A Substitute For the Big Stick

The New York Evening Post face tiously suggests that advertising might we'll be employed for the pre- YentiOn or settlement of international disputes. Had the mikado inserted heavy display lads" in the Russian newspapers presenting his case in a moderate and conciliatory manner the Post thinks that the bloody conflict in Manchuria might have been averted
 It may be after all that our New York contemporary is only a few years in advance of its time. Advertising has already been successfully applied to the adjustment of industrial and rail- road disagreements. It is a wonderful power. Printers ink may yet prove mightier than the sword. Who knows? !?

protection from insects and bugs that are household pests. He continues:
 Screening against mosquitoes and
 flies and protection from reaches. clothes moths and various small para sites. with and without wings. are a charge on every domestic establish ment. If the sums expended for de- fense against such pests were tabu lated for the whole country. the an nual total would be at least $5O,OOO- 900 and possibly would be double that Thus, and in view of other considerations, it is believed that the yearly loss of over $7OO,OOO OO0 cred tied to injurious insects of the United States is much below the actual fact. It is a frightful tax upon the people, and the problem of lessening it is the most important that is presented to the economic entOmOlOgist."

The Expensive Bugs

The cost of feeding bugs in the United States, according to a writer in the Saturday Evening Post, is con- siderably greater than the cost of maintaining the government. We are told by this writer that the bugs eat S700, 900 worth of first-class food every year as a minimum. From that figure their devastations range up be- yond the billion mark, according to the season and the effectiveness of methods of exterminating them.
 The greatest amount of bug damage is caused among the cereals, where the annual loss is placed at $200, ,OO0,- 900. Other losses are: Hay and for age. $5S.OOO.OOO; cotton. $5O,OOO, 900: tobacco. $5,SOO,OOO; truck crops, s53,- 100000; sugar, $5,O00, 900; fruit. s27.- 100000; forests and forest products, $111,0OO,000; miscellaneous crops. $5.- S0O.0OO; animal products. S175,0 900: products in storage, $1OO, ,OOO, 900. These enormous losses are going on year af- ter year and the entomologists seem unable to prevent them.
 At the head of the list of pests stands the chinch bug. which damages the wheat crop to the extent of S6O.- OOO,O00 annually. Next in order are the grasshopper. s5O.OOO. 1000; Hessian fly. $4O.OOO.OOO; corn root worm, S2O.- 100000; corn ear worm, $2O,OOO .OOO; cotton boil weevil. $2O.OOO. 900; codIin moth, S20.0OO.OOO; army worm, s15.- oO0,00O; cotton boil worm, 12.OOO. 900; grain weeviI, $1O.OO0.OOO; San Jose scale. s1O.OOOO.OOO: cotton leaf worm. $S,000.O0O; potato bug. $S.OOO, 900; cab bage worm. s5.OOO.OOO. This makes total of $29S.OOO,O 900 for only fourteen insects and t must be understood that minimum figures are given. The damage done by miscellaneous insects makes up the grand total already given.

GOODNESS OF A WooER.

Captain Richard PiersOn Hobson, of Merrimac fame, was being compliment ed on his cOOlness under trying cir cumstances. The captain declared that the finest exhibition of nerve that he ever heard of was given. some years ago, by a friend of his. This gentle man fell in love with a beautiful wid- ow to whom he proposed one evening. The widow gazed into the fire thought fully. Then in a tow, appealing voice. she said
 Don't make me answer immediate ly; give me d little time for thought. |"
 Very good" said Hobson's friend. "how long do you want?"
 "A half hour" murmured the widow
 "A half hour be it." said the suitor, taking up his hat. And in the mean while" he added. "TlI just go down to Smiths and get a shave"

