THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

One of the exhibits at the conference Of
Governors at Washington next week will show
the value of the irrigation system of the
West Incidental to the work of irrigation,
the accumulation Of flood waters in mammoth
artificial reservoirs will be of great benefit
in preventing damage by food, and in main
tanning a steady flow Of water and clarifying
the Missouri and other streams. Flood ram
pages the Platte river do injury to the
amount of a million dollars year. A govern
ment reservoir at the head of the North
Platte will avert this damage by caring for
all the food water of the stream Reser-
vOirs at the headwaters of the Missouri the
Big Horn and the Cheyenne will perform
similar services. In the dry season the gates
of these reservoirs will release water, not
used for irrigation, to maintain a normal
height in the rivers. With the elimination of
the annual floods will come prevention of the
washing of mud and silt into the Missouri
Further use Of these reservoirs will be made
in affording water power at reasonable cost
to the adjacent territory. The North Platte
reservoir and irrigation system alone will cost
a million dollars. The others will cost nearly
as much, in each instance. No one questions
the wisdom Of the investment, the financial

TAFT AND THE TRUSTS.

Each succeeding day strengthens the opinion
that Taft will become the nominee of the
republican party, and each succeeding day also
strengthens the opinion that he has secured
the support of the trusts and trust magnates.
H. B. Martin, national secretary of the Ameri-
can Antitrust league, will close tomorrow his
argument against the Hepburn amendment to
the Sherman antitrust law. He will charge
that it is part-the basis, in short-of an
agreement between the trusts and the republi-
can party whereby in return for the right to
form pools and combinations the trusts and
the trust magnates are to support Taft for
President.

bill at this session Of Congress because the

TAFT, BRYAN, AND WATSON; STAND
ARD-BEARERS

The Ohio and Massachusetts Democratic
Conventions joined the Bryan column last week,
as Texas and South Carolina had done few
days before, and there are few who doubt
that the Nebraskan will win the nomination
easily at Denver. Nor is there much reason
to doubt that VIM H. Taft will be the Re
publican Presidential nominee, for although
he has not the long lead over his opponents
that Bryan has, it requires only majority
to nominate in the National Republican Con-
vention and not two-thirds vote as in the
Democratic Convention. The Populists have
already nominated Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia.
We have no desire to curry favor with
Populists, Republicans or Democrats or
all-in this weekly review Of the news: our
purpose is simply to tell the whole unvarnished
truth as we see it, for the purpose Of enabling
even the man who reads no other paper to
form an intelligent idea about current events,
regardless Of whether this truth helps or
hurts any party Consequently it is with no
desire to tickle the winning sides, but only
the expression Of our feeling as an American
citizen, that we say now that In Taft, Bryan,
and Watson we believe the parties have put
forward their strongest candidates and that
the country is to be congratulated that it is
men Of such character who are chosen as the
fractional favorites in the struggle for the high
office Of President Taft, Bryan, Watson:
each one man Of independence, honor, cour-
age, and ability; in life and habit as clean as
a hound s tooth; notably free from corpora
ton or machine infuence-probably never be-
fore, in fact, have the three leading Presiden-
tial candidates come before the American
people with less obligation to party machines
or to Wall Street influences. And this is a
condition in which Americans of all parties
may we'll take pride; it augurs we'll for the
future Of our institutions and speaks we'll
for the character and ideals of the sturdy,
honest, everyday American citizen and voter.

ENGLAND's DIFFICULTIES IN INDIA.

A short time ago England and Russia
each standing uneasily upon the hot and thin
crust of the Asiatic volcano-undertook to
dispose Of the fate of half dozen peoples
in the near Orient. England quietly assumed
the right to direct the future course Of
Afghanistan without consulting the Amir
and Russia, unwarned by her melancholy
experience in Manchuria, undertook to play
the suzerain over Persia. Lord Curzon, who
is perhaps more familiar with Asiatic con-
ditions and aspirations than any other Eng
lish public man, warned the government that
it was taking grave risks in acting without
obtaining the consent Of the Amir.
1t has been swiftly proved that he was right,
and that they reckon i'll who leave out the
Amir Habib Ullah This little interesting
fact was demonstrated by the sudden appear
ance the other day Of some 10000 to 10000
warriors of the Mohometan tribes at the Khai-
bar pass. There are at least two noteworthy
facts in connection with this expedition. In
the first place, it seems impossible for so large
a force to have assembled and moved against
the English in the Pass without the knowledge
and connivance Of the Amir; and, in the
second place, the full strength Of the Mohmand
tribes as estimated by the British and Indian
authorities, is less than 10000
The demonstration may be only some
exhibition of displeasure on the part of the
tribesmen, which the angered Amir is willing
not to notice until it has had it's effect or it
may be the more serious expression of the i'll
will Of the Amir himself In the latter case, the
English would have some difficulty is smooth
ing matters over. The Pathans are fiery and
effective fighters, and have inflicted more than
one disaster upon the British invaders It
is decidedly probable that England, in the
present state of unrest in India, would hesitate
long before attempting to send an army into
Afghanistan to punish Habib Ullah, lest she
should find all India in arms behind it.

