Expect Shooting Stars.

1t may not be generally known,
but the fact is established by as
Economical INVESTIGATION, that, be
sides the regular planets there ale
thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of meteors Of different sizes
moving in regular orbits around
the sun, all invisible to us expect
when they happen to come in con
tact with the earth's atmosphere;
When they become ignited and ex-
plode, flying through the heavens
as Shooting stars" visible until
burnt up or volatilized.
Annually on November Il orI5.
the earth in its orbit cuts the or
bit Of some of the meteors and
caused the appearance OF some
shooting stars"
But periodically every s. years
the earth encounters a swarm of
these bodies, causing a grand and
Respondent display of what is COM
monty called shooting stars.
Such a display occurred on No.
vember IS, 1888, which the writer
witnessed, then 10 years old, when
the mind IS fresh for the reception
of impression. He has no need,
therefore, to resort to the records,
father or grandfather for descrip-
ton the grand phenomenon.
To the observer the mcteors
seemed to start from a certain point
in the heavens and come down on
all sides like large fakes of snow.
1t was a memorable sight. The
very heavens seemed to be falling.
This star-storm caused the greatest
CONSERVATION and alarm, especially
among the ignorant and superstiti-
Gus, who believed that the end of
the world was at hand.
Whether there will be any very
notable display this year cannot
be predicted; but all who live till
1882 may witness a grand sight,
that being the periodical time for
the earth to come in contact again
with that particular swarm of me-
teors.- VIM. Gebhart in Frederick

He has yet two years as President
and he feels that he needs some
first hand knowledge concerning
the undertaking. For that reason
he has gone to the scene of opera
tons. In doing so he has had to
break precedent of long standing.
Few men would have dared to
leave the United States during his
term of Office lest he be too strong
ly criticised by the sticklers for the
old time customs. Not so with
Theodore Roosevelt. A man of
conviction and strong patriotism,
he believes in doing what is best
regardless of petty carping of crit
les and the masses of the people
stand by him and he is right. Con-
ventionalities and presidents are
all right in their places, but they
must not be allowed to stand in
the way of progress and advancing
civilization.

TIE PRESIDENTS VISIT TO PAN
ANA.

The American people have
learned that Theodore Roosevelt
has some ideas of his own and they
are generally such good ones that
his fellow countrymen approved of
them. He occasionally does things
for which he receives criticism,
but that does not deter him from
carrying out his we'll considered
plans. One of the most important
undertakings ever contemplated
by the American people is the dig
ging Of the Panama Canal. That
project has been very near to the
Presidents heart for long, time.
He has been doing everything in
his power to further it and yet he
has worked at some disadvantage.

laratlon indeed, nobody thought
of the platform or talked OF it. 1t
was Hearst, all Hearst, nothing
but Hearst. He stole the nomina-
ton and led the party to a dis
graceful defeat. If that is graft
flying to him he is welcome to the
emotion.
"Mr. Bryan thinks that if the
trend toward Democracy continues
as strong for the next two years
New York can be counted upon as
a Democratic State in 1908. The
situation of the Democratic party
Is this: Mr.. Bryan and his sup
porters are determined that no Cou-
sentative Democrat shall be elect
ed President of the United States
or governor of the State of New
York. On the other hand, con-
servative DEMOCRATS are deter
mined that Mr.. Bryan shall not be
President and that Mr.. Hearst
shall not be governor. If a party
animated by those conflicting SEN
tlments may be said to exhibit a
trend toward increase and in the
direction of power, then nations
are strongest when in the throes
of civil war, and the human sys-
tenn is approaching its highest po-
tenCy when the remnant of vital
forces is struggling against raging
fever.
IF Mr.. Bryan were trying by
these remarks to soften the heart
OF MIR. Hearst the large, free i'm
becility of his comments upon the
New York election might be par
doned out of respect to the per-
sonal motive. But he must know
that Mr.. Hearst has no heart for
those who get in the way of his
political ambitions. Mr.. Bryan is
in his way. He will try to get
him out OF his way in 1908, and,
with the help of Corners, Muir
ply and McCabe, he will make a
beginning of the obviating pro-
cess by securing the Hearst dele
cation from New York. But it
makes very little difference. With
Hearst as a candidate or Bryan as
a candidate New York would be
surely Republican. The rivalry
between the two concerns only the
finding of the answer to the-ques
ton, Which is to get the licking?
So long as both or either have
anything to say about Democratic
politics the trend of the party is
straight down the steep place to-
ward the deep sea.

