auch a reform could be brought about
before the BDrine election this year it

Whatever the future may bring
forth in the way of active participa-
tion of women in political matters one
thing is certain: wherever -they have
taken active part in the administra
tion of the publio schools either by
way of holding office or helping to elect
officers they have nearly always work
ed improvement.
Col. Waring told the truth in a
peculiarly forcible way when he said
that the thorough cleaning of the city
of Havana was more vitally important
to the citizens of this country than it
was to the dwellers in the city of
Havana itself. 1

The past two weeks have been full of
railroad accidents. It seems as if these
terrible events come in cycles or
groups. It may be that the occurrence
of so many in olose succession will tend
to make railroad employees more care
ful for a long time.

Oleomargarine.
The butter makers of the country are
massinsr their forces for a new attack
on bntterineoleomargarine and all Imi
tations of the genuine article. 1'ney
propose to ask congress to increase the
internal revenue tax on the yellow but-
terine from two oents to 10 cents a
pound. Such a tax if enforced and col
lected would of course drive the imita
tion butter from the market. The man
ufacturers could not sell it ten cents a
pound under the price of genuine but-
ter and make a living. The campaign
is beinar directed by the National
Dairy Union which led the fight
in congress which resulted In the pas-
sage of the filled cheese law. It is
said that its officers have been work-
ing quietly for several months enlist-
ing the co-operation of the various
butter interests in this one supreme
effort to land a knock-out blow upon
"oleo." They are confident that the
high tax will prevail inasmuch as 283
of the 356 congressmen and 60 of the
90 senators represent states which
have declared against oleomargarine
colored so as to resemble butter. Th e
30 states which prohibit the sale of
t he yellow butterine contain between
three-fourths and five-sixths of the
nation's. population. Minneapolis Tri

All this section says a Corslcana

as a consequence operations in the oil
fields are materially retarded. There

If there was one thing neoessary to
insure Governor Roosevelt's immor-
tality in the historical annals of this
country that one thing has now been
supplied. Teddy has come out for wo-
man suffrage. In his message to the
legislature he advocated gradual ex
tension of the suffi age to women. The
women who think and feel strongly
upon this matter on either side were
in great perplexity as to what the gov
ernor meant and they sought inter-
views. Governor Roosevelt Bays that
he is in favor of trying the experiment
to see what legislation can accomplish
In the way of the gradual extension of
the suffrage to the other sex. He has
seen the system in operation in a small
way in the school district where his
home has been and he thinks it might
work elsewhere.
The fellows who made the constitu
tion of this glorious country certainly
showed remarkable foresight when
they included that publio welfare
clause. That clause has justified a
large proportion of the acts of the
presidents and congress from the be
ginning when objections were made to
certain movenfents in the way of ad-
vancement and expansion and it is al
ways ready to be thrown in the face of
the minority by the party in control of
the government. The strangest thing
about it is that as a rule when this
clause has been invoked in justification
for the acts of the majority 'it has
eervea a really good purpose In over
coming opposition that proceeded from
unreasonable conservatism or rancor1
ous partisan antagonism.
Governor Culberson in retiring
from office takes occasion to recom
mend that the provisions of the state
school tsxt book law be extended so as
to include cities of ten thousand in
habitants and over which have hereto
fore been exempted. We are strong
ly of the opinion that to compel the
larger cities of the state to accede to
the provisions of this law would be a
great wrong. . The act is directly in
imical to the interests of our publio
schools and we hope the people will
protest against this unwarranted in
terference with the rights of this city
and others in the state to conduct their
schools as they see fit.
A Correspondent Says New Mexico
Is Covered With Burled Cities
A. M. Swan writes to the Albuquer
que Journal Democrat as follows: The
alleged find by fror. terson oi a
buried city near El Paso is if true no
matter of surprise to any person who
is familiar with the archeology of New
Mexico. Prof.Longurmaier is correct
in saying that there are numerous
buried townB all over New Mexico.
These towns and many isolated struct-
ures belonging to the same people can
easily be distinguished from Pueblo
ruins as they are Detter constructed
often being of well dressed stone laid
in ashler work with cement joints.
the walls generally plastered with
the same cement. There is a large
town burled at San Mateo in Valencia
county one of the buildings of which
was partly exhumea Dy uon. Atnaao
Chavez who discovered it by accident.
Another partly buried at Air ma del
Ojo in Valencia county and many oth
ers Known only to cattle ana sneep
men in Valencia Socorro and Sierra
counties. Sheriff A. B. Laird of Sier
ra county partially exhumed a burled
group of ancient buildings in whloh he
found perfect ears of petrified corn.
Some of the ancient forests of which
Prof. Longurmaier speaks have be-
come petrified forests. One of these
in Socorro oounty undoubtedly fur-
nished shelter to an ancient Druidioal
place of worship. This was discover
ed by Major H. Pradt of Laguna while
engaged in surveying the Socorro
grant and when found the altar stone
was Btill in place but broken into two
sections while outer circles of stand
ing stones were evidences of its anoient
use.
l tninir. fron. Liongurmaier is cor
rect in hia hypothesis that at some
time in the past all human life in Ne
Mexico has been destroyed by a
catastrophe or cataolysm. Those who
were interested a few years ago in my
articles upon this subject published at
tne Southwest Magazine will remem
ber that I gave my reasons for this
belief but I think Prof. L. will
find some difficulty in establishing
the date as A period of twenty years
having 1680 as its beginning. " I have
knowledge of ruins belonging to the
lost race in question into which lava
flowed so long ago that channels of
erosion have been cut through or into
it forty feet in depth. I have in mv
possession lava belonging to this same
lava flow that has run onto corn in the
ear the corn now imbedded in toe
lava.
It would I think require a good deal
of.credulity to believe that these chan
nels of erosion in lava the petrification
of these trees and the corn oould have
occurred In 210 years. Or that if the
catastrophe occurred bo recently the
Pueblo Indians tne JNavajosor the
Utes should have no tradition either of
the catastrophe or the people who
builded the now buried cities.
Prof. Agasslz call America "the
mother of continents." I believe she was
also the mother of(manklad and of civi
lization. The lava that created Table
mountain and covered the Caleveras
skull is now admitted to belong to the
Miocene period of geology and when
that flowed 16500 feet of the Himalaya
mountains and all of Egypt was under
the sea says geology.
mat man in a comparative state or
civilization was contemporaneous in
New Mexico with the Caleveras man
of California I think will yet be prov-

The old flume across the river which
has always given so much trouble is to
be abandoned and a force of men is
now engaged in tearing it down. In
place of the flume a rolling dam will
be put in the river about a quarter of a
mile further down .and will divert the
waters of the river into the ditch for
watering the farms now under cultiva

the proposed American law can be
established. Now or never so far as
the expanding trade of the Pacific is
concerned seems to be the motto to
be adopted by Senator Hanna and his
