Consul Commander, OIL fOR 11 fOR i (Scrlpps News Association) Washington Dec 26. Fuel oil from the il wells of California and Texas Is re lacing coal upon the railroads of Cal 'ornia, Arizona, New Mexico. Texas and Mexico to such a great extent that coal operators in New Mexico and other coal fields of the West are becoming alarmed. r- - r " j, uviuiii MIC annual pport of Joe Sheridlhv UniUd btates Inspector for New Mjxicj. the ratio of increase in the coal mining in dustry has not kept pace with that of the two proceeding years. The demand for New Mexico coal has been lessened by oil 1.000.000 tons per annum, estimates Mr. Sheridan. He figures out by a seeming logical prrc ss that the settlement of Arizona and New Mexico and the development of the.r resources has created a demand which at present compensates for the lost markets to the railroads and in California, and which will in the near future furnish a home market for a large proportion of new Mexico s coal production. - Sheridan points with pride to the larg est body of coal land under one ownership in (he United States. It is in Colfax coun ty and is owned by the St Louis. Rocky Mountain and Pacific company. It isfullv 60 par cant greater than the combined area of all the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania. This county stood first in the production for the last fiscal year. Mcrvinley county coming second. The inspector pitches into the careless miner. He would have law passed, prohibiting solid shots, from which shat tered roofs and dust explosions result as two of the invited . dangers, incident to this method of mining. : j In Mark Twain's "Following the Equator" is couple of pages devoted to woman suffrage in New Zealand in which he gives the official figures showing that women vote in that country in as great a proportion as do the men. In the official report he also found this statement: A feature of the election was the orderliness and sobriety of the people. Women were m no way molested." In commenting upon this he says; .,' "At home a standing argument against woman suffrage has always been that women could not go to the polls without being insulted. The prophets have beer. prophesying ever since the woman's rights movement began in 1 848 and in 47 years they have never scored a hit 'Men ought to begin to feel a sort of respect for their mothers and wives and sisters by this time. The women deserve a ohange of attitude like that for they have wrought . well. In forty-seven years they have swept an imposingly large number of unfair lawsfrom the statute books of America. In that brief time these serfs have set themselves free essentially. Men could not have done so much for themselves in that time with out bloodshed at least they never have. The women have accomplished a peace ful revolution, and a very beneficent one; and yet that has not convinced the aver age man that they are intelligent and have courage, energy, perseverance and fortitude. It tikes much to convince the average man of anything, and perhaps nothing can ever make him realize that he is the average woman's inferior yet i.i several important details the evidences seem to show thvt that is what he is. Man has ruled the human race from be ginningbut he should remember up to the middle of the present century it wis a dull world, and ignorant an J stupid. This is woman s opportunity she has had none before. 1 wond.tr wiwre man will be in another forty-seven yetrs? When you want a pleasant Divsic trv Chamberlain's Stomach and Livei Tablets.
