MORE ABOUT YOUR WATER RIGHT

Every day demonstrates more
forcibly the necessity for those own
ing unimproved land getting the
same into cultivation if they wish
to hold their wafer rights. The fol-
lowing report of IA recent Supreme

the beneficial use of water.

to this enterprise and point out that
twenty-five millions of dollars spent
here in reclamation of arid lands

Of Mr.. Taft, would ever live in the

the spot where he afterwards lived;
how hc had the courage To take a

and up on the other, but when !
saw IL il result of that experience
hc had interested himself in the
reclamation of these large areas and
how he had been the driving power
behind these projects that had re-
suited in the bringing of 50 many
people to take up homes here, felt
that if the bible measure of great =

MIR. Bryan paid high tribute to
the average of intelligence that was

Prominent in Kentucky Affairs.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 1O.-Gover-
nor Woodrow Wilson cypounded his
views of Democracy to the Kentucky
Legislature Friday afternoon giving
what he termed "a straight Demo
cratic talk"
Late Friday night he spoke at a
banquet given at the Woodrow Will
sou Association of Kentucky at the
Capitol Hotel.
Early in his speech before the
Legislature Governor Wilson brought
out his idea of the System of trus.
teeship," which, he said, grew out of
the power welded by the big inter
ests in the political world by "men
who could not see farther than
across the directors table.
Charging that representative Of
fceholders were guided by these men
he said Government virtually resolv-
ed itself into trusteeship.
"These men consider themselves
guardians Of the country" he said
"They don't believe the judgment OF
the people is sound, hence the guard
ianship. At times it is necessary
in furthering these interests to
prompt artificial prosperity or its
reverse. We should not be afraid
Of threats of the reverse, but combat

NOTHING IS KNOWN
OF MORSE'S PLANS
Report is Current That He viii Sail
For Germany at Once, But Cannot
Be Verified.

New York, Feb. 10.-Not a word
could be obtained Friday in the
apartments in West Fifty eighth
street, where Charles W. Morse, the
pardoned convict banker, is recup-
Grating. Reports were current that
Morse would sail for Germany at
once, but these could not be verified.
Morse come back Thursday night
to the scene of his former triumphs
and his conviction, crumpled up in a
wheel chair, silent and impressive as
a lay figure. With his wkite-faced
wife at his side, he was pushed
through the curious throngs at the
Pennsylvania station, lifted quickly
into a taxicab and whisked away to
his home to remain for week or ten
days before starting for Bad Nau-
helm, Germany, where he hopes to
recover his health, which physicians
say prison life has shattered.
If Morse felt any emotion at his
home coming he did not show it. Not
once did he open his lips during the
progress of the wheel chair from the
train to the taxicab. He did not even
raise his head, but sat with hands
limp on the chair arms. Thus he
passed stolidly through the crowd, a
fur-trimmed overcOat collar partly
partly shielding his face.

WORKHOUSE FOR
HONEST MEN
Suggested in Cincinnati, The Idea
Growing Out of Recent "Hobo
Convection" Z al

Cincinnati, o.. Feb. 1O.-A work
house for honest men is planned by
Cincinnati social workers, who will
meet sOcn to discuss the project. Tie
honest mans wOrkhOuse idea grew
out of the ''hobo convention" and j,
is believed, offers solution to the
problem of the unemployed in Gin
cinnati.
Is there an unemployed problem In
Cincinnati? you ask.
Answer-Read this:
Charles Sturr. proprietor of the
Glencoe Hotel. advertised for one
plumbers assistant.
Three hundred men applied for the
one job.
1t is planned that the new work
house shall be municipality conducted.
Under one roof, if the plan is
worked out, there will be housed a
large factory, with many depart
ments of industry. The institutions
will not be conducted for profit, and
the surplus will be applied to in
creasing the wage scale.
Jobs will be given under the plan
to men who are out of work and
have made honest but futile efforts
to get other jobs.
The workshop established for the
blind last year is an example, in
miniature, of the honest mans work
house idea, except that, as it is
planned, the latter will be munici-
pal enterprise, without suggestion Of
charity.

ject are Rev. Boyd Edwards. Rev.
