The Chicago Tribune recently called
attention to the report of the Universe
ty of California investigators on the
reclaimed land settlement. This re-
port was cited as proof that land buy
ers from the cities are ''eXploited' and
driven back to the cities broken and
bankrupt. AS to the cause and remedy
the Tribune says:
"There are various causes for this
state of affairs. The first is the specu-
lation in government developed land.
The second is the absence of any dis
elimination in the admission of set
tiers. and the third is the lack OF a
system of rural credits. Interest rates
are two or three times as high in these
communities as in sections of reclaim
ed land settled by other countries. -
The government has lent its name
and it's capital to land spectators and
local bankers, interested only in get
ting as much money out of the settler
as possible. If the government really
intends to offer an outlet for over
crowded cities and unwholesome tone
ments it can do so. 1t can supervise
these reclaimed lands until settlers are
established, and it can provide some
system of rural credits. Otherwise the
money spent in irrigation or drainage
might better be employed elsewhere
The charges are serious; the remedy

BOARD OF HEALTH Or
DERS RESERVOIR CLEANED

The Roman board of health ex-
amined the reservoir at the
Scarce artesian we'll yesterday
and as a result ordered the same
thoroughly cleaned and a tight
cover made to prevent the water
becoming polluted in the future.
The reservoir will be housed and
a pump installed so that anyone
may get water therefrom in the
future as in the past, but no one
will be allowed to dip buckets or
other receptacles in the water
and there will be a paddock on
the opening to housing.
There has never been a con-
tagious disease in Roman and this
action has been taken in an eff
fort to prevent same in the flu
ture. The water from the ar
tesian we'll has been the means
of the people here having pure
water, as long as it is not allowed
to become contaminated, and
this danger is to be guarded
carefully. Mr.. Scarce has al
ways very kindly allowed every
body to get all the water they
desired at the we'll and those
who are permitted to do so should
be careful to not pollute the
source of water so many others
use.
The action of the board Of
health should be commended by
every citizen of Roman. and il
undoubtedly will be.

THE CHICAGO NOMINEE

The result OF the Chicago re-
publican convention is the NOM
ination of former associate JUS
tice of the supoeme court Charles
E. Hughes for president, and
former vice president Charles
". Fairbanks for vice president.
This result was brought about
after several efforts were made
to settle upon some candidate
acceptable to the progressives
also in convention in that city on
the same dates. 1t was impos-
sible to compromise and on the
third ballot Hughes received a
practically unanimous vote of the
republican convention and Fair
banks was nominated on the
first ballot.
The progressives named Roose-
Welt for president and Col. Park
er, whoever he is, hailing from
Louisiana, for vice president.
Col. Roosevelt Immediately de-
clined the nomination and from
present indications there will be
only one ticket opposed to the
democratic nominee, which will
be President Wilson.
Leading democratic papers of
the state say that nothing detri-
mental can be said against
Hughes, his public and private
character being irreproachable,
and that the campaign will be
one of brilliant oratory and
not of the mud-slinging variety.
The people of the whole country
will welcome such a campaign,
and may the best man win. The
republicans, of course, believe il
will be Hughes, and with {
united party behind him it woulc
seem that his chances were
brightest.
Charles E. Hughes is a man OF
highest character; he was twice
elected governor of New York
and resigned to accept a place on
the supreme bench, which he re-
signed to make the race for the
presidency, His record as gov.
ernor of the Empire state was
marked by the enactment Of
many reform laws and his friend:
in the state, regardless of party
have already inaugurated a cam.
paign to insure his election as
president.
With Fairbanks the people
generally are better acquainted,
He was elected vice president in
1904, along with Col. Roosevelt
as president and his record as
presiding officer of the senate
met with the approval of all sen.
ators. He halls from a pivota
state and will add to the strength
of the ticket.
