PRESIDENT AND
BRYAN DECLINE
TO ANSWER T. r.
Charge of Blackmaail in Columbian
Treaty Will Be
Ignored.

Washington, June 26.-Widely differ
| ing were the comments here yesterday
on the declaration of Col. Roosevelt that
the Columbian treaty made the United
States the laughing stock of the world
for its surrender to blackmail" Secre-
tary of the State Bryan declined to COM
ment.
Not just now" he said, grimly.
81 agree with the colonel in everp par
ticular in what he says about the
I treaty" said Senator w. A. Smith of
Michigan, Republican Roosevelt can.
not go too far in pointing out how ride.
ulous this Columbian treaty makes the
United States in the eyes of the world.
He is perfectly right when he says if
we stole Panama we should get out but
II we did not, there is no reason why
we should pay $25,000,000 to blackmail-
|ers.
"A man would have to be very dill
gent" said Senator Pomerene of Ohio
ito read all that the colonel said. ! pay
no attention to what he says about the
treaty, but this comment ON Perkins is
significant. OF course it is natural since
how could Roosevelt be expected to aid
in throwing out of his party the source
OF the sinews of war"
Col. Roosevelt has interposed an al
most 'insurmountable obstacle to ANAL
gamation of the Republicans and Pro.
gressive parties with himself as the
leader in his statement on George w.
Perkins" said Senator McCumber of
North Dakota. McOumber agrees with
Roosevelt on the treaties
80 far as the Roosevelt criticism of
the Nicaaguan treaty is concerned there
will be no official answer made at this
time" it was stated at the White House
yesterday President Wilson read the
statement issued by the colonel with
but he will have nothing to
say about the matter.

Ned, in love with that bonny face
twice as much as before.
She stood nearby as he devoured

Dodge told of a prospective barn

doughnuts, cider and chicken sand

clapped her pretty pink palms in de-
light at the general effect, brother
Alan appeared.
Nothing would do but that the
stranger must stay for the evening

that Ned played the violin they were

the business instinct assailed him.
Any odd or picturesque scene was
worth the money in the movies" He
ran within the right focus and set his
machine going. Absorbed in getting
it in correct operation, he looked less
at the burning building than to the
details of operation.
ut will work in well in some good
movies story" he told himself, and
ran full reel, taking in the gather
ing crowd and the varied incidents of
excitement of the episode.
A month later when the film was
produced, Ned CHANGED to see it. Then
for the first time he observed that it's
first scene showed man in full view
leaping from a window near the door,

There was an incendiary, then"
he reflected, just as heard it limited.

But Ned could not forget. EVa-the
name was on his lips in his dreams.
That sweet face f1oated- constantly
through his mind. He had secured
new and better work. He could af-
ford a weeks vacation. He resolved
to see Eva, at least once more.
Ned reached the Dodge home to
find it in state of great commotion.
All hands were anxious and troubled.
Alan, the brother of Eva, had been
accused of burning the barn Ned had
caught with his camera.
His pocket knife, it seemed, had
been found near the structure. Then,
too, its owner had quarreled with him
and did not like him.
Alan claimed he had loaned his
knife to young fellow who worked
for the owner of the barn, who had
disappeared and who had been beaten
by the farmer in quarrel

Circus Fined for pefaeina Nature.

A charge of defacing natural scenery
by sticking circus posters on the rocks
in Ute Pass, was made against the
Sells-Floto circus in complaint sworn
10 by the county commissioners of Ell
Paso county at Colorado Springs, at
the instance of the county officials.
Conviction on this charge will render
the circus liable to fine of from $50
TO $500. and liable in a civil suit
brought by the county commissioners
for all damages done, and for the ex-
pense incurred by the commissioners
in having the signs removed.
The complaint was served on Mana
ger D. B. Wyer OF the circus. He was
brought into court and released on
bond to appear June 80. The bond
was given by Frank Tammen.
The commissioners said that the
circus had put up posters at many
places in Ute Pass. and that in some
instances signs had been painted on
the rocks. The commissioners also
said that local business men had been
putting advertisements on the scenery
in Ute Pass. and that this too, is to
be stopped.

The Soak in the Soil.

