CROWDS WAIT FOR THE
HEALING OF SICK AT LOURDES

torchlight procession from the square
in front of the chapel of the Rosary,
by way of the great semi-circular Via
duct Of Arches, and around the garden.
The night was dull and lowering, with
an e~Ver-present threat Of rain. The
pilgrims first gathered in front of the
chapel, each of them carrying a long
wax taper. They were led by the
clergy, chanting as they walked. The
door Of the Basilica, the lesser doors at
the lower end Of the viaduct, and the
statue of the Virgin in the great
square, were Illuminated by a multi
tude Of electric lamps. Above, the
castle toWered-a black mass against
the sky. The procession descended to
the square; that chant died away.
Around the great statue of the Vir-
gin worshipers were whispering their
evening prayers. The statue-a blaze
of light in its little garden Of roses
stood benign and kindly.
This morning the Pilgrims Mass
was celebrated at the little chapel
in the grotto where the miraculous
appearance Of the Virgin is believed
to have taken place, and where there
is now displayed the strangest collec-
ton Of crutches, l~og-irons, and STATS
which it is possible to imagine. I
noticed among these offerings a long
pig-tail of human hair decorated with
ribbons. A very large number of Eng
lish people attended. One felt i'm
mediately a thrill on this the great
day of the pilgrimage, and realized al
ready that every thought was directed
to the ceremony in the afternoon, to
the supreme moment when the Sacra-
ment would be borne down the long
lines Of waiting sick and the blessing
of the church bestowed.
Towards midday, while the sick were
being carried back to the hospital,
friends and relatives trod once again
the Via Dolorosa to the hills. On each
Of the stations a short address was
delivered by the priest. and every few

the legend has it, the stone was that
upon which Jacob rested his head at
Bethel, and it was carried by Pha-
roah's daughter, whose heart Moses

was borne to Ireland, and then to

The Scottish King Kenneth took it

off to his shrine at Westminster.

London Times: The second day Of
the pilgrimage is necessarily quieter
TINA the first. I assembled this morn
ing the Via D~olorosa-the pathway
which has been constructed on the
wooded hillside that rises on the left
Of the BasiIica. BY it's side at brief
intervals have been erected tableaux
representing the fourteen stopping
places on the Way of the. Cross. At
each pilgrims were kneeling in quiet
prayer. On the crest of the hill where
the crucifixion is depicted with start
ling realism men and women knelt
side by side in large numbers, plead
ing silently for their sick friends far
below in the hospital of the grotto.
The physician attached to the grotto,
with whom I had a talk today, told
me that he makes a point of investi-
eating personally every miracle which
takes place at the shrine. The sick
bring with them as far as possible
medical certificates stating the nature,
duration and extent Of the diseases
from which they suffer. They are ex-
amined on arrival and advised as to
whether or not they are well enough to
undergo immersion.
Benefit and Cure.
1t Is interesting to note that many
Of those who nave received great
benefit have not been immersed in the
pool. With the present pilgrimage are
Irishmen, Scotsmen and even a few
from the colonies. Many Of these
have been to Lourdes before. Several
of them have returned to give thanks
for cures wrought upon them since
their last visit. They date the begin
ming Of their recovery from them. !

Maternal tor eraveIed Roads.

and consequently unservicable. To
make satisfactory graveled road us
ually from 75 TO so per cent of the
material should be clean gravel and
from 20 TO 90 per cent of it should be
sand or loan.
II gravel runs unevenly in the pit
II should be screened and then mixed
with the sand in the correct proper
tions.
The amount of sand and loan added
should be just enough to fill the voids
in the stone and the less it takes to
do this the better the gravel is for
road purposes.-E. B. House, Colorado

OF GRAIN
STUBBIE AFTER HARVEST

Land in growing small grain is well
shaded This shading with the pro
lection furnished by the crop from
winds, amounts in practice to a very
effectual mulch so that loss OF water
from the soil from direct evapoation
is almost reduced to a minimum.
The only loss is the amount taken
up by the plants. When the grain is
harvested the soil is left in condition
TO lose water from two sources. First
and most important is the loss Of
water through the growth of weeds !;
second. on the heavier soils there is
some loss by evaporation from the sur
face which causes contraction of the
soil followed by more or less severe
cracking. This permits the air to pen
citrate farther and thusdry tut the soil
to a considerable depth. Weeds, how
ever. are usually the most severe
source of loss at this period
To check the losses which occur
from these causes it is only necessary
to stir the surface of the land with a
disk harrow, double disking the lap
ping half, or the use of some of the
heavier spring tooth harrows or cul-
tivators Anything in fact that will
thoroughly stir the surface and kill
the weeds will effect the purpose.
These processes not only kill the
weeds and prevent cracking. but they
also protect the tilth of the soil so
that plowing can be done more leis-
urely with the soil in better physical
condition.-Alv;n Keyser, Agronomist,

