Those 75c Apples.

Our neighbor, the Tribune published
a statement last week to the effect
that one of the Dayton flood sufferers
had been compelled to pay 75c for a
box of apples that was included in the
car of stuff sent from Delta.
Grand Junction and other papers at
once enlarged upon the statement,
making it positive.
1t grew out of the fact that in con-
tributing two boxes of apples to go
in the car, W. f. Taylor, of North
Delta, put a card in, asking the party
who received them to let him hear
from them.
Mr.. Taylor last week received a
string of views from Mrs. Nettie JOY.
of 7O2 South Main street, Dayton. On
the margin was written: This Is
where your apples came-cost me 75c.'
Believing that the situation might
not have been fully explained by that
brief note, Independent editor took the
enclosing a stamped and directed en-
velope for her reply.
Yesterday the answer came and was
in substance: 81 bought the apples
from one of the relief parties. ! was
not among the flood sufferers but am
operating a boarding house where we
feed many people. ! sent the views
because ! thought Mr. Taylor might
like to see what our flooded city look
ed like and might also be glad to hear
what the apples brought"

BRITISH AMBASSADOR CON-
PLIMENTS UNITED STATES.

James Bryce, retiring British ambas-
sador and genuine friend and helpful
critic of American institutions. de-
clares that no country has shown
greater powers of overcoming diff
culties than America. The reason is
plain enough. In no other country is
the machinery of government so fitted
to thresh out conflicting opinions and
finally put into effect the deliberate
and intelligent will of the people after
public opinion has once taken definite
form. The plain. clear sense of the
common people has a way of assert
ing itself after the politicians have
exhausted themselves. Most of the
political turmoil is educative and out
of it all the people usually emerge in
command of the situation.

calffornia's Alien Land Bill a Law.

Secretary Bryan has delivered the
reply of the United States to Count
Chinda, Japan's ambassador at Wash
ington, who in return has transmitted
that reply to Toxic. This was done
Immediately upon the signing of the
alien bill by Gov. Johnson.
In view of the understanding be-
tween the two governments regarding
the withholding of the correspond
ence from publicity, none of the Off.
cials at the White house, the state
department or the Japanese embassy
care to indicate the nature of the Jap.
anese objections or of Secretary
Bryan's reply. From other sources,
however. it was gathered that while
the japanese allege technical viola
tions of the treaty of 1911 by the CAL
ifornia law these relate to minor pro-
visions such as that prohibiting Japan
from inheriting property in Califor-
MA.
The real weight of the objection is
against the spirit Of the whole legis-
lation which is regarded as distinct
ly discriminatory against the Japan
ese While it is not alleged that the
treaty in terms prohibits such dis
elimination yet the spirit of the con-
vention as well as the general prin-
ciples of international law are regard
ed by Japan as outraged by this Webb
act. The mere fact that America has
entered into the treaty relations with
Japan is cited as an admission of
equality. In his answer Secretary
Bryan is understood to have recounted
at length the efforts made by the ad-
ministration to guard against an in
fringement fthe treaty rights of the
japanese. Officials here believe this
substantially has been accomplished
through the amendment of the origin
al Webb act and that at any rate, If
the japanese government takes a con-
trary view.

keatins Openly for Free Sugar.

Washington, May 21.-1 have before
me the Rocky Mountain News of Sum-
day, May IL, containing an article by
Senator T. M. Patterson fon why
Free Sugar Would Cripple Colorado's
Great Industry"
when l say that no recent contribu-
ton to the discussion of the sugar
tariff has brought such joy to the
hearts of the hordes of sugar lobbyists
in Washington as this statement from
the pen of the editor of the News.
For weeks these hired men of the
sugar trust have besieged the offices
of Senator Thomas and Shafroth.

enter into a combination with the
sugar senators from Louisiana for the
purpose of blocking the democratic
tariff revision program. Apparently
they received. little or no encourage
ment. in fact, one of the press agents
of the sugar interests publicly an.
nounced that the jig was up" and
that the nderwood bill would go
through the senate without amend
ment. or rather without material am
endment.
Then came the Patterson article and
the sugar lobbyists were filled with a
new life. They evidently regard the
former senator's pronouncement as

Served Him Right

He criticised her puddings and
found fault with her cake.
He wished she'd make such biscuits
as his mother used to make:
She didn't wash the dishes and she
didn't make a stew,
Nor even mend his stockings. as his
mother used to do.
His mother had six children, but by
night her work was done.
His wife was always drudging. and
yet had only one:
His mother always was well dressed.
his wife could do so too.
If she would only manage as his
Mother used to do
All we'll. she wasn't perfect, but she
tried to do her best.
Until at length she thought her time
had come to take rest:

She turned and boxed his ears. as his

DENVER CITY ELECTION
LAST YEAR REFoRMERs BURIED

Denver. May 21.-The results of the
hour tonight appear unchanged from
the indications of the early vote
counts.
1t is practically certain that the fol-
lowing men have been elected:
]. B. Hunter for commissioner of
social welfare.
Alexander Nisbet for commissioner
of public safety.
Otto Thum for commissioner of pro-
perty.
Clair ]. Pitcher for commissioner of
finance.
James F. Markey for auditor.
Markey was the most popular of
the 1874 candidates for he received
more votes than any of the others so
far as the count has progressed. The
final returns will not be compiled for
many hours yet.
The Moffat tunnel proposition has
carried easily and the commission to
look into the drilling of a tunnel un-
der James Peak will be named. The
Burlington terminal franchise carried
with Colfax avenue amendment. The
civil service. health and policeman
pension amendments are running be-
hind.
Arnold, Sullivan. Temple and Nc
Gauran, who swept nearly every pre-
cinct year ago. have been decisively
defeated.
Arnold has announced that he will
not contest the election. This, it is
thought, eliminates litigation.

by the relief committee it may have
been thought better to sell and place
the money in the fund for general re-
lief purposes, and that was matter
OF which they had full control Our
good people did their charitable part
when they donated the goods and de-
livered them for shipment.
The fact that, with one impulse, the
people of the United States responded
to the call for aid for the Ohio suf-
ferers by flood and fire, stands to their
credit, whether what they gave was
greater than was needed or less.
There is no doubt some graft prac-
ticed in all such cases, but if we
should stop giving aid because of that,
the needy would suffer.

A New York lawyer hired colored
chauffeur some time ago. The darky,
who had newly arrived from Virginia,
could run car; but, as developed sub
sequently. he had studied the mechan-
ism of automobiles through the me-
dium of a course of correspondence
lessons by mail. The discovery came
about in the second week of his EN-
ployment in the new job. The car
stalled on lonely Long Island road,
fifteen miles from almost anywhere.
The chauffeur climbed out OF his seat
and got under the car. He spent some
minutes there and then emerged.
"Dey's three different things de mat
