SINCE SECRETARY TAFT'S RE
TURN. In reviewing the political situation
in the Republican party and the many
candidates for the presidential nomi
nation next year and considering the
return of Secretary of War W. H.
Taft, the Washington Post, on the
spot and right well posted and rather
non-partisan, gives its views and no
tions thereon in a very readable and
it must be admitted Interesting and
sensible way. It seems to be about as
the Post thinks it is, and the Post
thinks that the return of Secretary
Taft last week and the attitude of the
public toward him will be narrowly
studied by rival candidates for the
Presidency. Thore Is likely to be a re
newal of gossip about Taft and his re
lations with the president, growing out
of the latter's announcement of De
cember 11. The opinion is expressed
in many quarters that Secretary Taft
did not gain in prestige by his sea voy
age, and that the President, perceiving
this, caused the Secretary of War to
cut his trip short and hurry home. But
now that Secretary Taft Is about to
appear on the scene, there is less talk
of his "waning prestige," and more
talk of the fixed determination of the
President's supporters to secure Taft's that which has just sailed away under
nomination. There Is no doubt among the command of Admiral Evans. The

UNCLE SAM TO HAVE THE
GREATEST NAVY.
The United States Is growing and
that at such a rapid pace that it Is
hard for the average citizen to keep
up with the rapidity and constantly
increasing dimensions of the advance
ment of this nation industrially, com
mercially, politically, diplomatically,
and scientifically and along military
and naval lines. The sending of the
greatest single squadron of battleships
ever assembled, to the Paclfilc ocean
by this country, suggests the Idea that
a great part of this fleet will be kept
in the Pacific and that more ships will
have to be added to the American j
navy for the security of the Atlantic
seacoast and to preserve and uphold j
the dignity and. Importance of,
the United States amongst the '
great nations of the earth, i
The St. Louis Times express
es this idea very pertinently
when It says that while it is possible
that many of the ships now heading
westward may in due time resume
their stations on the Atlantic, it is not
at all unlikely that before we have
need for a fighting force In action
against an enemy we shall have ano
ther squadron quite as effective as
1907 PROSPEROUS FOR NEW MEX
ICO. The year 1907 has been a very pro
pitious and satisfactory one for the
territory of New Mexico." It would
have been still better had It not been
for the financial flurry this fall, the
effects of which were and are still
somewhat hard and injurious to the
sheep raising and cattle growing in
terests of the territory, In this that
many of the sheep raisers and the cat
tle growers were unable to dispose of
their lambs, sheep and cattle they had
for sale for cash and had to take notes
for the sales they made whllo quite
a number did not sell at all but are
holding on to animals In large num
bers which they would have sold ord
inarily for fall delivery and for cash
because many of the feeders and live
stock buyers were unable to pay
money on delivery on account of the
stringency in financial affairs. Had it
not been for this doubtless the year
1907 would have been the most pros
perous ever recorded In the history of
New Mexico. As it is, much progress
has been made in many ways and It
is not at all exagerated to stata (hat
25,000 and more people have been
added to the population of the terri
tory within the past twelve months.
That much additional capital has been
brought here is shown by the satls
facory statements and conditions of
the national and territorial banks and
the fact that fifteen new banks have
been organized during that time. Of
ficial matters especially in many of
the counties are running better and
smoother than ever before and much
more economy and good business man
agement are exercised' these days
than were the rule years ago. , The
drawbacks have been few and the ad
vantages have been many. Take It all
In all, the people ought to be pretty
well satisfied with what happened this
year and what there is today, and look
for many good things to come in New
Mexico during the year 1908.

organizers of clubs named after him
that he appreciates the honor confer

bility for anything that may be done
by such clubs. He declares that he
is not seeking any office, and should
not be taxed with participation in any

there is excellent evidence that Gov.
Hughes is one of the most receptive of
all the Presidential possibilities. He !

RAISING CROPS WITHOUT IRRIGA
TION. Homeseekers are rapidly settling the
mesa lands In New Mexico. It has
been discovered that Irrigation is not
necessary over the northern half of
the territory, and in a few years we
expect to see the plains around Dem
ing, Alamogordo and Carlsbad alive
with successful farmers. Intelligent
cultivation of the soil is the secret. It
is not wise to expect too much, but the
system is becoming fairly well estab
lished now El Paso Herald.
t This is borne out by actual and hard
facts. Around Alamogordo and about
Deming there are several farms
upon which crops without irrigation
have been raised successfully during
the past few years. In the northern
part of the territory and in its east
ern portions, especially in Union, Gua
dalupe, Quay, Roosevelt, Lincoln and
Torrance counties, within the past
two years, upon hundreds of farms
have satisfactory crops been raised by
the intense cultivation and culture of
the soil, although it most be admitted
that In many sections the annual rain
fall for the past two years has been
a little above the average. But a com
mencement has been made and the
cultivation of what was heretofore
known as the arid lands by the dry
culture system will be continued and
extended, and the indications are very
favorable that they will be successful.
The coming five years will make a
great and favorable difference in agri
culture and hortlculutre In the Sun
shine Territory and soon to be a state.

NEVADA'S LITTLE GAME.
The little game that the state of
Nevada has been endeavoring to play
with Uncle Sam will not wrok. The
governor of the state endeavored to
have United States troops kept at
Goldfield because the state could not
and would not support a state militia
which might be called out In an em
ergency for the preservation of the
peace, tho maintenance of law and
order, and the protection of the life
and property of its citizens. President
Roosevelt has come to tho conclusion
that under present circumstances
state authorities should at least try to
do their duty in the premises, and the
federal troops at Goldfield will be
withdrawn. New Mexico is not much
concerned In the affair except to in
vite the attention of the country to
the fact that were similar disturbanc
es to those at Goldfield to take place
In this territory that a militia force
could bo put into the field by Govern
or Curry to aid the civil authorities
in preserving law and order and to
protect life and property. To be sure
I there ls no regular appropriation for
,such purposes, but there would be no
trouble having all necessary expenses
paid by the territory In due course of
time.
