Equality before the law" is one Of
those sweet sounding phrases which we
hear a great deal about but there never
wa. greater lie than that when APP
piled to the administration of justice
in most of the high tribunals of the
land. Some time ago it was discovered
that the government had been robbed
of millions by the sugar trust in un-
der weighing sugar imported through
New York custom house by shrewd
manipulation of the scales and sever
al of the weighers were ARE sted,
have been convicted aud will perhaps,
serve term in prison. These m en-
were in the employ of the government
and got little or nothing for their dis
honesty. 1t is impossible to suppos-
these fellows were stealing fro "A the
government just for the fun of it an d
for the benefit OF the Sugar trust
They must have been getting some
thing for their risk of the renitentiary
and if they were getting pay it must
have been coming from the officers of
the trust. The trust has voluntarily
paid to the government 5000, 600
which they agree was stolen by this

there has been unearthed the mos
startling revelation Of loo. eness ano
probsnly fraud in the administration
of The city government Of the city Of
w Keeling both in its corporation and
lIilependeat sch ,ol district affairs
The Register says:
Here are few Of the facts which
were made public Thursday night:
The city ledgers show assets and La
bilities amounting to 81 500, $3.50; the
adjustments to date by the accountants
show tina. the amounts should be SIS,
1856, 266.SS
For the present year there has been
appropriated to the bond commission
srs 81, 400 in excess Of requirements.
In making up the estimates for the
urrent year, city officials fixed the
revenue from liquor licenses at 5000,
when they knew from their own re-
cords that $22, 100 Of this sum had been
included in their cash on hand as OF
same date.
The city auditor has not collected sa-
loon licenses from saloons who have
been doing business for months without
payment of the fees required by law.
No proof was ever taken ofthe water,
gas or tax revenues as whole. The
system made 1t possible for officials of
those departments to buy "brown
stone fronts in New York city with
out any person being the wiser"
1t has been possible for officials Of
the police department to permit Of
Tenders to escape payment of fines and
the serving of prison sentences through
fsvoritism, or for them to pocket fines
paid with little, if any, danger of de-
lection.
State laws and the city ordinances
have been evaded or violated in many
practices of city officials and employees.
In the board of education orders and
vouchers have been burned, and no
records of many transactions have
been kept, while balances have been
just as given by the tax collector, and
the books CT the board forced to bal
ance in order TO conform with these
figures. A quarter of million dollars
was disbursed by the board of educa-
ton last year without any check upon
the clerk.

AT last there has been a movement
made by the people of Martinsburg for
new passenger station on the b. ~
O. A committee went to Baltimore on
last Monday by an appointment to in
terview Vice president Potter on the
subject and came away well pleased
with their reception and the prospects
for q new station. The committee laid
before Mr.. Potter the conditions of the
present accommodations here, to
which he replied, gentlemen we
plead guilty. He told the committee
that when he was here last he noticed
the conditions ard recognized the need
of better accommods tions for the PEG
ple of Martinsburg aud promised to
take the matter up at an early date
with the architect and engineers and
gave the committee TO understand that
there would be something done in the
near future. There is certainty no sta
ton along the liue of the road between
WASHINGTON and the Ohio river where
there is a more crying need fer new
station than ut this point. The wonder
to us is that our people have stood COM
placently quiet and suffer such condi-
tions to exist as have existed at our
b. Il o. Station. The building in use
at present is a nens &c to the health of
the community and is not fit fora cow
stable and yet this is one of the most
importaet stations on the lire of the
road.

COMMENOS JUDGE PRESTON.
Children Sent From Ford County Have Been
Placed In Good Homes BY Society
At Topeka.

In the juvenile court at Dodge
City recently, Judge Presten made
an order placing two children from
this town in the hands Of the society
at Topeka which finds homes for
children, and be also sent to the so
ciety baby which was left here
homeless, by parents who live else
where. The following letter re-
ceived from Topeka explains itself: !:
Topeka, Kansas. Aug Both, 1909.
Judge W. q Preston, Dodge City,
Kansas. Dear Sir: I believe let
ter Of congratulations is due you for
your firmness, in handling the Pheras
children. Both Of them have been
placed in good homes. and 80 far
neither have had any trouble in stay
ing, although the families have found
it necessary to be firm with them. I
sometimes wonder now the family
put up with the boy, but they have
mastered the situation, and say they
will keep HIM. Legal papers will be
made out soon for the girl. When
one sees the change OF habits, and
the moulding influence Of Christian
homes ON these two children, it il
certainly gratifying. l wish you
could let the ministers of the city and
the county officials know Of the sue
cess so far attained. For Judge, you
certainly know better than any other
person, what we as society had or
our hands. The little babe is adopted
by good family.
With best wishes, we are ready tc
serve your county at any time.
Respectfully,
S. @. CoBLENTz.

