Ireland to see what she could get out OF
Mr.. Chamberlain in the way of protection

BOSTON, Oct. 7.-General Charles w.
Bartlett of Boston was nominated by the
Massachusetts, democracy for governor
There were no contests for any OF the
places on the ticket.
The only ripple Of discord during the day
came upon the nomination by the conven-
ton of eighteen members at large OF the
state committee. Daniel Y. Toomey of
Springfield made an unsuccessful attempt
to have the convention decree that here
after members of the state committee be
elected directly by the people at the sena-
torial and congressional conventions. Mr..
Toomey charged that the democratic state
committee as at present constituted did not
represent the democratic voters, but was
instead a close corporation that dictated
the party policy and candidates.
No Contest for Governor.
Up to the time that James E. Cotter of
Hyde Park arose to place before the con-
vention the name OF General Bartlett as
the gubernatorial candidate II was believed
that there would be a contest Former
Mayor John II. II. McNamee of Cambridge
had announced that he would make
struggle for the honor Of leading the party
in the coming campaign. To the aurprise
of the convention, however, Mr.. McNamee
did not make any contest, but seconded
General Bsrtlett's nomination.
The platform adopted declares for a re-
vision of the tariff and the free admission
OF coal, iron. lumber. hides, wood pulp
and other raw materials; It commends the
diplomatic courage and sagacity of Pres
ident Roosevelt in aiding to end the war
in the far east; calls for state supervision

The strictness Of the Roosevelt

The strictness Of the Roosevelt
policy is something of a departure
a most wholesome departure-in the
administration of national affairs.
The best evidence that it meets with
popular approval is that it has arons'
ed the opposition of some polite a
within the presidents party and in
spired the admiration OF hosts OF
democrats. II meets with the ap-
proval of tn" masscs everywhere.
Senator Nrwlands nrges democratic
cooperation with the president in

trines. And this support may be

prestige, but rather to its enchance-

Roosevelt, as a Democrat.

Senator NewlHnis WIS not far ont
of the way when ne declared that
the election of Theodore Roosevelt
WAS triumph for the democracy.
Any political event that results in
great and vital good for the country
is beneficial to the great parties of
the nation. A great president is
bound to be good democrat aud
good republican. He cannot be one
or the other exclusively, and be
great. The parties have too much
in common for sound chief execu-
tive to be strict partisan. MIR.
Roosevelt recently declared that 95
per cent. of the acts of an tdninis-
tratIon had nothing whatever to do
with partisan politics. And no oth'r
chief magistrate Of the United States
has been more successful in the per
formance of his duties as president
of all the people than Theodore
Roosevelt
The distinguishing qualities of
Mr.. Roosevelt administration have
been foresight, courage and aggres-
siveness in the enfor. rnent of the
laws. There i neither favoriteism
nor persecution in his policy. He
would have all men, rich and poor,
republicans and democrats, employ.
ers and employed. obey the law and
have the protection of the law.

CongI essmsn Townsend. father OF
the railway regulation bill, which is
supposed to be approved by the
Roosevelt administration, recently
made speech in which he said,
among other things:
ave do not ask wholesale reduc-
ton in rates-that is a bugaboo of
ibe railroads. What we do desire is
a lust and reasonable rate when the
rates ale challenged. The only
right the government has for grant
ing any concession or privilege to a
corporation or an individual is when
it is for the general welfare of the
people. These rights we're granted
to the railroads under the common
law and the right was reserved to see
that the corporations were conduct
ed for the benefit of the people.
The constitution protects these
railroads, as it says they shall not be
compelled to operate at loss, and
that no act which is confiscatory
shall be committed"
Mr.. Townsend's views may be ap.
piled to the Colorado situation. All
that is asked is square deal. Sim
pie justice is the demand, and as
Mr.. Townsend says "The State
that is powerless to provide it is a
failure"

Such being the law of this state,

"The general rule is that when an

The plaintiff company contended
that the law was unconstitutional.
They were supported by the district
court of Otero county. The supreme
court in the opinion written by Jus,
tice Campbell holds the law constitu-
tional and makes an elaborate con
struction Of the act, which is con
trsry to the construction placed on
it by the water commissioners and
the lower courts all over the state
Chief Justice Gabbert and Justice
Steele concurred.
Heretofore the water commission
ers have construed section OF the
act of 1899 regarding the loaning of
water by a senior appropriation to a
junior as the meaning Of the act.
The court upsets this construction
Senior appropriations when they had
no use for their water have loaned it
to juniors, according to the notices
provided in the statute. The decis.
ion of the court is that this cannot
be done by the senior companies be
cause it prejudices the rights of the
intervening junior appropriations and
in effect extends the time of the sen
ior appropriation over that OF the next
junior. The court holds, however,
that if the senior appropriation lends
to Junior water which he would
and could under his appropriation
use himself then the loan is legal
But if he has no further use for the
water which he seeks to loan such a
loan is illegal.
The gist of the opinion is succint
ly set out in the final paragraphs
which follow:
'-An appropriation of right to use
water for irrigation cannot be per.
fected in this state until, among
other things, there has been an act
ual diversion of water from a natur
al stream and within a reasonable
time an application of the same has
been made to a beneficial use. The
appropriation must be made in con
nection with some particular tract of
land, and though it be not essential
to its continued existence that the
application shall be forever confined
to the identical land for which the
diversion WAS made, yet, SO long as
the water is used in connection with
this land it cannot be made to do
duty thereto and at the same time or
in the same season be used for the
irrigation of some other tract, as
against the rights of other sppropri-
