NO DODGING OF ISSUES
ROOSEVELT SHOULD DROP THE
OLD cATcH-voTE PHRASE.
Thinking Men Never Evade the Vital
Questions and Colonial % Only
Trailer.

I'VE are great Industrial people.
We cannot longer escape facing the
questions that necessarily arise with
the growth of modern industries"
said, Colonel Roosevelt at Springfield.
III.
The same old catch-vote phrases. ID
there thinking man who has any de-
sire to evade the vital questions Of the
hour? Does the ex-president know of
anybody who is lodging the issues
which are before us every hour of ev-
cry day? We could not escape them
II we would.
For score of years the solution
of the problem created by capital and
labor has engaged the highest thought
and best endeavor of some of the
brightest and most disinterested
minds in the country. When Roose-
velt was denouncing Socialists as
enemies Of the government they were
earnestly striving for better under
standing between those who employ
and those who toll. Ten years ago
William Randolph Hearst was advo-
eating the very same principles" for
which the chief Bull Moose says he
himself now stands, and was de-
nounced "as the last word in yellow"
When consistent Progressives were
first aroused to the urgent and exact
ing needs of our complex civilization,
those needs were sneered at. How it
must gall those brave pioneers to
have all the fruits of their patriotic
labors stolen and to hear the larceny
applauded by the throng! Mr.. Roose-
velt Is not leader-a pathfinder. He
Is trailer, but he makes SO much
noise that many otherwise reliable
people regard him as the leader of the
band.

He could not recast the trust or

Pueblo to Denver, great throngs greet
ed Wilson as the leader of the party
the champion of the principles-to de-
liver the nation from the bondage of
bossism and the corrupt political con-
troll of the unseen government.
And when Wilson spoke, no matter
where or upon what particular phase
of the political crisis facing the ma
ton, the crowded halls and auditori-
ums were as silent as classrooms.
The people hung upon every word
that Wilson uttered, and, instead OF
the clamorous applause, which greets
the ordinary candidate, there was the
silence of intense interest, the vitality
of which permeated every recess of the
hall.
Wilson was affected by the intensity
of the attention that was paid him, and
strove his uttermost to drive his
points far home in the minds and
hearts of his audiences.
Royal Welcome in Denver.
In Denver, when Wilson arrived, he
was greeted with unsurpassed enthu-
siasm by thousands of people, who
gathered at the depot and lined the
streets through which the magnificent
parade passed.
At the auditorium fifteen thousand
persons had gathered long before the
hour appointed for Wilson's speech.

the federal government, condemning 1t

The achange of life" is a most
critical period in q woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are moro liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

CHINA PRESENTS
INVITING FIELD

China is at last to become a min
ing country, says the National
Review (Shanghai), which remarks
that the two great peaceful agents.
of civilization are the locomotive
and miners pick. In America,
Australia and Africa the pick pre-
ceded the locomotive, notes the
writer; in China on the contrary,
mining has only recently been de-
reloped. Yet mining promoters
progress in as many ways as
locomotion, he argues. 1t re-
quires scientific skill of a high
order. it brings capital into the
country, and furnishes to home
industries the raw materials which
would other wise have to be i'm
ported. China has long been be-
hind in this field of enterprise, yet
no territory On earth is better en-
dowed with mineral wealth, and
we read:
China possesses a large store
of mineral. Almost every province
in this empire is heavily minerali-
zed and almost involving the use
or application of minerals. Many
millions of gallons of petroleum
are imported annually. and yet
China possesses what may some
day prove to be the most vast oil
fields of the world. She has
recently borrowed some 10000
900 pounds sterling, and yet she
owns gold fields of equal value to
any in history. When we consider
these facts, to say nothing about
any other of the same incidence,
We feel more than justified in
attaching even greater Importance
to the work of the pick in China
than to the use of the locomotive.

winter.
Two reservoir sites have been
selected. One on Hanks Creek
is fine, small one, where a dam,
80 feet high, 100 feet long on the
bottom, will hold $1,000 acre feet
Of water. The other on Mary's
river will need a dam 100 feet
high to store Is, 700 acre feet, and
$50 feet high to hold $4,000 acre
feet.
The record of the U. S. Geodetic
Survey shows that the lowest run
off at Palisade occurred in 1905.
That year, the excess over the COM
bined run off OF North and South
Forks was Sc, 100 acre feet. Assum-
ing that half that excess should be
credited to Mary's river, and
allowing $4,000 acre feet for the
land now under irrigation by the
Nevada Land & Live Stock Co.,
If 100000 acres were being irri-
gated under the system of the
Carey Act Reclamation Association,
needing 10000 acre feet of water
for the season it would be neces.
sary to have $1,000 acre feet of
water stored fl ON previous sea-
sons run off to carry over the year.
AS we need to store 10000 acre
feet each season before irri CATION
commences, the storage capacity
of the reservoirs should be not less
than $4,000 acre feet. They are
SO, 300 acre feet. In allow
ing half the excess to Mary's
River, or 1903 acre feet,-there
would have been 1880 acre feet
to carry Uver;-11, 1850 acre feet
more than would have been
required for the next year.
Taber Creek furnishes another
source of water supply. There is
no good reservoir point along that
stream, but it also rises in a high
mountain. The formation is
different from the head of Mary's
River: large part of the water
sinks into broken limestone
for nation, which retards it's flow,
and 1t comes out Of the mountains
with a more steady flow, that con-
tinues all the year around, and
especially during all the irrigation
season and late in the fall. The
surplus water from this stream
should irrigate at least 1000 acres
of land.
The Assistant State Engineer
examined the project in May,
1911, and said that, in his estima-
ton, there was sufficient water
secured by the Carey Act Reclama-
ton Association to irrigate 40, 900
acres Of land. At his recommends
