Speaking for the independent sys-

to talk of political republic with a
financial tyranny; there Is no more
safety in having commerce at the mer-
cy of an absolute ruler than there
would be in having our government
controlled by czar which might be a
benevolent or a cruel one, according to
his whim or abilities or the circum-
stances.
Instead of disturbing our prosper

NINE BILLS MEET
GOVERNORS VETO

Denver, April 14.-Governor Peabody
vetoed nine bills yesterday. The bills
that were vetoed are: S. B. No. 2S1, to
stop the compensation of members OF
state boards; s. b. No. 1872, for the
expenditure of $500 in the purchase
of copies of Mills statutes; S. B. No.
154, allowing humane agents to collect
fees; S. B. No. "a, $1,000 for a fish
hatchery in Grand county; S. B. No. 4,
providing for State Board of Bar
bers' Examiners; H. b. No. 1903 and H.
b. $40, age of consent bills; II. B. No.
Ala and H. B. No. AIS, to add parts Of
San Juan and Montrose counties to
Ouray.
Aside from the county annexation
bill the measure that provided for stop
ping the pay of members of state
boards and that creating board to
examine BARRIERS are probably the most
important 1t had been reported that
the executive was in favor of the bill
cutting off salaries, but he says in We
toeing the measure that he cannot see
why the change should be made. Many
members of state boards had protested
against the changes, some even threat
ening to resign in case it was made.
After stating that he is aware that
the elementary and educational insti-
tutions' boards are serving without pay
and that members of these are glad to
serve. the governor continues: But
our various penal, correctional and
other similar institutions come under
an entirely different sentiment, and the
citizens who fill the boards of control,
while of equal worth and integrity, yet
are doing service for the state for
which they should receive reasonable
compensation. / see no ground why
the state should not pay for every SER
vice so received along economical
lines"
In declining to approve the BARRIERS
board bill the governor had this to
say: From study of the bill and con-
sideration of its provisions. I fail to
discover where the public health and
service demand the protection extended
by this bill, and do not feel that the
public welfare requires such special
legislation"

taking part in the hold-up of the Bur

state to give him his reward. He
knows that with the single exception
of John B. Allen the republican organ
ization of this state has never chosen
a United States senator who was not
willing to do the will Of the railroads
and that Allen was shelved as soon
as the lobby found that it could not
use him
1t must be confessed that Hamilton
has good reason for regarding the
rank and file Of his party as dumb,
6liven cattle in. the hands Of the
railroad lobby. In the last campaign,
although the republican state cOnven-
ton had declared unequivocally for a
railway commission, Levi Ankeny in
an interview at Spokane repudiated
that plank Of the party platform and
as a reward was given the support of
the railroad lobby for the Unitec
States senate. Through the perfdy
and dishonor of republican members
Of the legislature who had secured
lneir election under false pretenses,
having pledged themselves to abide
~ the instructions OF the party plat
form Ankeny was elected and the
railway commission bill was defeated
Hamilton evidently believes that
his sort Of politics will win every
time and he has made haste to align
himself with the railroad lobby at the
outset of his campaign. His declara-
- fnv
member of the state senate he was
never known to fail the lobby when
his vote was needed. 1t remains to
be seen whether or not there is left
in the republican party of this state
enough honor, courage and manhood
to resent the base betrayal of sacred
pledges by the late legislature, and to
force the lobby to retire from the
halls of legislation. The first test on
this question will come at the next
republican state convention. If Gov
ernOr Mcbride should be turned
down and the railway commission
plank of the last state platform be
repudiated, it will prove beyond doubt
that the republican organization of
this state is completely under the
domination of the railroads. In that
event the only hope of the honest and
Independent voters OF the state will
be in the democratic party. which will
thus be given an opportunity to name
the next governor and the next Unit
ed States senator.
1904 will determine for years to come
whether the people or the railroads
shall control the government of the
state and elect its United States SEN
atOrs.

GUILTY OF ASSAULT
Pagan Scott Escapes With
d Fine.
FOlJR HUNDRED DOLLARS THE sum
He Refuses to Pay the Fine and Will
Serve Ii Out in the County
Jail.

Pagan Scott, who stabbed George
Ortell several weeks ago, inflicting
Is knife wounds in the body Of the
latter. was sentenced this morning
by Judge Brents in the superior court
TO pay a fine of 500 and the costs
of the prosecution. When the sen
fenced had been passed Scott inform
ed the court that he would not pay
the fine, but would serve it out in
Jail, and he was Immediately taken
to a cell and locked up.
Scott was charged in the informal
ton filed by the county attorney with
an assault to commit murder. but
when the jury. which tried the case,
came into court after being out sew
eral hours they returned a verdict
finding the defendant guilty of as
sault with intent to inflict q bodily
INJURY upon the person of another"
This verdict Judge Brents declined to
receive On the ground that it was not
in proper form, as it did not find one
there was no considerable provocation
appearing therefor. He sent the jury
back to the jury room for further de
liberation. where they remained
some time and then came into court
and announced that they had found
the defendant "guilty Of assault with
a deadly weapon with intent to inflict
a bodily injury upon the person OF
another, no considerable provocation
appearing therefor"
The court ordered the verdict re-
ceived and filed. when Oscar Cain, at
tOrney for Scott. objected to the yer
dict, claiming that the first verdict
returned by the jury was a valid con-
victiOn Of simple assault and that the
jury and court was without jurisdiC-
ton to proceed farther in the case.
The objection was taken under ad-
visement by the court and this morn
ing the judge took the view of SCOTS
attorney and imposed a fine for sim
PIE assault.
An order has been entered in the
superior court directing Patrick DOwl-
ing. the executor Of the estate of

THE WATER PROBLEM.

