THE SCHOOL campaign thus fal

THE SCHOOL campaign thus far
is creating no excitement whatever
and it is not at all probable that it
will develop into anything even rea
sonably lively. 1t is three cor
nered fight, all of the candidates hav.
ing many friends and noLe of them
having enemies worth mentioning
We haven heard that any Of them
have yet gone broke on candy or chew
ing gum and it is even hinted that we
may be obliged to walk to the polls if
we exercise the glorious franchise as
the candi dates have agreed to hire no
carriages. but each will ask his friends
to walk up to the polls and vote for
him. and thus are our hopes rudely
shattered by this modern combine.

SATURDAY. MAY 4, 1907.
HERE IS A MORAL

No better argument for the official
control of the range could possibly be
desired than that furnished in the
murder the past week of Peter Swan
son, sheep owner, supposedly by
cattlemen who boldly informed him
that it was not sheep they were after,
but men.
There is no use denying that in the
eyes of the law the sheepman has as
much right to turn his focks anywhere
he pleases on the public range as has
the cattleman. We are speaking now
of the purely legal right. OF course
the cattlemen have often been greatly
annoyed and considerably damaged by
the intrusion of sheep upon the cattle
ranges. No one can blame the cattle.
men for regretting such invasions but
no lawabiding citizen will for mo-
ment claim that they are justified in
resenting such invasion by resort to
guns or even clubs. No man is proud
of his sheep killing experience and
much less can anyone justify the
taking of human life as WAS the case
the past week near Grand Junction
as the outgrowth of feud between
the cattlemen and sheepmen.
The forest reserve system of allot-
ting the range to each kind of stock
protects both industries and prevents
not only property loss but loss of hu-
man life Iu this respect the system
has civilizing influence which
many of the enemies of the forestry
system seem to have entirely overlook
ed. but we might as we'll remember
that the border ruffian days are fast
passing away. Lawlessness and riot
should become and soon must become
things of the past and Colorado must
say that human life is of more value
than all the cows and sheep that may
Craze on our mountain slopes.

ROOSEVELT STANDS PAT

Notwithstanding all the rahid de-
.nunciation of President Roosevelt
relative to his statement to the effect
that Meyer and Haywood are unde
sirable citizens the president has moth
ing whatever to retract and stands by
his original statement. No one has
yet heard the president say that the
heads of the railway organizations
are undesirable citizens. He has
never called John Mitchell an unde-
sirable citizen. But he insists that
men who are constantly preaching
violence and treason and who do not
hesitate to incite to destruction of
property and even murder are unde-
sirable and in this he is entirely
right. He has not said they were
guilty of the specific crime with
which they are charged in Idaho.
Governor Buchtel is quoted as say
ing that the people of Colorado believe
them guilty of this crime. We do not
know whether our governor made this
remark but it is certain that there is
much reason for believing this pair
guilty as charged and we believe the
ma jority of the people of Colorado so
consider them. However, this belief
will have nothing to do with convict
ing them They may he guilty and
yet escape conviction but if innocent,
there is no danger that jury will
declare them guilty. The reason the
president and the majority of sensible
people so severely criticise some of
the labor unions is because of their
apparent determination to save those
fellows regardless of facts.

The Homo Of q Genius.

Beethoven was born in a small house
in Bonn. His father had inherited the
vice of drinking, and often Beethoven
and his younger brother were obliged
to take their intoxicated father home.
He was never known to utter an un-
kind word about the man who made
his youth so unhappy, and he never
failed to resent it when third person
spoke uncharitably of his fathers
frailty. Young Beethoven was thus
taught many severe lesson in the
hard school of adversely, but his trials
were not without advantage to him.
They gave to bis character that iron
texture which upheld him under his
heaviest burdens.

WITH A VIEW of saving water
the irrigation department of the Cal
ifornia University is engaged in ex-
periments to ascel tain the best meth
ods of lining bitches to prevent seep-
age. Concrete is, of course, the very
best, but its cost is prohibitive for
the present, in most cases. Pudding
clay is not always available. Crude
oil greatly reduces the seepage, stops
all vegetation and keeps gophers from
working. Some expel liments have
been made with asphaltum. What
has been ascertained thus far may be
learned from university bulletin
soon to be issued, which can be had
by addressing the university author

quests that all ditcn owners who have
attempted in any way to reduce seep-
age from ditches will write to 1t, stat
ing what they have done and the re
suits, and also what experiments they
can suggest as possibly of value.

feel disappointed and discouraged but
we thy to get along somehow and it
is seldom that the editors private
grievances are given space in these
columns. We try to conform to the

work. The lack of training and

will undoubtedly hamper the team in

creditable showing.
Wells, in the high jump and hurdles
is new man, never before having
competed in a meet and consequently
is an unknown quantity. He has
shown up we'll however in the few

Duggan in the spirits and jumps, is
too we'll known to need Introduction,
and may show his heels to the OPP

O'Reilly, the big weight man, is
new one at the game, but with his
great bulk and strength ought to win
a few points.
Van Alstine, in the high jump, has
been greatly handicapped on account
of poor physical condition, but will
make the jumpers go up in the air to
win.

beginning to end =
There were about 600 tourists of the
party on the steamer when they pulled
out of New York for the Mediterran-
can sea. The first stop was made at
Gibralter and Spain where the prin-
cipal points of interest were viewed,
the party using the steamer as head
quarters with occasional excursions
into the interior. After visiting other
Mediterranean countries the boat pro-
ceeded on to Palestine where the first
extended stop was authorized. The
party tramped over Palestine for two
weeks using mules and horses as
means of transportation. Rev. Mat
thews took one trip of 100 miles on
horseback to Damascus. thence down
the Sea of Galilee, and on to Jerusa-
lem. The party then boarded the
steamer which then proceeded to

city of this wonderfully fertile land,
which was visited. However, but a

IS SOUR ON JACK
Philadelphia Loses Stand in
With Coast Fight Fans as
Result of Race.

San Francisco, May 14.-Tommy
Burns will have the first crack at Bill
Squires for the worlds championship,
ii he wants it. Mr. Jack O'Brien is
no longer a factor O'Brien is deader
on the coast than any fighter ever
was. His exhibition against Burns
was pitiable. He had been telling his
friends how to eat Burns alive. He
went into the ring and acted as if ne
was scared half to death. He ran
away from Burns all through the
fight, probably hoping to tire him.
Burns got few real chances to poke
C'Brien. But whenever O'Brien did
stand up Burns walloped him beauti-
fully. Had they been fighting in a
room five by five Burns would have
had O'Brien out in eight rounds.
O'Brien and Nolan can leave for
England whenever they get good and
ready.
Burns stock has gone up. He did
not do wonders in his fight with
O'Brien, but he showed nerve and en-
durance and was willing to play the
game.
Ii Burns does not sign up with
Squires, Schreck will. The big Ger
man can get all the backing he wants
anywhere in this western country.
When Hart and Schreck meet on
Decoration day Schreck will be top
heavy favorite. the general sentiment
being that Schreck will surely win by
the Knockout route. Should Schreck
knock Hart out in good shape. Squires
will prefer to take him on.
