ldlt VIII HSked to Make Answer

! washington, Feb. e. Judge
Taft is going to be asked, short
ly after he becomes President to
do some house cleaning down in
New Mexico. This is said on au-
thorlty of a Senator who is a mem
Der of the committee on Terri
tories. This Senator added the
prediction that as soon as Judge
Taft could get around to this mat
ter there would not be a Rough
Rider holding an office in New
Mexico that is subject to the con-
troll of the President.
The plain inference is that Gov.
Curry will be asked to resign.
Gov. Curry is Rough Rider. 1t
was by reason of his martial dis
position at the outbreak of the
Spanish War that he came with
in the vista of President Roose-
welt. After the war he was sent
to the Philippines, where Judge
Taft made him Chief of Police of
Manila. 1t was while serving in
this capacity that Pres. Roosevelt
appointed him Governor of New
Mexico. Gov. Curry has affiliated
in a political way, with Bull An
drews, who is a Delegate in Con-
gress from New Mexico.
The testimony which the SEN
ate Committee on Judiciary has
gathered is said to be the most
startling and eliminating. 1T
shows that a syndicate has gob-
bled up several million acres of
the land which Congress gave the
Territory several years ago for
educational purposes, and that in
direct violation of law, counties
and municipalities have issued
bonds for promotion purposes
they hope to validate by
converting the territory into a
State. An agent of the Depart
ment OF Justice who was sent
down there to make an investiga-
tion has contributed amost sensa-
tional chapter to the volume of
evidence which the committee has
gathered. ~ l. ) >. orted that
the courts are easily made to de-
feat the ends Of justice and that
the political combination is so
powerful thatit is hopeless, under
conditions, to punish the
guilty. He cites one instance of
a member of a Grand Jury being
caught in the act of trying to
bribe others serving with him,
and asserts that when ne was
convicted he was punished mere
ly by the assessment of a fine OF
5000.
Senator Beveridge, it is under
stood, intends to press his resolu-
ton for a Senatorial investiga-
tions of conditions in New Mexico,
but in the meantime Judge Taft
will be asked to make complete
change of officers. The evidence
50 far taken by the Senate COM
nittee will be laid before him
early next week. Dallas News.

TEHGHERS
HEIR GOOD
PAPERS
Good attendance and Keen Inter-
est Mark Succussful Meeting
of Teachers

The Torrance county teacher
held a very interesting meeting
in our town last Saturday, Feb
ruary 27. Those in attendance
were: Misses Catherine Hill
Mary Lobb, Ola Gilbert, ArmeaC
Young, Cora Kelley, Leila McHan
Zella Roberts, Minnie Laws
Anna Collins, Belle Quinn, Mrs
Stella Palmer, Mrs. Edna Ford
Messrs. j. H. Crawford, w. V
Walls, w. R. Shelton and Supt
C. l.. Burt.
The reception Friday night by
the citizens of Estancia was well
attended. Though the number OF
teachers was small, the citizens
of the town were out in large
numbers, showing that our peo-
pie are awake to the great prob
lem of education, and ever ready
to show their appreciation and
extend a welcome to those who
are engaged in this grand and
noble cause.
The meeting on Saturday
morning was opened by singing
America" after which the in
vocation was spoken by Rev. j.
R. Carver. The regular program
was then taken up and disposed
of to the satisfaction of all pres
ent. The first subject STORY Tell
ing and it's Uses in the School
ROOM was very Interestingly
handled by the reading of two
papers by Miss Anna Collins and
Miss Armead Young. The next
subject "School Discipline" was
very ably discussed by Miss Ola
Gilbert and Mr.. w. V. Walls,
after which opinions in general
were given by various members.
Some held to the opinion that
the pupils could be controlled
best by having them understand
the object Of school and feel
that they make the school and
school government, the teacher
to be their helper, instead of
tyrannical master, while others
seemed to believe in the free
application of the barrel stave
and the 2x4." +"
The association next listened
to a very elaborate paper on the
subject Original Poems and
Stories" by Miss Zella Roberts,
This was decidedly the best
paper | ever heard on the sub
ject. 1t not only showed that the
writer was able to present the
subject clearly and forcibly, but
that she had applied this method
of teaching in her school work
advantageously.
The teacher to whom had been
assigned the subject How best
to develop Character in the
Pupil was not present, but the
subject was very fully discussed
by various members of the
association, Then followed two
very elaborate papers on the
subject How best to teach the
children What is going on in the
World" one by Miss Cathrine
Hill and one by ]. |. Ferguson.
The latter not being present, had
sent his paper to Supt. Burt, the
same being read and highly ap-
preciated.
The last paper of the day was
by Miss Belle Quinn on the sub |
ject, Busy Work" This was
an extraordinary paper from the
fact that it was based upon actual
experience of teaching in a
crowded school with absolutely |
no helps except those of her own
device. The regular program
was closed by recitation given
by Miss Armead Young, which |
was we'll delivered and proved a
treat, after the busy day having |
been spent in discussing the |
problems of the teacher.
