MEETING OF WATER USERS
ASSOCIATION
Advisory Board Selected

The meeting was called to order by
the vice president, Onda Young, Sat
urday afternoon following a meeting
of contract holders, mentioned else
where. d. b. Novels, president Of
the association, was called to the chair.
Mr.. Novels made a few remarks as
to the purpose of the organization
and its possibilities. Business was
then taken up and a motion was made
and carried that an advisory board
be selected to consult and cooperate
with Mr.. Harris in the management
of the irrigation system and in all
matters of interest to the segregation.
d. b. Novels had recommended the
same at a meeting of contract holders
held just before that of the associa-
ton, which, too, was the voice Of
those present at said meeting. The
segregation was roughly divided into
five districts, the boundaries OF which
are to be more fully described and
published later in the Sentinel. Then
five contract holders were elected, one
from each district, to constitute said
advisory board, as follows: District
No. /, constituted by the lands irri-
gated through lateral No. l, d. Car
son; District No. 2, embracing tracts
under branch c Of lateral No. 2, and
territory between District No. l and
town, A. S. Crowder; District No. 3,
consisting of tracts near town, Onda
Young; District No. 4, embracing
tracts south and east Of the McNic-
kel tract on branch b Of lateral No.
II, l.. F. Mathews; District No. b,
consisting of tracts on main canal
west and southwest Of town, ]. V.
Sayler.
A motion was made and carried that
+. l.. Harris especially, the bondhold-
ers, and all other contract holders,
not now members, be invited to be-
come members of the association.
Mr.. Harris thanked the associa-
ton. A committee of three was Sc
lected on membership and instructed
to recommend at the next meeting
plans to secure members and fees to
be charged, consig,ing Of ]. V. Say
Ter, chairman; J. w. Cotter and N. G.
Jones. One of the most interesting
transactions of the meeting was when
IF. l.. Harris, who recently returned
from Chicago, arose without introduc-
ton and announced that he had great
pleasure in being able to say our hopes
for a railroad leading TO Two Buttes
will probably be realized in the near
future. What he did say is given in
his own words in the story on rail-
road. Those presens seemed a first
dumbfounded, but soon brok. out to
cheering. Before they adjourned
vote of thanks was extended to Mr..
Harris for his labor IN the interest
of a railroad and for bringing such
good news. A motion was made ard
carried that election II officers be
made the special order Of business on
Saturday, May lit, to which date rhe
association adjourned.-Two Buttes

Nelson w. Aldrich

History will treat the fame of the
late Senator Nelson w. Aldrich far
better than contemporary critics did
toward the end Of his official career
He became the target of Democrats
and insurgent Republicans, especially
during the discussion of the Payne
tariff measure, while it was being
passed and after its enactment. Rec
Ognizing the influence of reiteration
and the psychological value Of per-
sonification, his critics used his name
as a synonym for methods in gov
ernment which they bitterly assailed
Yet even his most critical colleagues
privately admitted that he was an
honest, sincere man. Only once was
he charged with a personal interest
in any of the tariff schedules he de-
Tended MI. Bristow charged this in
connection with the rubber schedule
This brought out the only public de-
fense of himself Mr.. Aldrich ever
made. He showed conclusively to
all unbiased followers of the con-
troversy that the attack was grossly
unjust That Mr. Aldrich's viewpoint
coincided with that of large business
men is not remarkable, for he had
been a business man himself. Only
the most venomous or the most igno-
rant of his critics ever intimated that
he received orders from big bust
ness"
Mr. Aldrich was for a great part of
his long career in the senate a domi-
nant figure. While lacking the elo-
quence of many of his colleagues and
never indulging in profound legal dis
cussions, he was a master of details
of Legislation and his remarks, in
committees and in the senate, were
always enlightening. In fact, he ac-
quired a reputation for omniscience
that was scarcely deserved. 1t was
impossible for any man to become an
expert on the multitude of subjects
with which Mr.. Aldrich dealt. But
there was one conspicuous service for
which he should receive everlasting
credit. He was the guiding spirit of
the Monetary Commission which
studied the currency systems Of all
the countries of the world and made
recommendations Of the most valuable
features of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn. This commission carried on a
campaign of education which prepar-
ed the bankers of the country to make
intelligent criticisms of the crude

Jubilee Sextet Sings With Organ

A large audience was afforded an
unusual musical treat yesterday after
non at the exposition when w. C.
Buckner's Dixie Jubilee Singers gave
an excellent program, accompanied by
DIR. Humphrey J. Stewart on the or
gan. The singers are a sextet OF col
ored musicians who are on a 10000
mile concert tour Of the United
States.
When asked what he thought Of the
great pipe organ, Buckner said: at
is simply superb. We have sung with
nearly all the large organs in the
United States, including the Salt Lake
organ, but in my opinion none of them
can compare with your wonderful in
strument in beauty of tone or con-
struction. So charmed are we with
the novelty of singing with the only
out-of-doors pipe organ in the world
that we have decided to accept the in
vitation of President Davidson and
Miss Gertrude Gilbert to return and
give concert with the organ Sun

