The ARTESIAN BELT is a
new paper launched at San Sim
on station on the Ell Paso &
Southwestern Road. This is the
new artesian belt which is now
booming and attracting attention
as a coming farming section. MIR.
Renick White, editor and pro-
prietor, of the PARADISE REC
ORD has moved his plant to San
Simon and launched the BELT a
most creditable weekly journal,
and which will do much towards
bringing that artesian belt into
notice and development.
Mr.. White has conducted the
RECORD at Paradise, a dry min
ing camp which has come and
gone at times, for several years
which was surely an uphill busi-
ness. We trust that the real
paradise" will prove only a few
miles from the above mentioned
mining camp.

GRADY AND THE CLEARING HOUSE

The weak and foolish report Of the Su.
perintendent of Banks on the Clearing
House was apparently just what Grady
wanted So. he follows II up with a bill
forbidding state banks and trust COM
panies TO become members of the Clear
ing House Association So absurd a bill
and one so inimical to the best interests
If banking in this state and TO those Of
bank depositors might under ordinary
conditions be passed over as beneath no
tice. but under the conditions now pre-
vailing at Albany it is precisely the
worst legislation that is most certain Of
getting through the Legislature and that
is by no means the least certain of being
signed by the Governor
The aim Of the Grady blu is TO club the
Clearing House into accepting the Grady
standard Of reserves embodied In the
bills recently passed and signed reduc-
ing the amount Of reserves which state
banks and trust companies must keep In
their vaults. If the bill should become
n law II might undo what has been ac.
cNnpllsned Tor better ana safer banking
through the recent entrance Of the trust
companies into the Clearing House And
supposing the courts should uphold a law
which forbade banks TO conduct their
business with greater regard for safety
than that provided by the minimum
which tho statute required. IT would
equally stand in the way of the entrance
of state banks and trust companies into
the reserve associations which will he
created when the Aldrich plan or its
substantial equivalent is enacted into
law by Congress. For 1t is not to be
supposed that the trainers Of the plan TO
reform the banking and monetary sys-
tenn of the country will pay any atten-
ton TO the Grady theory of reserves.

AGAINST COHNTSSION GOrERN
HENT

Commission government does not seem,
after all. to be as much in favor in
temporarily and progressive
New Jersey as II was supposed TO he.
The present score Of municipalities
which lave voted upon it is one for and
three against. Perhaps we might count
out Bayonne. as too nearly a tie TO he
reckoned as having given any significant
expression Of preference Then the
score stands one for and two against,
all three by heavy mAjorities.
1t is not surprising that HOboken
voted against the new scheme, for that
municipality is much under machine
rule. and the machines ~ beth parties
worked efficiently against the commits
sion proposal. But the result in New
Brunswick is unexpected. and is decid-
eddy suggestive of the suspicion that
even men Of light and leading, in college
communities. even the voters from the
campus, are not ms hot for the new
plan as some persons have represented.
1t also seems to indicate that the exam
pie OF the state capital was not as pow
erful as it was expected TO be-
Indeed. it Is conceivable that the ex-
ample Of Trenton has actually initiated
against the commission scheme. because
OF the Wild rush for commissionerships

candidates for commissionerships in the

4 NEW POINT or We ".

II is TO he hoped that the Legislature
Of Georgia will order an investigation Of
the double lynching which occurred in
that state on Tuesday. Responsibility
for failure 10 protect two negro prisoners
who were awaiting trial seems 10 he
somewhat divided. II is reported that
Governor Brown offered 10 furnish
troops 10 guard one Of the victims and
had ordered ont the militia previously
when the same defendant was summoned
into court. The trial was postponed.
and on the defendants second appear
the Governors offer. having already
shown that lie did not want his court
put under military guard The judge
now hlames the Sheriff and the Sheriff
blames the judge. II the Legislature
calls them both 10 account If will be a
welcome sign that public opinion is no
longer willing to tolerate the sort Of
official negligence which makes such
lynchings possible.
1t is significant that the Supreme
Court of Alabama recently removed from
Office n Sheriff who failed TO protect a
prisoner from mob violence. The court
unanimously held that he had fallen
short In the performance Of his sworn
duty and had permitted the dignity OF
the judicial establishment TO be out
ragged. That stand was In line with the
precedent SGT by the Supreme Court Of
the United States, which imposed a
prison sentence on the Sheriff Of Hamil-
ton County. Tenn. for not using due
diligence in protecting the life Of a pris
oner whose appeal from a sentence Of
death was pending at Washington
When the Sheriff got out Of the District
Of Columbia Jail and went home to
Chattanooga he was received at the rail
road station by an minimizing crowd as
hero
But the Supreme Courts example has
struck in IT Is not so popular as II once
was for local officials to sit back and
see a prisoner Iynched with n shrug Of
resignation, II not Of relief. Governor
Harmon removed Mayor and Sheriff
in Newark. Ohio. for not trying 10 check
a mob bent on lynching. II now de-
wolves on Georgia TO show that II is not
behind Ohio and Alabama In insisting
upon performance Of their duties by
officials charged with the care Of pris-
oners There will be fewer lyncbings
when such officials realize that they must
pay the penalty If they fail TO do their
utmost TO uphold the ma jesty of the law.

