Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Harwood Of

their studio on the Captain Simpson
place in Taos, in the Pueblo Indian

DI1MOCRACY'S OPPORTUNITY

The republican party has a future
IN Now Mexico only on condition that
il eliminate the "old gang" complete
ly ana put younger men to the front
men not tarred by the old territor-
ial record. when the state was run for
the gang instead OF for the people.
The young men for leadership must
have ability and integrity, such as to
command the confidence of the peo-
PIE. They must be young men who
never have been identified with the
political methods Of the machine. The
republican party has such men. Judge
Herbert e. Reynolds and Col. L. G.
Abbott are two conspicuous examples
Of the sort Of material the party has
to select from
This state now is showing that the
voters know how TO discriminate.
They win not accept a republican who
has an unsayory public record; mel
Their will they vote for a democrat
who cannot stand the light Of investi-
cation into his relations with the pub
lie. Money, even, does not play the
part In our elections that II formerly
played. Men who used TO sell their
votes. or who voted at the command
Of the county or precinct boss have
come to realize that they lose too
much by far when they thus dose
crate the privilege Of sovereign cih-
zenship
Whether the democrats continue to
gain in New Mexico depends entirely
upon how wen they discharge the
trusts confided 70 them. II they serve
the people efficiently and faithfully,
refrain from trying to build up po-
Htical machines have progressive
ideas for the development OF the
state. they soon will have as complete
control of the politics OF New Mexico
as they have in oklahoma and Art-
2ona.
But II they fail to keep the eduoa-
tionai institutions out OF politics and
keep the most efficient men at their
head: II they neglect the public
schools and the construction Of roads
their end as a dominant force In New
Mexico will come quickly.

now TO SAVE MONEY.


When an old uncle of mine dieS
and left me little bequest of $645
my first impulse was to even It off;
and If it hadn't been for an old friend
of my fathers I think | would have
succeeded in neatly pairing it down to
zero.
what were you thinking of doing
with that money!" he casually asked
one day.
Well I replied. Il think III Just
take that $45 and go for a little lake
trip, and then I'll have $500 to put
in the bank"
why 5000" he said, why not
$545.
OH l replied, you might as we'll
have an even amount"
DO you suppose you could spare
me IS p" he asked suddenly.
why yes I replied, a little sur
prised that he should ask to borrow
money of me; but handed it to him
can right, then" he said; here's
$5"-handing me back the same bill
If you'll just put that with that $545
you'll have $3.50. and that's a nice
even amount Now, II youll put that
in the bank. in three months it will
have earned $3.50 more, and surely in
the meantime you can scrape togeth-
err sit5O, and then you'll have an
even 5000 instead OF $500"
well, what could do with S6O0?"
l aske>.. not very much impressed. as
the difference didn't seem worth the
trouble.
"One thing you could do" replied
the old gentleman, would be to ask
your banker TO buy a 81. 900 bond for
YOU or, rather, to lend you the extra
$500, keeping the bond as security.
and then It wouldn't be long before
YOU would have $1,000 which. for
even amounts is little better than
$500"
Then with pencil and paper he
showed me carefully just how long it
would take.
"Of course. YOU don't have TO do IT

NEW CANALS ON MARS.

(NcW 1OTk Hefau.)
Following a course of lee
lures in Washington. oregon and cal
lfornia, in which he described the lat
est discoveries at the Lowell obserya-
tory in Flagstaff, AriZ,, Professor
Percval Lowell returned today TO
take up his lecture work at Harvard
university.
Professor Lowell spoke Of a fact that
s-has- 1ess- pasa.e~assnti2gea- that the
southern winter of Mars is much long
err and colder than the northern win
ter on that planet, being fully six
months in duration.
Another interesting point brought
out was the discovery by the observ-
ers at Flagstaff several years ago OF
two new canals on Mars. These ca
nails were found on one of the best
known parts of the planet, near the
eastern limb, and had not been in eX-
istence six weeks before.
That did not mean, according to
Professor Lowell, that the gigantic ca
nails were constructed in that time,
/ since 1t is not the canals themselves
that we see, but the vegetation which
comes from them. 1t probably means,
he asserted, that the canals were in
course of construction or had been in
use for many years, and water had
! been turned into them, causing vege-
tation to spring up-a thing which
would have been possible In six
weeks
In his address on the Ear Horizon
of Science" Professor Lowell gave his
hearers the history and peculiarities
of the various planets. He described
Neptune as a planet still in its baby
hood, and said "He is, in fact, such
chaos that were we to set foot on
him we should sink at once thousands
of miles out of sight"
Uranus, the next planet in the evo-
IIuuonary scale. has a day The
knowledge Of that fact was character
lied by Professor Lowell as the most
important recent discovery about the
planet. As the astronomer said, the
fact that Uranus has day does not
make a great deal of difference to the
planet, as 1t is covered by such thick
canopy of cloud that very little sun
light could pass through.
About Saturn a great deal has been
discovered recently, according to Pro
fessor Lowell OF the facts the most
important is the fact that the whole
face of the planet, more than 5000
thousand miles in diameter, has been
notably altered in the last year. That
has been done by volcanic eruptons
whereby some Of the interior layers
have boiled up and spread over the
outer layers. Another important dis
covery about Saturn is that it does
not spin as a unit, but in several
pieces, the inner layers travelling fast
err than the outer ones,
In treating of the earth Professor
Lowell said From a cosmic point Of
view the earth has by no means
passed its zenith of development, let
alone the fun attainment Of its pow
ers."

While it is true that water on the

their neighbors. Perhaps the man who
has found water has dug or drilled
