Honor the Memory of Meeiscr.

Honor the Memory of MceiScr.
The Board of Capital Managers should
have regard TO the career and achief-
ments of N. G. Meeker in selecting the
men whose memory should be honortd
by placing their efligies in the dome |of
the state house. The portrait of 10 man
whose life was connected with the early
history of Colorado is more worthy of
this distinction.
Meeker was pioneer Of thu most
worthy type. He organized the Union
colony and laid the foundations of the
prosperous city of Greeley. That plan
Of settlement was new to Colorado when
he conceived the idea Of foimiuS q
colony to cultivate n large traat OF land
fur out on the plains. Wbie upon q
tour of the West he became convinced
that the arid plains could be reclaimed
by irrigation, and that it was not neces-
sary to restrict agriculture to the narrow
river bottoms.
To carry this theory into effect he
organized the Union colony, composed
chiefly of Eastern people. The prospect
was anything but inviting to them when
they reached the locality where the
settlement was to be established. They
knew nothing Of farming by irrigation,
and it must have seemed to many of
them almost impossible to reclaim so
barren waste from aridity. BIT
Meeker came with them. He helped
them construct the bitches and lay the
foundations Of their town. He encour-
aged the colonlsts to presevere. and he
held up before them always the picture
of bright future. He wan a true
builder. There was none of the de,
Structionist in his nature, and to him
more than any one else the success OF
the colony system was due.
BY the organization Of this colony he
inaugurated movement which resulted
in the establishment Of Fort Collins,
Longmont, Colorado Springs and other
places which are today credit to Colo
RADIO and to their inhabitants. The
state should honor such a man, His
memory does not depend upon tire Sc
lection of his eflisy by the Bosd of
Capitol Managers.
His career having been closed by
death, u correct estimate can he placed
upon the value of his work. No man
