All tillable sections of Colorado can
produce good pork cheaply. In the
irrigated alfalfa sections alfalfa pas

of pork each year from an acre. The
grain feed for these sections IS barley,
and in 1906 the average yield Of bar
lev In the Fort Collins district was over
1000 pounds per acre, sufficient to pro

produces a specially fine flavor in pork.

highest in the world. They especially
bear disastrously on American meats
and meat products. And this threat
ened maximum was ouly suspended for
a period of months to allow an effort
through a Joint commission to pave
the way for an accommodation.
The commissioners In their statement
do not, of course, define the results OF
their conferences, but their statements
are entitled in due course to serious
consideration both by congress and by
the country at large. National pride
is always exceedingly sensitive. We
are naturally irritated at what seems
to us the perverse attitude in Germany.
II is likely, too, that in the last resort
we should be able to inflict more hurt
than could be inflicted upon us. But
a tariff war would inevitably injure
both, and after grave Industrial losses
had been suffered mutual agreement
would have to be reached. The adj
ministration has been wise to endeavor
to solve the dificulty before rather
than after a commercial war.

Prohibition fanatics are again urg-

which is the true embodiment of local
option.
Members Of the legislature can with
profit review the history Of Nebraska
with respect to the regulation OF the
liquor trafic. The Sloeumb law was
enacted in 1881, Smaking this state par
excellence the high license state and
putting 1t far in advance of other
states which were then graphing, or
have since grappled. with this problem.
The prohibitionists, however, contin-
ued their agitation until In 1890 they
secured, with the help of the railroads
that wanted to divert attention from
themselves, the submission OF an
amendment grating that policy upon
the constitution.
As might have been expected, the
amendment was overwhelmingly
showed under at the polls. but in the
that buried prohibition the
republican candidate for governor was
carried down as we'll and enough vot-
ers of foreign extraction driven into
the ranks of the democracy to make
Nebraska doubtful state for years.
The stand taken by the republican
party in favor of sound money and
against Reputation laid the foundation
for winning them back. and the cour-
ageous assaults of President Roosevelt
upon gigantic trust evils and upon
abuses by lawless railroad combina-
lions formed the capstone Of their con-
version. The Bee does not hesitate to
express the opinion that in the recent
campaign enough foreign-born voters
rallied to the standard OF @Heorge L.
Sheldon to give him the majority by
which he was elected over his fusion
opponent, while the prohibitionists
cast their $500 votes, as usual, for
their own prohibition nominee.
Before yielding to the new prohibit
ton republican members Of the legis-
lature should ask themselves whether
they went to drive all the foreign-born
voters, who have broad Views on per-
sonal liberty and sumptuary laws,
buck into the democratic fold

SOME HELP FOR WESTERLY RIVERS.

The form in which the rivers and

congress from the committee, with
items aggregating 100000 for I'm
provement of the Missouri river, al
lows more for this purpose than 1t was
at first disposed to allow, but far less
than the Missouri valley states feel
themselves Justly entitled to. Left TO
itself the committee would not have
broken in any degree the neglect in

for many years.
The awakening of the business COM
munities Of the interior states gen
orally to the importance of river trans
portation and their earnest efforts to
secure from congress corresponding
aid has thus at least made beginning,

given and that commercial conditions
now seem ripe to develop and maintain

Moreover, there are unmistakable
signs that the whole interior is lining
up for its essential common interest
in. water freights. The communities
that will be served by the main tribu-
taries of the Mississippi have their sew
eral local interests, but they are real
izing as never before that cooperation
is absolutely essential to the interest of
each. Some beginning having been
made, which was probably all that
could be expected at this session, a
solid union of these mid-continent
states in congress for their water
transportation needs may in due time
prove irresistible.

Need of Revising the Federal Con-
situation,

Chicago News.
Governor Ctmmlns of Iowa makes some
striking comments on the federal constitu-
ton, which come as a reply to observations
recently made by Secretary Root. The lat
ter declares that unless each of the states
takes up the work OF governing in the in
terests of the family of states at the point
where the national government leaves OF
amendments to the constitution enlaTging
the FEDERAL powers will surely follow. Gov
ernor Cummins has been In the van OF state
officers who have tried to do just what
Secretary Root urges. Now, he says; our
forefathers made for us a government, ma
uonal and state. putting into II a genius
that dwarfs every other effort OF its kind
but the country to be governed has escaped
from the government established to manage
it and is running wild"
II is Significant Of the present trend OF
events that Governor Cummins comes out
uneQuivocally for amendments to the fed
eral constitution. Among others. he wants
an amendment that will give the interstate
commerce clause scope enough to enable
congress TO control and regulate things
which the developments OF commerce have
nstionalized." The governor Of Iowa has
had experience in regard TO the difficulties
of state control. The railroads crossing
Iowa, for example, nave exercised TOT years,
by means Of political attorneys strung along
their routes, a notorious proprietorship
over the public affairs OF the state. Yet
none OF these roads has terminus In Iowa,
SO that nearly every article OF commerce
handled by them crosses the state bound
aries on it's way TO market and therefore
is subject TO national laws. Thus Governor
Cummlns has been led TO see clearly the
results of corporate Matchmaking Of bust
ness enterprises.
While important amendments to the fed
eral constitution are desirable. no state

crease tie efforts to do its fun duty by

President Roosevelt is determined to have

has notified members OF the judiciary COM
mittee OF the senate. which has reported
adversely on the confirmation of Mr.. Bris-
toll, that he will reappoint his man as soon
as congress adJourns, with the view Of
keeping him In Office until the land fraud
cases In oregon are disposed Of. This will
be disappointing news to the land grab
beers, who have been determined that BTis-
toll should not prosecute these cases. Pop
ular sentiment will be emphatically upon
the side OF the president in this Issue. BY
reappOinting Bristol at the expiration Of
this session of congress the president can
keep him I'm ONCE another year without
confirmation. and in spite Of those western
senators who have banded together after
a fashion that does not command respect
II Is safe to infer that Mr.. Bristol is in

man for the Job.
