SATURDAY, FED. 8, l02
New Mexico demands statehood
of the 57th congress.
If an acquaintance greets you
wjth unusual cordiality these
tlajs don't be too quick to 'sus
pect that he is an embryonic can
didate for office. It is' possible
that you niiht be mistaken.
GayKRNOK Otkko quietly took
his oath of office last Saturday
according to program. His first
administration was narked by
unusual prosperity throughout
the territory and there is every
reason to believe that the second
will be like unto it.
Dr. IIoyt of Detroit, a former
member of the board of education,
has proved by statistics that at
the present rate of increase of in
sanity the total population of
(his country will in two hundred
and fifty years be in I asylums for
the insane. Even supposing that
the learned Doctor is not already
a little daft himself, who the
deuce is goingl to conductall
those asylums?
Tub Chikftain has frequently
suggested the advisability of
trying to secure a supply of
xvatcr for purposes of irrigation
in this vicinity, either by boring
for an artesian flow or by pump
ing from the underflow of the
river. Either scheme seems feaS'
ible, and .the success of either
would probably mean more for
Socorro than any other that can
be suggested. Why not make
the effort?
So MR sort' of .accommodations
should be provided in Socorro for
health seekers of moderate means.
Such people arrive in the city
almost daily and inquire for cot
tages of four or five rooms to
rent. Why not organize a com
pany for the ferection of fifteen
or twenty cottages of that class?
The investment would not be a
very large one and would be sure
to yield a food profit in both di-
cct and indirect returns.
It is frequently remarked these
days that Socorro shows signs
pf improvement. While there is
perhaps no great reason to think
tjiat the city is soon to witness
a repetition of the palmy days
of twenty years ago, still the re
pairing, repainting, and genera
renovating of residence property
that has been in progress for sev
eral monthsis a good indication
of a more 11 1 wholesome spirit
amongour citizens.
arc being formulated into a bill
which is about to be introduced
n the House, and which will im
mediately go before the way and
means committee. President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root and
(iov. Gen. Wood are all in favor
of a substantial reduction in the
tariff on Cuban sugar in exchange
for some concessions by Cuba to
United States products.
Gen. Wood predicts that twenty
years hence Cuba will have a
population of 15.000,000. The
general is a level-headed man,
and he is as well acquainted with
Cuban affairs and resources as
any other American who can be
named, but there is a strong pre
sumption that this forecast is ex-
traragant. As Cuba's popula
tion is now in the neighborhood
of 1,500,000, an advance to 15,
000,000 in twenty years would
represent a rate of growth which
has not been seen in any commu
nity anywhere in the world.
The United States in the old
days used to double every quarter
of a century, but the growth pre
dicted for Cuba would be many
times as great as this.
Cuba's growth will be largely
determined by her political status.
If she remains independent, even
though her government should
be far better than has ever been
set up in any other Latin-American
state, her increase will be
comparatively slow, notwith-
1 '
standing her wealth in certain
sorts of resources and her favora
ble climate. If she annexes her
self to the United States her ad
vance will be speedy and perma
nent. There is no room for
doubt on this point. Ten times
as many immigrants and forty
times as much capital would go
to Cuba from the rest of the world
if Cuba were a part of the United
States than would go there if
she had a. separate existence.
Whether we grant reciprocity to
Cuba or not, the intelligent pro
gressive Cubans will see before
their experiment of independence
is long under way that their sal
vation lies in political union
with the United States. Globe-Democrat.
by anybody. These copperheads
have nothiug but praise for the
bolo men who under the pretense
of being friends, murder the
American soldiers after taking
them unawares. So far as the
influence of such men as Dubois,
Teller and Money goes it will en
courage the insurgents to keep
up their murder and pillage. By
its proposition to reduce the ex
penditure for the army in the
Philippines Congress appears to
believe that the utterances of
these marplots can not nerve the
insurgents to keep up their re
sistance much longer. Denver
Times.
linluctlcu iu Militar Outlay.
Tiik cut which is proposed in
the expenditure for the army for
the next fiscal year will be dis
appointing for the "militarism"
shoutcrs. The military bill
when it goes to the house will
provide for an appropriation of
$91,000,000, which is $20,000,000
below the sum set apart for this
purpose last year. Most of this
reduction, apparently, is in the
item for the Philippines. Of
course, there is a possibility that
the bill when it goes to the Presi
dent will carry a bigjer sum than
the $91,000,000 now proposed,
but the likelihood is that the
sum will be lower and not higher.
In general the tendency in
military expenditures has been
downward since the close of the
war against Spain and Aguinal
do. Probably the drop will con
tinue for a year or two longer,
but it will be risky to allow the
outlay for the army to go much
lower than it is now. The mili-
' tary forces will always in peace
It should be borne in mind 1 timcs bave to kePl UP PrettJ
that the New Mexico School of
Mines is now passing through
the most prosperous year of its
history. The attendance is
Jarger than ever before, the ac
commodations are better, the
corps of instructors islarger, and
the work is better graded. The
lion's share of the credit for these
improved conditions is due to a
painstaking discharge of duty by
ihe present efficient board of
trustees of the institution.

