NEW ARK, Oct. 4, 1906 Renewed
efforts viii be made to secure a recount
of the vote cast at the primaries for
School Commissioner in the Thirteenth
Ward, where Edward G. George, organi-
zation man, defeated Julius G. Rauch,
on the face of the returns, by three
votes. Chandler w. Riker, as counsel
for Mr.. Rauch, who was the Colby can
didate, said that he would take the neees-
sary steps at once to have the matter
as to recount decided along the lines
indicated in the announcement made by
Chief Justice Gummere, in the Supreme
Court Circuit.
The Chief Justice, as has been told,
while refusing to allow a recount under
the application made TO him several days
ago, pointed out that the contestants
could apply for writ Of mandamus. SO
as to bring the subject before the whole
Supreme Court for final adjudication.
This Mr.. Kicker will be prepared to do,
as soon as the necessary papers have
been made out.
AS far as the application for recount
of the nineteen disputed election dis
tricts, which are also claimed by the
Colby candidates for county committee
is concerned, Mr.. Riker said he had not
vet been consulted about it by the inter-
ested parties, and added that there was
plenty of time for that anyway.
Mr.. Riker appeared before the Chief
Justice in chambers later in the day, and
the result Of the talk was that the court
refused for the present to interfere in the
Rauch contest Mr.. Riker explained that
the returns from one district in the ward
where George and Rauch ran gave the
latter SO votes, but that after the figures
had been turned into the City Clerks
office some of the figures were erased and
George was declared elected BY three
votes.
''The only way car see for lis to get
the matter before your honor added
Mr. Riker, lis for the City Clerk TO state
which way he is going to make his re-
turns to the County Clerk. If he says
George. then | ought to apply for a man.
damus. If he says Rauch. then / will
consent Nobody denies that Raueh was
really nominated, but the sheets do not
figure that way now The clerk should
announce what he proposes to do one
way or the other and leave the way open
for a mandamus or a hearing"
City Attorney Malcolm Mac1ear. who
was present on another matter. informed
the court that he did not represent Mr..
George, and when the Chief Justice re-
marked that he certainly could not make
the City Clerk tell what he would do,
and. that he would think over the situa-
ton, the lawyers departed.

Corporations are looked upon by many
as enemies of the people. Insipcere
politicians use tho cry of down with
corporations" to further their own in
terests. First they infame the public
mind and then they start in to soak
the corporations They get a few con-
cessions and then they forget all about
the dear people" This game has been
worked to death with the result that
the people, Mr. Records belief to the
contrary notwithstanding. have become
wise and can no longer be hoodwinked
by designing politicians.

Now, because he has had falling
out with the Republican leaders and they
are not inclined to give him che support
he thinks he ought to receive from them.
he appeals to the Democrat to hetp him.
There is no reason why any Democrat
should vote for Mayor Fagan. His Re-
publican partisanship would not permit.
him to vote for such distinguished Dom
ocrats as Charles g. Black and Jsmes
Hanfll. For this reason il for no
other, Democrats should be g!ad to find
the Mayor in the predicamens in which
his selfshness and insincesity in tire
cause Of equal taxation kas placed him.

Mayor Pagan, in Mr.. Records letter,
says that the corporations are against
him because they fear that favored priv
iIeges they seek are threatened by his
reelection. What are these favored priv
ileges and wAo are the corporations that
seek them? The Mayor does not say.
If the corporations are against Mayor
Fagan there are no surface indications
of the fact The truth is. the corpora
tions are not losing any sleep over May
or Pagan. They will not lose or gain
by his reelection He is against cor
porations because Mr., Record has told
him it is the popular stand to take.

The Mayor wants the people to be-
lieve that equal taxation can only be OBJ
tained through his election. Mayor, Fa-
gan is for equal taxation but only for
political reasons. If he was sincere in his
professions and held principle above
party, as he would have the people be-
lieye, why did he support Edward G..
Stokes, railroad man, for Governor
against Charles G. Black, one of his own
townsmen and the recognized champion
of equal taxation. James Hamili fought
and voted for equal taxation. His whole
heart was in the cause. No one
doubted his sincerity of purpose. Mayor
Pagan commended Assemblyman HamiH
for his courageous stand for the people.
Mr. Hamill is a neighbor and friend of
Mayor Fagan If thesMayor was sim
cere and held principle above party.
would he not have supported Mr.. Hsmill
when he was up for election? Instead,
he supported the Republican ticket. As
bitter Republican partisan this is what
he should have done. Were he the inde-
pendent citizen and the loyal champion
of the people he now proelaims himself
to be because he finds It to his political
ties and supported the candidates who
he knew were leyal TO the peoples cause.
But the candidates happened to be
Democrats and Mayor Fagan is a Re
publican. He is also politician and he
knew that if he opposed his party candi
dates, though he knew the Democsat:c
nominees were worthy Of support, it
would have stood in his way for future
party prefernent

GOOD ADVICE

One Of the speakers at the Denver
dry farming convention said:
1.-The farmers In the irrigated sec.
tions OF our state are exceedingly
prosperous and is fast proving that
his soils, under the ditch. a mint
gold and silver dollars equal to any
United States mint. These farmers
are fast learning the economical use
Of water, the amount Of seed to use,
the kind Of crops to grow and the
rotation to practice to conserve soil
fertility.
"On lands which can not be irri'
gated. which are believed to be fer
tile, the extent Of which is twenty
five times the area Of our irrigated
lands, your association seeks to en-
courage and foster some system Of
crop production. These lands all lie
within a region which, for want of 6
better term, permit me to call SEM
arid. This region has an average an
hual rainfall OF less than TWENTY, hui
more than eight inches Of rainfall.
Word Of Caution.
"You are we'll aware that farmers
have visited many parts of this region
and that the exceptionally dry year,
of 1873. 1883 and 1893 have proven
disastrous to three generations o
farmers. Some few w~eathered through
and have enjoyed the harvests OF tn
past few years. But you say q be,
ter system Of farming will insure bel
ter results. ! grant that this is tru'
under all circumstances. However
until your proposed system has demon
strated it's ability to produce harvest
in our dry years. when less than tel
inches Of rainfall Is received, permit
me to give a word OF caution. lie
the proposed demonstration farms =
inaugurated, the more the better, bu
do not encourage the small farmer I
invest his limited capital utnil tn
demonstration farms have proven tn
soundness OF the investment. Thcs
farmers cannot afford to lose their In
vested. capital and we can by no mean
afford to have them leave US as cas-
ern Colorado farmers did q few year
ago"

The sowing and the Harvest.

