Government Takes Lead.

The English government is assum-
ing its people are not able to admin
lister best 10 their own wants and is
gradually assuming the stern right of
GictatiOn and direction of all public
affairs. 1t was declared by the speak
er that the spirit of paternalism may
have its good qualities as we'll as it's
lad, but the latter are gaining predom-
nance as the movement makes prog
ress with time. The gradual assump-
tion by the governing power of a
semi-fatherly relation to its people. in
volving strict and intimate supervis-
ion of their public and social concern
Upon the theory they are incapable of
the management of their own affairs,
appears to be in prospect for the Eng
lish speaking race in the mother coun-
try.
The speaker told of the Vaccinations
Of the English laws and the constant
advance that is being made to repre-
sent the body and soul of the people
of the land in methods of governmental
control. The drift in England toward
paternalism exists almost solely as a
drift during the present time, but it is
believed to be one with overwhelming
reserve power.
Employers Liability.
The constant enactment of laws un-
der the guise of protecting the people

ployers is a question that now is be-

The refusal of the trial Judge to ad-
NIT the Adams confession in the trial
at Grand Junction will be disap-
pointment to those persons that have
made up their minds that Adams is
guilty and believe that justice requires
his punishment. However, the judges
decision is a sound one and must be
commended on the ground of public
policy. even though it result in the
escape of the guilty. The confession
of accused person may often be a
help to the prosecution in securing
corroborative evidence upon which to
establish his guilt and this ought to
have been the case both in the Or
chard and in the Adams cases. if the
two confessions Were really truthful.

E. +. Bum. of the Sunnyside
dry farmers. brought us m a sample
of Red Cross wheat from his ranch
few days ago. to show what can be
grown without irrigation. This wheat
is now in the dough and appears to
have plenty of vitality to mature with
out any more rain. 1t has heads of
good length and the only indication it
gives of being raised on dry farm
is the shortness of the straw. which is
only about feet long. Mr.. Bum has
10 or II acres of this wheat. and Will
harvest n fairly good crop. He be
lieves however. that he can do much
better when he has learned little
more about scientific culture to con-
serve moisture. or. in other words. the
