Denver, Colo, Oct, %, 1909.


To The Colorado Statesman:
Senator Patterson in an editorial in
the News Tuesday morning attempt
ing to dispute the valuation claimed
by the Denver Union Water Company
for it's water rights made showing
that indicates that the opponents of
of the company have a woefully weak
case on the water right question.
The weakness of the showing on
water right values suggests that it
would be well to analyze carefully the
cheap water plant claims made by the
Senator before taking them too seri-
ously. The News could find no ar
gument against the valuation placed
upon the company's rights for irriga-
ton purposes except that it was al
lowed on the quantity of water sup
piled under the rights during twelve
months in the year With owl like
wisdom the News remarked tnat the
irrigation season lasts only six months
and during the balance of the year the
water runs to waste, therefore it is
useless for irrigation purposes.
The News forgets, or perhaps care
fully evaded the fact that the water
company has built and maintains a
large system of storage reservoirs for
the purpose of catching the non-irri-
eating season and flood waters, and
storing them for delivery when they
are needed.
The capacity of these reservoirs ac-
cording to the best information avail
able is more than 100000 acre-feet OF
water. Taking this into consideration
it can readily be seen that the COM
pany needs to divert only small por-
ton of it's 1873, 500 acre feet during the
irrigating season.
1t is generally conceded in Colorado
that the irrigation project which has
behind it ample reservoir capacity for
the collection of the non-irrigating
season and flood waters is much more
reliable and valuable than the project
that depends solely upon direct flow.
1t stores water when the land does
not need it and releases it as re-
quired.
If the water company had no reser-
voirs the claims of the News might
have some foundation, but under the
circumstances it is shooting away from
the target The water company's stor-
age rights are the best in the Den
yer district. 1RRlGATOR.

The official board has planned to
do great things in the near future.
You will hardly know the old church
edifice in a few weeks. Watch the
members of Scott's Chapel work. They
are in harmony and there is nothing
to defeat them. These are some of
the things that they will do: paint
the church, build coal house, put in
a lawn, put up a new sign board an
nouncing the services, make black
board to make announcements of the
weekly services and entertainments,
put in new chandeliers, calcimine the
walls of the church. We ask your
aid and sympathy in this great work
Scott's Chapel has one of the best
locations in the city. Our people are
settling around Five Points very rap
idly. In a few years this will be an
aristocratic colored neighborhood.
.Scott's Chapel will try to do her duty
in trying to raise the ideals of living
among our people.

NO AS|ATICS MAY
BECOME CITIZENS Of
UNITED STATES

No Asiatics, whether Caucasian,
Monaghan or otherwise, are elig-
ible to citizenship in the United
States.
All Europeans, excepting Turks
are eligible.
Natives of Africa and persons of
African descent are eligible.
Indians across the border or
half breed Indians are not eligible.
The above rules are the result of
court decisions and the policy
adopted by the bureau of immi-
grafton and naturalization. The
supreme court of the United States
has not yet been called upon to
construe the naturalization law,
which was passed in 1902 and had
been amended from time to time
since.
When the fathers of the repub-
lie in 1902 drafted the naturaliza-
ton laws they incorporation there
in that white persons should be
eligible to citizenship in these
United States. Since then the
definition of white" has been. a
source of bother and annoyance to
courts and bureaus.
1t has finally come to an agreed
construction that white" does not
mean Caucasian or Aryan, but
just white" and the European ex-
traction. There are federal court
decisions from Massachusetts to
Washington and some state su-
preme court decisions that lay
down this doctrine.
The federal statute makes an ex
ception in favor of the Negroes
who were given as heritage to
the country following the Eman-
cipatiou proclamation.
In 1870 the naturalization laws
were amended by the addition of
the following section: The pro
visions of this title shall apply to
aliens being free white persons and
to aliens of African nativity and
to persons of African descent.
On Thursday press dispatches
from New Mexico stated that
Federal Judge McFie had denied
the application of Syrian for
naturalization papers, holding that
he did not come within the pro-
vision of the act which reads free
white persons" The Post.

easr to comb and arrange in any style de-

the Pomade remains in the hair. This result
may be obtained by one thorough application

When Webster Acted as Cook.

