The annexed editorial from the COL
umns of the Rocky Mountain News is
applicable, in Its suggestions to other
localities as it is to its own. 1t were
well To give timely heed to a matter 80
vitality important.
at would be advisable for the cattle
men of Colorado to take immediate
precautions to guard their herds against
cattle driven or shipped from the re-
gion in Kansas at present afflicted by
the foot and mouth disease. Nothing
Is more natural than that the owners
of herds about Neosho Falls, Kas.,
should endeavor to get their cattle out
of the reach of this destructive disor-
der and some or them may drive to
Colorado. There would be no harm in
this IL the driven cattle have escaped
the infection, but 1t may be that some
of them have already been exposed to
the disease, and it is dangerous to take
any risks. We know of no law which
can be invoked In this matter, unless
1t be the great law Of self protection.
II the foot and mouth plague we're to
be communicated to the herds on the
plains of Colorado 1t would do incalcu-
liable damage, as owing to the peculiar
conditions of the business of cattle rails
ing here, it would be most difficult to
keep the disease from spreading with
extraordinary rapldity. The Cattle
Growers association can do something
to prevent the introduction into this
state of cattle from Kansas that have
been exposed to the plague, and they
should act without DELAY.

nEsrIxG IN PEACE.

Another good man has passed from
the boundaries of our mundane sphere
to the realms Of the great unknown.
He was a clergyman-Rt- Rev. Robert
Harper Clarkson, d. D., l.. i. d.,
bishop OF the Episcopal church, diocese
Of Nebraska. He died early yesterday
morning at his home in Omaha, after a
p~rotracted and painful illness. For
nearly a fortnight he fingered precari-
ously between life and death. At last,
the Lord who gaveth took back again
the soul of this pious preacher and
transported it amid the angel host,
there to swell in respondent glory
throughout all eternity. Eloquent,
sincere and approximations, noble
hearted and grand, this model divine
labored long, lovingly and successfully
in the Lords vineyard. Born NOyem-
Der 10Th, 1926, in the pretty little viii
lage of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. So
famous by reason Of it being the great
decisive battle field Of the Rebellion,
this eminent divine, after a thorough
course of theological study, graduated
from Pennsylvania College, located
within the boundaries of his W ma
tive heath. This was in 1874, and he
continued his ecclesiastical curriculum
until our years later at st. James Col
lege, Hagerstown, Maryland. On the
18th day of June, 1913, he became a
deacon, and on January 8, 1851, was
ordained to the priesthood of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church. From the
time he was Installed rector of st.
James church, Chicago, in 1S49, to the
period OF his elevation TO the E~piscopacy,
he preached continuously before large
AMI ~appreciative audiences. Numerous
honorary degrees were conferred upon
him for meritoricus abilities possessed
to a large extent. He was consecrated
first missionary bishop of Nebraska and
Dakota on November 10, 1865. Five
years later, upon the organization
of the Diocese of Nebraska, he was
unanimously elected bishop thereof,
retaining also his jurisdiction of Da-
kota until the general convention of
1888. The deceased, during his event
full career, not only delivered many
learned and eloquent discourses, but he
welded most gracefully a facile pen
upon subjects both secular and theolog-
ical. AS a man, he represented one Of
Gods noblest works; and, as a minis
ter, he was good, true and pure in all
things, a living example for thousands
probably to copy. Peace be to his

THE steady increase of crime
throughout the country is the incentive
for much alarm among the law-abiding
portion of the people. How to combat
this evil is a serious question, and one
fraught with much p%erplexity. Many
Of our large cities are virtually ruled
by thieves and thugs who combine
against society to defeat the ends of
justice. Especially is this 80 in the
east. Fortunately for this section. a
better state OF affairs exist. Whilst
the laws are, as a rule, more lenient,
they are far better respected. This is
a great point in our favor. Upon the
whole, there is much less lawlessnes5
here. than in sections which make
greater %pretentions to a high moral
standard.

THE SAHARA PROJECT.
Flooding the African Desert Not So
Important n scheme AFTER All.

lChicago Inter Ocean.
1t Is of course quite to the advantage of the
Count De Lesseps that his scheme to flood the
desert Of Sahara should be considered of a
magnitude equal to the enthusiasm Of the
protector. But there obtains rather an err
roneous impression as to the extent of his
possible accomplishment, because in the
opinion of most people this arid tract is
practically a level plain that might
easily be watered down by means Of a
canal cut through from Tunis. As a
fact this desert covers an excess of 3,293,OO0
square miles, the topography of which is
largely mountainous, parts OF 1t having an
elevation OF more than 1000 meters above
sea level That section described as the AL
gerian Sahara, which is the basin contem-
plated by the French scheme, is below the
level, and forms an area for u possible lake
about the size OF the state of Illinois. The
only other practicable level from the Medi-
terranean Is in the eastern part OF thu
Saraha, south of the table land of Barca, a
location quite out of the scope of the present
demand.
The latest photographic survey has decid-
odly exploded the idea that this desert was,
within any considerable number Of ages, the
basin OF a sea, as the evidence seems to be
clear that it has not been submerged since
the cretacious epoch. A canal cut through
the dunes that divide the Medi ,erranean from
the desert would lead to tn flooding OF a
very insignificant fraction of she great sand
waste, since from a given point the ground
has a rise to the south that precludes the
possibility Of a sea of any considerable
dimension. The effect could only be to
establish a water line OF defense between the
French colonies and the savage tribes that
may threaten their present security. 1t is
not easy to discover, however, in what way
the carrying out OF this project will tend to
the fertilization of the desert, or make 1t more
valuable than it is now as a mere thorough
fare.
The inland sea cannot be made serviceable
for navigation to any notable extent, since
the water flood can be projected no more
than al eighth OF the distance from Tunis to
the Soudan, so that it is out of the question
dispensing with the caravans. The only
marked advantage that might be gained,
further than the establishment OF a scarcely
necessary barrier, would be to render that
portion of the desert bordering on tue lake
practicable to industrial settlement, though
1t is rather utopian to take even that view
considering the general unproductiyensss of
the country surrounding. When De Les
seps' project is looked at calmly and prac-
tcally it dwindles greatly from its apparent
Importance. for it does not seem to reuder
the desert more available either for pur-
poses OF traffic or special production