The sowing n n Harvest.
And this idea Of the plant and the
harvest. Of In reality making the
things which are good to eat, which
will satisfy hunger and sustain life,
Is embodied strongly in the human
breast. II needs only to be intelli-
gently awakened and fostered, and the
great success Of the school garden
work all over the country shows the
tremendous importance Of this kind
Of eduaction.
To men who have never watched
anything grow. have never assisted
In It's production, It may eve In all
their existence have occurred that life
is sustained from the soil, and that
every man can provide his own sus-
~tenance from the ground.
At Gr0ton the average size Of the
child's garden Is 10 by 40 feet. The
village Improvement society furnishes
the tools and pays the salary Of the
director. All other supplies are fur
nished, most Of the seed from the de
partment Of agriculture at Washing
ton; all that is expected OF the chill
dren Is to work the garden. The di
rector tells how and when to plant
and provides a good rotation Of crops
Turnips, carrots, cabbages are plant
ed after radishes, lettuce and peas are
done
Enough to Supply the Families.
The children have enough In thei1
gardens to supply their families with
vegetables and to sell some. II not
keep some for winter. One boy rails
ed the following things In his little
garden last year:
Corn so ears, potatoes one-hali
bushel. beans Is quarts. Squash s win
ter. cucumbers 40 winter, pumpkins
8 winter, carrots 200, beets 100, tur
nips 100, parsnips 100, peas / quart
lettuce rs, spinach l bushel, tomatoe,
so, radish 1000, sunowers IS.
Many Of the Gorton gardens have
been perfect all the season, the hes
gardens receiving prizes each Septem
Der.
There IL nothing like a garden, say
the director. Every normal chile
loves It. Back to nature is the tend
ency Of the times. according to Pro
tfessor Bailey again. We must conn
into contact with actual things, no
with museums and collections.
The ideal museum II the out o
doors itself, and the most workabl
museum or laboratory Of any diner
sions Is the school garden. The tim
Is coming-has come with som
schools-when such a laboratory wi
become as much q part of a goo
school equipment as blackboards an
charts. The practical school garde
Is a coming institution.

THEODORE JR. AT HARVARD
Way Likely to Be Made Easy. Not Only u Son Of President. But q Graduate o.
Gro.on School Whose Gsadua's Step into the vy Heart Of Things

Washington, Oct. 23.--Y0ung Theo-
dore Roosevelt has this fall entered
Harvard, the college Of his father.
While his attainment will depend Of
course on himself, he will. neverthe-
less. find his pathway considerably
smoother than that Of the average
boy OF the class Of 90. This for two
reasons, first, because he is a son Of
an old Harvard man, and the presi.
dent, and second, because he Is a Gro
ton boy. which mean a whole lot to a
freshman, for Groton Is one Of the dis.
tinguished Harvard preparatory
schools and Its graduates always step
into the very heart Of things at Cam.
bridge.
Groton town begins Its training
with the extremely young mind. Not
the least interesting Of its educational
work and which Ia destined perhaps
to produce greater effects upon mod.
ern educational systems than even
the famous Groton prep schools, are
the Groton school gardens. These
have already gained some fame and
their results are enthusiastically spo-
ken OF.
Greek and Indian Corn.
Mind development and mind train
Ing may be accomplished as well by
means Of the study Of the farm crops
as Of the dead languages. The study
OF Greek. says Professor Bailey Of
Cornell. Is a no more proper means
OF education than IL the study Of In
dian corn-the mind may be devel-
oped by means OF either one-and
classics and calculus are no more ed
vocational than are machines and po-
tatoes.
The school garden work at Groton
begins with the simple things which
naturally interest a childish mind, and
the first thing they know the young.
sters are learning while they think
they are playing. Then in the next
step the interest In the work takes
hold Of them and they begin to feel
a pride and proprietorship in doing
things and accomplishing results
which grown up people do The won

Japan Concludes Secret Treaty
NTH Celestial Empire.
WILL REORGANlzE ARMY
simultaneously With the Anglo Japa-
nese Treaty One Was Also Concluded
Between China and Japan-Japan will
ReorganiIe and Officer Chinese Army.

Berlin, Sept. l0-The Pressing
Zeitung' is authority for the declara'
tion that secre treaty between Japar
and China was concluded simultaneous.
ly with the signing of the Anglo-Jap'
anese treaty. BY this agreement China
undertakes to maintain an efficient
standing army of 100000 men and this
army, will be increased annually by the
addition of $4,000 soldiers. China will
bear the entire cost OF supporting this
army, but Japan will furnish the neces,
sary officers to command the trops,
thereby guaranteeing that they shall
be kept up to a proper standard of ef'
ficiency. China also promises to main
tain a proportionate number of army
reservists which will be organized by
Japan. sss
The "Zeitung," after giving the terms
of this secret treaty, remarks that it
gives Japan absolute control of the
Chinese empire and transformers the Mi
kado into a worlds dictator.