Recently there came into the posses
sion Of a Boston collector of marine
paintings a picture representing the pi'
lot boat Friend.
This vessel is recalled by a few Of
the older pilots and sea captains OF Bos-
ton as in the fleet of Boston pilot boats
before the war. Indeed, she dated from
1847, and her service off this port in fair
weather and foul, summer and winter,
carried her successfully through nearly
a quarter Of century When she had
outlived her usefulness as a pilot boat
and larger schooners had made her OBJ
solete in the service, she was sold and
entered other fields of usefulness.
One Of the most interesting facts about
the Friend is that she was used by Dan
iel Webster and his associates in recre'
aticn for their outings down Boston har.
bor, of which they had many. On those
occasions Webster made the fish chowder
which was always the chief dish in the

BIossoming Politics.

District politics, congressional
and judicial, are being freely
discussed by our exchanges this
early in the game. In the matter
of congressional nominations there
does not seem. to'be such a wide
diversion of choice. The Repub-
licans will doubtlessly nominate
Hon. Polite Elvins for reelection
without opposition, while the
Democrats seem to be centering
upon State Senator John L. Brad
ley of st. Francois county as the
only man who would have any
chance to defeat Elvins. Brad
ley's alleged popularity with the
labor vote in the Lead Belt is the
urging cause that is bringing him
to the front for the Democratic
nomination. The man who can
carry that vote is the one who will
go to congress. Still Elvins is not
without strong following in the
labor vote Of the Lead Belt HIM
self. and the friends Of John j..
would not find him running as
easy as they imagine. Elvins' ef-
forts in behalf of the tariff duties
on lead and barytes will getNhim a
lot of new supporters in st. Fran
co.'s and Washington counties.
The race for the nominations
of circuit Judge, Republican and
Democratic, is still a free-for-all
and it lookslike all were getting
into it, especially on the Demo-
cratic side, where pretty nearly
every lawyer practicing at the bar
has his lightning rod raised to
catch the party preferment for this
office. Republican candidates fol
this Office are not quite so numer-
Gus. So far only one, E. G. Edgar,
of De Soto has openly announced
himself. The present incumbent,
Judge Williams, is mentioned as 9
candidate for reelection, and
while he has made no definite
statement of his purpose in the
matter, the friends of ex-Con-
gressman M. Il. Rhodes of Potosi
believe that If he decides to enter
the race for theS nomination fol
this Office he can get it. Among
the Democrats mentioned for the
nomination are Judge L. F. Din
ming, E. M. Dearing, E. 7. Ever

Osteopathic Treatment.

NEW LIGHT ON LA GRIP

"A IE w l1I0I1I O4S LIZA CANAA
La Grippe, which some persons
seem to regard as merely "a very
bad cold" is really tdeadly"
disease and for many people
proves fully as dangerous as pneu-
monia, although its rayages are
not asimmediate. 1t is insidious
in it's assault upon health.
La grippe victims languish
from lowered vitality and perma-
nent weakening Of the heart, only

the sufferer weaker and more
susceptible to other maladies. The
door is thus Sopened to invite in
pneumonia, typho-pneumonia and
typhoid. A constitution that has
been weakened by ''the grip" is
very likely to collapse under the
toxins generated by these dis
eases.
Many Of the now frequent sud-
den deaths ascribed to ''heart dis
ease" and "heart failure" are the
end-produets of la grippe, pure
and simple.
The treatment of la grippe is
therefore all-important. Here is
a good illustration whore ga stitch

vents damage to vitality which

What has been thus recorded as

history of la grippe under drug

treatments except osteopathy.
Fortunately for mankind, la
grippe is not a deadly disease
