A solemn Associated Press dispa,

A solemn Associated Press dispatch announces that mud, just ordinary mud, splattered on President Wilson's automobile, while he was out riding with his bride. People all over the country will deeply regret to hear this, for up to this time Virginia has had very high social standing. The vulgar and unwarranted deed was committed when the automobile was run through an unbridged creek. The creek had never acted this way before and if it does it again it should be damned.

The Montrose Enterprise says that
during his visit in that city last week
Supervising Engineer Walters gave
out the information that the board
of review, which will look over the
Uncompahgre project, will take up
the work on this project early in
May or within about three weeks.
The board for this project will con-
sist of Mr.. Bruce, president of the
Uncompahgre Valley Water Users
association; Mr.. Pease, formerly
manager of this project, and Mr. Pres
ton, an engineer of Denver. The
board is now at work on the North
Platte project.
Mr.. Walters tells us that the Con.
gressional committee which will visit
the reclamation projects for the pur.
pose of gathering data upon which to
base future appropriations, will visit
the Uncompahgre project on Satur
day June 26. They expect to come
up from Grand Junction on a special
train, reaching Montrose at 1880 in
the morning. They will be met by
autos and taken over as much of the
project as can be covered during the
day. winding up at Delta from where
they will go back to Grand Junction
probably on special. They will
spend Sunday looking over the Grand
Valley project.
Mr.. Walters says that there will be
about ten congressman in the party
some of whom will be accompanied by
their wives, the entire party number
ing about 20.

WHY The TIDE Is TURNING.

Nature works in its own way. 1t is
governed by immutable laws. The
apple will drop from the tree, but the
law of gravitation will not carry it
back. The world revolves on its axis
as it has from the day of creation.
1t is not like the hands of a clock
that can be turned backward. The
stars move in their Interchangeable Or
bits, and the moons phases are to-
day what they were when the orb of
night was set in the Skies
If one should demand that we legis-
late to change the laws of nature and
revise the rules of the Universe. he
would become the laughing stock of
the world. Economic laws are not as
immutable as those of nature. but
they are and will be the great gov
erning principles of trade, finance and
commerce between men and between
nations as long as civilization en-
dures.
The law of supply and demand-as
simple as it is brief-provides that,
If an article be over-produced and un-
derconsumed, its price must decline,
and if the supply be short and the
demand heavy. the price will advance.
Yet there are those who believe, in
this enlightened day. that prices can
be regulated by law, that commissions
made up of inexperienced men and
theorists with wild visions of a new
destiny for man and a new freedom
for trade. can change economic laws
that have governed as far back as
civilization goes
The people are facing the natural
result of submitting so long to the
quack remedies of demagogues and
theorists. We have hundreds of thou.
sands clamoring for work. we have
the revival of the soup house, the
shrinkage of dividends, an unprece
dented list of bankruptcies, large and
small. the withdrawal of capital from
all new enterprises. and the smallest
railway mileage under construction re
ported in many years.

Recent Rural School LsaisIatio

The legislature of Kansas has pass
ed laws providing for the holding of
conventions for the members of school
boards and appropriating S25, 200 to
aid weak districts
In New Mexico aid is given to the
rural schools through a bill which
provides an additional state tax of
one-half of one mill. One half of the
current school fund is to be known as
the reserve fund" to be used in
maintaining seven-month terms in
such districts as are not able to main
tain a term of seven months from
state funds, the local tax of Is mills
and the districts apportionment from
the county general fund. The county
fund consists of three mill tax.
West Virginia requires the local
boards to pay the tuition of such
pupils as have finished the elementary
schools and wish to attend a high
school in another district. The
boards are also given larger powers
in consolidating. building graded
schools and transporting pupils. No
school shall be maintained after July
1. 1915. for fewer than ten pupils.
Boards may employ such means as
seem wise to provide educational ad-
vantages to those living more than
two miles from school house. using
the funds of the district for this pur.

THAT FIRST PRINT

The first printing press was a small
boy. or that part of him at least that
connects with a chair.
The small boy sat down upon a
chair which contained a carved initial.
When the Monk who owned the chair
turned Mr.. Boy across his lap to have
him in a convenient position to spank,
he beheld upon his white pants the
imprint of what was on the char seat.
Seized with big idea the Monk
dabbed the boy upon the chair form
once more, then thumped him down
hard upon sheet of paper, and the
art of printing was discovered.
1t was probably the same Monk,
who little later. answered young
woman who asked his advice as to the
best way to make an impression
WAS to sit down in a pan of dough"
The small boy couldn't be used in
regular job work, because there was
no way of locking up his form. Be-
sides he blurred most of the wedding
invitations and other high-class sta
tionery, and his system of punctua-
tion was abominable.
Mechanical genius came to the res.
cue, however. some centuries later,
when Gutenberg and Shorty Frank.
lin gave to the world a more advanced
knowledge of printing and paper Not
