OBSERVATIONS

by irrigation continues the poor peo-
pie will not have wherewith to drink.
Tight money in Wall street must
mean that those who have it must
be intoxicated with it's possession.
Staples in brisk demand quotes
Bradstreets. Glad to hear it. If the
staples would only loosen a little
maybe the door could be unlocked
and hungry man get something a
little more digestible than staples.
A paradox IS uttered in a heading
of an editorial in a Denver paper:
THE need of honesty in lawmaking."
Thought that law made a set at
virtue. The law is supposed to be
the governing motive of most people
regarding morals. The ten command
ments were the law and supposedly
good morals. However times are
changed. Judging there is no honesty
in the law, simply pretense and
hold-up as a means of punishment
for the other fellow who offends.
man in New York receives $15S
week for simply marking leather.
OF course there are few frills about
the labor. One receiving that amount
for any kind of labor ought to have
sense enough not to demean the
source of his income.
Charles w. Morse and John R.
Walsh, men who had been found out
and convicted for offenses against
others, are convinced that they can
make restitution in brief space of
time If given the opportunity. One
might ask how they will do it? Men
have labored their whole life con-
scientiously and are possessed of no
more than when they started. These
two also began at the bottom and
landed in jail. They were of the get
rich-Quick kind. They want a chance
at the public to pay their private
debts and again build up a new for
tune in possibly the old way. They
are better off in Jail.
Nothing has been heard lately of
the developments on the Panama
canal 1t was kind of ominous, this
silence. Now comes the startling de-
mand for an appropriation aggregat-
ing s4S,063,524. Col. Goethals must
be a fine mathematician to ring in
those few thousand. Some would
think it a disgrace to back out of
such an enterprise once embarked.
What's a platry $4,000, 900, more or
less, considering what it is expected
to cost?
If this land distribution in the west
continues the east will become de-
populated. Inquiry columns in eastern
newspapers are full of information
concerning the drawings for land of
western reserves and Indian reserva-
tons The popular movement now is
westward and Colorado is receiving
a large share of the throngs.
A spasm in steel clears the air in
Wall street it is said. 1t is quite
likely. When steel shivers a fall
generally follows.

at the Denver stock yards, 1t would
seem that heavy feeders were in de-
mand. The landlady of the boarding
house holds to the opinion that heavy
feeders should always be at z dis
count.
The poultry receipts are reported
light. Too many feathers might be an
explanation of the cause.
Should all the irrigation schemes
now extant and projected make good.
the promoters will certainly not have
worked in vain. And such an influx
of people will have cong-egated to
prove other efforts in that direction
useless.
Don't say that nothing good ever
came out Of the metropolis. An in
vention that is an innovation and
warranted to fill long-felt want, has
lately been sprung upon long-anti-
'cipatory public. 1t is no less a device
than that Of aiding the hostess in
entertaining her guests. She will no
longer be under the suspicion of
whispering adverse orders contrary
to the wishes of guests. 1t is all
very simple. The waiter need no
longer come into the room or the
cook, either. Really. 1t is all so won
derful and simple that puzzle lies In
that 1t had never been thought of
before. Details are lacking, besides
1t Is not patented.
