Whether because they deem themselves the whole
shooting match or because of inherent desire TO
neddle northern and politicians and pa
pers are all the while attempting to assume the entire
responsibility of settling the Arkansas rver contention
The residents Of valley who alone directly in
jured by the segregation of waters and who originally
raised the necessary funds brought the suit had the
matter taken of their hands by the state attorney
and who subsequently, purposely otherwise fell down
in prompt prosecution Later the legislature qubbled
over the matter In the time, Notwithstanding
the United States supreme strongly intmated that
there was something in the case the newspapers and
politicians of north and east continued to belitte
the effort to suggest compromise and to maintain that
thee was nothing to the the Arkansas river farm

damaeed If there is nothing the why the desire
Of Colorado for compromise stipulatng that that state

It would the residents-of this the greatest
widest and longest valley in the state should the entire

weary to the verge Of disgust trailing after the suppos

THE COST OF THE KKANsAs FLOOD.

The national weather bureau at Washington has Sc
cured sufficient statistics warrant its head in asserting
that the food which did such great damage along the
Kaw river and its tributaries subsequently along the
lower Missouri Mississippi this spring the

life notably at Galveston at Johnstown and at other
places the damage by the food of 1903 far

PENSIONS FOR COLLEGE PROFESSORS.

An excellent praiseworthy plan is that pro-
posed by Cornell University for pensioning of its pro-
feso who retired after reaching the age of seventy
years One hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been
given the university for this purpose and this amount
will be placed at compound interest until 1914 when it
will $255000 Each professor retired will re-
ceive an anual pension $500 hTeefourths of which
will be paid from the pension fund, and onefourth OF
which will contributed by the professors 1t expect
ed however that professors who reach the age limit
before 1914 win also receive the benefits of the pension
scheme The salaries paid in even our largest and
wealthiest universities compared with
those received by of greater ability engaged in
mercantile pursuits and this together with the
other demands made the professors makes
it almost impossible for them to save anything

MRS. LIFE AND MR.. DEATH.

By William Ernest Henley.
Mrs Life's piece in bloom
Death goes dogging everywhere:
She's the tenant Of the room,
He's the ruffan on the stair.
You shall see her as a friend,
You shall blk him once or twice;
But he'll trap you in the end,
And he'll stick you for her price.
With his kneebones at your chest,
And his knuckles at your throat,
You would reason. plead, protest!
Clutching at her petticoat-
But she's heard it all before,
Well she knows you've had your fun.
So her frlls flush through the door,
And her old mans job is done.

The AMERICAN VERSUS ENGLISH WORKMAN.

American workngmen should take to heart the lesson
to be derived report Of the commission Of British
workingmen who visited this country months ago
to investigate industrial conditions. The delegates differ
widely on many points but they unanimous in two
conclusions namely that the British workman, has moth
ing to learn from American workman while British
employers far advanced the Americans in
the treatment Of their employees Mr. Alfred Moseley,
who brought the delegates here that the American
workman has far better education is infinitely better
paid housed fed and clothed, and. moreover, is much
sober the British. While all this has been
and realized before by competent observers it is
good to have such testimony from such 1t ought
to lead American workingmen to adopt kinder and
concatory attitude toward their employers than
many of them have done The American employer is IN
closer more sympathetic touch with his wOrkmen for the
simple reason that he is generally who has risen
from the ranks of workingmen himself.
