DIRTY POLITICS.

In 1910 when the fight that ragged about Secretary Ballinger had brought down upon the administration an avail anche Of criticism and charges that unjustly involved the president. a Washington correspondent said of Taft: He stands like a wounded buf- falo. maddened and in pain. tossing his head from side to side. undetermined just which way to charge"
 Harassed and harried on every side. misled by some friends. misJudged by others misrepresented by his foes, bur dened with new and grave responsi- bilities. confronted by a party at war with itself. Mir Taft has stood fast with congress on hls hands that held majority welded 10 policies which the country had outlived and repudiat- ed.
 With popular minority incapable of delivering to the country the legisla- ton the people desired. the members of which were largely anxious to capi- talize their political views into political offices, Mir. Taft was fairly shoveled into position such as had confronted no president before him.
 He had nothing to do with creating the conditions he was compelled to face. The outlook seemed hopeless. He must depend upon a reactIonary congress for progressive legislation. With progressive minority nulllfyIns it's own strength by demanding things it was unable to deliver and that none was so foolish as to believe a stand pat majority would assent to. Mir. Taft was In no enviable plight That he succeeded in wrestling from this in- harmonious condition the long list of beneficent legislation placed to his credit in two years is remarkable achievement.

TAFT HATES MuckRAkERs.

President Taft recently stated when his attention was called to the Dick to Dick" letter that created so much talk last winter:
 Stronger evidence of the falsity and maliciously slanderous character of the alleged postscript could not be had. It's only significance Is the light it throws on the bitterness of venom of some of those who take active part in every discussion of Alaskan issues. The in- tensity of their desire to besmirch all who invest in that district and all who are officially connected with it's ad- ministration operates upon the minds of weak or depraved human instru- ments and prompts the fabrication of such false testimony as this postscript. dislike to dwell upon this feature of the case but 1t is so full of a lesson that ought to be taken to the heart of every patriotic citizen that l can not pass it over in silence.

stock killing Law.

The new railroad stock killing
act took effect. on saturday. 1t Will
take ID little time TO adjust the new
law. but it is expected TO prove
most satisfactory when once in
operation. The operation OF the act
in brief is as follows:
When an animal is struck by an
engine, it is the duty OF the engin-
eer to notify the nearest station
agent or some one in authority at
the end of his division. The rail-
road will then notify the nearest
stock inspector whose duty it will be
10 visit the point and examine the
animal secure a description OF ii
and estimate its value. A report is
then sent to the Secretary of the
State Stock Inspection Board, who
notifies the claim agent of the rail-
road and also the owner of the
animal If known. The owner can
then make his claim through the
Inspection Board. If either the own
er or the railroad is not satisfied
with the value placed upon the
animal by the inspector, they have
the right to appeal to the board and
as to the liability of the railroad
company under the law.
If the animal is unknown, an ad-
vertisement is placed in a paper
published in the county where the
accident occurred. The owner has
six months to establish ownership
and make claim if the animal is I'M
claimed at the end of six months
the railroad pays the advertising
bill and the claim becomes void.
The new law is intended to be
fair to the railroads as well as to
the stock owner. 1t will probably
put an end to the old jokes about
crossing mule with a locomotive
and producing a pure-bred stallion.
but 1t will result in prompt settle
ment of just claims and excluding
those where owners are not entitled
TO recover While the stock owner
has the right to collect in court, If
he desires. it is believed that prac-
ticaIy all the claims will be dis
posed of through the Inspection
Board.
This law was drawn by represen-
tatives of the railroads and stock
men working together, and ii Will
be given fair test in actual oper-
alton. 1t is radically different from
the old laws. which have been declai
ed void

TIMELY TOPICS.

A new era has arrived in the
irrigation development of Colorado
and hundreds of independent sys-
TENS are being installed all over
the state. The water supply will
come from wells fed by under
ground streams which apparently
are inexhaustible for they are fed
from the mountain SHOWS. Some of
these systems are quite simple and
inexpensive while others cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. Gasoline en-
gines and centrifugal pumps will
raise the water to home reservoirs
and the acreage watered depends
entirely on the capacity of the
pumping outfit and well. Some
farmers who have been annoyed
with seepage propose to turn that
source of water to account. A
Weld county man has laid a cement
pipe line to the highest part of
his land and will turn a good head
of seepage water into a business
roposition.-Field and Farm.
The state land board is enjoying
another mixup over the Montezuma
county oil lands lease. Sometime
ago a lease was granted to Fred C.
Davey and he was given the alter
nate sections of a strip of land in
that county. The terms of the
lease were dictated by the board
of control of the agricultural col
lege which controls the land. The
terms were against the judgment of
members Burwell and jefferson of
the board. Now comes man by
the name of George Sherr, who
wants to lease the other alternate
forties and who also wants to lease
string of forties on the outside
of the Davey lease. Burwell and
jefferson declined to grant him a
lease and even refused him the
privilege of filing his application tc
lease. Heating wants to grant him
the lease and at least wants to let
him have the privilege of filing the
application. The entire matter is
the subject of another row and land
board controversy.

cient historical interest 20 warrant

says that similar steps have been
taken in other cities. A stone

his life last winter.
Seasickness is due not TO the
things you eat but to your ears. This
is the information brought by DR..
Julius Auerbach. eye, ear and throat
specialist. who has just returned
after a special course of nine months
at the University of Vienna. 1T
seems extraordinary said DR.
Auerbach, but the proof is over
whelming. The discovery was made
four months ago by DR.. Alexande Ell
| Polikinik. one of the most eminent
professors of the University of
Vienna. He has proved by innum-
cradle experiments that the disease
is caused by irritation of the semi
circular canals of the inner ear. 1t

aboard ship causes this irritation
but ii will be found doubtless"