There is much merit and common
sense in the plan of Councilman elias
ford to make use of what water can
be developed at Thomas springs in
connection with the present system.
Of course if sufficient water should
be developed on the Thomas ranch
to answer all purposes, the old sys-
TEN could be entirely abandoned. But
to begin with. the water available at
the springs in addition to what might
be developed in the next few months
might be used to furnish a gravity
system to the business part of the
city and the higher residence por-
tiOns not now supplied. and then the
city could take its time to the deVel-
Opment Of an increased supply that
would eventually meet all the needs
of our glowing population. There is
little reason to doubt that Engineers
Kiersted and StOrrOW are right in
their conclusions regarding the exist
ence of an abundance of subterran-
can water on the Thomas ranch and
demands Of a gravity system for u
city Of at least 25,000 people. All that
is needed is the development of this
supply according to scientific princi-
pies. Morley was not a hydraulic en-
gineer. His work was of a hit or miss
character, with more misses than hits
He was good overseer and could
get great deal Of work out Of men
who would submit to being driven.
The flow OF water secured by his
bungling methods at the Thomas
springs is not a fair test Of the sup
ply that might be developed there
under scientific direction.
There is no doubt that public sentl-
ment is opposed to the abandonment
of the Citys $4,000 water right and
$4,000 development work on the
Thomas ranch. and the people VIII
support any reasonable plan for pro
tecting and utilizing the city's inter
ests there. However. the public will
not approve any proposition to pur-
chase half or all of the ranch under
the pretense Of protecting the citys
unQuesuOned right to develop and
use all the subterranean water on the
entire place

Louis James and Frederick Warde.
In the forthcoming engagement OF
Louis James and Frederick Warue
on Tuesday evening at the Wala
Walla theater these famous players
will appear in a brand new play writ
ten for them by Rupert Hughes and
Collin kemper. and entitled "Alexal
der the Great"
AS its name would imply. tn s'15-
ject matter is concerned with T as
& = nCst attractive of the ;-ciont
c-1.sto-, but in building the play, the
authors are credited with having de
velOped their drama on strictly moo
ern lines. There is no blank verse
no long tedious soliloquies, and he
roles Of the traditional type have
likewise been eschewed. Consistent
effort has been made to avoid smOtk
ering the action OF the play in flow
ers Of speech or forced epigram. The
great aim has been for a sustained
heart interest," true and plausible
picture of life, and to illustrate the
pangs Of loves vicissitudes, and the
turmoil and suspense incident to
war, mutiny and conquest.
The two characters around which
the plot reyolves, are Alexander the
Great and Perdiccas, the former to
be played by Mr.. James and the lat
ter by Mr. Warde. The production is
al elaborate one and comprises six
massive scenes. among which are the
kings palace at Macedonia, temple of
AmmOn, tent Of Perdiccas, the walls
of MALTA, the mountain tops and the
banquet tent. The scenery is by AL

ASIA TAKING BREADSTUFFS.

The advance sheets Of the monthly
summary of commerce and finance
for August. which are just at hand,
in presenting statistics Of the grow
ing market on the Pacific for bread
stuffs contain some figures which go
far toward explaining why it is that
the buyers for European account have
found difficulty in purchasing wheat
in this state, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. The markets of Asia
and Oceanica are increasing their de
mand for our breadstuffs at such a
rate that they will soon be prepared
to consume our entire surplus.
During the eight months ending
with August, 1902. our entire ex-
ports of breadstuffs to the foreign
countries bordering on the Pacific az
gregated but $3.955,703 in value, of
which all but S22.S56 was -four. The
countries which took this amount of
breadstuffs were Hongkong, China,
Japan, Australia and the smaller
countries classed in the tables as
other portions of Asia or Oceanica.
During the eight months ending
with August of the current year our
exports Of breadstuffs to these coun-
tries of Asia and Oceanica aggregat-
Ell in value S11,125.S6S, of which
amount S7757756 went in the form of
flour. The total flour exports from
the whole country for the eight
months Of the current year were valu-
ed at s44,SS9,S33, so it appears that
Asia and Oceanica. supplied from the
Pacific states Of the union, during the
eight months consumed more than
One-siXth, Of the entire flour exports
Of the country.
During the corresponding eight
months Of 1901 the total exports of
wheat flour from the country We're
valued at s47.474579. OF which amount
but S2,509.742 went to Asia and
Oceania. Our -four exports to coun-
tries bordering on the Pacific have
therefore gained upwards Of $1,000
600 for a period of eight months, in
the short space of two years. They
are rather more than three times as
great as they were two years ago.
The significance Of these facts. as
affecting the entire wheat growing
industry of the United States, should
not be overlooked. Contrary to the
predictions of many, the market for
4. j l.
enormously in Asia and Oceanica. II
is already so large as to consume a
very large share Of the surplus pro
duct of the Pacific coast states. 1t
will very soon consume the entire
surplus product Of these states, for

TIE amount Of the new area which can
be put into wheat in the future is not
very large. The time is now within
easily measurable distance when
none of the wheat produced on the
Pacific coast will be marketed in
Europe; and the withdrawal Of this
amount Of wheat from the European
market must of necessity result in a
higher price for breadstuffs in Eu-
rope, to the profit of American far
mers.
