WILL RECEIVE ATTENTION

The address b MI. Cloudy, presi-
dent of the National Irrigation on-
Rrcss. delivered at uoon yesterday In
the convention hall before one Of the
largest audiences ever assembled In
Albuquerque was az able a dissertation
upon irrigation problems as was ever
delivered in the United states. and
viii attract attention ana interest IN
every section of the country wherein
natural conditions render irrigation
necessary. While the address was
fun OF interest throughout, ID few Of
the points presented by the speaker
deserve especial mention.
First. his suggestion that irrigation
should be under laws aud regulations
made by district associations or or
ganizatious rather than under a gen
eral eodc Of laws applicable 10 all
parts Of the country alike. Is sound
and necessary, because OF the differ
cnt conditions that exist ia different
sections But 10 carry out that idea
We must have certain general laws To

which such district associations may
act, in order 70 prevent wrong being

associations appropriatiug water that
ought To- be reserved for down-thc-
river sections and,

LAW AND ITS STORY.
A Dry Subject Made Interesting In the
House.

T1Ou0S.
The object of this bill is to perfect
the organic law of the land; to present
the permanent laws Of the United
States in the most authentic and au-
thoritative form, to the end that these
organic laws, these great fundamental
legislative declarations, shall exist be-
fore the country in such clear, system
attic and conspicuous form that they
may be known to/all men; that the
great principles Of life, liberty and
property that they are intended TO
safeguard and make clear shall be ex-
tricated from the great confusion into
which they have been allowed to fall
by many years Of inattention, and be
written clearly and legibly on our stat
ute books as forcible and conspicuous
evidences of our national justice, ma
tional prObity and national advance
ment.
1t requires, Mr.. Chairman, but little
thought upon this dry subject to arouse
the student to enthusiasm. The his
tory of the world establishes the fact
that the richest legacy that the nations
of the past have left to succeeding ages
has been their principles of organic
law. Do you ask me Of the religion, OF
the morality, of the intelligence, OF the
chastity or the purity of nation of an
tiuuity? l will point you for answer
to the permanent laws Of that nation as
they existed upon it's statute books OF
stone or papyrus, and by that standard
chiefly, if not alone. will the status OF
that nation, in all that goes to consti-
tute individual or national honor, be
established.
Authentic history affords emphatic
and convincing illustrations OF the
truth of this great principle-that the
most valuable tribute of the nations of
the past to our present twentieth CEN
tury civilization comes to us in the
form of permanent organic principles
of law that have survived the destruc-
ton of time and the obliteration OF
states and Of monuments. Apart from
the scheme of divine salvation, which
is our distinctive and peculiar inher-
Iitance from the early Hebrew nations,
the great gift of the world Of that
grand historic people is the Mosaic code
of laws. From that code this nation
and all other civilized nations today
derive the great basic principles OF the
moral law: the law regulating mar
riage: consanguinity and the sacred
ness of human life. No nation today
places upon it's statute books the inhi-
bition Thou shalt not KILL" that was
written indelibly upon tablets Of stone
by the hand Of God amid the thunders

A BURGLARS STORY.
Told BY an English Thief In the Lam
auaae of Thieves.