BRYAN AND THE DEMOCRACY

BRYAN ANU The DEMUCKACI
The New York Times, Demo-
cratic paper Of the old school,
makes some very interesting OBJ
servations on the above subject as
follows:
Thousands of Democrats in
this country are, or lately have
been, laboriously striving to per
suade themselves that Mr.. Bryan
is a man Of intelligence and fairly
sound judgment, but he battles
them. He will not have such an
estimate of This qualities thrust
upon him-not if he can help it.
His Madison Square Garden speech
was a mighty effort to beat back a
rising wave of favorable opinion,
and now, in his comment upon the
defeat of Mr.. Hearst, he floors all
but the most resolute of those who
would like to believe in him.
"As he reads the election re-
turns all over the country they in
dictate "a trend in favor of the
Democratic party Other observ-
ers have been unable to discover a
trend in favor Of the Democratic
party; it has seemed to be a trend
away from the Democrat
party in New York Mr.. Bryan
says that the Democratic party
has won a signal victory in spite
of the tremendous efforts put forth
in behalf of the administration.
At the time Mr.. Bryan made this
comment he supposed, as every
body supposed, that the Demo
cratic candidates for State offices
other than Mr.. Hearst had been
elected. AS it now appears that
the official count may show small
pluralities for the Republican can
didates, Mr.. Bryan's deductions
from what he supposed to be the
fact will have to be called in for re
vision. But that error may be par
doned him. When, however, he
attempts to show that Mr.. Hearst
was beaten, not by the people, but
by McCarren, Mayor Mcclellan,
Mr.. Jerome, Mr.. Croker and the
influence Interpretations, it is made
plain that he has not studied the
election figures. He thinks that
Mr.. Hughes owes his victory, not
to Republican votes, but to Dem
ocratic votes brought to him by
the very men whom he and the
Republican leaders have been de-
nouncing for years. To Mr.. Nc
Carren some part in diminishing
the Hearst vote may fairly be cred
tied. But the mass of the Demo-
Gratis who voted for Hughes were
brought to him by no boss, by
no corporation, but by their own
consciences and their sense of pub
lie duty and public decency. No
body but Mr. Bryan is likely to
acclaim as a significant victory
for the Democracy a vote which
shows the chief candidate, who
was the dominant issue in the cam
paign, some 60, 900 in arrears of
the rest Of his ticket. Most com.
mentators would regard that cir
Culnstance as an indication that
the party had made an unconscion-
able ass Of itself in nominating
such a candidate.
But the Nebraskan oplimist
will have it that, as the rest Of the
ticket stood for the same princi-
pies for which he commended, it is
evident that Mr., Hearst has been
'vindicated on the position taken,
and this must be more gratifying
to him than any personal victory
could be- Principles? Mr.. Hearst's
associates on the ticket stood for
no principles, for nothing what
ever. Nobody thought of them in
connection with any platform dec

Indications Favorable
for a Big Fruit Crop

Orchardists generally are convinced
that the coming season will be one
of exceptional prodigality SO far as
the fruit crop is concerned, unless it
should be injured by late frosts or
some other unexpected contingency,
which, of course, cannot be taken into
consideration at this time. The win
ter has been highly favorable in every
way for the trees and in the natural
process of things the crop ought to
be generous one.
In reply to the question. What is
the outlook for the fruit crop?" the
following answers were CLEANED by
the writer few days ago:
George Diamond-"The fruit buds
have never been in better condition
at this season of the year than they
are now, and it is my opinion the
prospect for big fruit crop in the
Canon City district is excellent"
Dali DeWeese-"I have examined
the fruit lands in my orchard, as well
as in others on Lincoln Park, and am
assured that no injury has been done
by the frosts of the past winter to
the prospective apple and cherry
crops, dltuouSu dDoh, oc pei SCLh'' VI
the pear buds and 25 per cent. of the
plum buds have been killed. While
peaches on unprotected trees have
been injured by the cold weather they
are not all dead by any means, and
on trees that have been covered are
probably all right. There is not over
65 per cent. as many fruit buds on
apple trees in this section this year
as there was in 1905, due to the big
yield last year, and the year before. =

