A VOICE FROM THE PAST.
t'Maud s" Admirers Protest Against
Lou Dillon's Record.

New York, Dec. 2s.-The sons of the
late Robert Bonner have lodged with
the American Trotting Register associ-
alton, a protest against the official
recognition of the record made by Lou
Dillon, which, at the Chenille track
at Cleveland, last September started to
beat the record of 2:OSA, made by
Robert Bonner's great mare, Maud S.,
eighteen years before. Lou Dillon
trotted the mile in 2:05.
Maud S. made her record hitched to
an old fashioned. high wheel sulky and
was not aided in her performance by
any of the contrivances now in use.
The Boomers assert that a wind shield
preceded Lou Dillon and she was as
sisted by a sulky with ball bearing
axles.

RECOHPENSE.

There must be far away somewhere
4 realm in which glad angels dwell,
Not merely that we may have there
Sublime rewards for doing well.
Not just that good men may al last
Receive the favor of the Lord.
For they are bIest who do their best.
Sweet virtue is its own reward
Yet there must be. far of. some place
In which the mother who has died
Ere gazing on her babys face
May with her mother love abide
For her thus robbed of joy there must
Be future endless glory where,
Her waiting past, God shall, at last,
Consign her dear one to her care
There must be some fair place beyond
The silent grave. where he may rise
Who never has Beheld the fond
Look God put in his mothers eyes;
For him thus robbed how can there b.
A recon- psaSe save there above
Where. in her arms clasped joyously,
He may at last learn all her love?

Blame Put on Lorimer.

The Republicans of Chicago have cast
about until they have found some one
to blame for the defeat OF the Hon.
Graeme Stewart, Republican national
committeeman for Illinois, in the recent
mayoralty race and the election Of the
Hon. Carter H. Harrison for fourth
term. The disaster which befell Mr..
Stewart last Tuesday is all charged up
to the Hon. BILLY" Lorimer. member OF
Congress and the accredited Republican
boss of the city
Judge Hanecy, who was candidate
against Mayor Harrison two years ago,
and who is hand in glove with Lorimer,
also comes in for a good share of the re-
sponsibiIity for the defeat of the Re
publican nominee Just as II Mr.. Lori
mer had not already trouble enough
upon his hands in the contest made
against him for his seat in the House
the Republicans are now curstng hin

RESULTS OF IRRIGATION
IN SALT RIVER VALLEY

Recent Investigations made by the
United States Geodotie Survey in Salt
River Valley, Arizona, show that he
channels OF the river, drained dry by
the irrigation canals. are replenished by
seepage waters from irrigation areas
Similar conditions exist along the ella
River. and along many other rivers IN
the arid region where irrigation is pTae-
ticed It is thought that a large per-
ton il not all OF the water appearing
in the river channels below points where
all OF the water is diverted for irriga-
ton purposes. is surface water from the
irrigated land
For several years the photographic
branch of the Survey has made inyesti-
cations and collected data in the arid
region to determine the relation between
the quantity of water diverted for irri-
cation projects and the quantity that
returns TO the channels OF the streams
by seepage.

4 Park for Georgetown.
The Western Part of the City Entitled
TO Breathing Space.


We think the Georgetown Citizens
Association Is fully justified in urg-
ing on the District Commissioners the
creation of one or more small parks
IN the western section Of the city. As
the petitioners point out, Georgetown
has at present not a single breathing
space, It's lack of squares, circles, and
other street-interseetion reservations
contrasting strongly with their multi
plieity IN every other quarter of the
Capital.

How King Gets Leave of Absence.

With regard to the cruise which King
Edward is now making in the Mediter-
ranean. no mention has been made Of the
fact that before starting he was obliged
to obtain the sanction OF the privy COM
ell. According TO unwritten Law in Eng
land, the sovereign may not sleep at Il
greater distance from the metropolis
than fifty miles without the express
sanction of the privy council. 1t was be
cause Of the existence of this rule that
the so-calIed Pavilion was erected al

TO the illegal practice OF goteb buying and

learned something of the methods by
which the little State is governed, or,
more properly speaking. misgoverned.
The constitution of Rhode Island is
framed. to say nothing Of the unjust tax