Newman Erb.-The naturalization
OF the railroads is now as sure as
taxes. The government will take hold
OF the railroads and operate them.
The actual owners no longer control
the roads for they are practically in
the hands of the banks. and their man
agement is purely financial. WI at
the banks want and what the country
needs constitute the problems nov and
II may be that the country will force
the solution in behalf of itself. One
can hardly imagine which would be
the greater in this event. the political
or the social change. Certainly there
Will be many fears TO allay before the
change will be accepted as safe re-
suit. The idea of government owned
railroads may be comfortable aft sr
a while, but it is not so at present

E. S. Bayard.-Estimates of the
value of farm crops in this bounteous
year are pure guess-work. The crops
have not been marketed yet and no.
body knows how much they will return
to the producer. Yet the interests are
already feeding farmers taffy about
the wonderful increase in their riches.
There IS no sense in exagerating eth
er their size or their value. Farmers
are prospering more than they did
back in the nineties. when their pro
ducts sold below the cost OF produc-
ton. but they are not getting extra
ordinary returns for the capital, skill
and energy they have invested in
their business. All bountiful harvests
mean additions to the country's wealth
but they do not mean sudden riches
for any class. Agriculture enriches
gradually the nation and those who
pursue it wisely.

We, the Republicans of Colorado, i'll
Assembly convened, renew our alleg-
mace to the Repu blican party and its
principles; and more especially We
| declare as follows:
We fully recognize and uphold the
right of wageworkers to organize and
unionize for their mutual protection
and betterment. and to use every fair.
reasonable and lawful means to accom-
plish these ends; but we condemn
those who have resorted to arms and
physical force in an effort to compel
compliance with their demands, and
brand their resistance to the consti-
tuted authorities of this State as
treason.
The Republican party demands the
nomination of such men for office as
are consistently in favor of the en-
forcement of the law and the main
Itenance of order, and who have the
courage to stand for law and order
at all times and under all circum-
stances. and for the. full protection OF
life, liberty and property.
We favor the adequate protection
of the industries and resources of our
farms, mines and ranges, including the
beet sugar industry and the waters of
the State; and we denounce the sen
ators and representatives from Colo
rado who assisted in removing the
tariff on sugar, thereby destroying
the greatest manufacturing interest in
the State and depreciating the value
OF our agricultural lands.
We are in favor of legislation which
viii encourage the largest possible de-
velopment of the dry lands of Colo
rado
We demand a fair and impartial as
sessment OF property for taxation. to
the end that all shall bear their pro-
per snare of government expenses.
We believe that the same care and
economy should be used in carrying
or the business of the people as in
private business. and We condemn the
Democratic party's wasteful extrava-
earce in the conduct Of the States
affairs and the creation. of expensive
an useless boards and offices for the
purpose of furnishing Jobs for polit-
/ ical workers. The last Republican
state administration left a surplus in
the treasury Of three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, while six years
of Democracy has resulted in large
deficit and an impaired State credit,
and We pledge our candidates TO the
utmost economy in the management
of the States business.
on these principles we ask the sup

Marshall p. Dewolfe-It gives me
papers that Mr. So-and-so is a candi-
date for such-and-such an office, that
he belongs to such-and-such a secret
order and such-and-such church.
What the devil difference does it
make what order or church he belongs
to, or if he belongs to any? His be-
longing does not guarantee either his
honesty or efficiency. If a man can
not win on his own merits, regardless
of lodge or church, he has no business

Hope for Plaza Condemnation Victims.

A majority of the members of the House of Rep
resentatives should be familiar by this time with the
circumstances connected with the Plaza condemna-
ton proceedings They know or should know that
there are in Washington scores of persons whose
homes other property, situated between the Capt.
tol and the Union Station has been taken from them
by the government for improvement, purposes; that
the money to pay for their property appropriated
a year and half ago, and that it has never been
paid to them because the chairman of the District Com
mittee objected to the amount of one of the awards
made to railroad company The property involved
constitutes the entire earthly possessions of many
persons, who deprived of all revenue therefrom, are
in some cases, suffering for want of the actual
saries of life. More than six months ago they made
personal appeal to the President of the United
States for relief but it has not yet been granted to
them They were not asking for charity, but only
that the governuent meet its just obligations.
Today the opportunity will present itself in the
House for the enactment of legislation to authorize
the payment to these longsuering creditors of the
government of the money due them Unless this is
done today, it will mean months more of waiting.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that no member of the
House will place obstacle in the way of legislation
today. The whole matter can be disposed of in two
hours just little longer time than was consumed
by Chairman Johnson in trying to get his salary
without the formaity of certifying to his presence
in the House And this is matter of vital almost
tragic importance, not to one but to many persons
Mr.. johnson himself is said to be willing at last
that the awards shall be adjusted Surely there is no
other member who will nterpose objection to grant
ing long-deferred justice to the Plaza property
owners.
