blcd finally admits that there is no
such thing as a money question

admit, though probably with some
reluctance, that the money ques-

that Providence is always on the

PUBLIC sentiment is being arous-

efforts OF the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company to transfer one
cubic foot OF water from the Ten
nessee ditch OF that county to the
Bessemer ditch in Pueblo county.
The newspapers declare that the
effort to transfer the wealth of
Chaffee to Pueblo county is sly
game, and advise the people to
wake up and fight the proposition
with all the power they possess,
as it will not do TO allow any pre-
cedent to be established permit.

Chaffee county and applied to
lands east of the mountains. The
case is set in the district court for

One by one the democratic
sheep are gathering into the re.
publican fold. and before the ides
of November their number will be
legion. Senator Cashmere BareIa,
Of Trinidad, was a member OF the
convention that framed the con
stitution OF Colorado, and has
been a senator from Las Amin as
county as democrat continuously
since 1876, being known through
out the state as the father OF the
senate. The senator has Just re-
nounced his allegiance to the
democratic party and will be hence
forth identified with the republi-
cans. Senator Barela is power
among the Mexican population OF
Las Animas county, and he has
been circulating a petition among
Mexican democrats asking them
to go with him into the ranks of
the republicans. The petition has
already been signed by great
number OF Mexican democrats.

The aforesaid alley seems to be

An endless number OF ways" and

flood waters have been suggested,
but as yet no one has devised a
scheme for providing the necessary

posed of delegates from every con-
stituency under our flag.
There was a splendid array of
presidential candidates before the st.
Louis convention, supported by loyal
friends and ardent admirers. An I'M
usually large number of men were
placed in nomination for the greatly
coveted honor. You were chosen
with such enthusiasm as foretells sue
cess. Having, on the only ballot re-
ceived the two-thirds majority indis.
pensable by democratic usage, your
nomination was made unanimous with
the heartiest approval of your illustri-
Gus competitors. Absolute acquiescence
in the decisions of the majority, the
vital principle of republics has ever
been a cardinal tenet of democracy; and
the signs of the times indicate that you
will be supported at the polls by the
democratic hosts with the same unan.
unity with which you were nominated.
The most marked characteristics of
the bulk of the American people are
reverence for the constitution and
obedience to law. Your long and
conspicuous career as a jurist in one
of the highest courts in the world
the period which you have spent in
studying and expounding constitutions
and statutes-causes your country
men to believe that into the exalted
executive Office to which they are
about to call you, you will carry that
profound respect for the constitution
and the law which with you has be-
come a confirmed mental habit and
upon which depends the perpetuity of
our system of government-the best
ever devised by the wit of mana
system whose beneficent results have
made us the most puissant nation on
the whole face of the earth. To pre-
serve it in its integrity and its full
vigor is the high mission of the demo
cratic party whose head you have now
become. Into your hands the democ-
racy has committed its standard with
abiding faith in your courage, your
integrity, your honor, your capacity
and your patriotism, believing that
under your leadership we will achieve
a signal victory, that your administra
ton will be such a fortunate, such
happy era in our annals as to mark the
beginning of long period of demo
cratic ascendency and that you will
SO discharge your duties as to rank in
history as one of the greatest and best
beloved Of American presidents"

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE

Phtlo S. Bennett, the tea and spice
merchant of the firm of Bennett,
Sloan & Co. New York. who be
queathed $4,000 to w. j. Bryan, who Is
nov denied it by the Connecticut su,
preme court, was killed by the over
turning of a stage coach on Aug. 8,
1903, in Idaho, where he was inspect
ing some mining property. For
several years he had been a close per,
sonal friend of Mr.. Bryan. When Mr..
Benefits will was presented for pro
bate it was found that after Mr.. and
Mrs. William J. Bryan were given
100000 for educational purposes he
had given $4,000 to his wife, in trust
to be disposed of in accordance with q
sealed letter which was found with
the will, In this letter he directed her
to pay this money to William J. Bryan
and his family. Mr. Bryan was to
have half of it and the three children
were to receive $4,000 apiece. Mrs.
Bryan to receive the residue accord
ing to letter to Mr. Bryan from Mr..
Bennett which was introduced in court.
Mr.. Benefits estate was valued at
$350,000. OF this he gave $4,000 out
right to his wife ana an interest in
the residue amounting to $4,000
more. To Mr.. Bryan was left $4,000
TO be distributed by him among col
leges for prizes in essays and an ad.
d.tional $4,000 for deserving students
Mrs. Bryan was given $4,000 to be
distributed among deserving giri stu
dents. An additional $1,000 was left
to be supplemented by 1900 more
from Mr. Bryan to build a library az
Mr. Bryan's old home to be known as
the Bryan.Bennett memorial library
The remainder of the estate went to
relatives. William j. Bryan and
Alfred D. Sloan. Mr.. Benefits bust
ness partner, were appointed ex
ecutOrs. Mrs. Bennett protested
against the probating of the will and
sought to have Mr.. Bryan displaced as
executor and the will broken. After
a long fight the will was admitted to
probate on Nov. 6, 1908, but the
sealed letter was disallowed as being
no part of the will The following
day Mr.. Bryan qualified as executor.
The case went to the superior court on
Mr.. Bryan's appeal to have the letter
incorporated as part of the will, where
on March 81 Judge eager ruled
against Mr. Bryan's appeal. Now that
ruling is sustained

BIG BATTLE ON.
Standard Oil Company Begins Fight
Against south Dakota Law.

Sioux Falls, s. d., Aug. 1.-THE
great battle of the state of South Da-
kota against the Standard Oil com
pany Is fairly launched and may con
tinue for years. Some time ago the
company was unsuccessful in its APP
glication before the United States
court for an injunction restraining the
state oil inspector from rejecting Il
large shipment of inferior oil. This
oil was SHIPPED into the state for the
purpose of testing the state law and
the injunction applied for, but not
granted. The company now brings
suit to test the validity of the state
law.
Judge Garland has appointed F. ].
Adams of Sioux Falls special exam.
iner to take testimony in the case in
South Dakota and Illinois. j. Alton
Brooks has been appointed special
examiner to take testimony in the
state of New York, and H. Daughery
in Ohio Testimony will be thus TAX
eli in four states, but most of it will
be in Illinois and South Dakota. and
all must be in by November 1st
The big suit thus started will be
one of the most important ones ever
tried in the state. 1t will probably
equal the waterworks case in compi-
cation and bulk of testimony and it
may last longer. The suit of the
pnmpaDV i'm tryiDo m hroal. dpwn tho
laws of the state of Indiana lasted
seven years.
Hon. Philo Hall of Brookings, attor,
ney general. will represent the state
in the case, and Horner & Stewart of
Pierre and r. S. Eddy of Chicago,
will represent the Standard Oil com.
pany.
