AGRICULTURAL LAND.

What the Denver Republican says
lis true of Colorado in the following
article Is also true OF New Mexico:
There n encouragement In every
sale Of agricultural land in this state
which means an addition to our farm
ing population and not merely a
change In ownership.
There il nothing gained BY the
state In the mere substitution OF a
NEW owner for ali old one. But sales
which involve Q division In agricul-
tural tracts, whereby the number of.
farms Is increased Is beneficial
They imply an increase Of population
and more thorough cultivation Of The
land.
What Colorado agriculture especial
" needs Is more intensive farming
III the average size Of the farms
we're reduced to one.fourth what 1t
Is today. thereby multiplying the
farms BY -four. Ii would mean four
Times as great an agricultural popu-
lation and very probably four times
as great an annual product. Under
irrigation land can be made to yield
far more than under the customary
farming operations Of the humid
parts Of the country, and a million
acres In this state under irrigation
can support a much larger population
than al equal area in Kansas or
Nebraska, Hence, whatever increas-
es the number Of farms by reducing
the average acreage increases the
farming population and promotes ag-
ricultural development.

BRYAN SUPPORTS
JUDGE PARKER

Esopus. Aug. 3.-Hon. E. @. Wall
of Wisconsin bought a message direct
from William J. BRYAN, assuring Mr..
Parker that MI. BRYAN is heartily
with the ticket and will place himself
at the disposal of the Democratic nat
ional committee to do everything in
his power to insure party success this
fall
Mr.. Bryan breakfasted with Mr..
Wall in Milwaukee ON July 23. They
have been warm personal friends for
eight years.
Mr. Wall said:
"Mr. Bryan is Democrat and will
never be anything else. While diff
ering on some questions from dele
gates to the st. Louis convention he
realizes that those questions were
passed upon and has accepted the rul-
ing He is satisfied with the platform
adopted and thinks, all circumstances
considered, the platform is for the
best interests of the party at large.
L will not attempt to say that he has
abandoned any of the principles he
advocated in his campaign, but he
thinks if he was right he will event
uaily be vindicated. However he
will not turn from what he believes
to he the duty of every Democrat to
support loyalty the platform and the
ticket of the party
Mr.. Wall added that Mr.. Bryan
would support Parker personally.
Judge Parker was greatly interes-
ted in the Wisconsin situation. Mr..
Wall told him that while Wisconsin
under normal conditions gave 20, 900
plurality to the Republicans. the
breach between the LaFollette and
''Stalwart' factions was of such a
nature that it could not be healed.
He believed that if the Democrats
WHO supported Governor LaFollette
two years ago for the purpose of ad-
ministering rebuke to the faction
headed by Senator Spooner ard Con-
gressmau Babcock. returned to the
party, there was no doubt but that
the Democratic state ticket would be
elected. ''At any rate he said,
wisconsin must at least be counted
as dou btful. -
The appointment of william f.
Sheehan as chairman of the national
executive committee was not a sur
prise to Judge Parker. He was not
surprised because of the selection. as
that was a foregone conclusion. but
because he was under the impression
that the executive committee would
name its own chairman.

Suspects Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Ed. NJ. Hardy went
to Palisades last night to bring down
two men, who had been arrested there
on suspicion that they were the EAR
ties who attempted to pass two checks
in this city yesterday. one on the
Mesa county bank and one on the Sem
ate restaurant.
The men were taken to the bank
this morning and Teller McCurdy
failed to fully recognize them. The
younger of the two men answered the
description and was of the same age
as the boy who made the attempt yos-
terday. but their Identification was
not complete.
The boy who attempted to pass the
check was not over eighteen years of
age and he wore light slouch hat
and his description as given to the
officers tailed almost exactly with
the boy apprehended.
Sheriff Struthers sent them back to
Jail to await further developments.
