3.-It may be said we can stock our
ranges with sheep. Then what of our
watersheds? If the ranges at the
headwaters of our streams are given
over exclusively to the grazing of
sheep, the late water for our farms
will be seriously impaired. These
sheep will come mostly from Utah,
being shipped here in the spring and
to market in the fall, paying little, if
any. taxes in Colorado.
4.-The homesteader will be unable
to turn his few head of stock on the
range adjoining him for fear of their

up his fences.
5.-The railroads will not need to
fence their rights of ways which run
through many ranches and farms
throughout the state. They can sue
for trespass on their lands and in case
of wreck due to animals wandering
on the tracks the railroad company
would be able to collect damages for
injury to the train and passengers.

Mr.. Wilson Indiets Himself.


Practically Mr.. Wilson indicts him
self and his policy in an article con-
tributed 10 the current number of the
Ladies' Home Journal and heade
"The Mexican Question" One is led
to wonder whether the president de-
ludes himself or whether he hopes to
delude the public with expressions of
opinion SO much at variance with his
acts. He may be, as Disraeli said of
Gladstone. "inebriated with the ex-
uberance of his own verbosity' SO far
as to be unable to see that he con-
victs himself of things he warns the
country against. But as we are fore
ed to believe his intelligence superior
to such weak self-deception, we are
Is the people he aims at fooling.
The major premise of the article is
that our inter-meddling in the affairs
of any Latin-American government
must ALLEVIATE not only that govern
ment but other Latin-American gov
ernments. The minor premise is that,
as a strong government, the Unite i
States is under a moral obligation }
deal with small or weak states with
as much consideration as 1t would
show to a strong one. Mr.. Hughes. in
his address at ST. Louis few weeks
ago. effectively disposed of the minor
premise, which Mr.. Wilson had that
day enunciated in his acceptance ad-
dress. by forcibly contrasting Mr.. Will
sons precept with his attempts to coz
troll Mexican election. his armed in
vasion of the country to overthrow its
de facto government, and his recogni.
ton and support of Francisco Villa as
a man worth while for the promotion
of a revolution in Mexico against a
legal administration in that country
which Mr.. Wilson did not approve.
The major premise remains. II Is
true that Mexico should be left alon
to make this struggle" but Mr. Wilson
has refused to leave Mexico alone

months to investigate the Administra-
ton, but the Administration figures
he's doing very well as 1t is.
Yes. and the same policies that have
filled Judge Hughes and others with
"a deep sense of shame" have sent
