Pueblo is having some trouble with
It's water works. The promoters OF
the scheme to draw supply from the
underiiow OF the fountain river have
asked permission TO Increase THEREON
tract price from II to &c per thousand
gallons and the water trustees OF the
North side recommended that the
proposition be rejected and the con
tractors held up &, their original con-
tract. They threaten to throw up work
on the pipe line. La Jnnta's new plan
for Il supply Of water that is not aka
line Is to sink a pipe in the bed OF the
Arkansas river at a depth where IL
will be cleansed by filtration through
the sand and freed from alkali.

A man is up against tough luck If he

causes q woman to love a man after
she imagines she has broken his heart

FROM OTHER PENS
THE KANSAS MUKDEN.

Recently comment was presented in
this column touching the erection at
Fort Riley of a great redoubt, built by
the engineers of the army as practice
of the defenses at Mukden that so
troubled the advancing Japanese. Last
month, also by way of practice, the ar
tillery attemnted the reduction OF the
defensive work with "a 3-inch. two 4
inch and two 5-inch guns. The engi-
neers believed that they had consider
ably improved upon the Russian model,
and the 3-inch guns made but little I'M
preston on it, but the army of1cers
held that the other guns would either
have driven defenders from the forth
fcation, or have left them in no con-
diticn to Withstand assault. OF course,
there is some scant difference IN hrlns
at an empty redoubt and shell1ng one
that can respond with precise recog-
milton in kind, but even when allow
ance is made for the very one-sided
character of the engagement. the re-
suits are declared to have been very

al guard was brought to Fort, Riley,

stream of shrapnel, made
the assault, and although the Kansas
section of Mukden was defeated with
the utmost heroism by the mannlklns
that had been stood up behind the walls,
nothing could resist the reckless valor
of the militia, who CALAMITY captured
the fort. Only the extreme inconven1-
ence of being dead prevented Pickett,

THE PROBLEM OF ARIZONA.

since all hope of joining New Mexico
| and Arizona has been dissipated. some
one has suggested that Arizona be an
| nexed to Nevada and given statehood
in that manner. 1t is not improba BILE
that New Mexico will be admitted as a
state in the not distant future. as it is
stated that President Roosevelt will
not oppose statehood for that territory
in view of the sentiment in Arizona
against being Joined to New Mexico.
But the suggestion that Arizona be
annexed to Nevada is even more In
congruous than it's consolidation with
New Mexico. AS the Chicago Record
Herald recently pointed out, Nevada
and Arizona combined would make a
state which would be a weird mon
strosity SO far as boundaries go. They
have a common boundar-- of about $50
miles north and south, at the north
west corner of Nevada, and if put to-
gether would probably be dubbed the
"dunb-bell state" Thew do not have
and are not apt to have thror-H rail-
road connections. and the difficulties
of a common administration would be
unusually great.
Besides, 1t is doubtful if either COM
monwealth would agree to the con-
solidation. Nevada would hardly agree
to 1t, because already Arizona could
outvote her, and Arizona would prob
ably refuse to sanction any such
scheme because of belief in it's own
future. With irrigation, and its great
mining and timber interests, Arizona
will undoubtedly become a rich state
some day. Nevada, too, is forging
ahead in a way that people east of the
Rocky mountains do not realize. There
is an era of railroad building in prog
ress in Nevada that will eventually
promote a steady growth in addition
to the thousands who have been drawn
thither by the opening of the gold
mines.
more sensible idea for Arizona
statehood would be its consolidation
with southern California into a single
state. temporarily at least. Within the
last year or two strong sentiment has
sprung up in southern California in
favor of separation from the northern
portion of that great state. and a di-
vision of this kind will doubtless be
sought in time. Southern California
is growing at tremendous rate. The
railroads state that between rs, 900 and
100000 colonists have gone, or are
booked to go, into that region during
the present two months of September
and October.
The interests of Arizona and south
ern California are identical. and they
are bound together by two direct lines
of railroad. The enabling act might
provide that when Arizona has suffi-
cient population of it's own-say, half
a million people-it could become
state by itself should 1t SC desire. Such
q proviso was made with regard to

his conviction of the crime with which

haywood case was extremely clever,

failure of the state to gather sufficient

lawyer to say about an opponent, con-
sidering the bitterness that was en-

A QUESTION OF PATRIOTISM.

Are the extremely rich people of the
United States becoming unpatriotic
While doubtless some of them are az
loyal and love their country as greatly
as any other class, there are indica.
lions that others ef them do not real
ize the meaning of the term patriot.
| ism.
In a recent issue of one of the big
weekly magazines of the country is an
article on expatriates "bv one OF
them" A perusal of it gives the
average middle class, true-hearted
American a revelation concerning the
sentiment that these rich wanderers
entertain towards the land of their
nativity. The article arouses feelings
of horror at the sentiments expressed
and OF pity for and disgust at those
entertaining them. The patriotic
American feels with the editor that
this country is better off without these
expatriates than with them-an opin-
ion expressed in an editorial foreword
to the article.
Understanding this sentiment that
seems to prevail among some of the
extremely rich-and possibly among
poorer. classes also--it is easy to un-
derstand the disposition to exploit and
plumber the public treasury that is &C.
casionaHy manifested.
Recently the navy department gave
it out that the contract for taking coal
ahead of the fleet in the coming cruise
to the Pacific would be given to for
eign vessels. The reason was that the
American shipping trust proposed to
charge the government something like
fifty per cent. more than the same
service would be performed abroad.
In other words, the shipping trust
thought its influence in congress is
sufficient to enable it to hold up the
government, just as the steel trust did
on the contract for the rails for the
Panama railroad two or three years
ago. 1t will be remembered that the
steel trust charged the government
eight or ten dollars a ton more for
steel rails for Panama than it laid the
same rails down in Europe for. And
when Secretary Taft announced that
he would go to Europe to buy the
rails, the steel trust set up howl and
forced congress to tie Taft's hands,
binding him to buy the rails in
America. The shipping trust is now
setting up the same kind of a howl
about the coal order. Perhaps it can
boss congress also.
A short time ago when the govern
ment uncovered a revolutionary plot
in Cuba, it was reported that rich men
in New York were at the bottom of it;
and inasmuch as your Uncle Samuel
has charge of affairs in Cuba, it
looked dangerously like treason for an
American, rich or poor, to engage in
a revolution down there.
All of these things combined makes
it appear that there is class of
wealthy Americans who have no use
for their government and their coun-
try except as they can exploit and
plumber it.
