and the tr1.... the matter is 10:
open to question"
Gentlemen who may be reading this
article may read the above quotation
from that opinion again and then lay
aside this paper. close your eyes and
think just what that means. 1t means
that the district judges of the state
of Colorado are the only men in the
state who have not the right TO de-
lend themselves when charged with
judicial crime before the supreme
court of the state and IL further
means that when a charge is made
against any district Judge in this
state. the supreme court will take
,he word of that criminal and disbar
that Judge in SO far as that criminals
case is concerned.
In other words, to be district
Judge in Colorado means to be an Of
cial without that protection OF the
| constitution which is guaranteed to
every other citizen. namely, the right
10 present ones case before a jury
OF his peers.
There is no intention in this to
question the motives OF the
FIVE judges who signed the ma
jority opinion of the court. Judge
White wrote the poinIon and Judge
White. is In my opinion, one OF the
!. strongest judges on the bench. With
out doubt. he believed that he was

TO its intent and meaning.
However. when once the people
of this state fully realize the con-
struction that has been placed on
that statute, they viii not be con-
tent until It has been repealed.
Beginning next January this state
will witness a vicious fight in the

Crops Worth Millions
American Farmers To Get More Than
Ever BEFORE.

The 1915 agricultural crops will be the larg
est in quantity and the greatest in value in
the history of tie American nation, according
to the August crop estimates, issued by the
Department. Of Agriculture.
The wheat. corn and oats crops alone it is
estimated will bring the American farmers
nearly $4,000 coo, 900. the greatest sum ever
realized on these products. The wheat yield
will be nearly 100000 900 bushels, the corn
yield 2,9lS 100000 bushels and the oats yield
1,4O2 900, 600 bushels. These estimates stand as
new high records.
The Maryland wheat yield will fall about
2,s5O,OOO bushels below last years crop, but in
Virginia the estimates promise a $500, 900
bushel gain. The Maryland wheat crop is
placed at u 200 600 bushels against -, los, 900
bushels in 1914 and against 100000 bushels
as an average for 19O9-l91O. The per acre
yield in Maryland is estimated at 16 bushels,
against 1913 bushels last year. The Virginia
total yield is estimated at 900 bushels,
against II .296 900 bushels last year and against
GIL 900 bushels the average for l9O9-l9l3.
Pennsylvania is given %, 900 bushel yield,
against 20, 747 600 bushels last year.
Throughout the whole country it is estimated
the wheat acreage is 100000 acres larger
than last year. the number of acres being
4O,l69OOO an increase of IL per cent. over
1914.
The total yield of principal crops for this
year estimated follows. the yields in
1914 being given for comparison:
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1915-10-09

The Agricultural Departments experts place
the price of bushe of wheat on August / at
$1.O6li. At this figure, the value of the wheat
crop is estimated at 81 .O24 900, 900 The value
of tine corn crop is estimated at 50 ,3l5 10000
and the oat crop at $3.50 100000. No value is
placed on the cotton crop, but it is stated that
the price on August is ST. cents
Practically all the August / estimates indi-
cate larger yields than were forecast on July l.
Corn prospects increased almost 100000, 900
bushels, the principal gains having been Hi
nois, 30.JOO.O0O bushels: Kansas. "a. OOO, 900 ::
Oklahoma, 26,O0O.OOO; Nebraska, Is. OOO. 900 ::
Iowa, $4,000, 600, and Texas. 100000.
If the figures as fixed in the estimate, are
realized, the American farmer will receive
more money for his product this year than ever
before in the history of the country Much Of
the Western wheat was sold last year by the
farmers before the war boosted the price but
this year it is anticipated that the farmer him
self will get the benefit of the high prices.

AFTER NEW WEST POINT

DENVER. July 19.-Following ex-
Pres't Taft's demand for a new
West Point" to be located some
where in the west, Denver has started
a movement to demand that the sec
ond United States military academy,
if such be established, be located at
Fort Logan.
The federal government owns the
land on which Fort Logan stands and
this post is close TO the fine m~aneuVre
grounds at Fort Russell, near Chey-
enne. The climate is ideal all the
year round.
Trunk lines of several railroads pass
neal Fort Logan so hat at a mo-
ment's notice officers from the school
could be rushed east TO the big militia
ny post at Fort Leavenworth and to
the Atlantic coast, or south to the
Mexican border, or west TO the Pacific
coast.
1t is urged here chat no new build
ings would be necessary at Fort LO-
gan. as the present structures would
be fully sufficient.

INDIANA DAY At FAIR
PROVED BIG SUCCESS
Gov. RaISton and Family Ex-
peCted to Return to Cap
itaI Saturday.
BY Willis 5. Thompson.

INDIANAPOLIS, july let is un-
derstood that Gov. Ra1ston and family
will return from their Panama-Pacific
trip about the oath or 25th. They are
now returning from the Panama canal,
and will come by the way Of New or
leans. whence they took passage on
the eth for the round trip to the canal
via Havana.
Those of the governors original par
ty who have returned declare they
had the time OF their lives on the trip
to San Francisco. Most of them man
aged to stay together for h week
they visited the exposition. They were
entertained as a party with auto rides
and in various ways. They were guests
of Col. FoOte at the Preside, the mill
tary post; also of the commandment at
the naval training station on Goat Is
land, and were taken by a government
boat to visit the battleship Oregon.
Indiana day, the home corners re-
port, was a great success. That there
we're several thousand of special visit
ors. Ii was admittedly the most sue
cessful state day" that had been cell
ebrated. The governors address,
while a trifle long, was heard by the
audience with close attention, and
made a splendid impression is it de-
served. Gov. Johnson of California,
referred TO il in his remarks, as a most
eloquent presentation of Indiana's
claims and achievements. DR.. O'DOn-
nells ode was a pleasing surprise.
Meet ut Los Angeles.
The party began To scatter at San
Francisco. but almost % of them got
together again at Los Angeles, where
they were entertained by the chamber
of commerce. under the management
Of Sec'y Frank Virgins. The enter
tainment included an auto drive fol-
lowed by luncheon at the Beverly Hills
hotel. The second day included a
trip to the Catalina Islands. three
hours by boat from Los Angeles.
The Ralston and the Hughes fami-
lies made a one-day stop at Bakers
field on their way from San Francis
co TO Los Angeles, where they visited
Mr.. Hughes brother and other friends.
The governors stay in san Diego
was short, because he was due with his
family at New Orleans July 8, having
secured passage on a bOat leaving for
Panama the next day. But they spent
a very busy and pleasant half day at
that exposition. While Of course the
San Diego fair is nothing like SO pre-
tentiOus in size or scope as that at San
Francisco. yet in some respects il is
superior. The landscape architect
WHO COuCelNtu anu carried out lllS
vision, creating a veritable Paradise
out Of a rough desert of sand dunes
and sagebrush, was certainly a master
of his profession and a genius.
Indiana's displays at the Panama
Pacific exposition were found credita-
bic both in size and quality. Her
educational and industrial exhibits
were very good n her agricultural
exhibit was made particularly attract
i've by the use of moving pictures,
showing various kinds of live stock on
Indiana farms.
