After all is said and done, the real
issue of this campaign is whether the
country is going to have prosperity,
with work and opportunity for every
body. A change from the known
prosperity of the Taft administration
would be a change to the unknown.

Troy in Throes OF Typhoid.

Troy, the halfshire OF Bradford
county, with a population of 1888,
now has 1875 cases of typhoid fever,
and the situation is becoming more
alarming each day. In addition to
the 1875 fully developed cases, there
are a number of cases which have
not been diagnosed as yet. 1t is
feared that the number will reach
200 before all danger is past.

Joseph E Game, of this city, read a

Irrigation development He said in part:
The original reclamation law passed
10 years ago is only a skeleton law, as
all original legislation. 1t is now time

Merger Is Discussed.
The question as 10 whether the 1rr1-
cation congress should merge with
other associations came up again at
today's session and a sharp line of de-
narration was drawn between the
delegates for and against the PROPOSE
ton. The resolution providing for such
a merger is expected to come to a vote
tomorrow.
Vivaldo Coaracy, representing the
Brazilian government at the congress.
presented a resolution looking to a
greater degree of cooperation between
the countries represented at the con-
gresS on an matters relating to irriga-
ton and land reclamation.
Reclamation Act Praised.
Senator George Sutherland, of Utah,
in a brief address, endorsed the work of
the congress and pledged his support.
The NewlandS reclamation act, he de-
clared, was the greatest piece of con-
structive legislation Of the age.
Truman G. Palmer. of New York,
said that the completion of the Panama
canal the expansion of the good roads
movement and the increase of cultivated
areas by irrigation are influences that

Col Roosevelt had made nearly a
score of speeches during the day. and
although hoarse and weary, he talked
for an hour.
In his state, with its heavy interests
in the tobacco industry, Col. Roosevelt
spoke of the American Tobacco com
pany, saying in part:
Our opponents in both the old par
ties have nothing to propose in regard
to the regulation of trusts, except just
what has already been done. They pro-
pose nothing but notifications of the
present system. No such notifications
would change the tobacco trust in a
way which would amount to anything.
My proposal is not to do damage TO
business, but to punish crooked man
ayers of business. Such a showing a
was set forth in the supreme court de-
cision in the trust case should cause
the immediate appointment of a re-
ceiver for that trust. just as would be
done in the case of a national bank"

ply it. to some beneficial purpose And,
upon the question Of damages, under
the more recent decisions of the west
ern states, the tendency is more and
more for the courts to hold that the
right Of a person TO the natural flow
of a stream, is based upon this unsu-
fructuary right only The water must
be actually used in order to sustain
claim to the same. If this is not done,
some subsequent claimant may legally
lay claim TO either the surplus unused
or to the whole amount covered by the
prior claim during the periods of non
use, and for such action, the prior
appropriation or riparian owner, can
not successfully maintain an action
and recover even nominal damages. Be
fore he can recover damages he must
have sustained some actual, material
and substantial injury TO his rights.
and If such rights are not injured, of
course, no recovery can be had

fluence toward greater uniformity Of

Riparian Laws.
But IN the evolution of the law of
the water rights in the western states.
the courts Of those states have con-
siderably changed their attitude upon
the question Of the right of q riparian
proprietor to maintain an action for
an Injunction against the diversion of

the waters of a stream, where such
waters flow mostly over the public
lands and are needed for irrigation,
and where the riparian owner is not
actually applying the water to some
beneficial purpose, and also where he
is not materially injured by the diver
sion Of a certain quantity of the flow
before it reaches his land Upon theory
that all of the existing water supply
should be for actual use in those west
ern states which adhere to the modi-
fled form of the common law, the
courts are now loath to grant equit-
able relief on behalf of a riparian pro-
prietor on account of the mere dimin-
ished flow of a stream, caused by the
diversion of the water above his lands,
without actual material damage to him,
and where the water diverted is ap
piled to some beneficial use of purpose.
And, therefore. it may be regarded as
the settled rule of the most OF the
western states in such cases that the
court will consider all of the equities
of the case: and, without prejudice to
an action for damages, will refuse to
grant injunction.
eve deem the true rule to be that
the lower riparian owner owning a IN
right to the water, seek
ing the injunction must show some
real. material and substantial damgae
to justify court of equity in enjoin-
ing an upper claimant from his actual

NEW ENGLAND DOES LEAD IN

sofa. Taking hay as New Hampshire
product, the contemporary points out
that New Hampshire produces more to
the acre than Iowa, but the land value
in Iowa is nearly six times as great as
in New Hampshire. Coming next to YER
mont, comparison in wheat is made
with Illinois; and it is found that Yer
mont raises % bushels per acre against
illinois IL bushels Still, land value in
Vermont is Sl3 per acre, and in Illinois
it is sos per acre. Likewise, other New
England states show far greater produc-
tivity per acre than western states and
with far less cost for the land.
The lesson which the contemporary in
tends to convey no doubt is that it viii
pay people to come into New England
and raise crops, because they are able
to secure the land at far less money
and at the same time produce far more
per acre than they would be able to pro-
'duce on the same amount of land in the
western section of the country. Of
course, the western states are produc-

be devoted to cultivation than New Eng

greater returns can be secured in Maine |

How the Plague May Enter the United
States

Bubonic plague, the black death" OF
the middle ages, is epidemic in South
America. The danger of the United
States being invaded is by no means
imaginary.
To appreciate how plague might Sc.
cure a foothoh in the eastern portion oil
the United States, it becomes necessary
to consider the trade relations enjoyed
by New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston, Pen,
sacola, Key West and Tampa, in the
order named The sea trade of these
cities is very large, and there is constant
intercourse with Mexico, the Central
American republics, Panama, West In.
dies and the northern and eastern ports
of South America and, in addition, ind.
rect communication with the west coast
of South America through the Isthmus
OF Panama railway. In lesser degree,
the following ports also enjoy trade re-
lations as above described: Gulfport and
Moss Point, Mississippi; Savannah, Nor

New York and Boston.

lean crews, all are possible sources of in
lection.
Plague is threatening the United
States, especially the maritime cities of
the southern and eastern coasts, and the
time for action has arrived. To the
South this warning should be shouted
from every hilltop and go reverberating
through every dale and valley, before
it is too late. Two lengthy articles in
recent issue of The journal of the
American Medical Association discuss
this danger and warn the medical profess
sion of the impending peril.
The plague situation in the American
tropics to-day is alarming. Thus far it
has been given scant attention. The
OF the Panama canal will in
crease the seriousness of the plague stu
alton. To-day every southern port, and
New Orleans and Mobile, are
in close relationship with the lands in
which devastating epidemic diseases, par.
ticularly the plague, are epidemic.

So far as known to the United States
geological survey, the only bismuth-
bearing ore produced in this country dur
ing 1911 was in La Plata county, Colo.
RADIO, which carried 8 to per cent. of
bisputh. This ore, however, was sold
for its gold and silver content. Another
lot of still richer ore was mined from
a claim about 80 miles southwest of
Tulsrosa, New Mexico. The imports in
1911 amounted to 1908 pounds, valued