PARDON FOR POWERS
For the Crime He Never Committed.
After Eight Years Imprisonment
kentueky's Famous Prisoner
Has Been Released

Frankfort, KY, June 14.-Governor
Wilson yesterday pardoned Caleb
Powers and Jim Howard, convicted Of
Icomplicity in the assassination of the
late William Goebel, former governor
of Kentucky.
At late hour Governor Wilson
gave out statement, declaring that
he had given the cases of both men
most careful consideration, and in re-
viewing the murder of Goebel. he de-
clared there was and In no shadow Of
excuse for the palliation of crime, but
that the graver the crime the graver
the responsibility of deciding the ques-
ton of guilt.
He declared that he had refused to
consider or credit any private appeal
in these cases.
The governor in his statement also
declared that the conditions which ex-
listed when the murder was commit
ted would battle description, the Bit
ter fight among the democrats in the
state having resulted in the election
of a republican governor. He said
that the reasonable men of the state
had been engaged in an effort to quiet
the threatened clash which had dis
graced the state when the news of
Goebers murder came with it's ensu-
ing storm of passion and excitement
and that the officers of the law, all of
whom were close friends of Governor
Goebel, had used every means In their
power to secure the conviction of the
murderers.
Governor Wilson further declared
fhot u-hnY hn a1o0fa6 he
had promised to consider these cases
impartially on law and facts, without
fear or favor to anyone and that he
had done So and was neither seeking
to avoid criticism or to win praise.
The statement then closes with the
declaration that after a full hearing
he has decided to grant to both men
a full pardon with restoration to all
the rights of citizenship, giving as
his reason that he Is fully convinced
that Powers is innocent of the crime
of which he has been accused, and
that his further prosecution would be
a great wrong against the peace and
well being of the state.
Governor Wilson added that after
reading the testimony he is convinced
that the shots that killed Governor
Goebel were fired by Youtsey.
Powers was released about 10
o'clock and went Immediately to the
hotel at Georgetown, in the Jail of
which he has been recently confined.
Howard was released in Frankfort at
about the same time. The charge
against Powers was that of being an
accessory before the fact to the muir
der, while Howard was given life
sentence charged with being the man
who fired the fatal shot

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

Ply local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an

ing of the Eustachian tube. When
Ibis tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is>entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Nine cases

dition of the mucous surfaces.

Columbus, O., July 15.-The Prohi-
bition national convention was called
to order at ten o'clock today in Me-
mortal Hall by Chairman Jones. After
the invocation by Chaplain E. L. Eat
on, of Illinois, Hon. Robert II.
Patton, of Springfield, was introduced
as temporary chairman. He attacked
the position of the Republican and
Democratic parties on the liquor ques-
ton and cited proof that Abraham
Lincoln favored prohibition of the
liquor traffic.
Following Patton's address the com
mittees were announced. 1t is believ
ed the entire work of the convention
except the nominations will be COM
pleted this afternoon and tonight.
There seems every probability that
several candidates for the first place
on the ticket will be presented to the
convention if Judge Seaborn Wright
of Georgia does not take the nomi-
nation.
The galleries were well filled, and
as the delegations entered the hall
they cheered for their choice for
President, and some sang songs.
Memorial Hall was tastefuIly deco
rated for the occasion. In addition to
a liberal display of the national col
ors the decorations included pictures
of Frances Willard, C,:pton B. Fiske,
General John Bidwell, Oliver Stewart,
Silas c. Swallow, Neal Dow and a
number of other Prohibition leaders,
past and present.
The selection of candidates for
President and Vice President is still
a matter of uncertainty. OF the many
names mentioned the Wright and
Artman" ticket appears to have the
most prominence. Still it has been
announced that Wright will refuse
to accept the nomination if rendered
him. Wright is Georgian, and in
