to the darkness. Mr.. Stuart was con-
veyed to a military barracks in the vi
entity, where he expired two hours
later. The body was transported to the
consulate at Batum.
Aside from the troubles during the
revolutionary disturbances last fall
Mr.. Stuart had had no friction with
the native population. He was so gem
orally respected that he was on several
occasions called upon to act as inter-
mediary during the racial war between
the Tartars and the Armenians, saving
the lives of several of the latter during
the q%uarrels. q
Mr.. Stuart was a British subject and
one of the largest ship brokers and ex-
porters of Batum. During the revolu-
tionary troubles of last hfall his life
was many times threateped by long
shoremen, and at Christmas a ,deputa-
ton visited Mr.. Stuart's office and
practically compelled him TO give them
$1,000 under the guise of a holiday
gratuity for dock laborers.
1t is said that the military court which
has been Investigating the surrender Of
Port Arthur and the battle of the sea
of Japan has condemned TO death Lieu
tenant General Stoessel, who COM
manded the Russian forces at Port Ar
thur, and Rear Admiral Nebogatoff,
who commanded one of Admiral RO-
~jestvensky's squadrons and who sur
rendered during the naval battle to the
Japanese.
The storm which threatened to break
out over the refusal of the emperor
formally to receive the d%eputation APP
pointed by the lower house of parlia-
ment to present to his majesty the adj
dress of the house in reply to the
speech from the throne has happily
been averted. The moderate leaders
of the Constitutional Democrats, after
laboDing with the hotheads until the
early morning hours. succeeded in CON
vincing them that it would be a fatal
blunder to precipitate n conflict upon
a false issue, and a resolution was pre-
pared pointing out that the importance
of the address consisted in its contents
and not in the manner in which it is
transmitted to the emperor.

Vanderbilt, of New Providence, this

rotary of the state board of health, to
e%xpurgate the official records of the
birth of William Godfrey Vanderbilt
The brothers contend that thu
child, who was born in October, 1903
was not the offspring of Oliver Van

by the mother with a view of having
her child share in the Vanderbilt es

The vice chancellor holds that l.
the record is incorrect the propet
remedy would be by action at Law

DEVELOPING THE WEST

A dispatch from Denver a few days
ago told of an enterprise that had been
started there for the purpose of bring
ing under irrigation million acres of
Colorado land that is now almost bar
rem. It will be accomplished by storing
the waste waters of the South Platte
A company has been incorporated that
will build reservoir to cover twenty
four square miles, with an average
depth of thirty-hve feet, and thus store
the surplus waters of the river. It is
estimated that $3.50, 100000 cubic feet Of
water is wasted yearly in the floods
that sweep down the Platte. This water.
if it can be stored in reservoirs, will ir-
rigater the million acres controlled by
this corporation, and on these lands
homes will be built for a hundred thou
sand people The cost Of the dam is
estimated at about $4,000, 900, that is 81
for each acre in the area controlled by
the syndicate. AS this land lies today
without irrigation possibilities, it is not
worth over 81 or 50 per acre. With
water applied to 1t, it viii be worth, ac-
cording to its general characteristics.
from $50 to 800 an acre, and some of
it probably much more.
It can be easily seen that, if it is a
success.-and there is no apparent rea-
son why it should not be.-this enter
prise will pay it's promoters tremendous
returns on their investment, after which
they will doubtless seek other fields
where they can do the same thing.
In this way a tremendous area will
be brought under irrigation in the next
decade or two, and a big population
will be brought into the west The good
homestead lands are about all gone, yet
there is as great demand for new
homes today as there was twenty or
thirty years ago when the prairies of
Kansas and Nebraska were quickly COW
cred with homeseekers. The new homes
of the future must be in these irrigat-
ed acres. where the government or pTi-
vate capital develops water supplies and
makes new lands available for irriga-
ton The real development of the
west has only begun.

A QUESTION.

In connection with the proposition
to nominate candidates for United
states senators by direct primaries, 4
question arises. Senators will, Of
course. still have to be elected by the
legislature as long as the constitution
Of the United States remains as it is,
and legislators will not be legally
bound by the action of the primaries.
AS an almost unbroken rule. how
ever. members Of the legislature will
follow the dictates of the primary. but
the result of the primary may be left
open to two Interpretations in many
instances.
For example. suppose primaries
were held now to decide on a party
candidate for the coming senatorial
election, and Congressman Curtis
should receive an overwhelming ma
jority in Shawnee county. but Senator
Benson should receive the nomination
in the state as a whole. Which should
the Shawnee legislators follow=the
wish Ct their constituents as expressed
in the Shawnee primaries, or the result
in the state as a whole?
There viii be great many cases
like that in every primary, and unless
a law specifies otherwise it will be left
open for the legislator to do as he
pleases. Some legislators will argue
that they must represent the wishes of
their constituents and they viii follow
the result of the primary in their in
dividual districts. regardless OF the
general result. Others will contend
that the general result in the state de-
cides the party nominee. and they will
disregard the wishes of their own
constituents.

aoVERNNTT1NT oWNERsHIP.

There is considerable criticism OF
Mr.. Bryan's views relative to govern
ment ownership Of railroads. but by
reading between the lines there are in
dications that Mr.. Bryan is in favor of
government ownership chiefly to make
the railroads be good, and that as long
as the railroads stay good there is no
pressing need for government owner
ship.
Mr.. Bryan. It will be noticed. says he
does not know that the time for the
government to assume the ownership
Of the railroads has come. It will also
be noticed that he prefaces his views
on railroad ownership by pointing out
the danger that the railroads may try
to secure the election of presidents
favorable to their interests. Referring
to rate regulation he says:
1--WE must not forget that the vest
ing OF this enormous power in the
hands of the commission appointed by
the president introduced a new dan
ger. If. an appointive board has the
power to FIX rates, and can by the ex-
ercise of that power increase or de-
crease by hundreds of millions Of dol
lars the annual revenue of the rail-
have a large pecuniary interest in the
election of a president friendly to the
railroads. Experience has demon
strated that municipal corruption IS
largely traceab BILE to the fact that fran
cllise corporations desire to control the
city council and thus increase their
dividends. If their managers adopt
the same policy, sentiment in favor of
ownership Of the railroads by the gov
eminent is likely to increase as rapidly
throughout the country as the senti-
nent in favor of municipal ownership
has increased in the cities"
Then follows Mr.. Bryan's declara-
ton in favor of ultimate government
ownership; but taken in connection
with what precedes it, it appears that
Mr.. Bryan does not think government
ownership necessary unless the rail-
roads themselves force it by attempt
ing to dictate in public affairs and to
secure undeserved advantages through
control of public officials from presi-
dent down.
President Roosevelt himself has
pointed out the danger of drastic
measures ''-presumably government
ownership-if the railroads fight
against reasonable regulation, so that
it appears that Roosevelt and Bryan
arc of the same mind as to what the
result will be if the railroads try. to run
the government, although Mr.. Roose-
welt has not declared that he is per-
sonally in favor of this result
