THE Cecil Democrat is out in an

Editor claims that the opposition to
this scheme comes from those who are
moved by personal or petty economic
reasons" Well, the Editor Oh the
Democrat will find that about go out
OF 100 people in this county belong to
that opposition and are not moved by

our Court House should be enlarged

throwing away the present Court
House and its site (Which sale would
virtually amount toy and subjecting
this county to a new heavy bonded
debt for the purchase OF a new site
and the building OF new Court

fact was amply illustrated when the
subject was agitated a few years ago.

tor that he has been a long while in
getting up to the point OF unfolding
his discouraged suggestions. Mr..
Ash has been State Auditor for good
many years. but only within the last
twelve months has he felt constrained
to cry aloud as to the state OF affairs
in many of our public offices. He
must have known these things long
ago-everybody else knew them. Why
is he only at this late date getting into
the limelight with his suggestions for
reform. 1t looks very much as if the
State Auditor were catching the spirit
OF his chief and patron, the Governor
of the State. What spirit? Why, the
spirit which delights in public parade
about governmental re.orm-but never
begins; we might call it the spirit Of
rejoicing in ponderous platitudes for
public consumption. But the State
Auditor should realize that any at
tempts to rival the Governor along

HOLD BACK THE FRUIT BUDS

back the buds as long a time as it
may be safe to allow he buds to come
to full development.
In this valley, it is suggested, that
limited hay crop could be grown to
advantage between the trees and when
the time was ripe for packing the
ground around the trees with the straw
it could be done with little trouble.
Even sugar beet tops might be used to
advantage as a protection. the chief
end to be attained being a close layer
so that the frost may be held in h.
ground, free from outside influence.
Mr.. Smith, who gave the foregoing
outline of the mulching process, is an
attorney who recently came here from
Omaha, and has established offices in
the Grand Valley bank building. He
has Travelled extensively and has taken
especial interest in fruit raising, so
that he is well equipped for giving the

"Mulchjng" is the word. Do you
get it? Well, put that in your no;e
book and be prepared to try something
new in the way of insuring a fruit
crop any and every year in the Grand
valley.
Mulching, Or straw bedding, is the
system in vogue in Kentucky for hold
ing back the buds from maturing so
rapidly as to be in danger from frost.
The method as outlined by w. G.
Smith, new arrival in this city,
seems to have advantages and to be
well worth consideration by the fruit
growers of the Grand valley.
Where the mulching system is prac-
ticed it is the custom to pile straw,
corn stalks and similar material
around the base of the trees at such a
time of year as will best serve to hold
the frost in the ground and thus re-
tard the development of the buds. 1t
is claimed that such 4 system will hold

A WATER DECISION

In the district court last Friday and
Saturday Judge Shumate heard rath-
er peculiar case. it being hearing on
an application to make absolute con
ditional decree rendered several years
ago in favor of Peter Kearney.
Mrs. Rose A. Clark who has succeed
ed by purchase to Kearney's interests
was the petitioner and asked for an
Habsolute decree for 1856 cubic feet per
minute through the Randall ditch from
Dry creek near Grand Valley.
1t seems from the testimony that
Mrs. Clark has prepared for cropping
s5 acres of land, but due to the OBJ
iections or interference of the re-
spondents, Roy Marling, George Bailey
T. G.. Michaels and others as respond
ents in the hearing, she was prevented
from and never did actually apply the
water to the land.
Judge Shumate held that as against
the respondents it was a natural pre-
sumption that she had applied the
water to beneficial use and he sc
held and made absolute her decree fol
lO2 feet of water instead of 1856 whlct
she asked for and assessed the respond
ents with the costs.

Washing.o on, April li.-Representa-
tive Edward I. Taylor OF Colorado, on
the invitation ci a local woman suf-
frage association. attended meeting
of that body last night with the eN-
pectation of making the customary ad
dress on the beauties of q woman's
vote and the collective grandeur of the

Of the evening" a Jefferson day celebra
tion by few hundred democrats.
1t so happened, however, that the
Coloradoan found whole evening
job shaped up for him and the .Tetfcr,
son day dongs had to be neglected al
together while he remained before the
suffragists and fought Mrs. Gllbcrt F.
Jones, prominent anti-suffragist of
New York.
Mrs. Jones told the assembled ladies'
that things were in bad wa ont in
the regio. where suffrage thrivei. She
declared that the four suffrage states
were absolutely dominated by Nor
mons, that there were $4,000 Mormons
in Colorado and $4,000 in Wyoming,
Half the Colorado divorces, she said,
were caused by political differences be
tween husband and wife. Her hearers
were challenged to show one good law
passed by the western suffrage states
through the influence of the woman
vote.
Congressman Taylor. arose to defend
the fair name of his state and clear
equal suffrage of the stigma cast upon
it by his New York adversary. Taylor
is the soul of gallantry, but he was
plump against the necessity of calling
somebody a fbber and in a parlor at
that.
Taylor gently let the assembly suf-
fragists into the secret that Mrs. Jones
statements were false and added the
word absolutely" just to show he
wasn't scared. He said that Colorado
had only one small colony of Mormops
and that possibly there were not 800
in the state.
AS an attorney Taylor was willing
to assert that the court records of Col
orado would not show divorce cass
which had been initiated through po
litical differences.
Just to show that the influence of
the women was stamped upon legisla
tion in Colorado, he referred to list
Of thirty-two measures now on the

Congressman Taylor returned to his
hotel late in the evening with wilted
collar. He regretted missing the Jef

he had been on hand to head off Mrs,

House Members Of the Sleepy Eighteenth
Finally Wake Up and Agree to Do
Something Besides Draw Pay
THEY CAST LOTS FOR BILLS

| Denver, April 19.-An armistice has
been declared between the platform and
the Speer democrats of the house so far
as special orders are concerned and a
special order calendar has been pre-
pared which recognizes both factions
of democracy and also republicans, and
which will also carry a provision to
adjourn sine die May if the senate
is willing.
| This truce was arranged today after
a series of conferences between Nc
Kenzie for the Speer people, Skinner
for the platform people and Teller for
the republicans. 1t provides special
order calendar which gives the Speer
people sixteen bills, the platform peo-
pie nine bills and the republicans eight
| bills, but with the provision that all
bills placed on the calendar shall be
o. K. d by the committee on rules,
which committee is controlled by the
Speer people.
However. there is an agreement that
the bills that have for their object
the redemption of democracy's plat
form pledges shall be included. The
list will be headed by the Pueblo state
fair bill, as McIntyre's name is still
on the caucus agreement.
Other bills on the calendar will be
the bank guaranty, the registration
bill, the railroad commission, and the
Baxter bill which provides that the
state and county treasurers shall keep
all funds in their hands on deposit at
interest, and that the interest shall go
to the road and school fund of the
county and state.
Today's agreement was not reached
without many vicissitudes and without
both sides telling each other their opin-
ions. In the caucus last night, which
was the first time the two factions OF
democracy had ever been together,
they got their i'll feelings out of their
system. The platform boys threatened
to depose the speaker and the speaker
told them to go to the warm depart
ment of the hereafter and try it.
Each accused the other of being alb
solutely without democratic honor
whatever that means), but like all
democratic conventions in which scraps
occur, they made up after they told
each other how mean they were and
so today, without much ado the lead
ers of both factions met and agreed
upon a division of the spoils. They
also agreed to give the republicans a
look in in order to keep the members
| of that body from holding up legisla-
tion.
