1t is the enforcement of law that
counts, and not its presence in the
statutes. The restrictive trust leg
islation passed by congress must be
backed in the enforcement by those
in sympathy with the law and not
left to those who have a fellow feel
ing for the packers, railroads and
other interests effected 1t is toe
common a practice to wink at viol-
ations. and this is done so often in
the administration of local affairs in
every community that the truth OF
the statement may be regarded as
self-evident. 1t may be as easily and
readily done in national administra-
tions, and the good to come from re-
cent legislation, the net results, can
be the better summed up later on.
While we should not underestimate
the worth of what has been done by
congress there is much truth in
Judge Parker's reply to Secretary
Taft's speech. Parker's contention
that the common law afforded an
avenue of relief from the ills sought
to be remedied by congressional en-
actment is upheld by many of our
best lawyers. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" and Vigilance
can be exercised to greater advantage
nowhere than in the selection of
men to administer the laws of the
country.

One great advantage Western
Colorado especially the Grand Val
ley, has over many, If not all the
provinces of the eastern slope, is in
the quantity of water for irrigation
purposes. We have more water than
we have land, but in making this
statement we would not have the
public catch the idea that we are
short on land. 1t is not so much a
limited land supply as it is an un-
limited water supply. Recently a gem
tleman who had resided some years
in the fruit district of California and
wlao had been interested in that
industry in the Golden State drove
through our fruit districts. and his
astonishment at the immense flow of
waste water which met his gaze was
so great that his splendid supply of
adjectives was not adequate for the
occasion. you people do not ap-
preciate what you have" he said,
that which you are permitting to
flow back into the river would be
worth millions where l came from. "
Another was amazed at the quantl-
ty OF land that could be supplied
with water from the canal and not
yet set to orchads. The high price
of bearing orchard lands had led
him to believe that the fruit territory
was about covered. and when he
saw the field yet open for the ener-
getic fruit grower. the man willing to
plant his orchard and watch 1t grow
into a fair fortune for him and his
children. his precouceived notions
about this being a limited business
in a limited district vanished. There
is room for many thousands yet, and
they will come.

Lucky Shift of the Wind.

That Allen is alive is due wholly
to fortunate shift of the wind. When
he made his ascension at Providence
on Wednesday the wind was blowing
a brisk breeze from the southwest. The
aer0naut was carried in his balloon in
a northeasterly direction and passed
over the town of Attleboro. He had
his balloon under perfect control at
that time, and while in the vicinity OF
Attleboro he descended twice. From
Attleboro the airship travelled in the
direction of BrocltoE, and the last seen
of the aeronaut by observers on shore
was when he passed over Scituate ear
ly in the evening. At that time the
balloon was headed straight out to sea.
Thought He Was Gone for Good.
When Thursday dawned without any
news being received from Allen and il
became known that the last time he
was seen was when he was on the
ocean shore headed out to sea it was
then believed that he would never re
turn. After Allen passed over Massa
