Mcdonald and state Engineer James
A. French gave assurance today that
the state would do its part in the
reconstruction of the highway from
Santa Re to Taos although they would
fix no time for the work to com
mence. Much will depend on the
promptness of Santa Fe, Rio Arriba
and Taos counties. furnishing their
quota of the funds which are to be
one-half Of the amount needed. Santa
Fe county is ready to cooperate and
therefore, Engineer French believes
that the portion of the road in Santa
Fe county will be undertaken this
year. In Taos county the authorities
have placed part Of the road in shape
but Rio Arriba county has thus far
not done anything.

THE OFFER OF MEDIATION

Prominent members of the admins
tration are naturally skeptical as to
any good results from the proposal
to mediate between the United States
and Mexico, says the Kansas City
Journal. The offer of the Brazilian.
Chilean and Argentine governments
to use their good offices in bringing
about an amicable adjustment Of diff
ferences probably could not be refus-
I'd without ipterpahonal "lmpolite-
ness, but there is no reason for be-
lieving that any good will come Of it.
The fact that the mediators are not
only Latins but are vitally interested
in the maintenance Of Latin prestige
in the western hemisphere Is in itself
signifiuant, If not suspicious. Accept
-ance Of the offer might prove this
country's friendship for the other Lar
ton republics. But terms formulated
by representatives Of nations SO close
" allied to Mexico by blood and self
interest as are Brazil. Chile, and Ar
gentina are not likely to be any too
favorable to the UnfEed States.
Huerta is reported in the dispatch
90 to have disarmed British subjects
on account Of their "blood affinity
with Americans. What shout the

NEW MEXICAN DISCOVERS
MCDONALD

The santa Fe New Mexican at last
has discovered" Governor Mcdonald. |
zfter having been his warm supporter
for two years it has been declared
"misrepresenter," a ''garbler7 and 9th
er naughty names BY the chief exc
cutiye of the state.
1t all came about in this manner
On Saturday, in addressing the demo
cratic state central committee, the gov
ernor paid his compliments to the
persons who have criticised his policy
In regard to taxation reforms in this
state. The New Mexican published
the governors speech rather fully,
taking care to be accurate. The gov
ernor, when he saw his remarks in
cold type, got cold feet, as he so
often has done before, and, calling up
an Albuquerque newspaper by tele-
Iphone, stated that he had been mis-
quoted in Santa Fe.
The New Mexican after showing
that the governor had not been mis-
quoted to any greater extent than a
few minor inaccuracies, had the fol.
lowing to say yesterday evening in
an editorial:
With all due respect to the august
office Of governor Of New Mexico the
New Mexican wishes to state emphat-
ieally again that the report was cor
rect and that the governor was not
misrepresented. In regard to the man
ner in which the governor sought TO
change the impression created by that
report. if 1t We're in the case of any
one else we would not hesitate to sd
that itlEhowed gross discourtesy and
egregious ill-breeding.
The governor has on all occasions
received distinguished consicaration
from this newspaper; it has been en-
tirely friendly to his policies and has
never failed in the utmost courtesy
where his wishes were concerned.
His action under the circumstances
Is the more surprising and cannot but
prove painful to his friends.
"The governor has never yet made
an important public speech or state
ment to- which he has stood up when
t appeared in print, He has rarely
been quoted In a newspaper but what
he set up cry Of Misrepresentation.
'The impossibility of securing a
statement for which the governor will
stand is strilingly demonstrated by
his statement today that he was mis-
quoted in his statement to the Morn
Ing Journal yesterday, the governor
declaring that he did not use the
term grossly inaccuraIe'
When asked for specifications this
morning the governor declared that
he had said political pirates and tax
dodgers instead Of towards ana tax
dodgers using the word .cowafas
IL another connection; that he, did not
say he read 40 to so newspapers a day.
lbut merely that he read that many in
some period not stated; that he didnv
imply that newspapers didn't tell the
truth, but that taxpayers were guilty
Of that offense; and that Il was the
pirates and not the taxdodgers with
whom decent men ought not to asso-
ciate.
4 In other words when pinned down

nothing but the meFeat trivialIties.

IMPROVEMENT in.
AN IMPORTANT
DEPARTMENT
NoRMAL's DOMESTIC SCIENCE
EQUIPMENT ORDERED
DOUBLED

At a meeting of the board Of re-
gents of the New Mexico Normal Uni
versity last night. it was decided to
make some improvements in the domes
tic science department. These we're
declared necessary in view of the in
crease in size of the enrolment and
the expected large attendance at the
summer school.
The board decided that the capacity
OF the department. should be doubled.
This will make it possible to accomo-
date 80 pupils at class The domes-
tic science department will be the
largest and most complete in any in
stitution in dhe state.
1t was decided that Miss Anne
George, the capable instructor who
has been at the head OF the depart
ment for several years, should be fur
nished with an assistant to be select
ed from the student body, DR.. Rob
erts. the president. has not decided as
to who this assistant shall be, but will
make his selection soon.
! TO instruct the young ladies who
are taking lessons in the art Of cook
ing yith electrical apparatus, the
board decided to install eight electric
bake ovens and a complete set OF
utensils. Due to the fact that cleo.
tricity is proving not only the easiest
eleanest, but in many ways the most
economical means Of cooking. this ad
dition to the Normal domestic science
department will be decidedly bene
ficial to all the students The Las
Vegas Light and Power company fur
Inishes free to the Normal the curren
used in the domestic science depart
ment for cooking purposes.
In the sewing class OF this depart
ment, the board likewise decided t
double the equipment as the numbe
of students interested in this worl
usually is large, New sewing ma
chimes will form one Of the main ad
ditions, while all other equipment vii
be added to and improved.
It thus may be seen that the mar
agement of the New Mexico Norma
University is looking forward to
decidedly successful session durin
this summer and it is certain tina
next years regular attendance will b
materially increased.
Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts deserve
| much credit for his interest in all tn
departments Of the school. His wor
toward increasing the attendance Q
the Normal is being rewarded b
great success.
