1T WAS LIKE HIM.


In Washington the cthsr day there
was parade Of Spanish War vet
Grams and the President was invited
to review them. He declined. on the
plea that public business was too
pressing. Soon after the parade
started he and Mrs. Roosevelt started
out for . drive. His route carried him
across Pennsylvania Avenue along
which the procession was passing. and
this Is what occurred. as reported ny
the press:
AS the carriage reached Pennsyl-
for the passing OF the soldiers. The
line, however. was longer than the
patience of the President. so he or
dered the driver to proceed. thus TAX
citizens who desired to cross the Ave-
nue. along the route of the march.
1t is simply impossible for Roose-
welt to avoid showing his contempt
for conventionalties, ana at times his
total disregard Of common decency.
After all that he has mad to say about
the Spanish war ana those connected
with it one would reasonably suppose
that he would have been dee-lighted
to comply with their thoroughly prop
err request, but he treated them with
contempt, and, il the printed account
is correct, he treated the truth about
the same way when he said public
business prevented him from accept
ing their invitation.
Then. in driving through the line Of
parade he was guilty of discourtesy
which we might expect of a boor but
not from a President of the United
States. Had private citizen tried to
drive his carriage through the pro-
cession he would have peen promptly
stopped, but we suppose he wanted to
show them that he is above all law
and not amenable to the ordinary
rules of common courtesy. The act
was an insult to the veterans and
those in charge of the parade should
have turned his carriage back and
forced him to wait or take another
route. However, the affair WAS so
distinctly Rooseveltian that no sur
prise need be felt over 1t.

A far less quantity Of bread and
meat, per capita, is consumed in this
country than formerly.
Another matter overlooked by this
modern disciple of Nautilus is the fact,
which should be apparent to him, that
SO much land formerly looked on as
desert, and incapable Of being culti-
waited. is continually being brought in
to profitable use. Irrigation, fertili-
zation. adaptation and selection of
! plants, have all combined to bring
into profitable tillage the most I'M
promising wild lands of the Western
regions and to make comfortable
homes of them. This process is con-
tinually going forward and with in
creased success.
.-r;.l another fact Mr. Hill strangely
lakes no account of is that the capac-
ity of land to produce greater crops is
almost without limit. We are con-
, stantly reading of enormous yields
from small areas. One farmer devotes
special care and attention to one acre
of land and gathers as much corn
from ii average farmer gets
from ten acres. Another shows the
same result with wheat, another with
potatoes, and SO on through the en-
tire range of edible crops. These phe-
nomenal yields on small patches of
land show what can be done
much larger scale when necessity de-
mands it. Just how far this increase
may he carried, or where is the limit
no one may safely say. but it is
enough to feel that with increased
knowledge of what can be used for
food with increased crops on the land
now cultivated, and with new lands
coming into use. we can see no rea-
son for any alarm over Nautilus or
Hill as prophets Of evil days to come.

TO say
An elaborate banquet was given iu
his honor at the Sheridan hotel al
which distinguished members OF tho
bar from other counties were present
among them Hon. John c. Bell OF
Montrose and Judge Story of Ouray
L. W. Allen introduced resolution
extending the appreciation of the bar
OF San Miguel county of the Judge
services. his fairness in presiding, ex-
tending thanks for his many couTte-
sizes shown and pralsing him for his
sterling worth and the credit he hal
been to the bench OF the seventh iu-
dicial district during his encumbency
The resolution was adopted with en-
thusiasm after which the judge was
pre- sented with a handsome portrait
of the members of the bar of San Mi
guel county. In response, Judge Stev-
ems showed evidence of being deeply
touched and he choked up nj an effort
TO suppress the tears but then his
big manly heart burst forth in fun
appreciation of the kindnesses and
honor bestowed by his friends ana
fellow workers in the vineyard.
Anyone who knows Judge Stevens
can realize just how such an affair
would affect him. He is one of the
most tender hearted men in the state
one of the most generous, one of the
most honorable, and the Telluride
legal lights did themselves proud in
honoring him.
