RITCHIE AND M'CARTY.

The main job now ahead In ths
fistic parade seems to be the act Of
getting the title holders back into the
ring. 1t doesn't appear that much
urging should be needed to entice the
average pug into an hours work for
which he would receive from $4,000
to $4,000. Yet here we have Messrs.
McCarty and Richie, two champions
or championship claimants twisting
and ducking sideways every time that
someone mentions a battle.
There are any number of fights
under way but the two battlers in
whom the public is showing more in
terest and about whom there is more
doubt as to the amount Of stuff car
ried, are the only two who refuse to
be drawn into any sort of melee.
McCarty might defend his title
against the field although many be-
lievc that Gunboat Smith or Jess Will
lard would have an even chance Of
upsetting him. But there's at least
considerable doubt that Willie Ritehie
will be champion after he finishes
with Joe Rivers, or even any one Of
the three or four best of the lads anx-
tous for crack at his crown.

WOMEN AND THE CRIMINAL
LAW.

Another woman charged with the
murder of her husband has been ac-
quilted by jury in the criminal court.
All told, five women tried on similar
charges have been acquitted in Cook
county within year. Cook county
is not alone; in Paris it is admitted
to be impossible to convict woman
accused of crime of passion, what
ever the evidence. A plea of self
defense uttered by an attractive wom-
an, attractively gowned, usually goes
straight to its mark; it paralyzes
the jurors reason. He ignores the
evidence; he sees only fragile, ap-
pealing figure and instinctively be-
comes what all his training has tend
ed to make him-her protector instead
of her judge. Incapable of disinter-
estedness, he is partisan, with the
fierce, unreasoning partisanship of
sex. Women at large do not thank
him for this false chivalry or think
more highly of his intelligence be-
cause of it. They see him for what
he often is, the dupe of clever wom-
an; and one fancies that some jurors
returning from such trials must have
a very hard time explaining their ac-
tion to their wives.-Chicago Record

THE PHENOMENON.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Quite a phe-
nomenon is in the act of taking place

end club from the year before-is re-

FRUIT GROWERS TROUBLES.

Under the above caption the Grand
Junction News reviews the fruit sit
uation in a sort of pessimistic view,
although it may arouse the people of
that section to the necessity of di-
versified farming. The great blessing
| our people enjoy is diversified crops.
We have not run wild to fruit. Grand
Junction went on the idea that fruit
was the only thing and land sold at
fabulous prices, three and four times
its real value and no thought given
to anything but fruit. Now the real
conditions are dawning. Our people
are all right. They have not over
done the thing. Here is the article
in full:
THE conference of Colorado fruit
growers to consider plan for CEN

ton Tuesday. From the first it was
realized that big job had been out
lined for them and that time must
be taken and that it would be best to
follow the old adage, make haste
slowly" We have much to learn be-
fore we can cooperate successfully.
People can get together on paper
plans but the paper tears with the
first dash of cold water thrown be-
cause of an excess of sectional feel
ing. We are not yet educated up
10 the ideal of cooperative action on
a large scale. If the plan proposed
by the committee can be carried out
and we can get Colorado growers to-
gether on the box. pack and grade it
will be a big step forward. The next
step will be association packing un-

the grade can be guaranteed. 1t will
do little good to advertise until we can

FARMINGTON NOTES.

FARMINGTON, N. M, April g.
The ticket for school directors that
was selected by the Pennington board
Of trade last week was Tuesday ap-
proved by the people at the polls.
Some disgruntled ones placed sec
ond ticket in the field at the last min
ute in hopes of defeating the first
ticket and thereby to discredit the eff
forts of the board of trade.
This is the first specific effort made
by the organization, and now that it
is assured of the support of the peo-
Pile, it augurs well for the success of
the new board of trade.
Provisions are rolling in for the
ficoG suffers in Ohio, and it is hoped
to ship the carload asked for by the
latter part of the week. The several
committees appointed to solicit are
busy and are meeting with ready re-
sponse that was hardly anticipated,
which shows that the Pennington dis
district people are taking more ac-
tive interest in public affairs.
Farmingtonites who have been away
from home during the winter months
are coming in from all points of the
compass, and the town is beginning TO
assume an appearance of spring activ-
ity. The cold weather has held back
fruit buds and many have not yet
commenced to swell, and it is quite
probable that the fruit crop will be
an enormous one.
TIE long cold spell has at last
broken and now the farmers and fruit
growers are all busy preparing their
lands for the coming seasons crops.

THE NATIONS RESPONSE.

