Necessity of ssorase RcServoirs in the
West.

A significant indication Of the agri-
tural prog ess of the West is the growth
OF public opinion toward the fullest pos
sIbs use Of the streams for irrigation,
aud especially toward the conssEation
OF the winter and spring food waters
which now run to waste. A recent re-
port received DO the United States Geo
logical Survey, in its study OF tho
countrys water resources, from Mr. A
L. Fellows. resident photographer of the
survey for the State OF Colorado. throws
Interesting light upon tho water situa-
ton COW existing in the State.
Tho urgelt necessity for storage Of
water, says Mr.. Fellows, was never more
fully demonstrated than by the great
scarcity OF water in Colorado during the
present irrigation season. Tho gaugings
OF the streams by the Uuited States
Geological Survey show lower stages
than have sver been known before Al
the same season. and the fact that .
winter flow OF considerable magnitude.
although less than the normal. might
have been stored il reservoirs had been
available, aud ths further fact that a
number Of floods OF short duration, re
suliDg from violent rain storms, were
.e't unutilized. have opened the eyes Of
sIty for storage. Although the shortage
has been most marked upon the eastern
slope OF the Rockies, tho came is true to
d less extent upon the western slope
Whereas In the eastern streams there
has been practically DO high stage. water
being taken IN the irrigation bitches
before any high stage could be observed
~ the streams. on the western slopes
the streams. while reaching stage of
considerable run off. have ueverthelsss
attained their maxlma at early periods.
and have subsidized quickly, SO that low
wafer stages have come from one totvo
months earlier than usual.
These facts. taken in conusction with
The prevalent high charges for water
and the increasing valuo OF land sus-
cept'ble OF irrigation. have resulted iu
hings being made upon a great many
reservoir cites throughout the State.

Russian Thistle.

The utility Of the Russian thistle ~ q

West has not been iutslligsntly and ful-
ly sscsrtained. although q number -ot
persons have bsen insistent that this
detested weed, which was once the OBJ

q SHALL NOT BE A CANDIDATE
This is the Declaration Made by Hon.
 W, J. Bryan.

 Hon. William J. Bryan made snort stop in St. Louis Friday morning, on his way to Paducah, Ky, MT. Bryan was alone He stated that he should not be a Presidential candidate in 1904.
 My present attitude toward the pres ent administration" he said in reply to question, Ifs identically as it was six years ago. The administration IS but replica of the threatening attitude Of Great Britain to the American colonies 100 years ago.
 Money is still the essential issue with me and you will find that is not at all dead issue in time to come.
 The beef trust that is now reaching the stomachs of the misguided people who elected men who could thus make people suffer is but the natural sequence CT things This administration is but one huge trust. and when the beef trust scan dal has subsided either by force of law or satiety of earnings another will follow it's heels andNempty the almost penniless pockets of the poor.
 T will not be a candidate for President on any ticket in 1904 under any circum- stances" said Mir Bryan. II have re- tired from active participation in politics for the time being, at least. I have an- nounced before my determination not to try again for the Presidency. Even should the Democracy fin 1901 endorse and accept the Kansas City platform as It's platform for the battle of 1904 I should not be a candidate for the nominati tion."

A Good Newspaper Gone Wrong.

