The State Issue

Chairman Stewart has outlined the Republican
campaign. The party is to be silent on national
issues, it realizes that nothing canbe said against
President Wilson and the members of congress
who have been loyal to the administration. The
fight is therefore be centered on the head OF the
state ticket. T. NJ Patterson has made record
of forty years in Colorado. He is strong man,
good fighter for what he conceves to be for the
best interests of the state and he knows the needs
and wishes of the people we'll any man.
Good fighters against wrongs always make en-
emies, and all the mud that can be thrown against
Mr.. Patterson will avail the secret enemies of the
present administration but very little.

The IMPORTANCE OF
4 GOOD DRAINAGE
Splendid Results Obtained in Carmel
Drainage District
BY CARL B. STOW

In any successful irrigated agricul-

water for the irrigation of all crops;
natural or artificial drainage; smooth,
fertile land, and good railroad facilities
and markets. But of these the water
supply and drainage are most essential
and important. Irrigated districts like
ours with an abundance of water for

Have Not Violated Armistice.

The American reply was delivere
to the mediators late today. The
mcdiators themselves also took the
view that the question raised by
Hucrta over the observance of tho
armistice could be cleared away and
that Hucrta could be convinced that
the United States had not violated in
spirit at least the armistce.
The cabinet meeting brought out y
general discussion of the situation.
it was said after the meeting that
there was little doubt as to the send
ing of additional forces, wholly for
precautionary purposes II also be-
came known that Inquiries had been
made Of the governors Of states to
ascertain the condition Of national
guards and how soon they could be
prepared for active service This also
is a precautionary measure. lndica'
tions are that if national guards arc
.lled on they would not be sent GU,
ot the country but would be used on

wears we have striven diligently to
atone for that folly, but if our rela-
lions with Latin America are not to-

we have only to recall our own conduct
OF ninety years ago. We have now,
since the days of James G.. Blaine,
striven to arrogate that idea OF Boil
vars as our own, but we shall do well
to remember its rea' origin. The Drago
Doctrine, forbidding the collection OF
debts by military force, is apparently
based upon the Monroe Doctrine, since
the latter is cited as its authority, but
Major Bigelow rightly points out that
such is not really the case. The Drago
Doctrine is rather a corollary of the
Bolivar idea, and while it does not
conflict with the Monroe Doctrine 1T
goes much beyond il in some respects,
and cannot claim our adherence and
support on the ground of the latter.
We may add that the little volume

tistical appendices, making it one of
the most complete as we'll as con-
venient handbooks on the subject.

At the time of the Jubilee, in 1897,
London was crowded with politicians

1t is now nearly a hundred years
since Cadwsllader Golden published his
Life of Robert Fulton" with some ex-
pressions which we cannot help re-
garding as fulsome. and since 1.-THE
Quarterly Review in the next num-
Der after that containing its historic
onslaught upon "Endymion" which
killed John Keats" reviewed the same,
with some expressions which we can
not help regarding as savage. Those
two publications justify the declaration
of the present author in his preface,
that American biogrsphers have credit
ed Fulton with greater achievements
than the facts warrant, while English
writer's have too often dismissed him
contemptuously as charlatan. They
also justify the presentation, even at
this late day, of a painstaking, impair
tial and authoritative history of the
great man and his great designs.
that his friend Golden erred in the
suggestion that no greater benefactor
of the human race had ever lived. Yet
the invention of the steamboat alone
would give him an assured rank among
great benefactors. while if we add
thereto his high artistic talent, his en-
lightened advocacy of canal systems
such as some countries more enter
prising than his own have most profit
ably adopted. and his pioneership 4
invention of screw as we'll as paddle
propelers, of torpedoes and Of sub

ever before his title to such recogni-
ton.

view, really corollsry Of the third.
Two are North American and two are
South American. The first, in time and
also in importance, is the Washington
Prccept. embodied in the familiar pas
sages OF the Farewell Address, the ex-
hortation to shun foreign influences
and entangling alliances and to de-
velop and cherish an American sys-
tenn quite distinct from that of
Europe. In discussing this Major
Bigelow does not make the too com
mon mistake of trying to be more royal
than the king. He does not read into
the Address things Of which Washing
ton never dreamed, nor put upon it
strained constructions, nor regard It as
an infexible and immutable fetch. We
might wish that he had given page or
two to the origin of that Address, or
of that part of 1t showing how clearly
it was q mere crystallization of prn-
ciples and utterances which Washing
