The Religious Orders and Their
Work
The animus of the recent campaign
of SANDER waged by the Combine"
against the Religious Orders is
evident when we consider that in
Belgium, as elsewhere, the burden of
charitable work is borne by the Re-
ligious Orders. Thus, for instance,
the Brothers of Charity direct nine
asylums for the insane with $500
inmates; six hospitals for crippled
children with 1,180 inmates; four in
situations with 361 deaf mutes
and 100 blind persons; four homes
with $40 old people; forty-four schools
for abandoned children with $4,000
pupils. The Sisters of Charity take
care of 1924 insane people, tend 1880
sick and teach 1887 children in their
schools and orphanages In this
enumeration no mention is made of
numberless other hospitals, orphan
ages, and charitable institutions con-
Quoted by members of religious orders
of both sexes. In the matter of edu-
cation alone the Catholics of Belgium
have saved the treasury 3,04O, 100000
francs since 1880 by their educational
institutions of all kinds.
But with all that, it was against
these communities of holy men and
women that the Combine" ragged
and poured out it's vilest SANDER! No
wonder the good sense and religious
instincts of the people of Belgium
were found on the side of right Cath
Ole Belgium chose the better part
when it showed more emphatically
than ever before that it did not want
to have anything to do with the
Combine. 1t has shown it's con-
fidence in the Catholic Party as the
exponent and defender of religion,
authority and liberty and the pro-
moter of public welfare; and the
record of that Government for more
than quarter of a century shows
that this confidence is not misplaced.
God bless little Belgium!

POTATO DISEASE

G. l.. Fitch, potato expert of the
agricultural college today an
nounced that he had discovered d
the cause which produced fusar-
ium in potato plants. The fusar-
ium is germ which infests potato
plants and which caused loss Of
over 800, 100000 to the potato crop
in the United States last year
Professor Fitch says that the
result comes from a temperature
of the soil together with certain
amount of excess moisture. He
says that to eliminate either the
excess temperature or the excess
moisture will kill the germ. The
discovery will prove to be one Of
the greatest of chemical discover
les this decade if the professors
conclusions are proved true.

A LOAN SHARK

Fifteen years ago, we learned from
The Survey, of Chicago wom-
an whose husband earned sixty
dollars month who borrowed S25
dollars to buy her son suit of
clothes. She didn't wish her
husband to know of it, and told
the loan shark SO. Playing upon
her dread of exposure, the shark
employed the well-known arts of
his trade to nurse the loan along,
adding another layer of usury
whenever the woman and her son
seemed on the point of extinguish-
ing it. At the sharks death,
not long ago, he had collected five
hundred dollars from his victims
and the loan was still alive.-Ex.
Judge Dakan of Longmont, a
candidate for district Judge, an
nounces that he favors the recall
of judges, saying that the idea of
impeachment is futile and fatuous.
He says the recall will purge the
judiciary.
In his speech at Philadelphia
Wednesday Colonel Roosevelt de-
clared that this country would not
be good place to live in "if we
permit our government to be
twisted away from its original pur-
poses and to become government
such as Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Choate, Mr..
Lorimer, Mr.. Milburn, Mr.. PEN
rose, Mr.. Guggenheim and their
allies wish to make it-a govern
ment by corporation attorneys on
the bench and off the bench"

who feared the drainage water
would injure their soil. To avoid
giving ground to these fears the
Sylvesters purchased land three
miles east of the town of Hooper
and will themselves use the water
from their drainage canals for irri-
eating these lands, flooding again
to prevent injury from possible
seepage.
Water Scientifically Applied
Five miles north of the Sylvester
property in Saguache county lies
the large drainage district now in
course of reclamation by the Glib
son Land Company of Boston.
Here, in virgin soil never yet crop
ped, great Austin dredge is busy
excavating canals which will pro-
vide drainage for several thousand
acres belonging to them.
With this dredge-a machine
costing installed about 10000
canals six feet in depth are being
constructed at the rate of about
200 yards of ditch per day. Five
men are required to run the ma
chine and two shifts of 10 hours
each will remove 1900 cubic yards
each twenty four hours. With this
machine and force of men the cost
OF excavating averages about $500
per mile. At first thought it would
seem to the unsophisticated layman
worse than useless to use the water
from these drains for the irrigation
of new land, but chemical tests
show that the alkaline solution in
this water is lower than might
be expected, and above all, expert
ence has proved that it is not so
much the quantity of alkali in
volved which forms the chief prob
lem as it is to irrigate from the
surface downward, keeping the soil
below the point of saturation and
thus prevent the formation of de-
posits on the surface. When this
simple rule is observed, compar-
atively high solution of alkali can
be used without harm.
Old Section Brought Forward
This, then, is the new program
for those considerable sections of
land lying within the danger area
of the San Luis Valley. While
there are thousands of acres of
land lying within the zone of safety
that will never need any drainage
system and will ever constitute a
sure source of wealth to the Val.
ley, there are thousands even more
centrally located that are destined
soon to come again into their own
under the beneticent operation of
this new plan.

! "Let well Enough Alone. .

