Science and Art.

Science and art are in spirit the
same, and they must be pursued with
the same ardor. The scientist, like
the artist, must be ready to do any
thing and go anywhere to get in touch
with masters in his chosen field. He
must deem no sacrifice or time or
money too great to secure real mas
tery of the technique of his profession.
It is through weakness in technique
that much of our science presents SO
amateurish an appearance.-Richard
G. Maclaurin, in the Atlantic.

New Law Would Aid Farmers.

Meeker.-Should the bill now pend
ing before Congress, providing for the
reduction from five years to three of
the time required by the government
in whivh to prove up on homestead fill
ings, become law, its benefit to this
section will be untold. All over the
Western slope are dry farmers with
large families-poor men without a
dollar except what they earn during
the six months vacation previously
granted them out OF each year-who,
after the five years continual resi-
dence clause went into effect, were
able to retain their holdings only with
the greatest difficulty, and in a num-
Der of instances. suffered want and
privation. Each of these men, under
this new ruling, will be able to take
enough time from his own place to
earn money during the busy season to
carry his family through the rest of
the year, and also help materially in
making improvements or the home
ranch. The new ruling will also in
duce many prospective settlers to take
up land who had been frightened by
the stringency of the measure now in
operation.

beet committee of the Farmers Edu-

Colorado was embodied in resolution
offered before the annual meeting in
the Albany hotel. More than 100 del
egates from the various chapters of
the union throughout the state attend
ed the gathering. which closed follow
ing the election of officers and BAN
quet.
Last September the northern dis
trict board of the union selected a
committee of six, of which three were
sent to Washington to present the
conditions under which Colorado farm
ers raise sugar beets, in relation to
the proposed downward revision of the
tariff.
According to the resolution submit
ted. the committee proved to the sat
isfaction of their hearers in Washing
ton that the average yield per acre
was 1OA tons, and that the average
price paid for the beets is $3.50, and
that this barely allows the beet grow
or to break better than even on his
crops.

reror, Pu vi, abdicated. Three edicts
were issued, the first proclaiming alb.
dication; the second. dealing with the

A reflex of the threatened national
coal strike will go into effect Feb. 20

ers accept the principle of a minimum
wage for all men and boys employed
underground, is seen in notices given
by the blast furnace owners through
out Scotland to their workmen. The
contracts of the workmen are thus ter
minated Feb. 20. The furnace owners
are OF opinion that national coal
strike is inevitable. 1t will affect

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington.-A grave diplomatic
and Colombia has been precipitated by
the publication of a letter which Senior
Pedro Mel Ospina, the Colombian min
lister, has written to Acting Secretary
Huntington Wilson of the State De.
partment, suggesting that it might be
''inopportune" for Secretary Knox to
visit Colombia during his projected
tour of Central America. The Colon
bian minister, first drawing attention
to the fact that the views are his own
and not officially those of his govern
ment. seriously criticises the United
States for not submitting to arbitra-
ton the differences with Colombia,
growing out of this governments ac-
QUESTION of the Panama canal zone.
Inasmuch as the letter admittedly is
the personal expression of the minis
ter, 1t was received at the State De-
partment as a personal insult to this
government. No action has been TAX
en-, but the incident is known to have
stirred officials of the United States to
such an extent that the recall of the
Colombian minister is expected.
1t is believed termination of dip
iomatic relations between this country
and Colombia is in prospect.
Acting Secretary Wilson has ad-
vised Senior Ospina of the probable
itinerary of Secretary Knox. What is
said to have particularly aroused the
Colombian minister was reference to
the Republic of Panama in the timer
airy, country whose independence Co
iombia never has recognized.

Knox makes provision for a stop at
