Our former delegate to congress,
Bernard s. Rodey, who is now dis
trict attorney In Alaska, is visiting
old time friends in the state, and an.
nounces that he will be a candidate
for the United States senate when
New Mexico gets the direct primary.
He has a scheme for an improvement
In the assessing Of property. He
would have assessors elected as at
present, and after election would
have the governor transfer the asses
sors from county to county, so that a
nan would not assess the property In
the county where he was elected, but
In some other county, at least an
hundred miles away. This would do
away with all favoritism, give an i'm
partial assessment, and raise the as
sessment rolls all over the state.
Some scheme must be arranged To
raise these assessments, which are
VIGOROUSLY low In many counties of
the state.

work Of the ONCE, while Mr.. Agee
was busy at his banking business, and
IL IL understood that Mr.. Alexander's
monthly remuneration was $50, while
the balance Of the income from the
Office was Mr.. Agee's remuneration

Mr.. Downs election as treasurer MI.
Alexander has had entire charge Of
the Office, and In addition to the work
that was done when Agee was treas
urer, he has got out and advertised
The delinquent taxes. 1t Is under
stood that Mr.. Alexander draws from
Treasurer Downs the sum Of 500 per
month, and the difference between
that sum and the sum set by the leg
islature for the salary Of Grant coun-
ty treasurer Is the emolument Mr..
Downs will receive because he gather
ed In more votes than his opponent
at the last election. We are willing
to admit that such popularity is IN
titled TO some recognition, but is not
ESQ a month for 4s months a fair
recognition for popularity. or course

the work himself than hire It done he

The legislature meets next Monday,
and then trouble begins. One OF the
Important proposed laws is the one
providing for salaries for county Of
ncers. The Santa Fe Eagle last week
devoted considerable attention to the
subject. The Eagle, like the LIBERAL,
does not believe that any county Of
ice is more important, nor requires
more ability than any state ONCE;
that no state ONCE pays more than
5000 a year, and most OF them S3, 900.
The Eagle, thinks the county ofices
should be graded on a lower scale than
the state ofices, and would make
them about 1900, or less, which is
ample pay for the talent required for
q county office. The last legislature
liked the pay for county treasurer OF
Grant county at some S4,OOO, which Is
faF more than IL should be. During
the last year or so OF JGcksOns ARee's

Of the ONCE were entirely IN the hands

II in 1908 to ]. S. Brown, and did not
return It for taxation In 1909 nor in
1910. The assessor must have added
IL to the list, because he once did
own IL, but why he should switch It
TO another precinct Is a mystery. The
LIBERAL would be interested inRRow-
ing whether It isa violation OF any
law for an assessor to add to the tax
roll a piece Of land that waslhot
owned, nor returned by the man to
whom IL was assessed. There are
other things in connection with this
list Of delinquent taxes that look
queer, which the LIBERAL may he

Training the Japanese Child

According to Frances Little. author
of "The Lady Of the Decoration" and
1.-THE Lady and Sada SAM" Japanese
mothers violate many Of the theories
Of our modern child experts In an ar
ticle on 1.-THE Training of Japanese
Child" in the June Century, she says
that the typical Japanese baby Is an
absolute autocrat In the family to
which he comes. and his slightest wish
Is gratified the moment he expresses
1t. The little Oriental eats when and
what he wants, and makes no pretense
Of obedience. He 10 idolized by the en-
tire household. who think that every
thing he chooses to do Is right. Yet
this regime Of lawlessness seems to
agree with him, for he thrives and
grows fat. But as he grows older, he
Is gradually taught strict discipline
and dutiful respect for his elders.

her best success of the. season MAJ
be brought out tonight, in that eternal
and delightful musical drama, Il "a
TraYiata" of the immortal Verdi. o.
all the soprano parts Of the leading
operas ever written. That of ia TraT-

cult because it requires a variety Of
gifts and qualities which are very
rare'y found combined in one singer
Vicarino it is believed, possesses all
these gifts in a high degree and this
is why she makes of this opera, per-
haps her most perfect Interpretation.
- Violetta must be. a lively, coquet-
ish, frivolous and tickle creature il
the first act when, haFiRg passed
through different loves without hav-
ing yet found real love, laughs at aud
ridicules her lover, Alfredo; and be-
sides, her singing in the first act
must be accordingly very viyacious,
full of life and sparkling notes, Of all
sopranos it is written, very few can
do all this equal to Vicarino whose
first act in La Traviata," above all,
has ever been a triumph.
In the second act, when Alfredo's
father convinces her to forsake him;
and in the last act when sorrows and
consumption have entirely overtaken
the poor, frail creature, the soprano
who sings Violetta must be real
dramatic actress. Singing the role at
Havana more recently, Vicarino was
compared to the greatest soprano who
ever interpreted the role, for more
than once the Cuban opera enthusi-
asts had seen on the stage con-
sumptive Traviata as prosperous and
large as rubicund milk-maid Of the
Swiss hills.
