PULL T06ETHER FOR A MINT.
It ia true that there la a lone step
between the introduction of a bill In
congress and the realization of a great
projeot. The fact that the bill printed
in yesterday' Herald has been in-
troduced Into the house does not neces-
sarily mean that 1 Paeo will have a
mint Immediately. But this action
upon the part of our representative in
congress is accompanied by so many
encouraging features that nothing but
extreme dulnese blind selfishness or
venomous jealousy could prevent the
complete cooperation of every indivi-
dual and every interest in 1 Paso for
the pushing of this matter to a success-
ful issue.
It was somewhat surprising to some
of our people to read in tbe Herald
that Mr. Stephens was going for a
coinage mint. This action may be ex-
plained by the fact that some of the
beet friends of the project notably
Congressman Shafroth of Colorado
believe in inaugurating a new national
policy with retard to mints which
ball provide for coinage minta in every
important mining center in the ooun
try.
ren if El Paso does not get a full
coinage miat at this time the agitation
of the question in congress will be of
great value to us. Tbe result II our
own people work as they should will
almost certainly mean the establish
ment hereof a branch or purchasing
mint.
There are several ways in which we
can meet this question: we may sit in
dolently about and read of tbe letters
that one or two individuals are sending
and receiving or each individual El
Pasoan who is directly or indirectly
Interested in building up the mining
Interests of El Paeo can take the
trouble to write personal letters to our
senators and representatives in con
gross to other congressman and to
Influential personal friends and pull
every possible wire that will help to
tir up a lively interest in favor of the
movement.
During the summer the chamber of
commerce should see to it that every
senator and representative together
with every treasury department and
mint official is supplied with full infor-
mation as to the mineral resources of
this section and the need for a mint.
If we all pull together In this thing
now we can almost certainly have
what we want when congress meets
again.
HELP THE CENSUS MAN
It Is time that Industrial Texas
made herself felt more surely In mat-
ters of legislation in the state. Tbe man-
ufacturing and commercial Interests of
the state are increasing in importance
every day and the time has gone by
when a legislature of unsuccessful
barristers and improvident farmers can
be depended upon to give Texas the
laws she needs and repsal those she
does not need.
It is time the cities came to the front.
The wealth of Texas is being concen-
trated more and more and while the
bulk of it will alwaysbe away from the
largest cities still the cities have
their place. Tbe census that is now
being taken will without doubt change
the complexion of our state legislature
Tery considerably as also that of our
representation in congress. The re-
distrietiDg that will become necessary
will result in giving tbe cities better
representation and thereby invested
capital will get a better chance.
Tbe enumerators have only ten days
more in which to complete the census.
El Paso has much at etake in this mat-
ter. It will affect her standing for the
next ten years not only among tbe
oitles of the country but as regards
her weight in ?tte and national affairs.
This being true it is the duty of every
oltlzen to help tbe enumerators in
every possible way.
It is of the utmost Importance that
every person should be counted who by
any possibility can be counted in El
Paso's population. The utmost vigi-
lance on the part of the enumerators
will not suffice to get the list complete
unless that vigilanoe is supplemented
by the volunteer information of citi-
zens. If you know of any family or part of
a family that is away at present but
can be reached by mail notify the
enumerator eo that these people will
get in the census. If you have positive
information about any absent ones
give it to the enumerator. Helo him
and the little effort you expend will
well repay itself In pride because of
El Paso's good s bowing.
SAVE THE KINDERGARTENS.
Yesterday tbe women of the El Paso
Woman's club or acommlttee of them
called on the members of the school
board to protest against the action re-
cently taken against the public kinder
garten. The women are doing a fine
work in agitating this question and
ought to have the fullest cooperation
of the public.
For some unexplained reason the
school board after increasing a lot of
teachers' salaries quite unnecessarily
took a shot at the kindergarten acd
unless the action Is rescinded that most
excellent department of the public
sohools ia likely to lose much or most
of its usefulness. If it was to save ex
Dense it waa false economy. If there
was any other reason tbe school board
owes an explanation to the public.
The kindergarten has been one of the
most popular divisions of the public
schools. So popular had it become last
year under the splendid .direction of
Miss Jones that it became necessary
to divide the kindergarten into two
classes of over fifty each with two
teachers to each branch. Fifty is too
many for the best work with children
tensor twelve being a suitable number
for an Ideal kindergarten; but of course
public schooling can only ap
proximate the ideal at best. Under
this arrangement the entrance age of
the children remained at five years as
it had been for some time.
