The Bryan BoSy.

THERE is strong tehdehcy among
Eastern Democratic newspapers to
deplore the popularity of William
Jennings Bryan, on the ground
that he is not popular enough. In
other woTds. these journals are
sweating good. red,' Democratic
blood in the effort TO prote that
the man the party wants is not the
man the party ought to have. A
great New York daily, which in
other matters often shows the
rudiments Of sense of humor,
prints day after day the so-called
bryan map showing how few
of these United States were carried
by the Democratic 1904. Yet
any boy playing marbles back of
'anybody's barn can tell you that
Democracy's banner was carried
that most disastrous of years by
Alton B. Parker! Also, without
straining the intellect much. one
can recall that Judge Parker is an
Fastener, as conservative as the
ribbed, hills and about as
popular with the farmers.
1t must be diverting to Western
Democrats-this ambition of the
reactionary tail to wag the progress
sive dog. In their efforts to carry
their point, these Eastern journals
have dragged out of obscurity a
dozen candidates, and stood them
blinking in the lime-light amid the
applause Of those who got in free.
Yet, thus far, no one has seriously
threatened Mr.. Bryan's chances for
the Presidential nomination.
Two of the most foolish things
one can do are to sit, lost in thought,
upon railway track, and to pre-
dict what will happen at a Demo
cratic convention. But this is a
matter of common knowledge.
Since that hot and noisy day in
Chicago, twelve years ago, there
has been no leader in the Demo
cratic party SO interesting, so public
spirited, and so popular, as William
Jennings Bryan.-Success Maga.

THE game warden has another
notice in this issue of The Stai
calling the attention of those who
use water out of the Dolores river
to the law regarding the screening
and wheeling Of their bitches where
they leave the river SO that the
fish will not come down them and
be destroyed. A similar degree
was given out some two years ago
and was pretty generally complyed
with, but in a remarkably short
time after being put in the wheels
were laying on the ditch banks and
the bitches open as usual. 1t is
our opinion that wheel on the
bank is just as effective as one in
the ditch so far as keeping the
fish out is concerned, and we
believe that most of the water users
are ofthe same opinion and that this
accounts for the wheels being so
quickly thrown on the banks.
Screens will keep fish and with a
little work every ditch leaving the
river could be screened in such a
manner that the drift in the stream
would not bother greatly. The
fact is that a screen can be kept
clean with as little work as a wheel
can be kept running. We do not
mean to say that a paddle wheel
cannot be made and installed in such
a manner as to keep fish from
passing it, but we have never saw
such wheel along the Dolores,
and never expect to, for they are
too expensive. If the water users
were all encouraged to put in
screens we believe they would dc
SO and that the fish would be pro-
tected with very little attention
from the game warden. 1t is Ger.
tainly shame the way fish are
destroyed by coming down oper
bitches, and no ditch owner should
hesitate to do all he can to protect
them.

J.P. Belmear, who had the contract
for grading the new road out to the
Utah line, completed his work We'd
nesday. This road was made to shorten
the distance between this place and
Bluff, Utah. The business men OF
Dolores gave 5000 to make the road to
the Utah line and the people of Bluff
will do the work on the Utah end.
This road is about twenty-five miles
shorter than the old road and brings
the oil fields of the San Juan twenty
five miles nearer a railroad point.
This is great advantage to Bluff and
also to Dolores as all the shipping will
now be done from this point to the oil
fields. The new road is without the
sand which was such a menance tc
travel for a distance of eight or ter
miles in the old road between Cortei
and Bluff.

The New Princess Dress Effects.

Zone piece princess dresses will
be among the favored fashions for
spring. says Grace Margaret
Gould, tie fashion editor in the
March, the spring fashion number
of the Woman's Home Companion.
They are cut out at the neck to
show guimpe, and are made
sleeveless, or with half sleeves,
showing the guimpe sleeve below.
A year ago a dress of this sort
would haveb cen more apt to be de-
veIoped i'll some bighpriced fabI ic
and used only as a best dress. This
psring it will be regarded as an
EVERYDAY fahion, and be made of
such materials as panama, mohair
and light weight serge. novelty
feature of a number of the new
skirts is that they are made with
an extension above the waste line,
giving the princess. effect. These
new style skirts are also made with
shoulder straps or epaulettes, thus
forming a skeleton bodice, but cut
in one with the skirt and to be worn
with blouse Braiding and button
are used as a trimming for the
skirt an for the princess dress A
new skirt model for the woman
who still clings to plated effects is
a skirt made with a graduated front
panel, having the upper portion in
the form of a deep gored yoke,
while the sides and lack consists
of side plaits.'

Washington Letter

Not in the memory of the olds ST
inhabitant has there been preiim-
mary presidential campaign so com
pick with varying issues, numer-
GUS candidates and uncertainty OF
outcome as the present. Tarifl re-
form, governmental control of cor
porations, finance, civic honesty,
business integrity, punishment OF
predatory wealth, are among the is
sues. Roosevelt, Knox, Taft, Can
non, Fairbanks. Hughes, Foraker,
LaFolette, and others of the repub-
licans; Bryan, johnson, Gray, of
Dele ware, and others of the demo-
CT ats, constitute the candidates.
Public sentiment and the free will
of the people, unhampcrcd by boss
cs and organizations, compose the
last. Politicians are all a sea. 1t
is similar to a three card monte
game; now you see it and now you
don't. l n congress we have the
spectacle of that body cndcavor ing
TO enact a remedy for the financial
ills of the nation. The Aldrich fl
nancial measure holds the floor at
the present moment. There are
some for it and others against it.
j. Pierpont Morgan, our uncrowncd
king, as some of the Wall street
fanatics have termed him, has reg
ularly sat in the gallery, nodding
his approval of telling strokes IN be-
half of the bill, and frowning his
displeasure when its merits were
questioned Senator Tillrnan has
presented to the senate a sensation
al petition that the bill be defeated.
The petition alleges that the bill,
if enacted into law would take
from the government and place in
the hands of Wall street the power
to contract and expand the public
currency suddenly in large volume.
In other words the adrninistration
is playing directly into the hands
of Wall street which with such
power would be able to dominate
the policies o: TIE country taking
the control entirely away from the
Treasury This view is concur red
in by not few of the statesmen at
the capitol. 1t is an open secret
that the eastern financial world is
moving heaven and earth to encom-
pass the defeat of the PRESENTS pol
icies and there fingers in not few
statesmen's minds the supsicion
that the recent panic was not the
result of -aciual conditions but was
created by the financial interests to
discredit the present administrs-
ton.
But the handwriting on the wall
is plain to such interests. Thus
far and no farther shalt thou 60 is
what it says. 1t is recognized by
all that the PEOPLE of the country are
in a dangcrou mood to be trifled
with. Men that never before knew
what was actually going on are
now informed as TO conditions. 1t
is felt that the slightest attempt to
reflect upon Roosevelt and his adj
mi n istration will result in such
demand for his denomination that
he will be compelled to run especi-
ally if such OPP osition is believed to
emanate from the financial world.
