John Phillip Sousa Coming to Rocky
Ford.
After a strenuous six months John
Philip Sousa, composer-conductor
has begun his 3sth semi-annual tour
as director of the globe-famed band
that bears his name. Sousa has won
international distinction and deserv-
cd fame as the representative band
master and his march compositions
are today in vogue in every civilized
country in the world. His personality
and shrcwd tact has brought band
music to an elevated plane unequalcd
and is the object from which present
day imitators gain their point. Sousa
will not give the current season his
customary extension as The March
King" will be obliged to devote his
attention to the production of his
new opera "Thc Glass Blowers"
which production will be made about
the first of the new year. For this
reason the band music will comprise
a quick trip to the Pacilc Coast and
return closing in New York just be-
fore Xmas time. The local concert
is scheduled for Friday night, Oct.
18th. at the Grand, and the announce
mcnt has been met with an unusual
amount of interest.

colorado's Unique Exhibit.
Colorado is to tell 100000 farmers
from all parts Of the country more
about irrigation than they will ever
be able to find out by reading the
ernment reportn or railroad booklets.
This state which has developed ir-
rigation to its highest possibility,
and still has abundant opportunity for
enterprise and skill in opening further
projects, is to SHOW the farmers"
To do this a unique nlan has been
evolved by w. H. Olin, formerly OF
the Agricultural college at Fl. COL
Inns. With a number OF students at
the college, Mr.. Olin is constructing
landscape" 49,.
This bit of Colorado scenery will
show a mountain, representing the
rise of streams and melting of snow,
the conducting of the water through
fumes, across canyons and into the
irrigation bitches to the valleys below
following the contour of the land and
spreading out over the fields in later
ais and sub-latcrals. 49,.
Then this mechanical wonder will
be supplemented with exhibits OF
grain, grasses and vegetables grown
on the lands irrigated with the noun
tain streams. Photographs showing
typical farm scenes will also be used.
but the best evidence in the demon
strations will be the individual cxhib-
its of Colorado farmers.
The unique exhibit is to be taken
to Omaha first, where it will be seen
by the 100000 farmers who annually
attend the National Corn Exposition,
held there from Dec. 6 to IS. Colo
RADIO has an exhibit rivaling those OF
twcnty-threc other states exhibiting
at the exposition. The samples of
the grain exhibited by Colorado
farmers will be judged and the prize
winners placed in the Colorado ex-
hibit. A thophy wonth $500 is Of
fcrcd by Colorado for the best sam
pie of oats; and, while the contest is
open to the world, Colorado farmers
expect to bring it back to the Centen-
nial State

Senator Foster and His Tariff Speech.

Our readers are familiar with
the cogent and eloquent speech
delivered by the above distin.
guished gentlemen in the United
States Senate on the 10th of June,
relative to the odious tariff con.
cessions presented by the high
tariff republicans to the inhabi.
tants of Hayti and the Philip
pines. The Senator showed in
clear termssRepublican duplicity
in his address and rose to a
height of craftsmanship seldom
witnessed in the august body OF
which he is q member.
The death.knell of Louisiana
as sugar State has been
in a measure sounded by this
tariff iniquisy in favor of an UNI
sympathetic race of Asiatics-so
clearly, so flagrantly, as to leave
no doubt in the minds OF the
least observant that the Republic
can party is maintaining itself by
expedients at the expense of its
oft-declared principles OF pro-
lection to American industries.
OF Senator Foster and his great
speech, which ought to be placed
il the hands of every American
farmer, read what great paper
the Philadelphia Evening Item
had to say only a few days ago:
"Senator Murphy j. Foster. OF
Louisiana, recently made speech
in the Senate on the subject of the
tariff in it's relations to Hawaii
and the Philippines. Sometimes
in Congress true statesman rises
to the front, one who views things
from high moral plane of dis
interestedness, coupled with
very large knowledge on the
subject.
mr.. Foster is one of them. He
dwelt upon the subject of govern
ment in our oriental possessions.
AS he has been on the ground,
and there became intimate with
the prevailing conditions, he
sounds a note of warning which
all citizens should heed. In fact
his entire speech should be in the
hands of the entire people, for it
is vital to our nations future.
"Mr. Fosters really brilliant
and most exhaustive speech
should be in every American
farmers hands. 1t is filled with
farsighted analytical instruction
on q very deep subject"