George H. Salie-"As far as my OBJ
servation has extended apples are not
hurt and are now practically out of
| danger from frost. I am of the opin-
ion that very little of our fruit in the
Arkansas Valley has been killed by
the cold weather of the past winter,
although some varieties of plums may
have been injured Most of our Am
erican plums will stand the temper
ature here all right, but, unfortunate
ly, they bloom too early in this cli-
mate and are killed in the spring.
Cherries are not hurt and the harder
varieties, such as the English Marilla,
are about out of danger 1t will be
recalled that last year a heavy frost
came when the apple orchards were
almost in full bloom and it was be-
lieved by many people that there
would be no fruit in consequence, but
there were sufficient fruit buds left
to give us one of the biggest fruit
crops on record. The indications point
| to a splendid crop of nearly all va
rieties of fruit here this season"
Arthur Hubbell-''E Excepting some
of the unprotected peaches and, pos
sibly few of the nectarine varieties
of plums, the fruit buds in the or
chards of Lincoln Park are uninjured
1t may be safely stated that none of
the standard or harder kinds of fruit
have been killed by the frost of the
| last six months. Those varieties that
have been injured by the cold weather
can never be relied on by the orchard
ist in this part of the country, as
source of revenue, and their failure
to make crop this year can hardly
be regarded as a disappointment.
There are not as many apple buds this
season as there was last year, but
there is plenty for a profitable crop
if they come to maturity"
H. B. Ready-"The fruit is in first
class condition and, unless we should
have heavy freeze towards the end
of this month or the first of May be-
lieve we will have a good crop of
nearly all varieties or our horticultur-
al products. The weather was not Sc

E. C. Mitchell-"If indications are
worth anything on prognosticating a
fruit crop the orchardists of the Can
on City district are going to have a
good year The apple trees gave pro-
mise last fall of a big crop this year,
and as there has not been any cold
weather during the past winter to
injure the prospect, it is practically
certain that we will have plenty of
fruit this summer"
James Turnbull-'I do not think
the fruit buds have been injured in
the least by the winter frosts, and un-
less the unexpected happens we are
going to have an abundance of fruit
of all kinds this year. So far as my
examination of the buds has gone

TO HOLD CONVENTIONS
ON WESTERN SLOPE
State Board Of Horticulture Has Plans
for Creating Greater Interest in

IOT JreatiuS bEeateF Interest lu
Work.
While in Denver last week Mr. Geo.
II. Sale, secretary of the Colorado
State horticultural Society, called on
Secretary Mrs. Martha Shoop of the
State Board to talk over some of the
plans for the work of the coming year
more especially for the conventions
to be held next winter.
The plan of having one convention
in Denver in which the Horticultural
Society and the State Board should
unite has been proposed, but another
plan has presented itself which II
is believed will give greater efficiency
to the work and which will be recon-
mended by Secretary Shoop and Mr.
Sale.
1t has been thought by many that
the interests of the grower would be
much better served If the meetings of
the State Board would be held at diff
ferent points over the state. selecting
some large fruit growing center each
year. Many of these districts are
such a distance from Denver that 1t
is impossible to get great number
of the growers present at meeting
held at that city. The plan which
will be recommended for next winter
is to hold the State Board meeting
at some point on the West slope, pos
sibly under the auspices of some To-
cal society in December; the meeting
of the State Society to be held at
Denver in January, during farm
week, when the low rates will draw
many who would not otherwise at
tend.
