"IT IS UP TO THEM.

No more legitimate enterprise.

has ever been inaugurated in west
ern Colorado, than the scheme of
Hon. George Smith. 1t alone de
wolves upon the people to say
whether they want it now, by cons
ing foreward and subscribing for
water or waiting until they are
gray headed, to bring their land
under water. In the parlance of
the street it is up to them. They
know now their land is valueless
without water. They also know
that under a system Of irrigation
canals every acre would be worth
ten times its present value. 1t
ought not be necessary to say one
word toward urging land owners
to subscribe for sufficient water to
irrigate the land. The Sentinel
promises it will not.
If a land owner desires to hold
his land, "dry" quarter section
waiting for the other fellow to bring
value to it, we believe he should
be permitted to do so.
Capital once again is knocking at
our doors to be permitted to build
this great irrigation waterway.
They ark nothing in return, save
safe investment and small interest
on capital invested. For nothing
less than these would they he wars
ranted in providing capital.
The consummation of the scheme
would settle for all time the ques>
tion of power and transportation in
the valley-and greater than these,
would reclaim an empire in extent,
upon which a peaceful and happy
people would find homes and be-
come makers of wealth.

that part OF the city to establish
and build up business. But this
is what Mr.. Dowrey has done and
in which he has been successful.
Property values which were at a
low ebb for many years have as>
cended instead Of declining and
there is general air Of business
activity which has surprised every>
body. To a very large degree
credit must be given Mr.. Dowrey
for the conditions prevailing. If
every citizen would build and en-
courage building proportionately,
as has Mr.. Dowrey, without at
tempting to pull down where
others have builded. it would re>

Hon George Smith and the party of

Sampliner and Orson Adams. jr., cashier
Of the Mesa County bank and Alexander

mines OF the Grand Junction Mining and
Fuel company, and to inspect the site of
the proposed great power plant.
The capltalistic end Of the party went
through the mine and afterwards up and
down the river, and after inspection was
concluded expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the proposition. They said
further that it only remained to sell the
water, to insure the construction of the
High Line canal and this Mr.. Smith as

The outlook is very bright for the

backcapping tongue drove away a
young man from piece of land
which he had contracted to culti-
vate. The article was published as

tongues make of them criminals,

Editor Hulaniski of the Ouray
Plaindealer, believes that his burg"
has been going to the demnition
bow vows, since he has abandoned
the editorial pen. He has been
making millions in mines, but the
longing to run things in general
has overcome his desire for riches
and he announces in "Huley's"
garndiloqucnt way that, he now
again assumes the reins Of his
P.aindealer and "h-l" will be to
pay for some time. Before we
read Of the Plaindealer editors re-
turn to guide the destinies OF Ouray
we were about to congratulate that
paper on its general appearance
during the past three months. The
news matter has more fully COM
pretended the occurrences OF Ouray
county and its editorial matter,
while impersonal has been able
However. our judgement may be
warped and probably "Huley's" re
turn will be beneficial to Ouray,
especially as he says there are some
people who are getting too "fossy"
and something's which Plaindealer
will not tolerate. This may not be
the exact language but it has the
sense of the remarks made on Mr..
Hulaniski's return. Poor Ouray is
on the carpet for investigation and
punishment.

If the United States Is bent upon ''be-

The G O b has heretofore advocated
selling the Philippines to Japan, reserv-
ing only coalng stations and a navy es-

Manila We think the time will come
when the sentiment of the country will
demand such policy. There is little
doubt that Japan would be more than
willing to secure this means of expan-
sion. Until the time comes when We
are convinced that possessions across the

courage Japanese immigration into the

In dealing with the question of Chinese

to remember that the Philippines are

excluding Asiatic immigration would be

The members of a community, be it

the persecution of an innocent family be-

The burden laid upon them by the act OF

They feel keenly enough the awful crime.
That is their inherited punishment 1t

HUMAN LIFE GROWING LONGER.

Leslies Weekly.
In 1890 the death rate in 27l cities Of
5000 or more population was q per 1000;
in 1900 the rate was 1876 in 96l cities of
5000 population and upward, reduction
special interest and Significance just
now is that deaths reported as due to
consumption, including general tuber-
culosis, decreased from 2459 per 600 Of
population in 1890 to 1905 in 1900, very
large reduction, due, the cePsus authori-
ties believe. to the better knowledge of
the disease and the measures adopted for
its prevention.
To add nearly two years to the average
of human existence is a wonderful
achievement. Its full significance it Is
not easy to grasp. Applying it to the
population of the United States alone,
now over 20, 100000, it means not less than
a total of 600 added years of hui
man activity and productiveness This
stupendous total. divided by the years
of the average human life with the re-
cent increase included. means practically
healthy adult population of the nation.
Regarded from the standpoint of the
economist 1t means also an enormous
increase in the wealth producing factors
of the country. HealthfulneSs. vigor and
high vitality among a people are the most
valuable assets that any nation can have.
especially for the coming years. when
the struggle for commercial and indus
trial supremacy throughout the world is
certain to grow more intense.

