Time Works Wonders.


The early settlers of Phillips county
can remember the time when the farm
ers of the irrigated part of our state
looked with pity upon the poor, deluded
homesteaders who were foolish enoug
to imagine that they could ever make
living by the cultivation of the soil in
eastern Colorado, and even suggested
the ACCESSIBILITY of the state aiding thes
homesteaders to find homes elsewher
and leave eastern Colorado to the rang
steer, the coyote and the prairie dog.
Fortunately for the homesteaders an
fortunately for the state of Colorado,
many of these homesteaders took yer
different view of this matter from tina
held and freely expressed by their pros
porous brother farmers in the irrigate
part of the state and, with the iron
nerve of the successful pioneer an
strong faith in the final outcome, they
stayed with their homesteads and, to-
day, can laugh at the assumed superior
knowledge of their brother farmers of
the irrigation persuasion as to wha
could and what could not be done in the
line of farming in eastern Colorado.
They have not only shown that profita-
BILE farming can be done in this part Of
the state but they have recently shown
the nerve to place the grain raised here
without irrigation on exhibition at the
big fairs of the country in competition
with the grain of the irrigated districts
and, in some cases, have caused the ir-
rigation farmer considerable uneas-
ness for fear they would carry off the
premiums over his grain.
At the recent corn show at Omaha,
Phillips county had on exhibition fine
sample of oats that, under the rules of
all such fairs, should have had first
premium as against all Colorado ex-
hibits of oats. There was but one ex-
hibit of oats raised under irrigation
that surpassed it on a test and the
judges at first turned the irrigated ex-
hibit down for the reason that it showed
very plainly that it had been "clpped"
that is, the hull of the grain had been
rubbed off in order to make the grain
show better test. However, a prom
inent lawyer of Weld county, who rep.
resented the irrigation exhibits, after

A Merry Christmas To All.
The Extra Ses,ion.

Governor Shafroth has apparently
brushed aside the opposition among his
party leaders to his extra session Of
the state legislature and is reported to
have given it out cold that, regardless
of all opposition, he proposes to call an
extra session,
The extra session is very strenuously
opposed by the democratic state auditor
and the treasurer who have carefully
and, as is claimed, very conservatively
gone over the financial condition of the
present state administration and made
report OF their findings and estimates
to the governor. According to their
estimates, even without an extra ses-
sion, the administration faces a large
shortage in necessary funds. With an
extra session this shortage will, Of
necessity, be very largely increased
and yet, in the face this warning given
by those state officials who are sup
posed to have given the most careful
consideration to the question of the
finances of the administration, we are
to have an extra session.
No extra session of the state legisla-
ure is supposed to be called except in
an emergency which demands immedi-
ate action on the part of the Legislature
No such an emergency has arisen since
the adjournment of the regular session
of the seventeenth general assembly.
No legislation will be recommended to
the extra session that was not recon-
mended by the governor to the regular
session. The legislature turned down
these recommendation at the regular
session and there has certainly been
Al least no public utterance on the
part of the state Legislators since the
adjournment of the regular session
that would indicate such change in
their views as would be to secure the
recommended legislation. Even If it
should prove to be the case that the
legislators have had a change of mind
and are now favorable to the proposed
Legislation, there is no demand for the
proposed legislation that rises to the
dignity of an emergency that would
justify the calling of an extra session
of the legislature. The only emergency
that could be plead and, in fact, the
only emergency that seems to be offered
rs justification for the extra session,
is democratic party emergency. The
party adopted state platform to get
in on, and then, after the party had
gotten in, the democratic Legislators
baked at the proposition of carrying
into effect by legislation the declara-
tons of the platform and now, simply
because they failed at the regular SEES.
sion to redeem their platform party
pledges, the taxpayers of the state are
to be treated to the luxury of an extra
session in order that the democratic
party may have another chance to
patch up its record for the state cam.
paign of next fall.

Praise Cudahy
for Waiting
Physicians Look with Approval Upon
Decision to Delay Wedding
While Ill

Edward Cudahy's refusal to endanger
the health of his prospective bride is
assuming the proportions of a national
discussion with physicians all over the >land
declaring that the young man has lone
well.
Interviews with eminent authorities on
tuberculosis as regards the decision of Mr..
Cudahy were printed in Chicago papers
yesterday. DR.. Henry b, Favill Of the CHI
cago tuberculosis institute declaring:
1T was a wise precaution to take, and
It would be we'll for all persons who nave
.pathognomonic symptoms TO be careful
before entering upon the marital state.
While It is no longer generally believed
that diseases such as tubercular infections
are inherited by the children OF afflicted
parents. the danger lies in another dlrec-
ton.
Such infections are contagious and can
be transmitted by the husband to the wife,
or by the wife to the husband, and 1t
would be difficult to maintain such con-
ditions OF hygiene In the family that such
contagion would not be possible.
I'm all such cases l would consider IL
wise to pursue the same course as Mr..
Cudahy and postpone the wedding until
the disease has been eradicated and until
their physicians have advised them that
there is no further danger of spreading
the co~ntagion."
DR.. w. T.. Belfleld, Secretary OF the
Chicago Society for Social Hygiene, said:
"Of course, l know nothing about this
individual case and cannot say whether
there would be any actual danger either to
his prospective bride or their possible
progeny II young Mr.. Cudahy were to
marry at this time, but the thing that
strikes me favorably and forcibly Is that
he has taken precautions.
THAT is a thing that we nave been
trying TO teach. We AVE preached and
written against hasty marriages among
diseased persons, for while neither 1 nor
others who have studied the question Of
heredity believe that there is such a thing
as IN inherited disease, I do feel certain
that 1t is frequently impossible to prevent
the transmission OF q disease from the
parent TO a child"
