Will Abdul Hamid II. pay up?
The House in a Hole.

Chicago Times-Herald.
Already the Republican majority in the
house is repenting the haste with which
it accepted the h~alf-baked civil govern
ment rider which the Senate attached TO
its Is per cent Porto Rfcan tariff bill. 1t
now finds that the bill it swallowed so
suddenly lest the pressure of public opin-
ion might force submission to '"plain
duty - full of amazing possibilities for
evil" The Republican members of the
insular affairs committee at last realize
that a gold brick" in the form of an old
fashioned carpet bag bill has been palmed
off on them.
But they were warned against accepting
the Foraker scheme of civil government.
Chairman Cooper, of the insular commit
tee. spoke bitterly against the abdication
by the House of its right and duty to dis
cuss and amend the ena bill. 1t may
be m that he aid:
How dare l stand before my constituents
and ask their support for this carpet-bag,
foisted upon us in this brazen brigand-
Ike fashion? 1t is an outrage on our man
hood.
And SO 1t was. But in vain were Mr..
Cooper's invectives and remonstrances
In vain were the catmer appeals of Mr..
Moody, OF Massachusetts, to the Republi-
can caucus. Under the leadership of
Speaker Henderson, General Grosvenor
and Uncle Joe Cannon the Republican
majority was suffering from a very bad
case of must, and nothing could stop it
from running amuck.
If Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Moody and a few
other Republican Congressman who rec
ognized that the governmental features of
the Porto Rico act were as contrary TO
sound policy as the tariff feature was to
plain duty" had stood by their demand
for a single reading of the bill in a COM
mittee of the House they might not be in
such a sore predicament now.
The Porto Rico bill, which places "all
grants of franchises, rights and priv
ileges or concessions of a public or
quasi-publie nature" in the hands of the
executive council and eliminates all local
control of their disposition, must be
amended or It will open the door for such
scandals as will shame the nation.
VIII the Senate consent to the correc-
ton of the abortive measure it fo:sted full
blown on the House?

!. BEAUTIFUL BIT OF GREEN.

These spring days, when Nature is
changing from the sombre garb Of win
ter to the green of summer, it is a
pleasure and a delight to stand upon
one of the river bridges or some equal
point of vantage and note the verdure
of that pretty little spot, Riverside
Park, extending from Twelfth to Four
tenth street along the west side of
Water. Yesterday it was bright Is a
newly-coined dollar and was a genuine
bit of beauty on the edge of the desert
of bricks and mortar. May it long en-
dure. 1t merits public care.

OF the same evils that followed in the
train of the Mckinley Tariff are infiict-
ed on us again under the Dingley. Tar
if. The Trusts which McKinleyism
fed and stimulated are given a new
lease of life and power by Dingleyism.
Why not? The same power dictated
the duties in each case. the power Of
organized wealth.
The late Mr.. David A. Wells wrote
years ago a brief and vigorous article
on trusts, which we reprint to-day
from the New England Almanac in
which it first appeared. No n who
has written upon the subject has
grasped the situation with more thor
ongh comprehension or exposed it
more clearly than that wise student OF
public affairs and fearless champion Of
equal right. The article is reprinted
exactly as he wrote it. He maintained
then what has been proved beyond
question since, that the duties were
ClldCtCu vi hCpL vi III OlQCi " main
tain and protect a host of trusts in
the United States which could other
wise have no existence. And he
brought the question sharply forward,
How did your representative in the
last Congress voter" That is the
question which voters should 10Y be
asking. Did he vote protective duties
to favor the trusts which have been
bleeding the American people, and, if
he did, will the people trust him
again? Will a new candidate vote to
remove these favors, and, if not, will
the people trust him at all?
Other questions will enter into the
campaign, but in the election of Con-
gressmen these are the test questions
which should never for a day be lost
sight of, for upon the answer to them,
will depend whether the next Con-
gress Is to be the servant Of the Amer
lean people or the slave of the trusts.

ENGLISH ASSININITY,

If kilograms from London and South
Africa are to be relied upon, the Eng
lish are slow to learn by experience.
A special correspondent is authority
for the statement that the small Boer
commanders are displaying %extraordi-
nary daring in raiding and looting all
around the English, while spies are ev-
erywhere, apparently working without
interference. In M specific instance
we are told that two Beers, dressed in
khaki, rode deliberately through the
British camp, taking notes of all they
saw, and departed unchallenged, while
other parties of Beers have penetrated
far into the English lines to the sur
prise of everybody except the troops,
who, apparently, do not know what
is going on. This Is a remarkable
state of affairs, and shows that some
body on the English side is lamentably
deficient in the military art. If sue
cess comes to Great Britain in this war
it will be through sheer force of num-
bers and logged determination to dis
count laundering by mere pluck. 1t
will not be through common sense.

A. Forder, one of our leading sheep
breaders, says that the small stockmen
make n mistake in opposing the leasing
of grazing lands. He cites his own stu
alton as proving the advantages which
would result from being able to have pos
tive control Of adequate pasturage. Mr..
Forder tries each year to save n portion
of his range for winter pasture. A big
cattle outfit comes in, and IN a, short time
destroys the reserved pasture. Mr.. For
der says he will be willing to pay most
literally for the privilege of leasing and
having full control of certain area and
thinks that other small stockmen should
look at the matter in the same light.

aging, which, in addition to subscriptions
of paid-up stock $1,000 from one indi-

L. @. Henry's proposed diversion OF
So cubic feet of water from the Catlin
canal to the headgate of the Otero canal
has proved failure. The case was set
for hearing last Monday, but Mr.. Henry's
attorneys seem to have abandoned the
suit as nothing has been done in the
past month looking toward prosecution
of the case. In the meantime, the farm
ers under the canal have purchased about
all of the available water rights, and
there is practically nothing left for Mr..
Henry to grab. We congratulate the
Catlin canal farmers on the equitable ad-
justment OF the at-one-time threatening

practically the first rain We have had for
six months. Nevertheless. when the
weather OF the Arkansas valley is com
pared with that OF other portions Of Colo
RADIO during the past two weeks it will be
seen that we have been favored. The
rainfall has given the soil n most thor

Too Much Politics in Country News


Fred G. Shaffer, IN old newspaper man,
hits the nail on the head III the following
observations: ""
several exchanges reach the writer
every week filled from first column to last
with comment ON political matters. 1t
hardly seems possible that the readers Of
these papers can enjoy this. During the
heat of the campaign there may be war
rant for it, but when politics are practlc-
ally dead it would appear to be out OF
place. The readers of newspaper want
something that will tell them OF the suc-
cess or failure Of somebody else or some
thing else. They want to have mental
photograph of the news of their section
when they lay their paper down. There
is no use antagonizing everybody polit-
ically before the season for it is omen. As
n rule, the most successful business man
is the one who states the plain facts and
allows his readers to draw their own CON
clusions. They are capable of doing
that and, in most cases, would prefer to
do. Antagonsms never ply. 1t is al.
ways best to oppose everything PERM.
cious in principle, but it is always best
to attack the principle and not the indi.
vidual."