PROHIBITION OF TRADE.

The period of exclusiveness is past"
said President Mckinley in his Buffalo
speech, his last public utterance; -recip-
rocity treaties are in harmony with the
spirit of the times, measures of retaIia-
ton are not
Then continued the former great apos-
tie of the high protective doctrine:
only broad and enlightened policy will
will get more" So in the case of the
trade with Brazil the president favored
a reciprocity which reduced the dutv ON
one of the leading Brazilian articles of
export namely, wool. And now springs
up Senator Warren, president of the Ma
tional Wool Growers association, and
condemns Mckinley, reciprocity and all
the enlightened tendencies of the time
and demands the retention of a retaIia-
tory wool tariff of over 100 per cent.
The Boston Herald informs us that at
the port of Boston, the other day, there
was eeh iINOlCe VI WOOL from Bu6nOS
Ayres on which the United States i'm
port duties aggregated $3O.144S4. while the
actual cash foreign value of the wool
was only $22,Sl2 The protection on this
WOOL therefore. was 1S5 per cent ad
valoreml
Whom did this 1876 per cent protection
protect? How many of the 76O0O,0O9 peo-
pie of the United States who wear wool
en- clothing are interested in a 135 per
cent tariff which destroys our trade
with every wool-growing country?
So far as anyone can discover there
is only small handful of men inter
ested in this barbarous wool duty, and
that is an aggregation of a syndicate or
two of Western ranchmen who get their
pasturage practically free and are stu
ated so as to produce wool more cheap
ly, perhaps, than any other men on the
face of the globe What a farce to
keep up for this handful of syndicate

How does our Kentucky contemporary
regard the state of things which it here
portrays? 1t characterizes it as approach
ing anarchy. How near does it regard
the approach as being? Is there not, on
it's own statement of the situation, an
actual condition of anarchy existing in
Hopkins county? What essential offer
ence is there morally between the ac-
tual existing condition in Hopkins coun-
ty, Kentucky. and that condition which
we are informed the anarchists seek to
call into existence generally, and which
our contemporary tell us we are in CAN
ger of losing the point of?
The metaphysical distinction drawn by
the Cour;er-Journal is wholly unworthy
lucky society by making such distinc-
ton. Such a condition is not lost on
anarchists. Indeed it gives a sort of
warrant to this murderous aggregation
for the wicked tenets which they preach
and, considered in connection with the
palliative which the Courier Journal of
fers in it's editorial columns for anarchy
In practical operation, it presents to view
a social condition which it will become
more and more difficult to eradicate as
time goes on.
Any such condition of public sentiment,
as the Courier Journal thus gives ex-
preston to, which will place those in
arms in Hopkins county on any other
level than that occupied by the mem
bers of the avowed anarchistic order IS
one which all decent men must reprobate
and which involves in itself a menace to
organized society.

MINNEAPOLIS WAFER.

According to the report of the city
bacteriologist the city up the river is in
pretty bad shape as to its water supply.
A personal examination made by that
official of the river watec at certain
points reveals state of things altogether
Incredible. 1t is so serious indeed, that
one is nade to wonder how sucn condi-
lions can be made consistent with the
existence of health department in that
community.
According to the report, the official
mentioned in his tour of investi-
cation, discovered at one point in
the river a heap of rotting ma
nure partly submerged. He also discov.
cred the decaying body of a sheep in
the river at point within ,he limit from
which city water is taken. Slime an inch
thick was found on the surface of the
water in the vicinity of the piers of the
steel bridge such as is not usually pos
sible of discovery outside a cisy sewer.
In addition to all this DR.. ;Corbett AYERS
in his report that at the mouth of The
West side intake there was revealed the
biggest rat that he ever set eyes on.
The chemical analysis OF the city water
made by the city chemist reveals such
conditions of impurity as woul1 naturally
be looked for as the result of the state
of things revealed by the city bacteri-
oicgist. 1t is not surprising then that
the city chemist should declare much
of the city water to be unfit for human
consumption.
Such a state of things as is here re-
vealed involves not only the gravest dis
credit to the city, but public menace
of the most serious character from time
to time there have been proofs offered
that the water supply of Minneanolt:
is not at all as satisfactory as the require
ments of such an important city render
imperative. But nothing of this shocking
character has ever been revealed before
No extent of cost or labor can be re-
garded as too great which will relieve
city so situated of the danger of pub
lie contagion which such conditions re-
veal 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
city authority will exhaust every possible
means to remedy this terrible evil. and
that Minneapolis may soon be relieved
from the grave danger which at present
apparently attends the health of it's cit
liens.

