The passing OF our venerable old land

procession. One by me-, with slow aad

Few of us-if any one-will pass so greata
number Of mllestones that stand sentry a.
long the pathway Of life as solemn chro-
nometers which mark the passing years.
The life and services of Hugh Mcqueen
are eminently blended with the history OF

REPUBLICAN GRATING ON

(snecial CorresnondenceN

that a change in their condition may be

Just now there are three heads IN the

there is the governor of the canal zone,

is supposed 10 be of supreme authority

THE IRRueATlon CONGRESS-.

N THE HEAT and strife Of politics,
when other forms of irrigation are
being freely engaged in by politicians
and others, it is well to remember the
best sort Of irrigation, that which In
wolves the use of water, and water
alone. The Herald has before called
attention to the fact that the Twelfth
National Irrigation Congress is to be
held this year IN Ell Paso. Tex. The
dates are Nov. 10 to Is, both inclusive.
BY that time the election viii be over,
and those who want to celebrate can
find no better place than FL Paso.
Those who want to forget can also be
accommodated there.
1t is not necessary at this time to
remind Utah people OF the value of the
work done by the National Irrigation
Congress. We had an illustration of It's
work and its methods last year at o.
den. Experts from all over the ma
ton were there TO give instructive talks
on the latest and most scientific meth
DDS of retaining arid lands. The prac-
disability of irrigation was showed in
the splendid display OF fruits, grain and
crops Of every character raised on soil
that was absolutely barren until the
life giving water was turned upon it.
At FL Paso the programme for the
congress proper and the exhibits of
horticultural and agricultural products
viii. in all probability, exceed in value
those in Ogden. Progress is being made
all the time in irrigation matters. Pro-
gress has been made during the last
fourteen months. The speakers at FL
PasO viii have something new to tell
the delegates to the congress, some
thing worth going 10 hear.
Utah. as the mother of irrigation, as
the acknowledged seat and center OF
the new science. should be largely rep
resented at Ell Paso next month. I'm
der the terms of the official call, which
has heretofore been published, this
state viii be entitled to something like
100 delegates. The appointing officer
should see to 1t that only those who
will attend the congress are selected
to act in this capacity Utah should
by all means have a full quota at FL
Paso.
There is another reason why Utah
should be well represented. When we
thought we wanted the permanent
home of the American Mining Congress
in Salt lake the delegates from FL Paso
supported US Loyalty, 1t is up to US 90
reciprOcate.

ANOTHER ROOSEVELT CHANGE.

NO INSTANCE of the change that
" has come over the spirit Of Presi-
dent ROosevelt's dreams since he was
nominated at Chicago to succeed him
self is more remarkable than his pres
ent friendship for the notorious Lou
Payn, former insurance commissioner
of the state of New York When Mr.
Roosevelt was governor Of New York
he kicked Payn out Of Office in a most
uncomplimentary manner. The re
mOval of Payn was, in fact accom-
panied by some exceedingly strong re-
marks from the then Governor Roose-
welt relative to the public and private
life and character of the said Payn.
Six months ago Payn consented to
talk for publication regarding Mr.
Roosevelt's candidacy for the presiden-
tial nomination. During the course Of
that interview he said:
Il cannot believe that the party will
be so asinine as TO nominate Roose-
Welt. But if he should be nominated
he will be the worst beaten man in
this state who ever ran for the presi-
dency."
Well. Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated
Mr.. Payn is still a Republican. He is
out shouting for Roosevelt and pre-
dieting that the president will carry
New York by a tremendous majority.
What has caused this change on the
part of Payn? Can it be the result OF
visit he paid to Sycamore Hill by
invitation of the president? Mr. Payn
was certainly there and he certainly
held an extended conference with the
chief executive. The public will never
know what was said at that confer
ence, but Payn came out Of it a Roose-
welt man.
No politician who could possibly do
l him any good has been too mean and
low to bask in the Roosevelt sunshine
since the Chicago convention. We

on the part of the president What we
do object to are his protestations and
/ the protestations of his friends that he
wants only clean votes, only clean cam
paign methods. The truth is that Mr..
! Roosevelt is perfectly willing 10 be
elected by any sort OF votes or any
/ sort Of methods.