Jerome and Kansas

District Attorney Jerome and Tom Lawson went to Kansas. a-lecturing, at the same time. Lawson made more or less of a hit but Jerome encounter ed a frost He made the mistake of treating the trusts as joke. That wouldn't do-in Kansas.
 The New York World suggests that MT Jerome. who returned to New York with a rather poor opinion of the Kansas sense of humOr. is prob ably unfamiliar with George Eliots wise remark that "a difference of taste in jests is a great strain on the affec- tions;" that otherwise he would not have joked with Kansas, and he would not be surprised that he was taken seriously when he advocated two sets of statutes, lone for the moral yearn- ings of rural communities"
 Kansas is a serious state and never jests with serious things. The blood of the Roundhead flows in the veins of it's people Nowhere else in the country is the old Puritan spirit so keenly alive. Not even in New Eng land is the New England conscience so inexorably alert. Toward all forms of human oppression the attitude of the type-citizen of Kansas is still that of the man Macaulay so vividly paint ed-"He prostrated himself before his Maker. but he set his foot on the neck of his king"
 In the east the people of Kansas are joyously and hilariously known as cranks. From the eastern point of view they doubtless are cranks. They have convictions and are willing to fight for them. Their manners. GUS toms and laws were shaped by the men of Massachusetts and COnnecti- cut who went westward to make Kan sas a free state or die in the attempt. They shot as they prayed. and did both exceedingly well. Their descend ants have kept the faith and preserved the old passionate hatred of bondage in any form.
 When q corporation expresses Kan sas, Kansas fights. When the laws of Kansas are violated, Kansas fights. When a trust interferes with the rights of Kansas citizens, Kansas fights.
 Its people may not be we'll versed in CoOley's "COnstitutionaI Limitations,' but they know the Declaration of In- dependence. They may not be so fla miliar as they should with their polit- ical economy, but they know what they don't like, and they are not afraid to resist abuses lest somebody think them eccentric.
 There is nothing at all the matter with Kansas, and if it's sense of humor saddens MT. Jerome it's regard for the enforcement of law is worthy of his most distinguished consideration

There Is no Land to Waste

The opening up of the great Indian
 reservations of the west, an example
 of which is afforded by the opening of
 the Uintah reservation in northeastern
 Utah, marks a notable era in the progress of western development
 Within the past few years the Am erican people have been brought clearly within sight of the limits of their national domain, and the ulti- mate frontier is no longer lost in the dim distance of time or surface.
 It is true that if the Indian is to en- dure as a race and to become a per manent element in the national com ern civilized conditions, and he can no longer be permitted to continue the savage or semi savage life of the res- ervations.
 But the need of the Indians is not the only thing to be considered. The American people, citizens of a nation Of continental proportions, have a right to insist that the occupation Of the national domain shall be upon terms that will be conducive to the welfare of the people as a whole.
 Up to a certain limit the right of individual ownership is a necessity for industry. business and civilization. But the right of individual ownership may be carried to such an extreme as to conflict with that public safety that is the supreme law.
 The opening of the Indian reserva- tions of the west is being accomplish ed upon terms that involve no injus- tice either to the Indians or to the whites, and forms portion of a much larger movement that has as it's pur- tional territory for the benefit of the people. It is for this same purpose that immense areas in the west are being set aside as forest reserves. for it has been found that the protection of the forests is necessary in order to For the same purpose also the United States government is now aiding in the construction of the great dams and canals that promise to establish a new record for the engineering works of this class.
 The development of the arid west offers many new problems and re- quires many novel methods of coop erative effort. Laws must be modified. customs must be changed, humanity itself must be adapted to meet the new conditions. But progress is be- ing made along all these lines, and the final result will be that every part of the western region will serve some useful purpose. There will not be the sameness that prevails in eastern states, but as forest reserve, water shed. mining district, cUltivatable field or grazing land, every part of the arid west will have its use for the general good, and little, if any of it will be waste" land.

Dead in Chair.

Robert Wilbreham, the old bach.
elor farmer three miles west of the
city, was found dead in his chair
last Monday morning by neighbors.
Extreme alcoholism was without
doubt, the cause of death.
Wilbreham formerly had boon
companion and partner in the farm
Ing business. His name was Alfred
Dixon, and he died under almost
similar circumstances about a year
ago. The two had been on a pro.
longed spree and finally neighbors
failing to notice either of the two
men about their house made an in
vestigation. They found Dixon ly.
ing on the bed, dead, with Wilbre-
ham near by stupitied by liouor.
When he was aroused.the only effort
he made was to climb into the bed
with his dead friend.
The fate of his friend did in
no way change the habits of Wilbre.
ham and his death only caused the
end OF two weeks spree.
Wllbreham had brother in Chi
cago, who will likely fall heir to
the farm valued at about $4,000.

