ENEMIES OF DRAINAGE
AND IRRIGATION

The Moffat Home and Farm last
week contains the announcement
that certain Saguache cattlemen are
taking steps to dissolve the Moffat
Irrigation District. The Home and
Farm says:
"A campaign at this time to try
and throw the irrigation district out
of gear. does not come as surprise
to the local people. They have ex-
pected to learn of such an attempt,
at any season of the year. Senti-
ment among the cattle men OF Sagu-
ache against the district has been
strong for many years. This wave of
been on the increase. and grows in
proportion to the amount of hay and
grass land utilized by local cattle
owners.
THE starting of such movement,
at this time is a natural consequence
following a strong possibility of the
passage OF state legislation, which is
designed to aid irrigation districts
In order to set aside the district here
before the proposed line of develop
ment takes place, the Saguache ele-
ment figures 1t is time to be on the
job"
The Journal is reliably informed
that there are also some cattle
kings" in the Moffat district who
have opposed every movement for
drainage. A large acreage of po-
tential farming land in that section
is now. on account OF its saturated
condition. valuable solely for past
ure purposes.

cuse for German excesses. But II
in fact the civil population of Bel
gium deserved what it got because
it resisted the invaders, then the
world will wonder If the civil popu-
lation of East Prussia was better
entitled to humane treatment.
If Germany had given more
thought to the laws of humanity
and war before she initiated terror
ism during her Belgian campaign,
before she began numbering sleep
ing non-combatants with Zeppelins
at Antwerp, before the rape of Lou
vain and the wreck of Rheims, be-
fore the introduction of gas bomb
asphyxiation in the trenches and
submarine slaughters on the sea, she
would now stand n decidedly better
chance of both credence and SYM
pathy in her belated outcry against
the excesses of her enemies in East
Prussia.
Even if the horrors that Germany
charges are true, the world will be
disposed now to meet these charges
with the arguments that Germany
has found so satisfactory-to her
self-in justification of German war
methods.

war has been distinct success.
Warsaw, Tannenberg, Paris, Calais,
Galicia-every drive has fallen short
of its mark save that on Antwerp,
and Antwerp was by no means an ul-
innate destination; it was a half
way station on the way to Calais.
The strain on internal Germany
and Austria, on their general eco
nomic reserves entirely aside from
the military needs of their situa-
tion, is almost beyond conception.
They are scrapping railroads, wear
ing out highways, putting the last
bit of pressure upon their factories

NATIONAL.

This weeks Aborn production at the
National affords the happy combination
OF "Erminie," comic opera that Is q
prime favorte OF music lovers, and a
cast which includes a considerable num-
Der of high lights of summer musical
stock presentations. Estelle Wentworth,
F'ritzi Won Busing, Forrest Huff. Frank
Deshon, Albert Parr and Sol Solomon
make UP an array of favorites which
those who have followed the Aborn
productions would find 1t hard to resist
in anything they might sing.
Neither In the delicious drollery which
the rascally rogues afford, nor in the
melodtous numbers of the Paulton-
Jakobowski opera. did this array fail.
Deshon's antics in the role Of Cadeaux,
the more unmistakably burglarious
member Of the duo, and Huff's suave
assumption of the role Of gentleman
until he was found out, provoked mirth
of the hilarious sort. Their "Downy
Jailbirds of Feather" was an ade-
quate vocal introduction for their sub
sequent escapades.
What many came to hear, the Lula
BY was sung with excellent effect by
Estelle Wentworth, and If the orchestra
would, in several other numbers, attain
the same degree of repression, the pro-
duction would be the gamer. Especially
welcome was the sprightly FRITZ Won
Busing with a mezzo-soprano voice of
rich and appealing quality. and a per
sonality" which declines to be hid under
bushel, or even under an ensemble.
Albert Parr was made to repeat his
solo at the opening of the second act
several times. The quality of the Aborn
chorus was notably In evidence in the
singing of "A Soldiers Life"
The production of "Erminie'' easily
measures up to the high standard SET
by other efforts of the Aborns this sea-
son. which properly could be accorded
the dignity of being characterized as
"revivals." 1t admirably achieves the
difficult task of interpreting the musica
beauty of the piece and at the same
| time restoring in full measure the
comedy of the well remembered Franci:
Wilson production.

1t was learned today from a source
close to both Governor whitman and
District Attorney Perkins that Beck
er could not save himself. because

" ould simply amount to letting OFT
man convicted of murder in return
for evidence that would punish other
persons for crimes of much less I'M
portance.
An incident significant of the policy
that probably will be pursued by tho
authorities i2 found in the case OF
William Flack, sentenced to death
for murder. Flack was brought 10
this city recently to testify against
Angelo Leggio. accused Of murder
and was largely responsible for the
1ntter's conviction. Despite that fact
however. no recommendation for
Communication OF Flacks sentence has
been made or is likely to be made.
1t was pointed out by way of illustraa
ton that Becker might furnish evidence
of grating against police officials or
former police officials. Supposing he did
and supported his assertions with proof
the most those persons could be pun
ished would be a year or so In jail.
Officials pointed out that 1t would not
be serving the ends Of justice to save
Becker from the electric chair just Ia
send one man or more to prison for a
short term.
Just what will be the attitude Of the
Becker family In regard TO Becker was
to be made known today. There was

tenant John Becker and Jackson Eecko
, both brothers of the condemn .d man
and Me.tin NJ. Manton. Becker's attor.
Becker spent a quiet Monday in the
death house. His nervousness was not
so great. He seems to be regaining his
normal condition. Mrs. Becker visited
him yesterday, but met him in the
death house. instead of in the room OF
the principal keeper. as she had done
on Sunday.
Becker was much interested in the
newspapers account of the German
note. Up to last Tuesday he had read
aloud to men in the death house the
more interesting parts Of the days news
but he gave that up after the decision
reached him. Yesterday. for the first
time in week he went back to the
practice, much to the pleasure OF his
fellow inmates.

When war Is declared three of his
former comrades send him white

torture each of his three comrades.
They demand the return of their
white feathers. On his return to Eng

and a wedding ring. -Four feathers

attraction.
