TIME TO ACT.
The mayor and the council have al-
ready gone a little too far in balking
the popular will and the citizens are
expressing their views is no uncertain
tones. Nearly every tax payer in El
Paao believes that the citizens who
asked for an electric railway franchise
a few weeks ago should get what they
want. If the city administration has
any reason for withholding It no rea-
son has been given to the people. This
oryptic myeterioiisnees not only leads
people to false conjectures sometimes
but it is dangerous.
El Paso wants electric cars. The
men who are concerned in the old com
panies now consolidated under the
name of the El Paso and Juarez Trac-
tion company have again and again
(riven the people to underetacd that
they do not intend to build an electric
line at once if at all. The most that
has been definitely promised
is that the old lines will be put in con-
dition to carry electrlo cars if desir-
able or to Bell if desirable. They eav
they want to do all that is possible. El
Paeo ia entirely friendly to them and
has no desire to Interfere with their
affairs. But their franchises are cot
exclusive ones. They do not even con-
trol the streets over wbich they run
much less the reet of the city. Why.
theD should a franchise he refused to
any other company that may wish to
Invest money here?
These citizens who are seeking a
f ranobice do not want an exclusive
right toanjtblng. They blmply want
something tangible to show to lttend-
iag investors. They ay that there are
men behind them ready and willing to
put up'the money necessary to build a
modern street railway system. Some
of the couccilmen have eaid that there
Is no reason why this trust franohUe
should be granted that if the men
with money cc me direct to the council
with a proposition they will have co
trouble in getting what they waot
This is a specious reason f r delay.
The oit'zens' committee is trustworthy
and doubtless has a reason for what it
has done. The council seemingly has
none 'for its delay. If the coanell
and the mayor would take a popular
vote tey would find very quickly that
fiey had been antagonizing the ma-
jority of citizens.
Without prejudice to any existing
rights or franchises the requettof the
citizens' committee should be granted
at once.
Is an ornithologist to be set up to
regulate the fashion of women's hats?
The new law for New York prohibit-1
ing the sale of the plumage of certain
wild birds for use In millinery has
been eigne! by Governor Roosevelt
and the law is said to be ao intricate
that the services of an ornithologist
will be required to determine by an
examlnatoo of th feathers whether
the law ia being violated in each par-
ticular case that may come up. The
wearing of the plumage of sparrows
crows hawks gulls blackbirds cranes
ravens and kingfishers ia not prohibit-
ed. But a woman would just as soon
wear a frog's wing on her hat aa a
orow's feather. Go to O legislators!
ENGLAND'S PROBLEM.
Certain anti-expansionists are fond
of-pointing to England's failure to stave
off famine in India as a proof of her
mismanagement of her colonies and as
reason why we should not attempt to
administer the affairs of the Philip-
pines. It is true that there is a fear-
ful famine in India. It Is true that
Germany and the United States have
C3otrlbuted liberally to the relief fund.
But it Is also true that England has re-
sponded nobly to the call and If there
la still unthinkable distress it is be-
otuse the problem ia beyond human
power to grijpple with it.
The famine ia worse thin any two
previous visitations put together.
Nearly a hundred million people are af-
f cted. Cholera adda terror to the
so urge. Thousands die in their ef-
fort to move away from the strloken
districts perishing for want of food
and water and sinking under disease.
A correspondent writes that ten times
the total relief fund could be expended
In a single district without relieving
the distress and yet the British gov-
ernment is supplying regular relief to
over five millions of people.'
Think twice of the problem that con-
fronts Great Britain before denoun-
cing her for her inhumanity." Five
millions now being supported and
ninety five millions more
to be provided for the pop-
ulation of North America including
the United States. Mexico and the
British possessions dying of famine
and cholera.
These famines were as frequent be-
fore British occupation as they are now
and more terrible. The world did not
hear of them then. The millions died
and other millions came to take their
p'ace and no telegraph or newspaper
told the world of it. The problem this
time is almost beyond human aid and
yet England is doing magnificent work
in relieving the distress. It is a case
of world need -and every nation of
earth should uphold Eagland in her
struggle to relieve it instead of in-
dulging in petty railing at her colonial
policy.
The fact tlat the decline of Ad-
miral Dewey's popularity so far as the
matter oan be determined from con-
tributions to the arch fund dates fr m
his marriage will discourage heroes of
war from marrying. The cottrlbu-
tions for the month of November last
footed up $30000. For December
when the admiral's engagement to
mtrry wa announced the amount was
910 000. For January when the D ;wey
boue was deeded to Mrs Dewey it
was 311000. For February t wa
820000; for March it was $24 300 and
for April when the admiral's candl
dacy for a presidential nomination was
nnounced the sum a- $1380.
Thi democrats are coming around to
tie republican way of thinking on at
least two important measures the
Nicaragua canal and the election of
senators by direct vote or the people.
The only difference on the trust ques-
tion Is that the democrats refuse to
sea good in any combinations of capi
tal while the republicans believe that
there are vicious trusts and beneficial
combinations and discriminate some
what In their denunciation. So far as
the protect ve tariff and expansion go
the democrats of the south are all
ready to take up the republican doc
trine.
It has been figured out cy financial
statisticians in this country that the
expenditures by Americans abroad
brought about by the Pari Exposition
will amount to $40 000 000 in excess of
the average yearly sum spent by Eu
ropean tourists from this side. If
these figures are not exaggerated
Europeans will pray for an exposition
ev-ry year.
The greiit number of rtrlkes for in-
oea-ed wages that are noticed in the
newspapers these day- make the best
kind of republican campaign material.
Men do not strike fur Increased wag's
In dull times. They have all they can
do to keep employed at a living wage
and they are not disposed to force

It Is announced that tbe post oRlie
department after investigating th
methods of eo-calld divine healers
has decided to debar them from the
use of the trails so far as the conduct
of the "business" of divine healing Is
ooncerned. The government very
wisely classes the healers with fakirs
in general.
Red is the color that will distin
guish American contestants in the in-

German color; yellow the Belgium

Southern California has hal almost
as severe a drenching aa Central Tex
as. but the Callfornlans believe that
for every dime's worth of damage the
rains have done a dollar's worth of
good which unfortunately oannot be
applied to Texas.

old Russian would be warmly wel
comed ia any Amrion city.
The democratic paty is certainly
blessed with an abundance of leaders
but the trouble when every man wants
t) be general Is that the strategy
doesn't strat.
