Low Price Reaction.

"Konsider the postage stamp,
my son; its usefulness konsists in
its ability to stick to one thing un.
til it gets there. Josh Billings,
Most advertising failures are due
to the fact that the advertisers
don't stick to it until they get
there. They get off before they
arrive. A quitter loses all he puts
in, and by quitting loses his repu-
tation. Withdrawing from adver-
tising is virtually advertising cur,
tailment and retrenchment, and
that indicates to the public lack of
capital and push.
The fact that the most success
full merchants are liberal advertis-
ers is evident that advertising pays
and this is generally believed by
the public. The only excuse for
not advertising is lack of capital
or progressiveness.

Subscription Laws.

Many readers have, from time
to time, requested information
concerning newspaper subscrip-
ton laws. Seven have been COM
piled from decisions of the United
States court and embody points
that bother many newspaper pub
fishers The seven are:
l Subscribers who do not give
express notices to the contrary
are considering as wishing to re-
new their subscription.
2 If the subscribers order the
discontinuance of their periodicals
the publishers may continue to
send them all until all arrearages
are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postoffice to which they are di-
rected, they are responsible until
they have settled their D1llS and
ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to Other
places without informing the pub.
fishers, and the papers are sent tc
their former address, they are helc
responsible.
5. The courts have decided
that refusing to take periodicals
from the postoffice or removing anc
leaving them uncalled for is =,
prima facia evidence of intention
al fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advanc
they are bound to give notice a
the end of the time if they do no
wish to continue taking it, other
wise the publisher is authorized t
send it and the subscriber is re
sponsible until an express notice
with payment of arrearages is sen
to the publisher.

our IRRIGATION RIGHTS.

ley and in recognition of their le-
gal rights, the department of the
interior should withdraw the re-
strictions placed by it upon the
location and construction of reser-
voirs in which to store water for
irrigation in that valley, says the
Denver Republican.
For the purpose of preventing
obstructions to the flow of the Rio
Grande through New Mexico to
the Mexican boundary, the depart
ment of the interior at the re-
quest of the department of state,
issued an order number of years
ago prohibiting the acquisition of
reservoir rights on the public do
main in the San Luis valley. 1t
was claimed that the water which
might be stored in such reservoirs
would be needed for irrigation in
Mexico, and that under treaty OBJ
legations to that country, the
United States was bound to in
sure an adequate flow in the Rio
Grande to make good irrigation
rights already acquired by citizens
of Mexico.
1t may be questioned whether
even a treaty obligation of this
kind would authorize the federal
government to interfere with the
use of Colorado water by Colorado
people. But it is not necessary
to go into that matter, for the
amount of water required to satisfy
the admitted claims of Mexico is
much less than the quantity now
flowing across the Colorado bound
ary.
The department of the interior
enforces it's restrictions upon reser-
voir construction not alone for the
purpose of satisfying Mexico, but
also and chiefly in order to meet
the requirements of the reclama-
ton service in connection with
the enormous reservoir it intends
to construct near Engle in the
southern part of New Mexico.
The purpose of the reclamation
service in building this reservoir
is not merely to supply the water
which Mexico irrigators need, but
also to reclaim large tract of our
now arid land between the reser-
voir site and the Mexican bound
ary. 1t is on this account that the
people of Colorado residing in the
San Luis valley are prohibited by
an interior department order from
utilizing near the source of the
Rio Grande water which could be
made available for irrigating land
in the valley.
AS an economic proposition the
order is unwise. 1t would be far
better to use near the source OF
the stream the water not needed
by Mexico rather than insist that
it remain in the river In order that
whatever might not be lost through
seepage might be used for reclaim
ing land now arid nearl y 400 miles
farther south.
Ignoring for the moment the
economic question, it seems to be
clear that under the decision OF
the supreme court in the Colorado
Kansas case, the department OF
the interior has no right to inter
fere with the use within this state
of water which has its source II
the mountains of Colorado, especi
ally when the proposed use here
is as distinctly beneficial as the
one contemplated farther down the
stream. There is good reason tt
believe that the supreme cour
would uphold the rights of thu
people of Colorado to use thi
water for irrigation even if ther'
were an act of congress prohibit
ing its storage in this state. Mucl
more would that court refuse tt
give an order of the secretary o