Some time ago there appeared a
somewhat curious book, THE Autobi-
ography Of a Thief In Thieves Lam
guage" A glossary is provided for the
benefit of those whose unfortunate ig-
norance of the predatory classes may
render such aid necessary.
From one of the anecdotes related
it appears that honor among thieves is
not always to be found.
"One day." says the writer II went
to Croydon and touched for a red toy
(gold watch and red tackle (gold chain)
with a large locket So I took the rat
tier home at once. When I got into
ShOreditch / met one or two Of the
mob, who said: Hello! Been out to-
day? Did you touch?'
$50 l said Usher, (yes). So / took
them in, and we all got canon. When
went to the fence he bested (cheated)
me because was drunk and only gave
G los. for the lot. So the next day
went to him, and l asked him If he was
not a-going to grease my duke (put
money into my hand).
80 he said No Then he said,
will give you another half quid,' and
said, Do anybody, but mind they don't
do you
so / thought to myself, All right
my lad, you will find me as good as
my MASTER and left him. Some time
after that affair with the fence one OF
the mob said to me:
~ have got a place cut and dried
Will you come and do it?'
80 l said Yes. What tools will
you want?
And he said, We shall want some
twirls and the stick (crowDar), and
bring a Neddie Qife preserver) with
you And he said, Now don't stick
me up dsappoint); meet me at to-
night
"At 6 l was at the meet (trysting
place., and while waiting for my pal
had my daisies cleaned, and / piped
the fence that bested me go along with
his old woman (wife) and his two kids
(children). so 1 thought of his own
words. DO anybody, but mind they
don't do you
He was going to the Lyceum thea
ter. so when my pal came up l told
him all about it. So we went and
screwed (broke into) his place and
got thirty-two quid and toy and tack
lie which he had bought on the crook
(dishonestly) A day or two after this
met the fence who I'd done, so he
said to me, We have met at last
$50 said, Well, what of that?
so he said, what do you want to
do me for?'
80 said, You must remember you
done me, and when 1 spoke to you
about it you said, do anybody, but
mind they don't do you."' That shut
him up"-London Tit Bits.

The record of a third of century
proves that, without an exception, when
ever Vermont in presidential year, has
given les, than $4,000 republican plural
ity at the state election in September,
the state has gone democratic in Novem-
Der. The Vermont democrats made a
great campaign this year, and confident
ly expected to cut the republican plural
ity down to Is, 200 or 20, 600. SO certain
were they Of this that a Chicago demo
cratic paper on Sunday said that "the
Democrats are praying that history will
repeat itself on Tuesday and in No
vember." The republicans are praying
the same way now, in the face of the
10000 republican plurality of last Tues.
day.

moment in chosing the former.
The great majority of our readers
probably favor the present primary law,
with any practical amendments that
may from time to time seem best. Moth
ing will so firmly fasten that law in
popular confidence as loyal and enthu-
siastic compliance in its results, even
when those results do not wholly comply
with your individual wishes; nothing
will sooner undermine that law than
any considerable bolt on the part Of those
not pleased with its results 1t is up to

SOUTH DAKOTA democrats at the
primary purposely left part of their ticket
vacant in order to test before the SUI
preme court the constitutionality of the
primary law. The court yesterday made
known it's finding, which vigo "ously sus-
tains the constitutionality of the law
The court holds that the law provides a
mandatory method of making parry
nominations and that it is illegal for any
party to ignore that method and attempt
to fill part of the ticket in any other way.
Also that having participated in the pri-
mary as an organized party, the demo-
Gratis have nominated their ticket and
can make no changes except as by law
provided. The only method by which
the nominations may now be amended
nominees in a column by themselves
under some motto. This the democrats
will probably now proceed to do, unless
they foolishly attempt the course out
lined in our editorial note of last week
Many democrats foresaw this issue and
strongly opposed leaving a portion of the
ticket TO be filed by the Rapid City con-
vention, but they were overruled by the
majority and must now share with them
the serious disadvantage and loss which
noncompliance with the law has
brought upon them.

In Sanborn county the drainage prof.
ect has been stopped by some Of the tax
payers securing an injunction, on the
ground that the commissioners had no
power, without a specific vote of the
people, to undertake drainage which is
not public improvement but one Solely
in the interests OF the farmers whose
land was sought to be drained. The
law specificly provides that the commits
sioners do have> this power when the
work is done ''to promote the public
welfare or convenience. The drainage
projects in Union county were all under

SOME will recall, in days now long
gone by, Coins Financial School, Of
which Ex-senator Pettigrew and his
chart were picturesque illustrations.
Bryan was another, and in former cam
paigns he has expended hours of talk
aud buckets of ink in exploiting the
twinship of wheat and silver. When
wheat went up silver went up and a
tumble in wheat was certain to pull sill
yer to the same level, was the doctrine
of these economists. After all these
years, in which the name of Coin had
almost been fore often, the fancy took
us to look up the market price of wheat
and silver. Tuesday, in New York,
bar silver sold for 5lg cents, and wheat,

farmers product, has beaten silver more
than two to one, and that after suffer
