Celebration

According to present plans the Rocky
Ford resident whois not satisfied with
safe and sane Fourth will have to 60
away from home to celebrate. as the city
council at the regular meeting last Friday
evening instructed the city marshal to
notify the merchants and others interested
that the ordinance prohibiting the sale or
burning of fireoraekers or fireworks in
the city will be strictly enforced. No eele-
bration-in the ordinary sense Of the word
will be attempted in Rocky Ford this
year. but the cnautauqua management
has arranged a program for the day that
will satisfy the great majority Of citizens.
Ferrante's Royal Italian Guards Band.
the largest musical organization that has
ever appeared upon a ehautauqua plat
form. will furnish the noise. and Ralph
Parlette. the great American humorist.
will supply the fun and oratory for the
glorious occasion.
The election of city officers was taken
up and the council gave deserved reeog-
nition to the worth of DR.. Barbour as

Other officers chosen to succeed them
selves were City Marshal Craig. Night
Marshal Ripper and City Engineer Dem
son. There were five applications for the
position Of city marshal. but Craig re-
eeived the entire vote Of the council.
The election of an assistant water
commissioner was postponed until the
next meeting.
On motion permission was granted TO
Messrs Scott and Stauffer. to carry
water to their places through the city
lateral. providing they installed proper
division boxes.
The regular monthly grist OF bills were
read and allowed. and this concluded the
more important business.

THE WATER SUIT
And Some Interesting Data Sho wing
What Il Involves.

ana some interesting O0ta SnO Wlu8
What Il Involves.
That the layman in the Arkansas VAL
Icy may have better understanding Of
the figures involved in the Kansas-Colo-
RADIO water suit, the following data is
offered:
There has been appropriated from the
Arkansas river senior to January |.
1884. 1921 second feet. There has been
appropriated junior to that date $3.50
acre feet. The water suit involves the
later amount Of water. or something run
ming about szH per cent Of the total ap-
propriated water Of the entire river. In
tho lower end Of the valley the per cent
is little greater.
However. in giving the figures. there is
no reason TO believe for ono minute that
any danger exists. other than the danger
involved in any suit Of law. It exists for
the reason that there IS suit Any
man can start such a suit regardless OF
the worth Of his claims. and there is
no reason to feel for one minute
that the water conditions in the Arkansas
Valley will not remain as they are. The
suit exists, however, and the Arkansas
Valley Ditch association. aided by the
state. is defending it as a matter Of pol
icy. and taking no chances with the
greatest asset the state has.
Recent decisions in water matters fully
settle all doubt Of any outcome. and it is
said that Kansas residents take the suit
very lightly. and with no reason to be-
lieve that there is anything in it other
than a last chance. The state Of Kan
sas as q state, was fully convinced OF
that in the last suit. and the final deeis-
ion of which was given by JustieeBrswsr
of the United States Supreme court, and
general basing laws are the basis Of all
decisions and the outcome cannot help
5ut be the same. However the suit ex-
lsts and the state and ditch association
are taking the opportunity once and for
all Of settling the much mooted question
Of state rights TO state water, There
fore the appropriation and interest. Much
is involved.

Ship Cattle to Northwest

The Pacific Northwest has come to the
Arkansas valley looking for cattle. A
week ago Saturday night a train load left
the valley for Tacoma, and last Sunday
onother train load left for the same point.
The Carsted Packing Co., the largest
concern Of the kind in the Northwest, has
had a man in the valley for several
weeks buying ca tile. for which he has
beer paying Kansas City prices. The
Northwest is getting short OF fat cattle
so that It has been necessary TO come TO
this section to supply the demand.

Anent the burglary College.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star.
A sheriff in California has made the
announcement that he is in possession
of information pointing to a school of
burglary which is in operation in In
diana. This sheriff is taking steps to
run down the institution,
This is indeed interesting information,
1t but proves that this is the g OF
specializing; the age in which all things
are reduced to a science, and the age
wherein even burglars are taught their
profession in a systematic way.
What does this mean? Who is to
blame? Does it not seem that society
is to be arraigned for this state OF
affairs? Does it not seem that a man
intelligent enough to learn the mechan-
ism of a safe is intelligent enough to
learn any other profession, and that
he would be willing to do SO If given
the opportunity? 1t seems to me that
the burglar who takes a correspon-
dence course figures that he need not
take - entrance examination before
taking up the study. Often a man
willing to go to college has not the
preliminary training and cannot enter
the colleges of good standing. A man
can always enter the College of Bur-
glary whether he has a high school
education or not.
1t also seems that burglary pays and
is as honorable as the course pursued
by some men of standing in the COM
munity.
To deliberately enter upon a profess
sion that is illegal and dishonorable
does not seem natural. 1t would be
c-ommendable in anybody to first make
an effort to earn an honest living. But
who is to tell us that the students Of
this school have not made repeated
attempts to do the right thing and
failed2 j. e. r.