But now the school board propose to
do away with one branch of the kinder
garten reduce its size and limit its at-
tendance. To accomplish this the board
has taken a very unwise course that of
raising the kindergarten age from five
to six. Every mother tknowB that a
child at six is entirely too eld to be
engaged in kindergarten work.
The change in tbe school age throws
the whole period of schooling so far
along that most of the children attend
Ing the public schools are so old by the
time they reach the upper grammar
grades and the high school that they
cannot stay to complete tbe course.
The aim should be to arrange a
course every pupil can easily complete
during the usual years of schooling.
With this advanced school age tbe
minimum age at which a pupil oould
graduate from the high school would
be eighteen years. It is altogether too
late.
It is to be hoped that the committee
of the Worn an 's cl ub so f ar aocom pi lshed
their mission that the board will re-
consider its action. Our kindergarten
which has become known in more than
one state as one of the best public
kindergartens in the country is too
good an institution to be maltreated
In the way proposed.
After all tbe sum total of available
oampaign mud is not so very big. The
Neely case is Cuba whioh scandalous
as it is Is being so severely dealt with
that its muddlnees for campaign pur-
poses is lessened; tbe ice trust In New
York the Clark aoandal of Montana;
this is about all. We make a great
todo over our political rottenness but
admitting every charge democratic
and republican we yet find ourselves a
fairly clean respectable and honest na-
tion after all; just as the average citi-
zen unrelenting dollar chaser though
he may be -is notwithstanding a pretty
decent honest sort of a fellow.
Americans are as shrewd in politics
as ia buslnese. bouth Dato:a affairs
give a very good example of how they
take advantage of every shred of
chance. South Dakota Is one of the
very close states eothe populists when
they arranged for their convention
held it in Sioux Falls a rather inac-
cessible city but one in whose neigh
borhood there had been a republican
plurality in tbe campaign of 1896. By
holding their convention in that state
and in that part of the state Bryan
managers hoped to incline some por-
tion of the doubtful voters to their
side. Oa the other hand the republic
ans have nominated for governor a
oandldate from one of the
extreme 1
northern counties with the hope of in-
creasing republicanism there where
success is not certain.
In New York state where Hill plans
deeply for Hill and where democrats
are divided against democrats and in
Massachusetts where the straight out
democrats plot and plot thickly there
seems to be little doubt that Towne will
prove tractable at the Kansas City
It is just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. It is the
gradual progress of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health in such a wav. There is a
little feeling of oppression after eating
After a time it passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom'
headache perhaps. Something is done
to relieve the headache but nothing to
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
of disease of the stomach. They eat in-
judiciously in some cases and in gen
eral tne brain is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged and the young gradu
ate goes home a chronic invalid.
The timely use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will avert such a con
dition ; the faithful use of it in chronic
cases will effect a complete cure.

Miss Mary Belle Summerton of San Diego Duval

these days of his vlee presidential can
dldacy are not for long and he'd best
enjoy tbem while he can. Eastern
demoorats cannot but believe and hope
that Bryan will hedge on sliver when
tbe time comes to hedge.
Kentucky even in these unhappy
days of violent dissension and unlimit
ed and bitter hostility between her
political factions nevertheless does
not give up entirely her birthright cf
of chivalry. It is related that when
Ex-Adjutant General Collier comman
der of the state troops under ex-Gover
nor Taylor turned over the commis
sion to Adjustant General Castkman
his successor under the Beckham rule
Collier said to Castl.eiman: "In
my opinion it is due to you more tbao
to anyone else in Kentucky that blood
shed has been averted." But Castle-
man who was brigadier general dur
ing the Spanish war and has the nobi
lity of a brave soldier was quick to
respond: "I beg to say that tbe state
owes far more to you. The conditions
have been constantly menacing to the
public peace in a degree best known
to you and to. me. You have been
forbearing and fair-minded always."
In all the heat and bitterness of the
strife that Kentucky has been enduring
for many months with every instinct
of political and personal ambition keen
these two opposing men stood face to
face and acknowledged eaoh other's
worth. Kentucky has been ucder
severe trial. With all of the hot blood
of tbe past month it is really wonder-
ful that the peace has been kept so
well and that there has been so little
riot and death. To tbe commanders of
the state troops mast be given great
credit for theirs ia the power to re-
strain or excite tbe ill feeling.
