esty from politicians until you exact
honesty from business men; on the

fools or as hypocrites ii you say that
the corporation owner or the employ

the poor man never: that 1t is only
the wealthy man who corrupts the
politician who blackmails the corpor-

ANY man in his senses knows that
there are plenty of corporations in
this country who prosper by bribing
legislatures just as they prosper by
swindling the public: and any man
in his senses ought to know, in addi-

men of small means who, in legisla-

this, let them look at the revelations
of corruption in my own state-New

has occurred in California and what
has occurred in Illinois. In Illinois.
for instance, one of the rascalities de-
veloped by the recent investigation
was the existence OF combination of
legislators who blackmailed fishermen

Their corruption is no more due to

good, is done by the honest but mis-
guided man who would persuade you
that either fact is true. Our duty Is
to war with equal sternness against
the corrupt man of great wealth and
the small man who makes a trade of
corruption; our fight is against both
the swindling corporation and the
blackmailing or bribe-taking politi-
clan.
The reckless would-be reformer
who, in speaking or writing, seeks to
persuade us that We need pay heed to
corruption only when it shows itself
in the rich man, is doing as great a
moral wrong as the rich man whose

PAL|SADE HAS.
NO Legal RIGHT
TO CITY WATER

Technically speaking the. city of
Palisade is liable TO have her city wa
ter supply cut off any time Accord
ing to a decision rendered today by
A. II. Stokes, state water commits
sioner on appeal from Deputy Com
missioner Saunders.
The controversy is really to quiet
title to the waters of Rapid creek.
Messrs. A. r. and j. NJ. Sampliner
filed complaint with the commissioner
that Palisade only had agricultural
rights to the water yet was using 1t
for domestic purposes, contrary to the
legal restrictions.
Both the deputy and the commits
sioner decided in favor of the Sam
pliners and against Palisade, holding
that while Palisade. could acquire do
mestic rights to the water, yet at pres
ent all she had was agricultural
rights.
II is understood that the matter
now goes to the state engineer for
final decision. While there is no i'm
mediate danger that the Sampliners
would cut Palisade off from the use
of the water. still its considered best
that the question of rights be determ-
ined and that Palisade take advaht-
age of the present opportunity to ac-
qUlre rights to the water for domestic
use according to law.

munity. The people of this country
will get justice from the corporations
only if they both do justice to them
and rigidly exact it from them. I'm
less they do justice to rich men, they
put a premium upon injustice and
dishonesty among rich men. Let us
hold them to the stYictest accounts
bility for any wrong-doing: but let us
insist upon honesty in our own ranks
no less than theirs; let us war on
crookedness of every kind in the man
of small means as well as the man of
large means. Let us judge each man
by his conduct, and not by his social

Pauline's own world.
His quick glance swept boldly from
Pauline's lovely dark face to the lux
uriously furnished room, in one corner
of which sat Pauline's maid quietly
alert.

or was the book you lost and what
was its size?'

inches long"
What did it contatn?" asked Pau

Money" hesitated the man-"sev-
eral hundred dollars and a few trim
kets."
I'm sorry. but your description
doesn't At at ALL said Pauline pleas
antly, and she wondered at the ugly
frown that crossed the mans brow.
1t was not so much a frow of disap-
pointment as an expression of bafiied
rage.
The callers came at long intervals,
and they were all men. Some were
young and others were old. and each
one offered a description that nearly
fitted the pocketbook she had found.
At last the callers dwindled down to
one last straggler. a most progresses
ing young man whose manners We're
especially engaging.
I'm such a careless beggar," he ex-
planned to Pauline; I'm always los
ing something or other"
"Of course I must ask you to iden-
tify the pocketbook." hesitated Pau
line. Here, she felt, was the real
owner of the article.
ut was a dark Russia leather, al
most new, about ten inches long. 1t
contained between $500 and $500 in
bills-and something else. There was
no mark of Identification in the way
of letters or anything of that sort. I

Seventy street and went back
to search for II, but it could not be
found" He spoke rapidly and posi-
lively, and Pauline felt a little thrill
that she had at last discovered the
real owner.
Nevertheless she was rather piqued
by the fact that although he might
have cared enough about her picture
to carry it within his pocketbOok the
claimant did not seem to recognize by
any outward sign that the original Of
the picture sat before him. Conse-
quently she pressed the point to her
own cha2rin.

In the brief space of three months

Taft's plan of revising one schedule at
a time.

coming short session can do no good