For Auto Truck Owners.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
| wish to call the attention of auto
mobile truck owners to a little incl
dent 1 witnessed on Bloomfield avenue
yesterday and which l believe will lead
to a serious accident some day. The
auto truck was coming down Bloom
field avenue on the car tracks directly
in front of a car. The motorman sound
ed his bell half a dozen times but the
truck refused to give the car the light
of way. There were two men on the
seat and one turned around and mock
ingly laughed at the motorman. The
car. of course, was compelled to slow
down while the truck kept on its way.
| wish to state, too, that the road was
in very fine condition, and there was
absolutely no excuse for the driver
to persist in keeping the car back.
Some day a motorman will accidentally
bump into one of these trucks and there
may be loss of life. Let every driver
of a truck be reasonable and get out
of the way of the cars, fo.' the patrons
of the road when riding are generally
on some errand and 'ish to get TO
their destination as quickly as posi-

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
On the boards of one of the local
theatres this week there is a morality
play. the point of which is that if
everybody follows work and honesty
fortune will come to him. What a
beautiful conceit; and how pitiful that
this is not true.
The newspapers are full of the legal
fight being made by the beef barons
to keep out of jail. They have been
indicted to please a dissatisfied public,
but everyone knows that the indict-
ment will blow up in smoke. as did the
$29, 900, 900 fine of the Standard OIL Com
pany.
My point is this: Did the beef barons
stick to honesty and work to become
rich or did they stick to trickery and
good lawyers? Morality plays and lee
lures are a good thing in the kinder
garten, but are a little hard to swal-
low by the intelligent person.

THE NEW COUNTY BOARD.

TT \ voting TO adopt the legislative act for a small Board of Free
holders the people of Essex county signifed a purpose to have
a radical change in the methods of county government. They
had endured disagreement for years under the old board, and
their desire was to get a small business board, removed as far as
possible from partisan politics and ward and township influences.
They elected a Republican board to carry out their purpose. VIII
this board fulfil the public expectations? Already there are signs
to indicate ID renewal of practises of the old board. 1t has been
felt that The new board should not be hampeIed by the civil service
law in making changes in the personnel of the county government,
but in view of the temptation to abuse the unrestricted power of
official patronage it may be we'll that the civil service law stands
in the way of wholesale removals and appointments to reward or
punish. The new board has a record to make, and if it starts out
ile from that reproach the beard will have the generous conf
5ence of the public.

THE TIGER AND TIE BULLDOG.

STTA OMORROW will be the day and Yale Field the arena. In
fierce, though friendly, grapple the tiger and the bulldog
will meet, and TO Princeton men it will be the climax of
he football season, while the sons OF Eli will have yet to face
tIe breed of John Harvard of Cambridge. Football has been
advanced of late years from a contest of brute bulk and strength
TO one of shrewd headwork and det footwork, and its uncertain
ties are also greater, all of which makes the game more interesting.
Princeton has beaten Harvard. If Princeton defeats Yale tomor
row and Harvard does likewise a week later the primacy of the
Orange and Black will be undisputed. If Yale wins both games
the same may be said of the Blue. But if Yale beats Princeton and
then loses to Harvard, whom Princeton defeated, it will be difficult
10 designate Il champion of the three.

A R0OSEVELTIAN ATTACK ON TAFT.