The swift response of the whole
nation to the tale of flood and fire
and destitution coming out of the
middle west gives sharp proof Of the
far-reaching appeal Of the great dis
aster.
The blow fell on the men, women
and children of score of Ohio and
Indiana towns. Theirs is the suffer-
ing, the want, the loss. But so close
ly lie the nation bound together By the
ties of kinship and friendship and
travel that the whole country nouns
and sympathizes and springs 10 Of
fer aid. The distances that once made
state boundaries real marks Of di-
vision and cut off east and west and
north and south have largely van
ished. We are all neighbors Of one
another and today's stories Of trial
and courage speak to each and every
American, no matter which state he
calls his home.-New York Tribune.

FOUR TO DIE ON SAME GALLows

-Four men will be hanged from the

Walter Jones and Arnold Gilner
are the two white men slated to lay

THE PREVENTION OF FLOODS.

While the lesson of the awful floods
in the Ohio and Indiana regions is
fresh in mind it is well to consider
the possibility of preventing disas-
trous results from such occurrences,
says the Chicago Record Herald.
The flood is natural calamity
against which man can feebly pro
vide except as he becomes an engi-
neer in the broadest sense. 1t is not
enough to build reservoirs, dams and
levees; there must be truly efficient
and economical building of such
works, which will conserve as well as
preserve. Every gallon of surplus
water that runs to the sea is wasted
unless it is impounded and used to
turn wheels. In flood seasons, toe
much water runs off suddenly, to the
disaster of all dwelling along its
path. To store the surplus water
and use it for power is to utilize
properly mans knowledge of natura
forces.
No flood should be allowed to oc,
cur. The water should be stored anc
released only as it may benefit man
Every town in region liable to flood.
should have warning signals against
flood dangers, as it should have sig
nails against the perils of fire. Th'
weather service ought to be extended
to provide for proper warning'
against floods. All this is perfectl.
feasible and in time it will be accom-
plished. Out of the frightful dis
asters in the Ohio and Indiana re
gions let US draw knowledge and de
wise preventive means.

to a below zero. Fourteen days later

form inspection can be thorough
enough to do that. When we can put
out an absolutely guaranteed grade
and it has been well advertised, there
is little doubt about finding a market
at reasonable price even with this
years congestion. But the sooner We
realize some things the better It will
be for us. And one of the most Inn
portant of these is that the man who
can not grow the very best grades
of fruit must quit the business. It
is exceedingly doubtful as to whether
there will ever be another year when
the second grades of many Of our
varieties will find market to cover
the cost of shipping and preparing for
shipment. The land that will not
produce the best of fruit must be put
to some other use. The man who
cannot take the utmost care must get
into some other line of business. Fruit
culture must submit to the regular
laws of the business world and only
the fittest survive. We can stimu-
late consumption in some degree both
by reducing the cost to the consumer
and by advertising the usefulness and
healthfulness of apples, and other
fruits, but the consumption must be
in accordance with general conditions
and beyond certain point we can
not go. Just so much fruit can be
consumed. When that point in pro-
duction is reached the market will be
glutted. Fruit is a perishable product
and cannot be kept over from season
to season as can cotton or wheat or
corn. 1t must be consumed in given
time or perish.
I'VE ought not to deceive ourselves
by the reported high prices which are
paid for single packages of fruit. II
we do the awakening will be just as
cad as it was to those who bought our
high-priced land on the basis of our
truthful reports of the large returns
from single acres. These high prices
are exceptional and not general. Fruit
is selling generally now in Chicago
almost if not altogether as cheap
as it is in Grand Junction The large
loser this year will be the middleman
who bought last fall and has held his
fruit in cold storage for the rise which
usually comes in the spring. Hard
as has been the condition of the grow
er, the lot of the buyer who took our
fruit off our hands last fall at what
we considered low prices, will be much
harder unless he Immediately unload
ed his purchase. We must figure
the business on different basis than
we have done heretofore. We must
be satisfied with narrower margins
and with the very moderate returns
which can be worked out on what
can be paid by our Gamers and by
those who will dry and preserve. We
must also build up our surrounding
country with its diverse resources to
have consumers of our product and
by-products in our home market"

ROUMANIA'S PRICE.

While the triumph of the Balkan
allies in the present war thrills the
western nations that are free to ad-
mjre the wise statecraft and fine
soldiership displayed by the con-
querors of the Turk, the resultant
distress of dwellers in a certain bor-
der section of Bulgaria is arousing
widespread sympathy. For Roumania
which has had no part in the war