Cha attanooga Times. ,
 If we sense the position of the esteemed Nashville American. on the oleomarga- rine bill. it is to the purport that Tennes- see Senators and members should vote 10 crush out the butterine trade because Tennessee has q considerable and grow ing dairy business and has no butterine factories. The right of Tn American citi- zen to manufacture and sell wholesome, pala able and cheap food material, IS nor in the question that Congressman should ask themselves They are. according to The American, to look to the giving of a monopoly in that interest In whicn their constituents have money invested! /! They ought to destroy. if they can, any and all enterprises that compete with Tennesse industries! Which Is as If we said ''Tennessee raises only Mediterra- mean wheat, therefore our Congressman should strive to tax down and out all club wheat farmers. no matter where they are and no matter whether or not the club wheat is a good and cheap bread material"
 Where did the esteemed American pick up this doctrine of protection of one legitimate American industry against industries? Is that liberty and equality Is it democracy? Is it right? We think it is none of these. To our mind no more undemocratic bill was ever presented to Congress. than the one to protect the dairymen against competition by a legiti- mate food product, butterine. It is the doctrine of arbitrary protection, in a form so objectionable as to make 1t im- moral if not infamous. It is many times worse than Dingleyism.
 We do not believe the people of Ten nessee want this thing. We do not be- lieve they would rob the workingman. the artisan. the poor but thrifty class of people in our cities. of a palatable and wholesome food. fin order to force them to buy dairy butter. whether made in Tennessee or elsewhere,
 Democracy says. Let every tub stand on it's own bottom" Democracy does not favor one class to the disadvantage Of any other class. Above all else. democ- racy is the champion of the great mass. numbered in millions, that produce the wealth of this great country. through the labor of teir hands directed by the skill of their brains. Democracy says those men shall he favored if anybody is. but that all favoring of classes Is ant-dem- ocratic.
 The American is off on this issue we are sorry to say. It is the duty of Ten nessee's representatives to stand up for the rights of the whole people, and see that there is. before the law, fair play and no gouging or doing one element of the people to enrich another.

--------------s-<- STOPPED TOO SOON.

From an exchange we learn that "a Kansas City man has been sentenced to the penitentiary for briblng jurors in the interest of the Metropolitan Street Rail- way" That is good as far as 1t goes, but does not go far enough. Not word is said about those who were behind the briber. The man who was convicted was not bribing jurors with his own money. nor for his own purposes. There was a power behind him and that power sup piled the means and reaped the benefit of the transaction
 This Is not the first or the only instance of the tool being punished while the principal goes free. Bribing jurors is one of the most infamous as 1t Is one of the most hurtful crimes which can be com mitted in any civilized country. If our courts are corrupt or corruptible we have nowhere on earth to look for justice. II jurors can be brbed we have no security for either life or property When justice is bought and sold the people suffer, society is in danger and the State is dis graced. When d man is on trial for an offence innocence Is no security if the men who are to try him can be tempered with. When a man is contending for his rights in the courts no proof of the justice of his cause is worth anything if the jury can be fixed"
 The man in Kansas City who bribed the jurors ought to have been punished. but that was rot all. He committed the crime ''in the interest" of a corporation. and that corporation was benefited. or expected to be benefited by the criminal act of the middleman. Is 1t not possible to punish the corporation. or those who compose 1t? If not, why punish the man who only acted as the agent of the corporation? What justice is there in a law. or in the execution of q law. which catches only the little fishes and allows the large ones to escape? These are questions in which all good people are in- terested and all should unite in the proper settlement of them, for they extend to and affect all grades and classes of society.
 This Kansas City case is not singular. by any means Jury-bribing is not con- fined to any city or locality It deiiles and bcsmirchcs the courts of almost every large city. There are those who make it profession. The jury hNers''

 It is strange that the name of William Swinton should be omitted from this list. He was The Times correspondent with the army of the Potomac almost during the entire war. and at the close was vir- tually solicited by many of the most dis tinguished survivors of that army to write its history. NAnd for freedom from partisan bias and error. for soundness of discrimination and judgment, that book. written when the atmosphere was load ed with passion and prejudice, is still the best of all the series of war histories. It is no less superior in descriptive talent and literary excellence.

Light Discolors Gems.

14UHUOn TdTtTer.
 The discoloration of precious stones when they have been exposed to inc air for long time is we'll known. Finer aids, i>ibies and sapphires are less sus- ceptible to atmospheric influence. but even they are not exempt from change. 1T two rubies Of the same size and shade are kept for. say. two wears. one in a showcase and the other in absolute dark ness and examination of the stones at the end of that time will invariably show that the showcase ruby has become dis tinctly lighter In color. The most sensi- ble of all stones to variations in light is the opal. This stone draws It's marvellous rainbow reflections from numerous little clefts which allow the light to pass and reflect 1t in different directions. Often the opal stands the manipulation of cut ting and polishing well. and all of a sud den it splits.
