IN COLORADO.

Fishes are weighed in the scales.
And an elephant packs his own truns
But rats never tell their own tales,
And we seldom get chink in chu nix
Dogs seldom wear their own pants,
Which fact lays them open to scorr:
Nor nephew nor niece fancies ants.
And a COW never blows its own horn
A cat cannot pare its own claws,
No porcupine nips its own quill,
Though orphan bears still have then
paws,
A bird will not pay its own bill;
Sick ducks never go to quack;
A horse cannot plow its own mane:
A ship is not hurt by tack.
And Cuba is not afraid Of Spain.

distinguished by the fact that their
manners are not spoiled by affectaiiou
nor frozen into icy iDhumanity. The
American clubman allows you TO know
that he has a heart. He does not wear

A DASTARDEY SUBTERFUGE

The Lawrence ournal, a near. if not
an intimate neighbor, intimates that
the late whisky row at Topeka was not

offspring. The Journal, however. denies
that the promoters of the meeting. in
which the onslaught was made upon
the open saloon, were friends Of the
jointists and abettOrs of the drug
store trade. 1t cites the fact that the
joints have been run so long and un-
moieSted that it was easier TO lSt them

1t IS easy enough to understand the
hostility of the Powers TO the accession
Of Crete to the Hellenic Kingdom.
Crete is the strategic center of re-

the Aegean Sea and of the Leyant
should have been included as well as
the mainland of Greece The frustra-
ticn of the desire of the Cretans to be-
come united politically with Greece is
essential to the realization of the policy
Of the Powers TO keep the Greek race
in condition of tutelage All parties
to the Graeco-Turkish imbroglio are
well aware of the fact that the dispo-
sitiOn of Crete is the central point of
the situation. With the cessation OF
hOstilities in Thessaly the Cretan prob
lem, therefore, is most likely to again
come 10 the fore. The conditions for
q satisfactory settlement, however.
have become immensely more compli-
Gated than they were before the out
break of the war by the unexpected de-
velopment of military strength on the
part Of the Turks. The Sultan has be-
come an incalculable factor in the sit
uation. The Asiatic despot will doubt
less demand a voice in the concert OF
Europe, and the Powers of Christen-
dom will not be in a position to Ignore
his demand. This is the most significant

If Justice Field OF the United States

August next, he will have sat upon the
supreme bench thirty-four years. 1t is
Justice Fields ambition TO serve longer
than any justice in the list. Up to the

tie only one who has been a member
of the supreme court of the United
States for a longer time than Justice
Field. Chief Justice Marshall went up
on the bench at the February term in
1907. He died in 1885, having served
upon the bench little more than thir-
ty-four years.
Justice Field was appointed to the
supreme court by President Lincoln in
and is therefore. nearly 81 years Of age.
He belongs to a notable family, having
as brothers David Dudley Field, the

WESTERN KANSAS ALL RIGHT.

The machinery, pumps and expert
mental contrivances bought by the
state for testing the possibilities for
lrO1tableness of irrigation in western
Kansas, ale to be sold ar auction for
what they Will bring That is the
proper thing. The expense should have
never been incurred in the first place.
Aruficia. irrigation cannot successfully
compete With the regular agricultural
areas Of this country. Irrigation FROM
natural streams in arid and semi-arid
districts will only succeed. The Law
renee Journal in referring 20 irrigation
in western Kansas says that 1.-The coun-
try hasn't been up from the bottom of
the. sea long enough yet to make first
class forming land That is not the
trouble With western Kansas. 1t is too
far. lp from the bottom Of the sea for
profitable agriculture. Its soil is all
right. The trouble is its altitude.
which is too great for sufficient precipi-
tati6n. Its calcareous evils are wonder
fully productive where the water sup
ply is sufficient But water cannot be
profitabiy supplied by artificial means.
Were We overcrowded with popula
ton as are India. China and the Delta
of the Nile, the western jlains might
be mus profitably utilized. But west
ern Kansas is all right without irriga
lion. 1t was only all wrong to try TO
make it an agricultural country during
the boom period. 1t was all right before
the DooEl and iwll be all right hence
forth. For herds it is the healthiest
of domains Its future is in cattle and
sheep. In its grasses and climate are

make that country blossom as the
rose Ii must be left green with native
grasses. All abundant water supply
for livestock can be had, and that is
all the water needed outside of that
witch falls from the clouds. All of that
country except the immediate valleys
of living water-course will be, eventu-
ally, divided UP and owned in great
cattle ranches. And said owners will
be prosperous. The western third of
Kansas will no longer prove a draw
back to the state, but in good time. in
it's way, will be its glory Eastern
Kansas will be the ordinary farming
country of roots, vegetables. corn, hogs
and orchards; central Kansas will con-
tinue TO lead in wheat and corn and
for winter feeding; but. western Kansas
will be covered With cattle as it was
at one time with rowing millions of buff
falo.