ONE Of THE BIG UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PRESENT AGE
Water is Soon to be Turned Into the Eureka Canal
Which Crosses the Full Length Of Ford County.
The "Traylor Idea" Promises to Win Out.

into consideration in bis study Of the
water supply: He has been over the
most Of the North American part Of
this continent and Central America
and knows 4 great deal rbou. what
ha> been done in different irrigation
projects.
The Arkansas valley, the Arkansas
river and the Arkansas underf)w is
perplsxiug affair altogether. In
the first place the river through this
part IT the country comes along on u
ridge, because even the top Of the
uDdsrfow il higher than lot Of the
country several miles back from the
river. 50 down the ridge comes this
river and uuder the river, and for u
long distance each eide are immense
sand aud gravel deposits, which are
two-thirds water Examine this sand
deposit, and you will wonder that
you can stand upon it without sink
ing belov the surface II you OK
pertinent, aud stand in one place
long enough you will find that you
are sinking, slowly Of course, but
You will get down il you stay with it..
This deposit, which is two-thirds
water by test, is miles wide and a
lot of it is deep Taking large area
Of this sand aud water, and figuring
/ the depth Of it, q reasonable idea can
be gained Of the immense amount of
water that is lying, or moving under
the ground above the Eureka canal
"sump." Then providing ,he''sump," /"
is built 30 that it will drain large
per cent Of this area,the question of
how fast the area will refill with water
arises.
Engineer Traylor has been making
various tests Of the water supply, and
/ the tests show a bigger supply than
be originally figured upon. On last
saturday a crowd OF twenty four
men, representing the commercial
club of Dodge City, visited the head
Of the canal Mr Traylor spent
much time in going over the matter,
explaining the different tests he had
The Globe-republican., 1909-09-09

putting the sump and the canal into
operation is to protect them against
food waters. The canal from the
head from some distance eastward
has high embankment at the south
side, so that the river can not bother,
and this part of the canal has taken
a great deal Of work. About hun
dred men have been working on thus
part of the canal and 1t is nearly
completed now. To building the five
miles Of sump it will have to be pro
tected all the way along by an en-
bankment sufficiently high to keep
out the food waters, aud il will BE-
built in sections, all sldes Of each
section being protected.
The plans Of the company at pres
ent go farther than anything con-
templated at the beginning, and in
clude the storing of water in rest r.
voirs along the ditch. The great res
ervoir contemplated in the vicinity Of
the Jack Incl place in the east part
Of Ford county if it can be filed,
would irrigate an immense area Of
the best land in Kansas, and would
be a great project of itself.
People still ask: Have these folks
sufficient financial backing to put the
project through? A visit to the works
at present is a strong argument in
that direction. The company is en-
ploying all Of the men and teams it
can get, and is under other big ex-
pense every day. 1t is paying out
the money every day and is asking NJ
one for any assistance. The financial
hackers at Denver and Philadelphia
have had the project investigated by
various engineers, and out Of dozen
all except two have reported that
the thing is possible and practicable.
and the men who are furnishing the
money seem to be satisfied, while
General Manager Traylor states
that il you will just stand around q
few weeks now, he will give an actual
demonstration Of the thing working

People along the Arkansas Valley
are beginning to sit up and take no
tice, as they realize that one OF the
greatest projects Of the present t me
is being worked out directly before
their eyes.
The raising Of the Arkansas under
flow by the "aump" intake plan ia
something new, big aud altogsther
striking in ,rrig.t and engineer
ing lines. It has been the dream oi
aome for many years, but hopeless
dream. The supply u water after
many different tests by the govern
ment and by individuals has re
mained much matter Of conjecture
Even the source Of the "uuderaow'
is Q matter which is not agreed upon
by the experts who have studied it.
Engineer Traylor believes that he
has measured fairly accurately the
supply Of the water. that he can avoid
the damage to be done BY the great
food wsters Of certain seasons, that
by the "sump" intake plan hs Car
collect at will the waters OF the un'
derAow and distribute moisture
through the aid OF the Eureka cans
over $4,000; 100. 900, possibly at some
future time, when storage reservoirs
can be utilized, over 26n,00O acres ol
land.
The acreage will be muah smaller
st the start, for the plan is to con
tinue work Of the "sump", and or
reservoirs for several years, bu'
wherever q ditch from the canal lead'
across o farm, the value Of the land
will jump from $25 an acre to $25l
in value.
Mr.. Traylor has been living "in thu
underfow" for several months, and
in fact has bse en- making q study ol
this particular water supply for thret
years past. Like the "Electrifylng'
Hulit he appeared upon the scene II
the interest Of the pumping business,
He has gathered all Of the data ol
private and government tests Of thit
particular locality, and taken them
