The Worth While Person.

Certain qualities go to the making
of any human being whom other hui
man beings esteem. Certain ingredi-
ents are as necessary to a man as
flour and yeast to bread or iron and
carbon to steel. You cannot make
them any other way There is a COM
bination of steadiness of purpose,
breadth of mind, kindness, whole
some common sense, justice, perhaps
a flash of humor, certainly capacity
for the task in hands that produces a
worth while person. The combination
occurs in every rank in life. You find
it as often in the kitchen as in the
parlor; oftener, perhaps, in the field
than in the office. The people who
are SO composed have spiritual length,
breadth, thickness; they are people Of
three dimensions. Everybody feels
alike about them.-Atlantic.

party, but it will take larger number
of such to place Colorado in the La
Toilette column that the mere handful
that recently gathered on the western
slope to air their opinions in set
speeches on the quest on of what the
great republican party should do and
how.
Many of the active participants o.
the Montrose meeting were the same
persons who under the active leader
ship of democrat contributed to the
defeat of the republican state ticket
last fall, and are also now active men,
bers of Shafroth's direct legislation
league. They claimed then to be fight
ing only the regular republican organi-
zation in Denver, but the effect of their
fight was detrimental to the republi-
can state ticket and they knew it. They
were then unmasked. and before 1912
rolls around it will be seen, by all who
care to see, that the prime movers in

under any circumstances, and will &C

Like La Toilette. they are fighting for
position, not principle. and the sooner
the republicans of the state, who are,
thoroughly in accord with the present
national adm nstration and their party,
appreciate this very patent fact the
oetter it will be for them and their
party.
1t is the duty of every delegate to
the next republican convention who
does not agree with the organization
as to the principles the party should de
clare for to make himself heard in no
uncerta n terms. Fight out all ques-
tiOns of difference while in convention
assembled and fight vigorously Ex-
actly as was done at the last state con
vention at Colorado Springs, but when
the fight is over it is the duty of every
republican to submit to the will of the
majority, put his shoulder to the wheel,
and fight just as vigorously for the
election of his party's ticket
ANY republican who is now actively
engaged in trying to defeat the re
nomination of Taft is not in accord
with his party and if he proposes to
continue his fight after Taft is nom.
mated, then he should not be permitted
to participate in the councils of the
party, but should be placed where he

convention has been to convene an

the other hand. general committee Of

gathering of representative western
people. Such should be the procedure.
The Public Lands convention will have

fact that it has purposely been strung
over in order to gather and hold a
crowd, using the President as the draw

to manage the auditorium that day and
its management should be in the hands
of bipartisan Colorado citizens.
Whatever may be the result as to
the management OF the building IN
which he speaks, if the president dis
cusses conservation, he will not have
as his audience merely those who are
directly in front of him, but he will
have the people of the entire west.

THE REASON for having the law

THE REASON for having the law
creating the state tax commission Sc
worded as to have Governor Shafroth
and State Treasurer Kenehan appoint
the commission is now apparent. Both
men are from Denver. The railroads
as well as the assessor for the City and
County of Denver demand that the ter
minal values of railroad property in
Denver be given to Denver for taxa
tion purposes rather than distributed
throughout the state. This would
mean the increase of corporate proper
ty value in the city of Denver millions
of dollars and corresponding decrease
of the same throughout the counties
of the state Governor Shafroth and
State Treasurer Kenehan have both
always contended that these values
should be credited for taxation pur-
poses to Denver. With them appoint
ing the commission which is to have
charge of placing these values, they
can have them credited to Denver and
while the law provides that the board
of equalization must approve the find
ings of the commission, the board will
have very little time 10 investigate
those findings and Denver will gain
materially by the change. Thanks to
Governor Shafroth.

THE REAL MOTIVE

The real motive of the so-called re
and turn over to La Toilette the state S
delegation to the next national repub-
lican convention. They may resort n
all the declarations of principles they
please to fool the rank an dfile of the
party in this state, but they cannot
thereby deceive the people into believ-
ing that their fight is not made for one
purpose only, viz, to defeat Taft s re
nomination.
Taft is inmical to some of their no
tions of governmental principles, La
Toilette is not The latter believes, or
feigns to believe, in anything and
everything that might secure for him
not the presidential nomination at the
hands of the coming national conven-
tion, because he knows such a thing is
impossible, but such strength before
that convention as will give him added
national political prominence. If La
Toilette should be nominated all the So
called progressives will be found sup
porting the national republican ticket
loyalty. II Taft should be nominated
which he VIII be, then many of them
will be found either sulking in their
tents or actively supporting his op-
ponent.
This is not true republicanism, but

truly republicans. A Iew disgruntled

cality can make soms trouble for their

A HINT WORTH CONSIDERING


When in Denver about week ago
Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture. in public address at tine
opening of Standley lake declared that
the farmers of Colorado used entirely
too much water in irrigating and in
timated that his department would
hereafter take pans to demonstrate
the truth of that statement to any who
might doubt it.
Now we can almost hear few farm
ers and an occasional editor criticisins
the bureaucratic government at
Washington and ridiculing depart
ment head for 'presuming to tell the
practical farmers of this country how
to run their business. What spleH-
did opening that statement leaves for
the critics who can DO little else but
crticise.
But the truth is, and the farmers
themselves know it, water is being
wasted in this country in inexcusabe
quantities by farmers who should know
that they are wasting the water and
damaging their land Many of them
do know it, but in >their hurry and
their failure to give the matter careful
and studious attention and more be
cause they have fallen into rut, these
people neglect to make the best use vi
the water, with the result that some
one else is deprived of its use and ths
ability to raise crop while the
ing leached away and there is being
brought about a condition of seepag'
which in time will render their Ian,
almost worthless.
The government officials who ahve IN
vestigated the matter well know this
every state official having to do with
irr cation knows it, every man who is
or ever has been water commissioner
knows it, the great majority of farm
ers know it and do not hesitate to ad
NIT it when in a confidential frame
ana we really can see HOJuluS TO pre-
vent Mr.. Wilson knowing what the rest
of us have all known for years.
His remarks are strictly in line with
his official duties and if he can con
vince those who do not admit their
waste of water or those who admit il
but still go on practicing the extrava
gance to their own disadvantage. then
Mr.. Wilson's proposed plan of educa
ton is decidedly in order and like
nearly all of the other work of his de-
partment will result in great good to
the farming industry.
When Mr.. Wilson or any one else
succeeds in convincing the farmers
that they are depending too much on
water and not enough on water and
cultivation, a new era will have been
brought about IN the line of irrigatio i
farming.