Tub. relations which are to be
established between the United
States and the Cuban republic is
a question which has great inter
est for the country. It is a ques
tion which will have to be dealt
with in the next few weeks.
The views of the administration

near the present figure. The
elaborate scheme of fortifications
of the country's seacoasts have
never been completely manned
They arc not adequately manned
now. Some of the troops which
arc withdrawn from Cuba, and
some of those which will be taken
out of the Philippines when the
present troubles in those islands
end, will have to be stationed at
the forts on the country's ocean
line
The Democrats, however, are
endeavoring to make the stay of
the army in the Philippines as
long as possible. They are
doing this by their denunciations
of the army's leaders and their
praise of the army's and the
country's enemies. A little gan
of implacables in Congress are
heaping more abuse on Wheaton,
Bell and the rest of the army's
chiefs in the islands, than was
ever extended to the insurgents

Wiif.n the guns of the allies
were heard outside the gates of
Pekin in August, 1900, the Chi
nese court lied. The emperor,
the dowager empress and their
attendants traveled first in carts,
and then in mule litters, escorted
by a mob of Chinese soldiers who
were so panic-stricken and de
moralized that they are said even
to have stolen the meals prepared
for their majesties.
Hurrying as fast as the primi
tive means at its disposal would
permit, the court halted first at
Ilsuan-hua, northwest of Pekin,
and then journeyed southwest to
Tai-yuan, where it tarried long
euough to establish some scm
blance of discipline in its follow
ing. But it was not until it
reached Singan, in the province
of Shensi, the old capital of the
empire, six hundred miles from
Pekin, that it settled itself to
await the progress of events
There it remained through the
months which were occupied with
negotiations with the powers,
and for so long a time after they
were concluded that the impres
sion gained ground that it had
no real purpose of returning.
But last month, after a journey
which consumed many weeks and
bankrupted most of the local of
ficials along the route by the de
mands made on their hospitality,
the court reentered Pekin, amid
the waving of banners, the blow
ing of bugles, and all the acces
sories of a gorgeous Orienta
pageant.
In what temper does it come
back? Is the emperor the real
ruler, or the dowager empress
Of the confused medley of reac
tionary and reformatory decrees
that have emanated from the
court during its nearly seventeen
months of exile, which are the
expression of its actual purposes?
These questions cannot be
answered now. But surely the
conditions under which the court
takes up the task of government
are most difficult. Returning to
their capital humiliated, confus
ed and suspicious, the rulers o
China may well claim, until they
have had time to "find them
selves," that suspension of judg
ment which is accorded to the
humblest person. Youth's Com

A man who was bicycling in
southern France was pushing his
machine up a steep hill when he
overtook a peasant with a donkey-cart.
The patient beast was
making but little progress, al
though it was doing its best.
The benevolent cyclist, putting
his left hand against the back of
the cart and guiding his machine
with the other hand, pushed so
hard that the donkey, taking
fresh courage, pulled his load
successfully up to the top.
When the summit was reached
the peasant burst into thanks to
his benefactor.

FOREST RAKGERS.
Their Selection Is To R Left Entirely
to TIi Forest Supervisors.
A Washington dispatch says:
President Koosevclt today carried
out the promise made Saturday
to Forest Supervisor Seth Bul
lock, that in future forest rangers
shall be selected by the super
visors, and not by the secretary
of the interior, by writing a per
emptory letter to the secretary of
the interior to that effect. It di
rects the secretary in future to
leave the appointment of forest
ranges wholly in the hands of
the forest supervisor, who know
what is required and who will
name western men, familiar with
the country, able to camp out in
snow or blizzard and to meet
every requirement of the arduous
situation. Eastern theorists and
"tenderfeet" must not be given
places.
Representative Tongue, of Ore
gon, called on the president to
day and presented along petition
signed by the members of the
courts of his state, members of
the legislature and prominent
citizens generally, protesting
against what they understand to
be the new policy of the interior
department as to the policing of
forest reservations.
The petitioners insist that the
forest rangers now employed,
who are well acquainted with
their duties and perform them
faithfully, should be retained,
and the policing of the parks not
turned over to inexperienced
men.
If one has a cool room, where
the air can be kept moist day
time wheu the sun is strong, one
may be able to grow violets in
the house. Hut in a hot room
failure is a foregone conclusion.
