dicates a growing interest among the
people OF the Canon City district in
scientific horticulture and its affiliated
Industries.
The display of apples this year is
surprising in extent. and in the box
exhibit at least is much better than
II was twelve months ago. How many
varieties of apples are shown IL is i'm
possible to state at this tine. but of
the more than two hundred kinds pro-

say that considerably more than half

and favor they are as near perfect as
possible, and afford the visitor TO the
institute an excellent idea OF our re-

Awas formally opened by an invocation
nom Rev. S. r. Entorf. after which
President s. J. Andrews of the society
delivered an address Mr.. Andrews
had prepared no set speech and his
talk was more in the nature of an ad-
dress OF welcome TO the visitors to the
institute than anything else. He con-
graduated the society on its flourish

doing for the orchardists OF Fremont
county.
The first OF the formal topics on the
program was Top Grating" which
had been assigned to President w. S.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Canon City Merchants Associa-
ton Monday night several matters of
Importance to the people of the COM
munity were brought up for consider
alton, among them being the question
of cooperating with the citizens of
Salida and other towns looking to the
publication of the Arkansas river,

er from the November meeting of the

used. On the strength of this state
ment a resolution was adopted auth
orizing the president of the associa-
ton to appoint committee of three
members to ask the council to set a
side the above named fund, or as much
of it as may be needed to properly
cooperate with other valley towns in
protecting the river from pollution by
mining operators and others who an
nually wash thousands of tons of
dirt into it in the pursuit of COM
mercial enterprises.
On the adoption of the resolution,
President Hutton named Capt B. F.
Rockafellow, S. H. Atwater and T. NJ.
Harding as such committee.
On motion resolution was unani-
mously adopted asking the appoint
ment of a committee to address the
City Council in relation to the matter
of milk inspection and to request the
appointment of properly qualified
milk inspector to investigate the con-
dition of all milk sold within the city
limits. The council will also be re-
quested to adopt an ordinance licen-
sing all dairymen doing business in
the city limits. The association de-
clared that these steps we're necessary

Bryan Biunderinp.

New York World Dem: While
Mr.. Bryan is prattling about the mi
tiatiVe and referendum the Republic
cans are stealing the last remaining
Democratic economic issue-tariff re-
form.
When Mr.. Bryan returned from
abroad in August the Democrats
might have made the issue of tariff
revision their own. Instead, Mr..
Bryan chose to talk about govern
ment Owernership and operations OF
railroads. When Democratic resent
ment against this Socialistic proposal
became so strong as to appeal to his
sense of discretion, Mr.. Bryan sub
stituted the initiative and referendum.
He is still playing with this toy, while
the Republicans under Mr.. ROose-
velt's leadership are artfully appro-
priating tariff revision and prepar-
ing to make it the the issue in the next
national campaign. Even The New
Y DIRK Tribune has begun to jeer at
the standpatters.
Some of the wiser Democrat are
trying to recover for their party what
it has lost by Mr.. Bryan's blunder,
but are too late.

Roosevelt as a Conservative.

New York Post, Ind: In a word,
as one who classed himself with Har-
rimaD as practical man, as a
confessed political opportunist, Mr..
Roosevelt has found that the times
call for caution and moderation. and
accordingly he is trying to appear
cautious and moderate. He perceives
that there is widespread financial un-
easlness, and he endeavors to appiy
palhatlVes. With a threatened crop
shortage, he feels that the public is in
no mood for rash experiment, and so
he suddenly blossom out as a con-
sentative. The net effect of
the presidents speech is that the times
have changed, and that Theodore
Roosevelt has changed with them,
OF course, he is valiant in affirming
that his purpose is "unalterable".
and asserts that he says now only
what he has "always" said. But
always is as dangerous a word for a
polltlclna as never. What are the
facts? The president declared yester-
day that there had been .''much wild
talk" about the over-capitalization of
American railroads. He went on to
state that in his opinion, there is
practically no Over-capitalization,
since the real value" of the railway
properties is, he thinks, greater than
the face value" of their securities.
But IN his message last year he spoke
of the evils of excessive over-capital-
lzatlon", as if they were admitted by
all; while in 1905 he mentioned over
capitalization as perhaps the chief''
of all the 'abuses" which he aimed to
correct. A man may change his mind
when he finds that he did not know
what the facts were; but it is not even
skllful manOeuvre to cover a re-
treat, when the command for about
face is given with the words: "All
this is what I have said over and over
again"