THE EASIEST NAY.

When the time comes TO elect dele
gates TO the Republican National Con-
Nention those who oppose President
Taft's denomination will probably be say
ing. without much effort TO produce the
proofs, that his ability TO muster a ma
jority in the convention rests upon his
control If the federal patronage. A SINH
lar charge was made in 1908. when the
Roosevelt administration supported Mr.
Taft: in 1904. when Mr. Roosevelt was
nominated. and in many earlier cam
paigns when a President has either been
renamed or has sought 10 influence the
selection Of q successor. Senator Bourne.
OF Oregon. has suggested two remedies
Tor what he considers n serious evil in
the present system Of naming Presiden-
TIA candidates first. the election of all
delegates directly by the voters. and.
second, the Withdrawal Of the Presidents
power TO appoint collectors Of customs.
fostmasters. surveyors. registers of land
offices, sub-treasurers. immigration com
nissioners and other federal officials
whose duties are more or less of local
character.
II seems TO be Mr.. Bournes idea that
such officers should be named by the
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gross from the states IN which they per
form their duties. Senator Bacon. Of
Georgia, recently made the suggestion
that all poStmasters should he elected by
the communities which they serve. thus
becoming local instead of federal agents
and losing their personal interest in ma
-tional politics. But these remedies are
more or less impracticable. because they
would involve serious diminution If
the Executives constitutional prerog,,-
fives. II ii is desirable TO get the fed
eral officers Of the middle grades out of
party politics. why not apply a simpler
remedy, which has already been useI
with good eject in dealing with federal
Offices Of the lower grades?
President Taft has told Congress that
he would gladly extend the projections
and limitations Of the merit system 10
postmasters Of the second and third
classes. consular officers, collectors of III
ternal revenue. marshals and other ap-
poiutees IL Congress would dispense with
the present requirement OF confirmation
ny the Senate. Were such officers to be
Included In the classified civil service
they would be enjoined from partisan
activities and would, in fact. have no
direct personal motive for seeking cleo
fion as delegates to national conventions
or for aiding In the election of others.
BY gradual extensions Of the principle "
tenure during good behavior and of
abstention from parfisanship the scope
o. the civil service law has been so ell
1arged as to cover more than two-thirds
Of the places now IN the gift Of the gov
eminent. OF the 100000. or more now

THE ALTERNATIVES.

Already voices are being raised in
favor of the city's building the tribor-
ough subway line in preference to reach
ing an agreement with the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. Whatever in
fluence the marlborough company may
b, able to exercise will probably he di-
rected toward that end. That seems 10
be the object Of its poster campaign
against the Brooklyn company. Its in
terest is plain. If the city should CON
struct the triborough subway the en-
trance Of the Brooklyn company into

triboroughs subway would occupy part
If Broadway which the Brooklyn company
wants. and when the city came to seek
A., operator for the triborOugh system

competitors as q bidder. \ campaign

the Brooklyn company is vastly to be
preferred to the construction Of the tri

The Brooklyn plan. with these added
parts. constitutes not triborough but

that was best of the triborough plan to-
gether with additional routes which i'm

subways with the already existing ele
waited system in Brooklyn. thus increas
ing their capacity to serve the public
The triborough system would not dis
tribute the Brooklyn traffic In Manhat-
tan. unless, of course. the Brook n
Rapid Transit Company should he the
successful bidder for it when the city
sought an operator. The distribution of
the Brooklyn traffic is an important fac
tor. 1t will save the Brooklyn public
several millions a year in carfdres. The
Interborough company's estimate is that
a Brooklyn Rapid Transit subway in
Broadway will cut the Interborough rev
enues S5.OOOOO0 year.
The city should therefore seek to
reach an agreement with the Brooklyn
company for the operation Of all the sub
ways which it now proposes to build No
unimportant detail in regard TO terms
should be permitted TO stand in the way.
The city should not drive a hard bar
gain. and the complaint Of both com
panies which were invited to build
that the terms were exactirg deserves
the consideration Of the city authori-
ties.
