NOW FOR PROSPERITY.

Time alone will permit of accur ate
judgment of the new tariff bill. The
perspective of the months to come
alone will disclose it's weak spots and
emphasize its points of vantage. That
it has defects is manifest. To what
extent those defects will affect the
general prosperity remains to be seen.
Not until the millennium dawns may
we expect q tariff bill that will please
all sections; for despite the fact that
the protective principle is recognized
now by all parties as never before. 1t
remains true that the tariff is and
must ever be q local question.
For good or for i'll, the special
session of congress-, called by Presi-
dent Taft to revise the tariff, has com.
pleted its tack. Undoubtedly the PEG.
pie 10 q whole anticipated . more
general revision downward than has
been effected; in view of the pledges
of the party ia power and the platform
of the opposition organization, they
had q right to expect that. And yet
in fixing the responsibility for the
failure to meet the general demand
more fully, 1t is difficult to place it
upon the republicans as q party, for
democrats helped at critical times to
increased rates on necessities.
If the bill has failed lamentably to
bring the relief that Is gener ally de.
manded, the issue will be raised in
four years o r less In Q way that will
leave no doubt about the will of the
people and Of their power to enforce
it.. At this time 40 man can with Ger.
tainty predict the verdict. Whatever
doubt there may be concerning the
outcome, all will agree that it is we'll
the agony is VI
Good, bad or Indifferent as the act
may be, certain it is that we may now
look for a business revival all over
the country and an era of prosperity
such as we have not known since q
defective currency system helped to
Bring on the panic. This years the
year and every one should be up and

SETTLERS ARE INTERESTED.

Settlers on land tributary to the
government Milk river project, will
be interested in the announcement that
the senate committee on irrigation will
visit that locality on or about August
q, for the purpose of making person
al investig alton of existing conditions.
The committee, through its charm an,
Senator Carter, states that it wishes
to secure information deemed useful
in the consideration of proposed leg
islation affecting the reclamation of
arid lands.
The visit Of the United States sena-
tors will be an occasion upon which
any defects in the reclamation law, or
in the method of it's administration,
may be brought to their attention by
the settlers affected. 1t has been cur.
rent gossip for some time that many
settlers in the Milk river valley are
not satisfied with the management Of
the undertaking. They allege extrav-
agance in disbursing reclamation
funds, a larger cost than necessary
for work that has been done, and in
excusable delay in completing the
Dodson dam aud constructing bitches.
Whether there is legitimate reason
for such criticism, this newspaper is
not prepared to state, but this talk
has been current for some time past,
and if there is any real cause for it.,
the matter should be brought to the
attention of the senate committee for
investigation with a request that it be
given consideration.
AS the parties who will ultimately
repay the government every dollar
expended on the Milk river project,
the settlers are entitled to a dollar
value for every dollar they will te
required to pay. They should have
full knowledge of every expenditure
made upon their project from the re.
clamation fund, and be advised upon
every other matter in which they are
personally affected.
In announcing its purpose to visit
the several reclamation projects, the
senate committee on irrig alton makes
these suggestions to settlers who wist
to communicate their views:
In the judgment of the committe,
the views of the members Of each wa
ter users association should be se
cured and carefully considered i,
order to ascertain existing condition
from their point of view. The waite
users are vitality interested in all leg
islation which may directly or iudi
rectly affect the reclamation work an
to them the committee will look for
full and free expression of their delit
crate opinions on the existing law, til
administra alton thereof, and the sus
gestion of such amendments to tn
law as may be deemed useful.
For the purpose of economizin
time in securing the desired expre'
sions it Ia respectfully requested tn
the water users be assembled in a pull
lie meeting or q series Of meetings
discuss such matters as they desire
present to the committee, and the
views be formulated in q concise stat
ment in writing, the same to be pr
scented by a committe of their meu
bers who will be prepared to answt

WeSleyaR Game on Election
Dag Causes -Anaiety.

The New York University football squad
yesterday began its preparation for the
game with Wesleyan on Election Day. The
university team has clean defensive slate
fl the contests TO date, but there is good
deal of anxiety about the Wesleyan game
Last year New York held Wesleyan to a tie
IA a hard fought game. The teams seem
to be fairly we'll matched this year.
Ocott gave his men light practice yes
terday. He will try Yale methods vfrom
new on. twenty minutes scrimmage be-
tween the varsity and the second eleven
was the main feature of the practice yes,
terday. The game on Saturday brought
out TWO men especially, W. Elliffe and
Davis. They, with butcher, the giant crew
man, wero put on the line yesterday. Cap
tain Wheeler and w. Elliffe tried a 45-yard
forward pass, and executed it well. Tho
local eleven is beginning to use the forward
pass with telling effect.
II was especially satisfied with Yule and
the uniform and consistent line bueking of
our men, said Oleott yesterday.
Aside from the short scrImmage work
yesterday. the bael61eld was drilled in punt
ing, kicking from placement and eatchlns
the ball from Oleott's kicks. The varsity
lineup yesterday follows: Left end, Cap
tain Wheeler; left tackle. butcher; LEFT
guard. Henneberger; centre Cooney; right
guard, Makay; right tackle. Davis; right

POWERS SEEMS SAFE
Not Likely To Be Deposed IN
Eastern League.

Despite an opposition more or less strenu-
Gus and a good deal Of talk OF dissatisfac-
ton, Patrick T. Powers is likely to be re-
elected president of the Eastern League OF
baseball clubs at the annual meeting, which
begins at the Hotel Victoria to-day. Mr.
Powers himself appears to have no doubt
of the outcome, and few could be found
in baseball circles about the city last night
who thought there was chance Of his
defeat,
James Price, a we'll known sporting ed
itor of this city, is the leading and at pres
ent the only candidate OF the anti-Powers
forces. He is popular enough among the
club owners, and has many friends. but
his friends are also those Of Mr.. Powers.
and it Is thought that he may withdraw
his candidacy before the meeting is called
to order tonight.
Mr.. Powers has done much for the East
ern League, holding It together in many
critical periods. Newark and Baltimore are
said to be opposed to him, and possibly
Montreal. but the other five clubs are al
most sure to support him.