The cause of seeped or oversatur-
ated land is usually the waste from
irrigation and leakage from canals
and laterals. The skillful irrigator
may insist that if no more water is
applied than is needed for growing
and maturing crops, and if the canals
are so constructed that no substantial
amount of water escapes into the earth
no land will become too wet for farm
ing purposes. In many instances how
ever irrigators have been unduly prodi-
gal in the use of water, particularly
when the land is first subdued and wa
tered The art of economical irriga-
ton is usually learned only when
scarcity of water compels its less law
ish use.
In any event, under present methods
some waste of water will occur under
the best of management, making drain
age in many places essential to profit
able agriculture. Water which pro-
duces permanent saturation rises from
the bottom of the soaked soil toward
the surface Waste from irrigation
first passes downward until a hard
stratum of earth is reached. This may
be only a few feet, in which case the
additions which accrue from the irri-
CATION of a few years will bring the
permanent water level to within two
or three feet of the surface at which
time injury to farm crops will ensue.
1t is not the downward movement
of water alone which occasions boggy
or wet areas, but the lateral movement
down slope until flat tract or sur
face depression checks the flow and
causes an accumulation of water,
which is made known by its appear
ance, but not until the lower parts of
the soil have been filled. Such de-
lpressions or level areas receive the
accumulated waste water proceeding
from adjoining lands which occupy a
higher level
1t will be seen that the saturated
condition of the land which shows in
jury is not due to the water applied
directly 10 irrigate il, but to the sur
plus which percolates from the higher
lands sometimes through considerable
distances, until it reaches the lower
flat or depression. and Colorado now
has a law providing for the organiza-
tion of drainage districts, in which the
expense OF putting in the drains is
borne by the entire acreage. Drain
age has been carried on in the west
to such extent that certain methods
are now practiced with reasonable as
surance of success. The develop
ment along this line which has taken
place during the last five years is
most encouraging to holders of seep-
ed land.-Field and Farm.

Clark Saws Suffrage.

Washington. June PA suffrage
delegation this afternoon presented to
Speaker Clark 300 petitions bearing
100000 names, representing 8S states,
demanding that congress act at this
session regarding the suffrage amend
ment. Clark replied By 1917 or a
little later. all women win be voting
in every state for national officers.
Suffrage is as inevitable as the rising
of tomorrow's sun, so l hope you'n

six thousand years men have been try
ing to run the world, and some think
we've made a mess of it.
Another delegation buttonholed Vice
President Marshall, who gave them lit

A maid there was in our town
Whose modesty was rare;
OF autumn trees she'd never speak
Because their limbs were bare.
When night its sable shadow threw
She'd tumble in a swoon
If curtain did not hide from view
The man up in the moon.
A plumber caused her death one day.
So the story goes
By asking in careless way
To let him see her hose.

American Films in Beautiful Scenery

1 v.
Wearing out the scenery by tax
ing pictures of it is not only merely
coined phrase for the amusement of
motion picture actors, according to
President S. S. Hutchinson of the
American Film Manufacturing Com
pany. 1t is not only possible to wear
out the scenery from the picture
mans standpoint, but the finding of
new Locations" as exterior back
grounds are termed, often becomes
matter for serious thought.
Certain spots in Southern Califor-
MIA have been used so frequently as
settings for motion picture scenes
that they are familiar to the theatre
patrons the world over and photorlay
directors are wont to pay fancy prices
to the owners of choice locations,
merely for the privilege of photo
graphing the property, not because
the price is equitable but to keep 9th
er directors from using the same
scene.
President Hutchinson claims that it
is impossible to lay too much stress
upon the Importance of beautiful
backgrounds. Everybody loves pretty
pictures and the scenic value of a
photodrama is a large percentage of
its total studios in Santa Barbara
places a wealth of the most magni-
ficant scenery in the United States at
the command of President Hutchin-
sons directors and much of the pop
ularity of "Flying A" pictures is un-
doubtedly due to that fact
For his new brand of movies re-
Gently launched featuring the pop
ular actress Margaret Fischer, Pres
ident Hutchinson has chosen the name
american Beauty" with the lauda-
BILE idea of presenting strong artis-
tic drama with special attention given
to the beauty of the backgrounds and
the perfection of the photography.

ARK ANSAS TO SEND MAG
NIFICENT EXHIBITION
100000 Will be Required and Steps
Will Begin Immediately Getting
Together Excellent Exhibit
for the Building.

