A BUGLE CALL

Get Together

ping Republicans.

There was a notable gathering OF
Democrats in Washington last week.
They were there at the biennial ban
quet OF the Virginia Democratic as
sociation held in the banquet room of
the Metropolitan hotel. They in
cluded Democrats of national promir
nence. Those who spoke included the
following: L. W. Bullock, second
vice president of the association: Col.
Henry WatterSon, OF Kentucky; Sena-
tor Carmack, Of Tennessee; Hon.
Lewis Nixon, the leader of Tammany
Hall; Representative w. w. Kitchen.
or North Carolina; Representative
DeArmond, OF Missouri and members
or congress from Virginia Col. Wal
terson spoke as follow:
There is no drop of blood in nv
veins which is not Virginia blood. Al
though for purposes of my own, hav-
ing a deep design beneath them, |
choose this capital OF the nation for
my birthplace, my earliest vision OF
paradise-the very dawn OF all nv
conceptions OF honor and duty and
glory-nestled among yondcr hills,
across the Potomac: and, when 60
hence, my ashes shall repose upon the
bosom of Kentucky-Virgln first
born and fairest daughter. There
seems, therefore, some fitness in nv
sitting among you.
Anyhow, being a Kentuckien and
a Democrat, L am glad to be here and
you will not, l hope, think me assum-
ing any consequential airs and graces.
If L add that l feel very much at
home.
WE ARE DEMOCRATS"
I'VE are Democrats. We love our
country. Our hearts beat true to its
institutions. We would rescue the
government from the hands OF those
who are converting 1T into a govern
ment OF the trusts, for the trusts and
by the trusts, and restore it to the
hands Of those who will have some
regard for the rights OF the people.
The Republican party is syndi-
Gated party. Arbitrary power is its
motor, the almighty dollar its trade
mark. If it be not checked in the gait
1T is going, it will in the end surely
Mexicanize the republic.

AN IMMENSE SHOW.
Ringing Brothers Wonderful Ag-
gregatlon in the City.

This is circus day, and it is big
An ordinary circus attracts little at
tention in this city. but when IA show
of the magnitude and high character
of Ringling Brothers circus enters
any community, it is matter of more
than passing interets.
Since its appearance here two years
ago the immense aggregation has been
entirely reconstructed and it is now
the largest and most comprehensive
exhibition ever known
The three trains carrying the i'm
mense number of men and women, the
wagons, and cages, the horses and cap
tive animals, the tons upon tons of
canvass and poles, came in about 4 80
this morning. and at O'Clock the
white city had been built southeast of
town.
And one of the most interesting
features connected with the big shows
is the unloading and the putting in
proper place of the different matter
that forms the aggregation.
AT ten O'Clock everything was ready
for the big parade, and when it ap-
peared upon the streets headed by a
splendid band in a magnificent wagon
no disappointment to the hundreds of
people who had gathered to see this
forerunner of the big exhibition. The
cages were of the most magnificent
style and finish, the horses were
beautiful in their gorgeous trappings
and we'll groomed coats, the immense
chime of bells and the steam calliope
were splendidly played, and the open
cages showed magnificent specimens of
the inhabitants of mountain, jungle
and desert plain.
AT two O'Clock the big tent was
well filled with the crowds that had
thronged the streets, and the big per
formance began.
The more prominent features of the
.s.l.
elualled by any other performers in
existence, are the Nelson family of
eleven people. who perform the most
wonderful acrobatic feats ever before
attempted; the Halloway trio of tight

A Plan for Saving Water.

According TO "A recent decision by
water is personal property. If this is
true rights may be sold, exchanged
and leased with little regard for legal
formalities and without making any
official record of the transactions
When farmer finds that his right
he buys another piece of land and
transfers part of his water right TO
it or he leases a part of il by the year
to some neighbor who can use it or
perhaps he sells part or all of it out
right. A ditch discovers that it has
company need and at once proceeds TO
rent or sell part of its rights to some
other ditch company
Only a very small percentage of
irrigators have definite, undi sputed.
legally defined titles to water itself.
The seller does not always know what
he is selling. nor the buyer what he
is buying. The water transferred is
supposed to irriagte a certain number
of acres. 1t may irriagte more or
less, depending upon the available
supply in the streams and upon how
the water master divides it. There
il altogether too much carclessdcss in
doling out water TO individual con-
sumers. The fault just at present
however rests primarily in the supply
itself and this fact alone should pre-
scribe greater Judgment and care in
the allotment of appropriations.
Some people are talking about new
laws to fit emergencies that may arise
from shortage in the streams. This
would not create more water but
means could be adopted by Legislators
to preclude the great wastage now so
apparent ON every hand Principal
among these probably is the constant
loss by seepage from the canals. This
palpable loss could readily be over
come by requiring all CARRYING com.
paines to cement the bottom and sides
of their canals as is done in California.
If this were to be done we would hear
less complaints about low heads in the
bitches and there certainly not be so
much good land lost by the settling of
seepage water. We cannot of course
secure everything desired from the
but if we could get such
a law AS this it would prove "A grand
step toward solving bad problem. -

Our 500. 900 s...,,...

The present legislature is the
hottest thing that ever scoarched a
ballot box. Almost every meas
ure put through at its first session
was either unconstitutional or ille-
gally passed. Now it's enjoying an
extra social (session) and striving
to make things jibe with the con-
stitution. While there are many
brainy and capable men, such as
|. d. Adams, Roberts. OF Clear
Greek. Whitiord, etc, in both the
senate and house they we're unfor-
tunately in the minority or out
numbered by ex boot and shoe
clerks, gents furnishing clerks and
dentists from Arapahoe, milk men
from Teller county, people who
could not distinguish the differ
ence between the constitution and
the story Of the Runaway ROBIN
son. We cast no reflections upon
these honorable callings. nor upon
the people who follow them: if
they are common sense and moral
men they are good as the best. but
we do feel that the gentlemen who
stepped from these and similar
lines into our Legislature without
familiarizing themselves with con.
stitution and legal procedure
possessed more "gaul' that self
respect and the people who voted
for them more idiocity than brains.
This thing Of ''pull" before ability
Is getting very tiresome in the
twentieth century. Keep your eve
