EDUCATIONAL TROUBLES
AT ALAMOSA

On March q writ of mandamus
by Judge @. G. Holbrook was di-
rected against the Alamosa school
board to compel them to receive
Mexican children into all public
schools and give them the same in
struction as is given to American
children. Except for the better
class of Spanish Americans, it
seems to be a fact that the lower
grades in some of the American
schools are crowded with Mexicans
of all ages who do not advance,
and this, it seems, the Alamosa
board attempted to relieve by pro.
viding a Mexican school.
Denver experienced similar
trouble with the Japs, who were
overrunning the lower grades of
their schools, and the matter was
adjusted by maintaining a sepa-
rate school for the foreigners. Jap
anese of all ages-even men and
women-were found in the pri-
mary grades and decidedly unde-
sirable condition resulted

SOME CURRENCY FACTS

Gold is too limited and expensive for
monetary purposes and is governed by
the law Of supply and demand and
there are no means by which the SUPPLY
can be regulated.
can be regulated.
The constitution provides that Con
gress shall have the power to coin money
and regulate the value thereof. This
can be done by paper or credit system.
There are now bills before Congress
to supply the country with an adequate
currency at a moderate rate OF interest,
the most important legislation since the
close of the Civil war.
Interest on money guages rents, profits
and wages-and finally, the cost Of liv-
ing. To illustrate: No man will re-
main long in any business in which
the profits do not equal the interest
on his capital invested and rentals of
his business house.
A scarcity of money means high rates
of interest

MEETING FAVORS
DRAINAGE PLANS

The mass meeting called Thurs
day night to discuss the drainage
proposition for the city, was for
the purpose of ascertaining the
sentiment of the majority of the
people regarding the need and ex-
pediency of drainage by the city
council. A fairly good atten-
dance was had and number ex-
pressed themselves in favor of
drainage.
Engineer Reilly outlined plan
for the installation of system that
would drain the stagnant water
from the slough south of town and
also a part of the underhow from
the section in the. west end that
becomes saturated during the sum-
mer. The estimated cost of such
system would be approximately
$4,000.
The city council is empowered
to issue warrants to defray the ex-
pense of putting in sanitary i'm
provements and are desirous of
learning the wishes of the people
before taking any action. A meet
ing of the business men has been
suggested in which the matter may
be further discussed in a business
like way to advise the board of
aldermen.
One of the thrilling scenes of
George Kleine's photo drama ex-
quisite, "The Last Days of Pom
peii," announced for Friday, April
3, at the Iris theater, With matinee
at 3:45, night at 7 and 9 o'clock, is
the great circus scene. Over three
thousand people participate, and
they look in the pictures like three
times that amount. The picture
was taken in the stadium at Torino,
which seats eight thousand people
and which was rented for one year
by the Ambrosio company for the
purposes of The Last Days of
Pompeii" and other big produc-
tions. At Mr.. Kleine's express
wish, the producers endeavored to
avoid all possible similarities to
the great quo Vadis" amphithe-
ater scenes, and this has been ac
complished without destroying the
Spectacular strength of "The Last
Days of Pompeii.

MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.

This appears to be the policy of
some of our statesmen in Washing
ton. This policy was invoked in
securing the right of way for the
Panama canal and that idea seems
to actuate certain members of Con-
gress-without regard to party-in
the disregard of the Hay-Paunce-
fort treaty, which is unanimously
supported by the civilized world, in
order to create a shipping trust by
a subsidy.
South America joins the rest of
the world in assuming the United
States is interpreting treaties to
suit itself regardless of obligations.
The fall elections will end the
congressional career of some of
the exponents of special privilege.
Wool is quoted at about one
cent pound higher than year