Unless signs which are plainly
written across the Heavens fail, Ar
kansas will send to San Francisco one
Of the most magnificent exhibitions
ever placed by any state at a world
wide exposition. The convention held
in Little Rock last week, sponsored
by Gov. G. w. Hays, was the stepping
stone from which the movement will
grow, and this week the committee
to raise 100000 required will be
named by Gov. Hays. Work will i'm
,mediately begin and while the money
is being raised, bit of attention will
be paid to getting together something
to exhibit when the building is com
pleted.
The first real step in the work is,
therefore, not to be along financing
lines. There seems to be little doubt
in the mind of Gov. Hays that the
money will be forth coming, so he can
turn his attention to the source of
supply for exhibits. Arrangements
will be made to care for the finest
of this years crop, that can be saved
For crops maturing after the opening
date of the exposition, especial care
is to be taken with the 1914 crop in
order to produce some real premium
stuff. California is the only recog-
nized fruit rival of Arkansas, and a
great deal of that states reputation
was founded on Arkansas fruit which
was shipped to California points, re
packed and sold again as California
fruit, and at much higher prices.
1t is the intention of Gov. Hays
and those promoting the enterprise, to
have daily shipments go forward to
San Francisco during the exposition.
The exposition will open in strawber-
ry time and extend through until after
apple picking time. This will give
Arkansas a chance to appear in her
Sunday clothes. Fresh Arkansas
fruit will be shown right beside Cal
ifornia fruit, and it is a safe bet that
Arkansas will not suffer from the
comparison.
The horticultural and other socie-
ties will assist in the work, especially
in the preparing of fruit for shipment.
All Arkansas schools will this year
prepare feature exhibit from which
the best will be selected. The same
will be done by the manufacturers of
the state-in fact, Arkansas is going
right to California to show the people
of the world that they brought the
wrong ticket when they went looking
for the garden spot of the world, Ar
kansas being the only state answering
that description.

STATE PRESS CLUB
BEGINS PREPARATIONS
Entertainment Committee Directed to
Spread itself and Not Consider
Expenses to Entertain An
nual Editors Meeting.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-Not resting
on their laurels, the members Of the
Little Rock Press Club this week re
fused to take a breathing spell after
its entertainment of the Arkansas
State Press Association last week,
started right in this week to prepare
for the big annual meeting to be held
in May. The local club members met
at dinner and the entertainment
committee was directed to spread
itself" and not to consider expenses.
This means that the entertainment af-
forded visiting editors last Thursday
is but a vest pocket edition of what
they may expect in May.
The work of the committee on the
newspaper bill is likewise going on.
and petitions to initiate it will soon
be in the hands of voters. Enough
signatures are already assured to
have the petition on file with the Sec
retary of State within a month after
the petition is first circulated. Some
minor changes will be made in the bill
but in the main, it will be as approx
ed by the members of the press at the
recent meeting. The bill provides for
publicity of acts of county courts, eX-
penditures of cities, equalization and
school boards, levying courts COM
missionerS Of accounts, and a synop-
sis of all bills passed by the legisla-
ture. The section which requires the
publication of assessment reductions
is expected to put much property on
, the tax books of the state.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the excursion which is annually tax
en- by the press party. 1t is custo-
mary for the Iron Mountain and other
roads to furnish a special train for
the editors and their families, but
last year the party went by boat to
St. Louis. Some desire to make an
other trip of this character in 1914,
| but there are many who favor a
seeing Arkansas" trip. Some desire
! to go again on the White River
branch of the Iron Mountain, because
Of the beautiful scenery there. Many
others prefer to visit East Arkansas,
a section never before toured by the
editors. 1t is pointed out that trip
from Little Rock to HoXie, over the
| Ircn Mountain. would permit both
Newport and Walnut Ridge to be Wis
tied. The party could then go over
the Frisco to Black Rock, Hardy and
Sloan Springs, back to HoXie and
run up to Pocahontas. Then back
again to Hoxie and over to Jonesboro
thence to Paragould, Osceola, Blythe
Vile. Wilson, Marion, Marked Tree
Nettleton, Harrisburg, Wynne, and
home by either Bald Knob, Judsonia,

days, which would give the first three
