Editorials by the People.
The Reply Of Christian science.

To the Editor of The Times: A
gentle. kindly old lady OF 76 passed
away today from heart disease Of long
standing. Several months ago she
came here from a small village for the
purpose OF having more care and COM
fort. This was Miss Jane Beal whose
death was paraded In the press OF the
city as Dying without a doctor. as
II Il were a crime, and coroner Is
reported as investigating the case,
We wonder what there was 10 investi-
gate. Is 1t because she died without
having permission from materia medica
that had long since given up the case?
Or was II because number or Chris
tian Science ladies in response 10 the
urgent request OF Miss Beals sister
called upon her, read TO her and cared
for her while the sister was away on
business, or possibly because she had
more faith in going TO sleep with her
hand in Gods hand than in trusting In
human aid that had failed her so often.
Is IL not a sad commentary on the
human kindness of which we read so
much TO see this constant effort for
sensation that invades even the pri-
vacy OF the death chamber? Miss
Sarah Beal told the Christian Science
ladies whom she had asked to come
and stay with her sister $50 they say
that her sister did not have any faith
in doctors any longer, and she would
not insist on calling one.
The question before the public is,
has any one else ever died in Detroit
from heart disease who did have a
doctor, Did the coroner investigate
to see IL any kind friends sent out a
prayer in behalf OF such a person? II
mot. why not?
Is II not time that the press should
respect the feelings of its Christian
Science readers and at least be as I'M
partial with them as with others and
let them die in peace?

CHAPTER XIX.

Strickland for Murder.
The trial OF Tom Strickland had
been relentlessly hurried to the day
OF It's closing by a political prosecu-
ton working through complaisant
judge servile TO machine influence.
From that early moment of the Sc
lection OF jury the truth OF merci-
less haste was In evidence. II was
explained by the court that there was
imperative need for as little delay as
might be possible, the docket being
crowded and many cases remaining TO
be disposed OF during the present
term. The grim fact was that Colonel
Strfckfaud's enemies felt sure OF
conviction and were determined that
the verdict should be rendered In time
TO remove whatever peril of his NOM
ination might still remain.
The evidence scored heavily against
Tom from the start.
There was plainly sounded a note
OF somewhat insolent confidence. al
most like jubilation. in the swift an
nouncement OF the states readiness
for trial. Colonel Bill Strickland. gray
and pinched OF face, recognized its In
slant menace. His closely shut lips
broke their rigid lines piteously, pre-
cisely as they had done when Tom
was brought into court and took his
seat confronting the jury.
At the same moment a swift fash or
anticipated triumph leaped into the
eyes OF old Ephraim Tucker, sitting
with The states counsel Toms father
saw this and his jaws set hard at the
sight.
They're feeling pretty sure OF
conviction" he whispered to Major

avoid this error and the aim Is to put
just enough land under ditch that can
be adequately Watered during the en-
tire irrigating season. This policy is
restoring confidence in irrigation and
will eventually cause the state to be
completely settled with prosperous
farmers
Colorado's annual agricultural out
put is now something more than
$10O,OOO,000. This includes fruit rails
Ing, which, In normal years, aggre-
gates about $70O00OO.
Reliable data shows that the yield
Of an irrigated farm in Colorado Is
more than twice the yield of land in
rain-belt country. 1t Is estimated
that the net returns from well cul-
tivated irrigated farm Is at least 2b
per cent on the valuation Of the farm.
1t is not unusual for Colorado farm
to pay for itself in two or three
years where the farmer couples In
telligence and frugality together. Ap-
proximately 100000 has been ex-
pended In the construction Of irriga-
ton projects in Colorado, The total
value Of Colorado farm lands Is placed
at $360.0O0.000.

For some time experts have recog-
nized that the so-called arid country
in the Rocky mountain region must
some day be made to yield a vast
amount OF agricultural products, but
they also have realized that this
could not be accomplished except by
irrigation.
The soil in that section is rich and
the water supply is-said tp be ample
once it Is properly stored SO as to
assure the farmer Of a continual sup
ply during the growing season. This
Is being accomplished gradually.
Colorado excels all other states in
the amount OF land under irrigation.
The census Of 1910 showed that 4,OOO,-
900 acres we're under ditch, and it
was reported that with the compile
tion OF irrigation projects under way
and in contemplation, the acreage
would be increased to 100000 acres
This is approximately onefourth OF
the arabic area Of the state.
In the past the mistake was made
often of over-estimating the capacity
Of an irrigation project. Time and
