HONOR TO WHOM
HONOR is DUE


The Irrigation congress held at Col
orado Springs last week was made up
of Democrats and Republicans, but 1t
was not a political body and those in
attendance were more interested in
the success of irrigation than politics,
and the following resolution is an
Indication of the esteem in which
President Roosevelt is held and that
had it not been for the president
national aid for irrigation would
still be a dream.
"The tenth National Irrigation con
gress felicitates the entire American
people upon the enactment of the ma
tional irrigation act of 1902, one of the
most beneficent and wide-reaching
measures in the history of our legis-
lation and rejoices in the fact that its
passage was due neither to partisan
ship nor sectionalsm, but to the pat
riotic and united cooperation of men
from all parts of the country, irres-
pective OF political complexion.
The grateful acknowledgements of
this congress are due to Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States for his individual assistance in
the cause of irrigation. His message
10 congress in December, 1901. marked
the beginning of an epoch in history
not only of the arid west, but also OF
that in the whole nation. Without his
powerful aid, and that of his admin
istration, it would not have been possi-
BILE to secure the passage of that great
act which will inaugurate and put into
effective motion the national irriga-
tion policy for which we have been
striving for SO long. Great as his ad-
ministration may be, we believe that
none of it's achievements will rebound
more to the greatness of our people
and the glory of our country than will
the passage of the national irrigation
act. We send him our greetings and
give him our assurances of our most
sincere respect and admiration"

1t Is essential that we take the best

AT Cripple Creek Saturday night
Senator Patterson was able to draw
an audience of only 500 people in
that populous district. In way of ex-
PLANTATION the senator stated among
other things that prior to the state
convention he had been opposed to
the nomination of Judge e. c. Stimson
on the grounds that he represented a
faction which, If recognized. would ul-
timately bring destruction to the
Democratic party in the state. Since
the nomination, however, Senator Pat
terson said he was willing to support
him as an honorable. generous and
upright man. Now if Mr.. Patterson
has transpired to change conditions
since that time? If Stimson will be
the ultimate destruction of the Dem
ocratic party, what is the use Of elect.
ing him? He cannot be the destruc
ton of the party by giving the state
good government, because that would

to bring discredit on the party and
cause its destruction he will also bring

The Herald is not afraid to state
that Edward o. Wolcott stands high
in the estimation of the Republican
party of Colorado, as Republicans ad-
mire ability, but the ex-senator is not
a factor in this campaign any more
than any other good citizen. He an
nounced months .ago that he would
step aside, so far as leadership, but
this does not satisfy the barking and
yelping horde. T. NJ. Patterson was
at Cripple Creek the other night and
the main gist of his argument was
againsct Wolcott, that the ex-senator
was really the Republican party and
that the state must be saved the obi
um of returning him to the United
States senate. Well, all we have got
to say, is that it is a pity that
Wolcott is not United States senator
in place of Thomas NJ. Patterson, and
we have no doubt that thousands of
misguided Democrats wish the same
thing. But the fact that Wolcott
comes in for all the abuse of the
Democratic speakers and the Demo
cratic-Populist press only indicates
the straits of the Teller-Thomasites.
The speakers do not want to be hon
est. Anything to mislead. If they
were honest they would know that
Wolcott is not the issue, but that no
candidates have been named for the
Legislature pledged in any way for VOL
colt. This is especially so in La Pla-
ia county and throughout this south
west section. However, Republican
nominees will not pledge themselves
to vote for Teller. Such promises
have been desired by the opposition.
No Republican can afford to make any
such promise. Defeat is preferable.

The Herald has been commended
for not assisting outsiders to work
them on special editions. The Herald
is believer in home industry and If
any of the papers want to engage in
special work they have writer's who
know more about the resources of the
town and county than outsiders, and.
again, a write-up that only covers
certain industries at so much per line
is not worth sending out. The Herald
is willing its patrons should be dubbed
moss-backs by those who come here
with only one object. of making mon
ey and not to benefit the town. In
this no backcapping is meant. for the
reason that we have always been con
sistent advocates of home enterprises
and have always urged our people to
patroniZe home merchants who pay
taxes and help support the town. The
same is true of home writer's and news
paper men, we urge upon merchants
at all times if they have favors to be
stow upon home newspapers to do so
in person and not through outsiders
who get all the money.
