Democracy's Bad Record

When the veterans Of the Civil War
were with General Grant before Rich
mond or with Sherman marching to
the sea, a Democratic national con-
vention declared the war failure
and demanded dishonorable peace.
When the business men, the wage
earners and honest men of all classes
were battling for sound money and
the gold standard the Democratic
party, as an organization, was clamor-
ing for free silver at Is to 1. When
the Republican party was contending
for protection to American manufac-
turers and workmen, its opponents
were advocating a policy destructive
to both. What good thing has the
Democratic party ever done. any
how?

Democrats Admire Roosevelt.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced to admit that President Roose-
velt's letter of acceptance is a strenu-
GUS presentation of the issues from a
Republican standpoint. Even the New
York World and Denver Times COM
mend the presidents Keynote" The
fact is, there is not Democrat in the
land who does not admire Mr.. Roose-
velt's direct way Of going at things,
and all would vote for him if they
could at the same time retain their
party organization. There will be NO
real regret among Democrats when
Mr.. Roosevelt is elected He is ten
times more popular with the mass of
Democracy than Judge Parker is.

Personal Abuse Will Not Win.

The Democratic party has been so
long IL the opposition and it's every
day work has SO long been criticism,
that it forgets that no battle was ever
won by swearing at the enemy. Abuse
of Mr.. Roosevelt will make votes for
him He is very popular man.
Personal criticism will not draw
away from him any man who adj
mires him, but it will stir his admirers
to the more earnest support of him.

Embroidery as a Rest cdre.

Some Of the present-day women ap-
pear to be as expert with the needle as
were their tapestry-loving forbears.
The cult Of the needle Is little by little
appearing in our midst. 1t is a restful
and eminently graceful art, and doctors
aver that if women would Spend even
an hour day over their embroidery
frames nervous collapses would be far
less frequent. Needlework ensures re-
pose from the never-ending rush of
affairs; it requires, too, good deal of
thought; the sorting of the tolors, the
shading Of the details, the fitting in of
the design, all this occupy the mind,
necessitating the close attention Of the
worker, and taking her thoughts away
from more weafing topics.

No More Questions.

Excitement over politics always runs
high in the city district represented by
James McAndrews. He was to address
his constituents one night during the
last campaign, wien the chairman of
the meeting, big fellow named
Murphy, asked if there was any one
who wanted to ask question. No one
answered.
"Does any one wish to ask question
before the speaking begins?n again
asked Murphy, 49,.
Mister chairmanJ I would like to
ask a. few questions said one man.
Instantly he was thrown out of the
hall. -

ask a, question:" again asked Chair
man Murphy. Seeing no one rise, he
added: "If not. the speaking will

Heaven is happiness. That is the
natural result of eliminating sin rs

of human unhappiness is the result of
sin. As we look into our lives, we find
that our own sins are responsible for a
large portion of our sorrows, and, out
of the remainder, another large per-
centage are due to the wrongdoing of
Others. Cleanse the world from sin,

shall there be any more pain; for the

Have You Had Your Farm vaeseinateda

This will soon be common question
among agricultu says the Epworth
Herald. OF all the strange discoveries
of these strange times the incubation
Of clover field would seem to be the
strangest. A SCIENTIST connected with
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has discovered way of putting
into the soil the nitrogen of the air.
WORKOUT soils are soils which have lost
their nitrogen. Ordinary .fertilizing is
one method Of restoring 1t. But a
certain class of plants-peas, beans,
clover, alfalfa, and the like-also re-
stores nitrogen to the soil, as farmers
have long known. a German chemist
sometime ago discovered that these
plants took nitrogen directly from the
air by means of bacteria which flourish
on their roots, and which absorb nitro-
gen from the air and convert it into
plant food. DIR. Moore, the scientist
first referred to, has discovered a way
of cultivating these bacteria and in
creasing their appetite for nitrogen.
The Department of Agriculture has
begun q. system of distributing these
bacteria to the farmers. They, in turn,
soak the seed which they desire to
plant in a solution which swarms with
these bacteria, The process Is applied
only to plants of the class mentioned,
but it's results are simply marvellous.
And SO it is something more than a
joke when farmers ask each other the
question quoted aboxe. 1t is a sign of
the modern scientific methods which
are being applied to agriculture.

SOME QUESTIONS.

There appeared on the first page of
the last issue IF the Mancos Times an
able article evidently intendent to dis
courage the voting OF bonds by the
Montezuma Valley Irrigation district.
The argument set forth in this item
calls attention to an interview with
attaches of the present water company,
and gives sonic statements made by
them. If these statements are true,
we know of no more convincing evil
denct that could be presented to the
ranchers of the Montezuma valley to
slow that tie thihg fot tlieiii to do is
to get water system of their own.
The TIMES says that the expense of
the present system this year was 1000
more than the income, and unless the
Sl60 rate was paid the system would
be closed down next yeaf. Now il this
is true and it costs such an immense
sum for running expenses for the
present Inadequate system what would
it cost after the System is enlarged to
iuluiSh VIC iuU CuDlC iect thdt uIc "
be sold to the ranchels for 800, 900? 1t
wouldn't take long to eat up 100000
in running expense to SLY nothing
about the first cost of building bitches
and storage reservoirs. Is there not
danger that after the ten years are past
and the 100000 paid In that the rum
ming expense may be So great that the
ranchefs will refuse to pay it, and
might not a receiver be appointed and
the system closed down?
The Times wants To know where the
bonds would be sold, stating that Mr..
Farwell would not buy them. Who is
security for the 100000 the present
company wants to put in their system
and which they give the ranchers ten
years to pay? Is it not the real estate
owned by THE ranchers of the Montezu-
ma valley: Would such proposition
have been made by the present Water
company or any other company if the
security was not good? This same
real estate is security for the bonds,
and is 'gilt-edged" for not only $780,
600 but for many times that amount.
The Time also slurringly hints about
This can be expected, but
we notice that right generally tri-
umphs and that litigation sometimes
reveals facts to the masses that would
otherwise remain hid.
We are sorry that the present differ
ences exist between the Water COM
pany and the ranchers. Bht one thing
is certain, these conditions will never
right themselves, and before the ranch
ers caii do anything they must have
money, and tile way to get money is to
vote bonds. There is no doubt but that
they vii, sell aud at a premium too.
After the bonds are voted. the .old
system may be for sale. The district
might buy it to, furnish water, for
domestic purposes for n few months
until the new system was In shape for
running water.
