ROOSEVELT.

AS we go to press to-day no
doubt Roosevelt is on the ocean,
eagerly looking for signs of the
land which he loves so well. He
expects a reception in New York :,
but can hardly realize its immen-
sity. That a private citizen should
receive such an enthusiastic recep-
tion is without precedent, and
emphasis the fact that he is an ex-
traordinary man.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not born with
a "Gold spoon in his mouth" His
father though not rich as con pared
with the Astors, Nanderbilts, and
Goulds, was in comfortable circum-
stances, and able to send his son to
Harvard University, the Oldest,
most select, and expensive institu-
tion of learning in America, from
which the son graduated with high
honors. RooseveIt's advantages
for education were great, and right
well he improved them. Not con-
tent with his college requirements
Gas too many graduates are) he has
been student, and writer of books
ever since leaving his alma mater,
or university mother. Recently in
Europe, he talked with the presi-
dent of France in fairly good
French, and with the Kaiser of
Germany in excellent German.
Ninety per cent of the distin-
guished men in, the Uuited States
were the sons of farmers, and born
in the constry. Roosevelt on the
contrary was born in the city of
New York in 1853 and consequent
ly is now 50 years of age.
AT the age of 23 he was elected a
d member of the New York legsla-
ture, and the men who vote for
measures, right, or wrong, and
those who would vote for the Devil
if nominated by their party, soon
found that he was no comrade of
theirs. The old political leaders
were not long in discovering that
this young man could be led only
in one direction, the direction of
honest legislation that benefits all
the people. Such unyieldy men they
did not like, and tried to drive him

MunSOn Refuses Nomination.

G. Larue Munson of Williams
port has declined to permit the use
of his name as Democratic candi-
date for Governor. He says his
reasons are entirely personal and of
such nature that they cannot be
overcome. Mr.. Munson's refusal
comes as a surprise to everyone as
a nomination for governor is one
seldom turned down.

from public life, but like the man
who bore away the iron gates of
GAIA on his shoulders, he was too
strong for the Philistines. He
afterwards held the office of police
commissioner of New York, Presi-
dent of the civil service commission,
and Assistant Secretary of war,
which he resigned to go with his
regiment of rough riders to the war
in Cuba, where he gained military
honors for brave conduct.
At the time of his return, the
Republican party in New York
was likely to sustain a disastrous
defeat. A governor was to be
elected, and no one could have OBJ
tanned the office without the votes
of the independents, and no cap
able man could obtain them except
Roosevelt. Strange as it may APP
pear, the very men who had tried
to drive him from public life, now
solicited him to become the candi-
date for governor, and got him
elected by over $1,000 plurality
Thomas G. Platt (the state boss,
says in his memoirs: "I have always
maintained that no man except
Roosevelt could have accomplished
that feat in 1885, and further
says: "The great dispute between
Roosevelt and me came however
wnen the governor announced that
corporations must pay a franchise
tax, and clenched his fists, and
gritted his teeth, and drove through
the Legislature the franchise tax

Cold Summer Says Prophet.

Andrew House of Geneseo. n. Y. ,
a weather prophet, whose predic-
tons because of their accuracy, are
taken by the people in all parts of
New York state as authority states
that this summer will approach
closely to the year 1888 for cold,
wet weather. He predicts that
reasonable warm weather will con-
<tinue until toward the latter part
of June when it will turn cold.
July will be an exceptionally cold
month and only an occasional pleas
ant day is promised.
The latter part of August is the
only time summer will really APP
proach it's normal condition. He
sums up his predictions with the
statements: "While there will be
some hot weather, it will be OF
short duration, and the summer OF
1910 promises to be the coolest
summer that has been experienced
in over 80 years. Now isn't that
a rosy outlook for the straw hat,

Dodge City territory. The lack Of
action here in the past may have
been caused by lack Of business or
ganization. NV, however, we have
a splendid commercial club organ
ization and committee on irrigation
has been appointed. This paper
would like to see that committee
thoroughly posted on irrigation
and particularly on the Eureka
Ditch proposition. 1t would
like that committee to feel
that in the future if this ditch
chances to be used for territory not
close to Dodge City, it would be
more or less the fault OF this COM
mittee. 1t would like to see this
committee insist that attention is Civ
en- to this matter The irrigation
committee is the biggest committee
Of the commercial club. If it man.
ages to get satisfactory arrangements
made all around and helps to cause a
great part Of the water from this
ditch to be used close to Dodge City,
it will have done the greatest work
ever done by committee Of Dodge

that has been started or even plan
ned hert has one half Of the possibil.
tiles for adding wealth and popula-
tion this ditch offers. It impresses
the writer that there has been a lack
Of interest in this big work by thu
people Of Dodge City. We have be-
lieved for years that few little
pumping plants along the river bot
tom in this vicinity, utilized in truck
farming would work wonders in en-
couraging intensive farming. As
for the vast project of raising the
Arkansas River Underfow, it has for
many years been looked upon as
something too big and beneficial to
come true. On the scale SIS planned
BY the ditch company this is one OF
the greatest engineering projects Of
the middle west. The contempla-
tion Of five mile sump delivering
that great body Of water into sixty
foot ditch which will carry it ninety
six miles and bringing the food
waters ut times down to be stored in
great reservoirs is something stupen
dous. 1t is attracting the attention
of the world Of irrigation and of the
experts of the United States govern

depth of water-storsd gravel beds
above the sump that the engineers
say hey knowto be there it would
take long time to draw the water
off, aud it is coming down all of the
time and frequently the storage
space is being filed to overfowiDg by
flood waters. Then the ditch is
planned to bring down the waste
waters at flood times and store them
