DEPEW is SAFE.

= ENATOR CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW,
= "Chauncey de peach" is to succeed
himself. after all, which goes to show
that the influence of Senator Platt and
the Vanderbilt lines is not to be des-
pissed i'm the great state of New York
There are many reasons why Depew
should not be in the United States sem
ate. 1t would be difficult to find one
good reason why he should be there.
As an after dinner speaker Depew has
few superiors. AS a senator he has
done nothing worthy OF mention.
He was sent to the senate in the first
place as the representative Of the
Vanderbilt railroads. He is to be con-
tinued there for the same purpose. If
the people Of the state of New York
could vote for senator, Depew could not
muster respectable percentage of the
ballots. As against a man like former
Governor Black. the only one men
toned as a possible opponent. Depew
wouldn't get enough votes to make it
worth while TO count them Neverthe-
less he is going back to the senate.
This because the people of New York
or any other state. do not elect their
own senator's. Depew was chosen by a
handful Of politicians, headed by Sen
ator Plat and backed by the railroad
interests. The legislature, even, will
have not much more TO say about it
than the people. Its members will be
mere marionettes that viii dance when
the strings are pulled by the master
politicians. And we call ours a popular
form Of government. Nor is Depew the
only man in the senate who would not
be there if the people could vote di-
rectly for them.
one Of the soundest planks in the
Democratic platform is the plank
which demands the adoption Of a con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the election Of senators by direct vote.
Legislatures are too easily handled.
Time and again their choice is not the
choice of a majority Of the people.
something like three-fourths of the
states have addressed. through their
legislatures, memorials to congress
praying for the submission of this
amendment.
The house, we believe. has voted
favorably on the question, but it has
been blocked by the senate, or rather.
by the Republican majority in the SEN
ate, for the Democrats are unanimously
IN favor Of it. But even the Republican
majority viii not dare to delay much
longer the granting OF so obvious a
desire Of the voters.

MODIFIED WATER CONTRACTS

WITH THE CONCESSIONS made by
VI the farmers. the last objection to
the contracts for Big Cottonwood water
disappear In their action Of Thursday,
the farmers showed the good faith of
the declaration made by Ashby Snow,
their attorney, to the Commercial club,
when he said they desired nothing but
a fair contract that would protect their
interests in vital particulars.
Among the points conceded by the
owners Of Big Cottonwood water. were:
An agreement to have the third water
commissioner appointed by an impartial
outsider in case the two commissioners
appointed by the parties at interest
should fail TO agree on the third.
An agreement to accept a maximum
amount Of water from the city, re-
CARELESS of measurements in Big Cot
tonwood creek.
These two very important conces-
sions have been agreed to by the Big
Ditch and Big Cottonwood Canal COM
panies, who own the larger part of the
water on which options have been Sc
cured. It is promised that the Hill
Ditch company will accept the same
notifications. but as this company con-
trolls a comparatively small amount of
water its action is not of vital i'm
portance.
These results wipe out the only prac-
teal and serious objections to the pro-
posed contracts and render possible the
conclusion of the whole matter in
way satisfactory to both the city and
the farmers. To any one sincerely in
terested in the successful development
of the city and its interests, there re-
mains no reason why the bonds should
be opposed at all in the coming cleo
ton.

a WHOLESOME LESSON.

It He CONVICTS in the California
penitentiary at Folsom were given
a wholesome lesson on Thursday. 1t
seems brutal to commend the killing of
human beings, but we hardly think
anybody win argue that the convicts
who were shot down while making an
attempt TO escape got anything but
their deserts. OF the seven men who
were shot five were robbers and two
were murderers. Three Of them were
serving life sentences. one was serving
a term of thirty-six years and the
shortest term man was in for eight
yeas.
ID would be difficult to imagine a
more desperate crew. Had these men
made their escape they would have
terrorized the people living in a wide
section Of California. They would not
have hesitated to rob when it seemed
10 them necessary or to murder any
who blocked their way toward con-

DELIBERATE PLAN TO ROB THE
sookMAkERs DURING THE
CONFUSION.
EXPLOSIONS CAUSE WILD PANIC
GUT SCHEME TO COMMIT ROB.
Berry is A COMPLETE
FAILURE.

Chicago, Aug. ply the explosion
of some dynamite caps and in the
panic that followed it three persons
were injured yesterday afternoon at
the Hawtf orne reco track. 1t is sup
posed that the caps were thrown on
the floor of the betting ring with the
idea OF creating a panic, during
which the cash boxes of the bookn.ak-
ers might be robbed. An attempt
was made to rob one bookmaker, but
it failed. The injured are:
Frank Williams. left foot lacorated;
Mitchell Bruno, right foot laceratcd;
A. M. McGill received severe scalp
wound and was badly bruised in the
panic in the ring. None of the in.
jured is seriously hurt.
The first explosion was caused by
Williams, who, while walking through
the east side of the ring
Stepped on Cap.
It exploded, tearing of his shoe and
decorating his foot severely He fell
to the flaar with cry and instantly
there was cry that an insane man
was discharging his revolver at ran
dom. Immediately there was wild
panic, and while the bookmakers,
selling their cash boxes, bent low in
their booths, the crowd rushed across
to the south side Of the ring in the
effort to escape. Just as the thick of
the throng reached this side of the
ring somebody trod on another cap
and the crowd tore back to the place
where it had started on it's first run.
McGill was knocked down during this
rush and
Was Trampled Upon.
A third explosion took place some
minutes after the panic had been al
layed. 1t occurred just beneath
chair on which Bruno was sitting,
threw him. to the floor, and a portion
of the cap striking his foot, tore it
badly.
While the excitement was at it's
height man made an effort to grab
the cash box of bookmaker doing
business under the name of the
Chicago club. He was knocked down
by clerk and ran away before he
could be arrested.
A search of the betting ring made
after the injured had been removed
revealed number of caps lying
about the floor There is no clue to
the identity of the persons who
placed them there.

mittee appointed by the city council
to attempt a settlement, but from
President Roosevelt.

day, and, while refusing to make pub
lie the nature of the move in pros
pcct admitted something important
was contemplated.

had been in close conference.

he declined to discuss the situation,
except to say: "You may look for
startling developments inside of

Plans Are Indefinite.
Mr.. Carroll intimated strongly, al
though he did not say so, that the ad-
ministration was anxious to do any,
thing it could to end the trouble, al
though it felt that active interference
would arouse the ire of the employers
throughout the country.
Mr.. Carroll spent several weeks in
Chicago studying the strike, but he
has been away for some time. It is
believed he came back to Chicago af-
ter personal conference with the
president.
President Donnelly. after a confer
ence with Mr.. Carroll, refused to dis
cuss matters.
Gen. N. w. Shease, a cattle Iaiser

section were about to appeal to Pres
ident Roosevelt to save them from

OF the Minneapolis Commercial West,
after touring the Northwest Territory,
makes his final report, as follows:
Northwest Canada has suffered Sc.
verely from rust in wheat. It is diff
ficult to estimate the damage in
bushels. In sense an estimate is
little better than a guess, as fields
are in all conditions, from but small
damage to total loss. In our judgment
the maximum of yield in the Province
of Manitoba and the Northwest Terri
tory will not exceed 42,OOO,OOO bush.

be sufficiently serious to drop the
yield to 35,000,000 bushels. It certain.
