tentative draft of the platform says,
that those who honestly intend to
obey the law may have guide for
their actions, and that those who in
tend to violate the law may the more
surely be punished
Practically none OF the planks
asked by Samuel GOmpers in behalf
of the American Federation of Labor
are touched upon in the platform tenta-
lively agreed to.
The Taft men refused to permit the
Roosevelt forces to get any support
from the women of the country that is
denied to them and they have adopted
a plank which puts the party on record
as favoring the decision by the voters
of every state on the question whether
or not they want woman suffrage.
In addition to ignoring the demand
of Samuel Gompers and the other la
Dor leaders that the convention place
the party on recorA as favoring the
prohibition of the use of the injunc-
tiOn in labor cases without full notifi-
cation and hearing both sides, the sub
committee passed up the initiative,
referendum and recall.
The subcommittee also turned down
the proposed endorsement of the Aid

the opposition to the plan under its

COLORADO STILL RISING

river has raised couple of inches
within the last "a hours, but it is sure
ly not more than this.
A large tree was carried against
the pile on the other side of the river
On which one of the cages had been
fixed and broke it off below the pres
ent surface of the river. AS this was
the most reliable of all the cages it's
loss makes it impossible to read the
rise exactly. The driver of the
Picacho stage who came down yester-
day. states that the river had risen
three inches at that place during the
"a hours previous to the time he left
But surely there must be some mis-
take about this. AS the river has
been falling at Needles since Sunday
it can hardly be still rising at
I'lCdcnO.
The levees on both sides of the river
and along the whole length of the val
ley are standing the pressure with no
likelihood of giving away.
There is, OF course, always danger
of the current cutting away the banks

best opportunities to make life in the
summer enjoyable here.
Some people may look on the mo.
ton picture as very tame amusement,
but the fact is that these pictures
have become one of the institutions In
American life, and there is no influ.
ence which on the whole has more
educational uplift than these pictures
and the moral influence of the pictures
is good
With this influence, there is the
sense here of being out in the open
where one drinks in the pleasant
evening air while he is enjoying the
human touches of the melodrama or
is absorbing the instruction which
goes with a wide range of views.
The motion picture in some respects
Is far in advance of the theater
proper It's morals are on higher
level. 1t is better staged than the
theater and the acting is on as high
an artistic level, if not superior It's
educational influence is vastly great
er. The price is so low that the mo-
ton picture is made a feature of the
daily life of men of moderate means.
It tends to draw men from other re-
sorts where the influence is not so
good and wipes out the old excuse that
the working classes
All this is said because there are
those who have not yet formed the
motion picture habit and who do not
realize the pleasant and profitable re.
taxation that is within reach in the
valley towns during these summer
evenings.

for irrigation in this valley.
With 100000 shares or stock in this
company outstanding, this increases
the possible irrigation by $4,000 acres,
making the total 125,00O acres, and
it is believed many farmers will con-
sent to parting a portion of their
stock at the current market price to
add from $4,000 to 10000 acres to the
irrigated area at once.
Within the boundaries of this irriga-

be $4,000 acres of reclaimable land

Bulletin

CHICAGO, June 22.-As further in
dication that the regular Republicans
lave decided to draw the line sharply
between radicalism and conservatism,
and that the party will stand squarely
on the latter issue, the subcommittee
on resolutions Friday wrote into the
temporary draft of the platform
plank denouncing the recall of judges
and recall of judicial decisions, two
of the favorite planks of the Roose-
welt progressives.
When the subcommittee which has
charge of the framing of the 1912 Re-
publican platform went into executive
session at 9 o'clock FRIDAY morning its
members announced that they would
submit the final draft of their efforts
to the full committee some time during
the forenoon. The committeeman
were certain that the platform would
be completed before the credentials
committee reported.
text of the various planks indicated
that it will be marked throughout by
a tone of conservatism, going further
III this direction, in some respects,
than the 1908 document.
The tariff plank, on which Charles
w. Fairbanks Of Indiana and William
Barnes, Jr., of New York have be-
slowed much labor, will promise tariff
revision under President Taft's com
mission plan, the latter being endorsed
as the only sensible scheme of tariff
revision now before the nation.
The trust plank proposes the enact
ment of a law defining how far a bust
ness combination may go without rem
dering itself liable to prosecution un-

PHIL L'ENGLE LEADS
VICTORIOUSATTACK
ON "POSSUMVILLE'

Phil L'Engle, three dead possums and
two live ones Cones" meaning possums)
last night entertained party of friends
at the Brookhaven Country club. The
friends today say they will recover. The
possums, having been digested for sew
eral hours, were unable to make a
statement.
The pursuit of possums being, at best.
predetermined and the pursuers being
persons from the frigid North, who had
CLEANED their knowledge Of the beast
from a dictionary and the Bronx zoo.
Mr.. L'Engle rad the forethought to
have three fat, succulent roamers of
the woods, caught, slain, cooked and
ready to serve with appropriate &C
compartment.
They liked the samples so we'll that
they were willing to venture into the
wilds of Brookhaven after more of the
same brand.
The Brookhaven pack of hound dogs
led the attack on the wild woods. They
proved as competent attackers as the
Bulgars and the Serbs. Two possums
bit the dust and six hounds bit the pos
sums, making the affair pleasant for
pups, persons and-no statement could
be obtained from the possums.
