soIsterlng UP the Kansas Case.


The Wichita Eagle is an advocate
of the greedy attempt of certain peo-
pie in Kansas to deprive Colorado
of the water OF one of its own
streams which belongs to it both in
law and in equity, and which is es-
sential to the success of agriculture
in the arid parts of the Arkansas
valley.
The fact ascertained by Prof. Car
penter of Fort Collins that very
little water of the Arkansas originat-
ing in this state finds its way to the
interior of Kansas has been almost a
knock. out" blow for the Kansans.
But the Wichita Eagle staggers up
to the rescue and claims that the
fact that the water sinks in the sands
is the very foundation of the claim
which Kansas puts forward. 1t
says that the underground seepage
is what has made the farms border
ing on the river in Kansas fertile,
and that this seepage has been in
terfered with by irrigation in Colo
RADIO.
But how can this help the interior
of Kansas in view of the facts shown
by Prof. Carpenters Investigations
When he measured the flow in the
river there was a great flood. The
volume of the stream Immediately
after it passed Lamar-below the ir-
rigating ditches-was about 25,OOO
cubic feet per second. This was
about eight times the amount that
ordinarily would flow past Lamar if
there were no diversion by irrigation.
But the flood of $4,000 cubic feet
per second had decreased to 5000
feet at Dodge City and to about q
500 feet at Great Bend. At Dodge
@ ty it was only one fourth and at
Great Bend only about one-tenth
what it was at Lamar.

Senator Teller.

The following is an exact copy of
Senator Teller's famous speech as
printed in the Denver News. It will
be seen that he not only admits that
he treacherously masqueraded as q
silver republican to fool the voters
when he was really democrat, but
he also admits that he has been a
democrat at heart all of the 81 years
that he has held office as republi-
can. He claims to have left the
democratic party only on account of
slavery. and yet although in sound
bodily condition he came to Cobra
do in 1861 to avoid being forced into
the army. The speech is one all re.

opposed 1t by virtually solid vote.
The House of Representatives on
June ], 1900, by vote OF lo4 to
1872, passed r joint resolution for the
submission of an anti trust cohstitu-
tional amendment to the people, but
this was not the needed two thirds.
and the resolution failed. Every
republican except two voted for the
resolution. Every democrat except
one voted against the resolution.
Here was direct exhibition of the
position of the republicans and the
democrats on the question of the
regulation of the trusts. The repub
licans were in favor of regulation.
The democrats were against it All
the Missouri members, of course, ex-
cept Bartholdt, Pearce and Joy, the
states republicans, voted against the
amendment to curb the trusts. De-
Armond and several others of the
Missourians spoke against that
amendment as we'll as voted against
it. The Globe Democrat warned
these persons that this record would
come up in the future to bother
them. It is bothering them very
seriously in the canvass of 1902
Whenever democrat prates about
his hostility to the trusts he is con-
fronted with the vote of his party in
the summer of 1900 against meas
ure designed to effectively curb the
trusts.
This was not the only case in
which the democrats in recent times
opposed legislation intended to
bring the trusts under governmental
control. The republicans tried to
accomplish this by act Of Congress,
but here, too, they were hampered
by the democrats. Every republi-
can president since the trusts have
come into existence has taken ground
in favor of their regulation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt did this in his mes.
sage last December to Congress and
in many addresses since then. The
only act ever placed on the national
statute book against the trusts was
passed by a republican congress in
1890 and signed by a republican
president, Gen. Harrison. The DEM
ocrats' record in opposition to trust
legislation will turn hundreds of
thousands of votes against their
party IN 10O2.-Globe Democrat.

Mr.. hoge for Congress.

OF the man who was nominated at
the Colorado Springs convention by
republicans of the Second district to
oppose John @. Bell the Telluride
Examiner prints very strong rec
ommendation along with fine por-
trait of Mr.. Hogg, who is large and
fine looking man. The Examiner
says:
A"Mr Hogg is known all over this
state as man of exceptional ability
force and energy, and as legal ad-
wiser his reputation is second to none
in the west. His qualifications are
such that his presence in the halls of
congress would make increased pres
tige for the entire state. We do not
concede that there is a man in pub
lie or political life in this state today
who conld more capably represent
this people, maintain their integrity
in the face Of all opposition, or more
thoroughly preserve every interest
vital to the welfare and prosperity of
this end of the state. He is entitled
to the nomination in every way. He
made the race when republicans of
this state were battling against great
odds, and materially reduced the
majority of his opposition. The race
may be close this fall, but we be.
lieve the outlook to be such as to in
sure q reasonable show for success.
If Hogg can not win there is not
material in the party that can. In
his last campaign over the Second
district, Judge Hogg impressed the
people as man capable of establish
ing credit for his constituency, and
he carried great strength for the en-
tire ticket. There is no one but will
concede that he is possessed of
every requirement necessary to a
forceful legislator and that he would
make a record of benefit. He can
promote vigor for the ticket and
never quits on the opposition. Hogg
has demonstrated capability for the
highest public service, and the trust
placed in his hands will not be ne
elected"

Processes to be so anxious to pro-

The truth is that practically all
the water originating in Colorado

hundred miles or more this side OF
Wichita, and hence it has nothing to
do with the subirrigatIon Of land in

Kansas part of the river depends al
most exclusively on water falling
upon the great watershed drained by
the Arkansas within the limits of
Kansas.
The contention of the Kansas
prosecutors of this suit against Col
orado would, if sustained, do Kansas
farms no good, while it would result
in the Idestruttion Of agriculture in
the valley on this side of the Colo
RADIO Kansas boundary. All the
equity of the case is on the side Of
Colorado; aud besides, the Arkansas

federal government has no control

An Honest Opinion.

The following is what the Victor
Times, the leading democratic paper
of Stimson's former home county,
had to say of his nomination just
before the convention. It is trying
hard to hedge now, but it will have
hard work to induce the people to
vote for a corporation attorney on an
anti corporation platform. This old
democratic scheme for catching the
peoples votes and the corporations
Doodle at same time will no longer
work. Read what the Times said:
Unless present political signs fail
the democratic state convention will
renominste Governor Orman on the
first ballot.
"The Republican papers are natur
ally forecasting the nomination Of
Mr. Stimson, the wish being father
to the thought, because they know
well that "man whom the corpora.
tions can put their hands OF" will
not draw the vote which union labor
would give to Governor Orman.
1T appears that the Stimson-
Thomas crowd have two strings to
their bow. If Stimson is defeated
for the gubernatorial nomination
Thomas's friends will try and have
him nominated for congressman at
large.
1T must always be remembered
that Stimson is Thomas's man, and
the latter hopes to have the former
