so as to prevent any further detail.
There is no intention ever To use them
against Cuba or otherwise than for the
protection of Cuba from the assaults
of foreign foes and for the better safe
guarding of American interests in the
water south of U.S. These interests
have been largely increased by the con-
sequences of our war with Spain; will
be further increased by our building of
the isthmian canal. and are both mill

Cuba already stands high among the

The treaty submitted for your ap-

No American interest is sacrificed. BY
the treaty large Cuban market is Sc

lies at our doors and is already large

especially important to the develop

indeed shortsighted for us to refuse
to take advantage of such an oppor-

We never object to honest criticism,

public servant, becomes too tender
to be criticised, it is time to lay
that fellow down to rest. But, Mr..

exactly what | am Contending for,
and had it not been for the sake Of
fairness and justice, l would not
have said what / did. We are to-
gether in this particular. The only
difference is, you are contending
for justice in behalf Of Mr.. Schum-

as the courts have the matter in

AS the editor would have it APP

please tell us how much good this
will be to the taxpayers of New
berry county. Then you say we
have good roads machinery. At
the speed it is running now please
tell us about how many miles of
good roads it will build within the
next ten years. Oh, but you say
we have sewerage in the Jail and
courthause! But is it not a fact
that this stan S locked up from the
general public?
Now, bear in mind, the editor has
accused me of being unjust in my
criticism. If don't prove tha! l
have been truthful, according to
the EDITORS own statement, | am
willing to throw up my hand and
cry out guilty. You acknowledged,
Mr. Editor, that SO large a contract
as putting in the sewerage should
not have been let without first adj
vertising for competitive bids. Then
certainly you must say that this is
a reckless way of doing business.
Is it not? | have been informed by
several citizens Of your town that
the work could have been done at a
saving of several hundred dollars to
the county had the contract been let
TO the lowest responsible bidder. You
agree that it was a waste of money
to put sewerage in the basement of
the court houee. Then, according
to your own statement, this was
reckless expenditure. Just what I
said had been done But you say
it was proper to have the sewerage
put in the upstairs to the court
house. Have you forgot that a
little more than year ago you
were among the strongest advocates
of tearing down the old courthouse
and building a new one at some
more suitable place, leaving this
whole public square for the bcne-
fit Of the country people? We we're
heartily in favor Of this plan, Mr..
Editor, and voted with you for a
new court house. Now we hope
that you have not changed your
opinion i'll this respect, and if you
have not, it certainly was a waste
of money to have any improvements
dut on the old building whatever.
You can then ee that while I
Delleve in fairness and Justice that
l also believe in consistency. Yes,
there are many other things that
shall refrain from mentioning.
So, Mr.. Editor, let us never be-
come too tender to bear honest criti-
cisn, and always remember to crit.
else where criticism is due.
And never forget to be consistent.

Preparing for Kansas Suit.

Attorney General Miller and the
him in the defense of the suit brought
by Kansas to put a stop to irrigation
in the Arkansas valley are giving spe-
cial attention to the preparation of ev-
idence to be used on the trial, while
at the same time they are guarding all
the legal points.
In view of the attitude taken by the
members of the Supreme Court on the
argument of the demurrer filed to the
first bill of the plaintiff, it looks as If
the case would not be gained on any
purely legal point, apart from the
facts. Accepting this as a possibility
the attorneys and State Engineer Car
penter are gathering great quantity
of evidence going to show that irriga-
ton in Colorado does not violate any
right enjoyed by the people of Kansas.
Important in this connection are the
measurements of the river which the
state engineer has been making for
some time. BY means of the evidence
thus obtained the inquiries of the Su-
preme Court in regard to certain mat
ters Of fact can be readily answered.
Along the same line are the measure
ments already made By the state en-
gineer showing the course of floods In
the river and what becomes of the wa
ter
AS part of this preparatory work At
torney General Miller has had a search
made of documents bearing upon the
history of the Arkansas river and the
country through which 1t flows. Ex-
plorers who passed along its banks or
crossed 1t years ago are THIS called
upon to testify to the character of the
stream long before there was any irri-
cation to divert its waters.
This historical evidence strongly
supports the assertion made on behalf
of the defense that in an arid region a
stream grows smaller as It proceeds
from its chief source of supply. In hui
mid countries river becomes larger as
it advances toward its mouth. But 1t
is not SO with rivers in an arid region,
as thousands of men in the Rocky
mountains can testify. An arid region
stream loses much of its volume be-
cause the water sinks into the sands,
some OF it finding its way far below
inlo the rock formation. Thus the tes-
timony clearly shows that near the
mountains the Arkansas has always
been a larger stream than 1t Is two or
three hundred miles east Of Pueblo.
1t is the thorough preparation OF the
defense which justifies the hope that
Kansas will fail in its attempt to check
irrigation in this state, thereby de-
stroying millions Of dollars of valuable
property which is the result of the re-
clamation of arid land through irriga-
tion.-Denver Republican.
