President Taft and Secretary Balm
ger would give the matter careful
consideration when they met on this
side of the hills. Although the visit
of the president and Secretary Bal
linger to the lands of the Grand val
ley is to the world at large, a matter
of history, TO the people of Grand
valley it is still fresh in memory and
they are still eager for even one word
that gives the least hope of the gov
ernment pushing the work of the
canal that means so much TO the land
holders in Grand valley IL was for
this reason that the Post this week
called upon Congressman Edward T.
Taylor, who was special guest of
the president from this city to Mont
rose and who had a grand opportun-
ity of sounding both the secretary
and president as they were passing
from this city TO Grand Junction
through the country that is the best
on earth, but much of which still
needs water to transform IL from
sage brush wilderness TO a fortune
making orchard.
"f certainly had a fine opportunity
to talk to the president about the
Grand valley canal and | put in my
time answering the questions asked
me by both the president and Mr.
Ballinger. They asked all about irri-
eating, ranching and everything else
that could possibly be of assistance in
their final decision regarding the
completion of that canal. You notice
that | say completion. rather than
starting. the canal. | do that ad-
yisedly, for | am convinced that both
the president and Secretary Balm
ger look upon the Grand valley prof.
ect as one already started and not one
that is yet TO begin" said Mr.. Taylor.
Continuing, he said, 1.-THE Grand val
ley vanal will be built and will be
built by the government. II is true,
there may be some delay in securing
the funds necessary, for the receipts
of tho government, which can be used
Tor that purpose. are not flowing in
very rapidly and you know il takes
money and lots of il To build big
irigating plant like this will be.
But that canal will be built and il
Will not be long before those thou
sands of now dry acres of land will be
doing their share toward making this
western part of the state more pros
porous
When asked il he cared to give the
conversation between himself and
President Taft. Mr.. Taylor said he
did not feel that he should do SO.
You see when person is talking to
The daily sentinel., 1909-10-02

the president of the United States on
a matter of this kind, he should not
betray the confidence of the presi-
dent, but should permit the latter to
make known to the people regarding
his opinions of such questions.
In spite of the fact that Mr.. Taylor
would not divulge the exact conVer-
sations, it was evident that he was
thoroughly impressed with but one
idea, and that was that both the
president and secretary were united
in their belief that the work should
90 ahead as rapidly as money would
allow. "Nou can say that l believe
have sufficient grounds for the inn
preston ! received" said Mr.. Taylor
When asked if President Taft and
Secretary Ballinger seemed interested
in the Grand valley as they were pass
ing through that section. Mr.. Taylor
said Il had good chance to talk
to the president while | was with
him and both he and Mr.. Ballinger
kept firing questions at me and | did
my best to tell them all | know about
that country and of the need for the
canal. They seemed surprised at the
prosperity that was evident in Grand
told that all the orchards were the
result of mans labors in getting wa
ter onto the arid sage brush land
he became deeply interested in the
modes of irrigating land and the
president wanted to know If we felt
sure water would make it produce
did not have to answer his question
for we were hurrying on through the
valley and before | could answer him
we passed fine orchard, thus he
could see the answer TO his question
and 1t was more than evident that he
realized the Importance of the Grand
valley canal"
The attention of Mr.. Taylor was
then called TO the recent reports to
the effect that the Grand valley canal
was n new project. He was asked if
he believed the president and Mr.
Ballinger were willing to have the
canal considered by the government
as an unfinished project. and he re-
piled: ~ did hear both MIR. BaIlin-
ger and the president talking of this
phase of the matter and it was very
evident that they hold the Grand val
ley canal to be an unfinished project
and not n new one or one that has not
been started. II was also evident
that both gentlemen secretly wished
the government was supplied with
sufficient funds at this time to push
the work to rapid completion. II is
true" said Mr. Taylor. that the gov
eminent has spent large sums for this
kind of work and at present the funds
are rather low and | believe both the
president and Mr.. Ballinger are look
ing to congress for assistance In
fact l know they are and that con
gress will be asked at the coming
session to assist in reclamation work
in the west. But you know the west
! ern men will have to stand shoulder

bill will be presented asking for S25,-

Mr.. Taylor was then asked if the.
president made any positive statSs
ment lhat could have no other meaI
ing than that he was in favor of TIN
canal, and said; During the con-
versation between the president and
MIR. Ballinger, during which the presi-
dent asked n number of questions Of
the secretary, il was clearly shown
that MIR. Taft is with the farmers of
Grand valley and after one of his re-
marks said, MIR. President, if Won

feel that he should use such positive
language in public for there might
be some slip in the plans that would
necessitate a delay in the work after
1t is started. He seemed to feel that

doubts Mr Hopkins efficiency as an

The Giant and the Pigmles.

Few things have SO sharply accentu-
ated the greatness Of President Roose-
welt as has the smallness of some
of his opponents in these closing days
of his administration. Now that the
giant is about to step out of the Office
to which he has given world wide dis.
tinction and honor, the envious pigmies
are busy. Out of the shadows of COM
parative retirement, to which Theodore
Roosevelt has consigned the champions
of money rule. one after another of his
chafing victims comes into the light
long enough to assail the departing
statesman.
President Roosevelt has not been in
fallible in his judgment, nor has he al
ways been much less sought to be
diplomatic in his methods. But his ad-
ministration has been fraught with tre-
mendous good for the people. He has
accomplished things that waited and
waited for the right man to secure their
accomplishment. he has raised the
standards of political, official and busi-
ness morality and has given the nation
high social onds pat y 10 Z pirntions.
Although not claiming to be a Construct.
i've economist, he has opened the eyes
of the people as no other man before
fore him did to the greatness Of the
country and to its obligation to the
present and to future generations. Cor
respondingly, he has aroused the AMI
mostly Of the beneficiaries Of special
privileges everywhere, and this class
cannot conceal its satisfaction over the
nearing end of his administration, and
some Of them have not even taken the
pains to hide their malice.
The distinction achieved by hitherto
obscure member of congress Is not the
kind of fame he sought. for he will be
remembered less because he attacked
the president than because he made
himself SO offensive that the house. by
an overwhelming vote, sent him to his
seat. Remembering the extreme toler-
alton Of the house, especially for the
traducers of the president, the Brook
lyn pigmy has done remarkable thing
He has shown the country that there is
after all, limit to which congress. as

spiracy to discredit the Roosevelt ad'
ministration as warning" to Presi-

dates in the published notice of the old
board, up to the day the new board ro-
ganized. He might also have explained
to his readers why, for the good of the
taxpayers of the county, it was so
necessary that the old board should act
on this matter that action must be at
tempted contrary to law and precedents.
We would not For a moment question
the correctness of his statement that
the action Of the new board was dis

as full statement of the
facts as above suggested, by the time

his readers would not have even suspi-
cioned that there was any thing in the
action referred to to excite disgust.