IN FTER remaining silent on administration policies since he
returned from Africa, although there were occasions when
he was expected to express himself, Theodore Roosevelt has
now come out strongly and emphatically against the Taft policy
in regard to the trusts. He assails the attitude of the administra-
ton in its futile prosecutions and fatfootedly contradicts Presl-
dent Taft's statement that the Sherman act as interpreted by the
Supreme Court needs no revision. Mr.. Taft has his troubles with
the Progressives and with Congress, and has hoped to surmount
them. But at a critical time, on the eve OF the session OF Congress,
he gets this blast from Oyster Bay. And now that Roosevelt has
broken silence, other blasts may follow. The setting aside OF the
Rooseveltian conservation policy by Taft is not forgotten, and the
conservation question looms up for the next session. There IS a
distinct menace 10 Tafts denomination in the deliyerance by the
man who brought about his nomination and election in 1908.

DINNER STORIES.


ut was a terrible moment said the
old soldier, with a shudder.
Tell us all about it," cried the squad
Of recruits eagerly.
II was walking along the top Of a
cliff with a chum, when we was sud
denly seized with vertigo. There was
a sheer drop of at least 1000 feet, and
when 1 saw him rec and slip over the
precipice / gave him up for lost. Quick
as lightning l pulled a large horseshoe
magnet out Of my pocket. and, lyins
fiat upon my chest, extended over the
chasna. I could see my friend far be-
low falling rapidly, and turning over
and over. He looked no larger han a
doll; but gradually, as the magnet ex-
erted its influence, his figure became
more distinct, and he rose with a ter
rifle bump. The magnet had attracted
his large steel spurs, and, exerting all
my strength, I held him there for two
hours, till help came"
The manager of a touring company
wired to the proprietor OF a theatre
In a small town where his company
was to appear:
Would like to hold q rehearsal at
your theatre at 3 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. Have your stage-manager,
stage-carpenter, assistant stage-car-
penter, property-man, chief electrician,
and all stage hands present promptly
at that hour"
Three hours later he received the
following reply:

THE AUTO EARLY PAYS FoR ROAD DAMAGE

oTa HE total receipts of The State motor vehicle department for
the year will be about S365O00. The registrations issued
numbered 10000, while the licenses to drivers were $4,000.
Added to these are 1000 motorcycle registrations. Since the first
automobile law was passed the State income has rapidly Increased.
Within five years it will reach half a million dollars or more. All
This money except a fraction used for expenses goes toward road
repairs, but it pays not more than "A quarter of the cost. There is,
however, other wear and tear of the roads besides that from motor
vehicles, while there is also the ordinary damage caused by the
weather and other causes, so that the tax collected from the auto
mobile owner pays approximately for his use of the highways.

DIR. WILEY'.s EFFICIENT ALLY.

XIV EWSPAPER wags by the hundred have had their fun over
AM benzoate of soda. But benzoate itself in food is no joke.
1t is a preservative, and for that very reason hinders diges-
tion. So is arsenic a preservative. DR.. Rusby, associate of DR..
Wiley, the government food expert, is doing well in explaining
points like these TO the people. He also gave a Newark club audi
ence an idea of the difficulties under which the chemistry bureau
1abors when he told them that Congress had failed to make an
appropriation for printing food and drug standards. DR.. Rusby is
an able coadjutor of DR.. Wiley, and the Taft administration escaped
a burning disgrace when it refused TO let Secretary Wilson force
him out.

THE WOODEN AND coTT0N SCHEDULES.

IT'D RESIDENT TAFT'S vetoes of the wooden and cotton schedule
S bills are coming back to plague him. The Tariff Commits
sion which the President in his vetoes held up to be an
authority superior to Congress has reported to the President and
upon its findings he will base his recommendations for reductions
in the schedules. They may be of the same character as the re
auctions he vetoed, in which case Nj. Taft will be in an awkward
position. Or if they do not meet the approval of Congress Mr.. Taft
may have to face the alternative of signing or vetoing bills sub
stantially the same as those he vetoed last spring.

AN ATTACK ON THE COMMERCE COURT.

I is said that enough votes in the Senate have already been
secured for the adjustment of the Commerce Court, which
was instituted a year ago to cut the legal ground from under
the Interstate Commerce Commission and which has performed
that duty withsgreat zeal. The Commerce Court was one of Mr..
Tafts recommendations and was fought through Congress by the
reactionaries, who appear to have selected the judges. If the Sen.
ate passes a repeater the House is sure to do so, and there will
be some sulphurous talk in Congress. But will Mr.. Taft sign a
repeater? And what if be yetoes it?