LET well enough alone" exclaims
President Taft, and the whole pack
of stand-patters and those who are
fattening on governmental favorit-
ism yelp in unison. Let well
enough alone" is always the cry OF
the selfish. Well enough is never
really true and in the present case
it is glaring mendacity. A tariff
which enriches few at the expense
of many is not we'll enough. 1t is
indeed highway robbery to tax food
stuffs and other necessities of life
so that prices are put on them al
most out of the reach of the poor.
When the high protective tariff
enables trusts and manufacturers %
sell meats, machines and other ar
ticles at lower price in Europe
than they do at home it is not well
enough Nor is it well enough when
the protected industries pay their
employees pauper wages while fat
tening on their labor There is moth
ing we'll enough about the. Aldrich
Tariff law. When Democratic Con-
gress backed by a Democratic Presi-
dent reduces it in the interest Of
the consumer it will be well enough
That time seems near at hand. The
common people have a chance to be
heard. Let every Democrat and 9TH
er patriotic man do his duty and
when the people get their innings
it will be time enough to cry Let
well enough alone"

endeavoring to educate the children.
1t costs parents nothing to send
their children to the public schools,
but ignorance costs the people much

POLITICAL FACTS.
Matters Of Interest to Every Citizen Of
This ConntIy.
Put No Confidence in Calamity
HoWIs.

HOWlS.
The Republican Campaign Com
mittee his issued a calamity howl
which tries to prove that the cleo
ton of Cleveland caused the panic
of 1893 and the consequent hard
times which followed. or course this
statement is false. Legislation by
the Republicans which required the
purchase of large amount of silver
each month and other equally as
bad, together with a faulty financial
system. caused the upheavel which
Cleveland was powerless to prevent.
Arguing from such untenable
grounds. we suppose this aggrega-
tion will charge the panic of 1907
to the Democrats although Roosevelt
was President and the Republicans
were in control of every branch OF
the government. Then, as before, II
was bad legislation and an archaic
banking and currency system which
were responsible.
The country Is at present enjoy
ing unparalleled prosperity in spite
of, not because, of Republican ad-
ministrative policies. A gracious
Providence has given the husband
man great return for his labor. The
gold production is $96,S90,000 this
year, larger than ever before in the
history Of the country, save in one
year only. and the abundant diffus-
ion of prosperity thereby caused has
put the whole machinery of business
in motion.
1t is just as reasonable to claim
that the rains and the seasonable
weather are due to Republican rule
as that it is responsible for the
present prosperity. The high pro
tective tariff would have produced
another panic but for these natural
causes. The calamity howlers art
only howling for another chance q
the bone.

Democratic Program.

To reduce first the tariff on the
necessities of life, put it higher on
luxuries, repeal it on all articles
sold cheaper abroad than at home,
with a gradual reduction of the
whole list to revenue only basis Is
the program Of the Democratic
party as promulgated ia Baltimore.
Such a program ought to, and does,
appeal to every man to whom the
increased price of food and clothing
is an appealing fact. The Republican
plan of forcing people to pay more
taxes than are necessary for an
economically administered govern
ment is a crime which admits OF no
defense since the tax on many mr.
ticles enables the trusts to put up
prices and extort money from the
people and pay little to the support
of the government.
The tariff is the paramount issue
of the campaign and upon their
promises with regard to it the DEM
ocrats are riding to certain victory.

RalIying To wilson.

Democracy made notable gain
when United States Senator Works,
of California, few days ago declar-
ed for Wilson and called ON all his
friends to do likewise. He has all
ways been wheelhorse Republican,
with his leaning recently for Pro-
gressiyeness. and might have sup
ported Roosevelt but for the fraud
ulent manner in which his electors
in California were obtained, though
he does not regard Roosevelt as a
real Progressive. being animated
more by ambition aud malice than a
desire to secure Progressive legis-:
lation for the country. With Wilson
as the only real Progressive the
only course for honest Republicans,
who are Progressives, to pursue is
to vote for the Democratic nominee.
The Wilson National Progressive
League is daily receiving notable ac-
cessions. The number now exceeds
$4,000 and it has headquarters in
all the large cities. The whole
trend of the country is toward DEM

MIR. sTEwARr's SPEECH.

Hon. ]. w. NJ. Stewart, of Ash
land, Democratic presidential cleo
tor for this district, spoke at the
court house in Louisa last Monday
to large audience. He was given
most attentive hearing and spoke
an hour and forty-five minutes.
The speech was fair to all parties,
full OF logic, and SO clear that
everyone in the audience understood
every point. The tariff and the
trusts were the chief subjects dis
oussed. Indisputable facts and their
relation to the people present
brought these two greatest Issues
home TO the audience in way that
was extremely convincing. The
speech was full of meat" from
start to finish. There was no abuse.
Mr.. Stewards reference to the
great ability OF Woodrow Wilson
and his power as public speaker
was an interesting statement to
many. He attended big dinner on
Jackson's Day in Washington last
January and heard Mr.. Wilson's ad-
dress. along with the greatest ora
tors OF the country, Mr.. Bryan In
cluded. Mr.. Stewart declares that
from every observation-disclosures
substance, oratory-it was the great
est speech he has ever heard. Mr..
Stewart went to that dinner favor
ing the nomination OF one OF the
other candidates for the presidential
nomination, but came away with a
different feeling and with the real
ization that Wilson is one of the
country's greatest men.
Mr.. Stewards audience was large
lly composed OF country people. and
it was the largest gathering that has
been out TO hear political speech
ct Louisa this year.