The government will go broke if it
continues to investigate all the sem
sational stories that those California
newspapers will print regarding Jap
anese and their alleged intentions
against the American people. Admiral
Howard has had to send a warship
down the coast of Lower California,
investigating whether the Japs are
founding a naval base on Mexican
territory, because a newspaper man
came up from there with such a tale.
1t turned out, as every thoughtful
person supposed, that they were sim
ply trying to salvage their sunlSen
warship.
They feed themselves on such stuff
out on the Pacific coast, and it is in
rather unattractive contrast with the
attitude of the friendly Japanese. Two
of their warships sail into the bay
at Honolulu and find an American
submarine at the bottom of the sea,
its crew drowned and the nation
mourning. They dip their flags, sail
around the fatal spot and fire a sa-
Lutte. At that moment Los Angeles
newspaper writer is hurrying up the
coast to peddle a sensation against
them that is not true.
Last Saturday, certain missionaries
in China found $4,000 loose money
somewhere wherewith to cable Presi-
dent Wilson, asking him to step in
and interfere with Japanese and Chi
nese diplomacy. The message no
doubt went. on file with all the rest
that floated into the White house that
day. We have not heard of any Mon
roe doctrine that the nation is sup
porting on that side of the Pacific
ocean. Those six thousand dollars
would have supported mission and a
lot of poor for long time. The mis-
sionaries better keep out of politics.
The seas have been cleared of German
raiders, at least the south seas have,
and Japan and England do not need
a base. 1t is absurd to suppose that
England would permit her ally at this
time to antagonize this country and
start trouble that it could not finish.
She needs what we have to send her
and is smiling her sweetest in fear
that German influence may stop what
we are doing. Trouble with any ally
of England is the last thing for this
country to fear-Californi to the
contrary.-Ex.

SENATOR'S NOT LOSING ANY
TRICKS
Honesliohn and Charley VIII Keep
All the Plums in Their Law
Firms

Matters are assuming such shape
in the Mercantile National bank fail
ure that the depositors are highly in
censed that Denver men are dominat-
ing its affairs. This seems to have
been brought about through the law
firm of Thomas, Bryant, Nye and
Malburn of Denver. Now see the con-
nection. Thomas is the man misrep-
resenting Colorado in the U. S. SEN
ate. He is the head of the law firm.
Malburn is his son-in-law, we are in
formed, and is the junior member of
the firm. This son-in-law is some
sort of an assistant in the U. S. treas
ury department.
Naturally why shouldn't the gov
eminent employ his firm when there
is an opportunity, because
I"Old Opportunity will knock
But once-then knocks no more.
But Ops some knocker, when he
finds
A knocker on the door"
And there you are, because it is
reported about this mans town that
Senator Honest" Jawn Shafroth's
partner of Denver has been appointed
Receiver by the U. S. treasury
through the Denver law firms of
Thomas, ct al and Shafroth, ct al. 1t
looks as though the depositors should
get busy quick if they wish to save
anything out of the wreck.
One thing is sure and that is that
Puebloans do not want any Denver
men handling the affairs Of this bank,
and if necessary the depositors should
bump the outfit out.
If the depositors of the Mercantile
bank fight for their rights, as they
have started out to do, they will drive
that Denver bunch out of the Slaugh-
ter house. Why should 5000 deposit
ors' money be subject to liquidation
through Denver men? Fight it out,
and fight hard. One attorney sent
from Denver to take the job refused
to take it, and he had no sooner lit
in town than he lit out for Denver
again. Shame on Colorado's senators
to butt in through their respective
firms.
Pueblo has just as able men to act
as receiver and just as competent at
torneys as has Denver. In fact but
for a Pueblo financier Denver's big
bank three years ago would have gone
up. So why should a real estate
shark" be sent here to handle this
banks affairs? Shall Denver run
Pueblo? What say you, fellow citi-
zens Pueblo Opinion.

SCRIPTURES FoREToLD WAR.
Prediction Published 26 Years Ago as
to Overthrow of Rulerships.

AT this time with most of Europe
flying at each other s threats and that
portion of the world echoing to the
thunder of the largest and most power
full of modern guns and fearful of new
wonders of destruction, there is brought
forcefully to the attention the predic-
ton published 20 years ago that the
whole of Christendom would be engaged
IN warfare which would be the forefun-
ner of the coming of the kingdom of
heaven on earth. The prediction de-
clared this would come to pass before
the end of 1914 and has proved only
partly true.