TROUBLE
Ault Real Estate Man is up
Against it

According to reports from Denver
the Illinois authorities are having
all kinds of trouble in securing pos
session of the person of Alfred J.
Tingwald, who was arrested at Ault
a few days ago upon request from
the sheriff of Denver county.
1t is charged in the papers that
Tingwald was indicted by the grand
jury Of Cook county, Illinois, for the
alleged crime of securing 1852 from
one Gust C. Carlson under false pre-.
lenses. Tingwald, it is charged,
represented to Carlson that he
owned $40 acres Of land in Cheyenne
county, Colorado, and had authority
to sell the same.
The indictment was returned last
January. Tingwald will set up in
his defense that he is not in Colo
RADIO as fugitive from Justice; that
he has established himself in busi-
ness here and advertises his business
widely. Moreover, .that he did not
secure the money under false pre-
lenses.
Tingwald had set up real estate
office In Ault and was cutting rather
a wide swath in matters of business
there, and was also popular as a
singer and entertainer. His arrest
came as complete surprise to the
people of Ault, who looked upon the
man as h1stling business man and
valuable addition to the towns
population.

sides. So he just let Mr.. Jacobs

ance) went about his work. He be-
came so busy that for long time he
forgot all about the attorney who
was all this time locked in. When
he finally did think Of the man, he
had been locked up over an hour, and
Mr.. Jacobs might have been fined for
being late in court. Fortunately he
had no case coming up that morning.

BIG SCHEME

HERE 10 BLOOM
F, C. Cradle and Associates
Planning Big Things With
Arid Land-Beneflt to
Greeley

According to plans by +. {. Cradle
and associates the country north OF
and east of Greeley will within the
next few years be made one of the
most prosperous sections in Colorado,
and will serve to extend the famous
Greeley district miles and miles
eastward and north.
Mr.. Cradle has quietly been buy
ing land in that section and now
has 80 full sections, or %, 600 acres.
Not an acre OF this, it is claimed,
will be put upon the market until
water has been developed. 1t is es-
timated that it will cost in the
neighborhood of SO, 600, 600 to get
water for all of this land, but here
tofore Mr.. Cradle has been able
to make good upon all his schemes,
and those who know him believe
that he will carry through the pres
ent one.
There are a number OF small
streams running through the lands
and many excellent reservoir sites
either upon the land or near enough
to make them available. These
will be developed and made use of as
fast as is desirable. There are times
during heavy rains that any guam
tity of water could be stored if the
reservoirs were there, and the COM
pany promises that they will be
there within the next year or two.
Mr.. Cradle promoted the North
Poudre Irrigation company and was
largely Instrumental in building up
the country north Of Fort Collins,
founding the town of Wellington,
and otherwise benefitting that Sec
tion. The Wellington deal was
small compared with the one now in
course of development.
Where Greeley is going to be bene-
flied will be in increased trade and
possibly, and even probably, another
railroad. Mr.. Cradle has conf.
dence that the Burlington road is
coming through in the vicinity OF
one of the new towns that he will
found. 1t is probable ever that the
road will be through there before the
town is started, in order that the
best location along the road may be
selected.
The land is too far from railroad
now to make it desirable for farm
ing, and it is not likely that men
like Mr.. Cradle will spend all kinds
Of money on land unless they know
something about where they are 60.
ing to get their returns, and ii
would seem that the only way they
can get returns is through railroad
in that section.
With the added growth that Gree
ley would be sure Of with the Burl.
ington railroad in here, it would be.
come large enough to begin compet-
ing with Denver for the wholesale
business of northern Colorado.
There are SO many small towns
bobbing up around this section that
a wholesale house, or even several OF
them might we'll find a profitable
business In Greeley.
There are so many of the towns
that must send right through Gree
ley to Denver for their goods. that
could just as we'll be bought right
here, and thus leave the money In
the Greeley district that otherwise
goes to Denver and finally out of the
country altogether.
There is something for the Com
mercial Club to look up in the way
of business expansion.

Many Wheels.

About the ''buggiest" man ever
confined in the Weld county jail has
been there the past week. So near
as can be learned from his rawlings,
which range all the way from
preaching to the most wierd profan-
ity, his name is William Lewis. He
was brought over from Boulder last
Friday by Deputy Sheriff D.. F..
Camp as Weld county charge. He
had not been in his cell here more
than few minutes when he tore
the lavatory out by the roots, and
also destroyed the rest of the plumb
ing that he could lay his hands on.
The officers are puzzled as to Just
who the man is, as so far nobody has
appeared to identify him.