ranchmen on the great plains a protect
i've duty which not only hampers and
kills our foreign trade, but which taxes
without cause 100000 people!
President Mckinley had proposed, in
the reciprocity treaty which was drafted,
to reduce this 135 per cent duty only
90 per cent, which would have left it
still at over 100 per cent. But the wild
eyed high tariff demands of Senator
Warren and his eoterle of syndicate
ranchers call even this reduced 100 per
procity principles" Where does Senator
Warren get his reciprocity principles?
Even the Dingley tariff requires re-
duction of duties along reciprocity lines
in such a case as that of the South
American traffic relations. Mckinley
was acting entirely in accord with the
law as conservatively laid down and pre-
scrbed in that high tariff act. He did
no more than he was actually required,
and that was little enough.
Will the wool syndicate get any more
satisfaction out of President Roosevelt,
than out of Mckinley? Plainly not.
Here is what Roosevelt demands: "a
more liberal and extensive reciprocity
in the purchase and sale of commodi-
ties
That certainly is good enough to cover
this 1S5 per cent duty against South
American commerce.
Again: THE abolition entirely of COM
mercial war with other countries and
the adoption of. reciprocity treaties"
What is this 1876 per cent wool tariff
but commercial war?
Finally: 1.-The abolition of such tariffs
on foreign goods as are no longer needed
for revenue, if such abolition can be had
without harm to our industries and la
bor."
If the great plains of the Rocky noun
tain region cannot compete with South
America in growing wool, without pro-
better turn to more profitable calling.
Il the farmers of the Northwest can pro-
duce wheat in competition with the Ar
gentine and beat the Argentine in the
world markets, why cannot the ranch
men of Wyoming do as we'll? AT any
rate, let us give them a chance to de-
velop in free market, if they fail to
make any better progress under a 1S5
Per cent protection.
1t is a clear case that Senator War
rem will get no consolation for his
peculiar views from the words of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t Is already as good as
consummated, that the reciprocity treaty
cutting down the outrageous wool tariff
against the homes and commerce is law,
and Senator Warren may as well g5t in
line with the spirit of the times and
the car Of Industrial progress.

WH1rEHoRNE,s SUCCESSOR.

The difficulty which has developed in
the direction of electing member of the
board of county commissioners to sue
coed Whitehorne is not to be regarded
particularly serious in it's consequences.
The vacancy is one which can remain un-
filed for an indefinite period. The va
cant chair of Mr.. Whitehorne has an ed
vocational significance which will more
than overcome any possible loss or en-
barrassment to the public service through
the failure to elect it's former occupants
successor.
We have always recognized in the first
assistant corporation attorney an uncom-
promising partisan adherent There are
many who believe that his recent opln-
ion was dictated by partisan considera-
tionS. The G o b e ..oes not share IN
the belief Whatever part Mr.. Griggs'
political predictions or prepossesions
may have borne in the production of the
opinion, there was not, the G o b be-
lieves, any conscious purpose on the part
end. Besides, the opinion is well reason
ed and indicates conscientious and extern
Sive research.
The unwillingness on the part of the
Democratic members of the council to
accept the law departments view of the
situation is not without precedent. 1t is
paraleled by number of corresponding
instances of the refusal in the past OF
Republican members to be bound by any
legal view which did not accord with
what they conceived to be the interest
of their party.
The only interest which Democrats,
as such. can have in the filling OF
Mr.. Whitehorne's official shoes by a
Democrat, aside from personal con-
to place on the board some man who Will
cooperate with the ex ofticio chairman,
whether it be DIR. Schiffmann or Mayor
Smith, in opposing all questionable
schemes which may happen to meet the
approval of the Republican majority OF
that body. From the party point of view
it matters nothing whether it is tie Dem
ocratic minority or the Republican ma
jority which is augmented as the result
of Mr. Whitehorne's disappearance The
public as well as the party interest is in
volved only to the extent to which two
Democratic members of the board OF
county commissioners can offer more er-
fective opposition to questionable pro-
jects than can one. 1t would be good
deal better from both standpefnts that
the vacancy should continue, or that 1t
should be filed by Republican, than
that the Democratic majority of the
council, acting in joint sessio Should Sc
lect a member of their party who was
not universally recognized as in every
particular exceptionally qualified by high
intelligence and unquestioned probity and
independence to stand by the tax-pay1ng
community
In order to secure the Judgment of the
district court on the subject it is quite
as we'll for the Democrats in the council
to get together and make a selection in
joint session-provided always they have
sense enough to select the very best man
available to them for the place. If there
is any doubt of this action being taken.
we are quite free to express the hope that
the vacancy will be allowed to continue.
