The potato experts who were in
session in Denver last week, will ask
the Legislature for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the establishing in
Greeley of an experimental station to
discover the potato pest that menaces
the crop of Colorado and surround
ing states. The Herald suggests that
Colorado maintains an agricultural
college with experimental stations to
do this kind of work and the experts
connected Herewith should be in
structed to do it. 1t is said ti.at the
Greeley district will plant only about
5000 acres of spuds this year where
as in years past 10000 to $4,000 acres
have been planted. The Herald urges
that something be done to ascertain
the cause of the blight but let the
work fall on the agricultural college
instead of adding another experiment
al state and board of expense.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S CORPORA
TION REFORM LAWS.

The measure introduced at Trenton
at the instance of the next president
are definite, intelligible, drastic and
perfectly indicative of a settled policy
on the part of the most influential
person in the United States. They
Danish all doubts as to the methods
by which Governor Wilson would deal
with the evils by which he has talked
SO much and often so vaguely. These
are projects of law, not rhetorical ut
terances of more or less academic
philosophy. The thrill" of which we
have lately heard finds expression in
the precise terms of statutory Eng

Elihu Root certainly made speech
in the senate the other day to the
liking of the railroad bosses and Eng
land on the side. Root used to be
considered very strong man and a
representative of the people, but he
is detriating, making the cartoons in
the North American depicting the
trusts debating to the politicians,
quite characteristic. But President
Taft, although receding somewhat
from his first plan, will never con-
sent to the plan proposed by Root
Might just as well decide the issue

You came into my life one day,
So like tiny, springtime flower;
And oh, the sweetness of your stay
Has made it seem fleeting hour.
No more against my loving breast,
Now will your little cheek repose;
Leaving to me the sad unrest,
Only my heavenly Father knows.
Thou hast gone to that realm above,
10 dwell with shining angels fair,
There sheltered by the Fathers love
Thy soul is free from every care.
Yes, back to the God who gave it,
Thy sweet little spirit hath flown,
Leaving the world and its sadness,
To thee all unseen and unknown.
Then could we call back our darling,
To paths that lie dim and untrod? ?
No! No! our sad hearts are trusting
The infinite wisdom of God.
To Him will we bring our sorrow,
Casting all our care at His feet;
For He who seeth the sparrow,
Can make human trials prove sweet.
