Why EJ Paso Is Prosperous.
Mil traveling man who spend even om

tivity evident her during lh immii of the yelr
whu depression In rvldmt In other circle. ThSg
see our business Institution crowded with cuitom'TI
continually end huilnw activity of th bom pro-
nounced character In amy direction.
Buslneee activity la a marked El Paao character-
istic Conditions hare are vaatly different from thoae
of any other Texaa city. We ara not dependant upon
the yacarlea of the eeaaona or the fluctuation of the
cotton market .
Our agriculture) resources are backed by cln-
tlflc application of the principle of Irrigation and
ore not limited to broad aerea of cotton and email
patohea of corn. We crow alfalfa cutting an av-
erage of a ton per acra five tlmee In eucceeelon dur-
tbe aeaeon. worth initially at least $10 per ton. We
grow wheat and oeUa sed the other grains that euc-
ceed In thU latitude. We stow fruit the ft neat In
the world.
We are not dependent upon our agricultural re-
eoureea. We are the center of the (Teat eat mining dlatrlct
In the world and It le a etream of gold that la con-
stantly poured Into Bl Paao from the great minee of
the South wee t. With copper and sine bringing the
htgheet prloee for year the entire Bouthwest la
proeperooa and El Paeo reap abundantly from thla
aonrce from one end of the year to the other. New
gold and ellver minee are conatantly being developed
In El Paao trade territory.
And we have other vetuable reeoorree and pros-""
perlty promoter.
We are the direct center of the remaining range
rountry of the Southwest. The cattle and aheep In
the El Paao trade territory are the beet and moat
numerous In the country. With eteer yearling
bringing above $10 around with eheep selling at
$4 and $f. and wool averaging more than 26 cent
the stock Intereeta are prosperous and eoktrlbute
much to El Paao proeperlty.
We are the greatest source of supplies for Ari-
sen New Mexico Northern Mexico and West Texas.
We control an empire in trade territory
There I always aotnethlng doing In El Paao.
There are no perlode of bualneea depreeelon.
The offer of Joshua 8. Reynolds preeident of the
Pint National bank to contribute liberally toward
the purchase of a magnificent pipe organ for the
proposed municipal auditorium la characteristic of
the man and should stimulate the determination to
provide an organ that will be truly worthy of the
occasion.
Thomas A. Edison announces the completion of
his new instrument the telescribe which will record
telephone conversations even at a distance of 1.000
miles It la said to be a great Improvement over the
ld-fanhloned telawoman.
The -freakish and unsettled weather we have been
having recently la explained by some new spots that
have appeared in the eun. And It la gratifying to
note that those spots were cool spots in thst ancient
luminary.
The Bryan family will not ba Invited to the wed-
ding of the daughter of Speaker Champ Clark which
occurs on June 12. Memories of Baltimore are too
Creen in the minds of the Clark family.
A quarter of a million babies died In the United
States hut year. Out of every 100 bottle-fad babies
an average of SO die the first year and out of every
100 breast-fed bablee aeven die the first year. Save
the bebie
At any rate Great Britain has appreciation for her
chief newe censor. Ha has Just been made lord high
chancellor of the empire at a aalary of $60000 per
annum.
"Old Tom Brown" is dead. And there la elncere
mourning from one end of Texaa to the other over
the passing of the great chief Justice of the state
supreme court.
Eventually It may be as difficult to recognise
Mexico as it has been to recognise a Mexican government.
It wlU be readily noticed that British battleships
before the Dardanelles etlll afford excellent targets
for Turkish submarines.
The sweet girl graduate la abroad hi the land but
abe I being closely crowded by the lovely Jua
bride.
The Texas Prison System.
rBRE appears to be something radically wrong
In the vicinity of the Texas prison system.
Two year ago a legislativa appropriation of mora
than $1.000.900 was madevwlth the expectation that
It would put the Texas penitentiaries on their feet
financially.
Now another appropriation of approximately
$i.000oo is aeed to again square the penitentiary
system and this seems to Indicate the penitentiaries
are running behind to the extent of half a mftlkm
dollars annually.
Who Is responsible for thla condition of affairs?
. Governor Ferguson has Issued a puMtC proclama-
tion removing W. O. Stamps one of the prison com-
missioners from office. He charges the removed
man with "malfeasance and non-feaaanoe In office."
Who la responelble for putting the Texas prison
system In the hole to the extent of more than $$.-
OOO.00S in four years?
In the existing deficit it is noticeable that the
state owes more than 1226000 for bacon used Co
feed the convicts when the state operates big prison
farm with convict labor und ahould raise thousands
of bushels of corn annually.
Why does not the penitentiary management pro-
duce sufficient bacon every year to feed Its convicts?
Why not produce more hogs and com and less cot-
ton? Why not utilise the army of state convicts In
making the penitentiaries self-sustaining instead of
a constant drain on the taxpayers of the state? Why
not put buslnees men In charge of the situation and
cut out all the incompetents from top to bottom?
The Ubi of articles furnished the state penitentiary
for which the state Is now owing embraces few
things that could not be produced by the peniten-
tiary system. Why spend thousand of dollar for
mules every yeer for Instance when mules can be
produced on the prleon farm? Why take money
from the honeet men of Texas In such quantities to
support the criminal element of the mete?
The people of Texas are growing weary of peni-
tentiary condition and unless there is something
peedlnly done to remedy the situation It is going
to become one of the dominant issues In state polí-
tica There Is a general belief there Is something
dead up the oreek.

pas ansa for poverty. - .M .
The man who stasis upen you In the dark and
tabs you in the back is a gentleman compared to
the person Who sent the New Mexican this week a
copy of an Albuquerque newspaper with a marked
item concernios the death of s boy following a sur-
gical operation. Attached thereto Is s slip of paper.

Just another evidence ' of desire on the part of

Demlng always gets what ahe goea after for the
reason that her live bunch of citizenship loses no
time in figuring on the possibility of losing out in
any undertaking.

Orover C. Blank we can always tell what the C.
