for justice. However, we will comment
upon what we would do were the
conditions the sawn in Aztec, We have
a board of education in Aztec composed
of three intelligent men, and elected by
the people. Should an altercation oc
cur between the teachers or between the
teachers and acholara then it is the
I duty of such board, and not of the pop
ulace. to adjust the dilfereucea. If
tncre is a division among the hoard it is
j iie-t that the majority should rule. That
is what our board of educators is for
and if the time aver cornea when our

what they have termed, by their vote,
competent men, then we will roast aaiil

It is a lanu of hog and hominy; a land of
milk and honey; a laud of delicious
fruits. Durango is its natural outlet;
its natural market. Iiu Bhould o9t her
cap for the love of this section and
court it with all the zeal and ardor of
an infatuated old man, If roads and

should with a liberal hand lay them on
the altar of her love. Durango Wage
