be finally considered. however, until
after the return to this city in the fall of
President Taft and Secretary Meyer.
